ABOUT US

Skanvas started in Southern California back in 2011. After 14 years of owning and operating a highly reputable shop in both LA and Orange County, plus having world renown artists come through its doors, it was time for the business in California to come to an end. But in mid 2024, one door closed and another opened, which lead to Dustin moving his family to Oklahoma City. It didn't take long for him to find a new home tattoo wise, after being welcomed with open arms in the reputable shop, The Oklahoma Collective. Dustin built a bond with the shops talented artist all while rebuilding his clientele all over again. As he never intended to open a shop again, circumstances in his personal life lead Dustin to open up a small shop in the Downtown OKC area followed by his apprentice / daughter Jaden.

Having over a decade of experience in the tattoo industry paired with his entrepreneurial mindset he possessed at an early age, it was a no-brainer for Dustin to create something of his own that tied into the tattoo world. Fate brought Dustin and his client John, a mechanical engineer, together to form a duo to where they would combine forces to offer something unique to an already existing product...the silicone ink cap. Although the silicone ink cap has been around for a short period of time, something was missing. Besides the important features of the silicone ink cap, such as not having to worry about damaged needles trying to get the last drop of ink, caps tipping over etc... The two had come up with unique colors, multiple sizes, and a design that was created to not only provide more stability than what is out on the market currently, but to expedite the setup process for artists by eliminating the need for ointment, tape, glue sticks, or whatever artists use to hold down their ink caps.
