Pool Silva is Blindside's neo-traditional specialist — her work is characterized by bold black outlines, rich saturated color, and compositions that feel simultaneously classic and contemporary. Her floral pieces, animal portraits, and decorative designs have earned her a devoted following in Austin and beyond.

Neo-traditional tattooing is one of the most versatile styles — it works beautifully for florals, animals, portraits, and abstract designs alike. The bold linework ensures the tattoo holds up over time, while the rich color and shading create depth and visual interest that flat traditional work can't match.

If you're looking for a neo-traditional tattoo in Austin, Pool Silva at our South 1st Street location is your artist. Her portfolio spans everything from delicate floral sleeves to bold animal pieces to custom neo-traditional designs built around your specific vision.
