Pool Silva, based at our South 1st Street location, is one of Austin's most sought-after color realism and neo-traditional artists. Her work is known for its rich saturation, precise linework, and floral compositions that feel alive on the skin. Follow her at @tattoopoolink to see her latest work.
Bang Ink, our rotating guest artist, brings a bold color aesthetic that earned her a spot on Ink Master Season 9. Her work spans color realism, illustrative, and large-scale color pieces that push the boundaries of what's possible in tattooing.
Color tattoos require more sessions and more aftercare than black and grey work — but the results are stunning. Our artists use premium inks and proven techniques to ensure your color tattoo stays vibrant for years. We'll walk you through the entire process from design to aftercare.
