I stopped by after reading several reviews on Yelp and Google and wanted to get an estimate and drawing of a tattoo. The atmosphere was so warm and I felt welcomed immediately. I explained to Lari what I wanted and within 10 minutes she drew it up exactly as I had in my mind. I was excited and felt great I proceeded to get the tattoo that evening. Lari was fast gentle (yes) and professional along the way ensuring I was comfortable. I would highly recommend Buzz buzz for your next tattoo and oh might add the pricing was way under what I assumed so excellent service great atmosphere and very reasonable. read more

Haven't gotten a tattoo in years and had that itch. Went to my tattoo artist Kelly Barr and he hit it out of the park. Told him my idea and let him do his thing. Can't be happier with the results will be back to get more ink done by Kelly read more

Buzz Buzz Tattoo - Planchette tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Austin, Texas

Went in for a group session with Kelly Barr and we all got high quality tattoos! Got matching tattoos and came in with a specific design which he was more than happy to do. Kelly was very kind and accommodating for our first timers talking us through tattoos on both the ankle and ribs. read more

Overall, I would definitely recommend this shop! The people were nice and the environment is very cool. I went closer to the end of the day on Friday the 13th which obviously meant a long day for them, but they were all still very kind and apologetic about the slight wait (which I didn't mind at all, again, with it being the 13th, I expected some delay). My tattoo looks so, so much better than I expected, and I really appreciated the artist taking the time to make sure my placement was perfect. My only slight critique/concern is I noticed after I took the bandage off that he did not do a very good job of shaving my arm. The tattoo has a considerable amount of hair still on the area, & I worry that may result in an infection or affect the saturation. But nothing has happened so far, so I don't really have too much to her hung up on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Again, overall, I would absolutely go back again for a smaller piece and would recommend anyone else do the same!! read more

Buzz buzz was great! Professional service and gave exactly what we wanted. Owner is nice and has been in the industry for a long time.

Kelly Barr is a master at his craft - i have a tattoo that he has done that had stood out more than any of my other tattoos, my most complimented piece. I've seen alot of his work done on folks in Austin, and strangers have had the same reaction to them as well. If you want butterflies, extremely thinly done, cool. I can assure you those colors won't fade...that one star was completely unnecessary. This tattoo is 3 and a half years old. "I WAS HURT BY KELLY BARR" read more

I came in to Buzz Buzz Tattoo last Wednesday to get some work done on my sleeve. I had called a week prior and had a consultation with Kelly, I am coming from out of state and recently moved to Austin. After seeing Kelly's amazing work on his social media platforms, I had to book him! Kelly did an amazing job!! I look forward to getting the rest of my arm finished. read more

I got my FIRST tattoo ever done with sizer. He did such a great job and exceeded my expectations. My tattoo came out BETTER than what I initially wanted. My tattoo was done in 2 sessions of about 2 hours each. All the line work on my tattoo is extremely clean. And healed extremely nice. It was a big piece and was decently priced because of how quickly he was able to finish. I am extremely satisfied and will be returning for any future tattoos. read more

From my first inquiry to the finished product, my experience with Kelly at Buzz Buzz was great. He was quick to respond to my questions and flexible with the schedule. The shop is clean and comfortable and Kelly is a nice guy. Most importantly, the work looks great! Very satisfied with how it turned out and my comfort level while he was working. Will be back for work in the future. Recommend! read more

I sent in a couple ideas to Kelly and he created the perfect piece for me! His recommendation on placement and minimal shading was exactly what I needed to blend in with the artwork I already had on my arm. If I could give more stars, he would have them all. read more

Kelly is responsive, considerate, efficient, friendly, and his linework is impeccable.

Buzz Buzz Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Austin, Texas

After 60 years, I just got my first tatt. Lost my younger brother 1 year ago and got his initials and date he passed on my bicep. Some shops were more interested in large projects versus my little script and didn't want to be bothered. It meant a lot to me that Kelly personally took time to do my ink. Being my first time, I was expecting the worst but I can say it was close to painless. Uncomfortable, yes. Stinging, yes. Painful, barely. The shop has a great vibe and it was great hearing the story of Kelly and Buzz Buzz. I you're a first timer like I was, Buzz Buzz will take great care of you read more

I love my new tattoo more than life itself. It's beautiful. I can't stop showing it off. Bradley did and amazing job and it was really affordable too. Everyone I know, even my parents, love my new tattoo. read more

Buzz Buzz Tattoo - It's a Pokémon named Sylveon. - Tattoo Near Me - Austin, Texas

Got tattoos by Kelly during the Covid pandemic and they couldn't be more on point with cleanliness and safety procedures. My tattoo turned out great because Kelly recommended some changes to make sure it worked perfectly with where I wanted it on my leg. Very friendly crew that makes you feel welcome. read more

