Good to know before you book
- Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.

This shop is absolutely amazing! All of the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The decor is so meticulous and beautiful. A really cool mixture of eclectic elements and lots of plants! The bathroom is one of my favorite rooms! The entire space was always clean and smelled lovely! I always felt so relaxed when coming in for my appointments! I was so fortunate to work with both Annie Mess and Chloe on a very large piece over the course of several months and to say i LOVE my tattoo is a severe understatement! I highly recommend checking out the shop and all of the super talented individuals that work there!
444 Tattoo is hands down the most welcoming tattoo shop I’ve ever been to. The entire space feels calm, comfortable, and genuinely friendly. The shop is clean, organized, and thoughtfully designed, and everyone there treats you with kindness and respect. The shop and the artists make the whole experience feel relaxed and approachable. I always feel safe and excited to be there, which says a lot about the culture they’ve created. Austin is lucky to have such a wonderful shop. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive, judgment-free tattoo experience!
Went in for the second half of a tattoo from Abby Elaina today, and couldn't be happier with the results! She's incredibly calming and easy to talk to, and she's meticulous, so you know you're not getting a rush job. The line work healed perfectly and the shading looks great! Already planning on going back to add on some more!
