CHRIS troyer

Hi my name is Chris, a tattoo artist based out of Reflection Room in Cleveland, OH. With a passion for bold, detailed, and custom tattoos, I aim to bring your ideas to life in a way that feels uniquely yours. Whether you're looking for something that’s meaningful, creative, or straight-up badass, I work closely with my clients to make sure they walk away with a piece they’re proud to wear forever.

I’m a firm believer in creating a welcoming space for everyone—no matter your background, identity, or experience. This is about art and connection, and I want you to feel comfortable and respected every step of the way.

Outside the studio, I’m a father, husband, and dog dad, balancing family life with my love for pop culture. I’m a huge fan of Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Super Metroid, and Spelunky—so if you’re into those, we’re already on the same wavelength!

Check out my portfolio, browse my merch store, and if you’re ready to book a session, hit me up. I’d love to work with you.

the name Ruok, and where it came from

If you didn’t notice, Ruok is read “are you okay” and 8 year old me thought I was so incredibly smart for coming up with that, so it stuck with me ever since. My brother was playing a game that required naming his character and he asked me for help. The name was limited to 4 letters so I came up with ruok and for whatever reason that stuck with me, through my first email, my brand in college, and now my brand in tattooing. I even have it tattooed on my finger! So, R u ok?
