Bio

---

Omari Dean is a professional tattoo artist and entrepreneur whose career spans more than two decades of commissioned work, independent artistry, and creative enterprise. 

His practice is distinguished by technical precision, original composition, and an ability to translate memory, identity, experience, and personal symbolism into permanent visual form.

Working throughout Michigan, Georgia, and Florida, Omari has developed a diverse body of work shaped by clients with equally diverse aesthetic preferences and personal histories. 

Whether executing intricate custom work or large-scale statement pieces, his approach remains fundamentally collaborative: the objective is not simply to apply an image to skin, but to create work with particular meaning for the person who will carry it.

That philosophy is expressed through TATTOO — Timeless Art That Tells Our Origin, a phrase that articulates Omari's broader understanding of tattooing as a form of visual documentation. 

Tattoos can commemorate people, preserve experiences, signify transformation, communicate cultural identity, or mark periods of a life that might otherwise remain invisible. 

In that sense, the body becomes both medium and archive.

Through OmariDean.com, Omari is extending the visual language developed during his tattoo career into a broader design enterprise. 

Rather than separating tattooing from his other creative interests, the site brings those disciplines into one coherent portfolio encompassing commissioned tattoo work, graphic design, apparel, cause-related merchandise, and specialized tattoo skincare.

Omari's apparel work translates his illustrations, ideas, cultural references, and graphic sensibility into wearable form. 

T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and selected coordinated pieces serve as the principal medium, while individual lines allow him to explore markedly different subjects without diluting the identity of the larger brand.

TATTOO — Timeless Art That Tells Our Origin carries the central philosophy of his tattoo practice into clothing, treating tattoo culture not merely as imagery but as a language of history, memory, identity, and self-definition.

Money Hungry by Omari Dean addresses ambition from another direction. 

Its imagery is rooted in enterprise, persistence, economic aspiration, and the discipline required to continue building when circumstances are less than ideal. 

The emphasis is less on conventional motivational language than on the mentality of sustained pursuit.

Lickidy Split — Breast Cancer Awareness by Omari Dean uses apparel as a vehicle for recognition and visibility. 

Developed around breast cancer awareness, the line acknowledges survival, remembrance, advocacy, and the families and communities affected by the disease.

 It allows Omari's visual practice to engage a subject whose significance extends well beyond fashion.

Dog House Apparel by Omari Dean introduces humor, domestic life, and pet culture into the portfolio. 

Its defining visual device is the familiar Polaroid photograph: dogs are pictured occupying homes with the confidence, personality, and entitlement familiar to anyone whose pet has effectively become a member of the household. 

The lower margin of each image carries the signature Dog House by Omari Dean, creating a consistent design system even as the photographs and personalities change.

Its premise is deliberately simple:

This is their house. We just live in it.

Together, these lines demonstrate the range of Omari's design vocabulary. 

They are not intended to look identical or communicate the same idea. 

Their relationship lies in authorship: each originates from the perspective of an artist accustomed to developing imagery around personality, symbolism, attitude, and lived experience.

Omari's experience with tattooed skin also informs Tattoo Juice by Omari Dean, a developing skincare concept positioned specifically within tattoo culture.

After more than twenty years of working directly with skin, the relationship between artistic execution and long-term care is an obvious extension of his professional experience. 

Tattoo Juice is therefore being developed around practical skin maintenance rather than as an unrelated beauty venture.

The proposed system includes Tattoo Juice Wash, Tattoo Juice Hydration, and Tattoo Juice Balm, addressing cleansing, moisture, conditioning, and routine care of tattooed skin. 

The products may ultimately be offered individually or together as an integrated tattoo-care regimen.

The development of OmariDean.com represents a progression rather than a departure from tattooing. 

A tattoo artist necessarily works across several disciplines at once—drawing, composition, color theory, typography, symbolism, anatomy, client interpretation, and visual storytelling. 

Apparel and product design provide additional surfaces on which those capabilities can operate.

The platform also incorporates causes of personal and community significance. 

Autism awareness remains an established part of the Omari Dean brand, and clients who mention autism awareness when booking may receive 15% off their tattoo service. 

Lickidy Split extends that commitment to breast cancer awareness through visual design and merchandise.

What emerges is an enterprise grounded in a single professional foundation rather than a collection of disconnected ventures. 

Tattooing remains the principal discipline; design, apparel, awareness initiatives, and Tattoo Juice are extensions of the same creative practice.

After more than twenty years behind the needle, Omari's work continues to develop without abandoning the principle on which it began: art acquires its greatest value when it has meaning to the person who possesses it.
