A good, nice tattoo/piercing parlor in Austin Texas?

so, im going to get my cartilage (on my ear...) pierced, and i heard that if they use a gun it shatters the cartilage, which does not sound pleasent. so, im guessing a tatoo/piercing parlor would know to use a needle

but i dont want to go to one that is unsanitary and infestided with hepatitis, you know?

so if you know of a sanitary tattoo/piercing parlor that would be super wonderful!


thankyou!:]]

Based on a city-wide poll conducted earlier this year (thru citysearch), these are the top 3 tattoo and piercing shops in Austin:

1. Atomic Tattoo (on Burnet Road)

2. Diablo Rojo (Guadalupe Street)

3. Perfection Tattoo (Guadalupe Street)

Good luck!

I guess you asked for the pain

There are a gazillion tattoo/piercing places in Austin, and I've been to a couple--but the best place I've been to is Atomic Tattoo.

Atomic has been in business sixteen years; they are VERY professional, they have extremely clean and sanitary facilities, the artists are talented, experienced, and very cool. I had my nose done there and they do use sterile needles and equipment.

There are three locations: Burnet (original shop), MLK (central) and Pflugerville.

Check below for the link to their site.

Have fun!

Black Cat Tattoo on 6th Street. The guys there are really cool and they know a LOT about tattoos and piercings.

I got a big piece done at Southside tattoos and they were great! It's on South Congress next to Continental Club. Super nice people and very good at what they do!!

If I had to put one in front of the rest, it would certainly be Atomic Tattoo.

They do piercings and tattoos.

And they won't do something that won't look good on you, either.
