Finally found my guy I walked into Augis's shop with a rough idea and a lot of feeling behind it. I wanted something to honor someone I lost, a person who fought breast cancer for five years and fought it like a warrior. He took the time to hear that, walked me through the design, and asked the right questions until we landed on something I couldn't have put into words myself. The detail is unreal. The eyes get me every time, and the shading in her face and the folds of the cloth are so smooth it barely looks like ink. You can tell he understands that this is going on someone for life, and that this one carries real meaning. He never rushed it, and I always knew what was happening. I couldn't be happier with it. It's exactly the strength I wanted to carry with me. Already planning my next session so we can keep building out the sleeve. Thank you, Augis.

Had my tattoo done November 5th. Since the initial message he consulted and discussed the process with me and my vision. He explained and answered any question I had before booking the session. During the session he was professional, attentive, and offered breaks and treats during the 6 hour session. The tattoo looks amazing and would definitely recommend for any realism tattoo you have in mind.

I couldn’t be happier with the work Augis has done on my half sleeve. From the initial concept to the finished piece, his attention to detail, creativity, and artistic ability have been outstanding. He took my ideas and brought them to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. Beyond the incredible artwork, Augis made the entire experience enjoyable and comfortable. You can tell he genuinely takes pride in his craft and puts passion into every piece. The quality, shading, and overall execution speak for themselves. If you’re looking for an artist who takes the time to understand your vision and delivers exceptional work, I highly recommend Augis. I couldn’t be happier with my half sleeve and am already looking forward to the next session. Definitely a 10/10 experience!

Very talented artist and a kind person, too. I am really impressed with how light of a touch he has and how well everything has stayed! I've had barely any ink bleeding after my last few sessions and the color I got in my tattoo looks beautiful and bright. I'm really happy with how it went!

Augist is the best. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, patient, and attentive. He thoroughly explained every step of the process, ensuring I understood the design, placement, and exactly what would be going onto my skin. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, trustworthy artist. I absolutely loved my experience and cannot wait for my next appointment.

He's just so god damn good at what he does. Scratched out an extremely gorgeous and detailed piece in roughly 6 1/2 hours. Had great bedside manner and when the shop started getting more customers he popped in his ear buds and LOCKED IN. Everything from the design phase and the video call to the step by step meticulous nature of how he operates was fantastic and put all of my initial worries to rest. I WILL be working with him again. 100% would say if you can afford an S tier artist he is more than worth it.

Augis is the best. From start to finish was by far one of the easiest and down to earth people to work with. He did such an amazing job amd made it as painless as possible. This is our first piece we've worked on together and I will definitely be seeing him again.

Very good experience. Loved the design. The execution was awesome. Turned out better then expected. Actually got an education i will use on preparing for my next tattoo.

2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z

Augis is, hands down, the most talented tattoo artist I have ever worked with. What sets him apart is not just his artistic ability and creativity, but his dedication to every aspect of customer satisfaction. From his willingness to work with me to make sure we both had the same vision at the outset, to the way he set expectations for every step of the process, to ensuring that I had the best possible products for aftercare, Augis really showed himself to be invested in guaranteeing that I would be happy with the finished product. I look forward to working with you again in the future. If you want to make sure your next tattoo is something special, something that will really stand out, I can't recommend Augis highly enough.

2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z

Augis is fantastic. I saw his work on Instagram and immediately wanted him to do an arm sleeve for me. He was great to collaborate with to get the scale and placement of everything just right and I absolutely love the work he did for me. Get compliments all the time. He’s super considerate, accommodating and also every session we always had a great chat. 100% will be going back for more.

2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z

Great experience working with Augis. He’s always quick to respond, communicates well, and is easy to work with when discussing ideas and figuring out how everything should come together. I’ve been especially impressed with his skill covering and incorporating my existing tattoo into the new design. The cover-up looks natural rather than forced, and I’m extremely happy with how everything has turned out. Highly recommend him.

Unmatched Technique & True Artistry — Capturing What Matters Most "I came to Augis looking for a top-tier artist to do a photorealistic portrait of my dog, Brixton, who passed away a couple of years ago and meant the world to me. I also wanted to start a new Japanese-style sleeve. Seeing Augis's portfolio, I knew his technique was far superior to anyone else's, and he proved it from day one. The initial consultation process was great; he listened closely to what I wanted and mapped out the perfect game plan. During our first session, I stood up halfway through to look in the mirror, and it instantly brought tears to my eyes. He captured Brixton’s look so perfectly—it meant everything to me. Augis is an absolute powerhouse. He works incredibly hard, stays focused, and pushes straight through the entire session with ultimate professionalism. We are two sessions in with more to go, and I cannot wait to see how the rest of this sleeve develops. If you are looking for flawless photorealism and an artist who executes with perfection, Augis is absolutely your guy."

