I just got my first tattoo from Artistic Impressions! I was a bit nervous but everyone was super chill and helpful. BB was very professional, efficient, and communicative. He made my experience very easygoing and chill. He went above and beyond my expectations for my first tattoo. I'm definitely coming back!
Loved this place! Spiro exceeded my tattoo expectations. He tailored my design perfectly and his pricing was super fair for the exceptional work he did. Love my tattoo so much!! Can’t wait to book again 🙂
I came in Sunday evening with an appointment with Jerry , he's a very calm chill guy. He did my tattoos exactly how I wanted them done. I've been coming to this studio on & off since 2016 & have been Tattooed by several of the guys there . If only I could remember their names. I believe Joe did a very small tattoo on me over a yr or so ago . I've always been satisfied with their work. Highly recommend for tattoos !
I absolutely love this place! Hunter took care of me and the pricing was beautiful. I built great rapport with Hunter and all of the staff was very friendly and engaging. I would definitely come back later and have Hunt do even more of my tattoos!!! *Got this tattoo done in May. Just took a photo of it as of today. Still looks amazing!*

Lee López did my belly piercing and it was great. Very patient and explained everything so nice and funny 😁 Thank you
They have a great group of artists
Super awesome, super nice, did a great job on my piercing, def check em out
It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve come here, but I’ve recently gone to another shop and realized what the experience to get a piercing should look like and thought I’d leave a review!I went here on my 18th birthday to get my helix pierced. I came here because my sister has had all of her tattoos done here but it seems like we’ve had similar issues getting pierced. The piercer was very nice, but pierced my helix with a hoop which has STILL not healed because that’s the wrong jewelry. In addition, my sister came here to get her helix pierced twice and it rejected both times. They didn’t check for either of our anatomy’s. I think that might be a good start for them instead of worrying about the money. I also got my rook pierced here and that experience itself was very bad. Once again my anatomy was not checked and I told them that when I got my helix pierced I felt lightheaded so I would like to watch out for that. Instead, she pierced me and immediately wanted me out. Once I paid I lost my vision and my boyfriend had to sit me down and I had to stay in the waiting area for 15 minutes trying to get my blood sugar back up. The receptionist was very nice and did a great job getting me soda and a lollipop, but I never was checked on by the girl that did my piercing. About 6 months later, it rejected. I went to a different place in Houston recently and they told me I don’t even have the anatomy for a rook and that AI should’ve checked. I really wouldn’t recommend this place for piercings. My sister likes her tattoos and hasn’t had a bad experience that I know of, but I can’t see myself coming back unfortunately. I’ve also seen the way they respond to reviews which is extremely passive aggressive and honestly alarming that they aren’t willing to grow from mistakes 🫣
Gabriel brought my old ankle tattoo back to life. It's beautiful! Many, many thanks.

I originally had gotten a single bottom lip piercing by Lee. He was nice and all. Had no problems until after almost a week getting it done. I noticed that the small plate on the back of my lip had “dug” itself in. Felt slightly swollen. I was worried it might close up and I wouldn’t be able to get it out. So I stopped by today to see if I could possibly replace it with a longer stud and have more of a loose fit. A girl I believe her name was Cadin, helped me instead, since Lee wasn’t available.

I explained to her that I wanted a longer stud since the one Lee put in was a bit tight. Get a second opinion on what to do next. She took a look and said he appeared to have pierced it too low, slanted. It’s not her fault, though she was being rough taking it out, caused me to bleed. Not even said sorry. My only option would be was to wait two to three weeks till it’s fully healed for me to redo it.

I told them out I was extremely unhappy. I didn’t want to make a scene, instead I walked out and started crying in my car. I was too upset to speak to anyone else at the time. I’ve been coming to AI for as long as I can remember, not sure if I’m coming back after this.

If I would’ve known, I should’ve just taken it out myself, avoid the trouble.

I’ve called and want to speak to someone who’s in charge of this shop.

