The sweet angel and absolute professional Gill was honest, straightforward, informative and empathetic and told me my piercing was on my stomach not my navel, the jewlery was wrong in the rod length and size of the balls at the end, that the bottom of the jewelery was embedded in my skin since it migrated there due to all the mistakes the piercer at Platinum Ink made. The removal was quick and again met with so much empathy, not only information but explanation, and i just felt like i was saved from so much worse. Diablo Rojo definitely has all future business from me for any piercings going forward, they are professional and human and not just trying to churn out customers for quick cash unlike Platinum Ink.

The paperwork was appropriate in length -- not too long and not too short. Watching the aftercare video was an extraordinary part of the experience and I think all tattoo/piercing shops should follow suit. The piercing experience was super laid back: Travis was significantly comforting and continued to tell me I was doing a "perfect job" as he pierced me. The conversation was amicable and personable. He was the best fit for me and I would absolutely go back and request him again. Shaman Mods is a wonderful place to go for a clean, professional experience. These folks know how to do things and how to do things well. I can't recommend them enough!

He was very informative and even provided feedback on best looks for certain types of piercings / jewelry, given the locations. I was very happy with the feedback and even changed the piercing I had in mind while discussing. I'm very happy with my results! The piercing itself took less than 5 minutes. Jason got everything sterilized, had me confirm the location, and then we were done! It was barely a prick of heat by the time the piercing was in. I'll be back! Parking is available around the side and back of the building. The jewelry is very nice quality with assortments of hypoallergenic metals to choose from.

After a failed attempt at another walk-in space, my best friend and I ended up at All Saints on…read more6th. Parking was an absolute nightmare so I would recommend taking a rideshare to get to this location.    When someone talks about tattoo shops in Austin, All Saints is definitely one of those mentioned almost every time. The tattoo/piercing shop has wonderful reviews and a ton of happy patrons. The vibe in this space is very lowkey and homey. We were the first ones in for the day.   My best friend and I wanted to get complementary tattoos. We only wanted three words in Seagram each with my best friend getting hers in black and me getting mine in red. We were told it would cost extra for red ink. Fine.   After the woman working the front took the stencil print-outs to the artists, she came back and quoted us $200 each. What? We were shocked. I knew the tattoo wouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes and did not understand how my friend was quoted the same as me if "red is extra." Thus, I came to my own conclusion that pricing is completely random and up to the artist. I guess it's a game of luck?   That being said, Carlos did a wonderful job on my tattoo and Hannah did a great job on my friend's. Carlos and I had a lot to talk about as we were raised in the same city and he went to my highschool while I was also in attendance. Wild stuff!   Still, for what we got, I wouldn't have paid more than $150 + tip for this tattoo. There needs to be a length requirement or some rules and regulations for pricing (I know this is not easy). Just know you're getting very talented artists when you walk-in!   Bring your wallet!

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!

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!

Of course it went down the drain and what I was left with was the post stuck in my nose. Picture it, standing there trying to pick this post out of my nose. Now I'm in a panic because it's 9pm and Shaman Modifications is closed. I have to work the day until 8pm, and they will be closed then too. So I had to wait. But in the meantime, I have to find a spare ring because the nose will close fast. So here I am, with long nails I can't function in, and an apartment that's packed up as I'm moving in a 4 days. Where is my jewelry box, where do I have my spare nose rings just to get me through a couple days until I can make it in. Finally find one. One of those "L" shaped post types. The ones that look like you have something hanging in your nose. Dear Lord please keep me through this mess. I finally make it in during their business hours 12 to 8pm I was helped right away. Super polite lady helped me. Told her I was looking to buy a nose ring. Gave her my cost range and she showed me two sections. I chose the one that was flush to my nose, and it's a light pink color. A little 3 gem cluster. Really dainty and pretty, and cute. I just want to say how clean this place is. Everything sparkles, everything is sanitary. I mean even their pin pad where you have to initial their paperwork. That gets a fresh new plastic wrap. I mean, this place is cleaner than hospitals, I mean clean clean! After initialing their iPad, and giving my driver license, I was brought back to a small room and I laid down. She took the old nose ring out, I didn't even feel her touch me. And then she put the new one in, which again I didn't feel her even touch me. How does one take out and put in a ring in the nose and you don't feel a single feather touch? Completely stunned at how quick and touchless that was. I love my new nose ring. It's so stinking cute. Highly recommend coming here. Their jewelry is gorgeous, the studio is so clean and the service is respectful.
