Matt Norris always does an amazing job. I’ve been going to him for years. He is the only person I trust with my tattoos, he just did the dragon from spirited away on my forearm and I’m in love!! I’ve gotten so many compliments already. The detail and line work is amazing. Thank you again!! Can’t wait to come back in 2-3 weeks so he can touch up my other tattoos :) I will add a picture once it’s healed

Scott Olive at the Main street location did a full sleeve for me and killed it!I came to him needing a cover up on my hand and then wanting to add a full sleeve. He made my vision come to life and created something even better. His work is amazing, he creates extremely saturated deep color and pays such incredible attention to detail. He is a true ARTIST and even gave great conversation during our long sessions that can drag. I get so many compliments on my sleeve everyday from literally every type of person...they are just in awe and call my arm a work of art. I love it! Oddity is very clean, organized and great customer service. I will continue to recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much!

Jesse did an amazing job on my tattoo.He drew up a customized idea for me based off a picture i found. It turned out super cute. It was my first one so I wasn’t sure what to expect but he made sure I was comfortable and explained everything that I needed to know. Whitney was also very nice and helpful. Clean shop that cares about sanitation and great artists. Hopefully I can come back for another tattoo soon!

I’ve been going to Matt Norris for years now! I’ve had so many beautiful pieces done by him. His artistic style, his creativity, his technique, and his professionalism are all top-notch. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their new favorite tattoo.

With so many tattoo shops in Sarasota to choose from, oddity always remains the best as they have consistent proffesionism within the shop along with some of the best artists in the area. I have about 70 hours of tattooing at oddity with most of which with Nate.Thanks oddity tattoo.

Turned out better than I couldve imagined!Matt was a pleasure to work with, and a quick wait for a consultation and appointment. This is by far my favorite tattoo, so matt if you see this thank you!! The shop was very clean and open, staff was friendly and welcoming. Wish I couldve gotten my first tattoo here, and definitely coming back for more :)

Matt Norris did my tat a few days ago and it came out absolutely incredible! He is the guy to go to if you are looking for highly skilled, detailed artwork. I couldn’t recommend a better artist.

Just got two tattoos done with Jesse; great experience for two people who were getting their first professional tattoos. He explained everything to us, the shop was clean, and the final result is amazing! Definitely recommend Jesse, his detail work is wonderful and hes very chill to talk to.

I recently got two tattoos done with Ambo and am about to go in for my third! He is an absolutely amazing artist and I’m so happy to have worked with him. Not only does he make incredible designs, but he listens to his clients and makes sure they feel comfortable. It’s very clear that he cares deeply about his work. I’ve received so many complements on my tattoos. The whole studio was clean and felt welcoming. I loved my experiences at Oddity!

My wife and I are THRILLED that Scott Olive is back in Sarasota. Scott is a great artist and equally great person. The shop is clean and staffed with super nice people. The other artists are also top notch. Check out Ambo. This is my go to shop.

I had the pleasure of having my first tattoo done by Alex Lugo a few months ago. He explained everything thoroughly, the planning and scheduling process was easy, and he was very accommodating to last minute design changes. The whole experience was pleasant and the tattoo healed nicely. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him! Thanks Alex!

Oddity tattoo is the best tattoo shop I’ve been to!! They are very clean and professional... Everyone is really cool and friendly. Ambo is working on my sleeve and he’s been amazing. He’s very patient and clearly communicates expectations. He makes sure I’m getting the best tattoo!!

Nate was my tattoo artist at Oddity, he was amazing, very professional and clean. For my first tattoo, I was very nervous, but now that I have my tattoo, I want more. The artwork I had done is absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be coming back!

