Born in
Austin
Blindside Tattoo was founded in 2005 by Mr. Siego — a tattoo artist, entrepreneur, and Austin native who believed that a tattoo shop could be more than just a shop. It could be a cultural institution.
Starting from a single chair on South 1st Street, Blindside grew into a two-location empire — and then expanded beyond tattooing entirely, adding the Blindside Lounge and Blindside Boxing Academy to the family.
The name says it all. We hit you with quality you didn't see coming.
