About Black Swan Tattoo Company
Black Swan Tattoo Company is the private studio of Jason Metka, and around Austin it has earned a reputation as one of the most respected places in town to get serious work done. Jason has more than 21 years behind the machine, and locals will tell you that experience shows in every piece. He specializes in Japanese (irezumi), fine line, and illustrative custom tattoos, with a real focus on large-scale freehand work built for the individual.
Black and grey, blackwork, color, dotwork, it's all in his wheelhouse, but people who want big Japanese pieces or full sleeves and back work travel from well outside the city for him. One thing regulars mention again and again is that Jason freehands rather than working off stencils, adjusting the design to contour with your body's anatomy so it sits and moves naturally. That kind of thoughtfulness carries through the whole process, from the first consultation to the final session.
Folks who've spent many hours on his table describe the private studio as clean, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming, and Chloe keeps everything organized and running smoothly. Ask anyone who's been inked here and you'll hear the same things: honest, easy to talk to, and a true master of the craft. Cover-ups, memorial pieces, koi on the forearm, full legs and sleeves, people trust him with the projects that matter most and walk away thrilled.
If you're after a discerning, custom experience from a genuinely skilled Austin tattoo artist, Black Swan is a name worth knowing. Custom design and aftercare products round out what he offers.
