In Austin, art isn’t just painted, it’s inked into skin, sealed in time, and worn as a lifelong signature.
For Ty and Robyn, the duo behind Bluebonnet Tattoo, presence and precision aren’t optional, they’re survival skills. And just like inking the perfect piece, what they choose to sip is an act of intention.
We sat down with them to talk habits, rhythm, and why non-alcoholic spirits, specifically Tenneyson Black Ginger, have earned a permanent spot on their shelf.
Q&A with Ty & Robyn — Bluebonnet Tattoo
Tattooing requires presence and precision. What rituals keep you grounded before or after a long day in the studio?
Our mornings start in the garden. Coffee in hand, we collect eggs from our three hens, feed the pets, and let the quiet settle in before emails and sketches take over. We avoid alcohol during the workweek, its energy cost the next day is too steep when our clients expect our best.
Instead, we still unwind with alcohol alternatives. At the pub, it’s a near beer. At the studio or at home, it’s Tenneyson Black Ginger on the rocks, splash of soda, and a lime.
Tenneyson Black Ginger made its way into your world, what stood out about it?
Mocktails often feel like an afterthought—too sweet, too safe. We’re not big sugar people. Tenneyson Black Ginger checked every box. Bold, botanical, and straightforward. It works perfectly with how we prefer our cocktails: simple, intentional, and on the rocks.
Your work is bold, intentional, unforgettable. How does that ethos carry into what you drink, wear, or surround yourselves with?
We’ve always gravitated toward quality, not price tags. A great tequila, a well-made watch, the craftsmanship of an Airstream trailer, they all have staying power.
Tenneyson’s quality fits right into the culture we’ve created. What you surround yourself with shapes your life as much as who you surround yourself with.
You both move with intention, in art, business, and at home. How do you keep your standards high while showing up fully for family?
Business can consume you if you let it. We learned to protect our schedule, so five workdays don’t bleed into twenty-one. Evenings are for catching up with our boys and helping guide them toward their own potential.
Why Tenneyson Black Ginger Resonates with Creators
In the studio, clarity is currency. The wrong drink can rob you of focus; the right one can sharpen it.
Tenneyson Black Ginger is a botanical alcohol alternative crafted for exactly that—delivering complexity without compromise. It’s part of a growing sober curious movement that values mindful drinking, healthy mocktails, and plant-based flavor over empty buzz.
From tattoo needles to cocktail glasses, intention matters.
Whether you’re creating art on skin or crafting your evening ritual, what you choose to pour shapes the story you tell.
For Ty and Robyn, that story now includes the bold, unapologetic flavor of Tenneyson Black Ginger, a spirit as precise, grounded, and unforgettable as their work.
