One of Austin’s Best Tattoo Shops 
for Custom, Fine-Art Tattoos

If you’ve been searching for Austin’s best tattoo shops, you’re likely looking for more than a quick appointment—you’re looking for craftsmanship, vision, and a thoughtful creative process. That’s exactly what discerning clients expect when choosing where their tattoo journey begins.


At Charles Huurman’s studio, every project starts months in advance. The process includes in-depth consultations, multiple interviews, detailed sketching, and advanced design technology. Unlike many tattoo shops that reveal artwork on the day of the session (or not at all) you’ll see your design in 3D before tattooing even begins.


This level of preparation and attention to detail is why Charles has earned the trust of celebrities, professional athletes, and others who value precision and longevity. It’s also what sets his studio apart for clients seeking a truly elevated experience among the best tattoo shops in Austin.


OUR SKILLS AND EXPERTISE SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

  • Our Process – The process of creating an oil painting is very similar to our method of creating a realistic tattoo. We use high-resolution images as reference material, then recreate them with the same attention to detail on your skin. 

  • We Know How to Approach Sleeves and Full Backs – Don't risk getting sleeves that look like a bunch of images stacked together like stickers on a wall. We lay claim to being one of Austin best tattoo shops because our creations are perspicuous pieces of art no matter how large they are.
