Best Black Lines in Texas

Annie Mess

Austin has its share of talented tattooers, but when it comes to fine black line work, it doesn't get better than Annie Mess, owner and artist at Golden Age Tattoos. From her tiny, skin-adorning pet portraits to her detailed, dotted, and well-shaded floral designs – oh, and don’t forget the magical ladies, Patronuses, and outer space spectacles – Mess isn’t just offering Austinites a tattoo, but a piece of permanent art you can take with you wherever you may roam.
