Iron Rite Tattoo South — Local services in Georgetown

I came by for the Friday the 13th tattoo flash sale, it was ($130+ i tipped ) [please tip your artist]. I had a really hard time picking which one I wanted because I had so many I really liked! I ended up going with wyatts grim reaper design. The wait was long, but there was a wait list and they stated that they would call/text when it got close to you. I wasn't tattooed until 530 and at that point I had changed my mind and added a second one and got a little snake+skull too, both in black and grey. I was tattooed by James Dupper whos incredibly kind and very personable, and took his time to make sure everything looked good. I've been tattooed by a couple artists (Daniel, Johnny, (Tommy?) that work here since they opened and everyone has exceeded expectations, including not just the artists, Marcos was some great entertainment lol and Brooke was very kind and straightforward, even when people were not that nice about the wait list being closed. Which was bummer but there are only so many artists that can work so fast, it was first come, first serve and they stuck to that. Anyone that wanted one should've known there was a possibility the waitlist could be closed especially because these were bigger tattoos offered and all the shops in austin were oversaturated. Im excited to go back and get a couple more when my pockets recover. I recommend this shop to anyone looking for fair, good quality work to be done, it's a hidden gem...

After my grandmother passed away, I decided to get a tattoo in her honor on a random Wednesday afternoon. I wanted to support a local business and discovered Iron Rite Tattoo South was 1 mile away from my house! Not knowing what to expect, I walked in and was greeted by some of the friendliest people I’ve met in a tattoo shop in an awhile. Cody Clark was my artist and he greeted me with a smile, asked the significance of the tattoo, and we proceeded to talk the entire session about our lives. The tattoo turned out beautifully and Cody was genuinely so happy to have tattooed this small little piece of my grandma for me to always remember. It’s THIS kind of environment that is often missing from the tattoo industry. I remember being 18 and getting my first tattoo and feeling like I would always feel embarrassed about a design I wanted and that tattoo artists would be mean and unapproachable, but places like Iron Rite Tattoo South are here to break that. They provided an environment where I felt comfortable and well taken care of, which is imperative when you’re adding art to your body for life. After the tattoo was done, other artists asked me about my tattoo I just received, my teaching career, and told me they hope the school year goes well. All of the above is why you should visit this shop for your next tattoo! Thank you so much for the experience, Cody and Iron Rite, I will definitely be...

I LOVE this shop! It’s an amazing atmosphere to be tattooed in, and everyone there goes above and beyond to make sure you are completely comfortable while getting tattooed. They are ALWAYS accepting walk ins, and everyone there is amazing and incredibly easy to work with. Cory is my go to artist and he’s amazing! Every time i get a new tattoo people consistently ask me who my tattoo artist is and what shop i go to. Marcos is always working the front counter or working on his apprenticeship when I go in and he is so professional and kind, he is always running around helping in some way if he’s not busy tattooing, himself! The employees at the shop really make you feel like you’re a friend while you’re in there. They know how to have a good time and ENJOY THEIR JOBS while also putting out amazing work! Everyone in that shop is PASSIONATE ABOUT TATTOOING and...
