Ink Empire

Experiencia fantástica: clean and comfortable environment, mini mondays are so worth it just make sure you have extra time bc the wait time can be a few hours!

Experiencia fantástica: Was a quick and easy experience. I liked the environment and the artists are nice!

Experiencia fantástica: Me and my bff tried their Mini Mondays and loved it! Their pricing starts at $35 and can vary depending on placement. We texted our inspo pics in ahead of time to get them approved and they gave us a price range for what we were considering at that time too. We got in line around 11:45 and had about a 30 wait time before coming in to fill out paperwork, and then we waited to be called back for our tattoos. We will definitely be going back again!

Experiencia fantástica: So professional, friendly, & slim is the best especially at fine line tattooing

Experiencia fantástica: Genuinely love this place. I was so lucky that this was my first tattoo shop I’ve ever been to. I have 20+ tattoos done by tattoo artist VIKK. I’ve had no reason not to get a tattoo done here, all the artist are versatile. Great vibes and love the music. Here are a few that I’ve gotten done and to note communication between my artist is next level. He always listen and delivers, never fails. The best out there!!

Experiencia fantástica: Out of all the tattoo places in Austin, it was fate that led us to Ink Empire. Okay, it was discovering mini Mondays but that’s what got us hooked on only wanting to support Ink Empire. The vibe is great, everyone there is so warm, kind, talented, passionate, caring - yea I’m talking about a tattoo shop! They really care about the art they are helping us create on our bodies and the results show. We have only seen Alfredo as an artist because we are attached, but looking around - there’s no one I wouldn’t trust. In a sea of a city swimming in tattoo places, Ink Empire stands out for so many reasons. Recommend x a million.

Experiencia fantástica: Fast, welcoming very kind and my tat looked great

Experiencia fantástica: They had the best customer service and very friendly and welcoming people! Victor is the best at fine line tats. Very good pricing and willing to adjust as well!

Experiencia fantástica: Very welcoming and high quality work would definitely come again.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone in the shop was really cool and most importantly, the tattoos were 10000 out of 10. My fiancé and I both went in as walk-ins, not really knowing what we were getting ourselves into. We’re both SO glad we went to this place, as the tattoo work was exceptional and the service was everything you could hope for! If we return to Austin and want to get another spur of the moment tattoo, we know exactly where we’re going! Thank you Ink Empire!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Couldn't have had a better experience. Will absolutely be back

Signed up on their $30 Monday and 2 hours later i get a text, send my design, they redrew it, sat me down and with such a light hand and brilliant technique they finished my tattoo in under 20 minutes. This place is extremely clean and such a friendly environment.

Experiencia fantástica: Ink Empire was great and would recommend anyone to go there. All the guys were friendly, kind, and very talented. When we walked in they had a few people waiting and then more came in after us who had appointments. They were quick but nothing was rushed. Everyone was laughing and cracking jokes, it was a really fun time. 40 did both our ankle tattoos and we love them. The longhorn line work is so smooth and exactly what I wanted. 40 was really quick but so precise. My fiancés armadillo is perfect! 40 got all the details and he loves it. Big thanks to everyone there!

Experiencia fantástica: So grateful I stumbled upon this place during my visit to Austin. This shop was near my Airbnb, so I went a couple of times for a tattoo. Very professional artists, and the folks managing it are so kind and welcoming. They make you feel right at home. Really wonderful space and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get inked ◡̈

Experiencia fantástica: Great vibes, great artists. Supper efficient and friendly, the shop is clean and in a great location on the east side. Mini Mondays are a great time to come and get small designs for super reasonable prices (with options for larger sizes). Slim does amazing fine line work. Absolutely recommend this place, you won’t be disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: Best tattoo experience!!! Very friendly and welcoming

Experiencia negativa: Got two mini tattoos here and the artist pitted my tattoos :( He went way too deep and now they look horrible. They got infected as well. I have about 20 tattoos and these were unbearably painful simply because of the heavy handedness of the artist. He seemed annoyed he even had to be there. I had a pretty negative experience from beginning to end. The quote for times was outrageously different than quoted. I mean by hours. Other issues as well, but these are the main ones. Just overall would not recommend this tattoo shop. But I guess 35 dollar tattoos will be what you paid for. Sad they pride themselves on it tho.

Experiencia fantástica: Tracy was real coo tattoo came out super cute

Experiencia fantástica: service was quick and great. my tattoo came out so good. would come back again!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone here is so sweet and made the experience so fast and easy!!

Experiencia fantástica: Loved the energy and everyone was so welcoming!! They got me and my mom in super fast, definitely will be coming back!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best experience everyone was professional and the tattoos all came out beautiful. The owner and all the artist were friendly and made us feel very welcome. This place came highly recommended by a family member and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend checking it out!

Experiencia fantástica: Marcus is the best fine line artist!! I love my cross.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience VERY clean and friendly!
