Our Story

Daniel Upton

Co-Owner • Tattoo Artist • Piercer

Evette Ford

Co-Owner • Manager • Piercer

The One & Only Studio 27 is the next step in the evolution of tattoo studios inspired by award-winning Texas artist Daniel Upton.

Starting in the early 90s with his first studio "Dandyland" in San Antonio, followed by the "Golden Apple Studio" on Austin's iconic 6th Street for 10 years of tattoo crazy fun.

The quaint college town of San Marcos, with a river running through, became home. Now co-owned with Evette Ford, we are proud to be rebranded and remodeled as The One & Only Studio 27.

"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."

San Marcos, we love you and are grateful for your amazing support!
