How do I book a tattoo?

To begin, you can simply give a call, or contact us through the website’s contact form or reach out directly to an artist you’re interested in working with.

Please include references, size, placement, and any inspiration images — this helps our artists understand your vision and start the booking process.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes — we do welcome walk-ins when artists are available. Because Aura IV is a custom studio with high booking demand, appointments are recommended for most projects.

How far out are appointments?

Scheduling varies by artist and project size, and demand can lead to waiting periods. Some artists book weeks to months in advance — contacting us early gives you more options.

Where are you located?

Aura IV Tattoo & Fine Art Gallery is located in The Linc in Central Austin at 6406 N Interstate 35 Frontage Rd, Suite 1900, Austin, TX 78752.

Is Aura IV open to the public?

Yes — our gallery space is open to the public. You’ll be greeted with a relaxed, gallery-style environment. Clients and guests are welcome to visit, attend our events, and explore work from our artists. From the moment you step in, our focus is on comfort and creative collaboration.

Our artists work by appointment, but guests are always welcome to explore the gallery and connect with our team. We love sharing our space.

What makes Aura IV different?

Aura IV blends tattooing with a fine art gallery experience. Our space is designed for comfort and creativity, with artists often tattooing or painting in a very actively creative environment. The rotating gallery, community events, and collaborative environment distinguish us as more than just a tattoo shop — and what has given us recognition as a nationally recognized, published, high-end studio in Austin, TX.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Tattoo pricing is based on each artist’s hourly rate and varies by design complexity, size, and placement. Aura IV artists charge $150–$200/hr.

Final pricing is discussed during consultation and booking.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes — artists require a non-refundable deposit to secure appointments. Deposits usually apply toward the final cost of the tattoo. Confirm details with your artist on their policies and methods of payment.

What is your cancellation policy?

We ask that clients be mindful of our artists’ time, providing 24–48hr notice if they need to reschedule — helping to make sure artists can adjust schedules and plan accordingly, as we try to accommodate all of our clientele equally and fairly.

Each artist’s cancellation policy may vary, so please confirm when booking. Deposits are often non-refundable for late cancellations or no-shows and upheld by our studio ownership and management, as we value our artists’ energy.

Can I choose which artist to work with?

Yes — you can indicate which artist you’re interested in when submitting your inquiry. If you’re unsure who might be the best fit, our team is happy to talk with you and help choose based on the style and project you’re seeking.

Please send general information to us, and via discussion we can help determine which of our resident artists would be the best fit based on design, style, timeline, etc.

Do you help with design ideas?

Absolutely — Aura IV artists enjoy collaborating with clients to refine concepts and develop custom designs that reflect your vision.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Bring anything you may need, or that you and your artist have discussed. Snacks and hydration are key — we also offer complimentary drinks, snacks, candy, etc. and our shopping center has much to offer.

Will I receive aftercare instructions?

Yes — your artist will provide aftercare guidance at the end of your appointment to ensure proper healing.

VITALTREE is a premier aftercare company and what we offer to our clients.

Do you host events or exhibitions?

Yes — we regularly host exhibitions, workshops, and community events that bring together local and visiting artists.
