About Odyssey

Welcome to Odyssey, where artistry meets adventure. Founded by Maryssa and Shaun Gray, a passionate wife-and-husband duo, Odyssey is not just a tattoo and body piercing studio — it’s a journey.

 

With years of experience in the body art industry, Maryssa and Shaun have dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft. Maryssa, a skilled tattoo artist, and Shaun, an expert piercer, share a deep love for the art and the transformative power it holds. Three years ago, they set out on a life-changing journey, traveling full-time across the globe. Along the way, they immersed themselves in the vibrant tattoo cultures of 37 countries, learning, growing, and competing with the world’s best to refine their techniques.

 

Now, after years of global exploration, Odyssey is returning to Cary, North Carolina. Their mission is simple: to bring the unparalleled experiences, skills, and creativity they encountered on their travels back to the community they call home. At Odyssey, every piece of body art is crafted with precision, passion, and a respect for the traditions and innovations they’ve encountered worldwide.

 

Whether you’re looking for a custom tattoo or a unique piercing experience, Maryssa and Shaun invite you to join them and their team on this incredible journey — one that celebrates both personal expression and the beauty of global artistry.
