Johnny O’Connor

My preferred style of art is anything highly realistic, detailed, or colorful. I have been tattooing for the last 21 years, and I’m an Ironworker by trade. I opened my first shop in Mt Vernon in 1998 and tattooed there until 2006 when I found a location here in Cedar Rapids. When my wife and I moved to Cedar Rapids and business started to take off, I retired from the Ironworkers and began tattooing full time. I went to DMACC art school in Des Moines from 1990-1992. I have been with my wife Tammy, since 1995 and married in 2000. My hobbies consist of motorcycles, tattooing, and spending time with my friends, family, and grandsons.

I will not be taking appointments from Nov-Feb, but you’re welcome to come look at my portfolio in the shop.