Augis is a phenomenal artist! Super easy to work with and very punctual on his communications! I gave him a tough cover up project and he delivered results beyond my expectations! I had a great experience with him and can’t wait for round 2! Highly recommend Augis!!!

2026-09-11T00:00:00.000Z

Augis isn’t just a phenomenal tattoo artist, he’s also one of the easiest artists to sit with for 6+ hours. He is great to collaborate with on what you’re designing and he always makes sure you’re comfortable with your selections. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.

2026-09-10T00:00:00.000Z

Extremely knowledgeable and talented. My piece came out perfectly. I highly recommend Augis!

2026-09-09T00:00:00.000Z

Augis used both his incredible talent and his knowledge to create an amazing representation of my thoughts. The work is far more impressive than I anticipated. Augis was professional, informative and an all around cool individual! Thank you, kindly, Augis!

Augis is a talented all around artist! Saw his ad for artwork in Chicago and I knew he was the right artist for my full sleeve! I reached out to him and in no time he began working on my vision. Together we shared ideas on what I wanted. Piece by piece he made it come together beautifully!!! He’s a great person to know and I’d consider him “thee” best for photo realism in Chicago! Not only is he a great tattoo artist, he can also paint and draw like no one I’ve seen before. The whole process with Augis is a great experience. I have plans to complete my entire back with him as well as a full cover up on my other arm! There isn’t a day where someone isn’t complimenting me on the work Augis has done! People also notice the similarity in detail between my girlfriends (which he also did) tattoos and mine. If you’re thinking about getting work done just do it. Book the deposit and start your journey with him! I can only rate him 5 stars on here but if I could rate him 50 stars I would!!!

I’ve gotten many tattoos. Only part I don’t have is my stomach. I’ve had experiences with several artists. Some who I still stay in touch with to this day. I waited to do my elbow to wrist sleeves on both arms last. I knew they would be seen the most and I didn’t want to rush into anything. I walked into probably a dozen shops and contacted even more on ig. Some were rude or unwilling to simply listen. Others never even responded. I came across Augis art by chance and was drawn in. Yes, there are amazing artists out there. However, not always local or even in the country. Travel is not an option for me due to work. So I wanted to find the best in my area in the style I was looking for. Sometimes it seems like you can only find them by luck. What I really appreciated was something only someone who is heavily tattooed may notice. He’s responsive to my messages. We set up a zoom call to discuss my ideas before hand. Willing to allow me to bounce ideas off of him prior to my next appointment . I see far too often people who get an artist who just says yes. When he works, he is strictly dedicated to the project. You’re his sole focus. He wasn’t stepping away for anything. I’ve had artists take numerous breaks/meeting with other clients while working on me making me feel like my 6 hour session was really only 4. We will be wrapping up both my sleeves next week. His work is great but there’s a lot more that this artists offers than just his skill and for that I would highly recommend. Thanks for your work brother.

I have been working with Augis for two years since November 2024, we have finished a full gothic themed sleeve, a half sleeve and currently in the process of a full back piece! A few years ago I was researching artists and his profile kept popping up, I was drawn to his style and work. It was also a huge plus that a phenomenal artist was located right near downtown Chicago, I live 6 hours away in Minnesota. I have driven, taken a flight there or the train many many times, I keep continuously coming back because his work is absolutely worth it! I appreciate his input and how honest and straightforward he is as far as what he knows will flow with the body & what will last long-term! My boyfriend also gets tattooed from him and it’s so awesome when people in public recognize that the art we have on our bodies is by the same artist!! Definitely recommend Augis to anyone who wants lifelong beautiful art on the bodies with intention and flow, as a client someone who is willing to trust the process and know that good things don’t happen overnight, they take time but it is so worth it in the end!! Thanks Augis, Anna A

Augis has been tattooing me for over two years now! He has done my entire right arm sleeve, and so far, half of my left leg. His work is phenomenal! He has amazing attention to detail and the results show. He is also a laid back guy who is easy to talk to, so it makes the sessions chill and relaxed. If you want the highest level of quality with that WOW factor, he is your guy!!

2026-09-02T00:00:00.000Z

He’s a great tattoo artist.. has amazing work… once he starts tattooing you.. he’s locked in and gets it done the right way.. also if you don’t know what you want to get just let him know your ideas and he’ll come up with something .. give you some references.. but over all cool guy.. and definitely getting more future projects with him

2026-09-02T00:00:00.000Z

I decided to do a full arm sleeve...a stoic, Roman theme...so I did my research on the best photorealism artists, and Augis's work came up time and time again! Augis is tremendously talented, but also extremely kind and easy to work with. He explained the process and layout of the designs at every step. I live in Detroit, and I drove the 4.5 hours each way and stayed in hotels, just to be able to work with him...so that should give an indication as to how great he is! I get compliments on the work almost daily! He and I are currently working on a leg sleeve design to start in the new year!
