    Medicine wheel and eagle feathers done by Jerrid Rodriguez (he's not responsible for that nick behind my ear though)
    Ariel D.

    After seeing my roommate and boyfriend get work from Jerrid Rodriguez (@jrodtattoos on insta), I decided he was a good choice for my head tattoo. Honestly all the work that I see coming out of that shop is stellar, and everyone is really friendly. The decor is super kitschy macabre, amazing art on the walls and tucked behind glass doors. Jerrid got my tattoo drawn up in about half an hour, and we spent less than three getting it finished. It looks amazing and I get a lot of compliments, especially from older ladies who look like they've never seen a tattoo machine haha. I recommend this shop, and especially this artist, to everyone that asks me. B&G, color, portraits, or anything you like - there is no shortage of talent at this shop.

    I found dovetail tattoo by google searching top tattoo shops in Austin. I looked through each artist and their work and I found Catherine's page. I was looking for someone who could do a realistic looking sunflower. On her page I notice she had other floral pieces she had done for people and instantly contacted her! She was very quick to respond, reallllly worked with me and my timing issues to set up a consult so I could show her what I was wanting. When it came down to the appointment she was patient and understanding of what I wanted and where I wanted it. She listens to what you want and is super easy going! This was only my second tattoo In about ten years so I was pretty nervous but she is gentle and takes some breaks in between outlining and coloring when tattooing. She made it super easy to sit through and was great with time! I highly recommend Catherine at dovetail!!!

    3 black and grey roses. White ink will be added on my next session, too.

    I went here for my first tattoo, and it turned out better than I imagined. My artist was El Sando. I went in for a consultation, and was given advice for the placement and arrangement of my tattoo idea. I took Sando's advice and I sure am glad I did. I put down my $120 deposit and booked my appointment. 3 sessions later, my tattoo is beautiful and better than I expected. Sando executed my idea perfectly and I am SO happy with my back piece. I have one more session to go to tighten things up. After this experience, it's easily understandable why people get addicted to being tattooed.

    By JERRID. Bottom is 1yr and back 7mo. Raptor is fresh. Raptor is now 3yrs, portraits almost 4. Color and linework still look perfect.

    Info: My work has all been done by Jerrid Rodriquez (insta: @jrodtattoos). The Breakdown: - Parking is p. much street or paid lot only. I've never NOT found a close spot though. With Austin's adoption of the ParkX app, it's easy to re-up your spot while still in the chair instead of walking back down to your car. - The decor is fantastic. I love Wendy's style! It's charming af! - Super duper frikkin clean every time (most important part!). This place is spotless! No dusty knick knacks or cobweb corners. Clean clean clean! - Great music, super comfy tattooing chairs, and oh my god the toilet paper... - Ok, let's give the tp it's own bullet point. It's fantastic. It's REAL. My nightmare is bulk tp. It's always weirdly skinny, and it feels like you're playing chicken with your butt and fingers because it's, like, tissue paper thin. Well Dovetail has the REAL DEAL. It's important to me. - Jerrid is a master artist. He's done two portraits one realism and one neo-traditional piece for me. He's hella friendly, and loves tattooing. He's always energetic no matter what my idea. My most recent piece I had him take direction for the whole design based on just a couple requests and he picked fantastic colors and design. The Bottom Line: I adore Dovetail. I follow them on Instagram, and every piece they post by every artist is lovely. Wendy has managed to create a well-respected business comprised of highly skilled and creative artists. They host guest artists regularly as well. I cannot recommend Dovetail and Jerrid highly enough!

Cute classic house transformed into this stunning tattoo and piercing parlor. I'll be going back for sure soon.

I went in for a piercing for Friday the 13th (large crowd) but they had a smooth system in place! I put my name on the list, the guy told me it would be about 3-4 hours but they would call me. I went home, finished my tasks for the day, then headed back to the studio. Waited about 30 minutes then I actually received a phone call! Walked in, picked out my piercing and the piercer was ready for me. The piercer was so nice and patient (i'm picky and wanted my navel piercing in a certain position). it did not hurt at all, I told her it was actually an anticlimactic finish haha! I will definitely be back here for my next piercing and tattoo. Everyone was very welcoming and happy to be spending Friday the 13th servicing others.

    Hands down the BEST place I have come across!! Pool is one of the best at watercolor tattoo's! You…read morewon't be disappointed going here.

    DO NOT GET A PIERCING HERE! More than happy to provide more detailed information about my purchase…read moreof the jewelry in store , the insertion of the jewelry, and the and the date of this interaction to prevent this from being taken down so I can help others. I came in to get a new fitted nose ring about a month ago I only needed a new fitted ring. I've had the piercing itself for 10 years now & I've never had an issue with changing jewelry and I've had it at a 18 gauge the full time. The piercer said he grabbed the right size jewelry after sizing . Showed it to me.. I said it looked kinda thick and he said it was standard size. I thought that was weird but trusted him since I told him the gauge size to begin with. Then I asked for help getting old nose ring out and this one in. He proceeded to gauge my nose with out my knowledge and when I pulled back and said "OWCH" he said it just needed lube because it wasn't going in and continue to force it in and was extremely aggressive about it and acted like I was stupid or didn't know what I was talking about when I voiced I've never felt pain like that changing a piercing. My nose bled and was so swollen the next day that I had to go to a different shop to get it taken out because I couldn't even sleep on that side of my face it hurt so bad. The next shop I saw said that he gauged my nose ring to a 16 and ripped it a little from gauging it so roughly.
