About Earthen Tattoo
Earthen Tattoo has quietly become one of the most respected tattoo studios in Austin, and once you've been inked here it's easy to see why.

Jacob is a favorite for first-timers and regulars alike, known for a light hand, a welcoming manner, and a knack for capturing exactly what a client had in their head. People love that he walks you through the whole process, weighs the pros and cons, and takes his time getting the design right.

Cover-ups, flash events, and last-minute mini tattoos are all in the mix here.
