Forged In Ink

My husband and I were scheduled with Robbie for our anniversary tattoos and to say we were happy with the work is an understatement.

Robbie did an amazing job with both of our pieces. He was very light handed and it was relatively painless. It healed quickly, not much itching or peeling.

I was ready to get back in the chair as soon as we were done for my next piece. I will be scheduling an another session with Robbie soon.

Russ is an outstanding and genuine passionate ARTIST who's light on the needle and very detailed and realistic with his work. I've gotten the 2 enclosed tattoos done by him which came out much better than I thought since my past tattoos weren't done so artistically. I've got a large one covering most of my back, 3 more on my right arm and one more on the inside of my left arm that shares with the two Russ put on me so again, Russ knows and does best comparing to my other 5 artists. His facility sneaks up on ya off the road but inside is very pristine clean and he's a clean freak in the nicest way. After getting to know him for 8 hours straight....twice....I can say he's gonna have integrity and OCD when it comes to everything in his life, not just his shop. My wife has gotten a tattoo from Russ, too, and will be getting another tomorrow. He is very well priced for his talent and his healing after care is the second skin clear wrap which is much better and more convenient than what most others use which is that serrand wrap and tape which isn't very effective, comes off too easily and just half @$$ really. I'll be using him in the future until he moves to Florida where his talent çan be recognized.

Russ is truly a talented artist! Last month I saw Russ for a tattoo on my shin. I was so pleased with the work that I booked an appointment to finish the sleeve that I started a few years back.
He took the time to create a few renderings and it was exactly what I wanted. I have a few more sessions scheduled and I encourage anyone who ever thought about getting a tattoo to come see Russ! His studio is immaculate and there’s always great music playing.

I couldn’t be happier with my tattoos!! I walked into a very immaculate and well organized shop. Russ is an extremely talented tattoo artist who knows his craft. My first tattoo which holds a very special meaning to me symbolized my family who aren’t with me anymore. The Angel “wings” that went to heaven and the angels who are still with us. Being able to talk to Russ and sharing my ideas and letting him choose my design for my roses and butterfly was the best. When you have faith in your artist’s work, I knew it would turn out beautiful. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in getting a tattoo, go see Forged In Ink!! You’ll be happy you made the choice!

Had a great experience! Russ custom designed my tattoo and I couldn’t be more pleased. He’s a genuine artist that truly cares about his work and it showed! I will be going back for my next work.

I had my first experience at Forged In Ink yesterday. Russ is awesome and my tattoo looks amazing! Cant wait to show it off. I contacted him on Instagram and he always responded in a timely manner. I went in for a consultation and we had a game plan. I even changed the game plan and he was completely cool about it. Russ has a very clean studio right outside of downtown Pflugerville. Really good vibes inside and I felt very welcomed and relaxed during my 8 hour tattoo session. He has a calming presence and we talked the entire 8 hours which is a nice distraction when you are sitting still for that long. Very light handed with the needle which I appreciated. I loved my experience and even scheduled my next appointment with him. Forged In Ink will definitely be a go to studio for me.

Wonderful experience! Russ is an outstanding artist! His place is very clean! Thanks Russ for my new art.

This is one of the cleanest tattoo shops I've ever been in! He is super nice and did a fantastic job on my husband! It turned out exactly how we imagined it! We will be going on very soon to schedule mine and another session to add to his tattoo!! Can't wait!

The shop was exceptionally clean and sanitized and the price was fair. The owner (Russ) made certain that we were comfortable and he clearly explained his method of safely sanitizing the room, chairs, bathroom etc.
Kris, kept us laughing while he professionally performed an excellent job on my friends tattoo, which was from her shoulder to her elbow. He regularly gave breaks when needed and was especially detailed and improvised with artistic modifications accordingly. Kris did a FANTASTIC job with a person who was a "first-timer", She was extremely pleased.
"Forged In Ink" is the only place that we will use for our future tattoos.
Great job you two 👏!
See you next month,
Toni B

They did a fantastic job designing my first tattoo! I was so nervous and they put me at ease and made the whole process a lot of fun. The shop was very clean and they were very professional. I highly recommend coming here for a high quality and unique tattoo!
