A Therapeutic, Women-Owned Oasis ~One of the Best Tattoo Shops in Austin, Texas
From Ink to Healing—Find A Sanctuary for Your Story
I craft story-driven ink in a private, plant-filled oasis pairing your story with black & grey realism, bold color, or geometric precision that fits your vision and vibe just southwest of downtown Austin. From delicate black-and-grey mandalas to vivid neo-traditional color, every mark is designed in advance so you spend your session relaxing, not waiting.
Welcome to a Different Kind of Tattoo Shop
Traditional studios can feel rushed, loud, or downright intimidating. I flip that script with a boutique, judgment-free environment where your comfort is sacred. Soft music, natural light, and a 100% female artist team ensure you feel safe, heard, and empowered from hello to final bandage.

let her work her magic... you won’t be disappointed ✨
“I’ve driven from Fort Worth multiple times just to get tattooed by Cora—that’s how much I trust her. She’s professional, creative, and makes you feel completely at ease. Every piece she’s done for me has exceeded expectations, both in concept and how it fits my body. Her studio is peaceful, her pricing fair, and her work heals beautifully. Let her work her magic. You won’t be disappointed.”
hi, I’m cora
I've been tattooing since 2015, and I am passionate about what I do. My favorite part of tattooing is getting to be a part of people's personal growth and self-expression, and I am very grateful for the trust that my clients have given and continue to give me!
I treat every client and tattoo with respect, intention, and patience. I do my best to help my clients be as comfortable as possible. I enjoy getting to know people and have had many wonderful conversations!
Tattoos, to me, are about expression, self-creation, and empowerment. I treat this with care and am always honored to be part of such a powerful experience.
I tattoo in a few different styles: Illustrative, realistic black and grey, and geometric. I love combining different styles into a single tattoo to give it contrast and make it more dynamic and layered.
the Tattoo Styles I Specialize In
A focused portfolio rooted in intention. These are the styles I specialize in:
❊ Black & Grey Realism: From photoreal portraits to botanical illustrations—perfect for memorial tattoos or moody, intricate storytelling.
❊ Neo-Traditional: Bold lines and vivid palettes with a modern twist on classic Americana, tailored to your unique story.
❊ Precision Geometric: Clean mandalas, sacred geometry, and fine-line symmetry that bring balance and beauty to the body.
❊ Cover-Ups: Thoughtful reworks of old or unwanted tattoos, customized to your goals.
❊ Flash Library: Monthly rotation of mini, pre-drawn designs for quick walk-in inspiration.

Frequently asked questions
-
Please see my Contact page. I look forward to hearing from you!
-
I work in a private studio in Austin, Texas. Address and details are in The Studio page
-
Unfortunately I do not, but feel free to send me an inquiry if you’re interested in setting something up in the future!
-
My hourly is $200/h, so it will all depend on how long your tattoo will take.
-
It all depends on the size, placement, and amount of detail. If you are looking to get a large-scale tattoo like a sleeve, it can take quite a few months.
-
I love doing illustrative tattoos, neo-traditional tattoos, geometric tattoos and black and grey pet portraits. I love tattooing animals, faces, flowers/plants, and weird/trippy designs.
-
Color realism, watercolor, lettering
-
I do, but selectively. I will only do a cover-up that I know I can successfully do. Cover-ups are very tricky and are all different. This is something I would need to talk to you about in person to see what the tattoo you'd like to get covered looks like, what you'd want it covered up by, how big you're wanting the cover-up to be, etc.
-
This will all depend on how booked out I am when you contact me. It could vary from 2-4 months.
-
I work Wednesday-Saturdays. I can book full days (noon-6/7pm) or can book half days (noon-4pm or 5pm-8pm)
-
Only if I feel your tattoo concept/design needs more in-person clarification, or if you’d like one to get to know me and talk in person first!
-
Yes, I take a $200 deposit. This is to ensure that you are committed and will show up on the time and date of the appointment(s) we set up for you. The deposit will come out of the final price of the tattoo. If the tattoo requires multiple sessions, the deposit will be taken out during the last session. The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.
-
I always charge hourly per session.
-
I will have your design ready to be looked at and reviewed when you come in on your appointment. We can discuss the details and potential changes at that time.
-
I recommend coming in after a good meal and with snacks. It's a good idea to bring your own pillow as well for extra comfort. I provide water and candy at the shop.
If you are getting tattooed on your hip/leg, bringing a loose-fitting pair of pants or a flowy skirt/dress would be best. -
You can! I have limited space so 1 person max, please!
-
I take cash or cards, but no checks.

“Cora Mylene has been the artist for 90% of my tattoos which range from both arm half sleeves, a calf sleeve, and an epic full chest tattoo. I can’t state enough how amazing of an artist Cora is and each and every time she has delivered stunning designs followed with wonderful conversation to ease the pain of that needle. My advice is to just give her an idea of what you want and then let her do her thing. I promise you you’ll be blown away with what she creates for you.”
