Yankee Doodle Dandy Tattoo
2322 University Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50311
Yankee Doodle Dandy Tattoo has been a fixture of Des Moines, Iowa since it was established on April 21, 1997. The shop got its start in the Drake University neighborhood known as Dogtown, and in August 2005 the whole operation was moved on skateboards down the block to its current location, where it has remained ever since. Known for "solid tattooing," the studio describes itself as a historic Des Moines shop that is open to all, welcoming everyday people looking for a tattoo in an easy-going, easy-to-book environment.
The team includes resident artists Dan Koenig, Darby Larson, and Jonny Dexter, and both walk-ins and appointments are welcome. Over the years, the shop has hosted numerous respected guest artists for special spots, including Freddy Corbin, Adam Ciferri, Pee Wee, Bill Stevenson, Doug Hardy, Matt Rousseau, Frank Carracioli, and Veronica Stice. Piercings are not offered here, keeping the focus squarely on tattooing. Updates on specials, guest artists, new merchandise, and travels are shared through the shop's Facebook and Instagram pages, reflecting a tight-knit, community-oriented approach that has defined this longstanding Des Moines tattoo destination for decades.
