Charles Huurman Tattoo - Best Tattoo Artist Austin TX | Tattoo Shop In Austin | Tattoo Places in Austin

Charles & Laura, were absolutely amazing & incredible to work with. From start to finish, the experience was welcoming, professional, & genuinely enjoyable. I felt heard, respected, & genuinely cared for. Charle's talent is unreal—every line is clean, every detail intentional, & the final piece somehow exceeded what I had imagined in my head. He took my idea and elevated it into true art which truly sets him apart, & Laura makes the whole process feel seamless & comfortable. The studio was immaculate, the vibe was calm & welcoming, & the entire process felt collaborative & thoughtful. They are deeply passionate about their work—& it shows in every aspect from the moment it begins! I’m already planning my next tattoo & wouldn’t trust anyone else with it!

Out of all the tattoos I’ve received from shops all over the country, nothing comes close to the experience with Charles. Everything was exceptional throughout the entire experience! From collaborating directly with Charles through numerous design consultations, to the coordination and proactive information and communication from Laura, all questions and concerns were answered timely and effectively. Once you arrive at the shop for your tattoo, you’ll see why this experience is different. It’s a completely private studio. No more getting packed into a busy tattoo shop out in the open with several other artists and clients. This is a total VIP, one on one exclusive experience unlike any other from start to finish. And the exceptional quality of work and design that Charles provides is 2nd to none. I’m 16 hrs in to a 32 hr tattoo. And after two back to back sessions, I’m ecstatic with the results so far, and cannot wait to go back to finish out this piece which is my entire leg from the knee down. I’m blown away by his design and hyperrealism. Unquestionably the best experience and best artist out there! 1/26 update: I wanted to provide an update and some photos of the finished product. The black and white portion on the calf was existing and not tattooed by Charles. But he was able to incorporate it in seamlessly. Everything stated above in my original review remained true through the 3rd and 4th sessions. Exceptional experience throughout the entire process. Laura checked on me every couple weeks and she was truly a pleasure to work with. And Charles, what an amazing artist and visionary! Personable, professional, and a pleasure to work with and interact with. 34hrs total to complete this living work of art over 4 sessions and I couldn’t be happier! His finished product is exquisite! My camera isn’t the greatest so don’t judge it off of that. The details, shading, hyper realism, and blending of colors is breathtaking. I have not gone out in shorts once without several total strangers stopping to check it out. They stayed in contact through the healing process and answered any and all questions with clarity and compassion. If you’re on the fence, KNOW that if you go with Charles/Laura, you are in the best, most professional, and most capable hands out there! These guys are 2nd to none in every way possible! I can’t wait to start the journey with them again in the near future.

I had an incredible experience working with Charles and Laura. From the very beginning, scheduling was seamless. Laura was super helpful, responsive, and even sent over reminders along with maps for location and parking, which made everything stress-free. During the initial consultations, Charles took the time to really listen to my vision and understand what I was hoping for. What he created not only captured that vision but went far beyond anything I imagined. This was a major cover-up project that took two full sessions, and throughout the process, the studio was comfortable and accommodating, an ideal environment for something so personal. Charles is truly a master of his craft. His skill, creativity, and attention to detail are next-level. He’s not just a tattoo artist, he’s a true artist in the purest sense of the word. Since getting my tattoo, even my wife is now planning to go to Charles for her own piece. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional, meaningful work. I’ll definitely be coming back to Charles for future tattoos. Thank you, Charles and Laura, for everything!
