Canada's largest tattoo and piercing chain, Steel N Ink, brings its upscale experience to the United States with new Austin studio.
AUSTIN, TX, November 13, 2025 --- Steel N Ink, Canada's leading tattoo and piercing chain, is set to open at Barton Creek Square in late 2025, marking the brand's U.S. debut after two decades of growth.
The brand's founder, Jamie Randolph, pioneered a new model for body art, establishing studios in premier shopping centers to make tattoos and piercings more accessible. To launch this stateside expansion, the Austin studio will be led directly by Jamie and his team, bringing the exact same standard of artistry, safety, and customer care that Canadians have trusted for years.
The Austin studio was built with two things in mind: your comfort and Steel N Ink craft. It's a clean, contemporary space outfitted with premium equipment for the artists and a gorgeous display of luxury jewelry for you to explore.
"We couldn't be more excited to bring Steel N Ink to Austin," says founder Jamie Randolph. "We've spent decades refining a combination of premium artistry, a welcoming atmosphere, and strict safety standards. Our goal is to provide Austin with the same trusted experience our Canadian clients love. This is just our first step in the U.S., and we're here to make a big impression."
The new Steel N Ink Austin studio will offer the full range of Steel N Ink's popular services and promotions, making high-quality body art accessible to a new audience. Clients can look forward to:
- Expert Tattoo Services: Custom designs created by skilled artists in a clean, comfortable setting.
- Professional Piercing: Utilizing the highest safety standards and premium jewelry.
- Popular Weekly Promotions: Including $30 Piercing Wednesdays (before tax and jewelry cost) and Free Piercings every Sunday with the purchase of any gold jewelry over $100.
This expansion follows a period of accelerated growth for Steel N Ink, which has recently upgraded its concept store in key Canadian markets and has recently entered Newfoundland, Quebec, and Alberta.
The new U.S. flagship is supported by a dedicated website, https://us.steelnink.com, which will be live ahead of the opening.
