No Communication Leads to Very Bad Experience
Provided by Citysearch
This place seems to be great at first. The artists are talented. The environment is clean. And generally the attitude seems to be in check. But at the end of the day, this place still gets only one star for lack of understanding and communication. My girlfriend and I went into the shop yesterday (04/08/2012) to get some work done for her. She knew what she wanted, and told the artist who was going to be tattooing her. He comped it up real quick, and it looked great. They put the temporary on her, and she liked it. He started to tattoo her, and at first everything looked great, but then about half way through, we both looked over at her wrist (where she was getting the work done) and the artist had started to do this really elaborate shading/glow around the edge of the design. My girlfriend is not happy with this. It isn't what she wanted, and it wasn't ever discussed or on any of the preliminary designs/comps, and also wasn't part of the temporary that got put on her. The piece does look good, but it's not what SHE wanted, nor expected she was getting. This is the first rule of customer service oriented professions, and they broke it. These guys need to put their egos aside and start focusing on customer service. And even with a large ego, it's one thing to say ""this is what I want to do with your design"" and entirely another to say ""I'm going to do this without even asking you first""

Wonderful Art Work
Provided by Citysearch
My son passed away in a motorcycle accident 2 years ago. I gave his best friend on of his riding gloves. This past week he went and had the glove tattooed on hius right shoulder because my son was his ""right hand man"". When I saw the tattoo it brought me to tears. \r \r I am not sure who did the piece, but I can say that it was awesome. The detail and effort that the artist did was great. \r \r I would definetly recommend Texas Body Art for any art work you may desire to get.

amazing artist, professional, the best!
Provided by Citysearch
I just wanted to say that I have been here twice and each time that I have came here I have only gotten the best out of each artist that I have seen. Jason Coquel did my cover up on my chest piece and he did a amazing job. He is very very good with color and his style is incredible you can tell that this is his passion. My second time that I went I got to get my first and my most fav tattoo done by the wonderful Johnny Jackson, he is the owner of the shop...he did a amazing piece on my right upper thigh in about 5 hours with breaks. He was very much into his work , but at the same time he was also very much making sure that I was okay and if we needed a break here or there. The best customer care a person can ask for. This place is clean, there is no fake artist here they are all award winning and I am looking forward to coming back. The atmosphere there welcomes you and the way the place is decorated is amazing!! If you are looking to get a tattoo this place is it!! There is no other place that will match this place in my opinion and I have been to other tattoo shops I just wish I knew about this place before hand but I was young. I will never go back the only place I will get my tattoos at for now on is from Texas Body Arts! If you want real art, real commitment, and people who actually know what there doing come here!!

Awesome experience!
Provided by Citysearch
I visited a friend in Houston and thought this would be a great opportunity to find a shop and start on that half-sleeve I always wanted. Looked them up online and the drove over too make an appointment. Thought it was funny and coincidental that the first person I talk to in the shop( David Gray), was the best in the the style I wanted ( Black & Gray). I gave him my ideas, visions and pictures from my usb-stick and we talked about the tattoo and how it should be. When I came back and saw the sketch I had no doubt in my mind that this was what I wanted. Me and David got along great and time went by fast. After a few hours with tattooing and short breaks we ordered pizza with some of the other guys at the shop. Halfway through the session we both agreed that we would do the whole sleeve in one session. It took 13 hours of tattooing and it was totally worth the pain. After we got done I got the first draft of the sketch as a gift,signed by David Gray. The environment there was good and I felt comfortable and relaxed even though this was my first tattoo and a rather large tattoo at that. I recommend this shop to the fullest and I will definitely be back to get the rest of my sleeve done! Special thanks to David Gray for his art.

HORRIBLE!!! A waste of money & time!
Provided by Citysearch
All I can say is...this place is horrible, the worst! My experiences there were not pleasant at all. The only pro about this place is the art work, that's it! The service is just terrible, they leave you waiting forever or don't even attend you. I had to go find someone to help me out. (Yes, even when there is nobody in the store..they do this!) & not to mention most of the staff are complete jerks! The only friendly person in the place is the guy that does piercings (I believe his name is...Jason?), that's it. Basically, customer service is the pits in this place. A monkey gives better customer service, what does that tell you? It sucks! The worst, however, is trying to set up an appointment (they have this dumb rule where ONLY the artist who did your tattoo(s), can work on it). Basically, the faith of your tattoo is in the hands of the artist. Well, I was not about to let that happen..After many times of trying to get in contact with my guy who was a complete sleazeball (Jorge) & could never manage to get through, I gave up and found myself a way better tattoo artist who was able to fix me up & not to mention, made my tattoo sparkle (in another tattoo shop, mind you). There are lots of better places to go to than this joint for tattoos, piercings, etc. Don't bother, you'll be dissapointed. Worst customer service ever! And this place won awards!? HA! puh-leez, they must've put on one great act, because they suck! I will never come back to this place again! Thanks for nothing Texas Body Art!!!

