Came to finish the other side of my tattoo since my initial artist would not be available to finish…read morethe job before I needed to fly home. - Right away I appreciated the initiative Burke (my artist) had when I entered their shop. He went out of his way to take on my unknowns and worked with me to make what I wanted happen within the constraints. The previous shop I had tried (that took walk-ins) gave some excuse to me why they wouldn't do it. It was 2pm. - The shop itself is one of the most tenured in Austin, and is decorated to reflect that. I think they said they'd been there at least 27 years which is crazy to me coming in to get this done on my 24th birthday, meaning they've been tattooing longer than I've been alive. - The process that they used to draw was considerably more painful than previous shops I've been to, but I'd prefer someone using tools they're comfortable and familiar with rather than inexperience. - Only complaint I have is only taking cash, I had thought of that but used most of the cash i had on the previous artist from the day before. (They have an ATM inside, but does not accept tap.) - Overall the final result was exactly what I wanted given the constraints of the limited remaining real estate space on my arm. I was very impressed by how Burke developed creative ways to get me what I wanted while still keeping the overall design fluid. Definitely shows the 25 yrs of experience. Even if there's slight imperfections, that's what makes tattoos unique to you. It's not supposed to be copy/paste, as long as you're happy with it and it represents what you want it to, it's a job well done. I would definitely recommend their shop!

The tattoos I generally seek are quirky, one-off designs that are deeply personal, but not the full-sleeve or intricate Japanese work that a lot of shops specialize in. After looking at a lot of websites and reading a lot of reviews, I chose Mom's Tattoos and I'm glad I did. It's exactly the kind of place I like, with a relaxed vibe and incredibly friendly artists. I had a specific drawing I wanted replicated that looked deceptively simple but was in fact very challenging. I couldn't have asked for a better result than the tattoo I received by Roach. His artistry is top-level. On top of that, he's an incredibly nice guy. I wholeheartedly recommend him, and Mom's, for anyone looking for a welcoming, top-quality experience.

I came in with a basic fine line design i'd drawn (a "salt infinity" or an infinity symbol in dotted white ink), explained I was very familiar with white ink and wanted this tattoo in white ink and have for decades - they said absolutely not and gave me the same tired lecture I get whenever i want something inked in white: it will fade, it wont last, it will look like a scar. I have been thinking of this tattoo for as long as these guys have been alive. I know my skin and how it heals better than they do. I know what I want better than they do. It was very disappointing. As an artist myself, I understand an artist needs to enjoy their work and want their name on their work, but tattoos are mostly highly personal to the customer and you're doing a service for a customer - that's why tattooists get paid and don't pay the customer to ink their favorite designs on the customers body. Why is writing a name in black ink better than giving someone a super meaningful, deeply personal white ink design? I wasn't requesting a hate symbol, I wanted a reminder to trust myself - salt is known for purifying and protecting, infinity is eternal. Having a tattoo no one but me knows is there still serves its purpose for me. I'm still looking for someone who will work with me on this tattoo before I consider others. It was the first tattoo I ever wanted and I'm not doing any others until this one is done. The final insult: "come back when you really know what you want, we'll get it done".... Man I've wanted this since I was 9, I know EXACTLY what I want. Its been like 3 decades and hasn't changed. Other than that, the place had a cool vibe, was clean and the work looked well-done.

We popped in on a Thursday afternoon hoping they accepted walk ins and they did. We were so impressed by that as most tattoo shops where we love no longer accept walk ins. They are on 6th street right across the street from an Irish pub. What an incredible location! We worked with the shop owner to design a super cute simple hanging bat and we absolutely love it. The shop was clean and comfortable. They are getting ready to replace their tired furniture in their lobby. We really enjoyed chatting with the artist while he worked. I liked the piercing jewelry that was available for purchase too but felt like I should get my next ear piercing close to home. If we were in Austin more often I would have gotten an extra hole in my ear while there. Highly recommend this shop! Grab a pint across the street after your piercing or tattoo!

For the quality of the service, their prices are very reasonable and they have many many jewelry options and are happy to recommend other options that will work for you if they arent carrying something specific youre looking for. Unfortunately, I have had a negative expirience with one of the piercers. Pineapple, Jade, and Mercedes have all pierced me at different points. Around 3 years ago Mercedes pierced my verticle labret, and it turned out beautiful. Unfortunately I had to take it out because of a surgery after a few months, and once I recovered and wanted to get it repierced I went back. This time Travis pierced it, and I did not agree with his personality very much, as I felt he made some kind of targeted comments at my preferred jewelry and piercing placement, and he also was a little rude when we were having a conversation regarding the circumstances of my surgery. Since there was a scar showing the placement of my previous piercing, I trusted the results would be similiar, but after seeing the markings and thinking they looked good, the piercing happened and it felt a little off. Originally he tried to give me a piece of jewelry for the healing that was comically oversized, and when I said that I would like a smaller size, he acted as if it was a silly request. But truly, my lip was not going to swell to double its normal size because of a repiercing. I signed a form, got the smaller jewelry, and figured I would downsize when it was appropriate and hopefully I wouldnt feel like the placement was weird, but after the piercing had healed and I went to get it downsized, he revealed that no jewelry would fit the way I wanted because there werent any small enough piercings unless I had one custom made. I couldnt afford that so I just accepted it, until this year when I started disliking it so much I decided id rather not have the piercing than have the weirdly placed one, so I took it out. I know the difference might look kind of minimal, but it really drove me crazy to feel the piercing wiggling around so much, and not be able to afford jewelry I would like because it was not within standard sizes. For a while I blamed my anatomy, but a few weeks ago I realized maybe my lips arent weirdly shaped and my prefered placement should be possible, so I got it repierced elsewhere. Now that it is healed (or at least no longer swollen), I can confidently say that Travis messed up with the piercing placement, and acted quite unprofessionally in my opinion. I am comfortably wearing a size piercing that I think is third from the smallest standard size, and it fits exactly how I want. I will attach a photo with a comparison of the piercing i got from travis and my current piercing. (in the top pictures I am wearing a 16g, 1/4 inch piercing, and in the bottom pictures I am wearing a 16g, 3/8 inch piercing.) I cannot recommend the other piercers enough, and I hope to return here for many future jobs, but I would like to recognize this expirience in my review because it was an upsetting expirience that cost me time and money.
