I was looking for my first tattoos (yes, plural). Karen along with a few other artists were recommended to me by a friend who has ties to Austin's tattoo community. I'm extremely pleased I decided on Karen (call it a gut feeling) as I don't think I could have had a better first experience. Karen?s work is extremely intricate and detailed; she truly has a passion for art. Whether her medium is canvas or skin you can tell by looking at her work that she truly is passionate about what she does and takes a lot of pride in her work. When I asked another tattoo shop for assistance in designing my tattoo they told me to find what I was looking for on the internet. Needless to say that was not the answer I was hoping for. For one of my tattoos I gave Karen a concept and she embraced it coming up with a one of a kind design that is exactly what I was looking for. Accolades to her for listening to me and asking the right questions so she was able conceive what I had in my mind?s eye but just couldn?t draw or design myself. Her work absolutely fantastic. Given her passion, credentials, and pride in her work I would recommend her to anyone.
Pros: Detailed and able to do custom work
