What We Do

Services Built Around
What You Want

Custom Design

Every tattoo starts as a conversation. We draw original artwork tailored to your anatomy, your aesthetic, and how you want it to age over the years.

Fine Line & Minimal

Delicate linework that speaks softly — botanicals, script, geometric patterns, and subtle pieces that look effortless on the skin.

Traditional & Neo-Traditional

Bold outlines, rich color, and timeless composition. Classic American, Japanese, or a fresh twist that pushes the genre forward.

Cover-Ups & Corrections

Old tattoo regrets are our specialty. We transform faded, poorly executed, or unwanted work into something you actually want to show off.

Touch-Ups

Even the best tattoos settle over time. Bring your healed piece back to life with a professional refresh that restores sharpness and saturation.

Piercing

Ear, nose, and surface piercings done with sterile technique and premium jewelry. Healing aftercare guidance included with every appointment.

About the Studio

Not a Chain.
Not a Franchise.
Just Good Art.

Side Street Tattoo sits on Saint Louis Avenue in the heart of Odessa, and we built it for the people who want more from their tattoo experience — a space that feels welcoming, an artist who actually listens, and a final result you won't second-guess.

We treat every client like a collaborator, not a walk-in. That means we take the time to understand what you're after, sketch something that fits your body, and walk you through aftercare so your tattoo stays sharp for years. No rush. No pressure. Just honest work.

How It Works

From Idea to Ink

01

Reach Out

Call, text, or email us with your idea — rough sketches, reference photos, or just a feeling. We respond within 24 hours.

02

Design Together

We create a custom design based on your input and send it for review. Revisions are part of the process — no rush, no extra charge.

03

Book Your Session

Once the design is locked, we schedule your appointment. Deposit required; walk-ins welcome for small pieces.

04

Get Inked

Show up relaxed, hydrated, and ready. We handle the rest — sterile setup, comfortable pacing, and a tattoo you'll be proud to show.

Questions?

Commonly Asked

Every piece is unique, so pricing depends on size, detail, and placement. We offer a minimum starting rate and provide estimates after reviewing your concept. Contact us with your idea and we'll give you a clear ballpark before you commit.

Appointments are preferred, especially for custom or larger pieces. Walk-ins are welcome for small, simple work when the artist isn't booked — but calling ahead saves you time and guarantees your spot.

Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal beforehand, stay hydrated, and wear comfortable clothing that gives us access to the area. Avoid alcohol the night before — it thins your blood and affects how the ink takes.

We provide detailed aftercare instructions after every session. The short version: keep the initial wrap on for a few hours, wash gently with unscented soap, apply a thin layer of recommended ointment, and avoid soaking or direct sun until fully healed.

Absolutely — cover-ups are one of our favorites. We'll assess the existing work and design something that transforms it. Heavier pigment or larger areas may benefit from laser lightening first, but many old pieces can be completely reimagined.

You must be 18 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID. We do not tattoo minors under any circumstances, and parental consent is not accepted.
