Over the last five years, Southbound Tattoo has been proud to grow alongside Waxahachie — building a shop rooted in craft, community, and a genuine love for this town.

When we opened our doors, our goal was simple: create a clean, welcoming studio where people could get work they’re proud to wear for life. Five years later, that mission is still the same — but the impact has grown. We’ve had the privilege of serving thousands of clients, helping first-timers feel comfortable, collaborating with long-time collectors, and creating custom pieces that mark milestones, memories, and new chapters.

We’re honored to have been recognized as Waxahachie’s Best Tattoo & Piercing Shop in both 2024 and 2025, and we see those awards as a reflection of the trust this community has placed in us — and the standards we work to uphold every day.

Beyond the shop, we’ve made it a priority to show up for Waxahachie. Whether it’s supporting local events, partnering with downtown initiatives, or helping bring energy and visitors into the city through celebrations like Hachie Gras, we believe a strong small business should contribute to the place that supports it. Waxahachie isn’t just where we work — it’s home, and we’re committed to doing our part to keep it vibrant.

Most importantly, we’re grateful. Five years in business doesn’t happen without loyal clients, supportive neighbors, and a city that believes in small business. Thank you to the Waxahachie and to everyone who has walked through our doors, shared our name, and helped us become part of the fabric of this town.

Here’s to the next five years — continuing to raise the bar, continuing to serve, and continuing to represent Waxahachie with pride.
