My daughter and I got Matching tats before she PCS'd to Germany! They were very responsive and provided great customer service

PERFECTION!!! Just breathe!

WOW!! Chase Otis is the MAN!!!!!!! WE are four sisters that are from out of town and wanted a bonded experience! We were worried with Covid and didn't just want another tattoo. We wanted an EXPERT artist that would come in and tell us what is best and leave with a lifetime of memories! We all got that in spades with Chase! We all came in with different ideas, options, and anxiety of where to put them. VERY different personalities and how we process experiences like this. Chase was patient, knowledgeable, creative and took ALL of our tattoos and ideas TO THEE NEXT LEVEL X 100%! We all had other tattoos but BY FAR - Chase's on ALL of us were our ALL time favorites and we even said we need to fly back to Austin when we want another tattoo! WOW so impressed and happy with our memories, moments and our body art for LIFE!!! Thanks Chase! P.S. Only downside of this shop is the other owner/artist as they do not acknowledge you when you walk in or sit down or wait to be said hi too.. It was very uncomfortable and did not make us feel welcome. We then just focused on Chase and he was accommodating and only reason we came back at all after that!

Always on point! I have received SO many compliments on the sleeve I'm starting: Chase did 100% of it. He's a cool dude. He's easy going with good temperament ALL the time, helpful, and a fantastic artist. What more could you want?! Don't waste time trying to figure out where to go: call them now and ask for Chase!

I love, love, love Chase Otis! He is my 4th tattoo artist and the best. My new tattoos are the highest quality. I've gotten compliments on his art every where I go. I look forward to my next tattoos with Dr. O.

I truly cannot rave enough about Chase's amazing work. He is incredible. Favorite artist of all time. He also has an incredibly light touch - found myself battling falling asleep during today's session. Chase is a true ARTIST. Before and after of the color correction he did on a 10+ year old bird of paradise below and a new script tattoo, too. Will never use anyone else!

They fit me in as a walk-in today with their guest tattoo artist Wyatt. I wanted a little ghost tattoo, and it turned out great! It's a really nice shop. Salina was super nice, and the vibes were very welcoming. Highly recommend. Will be back.

I got this nice piece "Do All Things With Love" done by Chase. Chase your awesome, this was my first tattoo and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Thanks for being professional and for doing great work! I recommend this business for clean sanitary tattooing work you may need

It is finally done & I freaking love it!! Mike made my vision better than I could ever imagine! I cannot go anywhere without at least one person stopping me to tell me how awesome it looks! If you are considering getting some ink, you MUST go to Freedom Machine Tattoo because it is the best shop in Central Texas. Mike and Salina are hands down the best people and they will make your vision a reality! Thank you Mike and Salina, you guys are amazing!

I had the best experience at Freedom Machine tattoo. Chase Otis was the guy who did my piece. And he was nothing short of amazing! His work was on point, he took my inspiration picture and made it so much better than I had ever dreamed! Chase listened to my input and came up with a beautiful design. By request, he did my entire half sleeve, 8.5 hours, in one sitting. He was friendly to sit with and chat, but he also didn't mind me reading my book when I wanted to. He is a great artist and he also very easy going! His talent more than speaks for itself as well!!

Mike is amazing! My tattoo came out better than I could have hoped. His work with colors is outstanding.

Cannot believe I have driven by this place so many times yet drove far away to get my last tattoo. They came highly recommended so glad I had Chase do my tattoo today. I brought photos to help with his creative ideas and color combinations. Another perk for me was he also lived in San Diego so we had a good chat while he worked. Really nice guy and did an amazing job. I absolutely love it, and friends I have shared it with, love it too. Gong to visit my son and his family for Christmas so this is a surprise for my 3 year old granddaughter as the saying is what her and I say to each other all the time. She loved my last tattoo so she will love this and I know my son will be moved by my continued love for my 2 grand babies. The place is clean, convenient and the guys are nice, creative and Chase offered great color ideas i did not think of. My only personal thing is they only accept cash which I did not notice and I hardly ever carry cash anymore. Thanks Chase! You are a sweetheart.

Done by Mingo

Been wanting a memorial Tattoo for my Pop for a while now, soo when I started researching artists in the area and shops with a great rep, I came across Freedom Machine. Saw Mingo's work and knew he'd be able to do what I wanted. Booked the appointment and couldn't be happier with the result! He's easy to work with and makes sure your comfortable. I'd recommend him to anyone!!

Mingos work came out great!
Carol B.

So I wanted to get a tattoo I've been planning to do it but a lot of places you have to make appointments and I just wanted to get it done like the same day I'm very spontaneous I had a certain expectation when I went in and Mingo definitely exceeded my expectation I will never go anywhere else to get my tattoos done he's so Amazing and talented!I have a couple of pieces but this is definitely my favorite I had a walk in and the price is very fair he's incredible with details !

She's right, I'm not a fan, but I love my wife, so in an attempt to show solidarity I went to atomic to get the silliest tattoo I could think of... the worlds smallest smiley face (looks like an acid tab... hindsight is 20/20 I suppose lol.) Staff was friendly and non judgmental of my silly reasoning for a tattoo... line work is good, coloring is good, and honestly seeing some of the artists work was truly impressive and if I wanted more tattoos they would certainly be near the top of my list. Thank yall for taking in a complete outsider and treating me like family even when I openly told you I'm not a fan of tattoos... literally everyone I talked to was super friendly and professional

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.

I had to purchase their only jewelry offereing, which was expensive - $45 - and I was fine to pay for high quality materials. When wanting to purchase, I was told to wait so the piercer could replace it. The piercer spoke only of who did it, why the metal was junk and why it was that length. I took his recommendation for replacement. He it was brusque and slightly disgusted. Upon checkout, I was charged a piercing fee as well as jewelry. Over 100 bucks when I just needed a replacement ball. Fast forward a few months - the expensive piece fell out and I wanted to replace it with the same high quality materials. I went against my instincts and went back to support local business and artists. I was "informed" that they would have to order it as they do not recommend that piercing at all. I was told of the dangers of migration and tearing - and again heard an opinion about another studio and how bad an idea that piercing is. My daughter was getting her navel pierced and she was chosing jewelry
