“Went in for Friday the 13th specials impromptu while on vacation in town. Was able to pick my own design from online & not pressured to get one of their stencils. EXTREMELY well priced. The staff was very friendly, worked efficiently and did GREAT work. Shout out to Nats! 15 minutes on the table.

Cleanliness: Very clean space. Great ambience“

“Anthony is a great piercer. Fast and professional, but without the pushy, intimidating attitude some pros have

There are plants everywhere and black art all over the walls. Black excel at its finest! Really proud of this place and what it stands for! Best place you could go!

“First time being here. I went in as a walk-in. Spontaneous decision. I didn't know they opened at 2p honestly. I just showed up, but I highly recommend 100%. They're so friendly, and clean. Also, very informative to other people's needs as to mine. Anyway, I was really happy with my tattoo results today with Mj Ultra. She was super cool on what I wanted and explained how the picture I brought in and drew up something so simple, but elegant. Rule of thumb want detail, go a little bigger ? Anyway, this place is amazing. I grew up in Garden Oaks in the 80s, and to have this here in heart the heights not far from me, I absolutely love. Please get a tattoo here that you trust. Also, affordable. Thanks again!!“

“I am completely pleased with my tattoo I got with the owner Amber. I have planned this tattoo for 15 years looking for the right person to do it, it is not just a tattoo its a memorial to someone special in my family that represents brotherhood to me. Looking forward to go back to get the one that will be respecting my roots, my history and my family.“

“When it comes to art and tattoos I am very specific on what I like and want. I searched for close to a year for someone to put my idea into a tattoo mock up. Henry at Black swan did exactly that. He was rapid to respond and immediately got what I was asking of him. His professionalism throughout the process gave me so much comfort. When you walk into Black Swan you feel such a calm vibe from the decor to the background music. The vibrancy of the colors they have available definitely let you know they can make art works. I am so happy with Henry's work. I can't wait to travel more to add more to my tattoo. They have many tattoos artists that can accommodate multiple styles of tattoos hit them up like yesterday yall!!“

Babe, xoxo_p69 is the piercer who did it and she was so comforting when I asked her for placement and told us how to clean it and everything plus her room is so cute and such a vibe!! I was so excited I forgot to ask her name but she was definitely super professional
Go here !!!!“

“I’ve gotten a good amount of ink from Ivan and can say he will be my permanent artist! Great pricing for the work that he does, has a good reputation and is down to work outside the box? 10/10 highly recommend“

“If you are looking for REAL tattoo artists THIS is the place!!! Got a tattoo on a intimate area, Rob made me feel very comfortable and the way everyone educates you on tattoos lets you know they are true artists.

Requested style: My piece was a coverup and was executed beautifully.

Cleanliness: Place and artist ate clean and sanitary“

“I have been customers of Rams 10 years now and he’s done 2 tattoos for me, one was a name cover-up and I love art & the creative process he goes the extra mile as not just a form of self expression but mine also were done in memoriam and my “hamsa”holds spiritual meaning for me as well after a trip to Jerusalem the holy land I found it as a universal symbol with multiple meanings for many different cultures & I dig the power of meditation so it is a focal point for my spiritual journey. Tattoos can be this beautiful art form that we carry with us everyday and each one tells a story. That is why Ram is a top choice when looking for a tattoo artist because he also is this phenomenal artist and he also never does the same tattoo twice so you’re never going to find someone else walking around with a replica. He likes to make each design or art piece unique to each individual client. Being an artist allows him to customize every piece to get exactly what his clients are looking for.“

“I was referred to KT for an upper arm piece. Went in for a consult and she was amazing. Helped me pick out something to go with my other tattoos on my arm and was very helpful. On the day of my appointment she was excited about doing my tattoo and had a great aura about her. The shop was very clean and her station spotless. The tattoo came out 10x better than I thought. I will go back to her every time now. HIGHLY recommend“

“Wife and son got ears pierced here on our way back to Dallas, great experience, clean and very professional. Highly recommend“

“All I have to say when you go to Jesus it’s quality work and the environment is to its finest. You will not be disappointed when you book your appointment with him.“

“A professional with attention to detail. Very down earth. Everything is measured and sanitized. They know that they are doing.“

“I am so happy to have come to Grim Cat Tattoos! Lucy is amazing and so talented. I needed to get a cover up on my wrist from a faded out "bad decision" I made 20 years ago. She was not only able to help me with that but more importantly, she helped me honor the memory of my son who passed in 2010. I now have a beautiful swallowtail butterfly that looks like it just landed on my arm! I am so grateful for the experience and opportunity to work with her developing the final piece and then sitting down for a great talk that felt like catching up with an old friend. Lucy and Stephen, the co-owners, are really special. I can't recommend them enough. Stephen did a tattoo for my husband while I was getting mine done and his looks EXACTLY like he wanted it. He is so happy he can't stop smiling and admiring it! We will be back for sure to add some new ink and freshen up some older stuff. Thank you Lucy and Stephen for your time and talent! You have a great shop that's both inviting and safe. We appreciate you guys so much!“

“I went to Mike with an idea for a tattoo in memorial of my recently passed husband. He far exceeded my expectations. This was my first one and he made it a very pleasant and therapeutic experience. Thank you.“

“Very laid-back environment with no pressure on time or design ideas. They even help with suggestions and modifications. Definitely will be coming back to this shop for sure.

Requested style: Looked up art for finger tattoos. I don'tvery really know what to pick or how to choose the right one, but they have helped me pick the perfect one.

Cleanliness: Very, very clean ?? ?? shop, no exaggerations.
Smelled wonderful kind of like home.

Stylist: I hate I can't remember his name I was a little bit lit but I will definitely update once I go back and get a tattoo again.“

“I had been looking for an artist who's vision met mine and Stephanie's work on the arm of an aquaintense caught my eye. She has been working on me for about 6 months and has not disappointed! Her artistry and technique are the best I've had the pleasure to work with. Always a charmer, she never lets me down with a story or a little token from her travels.“

“Got my first tattoo done here. Prices were absolutely amazing, and he gave me a snack because I was getting the munchies. I was also in minimal pain. I really enjoyed my time here.“

“Very clean environment. The lady who did my daughter's henna was very polite. Highly recommended!“

“Everlasting tattoos was the perfect place for my partner and I to get our couple tattoo! We moved from California and have gotten many tattoos over there, but we had yet to get any here in Houston and find a tattoo shop. Anthony was the perfect choice for getting some super great fine line tats! He was friendly from start to finish and very helpful in picking out our font and making sure we were happy with our choices. The fine line work is spot on! The studio itself was chill, good vibes and very welcoming! We're stoked on our newest addition to our tattoo collection. We got coordinates to the place we first met- my partner is latitude and I'm longitude. It's the next day after the tattoo and they're both healing great! Would definitely recommend this hidden gem! :)“

“Got my Vertical Labret (4 days) didn’t deal with any bruising or bad swelling to the lips as people usually say. I’ve been cleaning and taking care of it twice a day and the piercing feels perfectly fine with little to no pain at all, even when being moved. He did give a long bar so my piercing would have some space to heal which was very professional! Such a down to earth and comforting person“