The client’s wants and needs is critical in this field of work.

GMUNKY has tattooed me twice; his professionalism, expertise, warmth and demeanor will always keep me coming back. He takes the time to look at the drawings I bring in and enhances them so that they look twice as good on my legs. He has a very gentle touch and he’s fast! He is better than INK MASTER quality!! The man is real damn good!! I am a senior citizen and for me just starting to get tattooed, he makes me feel so good that I chose him!!! GMUNKY IS A GODSEND 😘😘!!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Robert! We hope to see you again soon.
Highly recommend this place
Response from the owner:Thank you, Robin!
Really? If you had reviewed the cameras you would have seen the young lady who was the piercer walk past me. Also, you ALLEGEDLY, told her that I was there for a piercing. You want to tell me why she walked right past me and talked to the other lady. I know why know. Failure to accept responsibility for poor behavior. No matter. I went to a reputable piercer and got pierced. I didn't have to deal with your rinky dink piercer. I'm glad I found out what kind of company you really run.

I walked in for a piercing. No one was waiting. An African American woman walked in after me. The piercer was a young African American lady. She walked right past me and addressed the other lady. I spoke up and said that I was here before the lady. She still took the other lady back first. I knew there was no way I was getting a good piercing there. Really disappointed at this type of behavior in a business.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Sylvia, for taking the time to leave your feedback. We do appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. However, after reviewing our camera footage to investigate what happened, we feel some clarification is important.

When you arrived, you were greeted by one of our tattoo artists and asked to have a seat because our piercer was actively working with two clients. Approximately five minutes later, another customer in green came in and explained that she only needed jewelry inserted into an existing piercing. About two minutes later, our piercer finished with her two clients and, after checking them out, initially did approach the other customer in green.

You did speak up and let our piercer know that you had arrived first. At that point, she immediately got your ID and sent you the required paperwork to complete. Since you needed time to fill out the release form, our piercer took the other customer back to simply reinsert her existing jewelry. You left the studio approximately five minutes later. Our footage shows that the jewelry insertion was completed two minutes after you left.

We understand how the situation may have appeared from your perspective, and we acknowledge that our piercer initially approached the other customer incorrectly. However, there was no intention to disregard you or provide preferential treatment. We were actively trying to accommodate both customers while allowing you time to complete the required paperwork.

We’re sorry you left feeling disappointed, but we wanted to provide the full context of what occurred based on our review of the footage. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify.
Drove 45 minutes to get my son ears pierced called before was told I needed birth certificate and my identification get there they are asking a 14 year old for an ID.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Steph, for sharing your feedback with us. We truly appreciate you reaching out, and we’d like to address a key part of your experience.

When you called our studio, you spoke directly with our head piercer, who explained the requirements for piercing a minor. The Health Department requires us to collect identification for both the minor and their parent, as well as the minor’s birth certificate. (A minor can present a school ID.) These are mandatory requirements that we must follow before performing the piercing.

We understand that these requirements may feel like a lot, but they are in place to ensure we remain compliant with health and safety regulations and, most importantly, protect our younger clients.

We’re sorry if there was any misunderstanding regarding the process.
We have waited a long time and spoke to many tattoo artist but decided to go with AI tattoo - Nick was our tattoo artist and he did the most spectacular job!!! He is extremely professional and his work is outstanding! I would recommend him 100 time over!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the amazing feedback, Anne! We are proud to have Nick as a part of our team.

Everyone here is very nice and extremely professional. Lee did my piercing and he had me laughing so much I didn’t even feel the piercing. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting us with your piercing, Teresa. We hope to see you again.
Ask for Lee, he did a great work. Very clean professional shop. I had my first piercing done here and Lee did a great job explaining how to care for it and let me know every step of the way what he was doing. Very fair open pricing with zero pressure or upsells.
Response from the owner:Thank you for coming to see us, Jason! We hope to see you again soon.
Response from the owner:Thanks you!
