Diablo Body Piercing and
Oni Tattoo will share a shop slated to open next week at 2501 E. Cesar Chavez St.
This will be the third Austin location for Diablo Body Piercing, which offers professional grade, American-made piercing jewelry. The piercing staff is composed of five piercers but will soon increase to seven as workers rotate among locations.
Two tattoo artists will also work out of the Oni Tattoo space in the same building. An exact opening date has not been determined. Management will announce the official opening via the company's
Facebook page.
