  Lifesavers. ..Or should I say nosering savers. I was in town for a conference and my nose ring came out suddenly and I couldn't get it back in !!! I panicked and rushed to them .They were super professional and helpful.

  So I walked away from this shop very annoyed... now let me Tarantino this for you. First mistake, we said we were from out of town... now mind you I dress like a yuppie but I'm covered from neck to feet, and my left hand is covered by a freehand Haida tribal but they can't see that. All I wanted was a simple phrase in Hebrew on my right wrist as an Austin souvenir which I brought in. There was a quiet gentlemen who observed. The artist came over and proceeded to lecture me how a tattoo's size actually works and how it ages in different parts of the body as if I'm 14 in NV on March break. That was first sign of trouble, there were more to come, stay tuned. My oldest tattoo probably predates when this young guy could legally step into the back of a shop but being half Asiatic I look a lot younger, I digress... Well, again being young looking and not having all my tattoos visible I gave this guy a pass. Price wasn't a concern so I asked what the hourly would be on this (knowing full well that this would take less than 45 minutes *with* set up.) But here is where the real trouble began... he proceeded to ask the quiet gentleman "oh what do you think? Two hours?" Oh, the quiet gentleman didn't answer. By now I am visibly annoyed and called the artist out on it and said "really? I'm pretty sure it doesn't take that long" and my sweet BYU looking wife whose tattoos are all covered also rolled her eyes. Which the artist's reply was "...but well this would be *the MOST* technical stuff on your wrist." Have you ever been on an elevator with just another person who farted, but looked at you in the eyes and said "you did it!" Well this was like that. Walked away promptly after getting my design back. Since my first tattoo while on a trip in Hong Kong, never had an artist stare me in the face and try to give me the swindle. Thought people like this only worked in the tourism industry selling generic Chinese-Made souvenirs for €20 more than they ought to be, but here an tattooist tried this. I don't doubt they have done great ink and have talented artists seeing some of the photos, (or maybe they don't since that simple wrist band was gonna be "the most technical" on my wrist.) I resent someone seeing potential victims of a tourist scam and attempt to do just that. Is Austin not a very tattooed city or this guy has done this to some tourists before so he thinks he can get an extra $200 out of some dumb young outta-staters? Money isn't an issue, I probably spent enough over the years to buy a 2017 Jeep Renegade, but I don't pay to be swindled so don't disrespect a customer that way. That was why this experience gave me a nasty taste of this shop. So, good luck! But for those of you from out of town, beware of people who can't give you a simple answer when asked "what's your hourly?" And as a frequent attendee of tattoo conventions, no matter how great an artist is, always another one just as good. Tattoos are a commodity, shop around and find an honest place you can trust.

  My best friend and I went here for a couple of small tattoos and were so happy with our experience from start to finish! Ben and Jonny took the time to make sure it was going to be perfect! I would highly recommend this place for all your tattoo needs! Very clean and they really care!

  My husband and I got our 1st tattoo here in the beginnings of April! We had to bring our toddlers with us since it was a last minute go on a whim sort of thing. I cannot express how thankful I am to the people who worked there for their patience. They put on kids movies and conversed with my 5 year old. Great customer service! And a wonderful job well done by Jon! We love our tattoos!
