Tattoo & piercing in Austin

Tattoo and piercing studios help you get permanent body art or a new piercing done safely by trained artists. Many offer custom design, fine line and single needle work, cover-up tattoos for older pieces, and body piercing with a range of jewelry options. Before you book, ask to see the artist's portfolio for work similar to your idea, and check that the shop is clean, uses single-use needles, and displays its licensing. Consultations are worth taking, since a good artist will talk through placement, size and healing. Book ahead for popular artists, and schedule a few weeks out if you plan a large piece.
