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.
- 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.
- Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.
- 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.

Added another flower on my arm today by Bubba. The whole experience, including communication was so great! Bubba is SO nice and professional and the shop is super clean! I’d recommend them to everyone I know that is looking for a tattoo!! Definitely will be back!
Bubba and Sunshine are incredible. It has happened multiple times where I compliment a strangers tattoo and they say it was them. Their lines are so clean, colors bold, and I love how they have a unique combination of American traditional with a Texas twist. My husband and I will only go here. 10/10 would recommend
I met tattoo artist Roxanne Sunshine at the Star of Texas Tattoo Revival convention in January 2022 and really love her work. I had this original idea design, single outline and some splash of color for this Frida Kahlo. I really loved the way she took the design and added her vision and style to it. I am beyond happy with result. She is super talented, friendly and professional. The shop is clean and I would defiantly recommend it.
