I love everything about this studio. Nice and clean with a very comforting, homey feel to it (artists home). The artists here are high quality artists, and specifically Nico. Ive only known Nico for a few short weeks if even and Ive already gotten not one, not two, but three AMAZING pieces of permanent art from her.Her skill is unmatched. Calling her a natural would be an understatement. She is a true artist through and though. I am covered in tattoos from a dozen different artists from over a decade and she by FAR outdoes all the others. I am proud to be one of her new regulars Thanks, Nico, Ill be seeing you once again sooner rather than later!

We went to two shops before these guys and were ignored or not impressed with the people in the shop.Chano, Nico and the other people here were very welcoming and professional.Nico did my piece and she did great. I love it snd hope to return to get something else done.

My fiancé and I were on vacation in Galveston last week and decided to get tattoos to commemorate our time there. Chano did my lighthouse and I absolutely love it!! I give 5 to him!! However, the girl who did my fiancés tattoo was clearly not very experienced. At first glance it looked great but once we got back to the hotel we noticed all the flaws: the black lines were of different thickness, the red outline looks like it was drawn on with crayon by a 1st grader, and she added a line across the middle square that shouldnt have been there. It was very disappointing and he will now have to pay to get it fixed!!

Im a frequent customer of The Tattoo Shop, my tattoo artist of choice is Kevin Flores. Ive received several tattoos from Kevin now and I can say Im more than happy with each of his pieces. Kevin is pleasant to work with and is more than helpful when it comes to making a tattoo your own. Ive never had a bad experience when visiting the shop or with the healing process of any of my tattoos. He is definitely my go-to artist when I get the itch for new ink.

My girlfriend got a tattoo by Nico, she did awesome and Chano fixed and covered the tattoos on my fingers, they both did an excellent job and Chano was very gentle. Well definitely be back next time we come to Galveston. Thanks guys. Will and Jodi

Awesome shop. I was in town with my family and this by far the cleanest, most inviting shop on the island. Chano took a simple drawing I had,cleaned it up and added some great detail for a nice mermaid on my shoulder. Call them for an appointment if you can and its definitely worth it.

Chano is an artist. The quality of his work is amazing. If you want a cheap tattoo don’t waste this guys time, he is a true professional. He did my first tattoos when I was a young girl and 25 years later he’s adding on. Don’t let anyone else touch your skin!

I dont make a habit of going to just any Tattoo Shop. Ive been getting tattoos for 25 years and have always used the same great tattoo shop in the state I live. I was visiting Galveston for vacation with a girlfriend of mine. I visited a few shops on the island and none were as nice as this one! Their decor is pretty cool too! The service and advice provided was just what I wanted to receive from an artist. His work was even better than imagined. Im super happy we decided to get our matching tats here. Thanks! Were more than pleased!!

This is the best place to get a tattoo done. For my first tattoo Chano did great and he was straight forward and very nice. My tattoo came out way better then I imaged. Chano hooked me up. So if you’re looking for a good price, great tattoo, and a good laugh Chano is your man.

After getting a half-arm tattoo from Chano at the Tattoo Shop, I cant say enough about just how professional and fun an environment that is present at The Tattoo Shop. I brought in a picture of a tattoo I wanted, let Chano and his artistic talents take control/drastically improve the design, and I couldnt be happier with the results. A++ service. If youre getting a tattoo, just go here

Review №36

I have gotten several tattoos done by Chuck. He is one of the greatest tattoo artist I have ever encountered. During my first tattoo (2013), I was extremely nervous, but Chuck made the whole experience brilliant. He explained everything out to me, talked me through the entire process and was one of the nicest people I have met. I would recommend him to anyone. He is really skilled at photo realism. I have since had several tattoos done by him. All of which are photo realism. Chuck was able to take my idea and turn it to reality better than you could imagine. He took the time to draw the tattoo and asked for my input to ensure I was satisfied and comfortable before we began. I was thoroughly impressed with the work and I keep coming back for more. Chuck continues to go above and beyond my expectations. A tattoo some is something that will last a lifetime, so be sure youve got the right artist...luckily Chuck is the right guy for the job.

