Tattoo Shops near Manchaca

“About a year ago, I started thinking about getting a new piece done on my arm/shoulder. It was born out of some medical challenges with my firstborn child. I first went to a local artist who had done a previous piece for me. After the consultation, it was clear the artist did not understand my vision. He gave me a design that I didn't love, and he wasn't willing to change the design to be more in line with what I wanted. I had all but given up on the idea of this tattoo when I found Betty at Rose & Crown. Betty listened to me and designed a tattoo that completely matched my vision. She did the tattoo in 2 sessions in July & August of 2025. Almost a year later, I absolutely love this piece! It's beautiful and thoughtfully designed. I highly recommend Rose & Crown. Lovely studio, friendly and bright with amazing and talented artists.“

“Sophia picked the perfect color and did an amazing job! She took her time and explained everything and she allowed me to take breaks when needed!
I’m in a wheelchair and she made it easy for me to transfer and was ready to jump in and help if needed! She was awesome!!“

“I can't recommend this shop enough! Every single one of my tattoos has been done here, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. Their fine line work is incredibly clean, precise, and heals beautifully. The artists take the time to make sure every detail is perfect, and you can tell they genuinely care about their craft.“

“This is a great tattoo shop with a friendly atmosphere . I made an appointment with Dan Crowe, he already had a design drawn up and got to work immediately planning the size, location, etc. It looks great, better than I could have imagined. I will be back and I would recommend the shop to anyone who asks.“

“Working with Charles and Laura was an absolute masterclass in creative collaboration. From our first conversation, they approached my ideas with genuine curiosity rather than ego, asking the right questions, offering thoughtful suggestions, and ultimately elevating the concept beyond what I'd originally envisioned.

What struck me most was the process. Charles and Laura treated this like a true partnership, checking in at every stage and making sure we were aligned before moving forward. No surprises, no rushed decisions. Just steady, professional execution.

Their demeanor made the whole experience easy. Relaxed, personable, and clearly passionate about the craft; the kind of energy that puts you at ease when you're committing to something permanent.

The result exceeded my expectations. I walked out genuinely proud of what we created together.
If you're looking for an artist who listens as well as he inks, this is the place. Highly recommend.“

The artists are incredibly talented and took the time to really understand the vision I had before putting a single needle to skin, which made the whole experience feel collaborative and personal. The studio is spotlessly clean and maintains the highest standards of hygiene throughout, giving you complete confidence from the moment you sit down. The finished piece went beyond anything I had imagined and has held up beautifully over time. If you are looking for a tattoo studio where artistry and professionalism go hand in hand, Black Dagger Tattoo is absolutely the place to go.“

“I got a tattoo here for the first time today, and Aaron did an amazing job, everything I asked for and more.

The studio is clean, decorated in a nice theme, and the staff are welcoming. It wasn't a cold/intimidating atmosphere like I've experienced with some previous tattoos elsewhere.

Very likely to come back again in the future.“

“Visited here recently on visit to Austin , I contacted the studio via email day before to see if a next day walk in was available , they relied to me virtually straight away , were extremely helpful and booked myself and my wife in for a 1pm appo8ntment .. so booking was helpful and seamless.

When we attended we showed them what we both wanted , just a small momentum of our visit to Texas , a design was created then a quote was given to us , this was a no obligation quote we didn't feel under pressure to go ahead , although we did

Both happy with the result , no issues with our visit .

Must add that I'm personally heavily tattooed and have alot of experience with studios across the world

This studio is hygienic, efficient , priced pretty much as everywhere else and doing a good job“
