My friend has gotten many pieces done here and thats one of the best recommendations a shop can get in my experience. I go and see Emi here, but I do have an appointment with another artist (Amy) coming up. One of the best vibes I've had in a shop. Everyone has been polite and wonderful conversation. The shop is always clean and has very aesthetically pleasing decor. I'm pretty laid back and I like to mess around with different styles and Emi is so easy to work with. Definitely come if you are new to tattoos or if you are just looking for some new artists. I know the pics could be better, but I'm very happy with the work and will continue to come back and recommend the shop.

Got my first tattoo here by Jasmine and it’s absolutely incredible. Words can’t even describe how beautiful the tattoo came out. I recently lost my dog and Jasmine gave her back to me forever with a beautiful portrait on my arm. I can’t recommend her work enough. Everyone at the shop was kind and welcoming, their communication is great and I will 100% be back for another tattoo.

I’m proud to say that I was one of the first clients to walk in the door when Jasmine opened her own shop here earlier this year. She is a skilled artist with a warmth and kindness that makes one feel right at home. Every time since my first appointment, I have been blown away by Jasmine. She is truly a rare blend of talent and craft. Her approach is fun and playful, but don't be fooled - she takes her work seriously and is a true professional. When she saw that my first tattoo was still not fully healed, she decided to wait a few weeks before doing the second one. Mind you, I booked the time for a full 2-3 hrs, and even though it meant losing money, she did the right thing. The rest of the artists in her shop are wonderfully kind, and the vibe here is welcoming to all! I’m moving out of Austin and will genuinely miss this fantastic hidden gem. It’s places like this that make Austin so special!
