Let me begin by saying that Karen Slafter is an artistic genius. I was lucky enough to know someone that knows her, and now I can?t see myself going to anyone else for ink. Her fantastic color work, intuition, and respect for the client and their ideas are a few of the things that strike me most about this lovely lady. I was more than thrilled to learn that Karen has opened her own shop. You can find Spellbound Studios off South Lamar, although it?s so quiet around her shop, you?d never know it. The whole feel of her new space is serene and inviting. The shop itself is beautiful, with private chairs and good lighting. There is nothing lacking in Spellbound except the Holier-than-thou attitude that pervades so many tattoo shops in Austin. You will not find that kind of vibe at Spellbound, and you certainly won?t get that from Karen. She is kind and understanding, and she works extremely hard for her clients. You could not ask for a better artist, or a better shop, to go to for tattoo.
Pros: Incredible work, wonderful atmosphere
Cons: Not one single thing
