Tattoo Shops near Manchaca

“I'm positively thrilled to leave this shop a glowing rave of a review because it is SO nice! I have only been to shops in Austin and let me tell you how it usually goes. YOU want a tattoo? Really? Here comes the soccer mom! I won't do that design. I only work with my own art. It has been rough to find a good studio that treats me like I am a human and also one with professional artists that respect what my wishes for tattoos are. I had basically given up on getting any other body art done until I found this charming little studio on Instagram. First off, it's a little south but not too far. It's in the country on beautiful property. It's so nice and quiet. The place is pristine with no smell, no loud tattoo machine noises, no smokey smells. It's the cutest little shop. There is a sweet shop pup to greet you and the most friendly staff ever. I had an amazingly calm and professional experience here and I'll certainly be back. I highly recommend the beautiful and talented Jordan, who not only gave me my three new tattoos but she also fixed two of my old ones!“

“Sophie listened and took her time explaining each procedure. I had microblading done a year ago and came back for nanobrows. She did an amazing job and I felt at ease and trusted her opinion.“

“Got a tattoo done by Ian Seth about a month ago now. It was big piece that lasted around 6-7 hours. I felt very comfortable and it was nice I could have my bf with me. He had snacks, drinks, and a tv which made it homie and easy to relax. I felt comfortable to ask to pause when the burning was a bit too much. He gave me a paper for what my aftercare steps would be and it looks absolutely amazing. (Not sure if I can post the picture here but check out his social media for his work @iansethtattoos“

“Amazing tattoo experience from the day it was booked until the day it was complete. Charles is an amazing artist whose creativity far exceeded what I had imagined for my tattoo. It was awesome to watch my original idea evolve to what eventually became the final design. Thank you, Charles and Laura, for your hospitality throughout this process. I can't wait to see your idea to complete the rest of my sleeve!“

“One of the best shops in all of Texas. You cannot go wrong with the level of talent contained within its walls. If you are serious about tattoos, this is your spot. Thoroughly professional and the shop experience speaks for itself. Been going to Steve Byrne for a few years now, outstanding fellow! However, it doesn’t stop there, I would get work by any artist in there. Just look for yourself, their work does all the taking you need.“

“Tye Harris is as awesome as advertised. I saw a tattoo he did on an old buddy of mine and I knew I would get one of my dalmatian Maggie from him one day. And sure enough did not disappoint. I'll be getting my malinois from him hopefully early next year“

“AJ hooked me up with an amazing tattoo artist.

got my wish onto my body 100%.

professional and great advice regarding position and layout.

definitely recommended“

“Got my first tattoo here last October, and another one last month. Donny designed two GORGEOUS tattoos for me. I gave him a vague idea and some reference pictures and he managed to turn it into something unique and beautiful. His designs lined up so well with the vision in my head, almost like he could read my mind! Everyone in the shop was so friendly and professional. I was really nervous about my first one but everyone was so chill and welcoming it ended up being a great experience! Donny, Kasha, Brooke, and Manny were all so calm it totally erased my anxiety! I appreciate that they patiently explained everything to me and answered all my questions! Will definitely be returning at some point :)“

“I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo from this shop for such a long time and i was finally able to make some time. I was helped by Chris who designed an original piece for me. He puts a lot of love into his art and is very passionate about his work. He also makes sure you’re as comfortable as possible. On top of that, everyone who works there is incredibly nice, and creates a great environment for the shop. Go check them out!!“

“Love this woman! She's so smart and funny and easy to talk to, which are all great characteristics to have when you're tattooing someone for hours lol. She took my drunken sketch of a trex in a fascinator and turned it into my dream tattoo! Her shop is also hella cute and not at all dark and gloomy and kinda scary like some others. Can't wait to get my old, tattoos upgraded by her!“

“Have had several tattoos done there, all exceeded expectations! Most recently, May 2024, Alex did one for me of my Granddaughter’s name with a cool wave design. Highly recommend Ancient Ink. Top notch work!“

