I got my first tattoo here for the mini Monday and they did a great job! There was a slight wait but I could leave and they called me when it was time to come back about an hour and a half later. Everyone was super nice and I will definitely be coming back!

Always had a good experience at Ink. Got my first and second tattoo here and the artists made it an easy and comfortable process. All the staff members were friendly and the environment was homie. Great service and good pricing for tattoos in Austin.

This was my first time getting a tattoo and they were super professional and understanding. The owner helped me design both of my tattoos until they were the perfect size and font for me. The artist showed me the clean materials and tools between my tattoos and ensured I felt comfortable since I was super nervous. I especially loved that it was black-owned. I’m not a tattoo person but if I happen to get another, this is where I’m coming back to. Thank you Ink Empire!

It was Mini Monday's, which is amazing! There were a lot of people in line when they opened and they had us sign a list with our numbers and called us when it turn came up! It was very organized. I love my tattoo, but I would encourage their artists to allow the client to see the positioning in the mirror before they just start. I had told them I wanted it right under my hair line on the back of my neck and he ended up doing it much lower. I had told 2 people the same thing, so I assumed he was doing it in the right place. But, they make you sign a waver for no refunds, so I'll just have to deal with it. Again, I love the actual tattoo. Just be sure to insist on seeing it prior to inking.

Had a great experience with Ink Empire for my first tattoo. We scheduled for 4 of us to get matching tattoos - we got in on time, they already had a drawing ready for us that was perfect and exactly what we wanted (2 size options as well), it was efficient, they gave good instructions on after-care, and it’s a really good price for the work. Everyone working there was super nice as well. Literally no complaints.

I got a tattoo covered and added to by Julio. He did an absolutely amazing job. I absolutely adore my sunflowers! Everybody is very professional and a lot of fun to be around. The shop was very clean and easy to get comfortable in. I’m pretty sure I fell asleep a few times lol.
Would definitely recommend Ink Empire, for both Tattoo vets and first timers!! All the artist are amazing. I watched a couple others get hit and their ink came out gorgeous. Julio is the goat though, he got me right and fit me in before a trip. Ask for him!

I drove here from Houston and spent the day here in Austin and it was such a great experience! The lady at the front counter was so friendly and amazing! The mini Monday deal was awesome I was able to sign in and go explore Austin! Vikk was my tattoo artist and he was very welcoming and funny, I will definitely be coming back here whenever I’m in Austin. Everyone was so nice and the shop was super cool :)

I’ve had multiple mini Monday tattoos done here now and they never disappoint. It’s nice to know that you can always get a spur of the moment mini tattoo that’s well done without paying a $100+ minimum.
