Inkery Tattoo Review, Prices, Services, Images

Ella did my tattoo and I’m extremely distraught over it. At first I thought perhaps it was the ink staining my skin from the second skin but nope! It’s just good-old blowout. Lines are inconsistent and you can see blown out patches, shaky lines and god knows what else (update: I have scars from how deep she tattooed me- no surprise considering the blowout) I should have ran the second my arm wasn’t shaved before the tattoo. I feel disgusting that I have a botched tattoo that I have to spend thousands to get removed. If I could take back getting this work done I would. I hate the rest of my sleeve and the skin I’m in now just because of how awful this turned out. Design-wise sure, Ella might have a vision… tattoo-wise, run far far away unless you want to spend thousands on a coverup or laser removal and still possibly have scars.

-update-
While I thought I did appreciate Ella reaching out to me, all she did was avoid taking accountability… she said and I quote “after all i am a person who has their good and bad days, as much perfection as i would love to produce it just won’t always be like that” all I said to this was “And to address your remark… I’m afraid [not getting] blowout is the very least an experienced tattoo artist can guarantee… if it was just shaky linework I wouldn’t be as upset but it’s not just that, it’s that and the blowout.” I followed up with an email stating I had a tattoo removal session for a couple hundred dollars (attached the appt & everything) and would like for her to rectify the situation by sending me the $ for just that *single* appt to hopefully fix the blowout. She was out of the country on a trip but after she came back she told me she sent me the money for the blowout & then never did for 2 weeks. I emailed her twice after that saying I never received anything and included my Venmo in the emails. Ella proceeded to ignore me while posting on social media during those 2 weeks and then only responded to my emails after I contacted customer service, saying that she would now only send the tip back instead of the $377 for my appt to hopefully clear the blowout she did on me. All I wanted was accountability and communication & even to the very end she blamed her lack of communication on her processing a breakup (which she didn’t have the curtesy to even tell me if that was her reason that was holding her up from sending me my money- tho ofc she selectively only mentioned that she wasn’t ignoring me while out of the country and not the fact that she ignored me for the 2 wks while she was in the country). Also the cherry on top was her sending me a photo of the liability form essentially saying she isnt responsible for the blowout, scarring or shaky lines bc liability form means no accountability for her lack-there-of quality of work- also was extremely convenient that she “lost” my venmo but could find the liability paperwork to take a photo of within the same hour of denying my venmo request.

Be careful who y’all get tattooed by, stay safe out there. Lastly, if you blame having a bad day on producing this quality of a tattoo (and your communication skills) then consider not being in this profession as you can’t really have a bad day considering you’re dealing with putting permanent ink on a human-being.

Here’s to the next 3-4 years of my life and thousands of dollars in tattoo removal bc I never want to see this on me and be reminded of how horribly i was treated after the fact.

Also, please stop removing my review. People need to be warned of the risk of getting work done by Ella for their own mental well-being.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Inkery Tattoo in Austin, Texas, where I had the incredible opportunity to work with talented artist Ella. I can not express enough gratitude for the exceptional job she did in saving my arm sleeve.

From the moment I walked into the studio, I felt welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. The atmosphere at Inkery Tattoo is clean, comfortable, and exudes creativity, making it the perfect place to get inked. The entire team, including Ella, demonstrated a high level of expertise and passion for their craft.

When I initially approached Ella with my concerns about my existing arm sleeve, she listened attentively and reassured me that she could help salvage it. Her extensive knowledge of tattooing and her keen eye for detail immediately put me at ease. She took the time to carefully analyze the existing design, colors, and lines, considering the overall aesthetics and my personal preferences.

Throughout the process, Ella displayed exceptional skill, precision, and creativity. She expertly blended new elements into my sleeve, seamlessly incorporating them with the existing artwork. Her talent for color matching was remarkable, as the new additions seamlessly blended with the original work, giving my arm sleeve a cohesive and harmonious appearance.

Ella’s artistic ability and attention to detail truly set her apart. She meticulously worked to enhance the intricate details of my sleeve, meticulously shading and highlighting to breathe new life into the piece. Her commitment to perfection was evident in every stroke of the needle.

Moreover, Ella’s professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable. She actively engaged in conversation, creating a relaxed and comfortable environment. She patiently answered my questions, offering valuable insights and suggestions to ensure the final result exceeded my expectations.

I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of my arm sleeve thanks to Ella’s incredible talent and dedication. She not only saved my tattoo but transformed it into a true work of art. I have received countless compliments and have recommended Ella and Inkery Tattoo to everyone who has admired my sleeve.

If you’re in Austin, Texas, and looking for a skilled and talented tattoo artist, I wholeheartedly recommend Ella at Inkery Tattoo. (By appointment only of course) Her artistic prowess, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor make her an exceptional choice for your tattooing needs. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

This whole place is wonderful, and Scott is incredible. He did my SILs tattoos and I was blown away. I’m even more impressed with the work he’s done on me. He’s a great guy and his talent with a tattoo gun is incomparable.

Got a tattoo done by Jordan. Overall great experience with them as well as the whole group at Inkery. Jordan took my concept and suggestions but added touches I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of, and was very helpful through the whole process. The space was clean and Jordan gave me great tips about the aftercare of my tattoo.

Even though I didn’t work directly with any of the other artists they all seemed welcoming and very positive about the tattoo I was getting done. The ‘vibe’ was just great, calming, and positive all around. Would definitely consider Jordan or any of the other artists I encountered for a tattoo in the future.

Scott is the man when it comes to the best tattoos in Texas! He has done two sleeves on my arm and leg and another smaller tattoo on my chest and all of them are by far my favorite pieces! I get asked literally daily who does my tattoos because his work stands out that well. His shop isn’t your normal tattoo parlor, in fact it’s a converted apartment in an old complex that is full of businesses and it’s a very personal one on one experience every time. The walls aren’t full of crappy tattoo art and there aren’t people walking in and out. It’s a very relaxing environment and everything he does including the equipment he uses are different than anyone else I’ve seen. The machine is quiet and he uses African Shea butter instead of Vaseline so the healing process starts immediately. He layers the art on in a way unlike anyone I’ve seen and the end piece is one that looks like a painting on your skin. Scott is as professional as they come and one of the best dudes you’ll ever meet, period! Great, deep conversation about a variety of subjects always happens and the time flies by. I can’t recommend Scott enough, I won’t use anyone else, he’s my go to dude and your first appointment won’t be your last. My next appointment is tomorrow and I can’t wait. Getting close to finishing a piece and then I’ll be starting another.
