Where is the Best Tattoo/Piercing in Austin, Texas?
I got my first tattoo at the Burnett location tonight. Dallas was the artist I worked with. Walking in at 9ish, being kind of a yuppy-looking late 30s guy, I wasn’t made to feel unwelcome or “what are you doing here?” He worked with me on the vague idea I had in my head for what I wanted and sketched out a great design. He could tell I was nervous (or maybe I came out and told him, I don’t remember!) but he gave me a good idea of what I was getting into, kept me informed along the way to let me know how close to being done he was, and in general was quick, skilled (as far as I can tell so far), and professional. The place was clean, well lit, and in general pretty approachable. He even took a picture of it for me with my cell phone before covering it, geek that I am. He said he was new at the studio and didn’t have written instructions for after-care, but he went over them verbally several times. He covered it with saran wrap, which I guess is a personal preference, but there is where
I went in to get my first tattoo the day after my 18th birthday with by best friend and younger brother. I already had a design that my friend had drawn up, and the artist (Chip) asked me a few questions and quickly got me into the chair. He answered all my questions…even though some of them must have seemed pretty stupid. He was straight forward with me, and very patient cause I kept asking him to stop since I’m a wimp and couldn’t handle the pain. I would definately go back again, they had a reasonable price, and Chip was rediculiously nice.Pros + Great customer serviceCons – Difficult parking
I have gotten 2 tattoos by Jack now and i love them!! The colors he used are still bright and beautiful almost a year later and not only did he do a wonderful job with the tattoo itself, but he is a great person, he is very patient and makes sure it is exactly what you want no matter how long it takes. He understands that a tattoo is permanent and will do really whatever you want – like reapply the stencil a dozen times until it is what and where you like 😉 If it is your first – second – or 100th tattoo…you haven’t had the experience you should have when getting one till you get one by JACK!! The shop itself is small and intimate – VERY clean and well kept. It makes you feel very comfortable! And there is parking in from of the building and all along the street that runs right behind it – easy to get too and there is some fun stuff to do around it if you have to wait a little bit 🙂 Everyone else that works there is really pretty nice to – they don’t give off the arrogant “If your n
Carlos was nice enough to fit me into his schedule at the last minute since I was only going to be in town for a short time. He drew up the sketch quickly and listened to my ideas and concerns while also making it his own. He was very professional but also made the experience comfortable. The tattoo came out beautifully and looks better everyday. Thanks Carlos!Pros + Friendly, Reasonable price, ProfessionalCons – none come to mind…
