A San Antonio studio built around the drawing

Lions Ink is a professional tattoo studio in San Antonio, Texas built for people who want artwork made for them — not picked off a wall.

Every project starts with a conversation. We talk through the concept, the placement, how it will sit on the body and how it will age, then the artist draws it from scratch. Nothing goes on skin until you've seen the design and it feels right.

The studio itself is quiet and deliberately unintimidating: private stations, single-use needles, hospital-grade sterilisation, and artists who explain what they're doing as they go. Whether it's your first small piece or the next panel of a sleeve, the standard of care is the same.
