Maverick Meaning & Mascot
Maverick by Name. Penguin by Spirit.
MAV·ER·ICK /ˈmav(ə)rik/
noun: An independent thinker. A rebel. A leader who refuses to follow the herd.
At Maverick, we live by that definition. But we also believe in community — that's why our mascot is the penguin: a symbol of unity, loyalty, and survival through togetherness. Tattooers don't thrive alone — we thrive together. That's why everything we do is built for connection, quality, and culture.

Owner and artist Austin Spencer has been tattooing professionally for over 25 years and running a family-owned studio — Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery in Las Vegas — for the past 22 years. After years of using and testing gear across conventions and client sessions, Austin founded Maverick to give artists the tools that actually deliver. No fluff. No filler. Just the best.
Las Vegas Locals: We offer same-day local pickup at Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery and Uber Eats delivery for fast, convenient access to tattoo supplies.
