About Downtown Tattoo & Piercing
If you are looking for a tattoo shop in Abilene where the artists know their craft, Downtown Tattoo & Piercing has earned a loyal following. Locals will tell you the talent here runs deep, and it shows in the range of work coming out of the shop: portraits, illustrative pieces, color, black and grey, and clean lettering and script. Whatever you bring in, the crew is good at sitting down with you to piece together exactly what you want.
Mick's name comes up again and again around town. People who have been inked by him swear by his steady hand and his ability to turn even a simple flash design into a standout portrait. He is the kind of artist regulars trust with big projects and first-timers trust to make them comfortable when nerves kick in.
Joseph, Jada, Chris, Bennet, and Taylor also get plenty of love for their skill and easy conversation. One person who came in after losing her husband said Mick took the time to talk with her and gave her an afternoon of smiles, which tells you something about the heart of this place. The studio is known for being spotless and well organized, and their Friday the 13th flash events pull a real crowd.
They handle body piercing too, with careful attention to aftercare, plus custom design work. Walk-ins are welcome. We have heard the occasional grumble about a missed appointment, but the overwhelming word around Abilene is that this is a friendly, professional shop where people keep coming back.
