The University of Texas at Austin is home to 50,000+ students, many of whom are getting tattoos for the first time or adding to existing collections. Blindside Tattoo Studio is the go-to shop for UT students who want quality work from artists who actually know what they're doing — not a tourist-trap shop that rushes through walk-ins.
Our East 6th Street location is approximately 10 minutes from the UT campus via the 183 or MLK corridor. Our South 1st Street location is accessible via South Congress or Lamar. Both are a short rideshare from campus.
We offer student-friendly walk-in availability and a welcoming environment for first-timers. Our artists take the time to consult on design and placement — especially important for students who are making their first tattoo decisions.
Walk-ins welcome. Open 7 days. Hablamos español. Call (512) 442-8777.
