Tanner Riggs.
Tanner Riggs is an award-winning tattoo artist with 13 years of experience specializing in neotraditional tattoos. Originally from Michigan, Tanner has been based in Austin since 2015 and brings a distinctive approach to his work at Pigment Tattoo.
Tanner works with clients across Austin on custom tattoo ideas, reference-driven pieces, and placement-aware designs that fit the body instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all flash design.
The best way to start is with a consultation. Bring reference images, size notes, placement ideas, and any must-have details so Pigment Tattoo can confirm artist fit, timing, and the next step for the piece.

12About Tanner
Tanner is a resident artist at Pigment Tattoo (13 years). Tanner's focus runs through Neotraditional, and every piece starts with a real conversation about placement, scale, and how the design needs to age over time. Bring references that show what you like and what you want to avoid. The consultation confirms fit, scope, timing, and the next step for the piece.
Reference, size, placement
Every consult starts with what you’re bringing in. Reference images, measurements or a rough size, and the placement on the body. From thereTanner can flag what will translate well, what won’t, and how the piece needs to flex with movement over the next ten years.
Design direction
The consultation confirms the design direction, sizing, placement, and what the artist needs before the appointment. Final drawing and revision details depend on the project and are confirmed directly with the studio.
Heal, follow-up, refresh
Ask the studio about aftercare, follow-up, and any touch-up or future-session questions for your specific piece. Those details are confirmed during the consultation and appointment.