Review №38

The gentlemen at the front desk was incredibly rude and acted like our presence was an inconvenience. You’d think when 4 sober people walk in and want to give you their business two hours before closing, they would want to accommodate. He quoted us an outrageous price for a very small, simple image and was not willing to negotiate. Thankfully we were able to go somewhere else in town and get our tattoos with a friendly staff for half the price....and it looks great!

Recently came here to get a tattoo done. The artist Julian was able to excecute my idea for my tattoo perfectly! I had an overall amazing experience from the actual tattoo to having great conversation with Julian and his coworkers. If you’re looking for a clean and friendly shop then I definitely recommend coming to this one!

I had visited this shop in the summer and had work done by Chuck. He did a great job, the coloring and detail were perfect. I recently went and I was able to experience Kevins work. He did a great job as well. He was able to help me add detail to my ideas. He also touched up a previous tattoo I had gotten done at another shop. He was able to blend the colors and shading very well. I would highly recommend this shop! Great job by both artists Chuck and Kevin. The vibe in the shop is awesome, they are all willing to help and add advice without pressuring you. I will be visiting the shop soon again.

The guys that I met (Chuck & Kevin) were nice!Chuck was booked throughout the week and we were only visiting Galveston for our honeymoon and wanted to get a couples tat.Chuck told us to call/text Kevin to see if he had any available openings the next day and he did ..asked what we wanted how big and where. Not rude at All! Let us see the sketches he had come up with and ran his ideas by us and vice versa and made sure we liked it and if we wanted to change or adjust anything.The customer service from these guys is awesome.The shop is kept clean too! A lot of construction going on on the streets surrounding it but its temporary.My husband and I were very pleased!Great work & attention to detail!

I’ve received quite a few pieces from Julian over the last year or so- super quality artist! 3 of my last tattoos have been walk ins and Julian has found time for me the same day- his work has healed perfectly, and I’ve never needed a touch up. I would absolutely recommend this guy to anyone looking to get tattooed!

Chano is an awesome tattoo artist who always makes each session a fun time and makes an effort to ensure that the client is comfortable and not in pain. The shop has been extremely clean and professional all three times I have been there and I plan to continue going there for future tattoos. If you are ever looking to get a tattoo in the Houston/Galveston area, this is the place to go.

My first experience getting a tattoo and Chano was the Man! Hes exceptionally talented, no BS about him. He will tell you if it works or not and gets down to business.

I have been to the tattoo shop several times and I love it my tattoo artist is Chuck Jones he does an amazing job. He has done all my tattoos which include a beautiful portrait of my dad and a stairway to heaven. He comes up with unique tattoo designs that no one else will have he is a great tattoo artist and the shop is always clean and professional.

Review №61

Chuck Jones is one of the most amazing artists -- tattoo or otherwise -- who Ive ever met. I brought him a little rough draft of an idea I had in mind and left it with him. He called me a few hours later, and showed me the most beautiful, awesome and amazing pictures Ive ever seen. I got the tattoo to wrap almost all the way around my calf. I have plans to return to him soon, to touch up some color on some old tattoos, but to give me another new tattoo, also. I cant wait to visit him again and show me his interpretation of what I have in my mind. I dont doubt that it will exceed my expectations. I would -- and have --- referred numerous people to go see him. I think Ive given away probably 20 business cards that he sent with me. They all went to people I didnt know, but who would take the time to approach me and ask about the beautiful tattoo that he did.

