Perfection Tattoo is definitely a custom shop. Located in Central Austin, and surrounded by an eclectic residential area, Perfection was opened in 1978 by Bob Moreau. Moreau passed the shop to his student Dave Lum, who then passed it to Chris Treviño, the current owner, in 1992. Treviño, known worldwide as Horimana, has garnered a well-deserved reputation for his amazing, full-body Japanese work. “For the most part, our clientele is looking for larger scale tattoos, serious tattoos,” says artist Carlos Truan. “Every week there are people flying in from all over the world to get tattooed by Treviño. It keeps things serious and interesting.” Staffed with four tattooers, the shop also attracts guest artists, both from the states and abroad. The shop has an impressive tattoo art collection hanging on ...

For those who appreciate a walk down memory lane, there’s only one shop in town to visit: Philadelphia Eddie’s. Opened 13 years ago by (you guessed it) “Philadelphia Eddie” Funk, it was passed down five years ago to two of his longtime colleagues, Jerry Donohoe and Tom Napp. These guys are the real deal for both authentic traditional work and the history of Philadelphia tattooing. “We were introduced to the profession when it hadn’t changed much from the turn of the century. All the secrecy and mystery still existed. It was incredibly hard to become a part of that world, since you couldn’t just open some catalog and order equipment, or expect that someone would take you on as an apprentice,” says Donohoe. “But now it’s a totally different world, ...
Yes, you read it correctly; this shop is also called Philadelphia Eddie’s. “This was the first shop that Eddie Funk opened on Fourth Street,” explains Troy Timpel, who has owned the business along with Furry since 2002. “When he retired he offered ownership of the different locations to the guys who helped run them. We’re keeping his legacy going strong.” Today, Philadelphia Eddie’s Tattoo Haven is known as a stellar custom shop and has gotten plenty of recognition thanks to the work of Japanese-style artist Don Juan and the rest of the close-knit staff. The group produces everything from large-scale pieces to portraits to the old-school, traditional style that put Philadelphia on the map as a serious tattoo town. In addition to running the shop, Timpel also owns Tattooed Kingpin ...
Philly Ink may be off the beaten path, but it’s well worth the trip into the Port Richmond section of the city. The shop, another former Philadelphia Eddie’s, is now run by Danny Emery, who grew up just six blocks away. “I used to get chased out as a kid because I was always coming around wanting to get tattooed,” he laughs. “It’s pretty ironic that I now own the place.” Emery found his legs as an artist at this street shop (he’s been here for 13 years) and fondly recalls the on-the-job education he got from Tom Napp and Charlie Eastwood. “Those guys really showed me the ropes and taught me how to work for Eddie.” The name of the business may have changed, but you can still expect ...
