Ollie idlehanded

Howdy! I’m Ollie (he/him), and I’m the owner of Howdy Darlin’ Tattoo, alongside my husband Vic.

My work is somewhere in between American Traditional and neo-traditional tattooing styles; essentially, I use bold lines and lots of pink. My flash is inspired by video games (get me talking about Fallout or Red Dead Redemption!), old cartoons, nostalgia, and music. I’m a 90s kid who grew up emo, and it shows!

When I’m not tattooing, I’m hanging out with my two cats, Pumpkin and Parsley, exploring castles with my husband, or building elaborate mid-century homes in The Sims.

I love taking on custom work as well as tattooing my own designs. Pop me a message or drop by the studio and I’ll be happy to chat with you!