“A family member who got after surgery medical tattooing done by Arnoldo referred me to him. I needed a name in black ink covered that was sitting below a tribal tattoo located above my breast. I emailed Arnoldo to set up the consultation. He got me in his studio within a few days. I told Arnoldo I wanted watercolor and then I let him come up with how he wanted to approach the cover-up. We met again a few days later to get the job done. He not only made the name unnoticeable, he also brought out the tribal tattoo above it and made it into a spectacular masterpiece of perfection. He gave me detailed instructions on how to care for it so it would heal with no scabbing. Prior to meeting Arnoldo I had tattoos done by 3 other artists who do clean work. Arnoldo takes clean work way beyond the norm and has you leaving with a badass tattoo from a very kind, professional, talented and cool guy.

Cleanliness: Arnoldo is all about making sure everything is clean.“

“Dylan is a super talented artist. My husband and I had an idea and he nailed it. Designed the tattoos even better than how we imagined and it was really fun talking to him during. Highly recommend him for your next tattoo!“

“Vee was absolutely amazing. I've never had a tattoo hurt so little and her line work is absolutely amazing. We didn't have appointments but she took both of us no problem. She heard what I wanted but gave me her input to what would look better and she was absolutely right. The vibes were immaculate and I will absolutely fly halfway across the country again to have her work on me again. 10/10. Thank you again Vee - Lily and Karrigan“

“Edit 9/21: After discovering that the non communication was actually a miscommunication. The shop got me in fast for a touch up and did great work, Thanks Tim.My initial experience was pretty good but when I made a follow-up conversation to see if I could get the tattoo touched up because it came out lighter than I was hoping and I asked how much would it cost I never got a response through multiple times reaching out.Service: Tattoos“

“These guys make you feel at home, and really love what they do. Go here for realism artistry too!“

“Dope appt only shop. The guys are super nice. Cool atheistic and vibe. Very clean. Looking forward to my next session.“

“By far the best tattoo experience I've ever had from start to finish. From start to finish, it was always easy to get in contact with Jason (he replies to emails same day) and the booking process was straightforward/simple. He provides you with all the information you need and a sketch to look over before your appointment. He is very open to suggestions and it is obvious his main concern is that YOU are happy with what is going on your body vs having any sort of ego about his design.The actual appointment itself was very cozy, pleasant, and fast. Jason is incredibly friendly and conversational and I found that the time flew by/the pain was so minimal since I was so distracted.His craftsmanship/attention to detail is unparalleled and I teared up seeing the tattoo come to life on my body- the art is just incredible. I will definitely be going to Jason for any of my tattoos going forward. He has set the bar so high with his work ethics, artistic talent, and the welcoming environment his shop has. Saying that I am happy with my experience working with him is an understatement.Service: Tattoos“

“Cammeron is the man! Great personality, got me on the table quickly, and he had good competitive pricing. Will definitely be visiting again to keep the sleeve going!“

“Three cheers for Caroline who was so friendly, professional, and a fab artist when my bestie and I walked in for matching travel tattoos.“

“the BEST piercing experience: ask for Sarah ~ she’s so kind, patient, and excellent
got my ears gauged and felt so welcomed

“I had a great experience here getting my first tattoo! Toxyc is an incredible artist, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was very considerate and willing to work with me.First picture is right after the first session, and the second picture is one year later.“

“Love Adam's work He's not to far away and his ink I very well made My oldest tat is now 7 years old“

“I so very much enjoy going to Dovetail. Thom is an incredible artist, and all around great person. He takes the time to really understand what I am envisioning for a tattoo and uses his skill to create a masterpiece.“

“We had a great experience at Gully Cat! Our artist Slim was friendly, creative, and professional. He sat us right away and helped us fully realize an idea. We'll definitely be back!“

“Loving second tattoo, the artist Alex was so nice to me. Can't wait to have him doing my next one. ??? 10/10“
