Lifesavers. ..Or should I say nosering savers. I was in town for a conference and my nose ring came out suddenly and I couldn't get it back in !!! I panicked and rushed to them .They were super professional and helpful. Read Less

So I walked away from this shop very annoyed... now let me Tarantino this for you. First mistake, we said we were from out of town... now mind you I dress like a yuppie but I'm covered from neck to feet, and my left hand is covered by a freehand Haida tribal but they can't see that. All I wanted was a simple phrase in Hebrew on my right wrist as an Austin souvenir which I brought in. There was a quiet gentlemen who observed. The artist came over and proceeded to lecture me how a tattoo's size actually works and how it ages in different parts of the body as if I'm 14 in NV on March break. That was first sign of trouble, there were more to come, stay tuned. My oldest tattoo probably predates when this young guy could legally step into the back of a shop but being half Asiatic I look a lot younger, I digress... Well, again being young looking and not having all my tattoos visible I gave this guy a pass. Price wasn't a concern so I asked what the hourly would be on this (knowing full well that this would take less than 45 minutes *with* set up.) But here is where the real trouble began... he proceeded to ask the quiet gentleman "oh what do you think? Two hours?" Oh, the quiet gentleman didn't answer. By now I am visibly annoyed and called the artist out on it and said "really? I'm pretty sure it doesn't take that long" and my sweet BYU looking wife whose tattoos are all covered also rolled her eyes. Which the artist's reply was "...but well this would be *the MOST* technical stuff on your wrist." Have you ever been on an elevator with just another person who farted, but looked at you in the eyes and said "you did it!" Well this was like that. Walked away promptly after getting my design back. Since my first tattoo while on a trip in Hong Kong, never had an artist stare me in the face and try to give me the swindle. Thought people like this only worked in the tourism industry selling generic Chinese-Made souvenirs for €20 more than they ought to be, but here an tattooist tried this. I don't doubt they have done great ink and have talented artists seeing some of the photos, (or maybe they don't since that simple wrist band was gonna be "the most technical" on my wrist.) I resent someone seeing potential victims of a tourist scam and attempt to do just that. Is Austin not a very tattooed city or this guy has done this to some tourists before so he thinks he can get an extra $200 out of some dumb young outta-staters? Money isn't an issue, I probably spent enough over the years to buy a 2017 Jeep Renegade, but I don't pay to be swindled so don't disrespect a customer that way. That was why this experience gave me a nasty taste of this shop. So, good luck! But for those of you from out of town, beware of people who can't give you a simple answer when asked "what's your hourly?" And as a frequent attendee of tattoo conventions, no matter how great an artist is, always another one just as good. Tattoos are a commodity, shop around and find an honest place you can trust.

My best friend and I went here for a couple of small tattoos and were so happy with our experience from start to finish! Ben and Jonny took the time to make sure it was going to be perfect! I would highly recommend this place for all your tattoo needs! Very clean and they really care! Read Less

A.J. Has an awesome vibe and does fantastic work! I am 100% happy. I hope to get more done by him in the future! If you want an epic piece and a mind opening yet comfortable tattoo experience hit up this shop❣️ 👍🏾💯👌🏾💋❤️ Read Less

I went to blindside tattoo yesterday to get a fairly large tattoo on my arm. First impression of the establishment was very clean, friendly staff and comfortable environment. I was introduced to AJ and he worked with me to design the perfect piece. AJ free handed what I wanted and that's when I knew that this guy knows his craft. AJ was clean, professional and just overall a highly skilled nice guy. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a custom tattoo or any tattoo for that matter, to go to Blindside, I promise you, you will not regret it. Read Less

They wrote the wrong letters. Epic tattoo fail. Read for details. First of all, it is partly my fault. So I will claim a fraction of this error, but in truth, I was overly trusting of the tattoo artist here. I had asked for the Roman Numerals of my birth year. MCMLXXXI (1981). He wrote the digits down correctly, I double-checked. All good. Then he created a font by hand. I liked the font he came up with, and the spacing, etc. My error here was not double-checking the accuracy of the Roman Numerals again at this stage, instead, I was just focused on the design. I didn't notice the error until an hour later, when I stood up and looked in the mirror to find he had tattooed MCMXXXI (1931) across my ribcage in a 9-inch tat. Yes, again, I should have triple-checked. But I didn't. And more importantly, neither did the professional tattoo artist. Now, I'll have to have two letters removed by laser treatments over the course of 6-12 months, with a cost of roughly $1000 (according to google), then have the correct letters put in. A $150 tattoo that should have taken an hour will now take a year at 10 times the cost. I've waited a few weeks to post this review in an effort to cool down about it. I've obviously been furious and embarrassed. To their credit, they were always polite and concerned about the error; the artist felt terrible about it. They offered to cover it with a giant tattoo creation, free of charge, but that option wasn't realistic for me (a 1.5x9 inch tattoo would have to morph into something epic to cover it all, and that's not what I wanted; plus I was only visiting Austin for a few days). They never offered a refund, though, which I feel was the least they could have done. C'est la vie. The point is, I believe these guys are better than this blunder, but it is what it is... If I were to go back to Austin for another tat, I can't say I'd go back here. Obviously. Do your thing, but, without a doubt, check every detail of the work you're getting done. Especially the final design. Wherever you go, really, but especially here. Let this just be a lesson to all of us all that you can't trust the artists not to make mistakes. Be anal about it. Triple check. Use a microscope if you have to. Getting it fixed is a serious b*tch... Read Less

Stopped by another shop before coming here. Glad the impression of that shop deflected us out to find Blindspot. Clean, knowledgeable, professional, comfortable and a talented crew. Thank you Mr Powers for solid father/daughter tats ! We're both very pleased. Read Less

My husband and I got our 1st tattoo here in the beginnings of April! We had to bring our toddlers with us since it was a last minute go on a whim sort of thing. I cannot express how thankful I am to the people who worked there for their patience. They put on kids movies and conversed with my 5 year old. Great customer service! And a wonderful job well done by Jon! We love our tattoos! Read Less

Had my septum pierced 9 days ago while I was in Austin visiting. I absolutely love it! Another piercer told me in DC that I didn't have a "sweet spot." I'm glad I got a second opinion. Everything was clean, the piercing wasn't painful at all, and the staff was awesome. Now I have a souvenir of my trip to Austin and it's perfect! Read Less

Absolutely love Weaver he's the best! He inked bows on my calf muscles 8 years ago and he was so freakin awesome! That same night he also tattooed a large dragon on my hubby's back.. we have not been able to find another tattoo artist that can even compare! Looking forward to making a visit to Weaver for my next tattoo! Read Less
