Our Story
About University Ink TX
University Ink Tattoo Gallery is a premier custom tattoo and body piercing studio located at 100 S. University Blvd, Suite 112, in Kingsville, Texas. Founded on a passion for exceptional artistry and uncompromising safety, we exist to transform meaningful ideas into permanent works of art. Our studio sits in the heart of Kingsville, just steps from Texas A&M University-Kingsville, making us a convenient destination for students, locals, and collectors from across Kleberg County and the surrounding South Texas region.
We built University Ink for clients who view tattoos as more than decoration — for collectors who want craftsmanship, intention, and a clean, professional environment. Whether you are seeking your first piece, a large custom project, a fine-line design, or a professional body piercing, our team brings years of experience across realism, neo-traditional, Japanese, black & grey, and custom lettering. Walk-in tattoos in Kingsville are welcome for smaller pieces, while larger work is booked through a personalized consultation so your artist has dedicated time to design something exceptional.
Our artists are licensed, certified, and trained in hospital-grade sterilization practices, using only premium inks and single-use, medical-grade supplies. Every procedure begins with a digital consent process, identity verification, and an honest conversation about design, placement, healing, and aftercare. We are proud to be a trusted Kleberg County tattoo studio and a top choice for clients searching for the best tattoos in Kingsville, Texas and tattoo shops near Corpus Christi, TX.
University Ink Tattoo Gallery is built and operated by a close-knit team of Kingsville tattoo artists who call South Texas home. We believe a great studio balances technical precision with genuine hospitality — a space where art, safety, and community meet. We invite you to browse our portfolio, meet the artists, and start the conversation about your next masterpiece.
