San Marcos has a thriving tattoo scene, but for collectors who want award-winning work from artists who compete at the national level, Blindside Tattoo Studio in Austin is the destination. Our South 1st Street location is approximately 45 minutes from San Marcos via I-35 — a quick trip for a piece you'll wear for life.
Texas State University students and San Marcos locals have been making the drive to Blindside for years. Our artists cover every major style — black and grey, color realism, Chicano art, fine line, neo-traditional, and custom work — so there's always an artist who specializes in exactly what you're looking for.
We've won 15+ awards at major Texas tattoo conventions. Our artists have decades of combined experience. And we treat every client — whether they drove 5 minutes or 45 — with the same level of care and attention.
Walk-ins welcome. Appointments available. Call (512) 442-8777.
