What locals say about Austin tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Austin.
“I'm not sure if I ever wrote a review for my first tattoo with Copperhead, but I got a tattoo back in 2024 from Miranda and absolutely loved it. She worked with me and helped bring my vision to life with her signature touch and I can honestly say it's the cutest little moon ever, that a lot of people often compliment. Today I went in for their Friday the 13th special and had the pleasure of working with Zac! The tattoo came out amazing and I was well taken care of and adore the tattoo I chose! I'll also say this is the best Friday the 13th experience I have ever had. The tattoo options and pricing are great! The staff also went above and beyond and it was nice to be put on a waitlist so I could run a couple of errands in the area and then receive a half hour courtesy call to come back. It's always good vibes and easy going when I go to copperhead and I can't wait to be back! 🩵”
“Highly Recommend! Walked in and they were able to fit us in on a Sunday afternoon. They took our design and showed us multiple different sizes and the prices of each. Everyone was very friendly.”
“🌸✨ Tattoo Review: Floral & Hummingbird Thigh Piece ✨🌸 I am absolutely in love with my new thigh tattoo! The floral design is so detailed and delicate, and the hummingbird adds the perfect touch of life and movement. The placement on my thigh makes it both bold and feminine — it flows beautifully with the natural shape of my leg. The artist did an incredible job with the shading; the flowers look soft and realistic, while the hummingbird almost looks like it’s hovering midair. It’s truly a piece of art that I’ll cherish forever. 💐🪶 If you’re thinking about getting a floral or nature-inspired piece, I highly recommend going for something like this — it’s timeless, meaningful, and absolutely stunning. 💖”
