I had my first tattoo done last weekend by him and I could not have asked for a better experience.  His work that is shown on his website and Instagram speaks for itself from the start, so I knew that he would be the perfect tattoo artist for a memorial tattoo of my first cat, Onyx. Onyx was a beautiful black cat with emerald green eyes, so it was really cool when Jose pointed out that my tattoo session just happened to fall on Friday the 13th!&#010;My breath was taken away when Jose showed me what he had designed the morning of our session. It was stunning, and he made it translate perfectly into body art. Jose was so patient and kind, and really took time to just chat and get comfortable before getting started, and the entire 8.5 hours that followed were very relaxed and even fun! Jose will have as much conversation with you as you would like, or let you just zone out or relax as much as possible with whatever you have brought to keep your mind occupied during your tattoo session. My favorite thing about Jose was his simple authenticity and the way he really made the day go by so nicely while creating something so perfect for me. He was also great about checking in the next day or two to make sure there were no reactions and that healing was off to a good start.&#010;Esthetically, his studio is very inviting, modern, and has a beautiful open vibe with great lighting. He also keeps it really well stocked with snacks and beverages for you if you have not brought your own. When I was wandering for a minute to find the correct suite, he kindly popped out to get me.  The location is great in downtown Austin, but out of the main hustle &amp; bustle and by a long street with free parking.&#010;I also want to give a shout-out to Jose's assistant, Ronald, who handled all of the communication up to tattoo day. Ronald was always quick to respond and was very kind and efficient with answering any questions prior to my session with Jose.&#010;In short- Jose Contreras is an extremely talented realism tattoo artist who can be counted on without a doubt to get things perfect for you, from concept to design to execution of your tattoo. Austin is incredibly lucky to have him based here! I will forever be grateful for his kindness and skill, and for how perfectly he brought Onyx's soul through in my tattoo.<!-- R-CONTENT --><\/div> <span class=\"ti-read-more\" data-container=\".ti-review-content\" data-collapse-text=\"Hide\" data-open-text=\"Read more\"><\/span> <\/div> <\/div>  <div data-empty=\"0\" data-time=\"1773100800\" class=\"ti-review-item source-Google ti-image-layout-thumbnail\" data-id=\"cfcd208495d565ef66e7dff9f98764da\" data-language=\"\"> <div class=\"ti-inner\"> <div class=\"ti-review-header\"> <div class=\"ti-platform-icon ti-with-tooltip\"> <span class=\"ti-tooltip\">Posted on Google<\/span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/icon.svg\" alt=\"Google\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-img\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocIKB0g3FT9yQsrhALSoCYE03GURK8Ey87l1IhKkHcBuNWEQAg=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-ba12-br100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocIKB0g3FT9yQsrhALSoCYE03GURK8Ey87l1IhKkHcBuNWEQAg=w80-h80-c-rp-mo-ba12-br100 2x\" alt=\"Roxana Stefanacudis profile picture\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-details\"> <div class=\"ti-name\"> Roxana Stefanacudis <\/div> <div class=\"ti-date\"><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <span class=\"ti-stars\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 1\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 2\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 3\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 4\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 5\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><span class=\"ti-verified-review ti-verified-platform\"><span class=\"ti-verified-tooltip\">Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <div class=\"ti-review-text-container ti-review-content\"><!-- R-CONTENT -->Incredible talent and attention to detail!
