Dire Wolf Tattoo and Fine Art

I cant say enough good things about this tattoo studio! I got a tattoo from Jeff (who owns the place) and he was amazing. We communicated via email first to discuss my tattoo project. When I arrived, he knew my name, he made me feel comfortable, and he was prepared.I also had a great conversation with Jeff during the session. Moreover, I was impressed by how much the artists care about cleanliness/hygiene/sterile technique standards while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere (I witnessed a few jokes about the music choices of one of the artists over the sound system).I am very happy with the final product. I also feel confident that I can contact Jeff if I have any questions or am in need of another tattoo. I know that they already have a positive reputation in the area, but I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone who asks!

One of the last remaining real tattoo shops. Its not some BS place run by children. Prices are good, vibe is chill, work is great. Go see Jeff he runs the place. He did a killer job.

I love love love this place. Jeff has done 8 of my tattoos and I won’t go anywhere else. Not only is he incredible at what he does, but he’s an amazing person. I love the conversations we have while I’m there - it’s like catching up with an old friend.

Jeff did an amazing job! Proud of his artwork & experience! Highly recommend!!!

Tyler did a great job. Very little swelling healing quickly. Detail work was excellent, plan on going back to fix the work of a bad Tatooist! Highly recommended!

Jeff (the owner) is great! Price is super fair, quality is outstanding. I gave him a simple idea that I wanted him to make a little more flashy and he nailed it! Jeff will receive all my business and my close family and friends business from this point forward. Thank you Jeff for doing such an amazing job on the lines and shading! I absolutely love my tattoo!

Got my first tattoo here, by Katelyn Crane! She was very helpful in explaining the tattoo process and aftercare, as it was my first time. Katelyn drew a lovely design, and was patient with me to accommodate re-drawings so I could be happy with the final version. The shop is very clean and well spaced. The tattooing went smoothly, its been 2 weeks and its healing perfect, I feel very comfortable in how safe and healthy the artists technique and equipment are. Great overall experience. Im already planning my next tattoo, and Dire Wolf will be my first choice of shop!

Katelyn Crane is an amazing tattoo artist, very experienced in the industry, and incredibly patient! This shop is awesome as well: great atmosphere, clean, open, and good relationships between everyone working there. The owner, Jeff, is very friendly and laid-back and strives to make all his customers completely happy. Ive recommended the shop to everyone who has commented on my piece!

I have been getting tattooed at dire wolf for over 6 months now and I have had a good amount of work done by Jeff Johnson. Jeff is extremely professional and the shop is immaculate. The quality of work that comes out of this shop is top notch and every artist at Dire Wolf is amazing. I highly suggest anyone looking for quality work to check this shop out. Jeff is the man.Update Edit: Ive now been getting tattooed by Jeff for almost 4 years now. Jeff is still the man. The work that comes out of this shop is amazing. The team at Dire Wolf are some of the coolest, nicest, and best artists Ive met. I highly recommended Dire Wolf for any custom tattoo projects. If I could put 6/5 stars I would.

My daughters and I went to Jeff together to get a memorial tattoo for a family member that had passed. Good communication, clean environment and our tattoos turned out great! We love them❤️

Hands down best tattoo shop around. Every artist here is super talented and can knock out any piece you throw at them. Great atmosphere, everyones always happy, great place to hang out and chill and chat while youre getting your tattoo done. My artist is Spencer and hes very down to earth and extremely talented.

Dire Wolf is an extremely professional, clean, and inviting tattoo shop. Its the best in Thousand Oaks. If youre looking for fantastic, quality work by a true artist, Id say check them out. Youll see impressive portfolios and truly good work. I cant give enough positive feedback for this shop.

Ive been getting tattooed at different shops in the Ventura County and Los Angeles County areas for over 19 years now. This is the first and only shop that I immediately felt comfortable and not intimidated to be in. Its very clean, professional and just generally a cool vibe in there. All the artists put out great work and have impressive portfolios up on their Instagram pages. I urge you to check out their work and there truly is an artist there for anything whether it be traditional, black and gray realism or colorful illustrated pieces. Im so happy Thousand Oaks finally has a place like this now and I dont have to look further for high end quality work.

Jeff and Wyatt are awesome. They know their craft and take it seriously. Having been tattooed regularly for the past 13 years, I wouldnt recommend any other shop in the Conejo Valley. This is the place!

When I walked in I first noticed how clean it was. Wyatt did my tattoo and he did an awesome job. He was super friendly and made sure I was comfortable.I will definitely be going back for more work.

Katelyn did incredible work. My Buck and Roses are beautiful and a constant source of compliments

Been going here for a while now and I highly recommend it. This shop is full of professionals who work with you to create true works of art! All the artists are so talented, so it just depends what style youre looking for. This is my most recent piece from my artist Katelyn Crane.

Got a half sleeve outline here a couple months ago, didnt turn out how I pictured it at all, he scarred me in a lot of places, the lines are screwed up and most arent even connected? He also charged me by the hour so the clock was still running for every cigarette break he had to take, every time he stopped to talk to the other people in the shop and all this crap. I wound up paying $450 for ONLY the outline and its less than half my arm. Not going back and I suggest other people who want something big and detailed done dont go here. And DEFINITELY dont let him charge you by the hour.

Went in last Saturday for a portrait tattoo done by Tyler. Satisfied with the work and quality of the tatt. Tyler was thrilled to do the piece and Jeff was thrilled to see the finish product. Ill be back Fahsho. -Parry

Im sure I will share this with you I called to set an appointment with a guy named Jim and I have seen out there for quite a while. You never called me back Im still waiting for his call he seems to be a very great tattoo artists and Ive been wanting to get a tattoo by him only for a long time so why isnt he calling I dont know

Loved this place! Everyone was super friendly and the environment was very clean! Spencer did an AWESOME job on my tattoo and I look forward to coming here for my next tattoo!

I got a small line work tattoo. He messed it up in two places where he drew the line in the wrong place and went out of the line in another place. Then, I did everything he said to do to take care of it and it scarred and the ink bled out to the surrounding skin. Very upset that I spent 100$ on this messed up tattoo.

Super clean, friendly and professional staff. unlike any other tattoo shop Ive been too.

Tyler ia awesome - delivered exactly what I was expecting. Great Studio - great service !

Great!

Highly recommend this place. Great work. Nice people.

Hands down best shop this side of the Mississippi. Professional and clean.

Jeff is super friendly and awesome!

Great shop.....super friendly

Cant wait to go back.

The Best...

Professional!

Thanks for a good job
