I had a great experience at this shop yesterday for Friday The 13th tattoo special. Their appointment system is THE BEST. I've waited outside others for HOURS at other places. The process once inside was flawless and my tattoos turned out great. Thanks again, Can't wait for next month! read more

I've gotten three tattoos at American Gypsy, and yesterday my wife, mother-in-law, and I all went in for some new ink. It was such a fun experience! Addi did my piece, and I'm always impressed with her professionalism. She squeezed me in on short notice, customized the rough sketch I brought in, and was patient with sizing and placement. Her lines are always clean, and she does it all with a smile. My wife and her mom got matching tattoos from Avery, who went above and beyond. She took the time to make sure the stencils were perfect and even stayed after closing to finish their pieces. They loved her personality, and the tattoos turned out beautifully--great lines and color. The owners, David and Shelbey, are wonderful. The shop has a welcoming, family-friendly vibe, and I really enjoy David's artwork. We'll definitely be back! read more

Heard numerous good things about this place for years. Decided to drive over an hour for their Friday the 13th event. Check into online queue at 6:30(wait was estimated an hour) told at 7:30 that it was our turn, get to the desk and the front girl says they canceled us and that was it. Wasted gas and time. Thought I'd take my girl here to get her ears pieced but I will never go back. So unprofessional and a horrible fail. Good riddance read more

Great people!!!! I have never enjoyed gun style piercing locations (Claire's, icing, target) sadly for my first daughter up in the northeast that was our only option as many tattoo and piercing parlors would not work on infants. I am SO GLAD I found American Gypsy! My second is 6 months old and I knew I did not want to go through the trauma of piercing her ears at a Dr office with a gun. I arrived and everyone was super friendly. Working with infant piercings they actually pierce the lobes in tandem, which IS WICKED SMART! Not two ouchies but just ONE. I was able to calm my little one down in less than 30 seconds and we were done! The location is a bit far for me, but totally worth it. Cozy space and super down to earth couple I loved it and definitely recommend them to everyone. read more

After both of my daughters had a great piercing experience, they picked up David's card knowing I wasn't happy with my recent art. Called on a Tuesday morning and had an appointment that same afternoon! David did a great job correcting the blowouts and color and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend this family owned business- clean, friendly and very customer service oriented. You won't be disappointed! read more

The people here were very welcoming but I feel like they where unprofessional I went to get my nipples done and they had to re-pierced one twice cause they messed up on getting the earring thru the first time I believe it's cause they tryed piecing them both at the same time and one of them wast ready so I feel like the other person felt rushed they also didn't use the correct jewelry for it they put a horse shoe earing in instead of a straight bar and not only that but messed up my friends tattoo the roman numerals weren't correct and she did provide a picture read more

Very friendly. I look forward to getting more piercings and even another tattoo. They work well with your kids when it's their first time getting their ears pierced. I was very satisfied with our overall experience. read more

David's work is absolutely stunning! It's exactly what we wanted! I watched Kelly tattoo for a little while, and she is quite TALENTED as well! If you want to be tattooed or pierced by very down to earth nice people, that do beautiful work, in a clean shop go see them at their new shop in Jonestown.... I promise it will be worth your while! read more

The amount of anger and disgust I have looking at myself is unbearable. Fuck these people. The owner and his wife both pierced my nipples and completely fucked them up. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE FOR PIERCINGS. They do not know what they're doing. I was a guinea pig and they were not careful whatsoever. I had to try and get them re-pierced 4 times. I'm in tears, completely livid. read more

Called in a day prior to my moms 15 year death anniversary for a memorial tattoo honoring her. Shelby got me scheduled quick and gave me price ranges immediately.

Environment was relaxing and clean. Will definitely be coming back here for more tattoos. Thank you Shelby! read more

I went here for my 18th birthday for my first tattoo. A family friend gave me an excellent review after asking about it. The service was so great. David is a very personable guy and made my experience a very pleasing one. My appointment did run late because he was working on someone's sleeve but it was completely okay! I will definitely be going back there for a tattoo and ask for David. I think it's definitely worth the two hour drive read more

They got my roman numerals wrong & it was supposed to be a piece for my grandpa saying his birthday, thanks for ruining something so simple it's sad to say his birthday isn't the right date! and my friend got her nipples pierced and they tried doing at the same time only to Repierce one twice, and they didn't even do them right, and had to get hers removed days later!!! if i could i would give them 0 stars read more

