Little Pricks Tattoo

I booked in with Kevin to get a simple tattoo, with a consult a month in advance. I paid a $103 deposit, knowing that it would go toward my tattoo. Two weeks prior to my appointment, I changed my mind on what I wanted done. After calling multiple times, and leaving two messages with other staff members, I had to reach out to him via Instagram to communicate the change in design. He answered my DM prompty, and had the print out of the plug-and-play kind of tattoo I was requesting. He said he couldn't make it smaller, though the tattoo that I sent him for reference was half the size of what he said was possible. I decided to move forward (in hind-sight I probably should have thought on it longer) and an hour later, I had it on my body. It is beautiful, so that's good. He didn't care to make much conversation past his own agenda. At the end he asked for another $103, to which I said "Oh, I already paid the deposit" -knowing full-well that the tattoo cost max $150. Really, I could have had it done for the $100. I paid because I couldn't exactly protest the payment request, but I left feeling gypped and unhappy with the experience behind something that is permanently on my body. I did not tip, because I feel like I got gouged. The shop is nice pleasant, but my experience was far from because I felt there was dishonesty behind his pricing and I did not feel taken care of.

The shop was super clean and all the staff were great to work with. Zach was our artist and he was very down to earth and did a great job making sure the size and placement of our tattoos were just what we had in mind!

Great Studio with artists spanning all styles. i have done a geometric leg sleeve from Kyle, whole leg. working on chest. This is the shop in North Austin to get what you want. Check out everyone, the whole shop is extremely talented.

The shop was clean and customer service was standard. I gave a two star rating because I didn’t get the results I was looking for. I had my sons name tattooed on my bicep. The ink in the tattoo spread/bled, so the lines didn’t turn out as crisp as I would’ve hoped. It is also a lot bolder/darker than I want. I really want to love my newest tattoo, but I don’t. I can live with it.

Classy tattoo shop. Very clean and feels like a salon. Cool music, too. Multiple artists to get just the right look you want.

Very clean tattoo parlor, the whole staff were very friendly. My artist was nice and payed attention to all the details that I had hoped would be included in the final piece or art. Will definitely be returning here in the future!

I've gotten 3 tattoos from Tita so far, including my very first one. She's super helpful and so freaking talented. Shop is clean and everyone is very respectful. I can't recommend this place enough.

Definitely go to KEVIN! he did matching tattoos for me and my bestie. He was sweet, he was funny, and most importantly he had a light hand and a great artistic sense. It was only my second tattoo he made it effortless. I’ll def be back.

I visited this shop this year, after being given a business card at my job. I called ahead of time and they said sure, we have no appointments, come on in for a consult.

I show up. Sit for 45 minutes. Nobody greets me. Finally someone asks me to schedule a consult in another week. I told them hey it's not a big tattoo, just script. They wrote down what I wanted, asked the size. I was quoted $250 for 2 hours. $100 down right now. So I paid the $103 (service fee included).

I come back in for my appointment with Travis, he's got a couple choices for my script work. Seemed really irritated that I added a few more words. Wanted to add a heart, purple on the inside, black on the outside.

My tattoo took 45 minutes, including the consult. I paid $350 for two hours. He never asked me about my tattoo, never talked at all really. Told me when he was done.

Didn't try and sell me an aftercare kit. He treated me like I'd done this 10 times before. I haven't gotten a tattoo in a decade- this was very important to me.

My lines are good. It's dark. Didn't get infected or anything. No fading. 6 months in, it looks great. But I can't help but think about how I could've gotten more bang for my buck almost anywhere else.

Travis does good script work. He just doesn't invest himself in your art at all if it doesn't seem important.

By the way, Travis, thank you for the memorial on my shoulder for my child that died.

You pay for the tattoo and the tip UP FRONT. Not after. If I could take back the tip, I would. I'm still bothered by the entire staff lack of enthusiam.

Edit: I never would have left this review if you didn't send me an email 8 months after my tattoo asking me how I felt about it. Too little, too late.

Well honestly, the tattoo is a 4/5 stars. It could have been cheaper imo. I got a feather that covers about half my forearm on the inside of my arm. It’s not very big, but I was charged $200 and then asked to tip BEFORE my tattoo.

Only three stars because the art has lasted 5 years without a touch up, but the price and handling was awkward.
