Ray's Tattooing

Ray's Tattooing is Lincoln, Nebraska's original tattoo studio, established in 1988 in the south Lincoln area and recognized as the city's oldest tattoo shop. The studio is run by two generations of tattooer, a father and son, each with their own distinct style but a shared laid-back approach, working alongside another established, talented artist for strong creative collaborations. Popular styles at the shop include black & gray, fine line, watercolor, traditional, and non-traditional work, and clients can request a specific artist or have their design worked on by the team as a whole.

The shop keeps things small and personal, focusing on a comfortable, friendly atmosphere with experienced artists who genuinely enjoy the craft. A one-artist, one-client, one-guest policy at Ray's Tattooing helps keep each visit calm and relaxed. Services include free consultations for larger pieces, same-day tattoos for designs under five inches, and custom tattoo design based on client requests. The studio operates by appointment only, offers free parking, and is closed Sundays and Mondays, welcoming visitors ages 18 and up throughout the week.
