Came by for a walk-in and was able to get an awesome piece from Hunter! Highly recommend this shop.

This was my third wonderful experience at a Shaman/Pineapple establishment. I went in to Sacrament after being treated in a rushed/uninterested manner at a nearby shop. My partner was like, “Sacrament is nearby...did you know it was a Shaman shop?” And I was like, “I had no idea, betch! Let’s go!” This was a semi-spontaneous tattoo that I wanted, and I only had a general idea when I walked in. I was greeted instantly, described my idea to the front desk guy, and within ~20 mins an artist sketched an idea that I loved...on his first try.
Because this was a semi-spontaneous tattoo, I didn’t know who I’d be paired up with. When the front desk guy told me it would be Barry, it was *extremely* helpful to have all of the artists’ portfolios on the coffee table in the waiting room. Being able to see Barry’s past work was extremely calming.
Within another ~10 mins I was back on Barry’s table. We experimented with a few placement positions on my back and the tattooing was over in about 10 more minutes. I love the artists I’ve worked with at Shaman because they use high-quality bandages that make healing a breeze. Barry was professional, intense in a yes-this-guy-is-an-actual-artist way, and hella talented.
I was quoted a fairly high range and my final bill was the higher number of the range. Oddly though, this was all comforting. The old adage “you get what you pay for” is never more true than it is with tattoos. And I was paying for permanent, legitimately original art that was perfectly executed on my skin. Clean, cool place. Thanks, guys!

Got two tattoos done here by Hunter. I was very happy with how they turned out, and Hunter was wonderful. He displayed exceptional professionalism, sanitation, and design. I would happily go back for additional work.

I can't say I'm all that impressed with the tattoo I received there. I went there with my best friend when he stayed in Austin for a week. I had a cute little butterfly done above the tattoo for my daughter's name. The line work is not even, the whole left side is bigger than the right. The antenna is a little smudged I would say. The color is a little more basic than I would have liked. It was actually really expensive for something so small that didn't take even an hour. It was done by Barry and the only reason I give two stars is because he was really nice and patient with the million questions my friend had. But even her tattoo isn't all that. I figured I'd let it heal up mostly to see the final outcome before I posted my review but I'm still not happy with it.

Barry is absolutely my favorite tattoo artist! I drive to Austin for two reasons, Barry's tattoos and food. I have 4 tattoos from Barry and they are all magnificent. But the fish is my favorite. Yes it supposed to be upside down, because it is dead. The title of the work is To Bloom not Bleed, and by the artist Peony Yip. If you are in Austin or have the joy of living there, go to Sacrement!
Just finished with Elmo Little Hands, super awesome artist! He did the "As You Wish".

The artist Elmo killed it with his design and professionalism. The atmosphere at the shop was very welcoming and they answered all questions. Elmo was great and will be going back soon. If you are a anime fan, he’s your guy.

This place has a really chill vibe. Everyone is awesome and helpful. I've gotten two tattoos done by Chris and am impressed with his work and his general demeanor of kindness and respect for the art and the client.

Great artists & staff. They do a great job at making it a fun & comfortable experience. Barry & Chris did 4 tattoos for my group, they all turned out exactly how we wanted.

A very big thank you to Jacob Todd for some excellent olive branch work! This shop is great - it’s comfortable to be in, it’s clean, and the people were friendly.

Dylan Mott has done two wonderful tattoos on my shoulder. One from his flash, one freehand. I drive up from San Antonio because he’s the only person I trust to do tattoos. His pricing is super reasonable and he’s very, very nice!!! Everyone at Sacrament is. The shop is also very clean and sanitary. Dylan uses surgical wrap stuff (can’t remember what it’s called) that helped both of my tattoos heal faster.
Whether you’re wanting your 50th or your 1st tattoo, I would recommend this shop. No weird egos or anything to make you uncomfortable, and Dylan is very kind and flexible when it comes to what you want.
