Ive been getting tattoos for 24 years, and this has BY FAR been my best experience. Wherever I go in the world, when I want a tattoo, Ill be coming back to Mike Metaxa for it. I did not end up getting the EXACT tattoo I had envisioned. Luckily I know enough about true artists to listen to his suggestions, and now I have a real work of art on my arm. He made sure it was true to the expression I was going for, but made minor adjustments (with my permission) to make it perfect. He needs to have the freedom to be proud of his work. If you want an assembly line tattoo, go somewhere and have a robot do it for you. If you want a piece of art that you would hang in your house if it were on paper, go here. I get stopped about 3 times a day by strangers admiring my ink and asking where I got it. Artists like Mike sometimes have HUGE waits, but lucky for us here in Austin, hes moved from NY and is rebuilding his client list. You have the best of both worlds here...an amazing artist and (usually) not much of a wait. I simply cant recommend him enough, and I wont let anyone I know go anywhere else.

I have multiple tattoos. Hes been able to add to an old piece I had. When I sit in his chair. I am very confident and comfortable letting him do his thing. He is a true artist. Drawing on skin is not easy. Hes a natural at it. I have bout half a sleeve now. I am done shopping for ligit tattoo artists. Ive got a few pieces but none of them pop like Mikes. Hes a cool, chill dude. If you ask his opinion. Be ready for an honest answer. I have some pretty horrible tattoos. Lol. But hes given me the security and trust I need. I highly recommend Mr. Mike. He is my one and only tattoo artist. If your a true lover of tattoos, art, eclectic pieces and got the time. Call him up. He will indeed answer any questions you have :0)

Great experience. This guy is a true artist and historian. He has vast knowledge of historical symbols and cultures. I am pretty sure all he does is custom work. If you want one of a kind ink, this is the place to get it.

Ive been going to Mike for years. When I found out that he moved to Texas I flew out from New York to get work done. I wouldnt trust anyone else to tattoo me...

Only had one experience here, and it was small, simple work, but it came out amazing. He knows what hes doing! If you need some ink, heres your place.

The best tattoo experience I have had. All the way through! I cant wait to get back in for my next one!

Arthouse tattoo is the only place I would highly recommend if youre looking to get an Epic Tattoo.
