Travis Johns.
Travis Johns is an award-winning tattoo artist with 16 years of experience. He specializes in illustrative, neotraditional, geometric, and realism styles, bringing a versatile skill set and artistic eye to every custom piece at Pigment ATX.
Travis 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 ATX can confirm artist fit, timing, and the next step for the piece.

08How Travis works
Travis is a resident artist at Pigment ATX (16 years). Travis's focus runs through Illustrative, Neotraditional, Geometric and Realism, and every piece starts with a real conversation about placement, scale, and how the design needs to age over time. Clients come from North Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, Lakeway, and Pflugerville, and most pieces are scheduled one to three months out from the consult. Bring references that show what you like and what you want to avoid; that brief is what shapes the first drawing.
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 thereTravis can flag what will translate well, what won’t, and how the piece needs to flex with movement over the next ten years.
Custom, never flash
Travis draws to your brief, not from a wall sheet. First drawings go out a week or two after the consult. From there the work moves through a revision round, sizing, stencil placement on the day, and a session plan that accounts for the area, the skin, and how detailed the line work needs to hold up over time.
Heal, follow-up, refresh
Leave the studio with a written aftercare plan specific to the placement and style. Touch-up policy covers the first session’s work. Future refresh or cover-up sessions are available down the road as the piece ages, andTravis can talk through what that timeline looks like during the consult so there are no surprises later.
