our story

It all started with a trip to Puerto Rico back in 2019. We fell in love with island life— the lush greenery, relaxed atmosphere and friendly faces. Eager to bring those vibes back to the Gainesville tattoo community, the idea behind Oasis was born.

Oasis Tattoo Collective, founded by Paul and Maria, opened its doors in downtown Gainesville just before the 2020 pandemic. What began as a bold creative endeavor has grown into a warm community hub. Our studio is more than a workspace—it’s a laid-back, vibrant sanctuary where every artist and client feels like family. We invite you to come see why we’re one of the nicest tattoo shops around.
