I love this place. First time I went with a group of Deaf friends and they were so inclusive. I got my first two tattoos from Julio and he has a gentle touch which was perfect for a tat virgin. I got my third with Slim. His work is beautiful. I definitely will go back! Oh My husband also got his first there.

Went to Aaron to get a custom floral piece and he did amazing with the few references I sent. It came out exactly how I imagined it to and he made it a very comfortable experience. Will definitely be coming back for more .

I was a little intimidated getting tattooed being a middle-aged, solo, out-of-towner. But the guys at Ink Empire were the most welcoming people ever. They were so kind and hospitable. I felt so comfortable with them and had so much fun being there. My visit at Ink Empire was definitely the highlight of my trip. And the talent in that shop is absolutely unmatched!! My tattoo is beautiful! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a tattoo. You will not regret it!

I went to Ink Empire on a whim a few weeks ago and it was great! I don't remember the names of the people I spoke to, but they were wonderful.
The guy at the front desk was super friendly, helped me choose the specific tattoo and placement I wanted when I was deciding between a few.
The artist was awesome, and made some tweaks to my reference photo to help it translate better to skin. I'm so happy with how it turned out, I'll definitely be going back for my next tattoo.

Genuinely love this shop. Iโve gone the past two Mondayโs and had the best time. The energy is always great in there and Slim who did both of mine has done amazing on each ones. His line work is one of the cleanest I have. For sure found my new place to go in Austin

Absolutely love Ink Empire and will never go to any other tattoo parlor, now that Iโve found them. Theyโre such an awesome team and they really love what they do. The owner is so cool, helpful, kind, and fun to talk to, plus sheโs always rockinโ different hair colors. Sheโs very down to earth and accepting of all, as the whole team is. They make the atmosphere of Ink Empire unique and a great place to get your tattoos, whether itโs your first or your 50th. All the artists are easy going, helpful, and talented. Their work spaces are all clean, disinfected between each person, and they use new needles with each new client. Theyre very reassuring, answer all questions, and make you feel comfortable. They also provide great after care instructions so you know how to care for your new tattoo and I ALWAYS leave feeling satisfied and excited with my new ink. Theyโre also very organized on Mini Mondays as itโs usually very busy and crowded, and are accommodating of everyone. They handle the stress well and are incredibly professional with everyone who comes in. I always look forward to going back to them and i couldnโt recommend this place more. I tell all my friends about them if theyโre ever looking for a place to get new tattoos and show them their socials. Thanks Ink Empire!! Yโall are amazing ๐ค

First time in Texas! We had 8 in our group, 2 who were tattoo virgins! These guys were quick but didnโt rush, weโre so personable, we had a great time in the shop and everyone was super pleased with their tattoos!! D at the front desk and Tracy the owner made us feel right at home! If we ever make it back to Austin, weโll be back!!!

Visiting Austin for a week and decided to get a tattoo, looked around and found this place and very happy I did. Brought in a picture of what I wanted and got exactly what I asked for, couldnโt be more happy with my experience.