Review №24

I came to Oddity after looking at Ambo’s work on Instagram and instantly fell in love with the illustrative detail work he does! I can not be happier with my rib piece and the level of detail and attention he paid to it! The ribs for sure is a spicy spot but he made it a very comfortable and manageable. I would highly recommend checking the whole shop out cause they have amazing and killer work

Jesse Benson is an outstanding artist with an impressive ability to do what needs to be done for any piece. I have gotten nonstop compliments on both of my tattoos done by Jesse. Everyone is astounded with the details, coloring and outline along with giving compliments about how the details were wedged into with each other ended out nicely put and gorgeous.

Review №27

Out of the couple places I have been tattooed at, Oddity is the best choice. Their service, friendliness, artists, and overall turnout of tattoos is amazing. They came highly recommended to me and they have surpassed all my expectations. I have always been satisfied with the pieces I had done here. If you can, get in touch with Jesse at the Sarasota location, one of the coolest guys I have met and some amazing work from him.

The artists here were SO accommodating! They spent time to make sure that it was exactly what we wanted. Before we started they cleaned everything, including the chair. This was after we saw them clean up after their last client. Our tattoos are gorgeous and very linear for what we were doing. Everything was perfect!

We came in with a group of 7 ladies ranging in age from 15 to 72 years old. All but 1 for their first tattoo. We wanted matching tattoos all done the same day since we were visiting from different states. Oddity went above and beyond to make that happen for us! We all left very happy customers!

Review №31

My experience here has and always will be extremely professional and worthwhile. I enjoy everyones presence and appreciate the art brought to the community in a safe and healthy manner. I applaud the high degrees of professionalism the staff has achieved throughout their career. I have had a tattoo done here, and a touch up. I also was present during a piercing. Both experiences exceeded expectations and I would absolutely recommend this location to my peers every time. Thank you Matt & April!

Review №32

I was pretty picky when it came to choosing a tattoo parlor because this was going to be my first and probably only tattoo. My sisters and I wanted matching tattoos and one sister had already been here and highly recommended we go back. I love that the artists are all talented painters and true artists. Everyone there is creative and impressive with their abilities. Our artist was Jesse and his script work is superb. He was very thorough with cleaning before and after each of us. Our tattoos match beautifully and I loved my placement. He worked well with me since this was my first tattoo (and Im crazy and put it on my ribs). He was super nice and was very helpful with caring for our tattoos. It ended up being a really fun day and I would recommend Oddity to anyone looking for a great tattoo!

Went to Oddity Tattoo on advice from a friend. checked out the tats online and the artists and made an appointment with Nate. Nate took my basic design and turned it into something great.Have had the tat only a few hours and getting loads of great comments. Store was clean neat and organized. Artists were all nice and have their own style.Being from Canada i wanted to make sure it was good before i started and would recommend Oddity to anyone. Love my new tat.

Review №39

Everyone here is an absolute professional and amazing artist. I get so many compliments on my half-sleeve and I always recommend Oddity. I would not go anywhere else in Sarasota. Ambo is amazing and I have plenty of friends with work done by the other Oddity artists and it’s all incredible. They do amazing work.You might have to wait awhile to get in because they’re booked fairly far out, but that just tells you how good and highly recommended they are. Not to mention, you don’t want to rush a piece of art that will be on you for the rest of your life.I’m not an artist at all and I came in with an idea for a tattoo (not having any idea what it would really look like) and what Ambo came up with far exceeded anything I was expecting. Amazing artists and just some damn cool people who are complete professionals. Can not recommend more highly

I go to Tiph at the Bee Ridge location. She is amazing in every way. She is a very talented artist and she definitely has a passion for what she does. She is very professional and always on time and already has a design drawn out for me when I get there. She is a super sweet girl. I have been to her 5 times now and already have my next appointment and will have many more in the future. The whole shop is awesome. Everyone there is very friendly and professional.

My father and I just went this weekend to get matching memorial tattoos for my grandfather. It was both of our first tattoos. We had an amazing experience at the Bee Ridge shop. Very clean, everyone in there was great. Ambo was our artist and he was awesome! Very personable, had good input on what he thought would look good on the piece, and he did a great job. He set the whole day aside for both of us and even stayed late to finish up. We couldnt be happier and I look forward to coming back and getting work done!

