Our Work
Featured Pieces
A selection of recent work — each one a collaboration between artist and client.
Custom tattoo designs crafted with care, precision, and a personal touch. From your first piece to your next story — we bring your ideas to life on canvas.
Every piece is custom-designed for you — no flash sheets, no shortcuts. Just real art, made to fit your story.
From small, delicate pieces to full sleeves — we design and ink something uniquely yours, tailored to your body and vision.
Old piece fading? We'll refresh and revitalize your existing tattoo so it looks sharp and vibrant again.
Tell us your idea and we'll sketch it out together. Free consultations to make sure you're thrilled before the needle ever touches skin.
Alongside our tattoo work, we offer a range of beauty and hair services to help you look and feel your best inside and out.
Got a tattoo you'd rather forget? We specialize in transforming old work into stunning new pieces that tell a better story.
Never gotten tattooed before? We walk you through every step — from aftercare to placement — so you feel comfortable the whole way.

At Grinnin' Bear Tattoo, we believe every tattoo tells a story. Located in the heart of Atlantic, Iowa, our studio is a welcoming space where creativity meets craftsmanship.
We take the time to understand what you want — whether it's a meaningful symbol, a bold statement, or something entirely new. No rush, no pressure. Just honest conversation and art that you'll be proud to carry with you.
"First time getting tattooed and I was so nervous. They made me feel completely at ease. The design came out even better than I imagined!"
"Got a cover-up done here and I'm blown away. They turned something I regretted into a piece I absolutely love. True artists."
"Super friendly atmosphere and the attention to detail is unreal. I've been back three times now and every visit has been perfect."
