About Black Shamrock
A shop built on craft and community
Black Shamrock has been part of the Stillwater community since 2014. We're a shop built on continuing education, mutual respect, and a genuine love of the craft. Whether you're walking in for your first tattoo or your fiftieth, you'll find a space that's safe, welcoming, and free of judgment.
We take pride in creating an environment where everyone — young, old, and LGBTQ+ — feels like they belong.
Austin Woodliff founded the shop with a simple belief: that a great tattoo studio should feel as comfortable as it is skilled. A decade later, that belief drives everything we do — from the work on the walls to the way we talk to every person who walks through the door.
Why Black Shamrock
Safe & Professional
Clean shop, clean practice. We follow rigorous hygiene standards and use single-use equipment for every client, every time. Your health and safety are non-negotiable.
Welcoming to All
First tattoo or fiftieth — nervous, excited, or somewhere in between — you're in the right place. We make space for everyone and meet you where you are.
Non-Judgmental
Your body, your choices. We don't do unsolicited opinions on placement, style, or anything else. Come with your idea and let's talk about how to make it great.
LGBTQ+ Affirming
Black Shamrock is an affirming space. You're welcome here exactly as you are — no asterisks, no fine print.
Continuing Education
Our artists invest in their craft. Conventions, seminars, and ongoing study keep our work sharp and our clients confident they're getting the best available in the region.
Community Roots
Stillwater is home. We've been part of this city for over a decade and we're proud of it. The shop reflects the community — diverse, unpretentious, and genuinely good.
