If you are looking around I definitely recommend getting your tattoo here. Everyone that works here is super personable and the artwork they do is amazing. My husband and I have been getting our tattoos done by Matt, and you can tell how much passion, care, and hard work he puts into tattooing and Oculus itself. Read Less

Wow! Oculus is the definition of a clean and professional shop. Matt's work is simply amazing. Detail where I didn't even think of in his design of my tattoo. Beautiful art. Fantastic shading and brilliant colors. Not only did I love his work, but he was great to chat with while getting it done. Great artist and person. I may never go anywhere else again. They also have a retail section of his work on clothing and jewelry in the shop. Read Less

Very decent selection of supplies, and allows the convenience of immediate access as opposed to waiting for shipping from tattoo supply websites (and obviously waiving what can be high shipping costs). Staff is knowledgeable, and it is a nice bonus to be able to ask about new products from the perspective of a colleague in the tattoo industry. Read Less

Create is a beautiful and very clean, Modern tattoo shop! Really one of the best I've EVER been to. Organized, calm, comfortable. Erik Clark did my first character tattoo and I'm happy as hell with the amount of detail and accuracy! So stoked!! You NEED to get in here! Coming back for more. Read Less

Matt is a true artist! He took my vision and was able to cover up a tribal piece on my shoulder with an amazing ‘trash polka” knight’s helm. He is a craftsman in his field and takes the time to make sure the final results are perfect. This includes follow up sessions and touch up. He takes pride in each piece he works on and wants to ensure that his clients are fully satisfied. Already working on my second piece with him. Stop in for a consul you won’t be disappointed!

Matt Christensen is a phenomenally talented artist and his professional approach to his business and work is commendable. His studio is very clean, welcoming, and has been furnished with quality equipment. I enjoyed collaborating with him on my piece. It was nothing like I originally envisioned but that was actually a good thing! I absolutely loved his interpretation and unique twist on my ideas and ended up feeling so much happier with his creation than my own idea. Matt holds himself to a high standard, takes his works seriously, and clearly loves what he does. He is fantastically creative and skilled. You will be in excellent hands if you choose to work with him and I highly recommend his studio.Read Less

I have never been as impressed with an artist as I am with Mattie. His artwork is unmatched, and his level of professionalism is something you don't see in very many tattoo shops today. You give him an idea, and he comes up with nothing short of a masterpiece. And no matter what you ask him to do, he always has a way of making it his own, giving you a unique/one of a kind tattoo. I've been stopped countless times to be questioned about where I had my work done; his pieces speak for themselves. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

Mattie is by far the best tattoo artist in Central NY! I did my research and watched a lot of online portfolios of local artists before I selected him and he definitely did not disappoint. He's completed a huge cover-up on my back and a half sleeve of photo-realism portraits for me. I've never received so many compliments before in my life! People who you would never suspect will stop me dead in my tracks to talk to me about his work! It happens so often I had to carry around a stack of his business cards to hand out to people so I didn't have to keep writing his information down for everyone! He has the craziest ability to pack in color and his artwork are some of the most creative and beautiful I've ever seen! I will always recommend him 100xs over! Read Less

Highly recommend matt and his shop. I am very happy with a cover up he did for me recently. He is an awesome artist, tattooer and all around cool guy. If you're looking for high quality work done go here. The shop is super clean and inviting. Will definitely be getting more work done in the future and have and will recommended to others. Read Less

I brought a good tattoo idea to the table and Matt added good ideas of his own. The result was a collaborative design that led to incredible tattoo work. I get regular compliments on the bright colors, intricate details, and overall style. And it’s not even done yet! I’m eager to get more work done by Matt and am excited to check out his new shop. A smart canvas goes where the artist goes, and I’m going over to Create as soon as I can. Read Less

Great place to get a tattoo. The shop is spotlessly clean and has a great atmosphere. Matt did an amazing job fixing a tattoo (still in progress) that another artist had started and never finished. Super talented - and smart with his color palettes. Gorgeous work. Can't wait to come back. Read Less
