Meet Your Tattoo Artist

cory claussen owner and best artist at red arbor tattoo shop

Cory Claussen has over 18 years experience in tattooing. He has earned multiple industry awards, trained good artists who went on to open their own successful shops. He has worked across two continents, three countries, and more than 26 states, including combat zones. He calls South Dakota home and loves tattooing in & around the Sioux Falls area.

His specialty is traditional Japanese-inspired ornamental tattooing. Body suits, sleeves, back pieces, leg sleeves, and large-scale cover ups. He designs with the natural curves of the body in mind and has spent well over a decade refining how large-scale work fits and flows with the natural curves of the body.

Red Arbor Tattoo was established in 2014 and serves the Sioux Falls area.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Reach out to us if you have anything these don't cover

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes. Walk-ins are available on a first-come-first-serve basis with priority to appointments.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk in during open hours, or book a free consultation first to guarantee a spot.

How much does a tattoo cost?

It depends on size, detail, and placement. Pricing starts at $100 and goes up from there. We can give you a clear estimate at your free consultation.

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Every tattoo comes with some level of pain. The level depends on placement, size, and your own tolerance. We do our best to make the process safe, positive, and rewarding. Long sessions are common in our shop. Our clients get through them, and you can too.

How old do I need to be to get a tattoo?

You need to be 18 years old to get a tattoo in our studio, no exceptions, even if it’s legal with parental consent in some places.
