SHIT OF A JOB DO NOT GO !!!!!
I went on yelp to look for a place to get my friend and i matching tattoos. I saw Blindside tattoos with really good ratings. I decided to call and go in thinking what i wanted to get would come out amazng. . . I did exactly what i was told to do,i bought their raps, i even looked online on what to do so my tattoo could heal perfectly. When it came down for my tattoo to peal. . . It looked like a 3 year old colored on my foot. There are multiple places where the ink should of been where its not. I kept calling to get my money back. The person on the phone was short, NOT helping me at all on what i wanted. Not taking in to consideration that it is on my foot not theirs so i demand my money back. They would not give me their boss's name or anything then they decided to be rude to someone who is concerned they are going to live with a fucked up tattoo that they said they could do but didn't. The person who did my tattoo: Redd, got up from my tattoo which was still in the middle of doing to talk to his friends and see an object which had nothing to do with my tattoo. Kept looking at the time like he had somewhere to go. I advise everyone to look somewhere else. You will regret coming here. It was a disappointment and a waste of time and money that i will not get back due to their mess ups.
Last week I had a fever. Â A fever that would not subside until I got some *more* ink. Â Yes, call me crazy, but I had a week of getting THREE tattoos done in less than 7 days. Â No, it was not a mission or a bucket list thing to do, I just wanted some quality good artwork on my body. Â
I walked in, on a Friday afternoon, to find Blindside artist, Redd, available to cure me of this fever of wanting/needing more ink on my body. Â He was very helpful in that he talked with me about my idea of getting a really colorful and bright calavera (sugar skull) on my tricep. He drew up what he thought would look best, I allowed him to pick the colors, and within an hour I was laying down and getting the work done.
Redd is very professional, clean, and honest. Â He will not do any work on you if he thinks it will not look good, suite you, and/or the design is not up to his standards. He is very nice about making suggestions and is open with his communication as you get your work done. Â
The shop, overall, is clean and cold. Any shop that is hot or uncomfortable I urge you to leave it now and head to Blindside Tattoo. Â Also, they are recognized as BBB (Better Business Bureau).
Hands down one of the most artistic and professional tattoo shops in Austin. After several tattoos at other businesses, this shop obviously takes their jobs and their artwork very seriously. The work coming out of here is top notch and extremely well done. If cleanliness is your concern, don't be concerned... this has been their #1 priority in my experience. As for price, you get what you pay for and although it's not the cheapest place in town, you are guaranteed to have a legit and 100% original piece of art on your body forever. These guys are artists and know the business better than anyone in Austin.
Review Source:My son had his first tattoo done by Mr.Siego, it is some of the best grey work I've seen. My son took me there to get my first tattoo for my 50th birthday. I was impressed by the cleanliness and style in the shop. My artist is no longer there but I would still recommend this shop for the quality and craftsmanship of all the other artists. The only thing I could suggest they improve on is the "friendliness" towards the clients, they are definitely all business. I constantly recommend this shop to anyone who asks if I know a good shop in town.
Review Source:The artists at Blindside are top notch. I visited alot of studios when I was looking to get my first tattoo done. It was a big piece and I had done a lot of research and really wanted the best there was. I was impressed by a lot of tattoo studios that i visited that friends recommended and that had won reader's polls, but what really impressed me was that Siego, the artist that I had sought out at blindside, told me that the tattoo that I wanted was not the tattoo that i wanted. I was taken aback a bit by this. "Come back in a week and I will show you what you want", he said. So I did. He had modified my design and wanted to put it on another part of the body, my full forearm, and not my bicep and shoulder like I thought i had wanted. Man was he right. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to get in the chair that instant. He had another artist, Alfonso do the actual work, because Alfonso was best at black work and Siego was best at gray work. I liked this too. Kind of a team effort, and it gave me even more trust and ease knowing I was getting the best work possible. I went back for another tattoo a year later, the second one was designed by SIego but inked by Wisdom. I'm very happy with both tattoo's and how I was treated by everybody at the shop. Each artist's space has a flat screen and playstation and you can pick a movie from their vast DVD collection to watch while you're in the chair, or they have football games on too.
