Amazing experience from start to finish. Hannah was so kind, patient, and truly listened to my vision. She helped bring my birthday tattoo to life and it turned out even better than I imagined. We traveled from Houston to Austin, and she made me, my husband, and our daughter feel so welcomed and comfortable the entire time. Her space felt warm and inviting, and she has such a gentle hand that the tattoo barely hurt at all. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful work and an artist who genuinely cares about their clients. I can’t wait for everyone to see this piece! 🫶🏼💪🏼🫶🏼

We were so glad to have found this place - Dark Horse is a true gem! There was amazing art everywhere. The entire staff were all so nice and sweet, they really elevated the whole experience. We came in for tattoos and got to enjoy live music while we waited which was a treat. Rayvin did our tattoos and she was fabulous - she helped to create the perfect design and knocked our fine line tattoos out of the park! Overall we had a wonderful experience here and I highly recommend checking this place out. (And make sure to pop in to the bathroom - it’s beautiful!)

Just happened to walk by and stop in to see what about a tattoo, and was surprised how cool the space is. The staff was super inviting and friendly. The space is very big with a barber shop and phenomenal coffee shop in the back. The Colombian food trailer on the side is great as well. Will definitely be back!

I love this beautiful and uniquely designed space, and the people; the whole team are warm and welcoming and will have you smiling. I followed my tattoo artist San there as he joined the team, and I’ve come to just love being there and find myself going back again and again for delicious coffees served by smiling friendly staff, musical open mic nights, yoga, and all kinds of fun events. Check it out!
