Pair -O- Dice Tattoo

This is the place to go if you want great tattoo work in Tulsa. Actually this is the place to get a tattoo even if you don’t live in Tulsa! Richard and Jen (the owners) are great people with lots of experience and the expertise to get you the exact tattoo you want. Richard is a legend in the tattoo world and the quality of his work stands out. You’ll be happy with what ever tattoo you come home with, I guarantee it!

A shop that can handle almost any tattoo in a clean professional atmosphere! My number one pick for getting tattooed in Tulsa and is owned by tattoo legend, Richard Stell and his wife Jennifer. Great people!

I feel bad giving this place a bad review because everybody seems to love it but… The younger guy that was suppose to do my tattoo was the biggest asshole I’ve ever met. He talked to me like I was incompetent. I wanted a simple tattoo, literally just some dots and lines, even though I couldn’t find an exact picture; I was trying to talk to him and work with him. He wanted it to be his work, not mine though, every time I tried to talk to him he interrupted me and made all my ideas sound stupid. To me, a tattoo artist is someone that is suppose to help you and work with you to figure out what you want. Guess I was wrong. To make it worse, he started playing on his phone while I was talking to him.
I do want to say, the older man with the eye patch was really nice and his work looked good! And that over all the tattoo store seemed awesome, just not a good experience for me.

I required a fairly complicated tattoo of the 50 state flowers as well Guam and Puerto Rico as a full sleeve. I was required to come in and put down a $ 100 deposit in order to have a design worked up to counteract flakiness in their customers, which I completely understood. The $ 100 deposit is applied towards my last session.
We did need to reschedule once, but I didn’t mind at all as Jen kept me in the loop, as well as sent me a rough draft of the design Joe was working up.
Everyone at the shop was very professional and nice. Honestly, when I left Oklahoma 20 years ago tattoos weren’t even legal. So it was very nice to find such a nice shop here in Tulsa. Between Texas and California I’ve been to some very nice and vety crappy tattoo shops.
We completed the outline the first day and I’ll be back in a couple of weeks to work on the color. I’m very impressed with Joe’s line work and very excited for the color to be added. I have complete confidence I’m going to love the finished product.
Will add to this post when finished.
Edit: sorry the small pics, I cropped them to not include anything to revealing.

I was a walk-​in one Sunday afternoon looking to cover-​up a hideous tribal I got a few months back at some place on Brookside.
Anyway, without expectations I consulted with one of the artists, Joe, about some ideas. I came back three days later to a badass lotus flower half-​sleeve. Joe’s attention to detail absolutely blew me away we got started immediately.
After a few sittings I have this amazing half-​sleeve completely covering that hideous past mistake.
I joke with Joe and say he saved my arm because if I couldn’t find an artist to cover up my last tattoo them I’d go through with amputation.
Needless to say, I highly recommend Pair-​O-​Dice and Joe if you are looking for a great artist with any tears of experience. I have no regrets with this and, in fact, plan to go back for more in the future.

Had Jay give me a tattoo today. Called first just to see if they were busy. Gave him an idea of what I wanted. Went in about an hour later and he already had some sketches drawn up. I loved them. Made my selection and back to the chair I went. It was great. We chatted about a bit of everything which kept my mind off the worst parts of the tattooing process when it became intense. I would absolutely go back if in the Tulsa area. Clean place, awesome atmosphere, and the artist was spectacular. He literally brought my dreams to light

Great shop. Richard and his wife are genuinely nice people. Richard’s artwork speaks for itself. If you want an amazing, classic american traditional tattoo… Richard is the man.

Welcoming and clean,
A legendary artist,
Best Am/​tradish ink!

You are not getting a real tattoo unless you are getting it here. Richard and Jen are the best, and I’m not just being cliché, do your homework on who they are. Richard Stell is a legend. He tattoos tattooers. He is well respected in the industry. He has done about 20 hours worth of work on me and I have enjoyed every trip I have made from Dallas TX. I drive 5 hours to get a tattoo from him, if you are local, I’m jealous. If you are going to get a tattoo, get it here.

Where do I start with Pair o Dice? Let me start by saying this: if you want a tattoo in Tulsa, this is the only place you should go. I’ve basically dedicated the rest of my non tattooed skin to this shop.
Why you ask, what’s different? They are people that love tattooing! I mean really love tattooing. The shop is run by Richard and Jen Stell and good ol Bubba Reaves. Both Richard and Bubba have learned from some of the best tattooers around. They have serious resumes. But don’t take my word for it, just walk in and look at their work.
This place is clean! It is (to my knowledge) the first and only shop to pass health inspections on the first walk through in Oklahoma. They have taken great care to keep it that way.
The shop is also beautiful in terms of design. Original tattoo flash and painting decorate the walls. (Its probably the only place around with original Ed Hardy paintings)
So, if you love tattooing and solid work from friendly folks this is your place. If you want terrible tattoos, go some where else.

Richard Stell tattooed the front of my torso over the course of a year and I truly enjoyed every sitting. He is a top-​notch artist and all around good guy to spend your time and money with. His wife Jen is an amazing human being and a pleasure to work with.
The shop itself is great. They have quite a collection of items and artwork around the shop that are definitely worth checking out.
The next time you need a tattoo, give Pair-​O-​Dice a shot. They take walk in’s and appointments. I’ve never met Bubba, but I’ve heard really good things. You really can’t go wrong with this shop.
