Austin:
A Breath of Fresh Air Between Tattoos, Friends, and Great Food
Every now and then, my work as a tattoo artist takes me to Austin, and I have to admit—it’s one of my favorite places to visit. Not only do I have amazing clients there, but the city itself has an energy that always makes me want to come back.

18 Years of Tattooing: Art That Tells a Story
This year marks 18 years since I started tattooing, a journey filled with learning, evolution, and an ever-growing passion for skin art. From the beginning, I’ve specialized in realism, with a strong focus on pet portraits. Capturing emotions and memories in ink isn’t just my job—it’s an honor.
Austin always welcomes me with clients looking for more than just a tattoo. They seek pieces that carry deep meaning, designs that tell a story, and art that feels alive. That connection with people makes every visit to the city unique. Here, art is part of the culture, and that reflects in every session I do.

There are also plenty of family-friendly spots where you can just relax and take in the atmosphere.
