Custom Tattoos in San Antonio
Dandyland has been creating custom tattoos in San Antonio since 1996. For over 28 years our shop on Fredericksburg Rd, in the heart of the historic Deco District, has been the city's home for award-winning tattoo art, serving body art lovers from across San Antonio and around the world.
Every tattoo at Dandyland is custom. Bring us your idea, a reference photo, or just the beginning of a concept, and our resident artists will design a one-of-a-kind piece built for you and your body. From bold traditional work and black and grey realism to vibrant color pieces, our artists cover a wide range of styles, and each one maintains a portfolio you can browse before you book.
Meet Your Artist
Our resident tattoo artists each bring their own style and specialties. Browse the portfolios of Josh, Cheese, Dani, Holle, and the rest of the crew on our Tattoo Artists page, then schedule a free consultation with the artist whose work speaks to you. We also host guest artists from around the tattoo world — keep an eye on our Announcements and Events page to see who is coming through.
How It Works
Start with a free consultation
Call the front desk at (210) 432-5747 to check availability and schedule. Consultations are free and do not require a deposit.
Book your session
A non-refundable deposit secures your appointment time and is deducted from the final cost of your tattoo.
Walk-ins are welcome
Artists prefer to work by appointment, but walk-ins are taken seven days a week when scheduling allows. We are open daily from 12 to 7.
Heal it right
Every tattoo comes with aftercare guidance from your artist, and our full aftercare instructions are always available online.
A Clean, Safe, Positive Shop
Since the day we opened in 1996, our philosophy has stayed the same: provide the highest quality tattoos possible in a safe, clean, positive environment. That standard is why Dandyland has remained San Antonio's premier choice for body art for nearly three decades. Watch our Flash and Specials page for available designs and current offers, and check out our piercing services while you are here.
