    Planchette tattoo
    Tony S.

    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

    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!!

    Great experience! I managed to get a tattoo before the apocalypse hit, Sizer was awesome from start to finish. He has a huge talent for any designs you might want, I'm sure he could do anything! He does a great job at keeping you calm and works swiftly. I love my new tattoo so much and if I think I might want another one I will be visiting Buzz Buzz again!

    Kelly was great! He did an amazing job on my tattoo and the process was incredibly smooth! Nice clean shop and efficient at what they do! Super happy with the results :)

    My 2nd tattoo at BuzzBuzz, Sizer wasn't in so Kelly took care of me right away! Had to add a simple 26.2 and was in an out in about 15 minutes! Got a few big ones planned this year I'll be coming back for sure! Thanks guys!!!!

    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"

    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.

    I got this tattoo behind my ear in august and it's now march and it's healed wonderfully. I loved the wrap they used after and it helped my healing process a lot. very nice, welcoming, and clean. Adam did my tattoo and I definitely will come again,

    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.

    Sizer has done 2 coverups for me and and 5 other tattoos. He is the only tattoo artist I trust, even my little sister has come up from over 2 hours away for her tattoos. Go see Sizer at Buzz Buzz Tattoo, you will not be disappointed!

    I have only gone here for my art work. Just got a arm piece done last night and with Sizer's recommendation it came out better than I anticipated. I normally do black toned art but he recommended to add color.

    It's a Pokémon named Sylveon.

Parking was an absolute nightmare so I would recommend taking a rideshare to get to this location.    When someone talks about tattoo shops in Austin, All Saints is definitely one of those mentioned almost every time. The tattoo/piercing shop has wonderful reviews and a ton of happy patrons. The vibe in this space is very lowkey and homey. We were the first ones in for the day.   My best friend and I wanted to get complementary tattoos. We only wanted three words in Seagram each with my best friend getting hers in black and me getting mine in red. We were told it would cost extra for red ink. Fine.   After the woman working the front took the stencil print-outs to the artists, she came back and quoted us $200 each. What? We were shocked. I knew the tattoo wouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes and did not understand how my friend was quoted the same as me if "red is extra." Thus, I came to my own conclusion that pricing is completely random and up to the artist. I guess it's a game of luck?   That being said, Carlos did a wonderful job on my tattoo and Hannah did a great job on my friend's. Carlos and I had a lot to talk about as we were raised in the same city and he went to my highschool while I was also in attendance. Wild stuff!   Still, for what we got, I wouldn't have paid more than $150 + tip for this tattoo. There needs to be a length requirement or some rules and regulations for pricing (I know this is not easy). Just know you're getting very talented artists when you walk-in!   Bring your wallet!

I've had the piercing itself for 10 years now & I've never had an issue with changing jewelry and I've had it at a 18 gauge the full time. The piercer said he grabbed the right size jewelry after sizing . Showed it to me.. I said it looked kinda thick and he said it was standard size. I thought that was weird but trusted him since I told him the gauge size to begin with. Then I asked for help getting old nose ring out and this one in. He proceeded to gauge my nose with out my knowledge and when I pulled back and said "OWCH" he said it just needed lube because it wasn't going in and continue to force it in and was extremely aggressive about it and acted like I was stupid or didn't know what I was talking about when I voiced I've never felt pain like that changing a piercing. My nose bled and was so swollen the next day that I had to go to a different shop to get it taken out because I couldn't even sleep on that side of my face it hurt so bad. The next shop I saw said that he gauged my nose ring to a 16 and ripped it a little from gauging it so roughly.

    This review is way past due. Last year, I was absolutely devastated over the loss of Prince, and I…read moreneeded something to help me heal... something permanent... a tattoo! I wanted to have "him" with me in some way for the rest of my life... enter ZULU. I am a hairdresser, and a wonderful client of mine said to me one day as we were discussing tattoos, "there's nobody on earth I'd let tattoo me other than Zulu". This is HIGH praise coming from this particular woman, so I looked him up. As soon as I went to his website, I felt an energy that I can only describe as "this is it, this is my guy", I knew it immediately. Browsing through his work, I was blown away. His meticulous attention to detail is unmatched. He is an ARTIST of the highest degree. His website images don't do justice to the work- I don't think any picture of his work can do his art justice. You *have* to see it to believe it. I had a consultation with him, and shared with him images of things I liked, and things I'm drawn to, but mostly I wanted him to create it. Several days later, he sent me an image of what he came up with, and it was a slam dunk, just as I knew it would be. It took 3 sessions to complete, and it is a MASTERPIECE. I love the art on my forearm so much it's stupid. I get so much attention because it's so incredible. I even met Prince's band The Revolution, and they were blown away! Wendy and Lisa couldn't stop touching it! Anyway, you get my point, right? So here's another thing... Zulu himself is an amazing human being. He and I had the most wonderful conversations and now he's my friend forever. Choose Zulu as your artist and you'll have more than just a tattoo, you'll have a masterpiece.

    So this past weekend was my first experience directly under the hand of Zulu. Since we visited a…read morefew months ago for him to work on my wife's back, he and I have been in contact about what I've had planned for the remainder of the sleeve on my right arm. Because I travel for 6 months of the year the remainder of our conversations have been via email and also a 30 minute FaceTime consultation while I was overseas in place of a telephone call. Khani (shop mgr/wife) has done a wonderful job throughout of keeping the flow going and making sure that Zulu was available to discuss issues with me as needed. Zulu spent a considerable amount of time prepping for our arrival this trip as I had provided a number of different pieces of Tibetan art work to use for reference on my arm. After the FaceTime consult he fully understood what I wanted and that he was also given full artistic license to do what looked right and would flow with what I already had on my arm. He is only the second artist I've aver talked to that immediately got my concept and was genuinely excited about doing the work I was requesting. This was first obvious to me when we originally visited, but once we had talked and he started the work on the final design, the true light came out in Zulu. I arrived about 15 minutes early to the studio and just sat while he continued to collect his thoughts and worked to get the various pieces setup. We started with a fitting of the largest piece that would be done which was a full incarnation of Mara in demon form. Zulu only needed to resize it once and then worked on the angle and layout on my forearm (which is not big in any way) however, he laid it out to allow for the rest of the piece around and on the back of my arm. Once we had it fully laid out he applied the initial stencil for Mara and then he got to work. Zulu uses a rotary gun to apply his tattoos (as does Pinky which makes for a soothing sound in the small space). The beauty of this style of application is that unlike a normal gun that basically hammers you throughout the process, the rotary is more like a smooth flowing motion. When you add this to the extremely delicate touch that Zulu has while tattooing it makes for the absolute most pleasurable experience I've had to date. There was literally no pain until about the last 10 minutes of the session. We took a total of 4.5 hours to do all of the outline work for my arm, the detail in person looks unlike any I previously thought possible from a tattoo. His classical art training comes out when he works and his chair side manor is beyond reproach. The music in the studio is also spot on allowing Zulu to get into his groove and produce the beginnings of a masterpiece. I say beginnings because I can't wait to come back to finish the color and shading in November. Bottom line: if you want something that is truly a masterpiece on you as the canvas...than Zulu is the person to do it for you. There is no longer a need for me to search out an artist for my other projects, Zulu has a client for life.