JASON = AWESOME ARTIST
Provided by Citysearch
What can i say ?.I was referred to jason by my friend and I'm glad I listened to her! He fixed my tattoo on my left arm he made it more colorful prettier,etc. We started talking about how I wanted a sleeve I basicly told him what I wanted and he just started saying some badass ideas!!! He came up with the colors and placement I trust him and outcome was BEAUTIFULLLLL,BADASS,AWESOME,SPEECHLESS,ETC. Jason = a badass artist for sure!!! Btw he always makes time even on his day off ! That's some dedication!!! Can't wait to get a lot more!

True Masters of their craft
Provided by Citysearch
I found this company while at a tattoo convention in San Antonio. I couldn?t have been more happy with the quality of work and professionalism each artist displayed. The artists (as well as everyone else behind the booths) were friendly and very welcoming, and the attention to detail they display in their work proves they are true masters of their craft. I got a tattoo from David Grey while at the convention and I will gladly make the drive from Baytown to continue adding to this piece. David is a great artist, I do not have any tats from any of the others but their portfolios were very good, that with their professional manners I would feel comfortable getting inked by any of the artists i spoke with. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality and professionalism. When it comes to getting a tattoo you get what you pay for and trust me I?ve gotten some pretty bad ones over the years, but the feeling of leaving that chair extremely pleased and happy with the end result is priceless. Thank you David Grey, for your attention to detail and ability to capture it on such a small scale.

Absolutely Awesome!

I highly recommend TBA. I have work by Johnny ""Inkaholik"" Jackson and AJ. All pieces are beautiful, custom works of art. My bf has a sleeve being done by Jorge Gwooki that is absolutely stunning. Again a custom piece. All artists are very professional and do everything they can to make you comfortable during the tattoo process. Being a chick, this is important to me ;) . I have been a customer of TBA for 5yrs and will never go to another shop. TBA has impeccable artists that can satisfy any craving of art you may desire to put on your body. The shop is awesome with a friendly and very helpful staff. The shop is super clean!!! Again another important factor when choosing a tattoo parlor. Johnny has been known to tattoo famous people and professional athletes in his shop. So stop by.... who knows who you might run into at TBA!!! Thanks AJ & Johnny!!!! I love my art!!!

horrible experience
Provided by Citysearch
My friend recommended this tattoo studio to me for my first tattoo. I waited 2 hours for an opening to get a simple tattoo, I had no problem waiting as I could see most of the artist were busy working on drawing or clients. But the guy who did mine was walking around for the 2 hours I was waiting and went outside to smoke with his girlfriend who was sitting around the shop just to be ""cool"" before he finally came in to give me a tattoo. It kind of irritated me to see him wandering around the shop not doing anything, not even helping another artist; it made me feel like his wandering around was more importnant than taking care of a client. If he was on break or not on the clock yet, he should have stayed in the back and not wandering around front area/waiting area for 2 hours.\r I got a simple green/black nautical star. It took about 30 minutes to complete and he gave me aftercare instructions which I followed.\r 3 weeks after the tattoo was inked, it looked like I got it done in prison. The lines aren't straight, some lines are thicker than others. The green ink barely shows on one point of the star, the rest doesn't show green ink at all and the black is faded throughout the tattoo. One corner of the star is not even there.\r I have since gone somewhere else, closer to my home, to have it touched up and add another tattoo that doesn't look like prison artwork.\r Horrible experience for my first tattoo.

Very dissatisfied with their service
Provided by Citysearch
My hubby and I went to get a tattoo, just to cover up a 4 letter 1/2 inch name. They couldn't do it because they wanted me to leave them a sketch of my tattoo and go back tomorrow so they can come up with something amazing, my leg is not their personal canvas. I felt belittled. OMG! They were acting like the cameras were rolling.Goodness! I would of paid 500 bucks just to get ride of the friggin name. Their loss. Got it covered somewhere else.

Clynt Costley

Clynt tattoos us on a regular basis! We all love him! Jonny is really smart to have Clynt around. This is the only place to go for tattoos. Superchango blows so bad they screwed up a simple flash tattoo and Clynt saved me from something ugly being stuck on me forever!

this place was way different than i expected for a tattoo studio.Last one i went to was all rednecks and they didnt like my race i could tell. Texas Body art was jammin some lil wayne and they all acted like i was just another person. I am so glad i found this shop and I want to thank you guys for making me feel at home.

This is the onlyTexas body Art

I have heard that the old shop they owned is copying the name and trying to get customers from you guys. My uncle is a business lawyer and he said he will handle your case for you. I like hanging out here all the time.
