In Short
Tucked away in the corner of a South Austin shopping center, Incredible Ink doesn't do much to draw in customers. This is just fine with the three artists who own and operate the shop. The artists pride themselves on doing completely custom work. A table near the entrance allows the would-be tattooed to discuss ideas with the artist who will often draw a design from scratch.

This was my first tattoo and I wanted to find an artist that I really felt comfortable with. After reading numerous reviews, I decided to contact Bart at Southside Tattoo. I really enjoyed talking to Bart and working with him on a cool cross design. The whole experience from design to skin was first class. Cool tattoo, very little discomfort, great ink, and great conversation. I would highly recommend Bart and Southside Tattoo.

I recently moved to Austin and began searching out a shop to get my next piece done at. I only have two and wanted the next one to be over the top. Southside came up over and over again when I'd stop nicely-inked folks around town and ask where they got their work. This is one of the first shops I've been into where EVERYone in their is cool. There's no on scowling at your non-sleeved out arms asking you where all your ink is. The guys in there are friendly, receptive and honest with their opinions about what will and will not work. Between myself, my wife and three friends, we've gotten five tattoos by three artists and all have turned out great. This is not some flash shop, so it would be best to stop in and talk to the guys. There is some flash and various artwork on the wall for inspiration but this places thrives on the custom jobs. Some of them may be booked months in advance due to demand for such masterful work, but there's likely someone on any given day that can take walk-ins. And it should go without saying, but the shop is clean. You will be leaving with a nice new tat, not scabies :) (And without detracting from any other artist, I've got to recommend the only one I've personally seen - Michael Norris - the rest of the folks in there are all highly talented, but he just HOOKED ME UP with the start to a great piece) EXCELLENT SHOP!

No question about it...Southside Tattoo is the hot-spot and i wont consider going anywhere else for my next tattoos.