Review №63

This place is absolutely amazing. The people are friendly, the entire place is extremely clean, and they make hygiene and sanitation their top priority.Before I found this place, I received a shoddy tattoo from another location, and it left me feeling wary of local artists. After lots of conversation with a friend, I listened to her recommendation that I go in and meet with Kevin Flores about getting another tattoo, and Im so glad I did!! He answered all my questions, made sure he understood exactly what I wanted, and kept my comfort during the tattooing process at the forefront.18 months later, I have had multiple tattoos done by Kevin, and he has my complete confidence. Every time I come to him with an idea for a new tattoo, he works with me to refine the idea and the final product is always stunning.If youre considering getting a tattoo, any of the guys at The Tattoo Shop are great guys, but Kevin is my personal favourite. Youre in great hands with him and the others!

Review №66

The Tattoo Shop, I would highly recommend to anyone getting a personal custom tattoo, a spur of the moment tattoo, even if its a tattoo out of a book and your not creative. Chano and his artists can customize your tattoo to fit you, to make your tattoo unique.The art is original, the shop is clean (sterile), artists with years of experience, the pricing is pretty reasonable and the is environment is inviting. Hands Down, one of best tattoo shops around!!

Review №84

I was shocked about the bad service since they have amazing reviews. Rude. I sent a message asking if they could do a ballpark estimate for something I had the exact image, and exact dimensions I wanted done. They sent me, Sorry, no procong over internet or phone. Explained I couldnt physically drive to each shop because Im disabled and got the same response and no response when I asked another question, looks like someone couldnt be bothered to talk. I understand why you want to meet in person as Im covered in tattoos and piercings, but maybe be nicer about it. No other shop had any issues with giving me what range it would cost and everyone else was really nice about it. Youve just literally lost lost the owner thousands of dollars because I was going to use you all permanently.

Went to this shop for my 1st tattoo and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. CHANO is the man. He has many years of experience and awards under his belt so he definitely knows his stuff. I really like the fact that he took the time to sit and talk with me about what would work and what would actually last. Many tattoo artist will just slap on whatever u want to put on u, but Chano wants his work to be quality that will last for a long period of time. I really appreciated that. My tattoo came out amazing and will definitely will go back for my future tattoos. I highly Recommend this shop. Stop in and talk to Chano. I give this shop a “A+++”

Review №89

The shop is great: very clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the artists themselves are beyond phenomenal. While I havent personally been tattooed by Chano, I know a few people who have and have had nothing but compliments for him and his work. Personally, I have a few pieces done by Chuck and I plan on getting more. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease- from the moment you sit down to toss ideas to seeing the finished work. He really cares about the quality of his work and respecting the meaning behind your tattoo (if there is one). He has such a wide range as far as style and versatility goes. If you arent ready for the commitment of a tattoo, he sells his artwork that is just as unique as he is. This is a person who takes a tremendous amount of pride in his work so whether tattoo or custom drawing, youre always going to get nothing but his best.

I got my first tattoo last night and I cant say enough to express the satisfaction I walked away from this experience! Chano answered all my questions and when he saw what I wanted he ran with it. His shop is clean and his penchant for detail shows in his artistry. Because of his experience I sat in the chair a fraction of the time that it wouldve taken others. His prices are extremely reasonable so dont forget to tip! I will definitely be back.

The shop is located close to the beach, is a fun environment and they are reasonably priced. The tattoo artists are very knowledgeable and talented; especially Chuck. He has a serious eye for great tattoo design and tells it like it is. He can take your shell of an idea and completely run with and turn it into something youll love. Ive been tattooed by him three times and hes also tattooed both of my parents. Hes the kind of tattoo artist people will wait a year to get work done by him instead of going to someone else. I get an insane amount of compliments on the undead Dorothy Dandridge he did for me. It doesnt get any better than him in my opinion.

The artists are professional and the shop is clean and bright. Chuck Jones was easy to work with. He drew up exactly what I wanted. He is artistic and fast. This was my first tat by Chuck but not my last. Chano Zuniga did most of my work which I still love. You cant go wrong with either of these guys.
