Got my first tattoo here last October, and another one last month. Donny designed two GORGEOUS tattoos for me. I gave him a vague idea and some reference pictures and he managed to turn it into something unique and beautiful. His designs lined up so well with the vision in my head, almost like he could read my mind! Everyone in the shop was so friendly and professional. I was really nervous about my first one but everyone was so chill and welcoming it ended up being a great experience! Donny, Kasha, Brooke, and Manny were all so calm it totally erased my anxiety! I appreciate that they patiently explained everything to me and answered all my questions! Will definitely be returning at some point :)

About two years I emailed Mom and told her my idea and the story behind why I wanted the tattoo that would need to be a cover-up. She drew something better than I could have ever imagined. Two years later it still looks amazing and I adore it. The conversations we had while she me gave me the tattoo will stick with me for life. I was going through a rough time and she was part of my healing process. I just went back and had a tiny tattoo done that is exactly what I needed and once again Mom was able to take my idea and turn it into something even better than I imagined! The shop is clean, the artists are super nice and it has a good Austin vibe! I will be back.

This studio is so friendly. Kasha Wildbird just finished a two session, 14-hour lower leg celtic half sleeve for me, and I am stoked! Check it out. The whole studio is one big family, and I really enjoy my time there getting to know them and swapping stories. Kasha is such a professional, a real artist, and truly works hard to make your ideas come true. I highly recommend Kasha and this studio for large and small works of art! I scheduled my sessions but walk-ins are welcome too.
Requested style: Traditional celtic knots and bands
Cleanliness: The artists are constantly cleaning. This shop cares about your health.
Stylist: Kasha Wildbird - I highly recommend Kasha for multiple styles! Thanks to Debi (aka Mom) for putting together such a great staff!

UPDATE: went in today and Brooke did the tattoo. She was lovely and did an excellent job. I appreciate Mom turning what started out as an unfortunate experience into a good one. Thanks so much Brooke and Mom’s.
I'd like to preface this by saying that I'm sure the folks at this shop do great work and are excellent artist, so not trying to discourage anyone from getting ink done here. But my experience was... not great. I am traveling to Austin from out of town, and wanted to get a tattoo that is an exact replica of a drawing of a highland cow done by Scott Hutchison, the lead singer of Frightened Rabbit who took his own life in 2018. His music saved my life-- it's a big reason I'm still here today and I wanted the tattoo as a memorial to that. I made an appointment in advance and sent a photo of a drawing. The artist called the drawing "child-like" and asked if I'd like it improved. I said no, and acknowledged that although it's not maybe the most beautiful art, it's meaningful to me and art is subjective. Well I just got a call from the artist, who told me that they have to cancel the appointment, because the tattoo was "so ugly" and they essentially didn't want it out in the world with their name on it. It was also apparently passed around the whole shop, and everyone else thought it was ugly too. Don't get me wrong, it is absolutely a tattoo artist's prerogative to deny service, I don't fault them for that. But it was so insulting that I honestly wish they would have just lied and said they double booked a client and couldn't fit me in.

My husband and I made an appointment with Brooke and she was amazing! We told her what we wanted and with her creativity we went home extremely happy with our tattoos! The vibe of the shop was really cool as well! They played great music and we really felt comfortable there! We will definitely be back!

This is my second time here and I would highly recommend this cute shop with patient friendly staff. My daughter drew a heart and the tattoo artist meticulously made sure it was an exact replica of her art.

Billy was fantastic! Came in as a walk-in and they had me in & out in around 45 minutes. The tattoo was exactly what I had envisioned and I’m so glad he was able to bring it to life! Pricing was great, especially compared to my other tattoo that was a lot smaller from another shop in Dallas. Amazing place & will definitely go back when I get my next one!

I don't write reviews often - but I just have to rave about Mom's Tattoos and especially Kasha. I came in with an idea for a tattoo - and Kasha transformed it into something amazing! I am SO thrilled with what she did. Kasha's artistry was/is outstanding - and her light touch throughout made the whole experience WAY less painful than I had in my head! I have already scheduled my next one with her!!!! If you are looking for your first or 21st tattoo - Kasha at Mom's is the BEST!

I had my appointment with brooke.
Can't say enough good things about her and the shop.
This piece took about 2.5 ish hours. I think their prices are fair. I looked threw all the artist portfolios on instagram and you really cant go wrong with any of them. Theres a style for everyone here.
The whole place was friendly and inviting. If your in austin and have a sec for a tattoo this is the place

I got a spirit animal tattoo from Roach about 2 weeks ago. He did a fabulous job. Better than I could have Imagined. If you need a pet portrait he’s your guy. I followed his instruction to the letter and it healed in 7 days. I can’t wait to go back up and have him take care of an old piece. Mom’s, if your looking for a great place to get some good ink, it’s the place.

I went in with an idea of what I wanted and mom drew my idea into a beautiful reality. I'm so happy with the results.
