More Than A Tattoo Shop
Welcome to Little Pricks Tattoo. As a staple in the Austin tattoo community, we provide a home for local artists and clients with creative minds. Since our inception in 2012, we have exclusively focused on honing our craft with quality, cleanliness, and attention to care at the forefront of all of our tattoo and piercing services. We are dedicated to composing an experience as memorable as the tattoo itself. This is our heart and soul, and we aim for the best possible experience in designing art that reflects our clients and showcases our exclusive talent.
The Story Behind Little Pricks Tattoo
After years of working in various shops around Austin, a simple idea took hold: we could do better. We believed the tattoo industry deserved more. We had a vision for a studio that was built on a foundation of respect, not just for the art, but for the people who wear it.
We turned that vision into reality and started Little Pricks Tattoo in 2012 because we believed the tattoo industry deserved better. We combined our passion for tattooing with a desire for self-dependence, creating a studio that operates on our own terms: better customer service, a more welcoming atmosphere, and an understanding that art is ever evolving. Our studio reflects these ideas, and was built on the idea that getting a tattoo should be a great experience from start to finish. That means a space where cleanliness is non-negotiable, the quality of the art is paramount, and everyone who walks through our doors feels respected and at ease.
How We Approach Our Craft
We create tattoos meant to be carried and treasured throughout a lifetime. Our artists cover a broad spectrum of styles, from vibrant illustrative and classic traditional to black and grey realism and intricate geometric patterns. Our passion and specialty lies within collaborating with you to create a piece of art that truly reflects your unique idea. We take the time to personalize your care, and ensure every mark we leave on your body speaks to you.
When combined with our time-honored traditions, absolute commitment to safety and comfort, and our immense devotion to understanding every little detail, you can rest assured that your peace of mind comes first at Little Pricks.
