Austin Tattoo Artists You Can Trust

Meet Zac

Since 2013, Zac Grey has been creating bold, timeless tattoos that blend craftsmanship with creativity. A self-taught artist who began his journey in Washington D.C., Zac specializes in neo-traditional, illustrative, and black and grey realism pieces that showcase his technical precision and artistic flair.

At Copperhead Tattoos & Piercings in Austin, Zac strives to provide a relaxed, judgment-free environment where every client feels comfortable expressing their vision. He values connection and collaboration, seeing each tattoo as a shared experience between artist and client that tells a unique story through ink.

Meet Amanda

Amanda Perez began her tattooing journey in the summer of 2023 after apprenticing under Zac at Copperhead Tattoos & Piercings in Austin, TX. She specializes in neo-traditional, illustrative, and fine line tattoo styles, and blends precision and creativity to bring each client’s vision to life. Amanda’s favorite part of tattooing is being able to turn her own artwork into meaningful, lasting designs that her clients can wear proudly.

When you sit in Amanda’s chair, her goal is to make you feel completely at ease. Her workspace is clean, professional, and relaxed. It's a place where you can chat, listen to music, or simply enjoy the process. Amanda is available for appointments via email and accepts walk-ins Wednesday through Sunday, always ensuring each client receives thoughtful communication and a comfortable experience from start to finish.

Meet Miranda

With nearly a decade in the tattoo industry and over five years behind the machine, Miranda Whitener brings experience, creativity, and vibrant energy to every piece she creates. Starting out at the front of a shop at 19 and later learning in a traditional street shop environment, Miranda’s journey taught her resilience, adaptability, and a deep respect for the craft. She specializes in colorful, neo-traditional tattoos infused with vintage flair and bold graphic design elements, while also appreciating the elegance of black and grey work.

Miranda loves the creative freedom tattooing provides and the connections it builds with clients who share her passion for art. Her approach is flexible, whether you prefer a calm, quiet session or a lively atmosphere full of laughter and movies, she creates the vibe that makes you most comfortable. She books primarily through email but also accepts Instagram DMs, and weekends are a great time to catch her for walk-ins at Copperhead Tattoos & Piercings in Austin, TX.
