Dylan Coke is a tattoo artist at Main Street Tattoo Collective specializing in American Traditional, primarily working in black and grey. His path into tattooing began in an unconventional place: Marine Corps barracks rooms at Camp Pendleton, California, where he first started tattooing in 2019 while serving on active duty.
After completing five years of active duty service in the Marine Corps, Dylan began a formal tattoo apprenticeship at a shop in Orange County, California. It was there that he continued developing his technique and discovered a passion for painting American Traditional flash and creating original, one-of-a-kind pieces for his clients.
Dylan eventually opened a private tattoo studio in Long Beach, California, where he continued developing his work and artistic style. After years on the West Coast, he decided it was time for a change of pace and relocated to O'Fallon, Missouri in 2025, bringing his experience and distinctly traditional approach to Main Street Tattoo Collective.
Today, Dylan combines the bold foundations of American Traditional tattooing with his preference for black and grey to create work that is recognizable, timeless, and uniquely his own.
