SHOP HIGHLIGHT: Thousand Oaks Tattoos 🩸

Cyan 2026 was packed with artists bringing different styles, different approaches, and completely different energies to the floor — and Thousand Oaks was part of that lineup.

That variety is what makes Cyan work. Every booth gives people something new to look at, talk about, and get inspired by.

Thank you to for being part of the weekend. 🖤

What tattoo style makes you stop mid-scroll? 👀

Black & gray realism?

Anime?
Japanese traditional?
Geometric?

Okay, Cyan crew... show us what you left with. 🩸

Did you get tattooed at Cyan 2026?
Did you start a new piece? Finish something big? Grab flash? Sit for something you’d been planning forever?

Drop a photo in the comments and tag your artist if you know their page. We want to see what walked out of that building. 🖤

Color Realism at Cyan 2026 was no joke. 🏆🎨

Congratulations to the Color Realism winners:

1st —
2nd —
3rd — Amaadi Grose

Saturation, texture, contrast, tiny details — this category asks a lot from an artist, and the work showed up.

Huge respect to everyone who entered. 🩸

Let’s be honest… the beard & mustache competition is its own kind of chaos. 🧔‍♂️🏆

Cyan 2026 brought the tattoos, the artists, the vendors — and some absolutely committed facial hair.

Huge shout-out to everyone who stepped up, showed off, and made this part of the weekend so damn fun.

Unfortunately, we are no longer hosting this competition.

We are replacing it with a car show!!
We will still be donating proceeds to FLOC (For Love of Children - Dayton)

08/22/2026

Alright, we want to hear from you. 👀🩸

What was your favorite part of Cyan 2026?

The live tattooing?
The contests?
The vendors?
The food trucks?
The beard & mustache competition?
The people watching?
Finding your next artist?
Just being surrounded by a ridiculous amount of talent?

Drop your favorite memory in the comments — and tag who you came with. 🖤

Bold color, clean lines, character detail, and serious personality — this category was fun as hell to watch.

This is the sound of Cyan. 🩸

Machines buzzing.
Artists locked in.
Clients sitting tough.
Fresh work coming to life one line at a time.

There’s just something different about watching tattoos happen live.

That’s the heartbeat of the whole weekend. 🖤