Our 6 year old daughter was begging to get her ears pierced for her birthday! So after the party, and after some research and reading lots of reviews for local tattoo/piercing studios near our home in Leander, we headed over to American Gypsy. I'm so glad we did! Many piercing studios in the greater Austin area are charging over $100 to pierce kids ears. At American Gypsy, we were only charged $20 including jewelry! After signing a brief consent form, we were welcomed in with no wait (as walk-ins). David and Shelby were kind and easy-going, and great with our daughter. It was FAST - we were in and out of there in less than 10 min! The piercing itself took only a couple of minutes, and they did both ears simultaneously, which was really nice. Our daughter said it didn't hurt when they did it, she only had a few moments where her ears were "stinging" a bit here and there, in the hours after having it done. On the way out, David talked a little bit about after-care with us, and we were pleasantly surprised to hear that it's much easier than the information we had read about online! Lastly, if you're thinking of getting your kid's ears pierced, read up on gun method vs needle method. Needle, which is what is always used at reputable tattoo/piercing studios, is definitely the way to go. Many thanks to David and Shelby at American Gypsy! We had a great experience and our daughter LOVES her newly pierced ears!!! read more

I was going to take my kids to Claire's to get their ears pierced, and decided no I'll take them to a tatto shop instead. I live in Leander so I went to the closest one. When we got there everyone was real welcoming and polite which made me feel a little more at ease. We go back to the station, my son sits in the chair David and Shelby his wife both pierce at the same time, ok never seen that done before which was a big help. Then my daughter sits in my lap they pierce her ears, she screamed as to be expected. We go up to pay $20 for my son's ears with earrings, then I have to pay $40 for my daughter's didn't understand that one. We were told to just clean the piercing the first day with soap and water on a q-tip, leave it alone after that. When I was younger we got a ear piercing cleaning solution and were told to twist to prevent the earring from sticking during the healing process. Nowadays, I guess they just say soap and water and send you on your way. So that was in the beginning of December, I wanted to give the piercings more time to heal so we waited to change the earrings. I'm not sure what happened if the earrings were fake or what but, we went to take my son's earrings out and there was yellow pus/blood drainage coming from both ear holes. Not to mention, my daughter's had 1 ear that had a little pus not much. I just know I'm not very happy because, I gave them the benefit of the doubt just to be proven right. I am having to use saline solution on my son 3-4 times a day, along with warm compresses, ibuprofen for the swelling, and he's having to wait another couple of weeks to heal. I went ahead and put some real sterling silver earrings im my son's and daughter's ears and now we are continuing the hopefully healing process. I would not recommend this place for a piercing of any kind. I would like my money back, but I see that being more trouble than it's worth. read more

David gave my daughters their cartilage piercings. This mom was nervous taking my teens to a tattoo shop for a piercing, but I quickly changed my mind. His demeanor is very calming, and he is very good at putting people at ease. This skeptical mom will have no problem sending her daughters back for other services. Thank you, David! read more

Took my 7 year old to get her ears pierced here. No wait, great price and did both ears at the same time. So far so good.

I decided to get my ears re-pierced after 45 years of clip-Ins. I had problems with my ears getting infected when I was younger and heard that a Tattoo Artist pierces them with a bigger hole. American Gypsy Tattoo was the closest to me so I chose them. And am I GLAD I went here. David and his Wife are the nicest people. David pierced my ears but before doing so, he explained everything so I would understand. It's been 12 days and my ears feel great! David suggested leaving the earrings in for a year, no use of alcohol and NO twisting of the earrings! (That was news to me, guess times change over 45 years ) David was working with a guy that wanted a tattoo when I arrived. By the time I left David had stenciled this beautiful unique tattoo on his arm. It was AWESOME!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND American Gypsy Tattoo for your piercings and tattoos. Thank You David for a wonderful piercing experience and here's to pierced earrings again read more

Went in for David's January special for permanent makeup. Years ago I had my eyebrows microbladed by someone else, and they had turned a weird color and faded. I was a bit nervous, but David put me right at ease. Super friendly and real to talk to, and the process was almost painless and super fast! The best part? The color he chose perfectly compliments my hair and skin tone, and the shape and "hair strokes" look 100% real! I am beyond thrilled, and would recommend him to anyone looking to have permanent makeup applied for the first time, or for touch ups. I'll definitely be back. David at American Gypsy should be your only go-to for this kind of work! read more

Really disappointed in this place. I had an appointment today I get my first tattoo on my birthday. Then my tattoo arrest texted me and canceled. Now I'm trying to find a new place.

Just had an awesome experience! Got my nose pierced! It was pain free and fast! David was super friendly and welcoming, made the experience really great! Looking forward to returning next week for a new tattoo! read more

Great experience with both David and Kelly. Not only does the talent speak for itself in the work David does but their bedside manner" is exceptional. I love how my ideas were included into David's design and the final product was a collaboration of what I wanted and what he knew would be best. LOVE final product!! This feather tattoo was not originally done by David and he gave me the complete piece I was wanting. The staff is friendly and family oriented. Good people. read more
