Diablo Rojo Tattoo

Diablo Rojo strikes a balance between professional tattooing and a laid-back Austin vibe, with artists who take time to walk nervous first-timers through the process while maintaining solid technical skills.

The shop excels at traditional work with artists like Dean, Sahara, and Joshua Lucy getting consistent props for clean linework and aftercare guidance, though Julia appears to be hit-or-miss based on recent feedback about rushed work and poor prep. Beyond tattoos, piercer Nate stands out for his expertise with sensitive skin and problem-solving skills, while the shop's walk-in friendly policy and warm front desk crew make it a go-to spot for both planned pieces and spontaneous decisions.
