About Kyle

Built on Respect. Driven by Craft

Kyle has built Little Pricks Tattoo around a simple philosophy: treat clients with respect, maintain a clean and comfortable environment, and deliver tattoos that hold up over time.

His journey into tattooing began in 2007 through a formal apprenticeship that laid the groundwork for the standards he upholds today. After working in multiple shops throughout Austin, he and his wife, Tita Jewels, opened Little Pricks Tattoo in 2012 to create something better; a studio where professionalism, artistry, and experience matter equally.

As both owner and artist, Kyle is hands-on. He has shaped the studio into a place where clients feel comfortable from the moment they walk in.

Traditional Roots. Expanding Vision.

Kyle has always respected the timeless strength of traditional tattooing and geometric design. Clean lines. Strong composition. Solid color. Balanced flow. But he doesn’t stay anchored to one lane. He is constantly refreshing and expanding his portfolio to bring new creative possibilities to his clients. His recent work explores:

  • Fantasy and medieval themes
  • Video game imagery
  • Anime-inspired compositions
  • Evolving geometric structures

Collaboration Comes First.

Kyle enjoys working closely with clients to refine ideas until they feel right. Whether someone arrives with a fully developed concept or just a spark of inspiration, he takes the time to shape it into something meaningful and wearable.

First tattoo or full sleeve, the approach stays the same: Listen. Refine. Execute with precision.
