Fantastic experience: Billy Mack did 4 pieces for me this weekend - entered into the tattoo convention contest and took home 4 awards including best of show colkr and black and gray! Billy was awesome, insanely clean lines, the color theory that went into his color choices made my pieces really pop, and the black and gray portrait piece of my dog (rip) looked so realistic me and my mom were bawling. Also have to say- he was so gentle i didn’t even have to ask for breaks. Incredible experience and I’m excited for more!

Fantastic experience: Just got a Tanjiro upper arm tattoo today and Rick was the one who did it. Love this tattoo shop, such a chill and fun vibe, and the tattoo artists are some of the nicest and thorough people I’ve met. Rick went through everything from the right size of the tattoo to adding finishing touches at the end. Definitely will be asking for him to do all my other tattoos!

Fantastic experience: Jay’s creativity, patience, and detail was ON POINT! Could not have gone anywhere else and get this piece created from scratch. This is a very special piece and I couldn’t have gone to a better shop. The vibes and everyone is so friendly. 100000% recommend!

Fantastic experience: I didn't expect my piece to be as good as it is! I didn't have to worry about aftercare with Billy either which is good since I haven't had a tattoo (much less this big and good in over a decade ) Billy had a huge heart for what he does and was my tattoo artist . I'll be back .

Fantastic experience: First time going and definitely will be going back for my next piece. Billy Mack knows what he’s doing I highly recommend booking with him

Fantastic experience: There’s not enough time, energy and words to describe and emulate how amazing KIM is at tattooing art on my body. You’re actually wasting time reading this instead of booking with her. I was new to the idea of inking my body, and every single design, concept and style-Kim did her best and then some. My personality, likeness and style are elevated to a billion thanks to the art Kim created. She’s the fine line queen, the antithesis of divine feminine, and quietly literally the gem of Corpus Christi. I’ll continue to go to her knowing I’m in the most safe, gentle and experienced hands.

Fantastic experience: Finally decided to get my first tattoo and Jay was absolutely helpful and really careful with my tatto. I really loved the vibe of the place and Jay was really informative on the after care,definitely recommend!!

I definitely recommend you to schedule an appointment with them and Jay did an amazing job on my tattoo I love it!!

Fantastic experience: Went in with the idea of getting my tattoo solid black. When I got in, Nick had a better idea for the tattoo and suggested that I got it shaded in. It looks so much better than what I would have originally gotten.

Fantastic experience: Was recommended here & definitely didn’t disappoint. I had a horrible half done tattoo plus a cover up from years ago from a different shop. But Raymond Flores was the guy I was directed to at Purple Ink. He went way way beyond to get this right for me. I mean look at the outcome! Thanks again Raymond!

Fantastic experience: Sarah was absolutely amazing with both her work ethic and her patience, she made sure I was comfortable the whole time and just did an amazing job, definitely made me wanna go back to her again!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Billy Mack enough. His talent and eye for detail are second to none, and he brings a unique mix of artistry and professionalism to every session. From the moment I walked in, he made sure I was comfortable, walked me through the process, and really listened to what I wanted. Billy did a cover-up for me, and the result was absolutely amazing. You’d never know what was underneath—he completely transformed it into a piece of art I’m proud to wear. The lines are sharp, the shading is smooth, and the overall piece feels alive with depth and meaning. Beyond his skill, he’s got an awesome personality that makes the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. If you’re looking for an artist who takes pride in his craft, treats clients with respect, and delivers tattoos that you’ll be proud to wear forever, Billy Mack is your guy. I’ll definitely be going back for more.

Fantastic experience: I celebrated life over the weekend and I wanted a memorable tattoo. A friend of mine referred me to Purple Ink tattoo shop and I felt at home instantly when i walked in. Jay Garza took care of me and answered all of my questions. The end result was exactly what I wanted and it was perfection. Purple Ink has my future business.

Fantastic experience: Gone a few times to see Tattoo Rick, have never had a better tattoo experience. Took the time to talk through the design, sizing, and placement and recommended changes to make sure it looks the best it could for as long as possible. Great guy to talk to and hang out with while he tattoos. All the other employees are always very friendly when I come in, no complaints anywhere.
