TULSA, Okla. – A criminal complaint was unsealed charging a Bixby tattoo artist with six separate counts of Sexual Contact in Indian Country.

Today, Austin Wayne Haley, 30, appeared before the court for engaging in unwanted sexual contact with six women whom he was tattooing. Court documents allege that from the fall of 2024 through December 2025, each victim scheduled a tattoo session with Haley at his home or tattoo studio. During the appointment and while Haley was tattooing the victims, he positioned his bare penis on the victims’ body and ejaculated on some of them.

Haley is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

The FBI and the Bixby Police Department are investigating the case. 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.
