Oculo Visitant Gallery — Attraction in City of Oneonta

Words can often be meager things especially when trying to find the words to describe the wonderful and unique experience that is provided by Oculo; Oneonta's PREMIER tattoo shop.

For me it had been almost 8 years since my last tattoo, which was a simple glyph the size of a small orange that took no more than an hour or two. Never before had I had a piece of this magnitude done on my body. I was in unfamiliar territory and I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel some small sense of anxiousness.

I chose to work with Dan and words cannot begin to describe his level of professionalism and the quality of his work. He has taken years to perfect his craft and the passion that he infuses into his work is a testament to his artistic gift.

Dan made the five hour session on my forearm feel like a fraction of the time that I actually spent sitting in the chair. I came with headphones and an external battery for my phone not knowing what to expect from what I thought may prove to be an arduous session. I soon found that they were unnecessary items for me to have brought.

Dan is an incredibly down-to-earth individual and an absolute pleasure to speak with. I found myself immersed in good conversation for a majority of the session. He made the entire experience beyond better than what I ever could have hoped it to be and I will definitely be returning.

Don't make the mistake of taking your business elsewhere. Choose Oculo and most definitely choose Dan. Not only will you leave your session with a work of art on your body, but you'll leave your session with a friend. Thank...

I walked into this shop around 5oclock Tuesday night after just coming from another tattoo shop up the rd to get my sons name tattooed on my neck. One of the tattoo artist (Dan I believe ) pretty much cautioned me about how a neck tattoo COULD be portrayed by people and how It may effect certain things which I completely ignored BUT respected because it showed he cared . I got a next day appointment with Lance who I Facebook stalked when I got home to see what his work looked like before I let him touch me with permanent ink. I was a little worried because he just started there a few months prior and there wasn’t any reviews from anyone about him. His work looked good so I decided to go ahead and show up for my appointment. Before even showing up he drew up countless amounts of different tattoos for me and showed me his favorite one which I absolutely loved. I told him I was nervous about getting it tattooed one my neck and I was worried about it hurting like holy hell but he made me feel comfortable and even make me laugh a few times ( which is rare) 🤷🏽‍♀️. He took his time and made sure everything was perfect, you can really tell that he truly and honestly cares about his work. I’m still not exactly sure if neck tattoos hurt or not because he doesn’t have a heavy hand and he has a soft touch which was also great. I definitely recommend him you won’t be disappointed! I’ll also definitely be going back to him for all...

Craig Rodriguez was supposed to be my artist, 2 weeks after putting my deposit down haven’t heard from him finally gave me call resounding in him telling me he’s gonna bash my head in the street and to bring my mom and father so he can fight them to as well as my boss, All because I wanted to know what was going on.. as a paying customer getting a 600-1200 tattoo I was treated with so much unprofessionalism and rudeness I would not recommend this artists to anyone!