So glad we chose to get tattooed here on a last minute trip to Austin! Greg was awesome and we felt so safe despite the current environment. We were the only ones in the shop and everything was cleaned so thoroughly. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was safe for us. read more

Well, not one other tattoo artist can live up to the owners tattoos. It is still in the running as my favorite spot in Austin. Sadly, I'm in Leander so I can just get one so easily!! read more

I'm not one to complain about anything but I feel like this could possibly help someone else avoid a situation like this. I got a tattoo recently w/ Adam here and didn't realize how crooked it came out until I took the clear bandage off this afternoon. I will attach a pic of the tattoo and the image I had shown the shop. When I initially contacted the shop it was through Yelp and had spoken to Kelly (who I had seen great reviews on and liked his work) and when I called they sort of just passed the phone around to Adam who I sent the deposit to. A couple of minutes later I found his Instagram and his work just wasn't the style of detail I was looking for so I asked Kelly if there was any chance I could maybe get the tattoo done by him or Sizer who I had also seen some great work from on here and their Instagram. He said no so I said alright and went ahead with getting the work done by Adam since I had already sent the deposit. I had asked for it pretty small but he kept insisting I got it bigger because "bigger was better" and "they stretch with age." I got the work done, we had a nice conversation and I left. I'm now realizing that many of the lines are shaky and really just badly done. I figured he might've been new to the shop and they wanted to build his rep but I paid good money to get this done nicely and ended up with something I don't like. read more

Not my first tattoo... and it won't be my last experience with this shop! I have a few small/medium size tattoos that have all been decent experiences, but Buzz Buzz stands out as the best. I appreciate the shop's location, the owner, and the vibe here. Sizer worked with me to create art from an idea. I've been working my way up to a sleeve tattoo and I look forward to bringing this to reality at Buzz Buzz! read more

I finally got the chance to get my first tattoo done and after doing a bit of research on a couple of places, I decided to try Buzz Buzz. First impression, the shop was very open and had a calm ambience. Sizer was quick to help me with my idea and we got started right away, he did however, take his time with the design which I really appreciate since it shows his dedication. He contributed his own ideas and was very helpful with all my first time questions. I never felt pressured or discouraged in any way during the consultation or getting the work done. I am very impressed and satisfied with the end result. I will probably only be coming to these guys from here on out! Thank you!! read more

Buzz Buzz Tattoo - By Sizer - Tattoo Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came in to do a tattoo to commemorate a family member. Sizer is professional and spends time detailing out what will be best for what I was looking for. I had wanted it done in a particular location but Sizer explained to me areas where tats wouldn't last too long. Very nice and honest guy and does amazing work. I hadn't gotten a tat in a long time so Sizer put me at ease and conversed with me the entire time to keep my mind off of the pain. Clean shop in south Austin! Stop in to see him, you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm mind blown. This...this is what you call a tattoo the difference is unbelievable. If I could rate this place more than 5 stars I would. I don't ever leave reviews but for this i just have too. I have to give a very special thank you to sizer for making me so much more comfortable in my own skin. Definitely coming back and definitely recommend. Quality over anything. A picture is worth a thousand words..I mean just look for yourself ! read more

I finally decided to stop in here and I'm glad I did! I had an idea of what I wanted to do but when I walked in and talked to Sizer he gave me his opinion and helped me quickly realize that's not what I wanted after all. Instead of trying to add on to and fix a piece I was not very happy with, he gave me an idea of a cover up. When I saw the drawing I was ecstatic! The end result was absolutely beautiful and I get compliments on it every single day! Durning the process Sizer was fun and easy to talk to and I realized we actually have a lot in common! I get a really good feeling about people when I can connect with them and Sizer is definitely someone who will and already is having people referred to him. His professional opinion is appreciated and his work is obviously drop dead. I will be drooling over my piece until I can save up some more cash to go back! Thanks Sizer! read more

Came in for an appointment that was super easy to schedule! They also take walk-ins and the whole shop felt very clean. We shared some friendly banter as we went, nothing crazy. Im overall super happy with my tatt. The lines are clean and I left with a huge smile. read more

Sizer is an excellent tattoo artist! I had several tattoos done by different artists across Austin and San Antonio, but never landed on an artist that I really clicked with until I met Sizer. I followed him from his seat at Bijou to his new shop at Buzz Buzz. He's currently working on a huge piece on my upper thigh, and I love it. The process has been very collaborative, he is always eager to listen to my suggestions and and pitch his own ideas in terms of color & layout - I was even cool with him freehanding a few parts when he was in the groove. Not to mention he's a great conversationalist! Big plus when someone is digging a needle through your skin. read more

Buzz Buzz Tattoo is a great locally owned shop. Sizer the owner and artist is extremely professional, listens to your idea and makes it happen. I had a 22 year old tattoo that he completely brought back to life. Nice to have a shop that is not a tattoo sweat shop and great conversations is always a plus. I have now been back for a second one! read more
