A Bixby tattoo artist has been charged with six counts of sexual contact in Indian Country, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in Tulsa.

Austin Wayne Haley, 30, appeared in court following allegations that he engaged in unwanted sexual contact with six women during tattoo sessions. Court documents state that from fall 2024 through December 2025, each victim scheduled an appointment with Haley at either his home or his tattoo studio. During these sessions, it is alleged that Haley placed his bare penis on the victims’ bodies and ejaculated on some of them.

Haley is identified as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

The FBI and the Bixby Police Department are conducting the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacey Todd is prosecuting the case.

“A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
