John Austin

John Austin

Meet John! He has been tattooing since his final year at Beal Art in 1996. He tries his hand at most styles, except portraits and super high realism. Colour is his happy place, but he also enjoys tattooing in black and grey too. John was one half of Austin Custom Tattoos with his brother for close to 30 years. He is self proclaimed "old as a dinosaur" and has noticed many changes to the tattoo industry since he began.

John is happily married with a beauty of a daughter, Oriole, and a recent new born! He loves all things vintage, old Fords, and collecting vinyl records. He absolutely HATES mayo and greatly fears spiders.

Fun Fact: When Taylor was 9 years old she met John when she accompanied her parents to their tattoo appointments. Watching John tattoo inspired her to want to become a Tattoo Artist.