I went to Oddity for my first tattoo and everything about this place deserves 6 stars! They were so helpful, I called and got their email address and via email and phone Mel helped me create a mod up. I came up with an idea and basic out line and they put it together and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted!The tattoo looks great and is healing very well, I could not be happier with it! Matt did my tattoo and did a great job! He made me feel very comfortable during the whole experience. I also very much appreciate how clean he was with his work area. As i filled out my paper work everything was wiped down and cleaned. Handles were wiped, and rewrapped in plastic. Very very clean. Oddity tattoo is amazing! I will be coming back and seeing Matt for the rest of my ink and so will my friends. :)-D

Review №48

I really, really enjoyed the experience I had being tattooed here. Id never been tattooed before, and my tattoo isnt that small; about the size of a mans palm. Matt Helmer was incredibly communicative with me before my appointment because I live in another state, and was visiting; he sent me several sketches and then we reviewed a finalized one before we began.This was my first tattoo, so I have no comparison, but it was really a pleasant experience overall; everyone was very friendly and answered my questions, and despite the post-tattoo high (endorphins, let me tell you) they made sure I had what I needed going forward to care for it.The tattoo is now about six weeks old, and its beautiful; fully healed and absolutely gorgeous. I will absolutely be going back the next time Im in Florida.

They treat you like family. Matt Helmer has been tattooing me for about 2 years and his artistic knowledge comes out in his work. If youre thinking about getting a piece of art on you...look no further!

Alex continues to do a remarkable cover-up job on my daughters tattoo. The Wolf is absolutely beautiful. Please do not get names tattooed on your body peeps. It is a helluva process to cover up! Thank you, Oddity Tattoo!

Review №51

Their shop is extremely VISUALLY APPEALING, GREAT ATMOSPHERE, FRESH MUSIC, VERY CLEAN, and you can tell the artists there really enjoy what theyre doing. I have gotten tattoos from both Scott and Vince. Both who I really enjoyed working with. I love how the shop helped me figured out which artist would be best suited for my specific tattoo. I had to schedule Vince out a couple weeks in advance because my tattoo involved black and gray realism and he TRULY DELIVERED! During the course of that time we emailed back and forth on what I wanted to see done, and what he thought would be most visually appealing as a tattoo. He even worked late past shop hours to get er done :P I see myself continuing to work with Vince because this was the first black and gray tattoo I had gotten and now I just want more to round my piece off seeing what can actually be done, the DEPTH and ATTENTION TO DETAIL is amazing. All in all I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop and they are WORTH THE EXTRA DOLLAR compared to other shops. Your tattoo will be on you for the rest of your life, might as well do it right the first time. I hope to get many other tattoos done from this shop. I wish this review allowed me to post a photo so you can see what I actually got, because I am that STOAKED about it. AWESOME!

Review №58

My family and I were in Siesta Key over Christmas break and got two tattoos with Jesse. At first I was a bit concerned because he took a very long time to draw out the design after I was asked to send the pics the day before so that he could have them ready. After meeting Jesse and seeing his work the wait was worth it! He is a very detailed artist and gave me exactly what I wanted and with minimal discomfort. The facility was the cleanest I have ever seen! I highly recommend Oddity and Jesse for your next tattoo.Anne Sullivan

I got my first tattoo about a month ago by Matt! I was really nervous and had been researching all the shops in Sarasota and Bradenton. I had heard really good things about Oddity so I thought id give it a shot. I just walked in without an appointment and it wasnt a problem! I had multiple pictures of what I sort of wanted but I couldnt find one that completely matched the idea in my head. In about 45 minutes I had a drawn up sketch of EXACTLY what I was picturing. Service was great and quality is amazing. I am in love with my tattoo and I will definitely be back!
