Tattoo artist and entrepreneur Dillon Forte, recognized internationally for his contemporary Sacred Geometry designs, has opened a pop-up tattoo studio in the heart of Austin for Spring and Summer 2025. With this exciting news, Forte’s distinctive artistic vision returns to vibrant Austin for a limited time.

Based in both Wimberley and Austin, Forte recently sold his tattoo ranch and studio to focus on the next chapter of his career—one that brings him closer to his Austin-based and international clientele, as well as the city’s thriving creative scene. He is currently hiring additional tattoo artists for the pop-up and is eager to expand his vision and brand, which reflects his creativity and deep connection to Texas. “Getting back to Austin to run my shop is both exciting and something my clients have been asking about—so ask and you shall receive,” says Forte. “With the growth and upcoming expansion of the Forte brand, it just makes sense to be in the city and close to those flying into town via ABIA and beyond.”

Dillon Forte has been a Texas resident for several years, earning a strong reputation not only for his tattoo artistry but also for his diverse creative ventures. These include canvas work with Flowyoga Georgetown, collaborations with innovative companies like Austin-based Blackdot Tattoo (a March 25’ Shark Tank contestant), Co:Create, and even setting records—such as completing the world’s first underwater tattoo. Forte’s artistic pursuits span photography, painting, and technology. His latest project is the launch of his Sacred Geometry Drawing App for iPad (iOS). He is also the founder of Forte Tattoo Tech, a line of biodegradable tattoo supplies that reflects his ongoing commitment to sustainability in the industry. Most recently, Forte partnered with Andrea DeLeon to release a custom tattoo machine.
