If you've been getting tattooed regularly in the Alamo City the last decade or so, then you've undoubtedly heard of Element Tattoo. Located off Fredericksburg near Loop 410, the shop has endured everything from a rotating cast of expert tattooers, industry changes, economic downfall and even a fire in 2009, which resulted in the loss of Hendrix, the shop clownfish (RIP). Owned and operated by Jedidiah Reed, Element Tattoo has risen through the ranks to become synonymous with high-quality tattoos. If you're looking to add to your collection, or deflower your virgin skin, Element Tattoo is definitely your answer to good ink.
