The Best Tattoo Shops in Houston

Ed is a bad to the bone tattoo artist. He explained everything in detail and did an Amazing job. I will definitely go back to Ed.

Love the artist attitude and cleanliness of his shop. Very professional and explained everything to me before putting my tattoo on.

I’ve gotten tattoos from Vito (for portraits) and Alberto (freehand line work) and they are the absolute best. They take time to go over what you plan on getting and help with placement. Very detailed oriented. The vibe of the shop is just as awesome and it’s clean!! You definitely won’t be disappointed!

This place is awesome. The studio is in a really cool space and the staff are welcoming and professional. I worked with Kayla, and she was very accommodating to my size and placement requests for my tattoos. The pieces are still healing, but so far they’re looking great. I’d recommend booking an appointment if you have any schedule limitations. However, if you choose to walk-in like I did, it’s easy to occupy the wait time browsing Round House Vintage (in the middle section of the unit), wandering the neighborhood, or drinking coffee from Tipping Point (front of the unit). If you opt to wait it out at the studio, I recommend asking to chill in their back patio area. It’s worth checking out.

Very clean and great atmosphere. I was scared cause it was my first tattoo lol but everything went smooth. I’m glad I chose this place, he was communicative about what I wanted prior to appointment, and was very thorough with aftercare instructions. Very professional and real nice guy!

15/10 recommend!
He makes sure he gets you exactly what you want!
Would definitely come back for any future tattoos.

Love this place. The artist is amazing and he makes you feel at home. His work is top tier and he’s very detailed. Great experience i will definitely be coming back.

Ink Capsule Tattoo has ARRIVED!! I came in for a thigh tattoo and absolutely LOVE it!! If you are looking for quality tattooing and a great vibe, definitely hit them up. I’ve known the owner Stain for a couple of years now and his work is simply amazing!! You can tell the shop takes pride in the cleanliness and professionalism of its artists. His attention to detail is always on point and he ensures you are comfortable and well taken care of during your session(s). I would recommend him to any of my friends/family looking for new ink. I plan on hitting him up soon for additional work. You guys are doing great things over there, keep up the work!!!

Had a small chest tattoo done. Stain was very patient, neat, professional, and quick. Always made sure you were okay and asked if you needed to take a break. Everyone in the shop is amazing and very cool. Going back for sure. Would recommend 100%.

I got 3 conch piercings at a big name shop in Houston a few months back but the healing process didn’t go well. I went to San and April informed me the shop that pierced them used the wrong type of jewelry resulting in slower healing and hypertrophic scarring. She then told me what I needed to do and changed out the jewelry for the correct ones. After cleaning and replacing, my piercings have begun healing correctly and are much improved from their previous state. Would highly recommend April for any piercing work you need done!

I highly recommend this tattoo studio. I had work done by @xiaotattoo_xxm and @c.x.dotline while she was working there. The artists are very friendly, the shop is super clean and they do an amazing job! I will definitely be going back for my next tattoo.

I have gone to Chris 3 week in a row after meeting him. In all my years and travels getting tattooed, this man right here is one of the most professional, sweetest, fun, encouraging people in the industry.

On top of that, he is one of the quickest and most proficient artists I’ve ever been lucky enough to get work done by. He works quickly, isn’t heavy handed, and his work heals so great.

The shop is one of my favorite little places to get work done at! Such a private, quiet little place to have a very intimate session. I love the vibe of the place.

Definitely give Chris a chance to do some work on you, I promise you won’t regret the work or the person you get to meet doing it!

Exceptional experience here! Not only did my fiancé get an AMAZING tattoo but the cleanliness, environment, professionalism, and conversation made it even better. We are always worried about people’s ability to tattoo darker skin tones but it came out great. We will definitely be back for more sooner than later! If you’re looking for a tattoo and don’t want to be in a crowded shop this is the place to go. I promise you will enjoy your experience here.

Nadia is a wonderful artist and has been great to work with on my upper arm/half-sleeve over two sessions. I gave her a vision, and she transformed it into reality with her vision. I had no problem extending her creative control; the idea to add colors into the tree was hers and I absolutely loved how it turned out. She is professional, hygienic and her touch with the needle is soft enough for someone who has sensitivities to intense pains. The first session was three hours and I don’t think I would have made it that far if it not for her ability to control the needle. I would definitely recommend Nadia for your next tattoo!

Nadia helped me in so many ways during today’s visit. After losing my fur baby recently, I knew I wanted something special and personal to always remember him by. She took my ideas and helped me come up with such a precious piece that means so much to me. Nadia’s positive vibes and relaxed conversation made the entire process easy and comfortable. I can’t say thank you enough for is one! Over a decade of memories with my puppy and she managed to capture him perfectly. Now, he’ll always be resting on my arm, just like he has been all these years.
*she also makes her own tattoo salve that is just amazing

Great place for tattoos and great artists who are very friendly and patient. Really one of the best tattoo shops I’ve ever been to.

Rob and his team are fantastic! Very kind and fun to be around. The artwork is phenomenal and they are true experts at their craft. Rob really makes the details come to life. I highly recommend, can’t say enough good things about this group. 10/10, will definitely return for my next piece. Thanks again!

Me and My sisters came from Jersey to come here !!! Excellent service, dope vibes. We had such a good time being here. If you coming from outta town or even you from Houston… come here !!!

I’ve been coming here for a couple months now. I don’t live in this area but still go out of my way to get tattoo supplies! Two employees that have been particularly helpful to me are Jacob and Antonio! They both answered all of my questions (and trust me I have plenty) with knowledge and advice about what I should get! And so far, they’ve always had exactly what I needed! I highly recommend this store nit just for its awesome supplies but especially its great employees!! Thanks guys!

What a pleasure it was tonight with Jacob. He knew his ish when it came to tattoo merchandise as well as other items I purchased. I will defiantly be back for all my tattoo and special device needs! Thanks Jacob for making this gal one happy customer!!

Update: Got another tattoo from Ge, it’s healing great after a week. He turned the cave art I wanted into a beautiful tattoo-appropriate design.

I got my second tattoo from Ge and it was a great experience. I was pretty picky about the art and he revised it multiple times to my satisfaction. (A previous review said that they don’t do custom art–I did have photos of my cat’s face, but I didn’t want a photorealistic tattoo, and Ge created the art. IDK if they do art from scratch but I would be quite surprised if they didn’t.) The tattoo itself looks fantastic two months later and the whole experience was very good. He also did a small touch up for free (it only needed a tiny adjustment due to losing some pigment during healing). The price is quite reasonable for the quality and location.

Got tatted by Sanchez a few months ago, super cool guy and very easy to work with getting designs down. Getting tatted again later this month and super excited.

I brought in a painting (something very precious and deeply personal my daughter drew). One of the most important and meaningful tats I have; he was able to capture and replicate it with enhanced improvements. The fine line work was done very accurately. It mirrors the original art work!

Absolutely Brilliant! I couldn’t be happier with Dustin and his artistry/talent! I wouldn’t have entrusted this piece with anyone but him!!!!

Nicole is awesome!! All the artists are talented great vibe, clean, professional- really organized for Friday the 13th! I got two tattoos from Nicole because I was so impressed with the work/art. Very fair pricing!
