Good to know before you book
- Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
- 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.
- Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

100000000/10 - I cannot recommend Michelle (Brow joon) enough!!! She's incredible from her professionalism, to her artistry, to her kind disposition and empathetic nature. She really holds a safe space for you during her tattooing and she was so detail oriented, warm, and grounding. I'm heavily tattooed with lots of friends in the industry, but I can say with confidence my experiences getting freckle tattooed with Michelle were my all time favorites. I would highly recommend if you're ever curious or interested in cosmetic tattoos. (I also saw she's starting to open up time slots for flash as well!!)
I found Neto on Instagram while looking for something bolder and more traditional. His style is so cool and was exactly what I was looking for. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and put my piece together from my inspiration pieces perfectly. I love my new tattoo so much and can’t wait to book again. He also gives out a little goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful touch and really appreciated. The shop itself is welcoming with a friendly, laid back atmosphere.
Booked an appointment with Baylor while I was visiting friends in Austin. He was exceptional to work with. He was a great communicator, seemed enthusiastic about my idea for a piece, and produced exactly what I wanted. His work is outstanding and his rate is fair. He was fun to chat with while he worked, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The shop is clean, and bright and welcoming. The rest of the staff is also very friendly, warm, and smiling. Another perk is that the music selection was top notch. Can’t recommend this shop more highly.
