Inkside Tattoo

DO NOT GO HERE. 3 years ago, My girlfriend paid this guy over $200 in advance to finish a tattoo that he started. She got the tattoo to commemorate her sister who past away... We live out of town and every time she went back to visit and get the tattoo finished, this guy would say hes too "busy" with clients to finish hers... Even though shes already paid for it? After 2 years of trying to make an appointment, she finally asked for a refund and this scum never responded to her. Please don't give them your business. There are plenty of shops that probably operate with better ethics. Try Sun City or Pumping Ink instead! Reported the shop to BBB. @madmanmike

Omg this shop, it's employees , it's atmosphere are by far the coolest thing I've experienced in el paso :) I'm from Cali and our shops back home CAN'T touch Inkside... Anyone who hasn't been there should, Marlene is the ONLY person I'm letting pierce me from now on(:

PARENTS WATCH OUT WITH THIS PLACE.THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING THEIR OWN RULES.THEY DID A PERCING ON A MINOR WITH OUT ASKING FOR HER ID OR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. AND IT WAS ALSO CROOKED.

Yay, I just had the best piercing experience in my life:) Marlene did a couple piercings for some friends and I, & were definatley going back. She was so sweet but professional, we all felt really comfortable as soon as we walked in. She was so gentle my piercings didn't even hurt!!(: I totally recommend her to any1 who wants to get one done. I got a couple dermals done they came out super clean my skin isn't even red:). I got a dermal done at house of pain once and the guy gave me a black eye for 2 weeks:/ I'm a waitress so that wasn't very cool. My friends got some gauges done , she numbed them out with anesthetic to make it less painful , they look awesome:)!!!

Got my first piercing here. It was very clean, I was shown all the items which were packaged. Very sanitary. I had amazing service. I was a walk in and got pierced in about 5 minutes after walking in. I'm going back to get my industrial.

i went into the shop on vista del sol today and wanted to have my ears gauged from a 2 to the next size!

however the peircing artist (marlene) ripped both of my earlobes almost compleately!!! they were litterally only held the gauge in by a thread...

now i had to take my gauges out and they needed stitched back together but Mike refused to give out there insurance information so i could begin a clame and have my ears seen by a doctor.... so now i have to consult a lawyer to get the information i need to be able to have my lobes fixxed!!! i recomend that anyone getting a peircing go somewhere else!!!! i would hate for this to happen to someone else!!!!!

any questions give me a call 5672071257

wow i just got the best tattoo ever, thx mike!! i highly reccomend inkside studios, this is probably the best tattoo on my body and i am definatley comming back:) me and some friends stopped by after leaving the mall , i showed up looking to get a birthday gift tattoo and am glad i chose the right place.

I got my first tatt at Inkside Tattoos and was very pleased with the work that Mike did on me. The shop is very clean and I didn't feel like, I better get the hell out of here. Some shops around town are pretty scarey. I feel you too will agree.

I was in town for a funeral. On our way out we decided to stop and get a tattoo. I had remembered being in the shop before so decided to go in and see if we can get a tattoo. The shop was closed but the attendant let us in and said that he could do at least one for us. Mike ended up doing both of the tattoos for us and he did a great job. I recommend this place to anyone! I am planning on getting more art work done by him!

Here is our experience: First trip: we pulled up a picture from the internet for inspiration for the tattoo. They told us to make an appointment in which we did for later that evening and they would have a design. We drove back 4 hours later only to be told that the "tattoo artist" took another job ahead of us because we were 15 min late. Then the girl told us to wait. So we did for 2 1/2 hours in the studio. Then the "tattoo artist" came out once again and said don't worry I can take care of you tonight. They ended up closing up shop told us to make another appointment in which we did; but couldn't make it the next day even though the store sign said they were open; the girl claimed that they had to attend "The Monster Truck Ralley"??? So we decided to ask them for an appointment on Sunday March 1st. We asked what would be the most convenient for THEM...not us...THEM. They both agreed 4:00PM on Sunday. We arrived 20 minutes early only to find out that "the tattoo artist" decided to work on a "WALK IN" even though this was my second scheduled appt. and third time there. The girl assured me that he was almost finished. Then "The Tattoo Artist" came out 30 minutes later only to push me off on another "tattoo artist" that had obviously just rolled out of bed and entered the shop!! Then he didn't have a clue of what I wanted and there was no design for him to work off of... I showed him some ideas and he borrowed my laptop and came out and said it would be tough to do some of the designs that I wanted to cover an existing tattoo. So I asked for his advice and this was his response "something dark, something BLACK"...

Recreational things were going on with at least one of the members of the staff as she made a comment to my husband about what she was doing in the back. They took a 25 dollar deposit from us; made us wait a total of 4 hours and sent us away with NOTHING!!! I intend to report this to the authorities. The only response I was given by the "Girl in the front" was "Hey Dude were just a tattoo parlor...you know; that's they way things go in these places".

we spent 10-15 mins waiting to be helped and the studio was completely dead, yet the guy came out from the back with a bad odor of weed!!

no artist, no portfolios, and who knows whats in the back rooms.

we left. i dont recomend this shop

this is a perfect example of inexperienced artist, i have seen the work that comes out of this studio and its not only bad, its horrible.

this shop is less than 6 months old and you can see that the work reflects it!

would not send my worst enemies to get work here.

i ask for licesene and portfolios and was turned away?

beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
