Texas Taboo Tattoos

Experiencia negativa: I had gotten a piercing earlier today and they gave me a bigger ball on the top of my eyebrow piercing and the ball came off they were awful with their customer service I would not be returning

Experiencia fantástica: The piercer was friendly and quick. 10/10 would definitely recommend. :)

Experiencia negativa: I got a $25 tattoo + a free piercing during a promo they were doing via Instagram. The customer service was kind of lack luster, but I cut them some slack since I know they were busy and probably tired. I ended up getting my tattoo and she said I could come back any day for the free piercing even though I thought I was getting it same day. Flash forward, I go in to get my piercing. I had told them I wanted to get a navel piercing. My friend got an Ashely piercing & she was fine and her's healed nicely. She looks great. When it was my turn, no anatomy check was conducted for my navel, the wrong jewelry was put in, and I essentially got stabbed in my stomach rather than pierced on my navel (according to a more reputable piercer I went to not even two weeks later). No infection occurred thank God and I will say that my tattoo looks nice. As far as piercings I would not come here for them. Edit: your piercer did pierce me... and while she was cool, I still didn't get a good job done, hence why I had to take it out. The way in which you reply to your bad reviews is very unprofessional and ugly. Take accountability and stop blaming customers for y'all's mistakes.

Experiencia negativa: This studio advertises itself through AI art. I received a messed up piercing from this location and when I went back to ask how to take care of it, the tech didn’t tell me it was infected just to wash it out. They get you in the door with $10 piercings and you get what you pay for. Multiple people I’ve known who have gone here ended up with nasty infections.

Experiencia fantástica: Ive gotten all my piercings from here loveee them sm everyone is so nice and friendly great prices as well

Experiencia negativa: A bit off, at least i tried tho. Probs will take out to heal

Experiencia negativa: Likely to not come back… Customer service wasn’t the best seemed like they didn’t wanna be at work… but shi I get it‍♀️

Experiencia negativa: So whoever runs their instagram has very poor communication skills so I ended up wasting time waiting for an answer IRL which could have been avoided if they just responded to my question which they left me on seen for and just laughed at me with a “lol” I’m a returning costumer I’ve gotten almost every piercing I’ve had from here even without their promotions I will gladly take my business somewhere else but just sucks knowing I’ve spent my hard earned money here before to these people also the dude with the tattoo on his head I think he’s the owner he does boxing he’s ALWAYS REALLY weird towards females including his female staff on his instagram he posted a picture of one of his piercers and it’s a picture of inside her shirt u can legit see her chest-10/10 would not recommend if your looking for a friendly place who actually enjoy their jobs this would be the LAST place I’d recommend TERRIBLE customer service

Experiencia fantástica: Got my eyebrows done a little bit ago here. Great place

Experiencia fantástica: There definitely the best I love the deals they have and there really nice and patient

Experiencia fantástica: Brown is the BEST. Period. Not only does he make me laugh so much during my session, his work never disappoints. This time I asked for fine line and he conquered it perfectly. ALSO I got my nose pierced by Hazel she did a really good job it’s been a week since my nose piercing and it’s healing great!! Thank you so much both of you!

Experiencia negativa: The reviews for this place are flooded with 5 star reviews from their piercing deals, so this will likely get buried in all of that. I got 3, $5 piercings here a few years ago and they all never healed due to constant infections. Looking back, the piercer was obviously wildly inexperienced. Never get a piercing or tattoo from a deal that sounds too good to be true, because it always is!!

Experiencia fantástica: clean and professional always come here for the best piercings

Experiencia fantástica: Great conversation Great tattoo artist

Experiencia negativa: This place is a scam. I did there $10 dollar piercings from there instagram page. Followed them and shared to qualify for the $10 piercings. I even checked to see if the piercings I wanted qualified under the $10 piercings. I read under the I instagram post that “only snake eyes and septum piercings are regular price” (I wanted angel bites) but when I got there and said I was there for the $10 piercings from instagram she showed me a small chart with very little face piercings options that she said qualified for the promotion. When I told her that that is not what the instagram post said she just repeated what she said. I had to pay $80 for my piercings.

Experiencia negativa: Do NOT get pierced here please. There are more reputable and experienced piercers elsewhere for affordable prices. The BOGO piercing days are not reliable, piercings that cheap are bound to get infected. The staff is very nice but the piercers are not experienced.

Experiencia negativa: This shop is pretty cool but do not get pierced by Annette . I don’t think she knows what she’s doing but acts like it . She did my piercing crooked and with the obvious wrong bar AND she tried charging me to come get it redone . Like ma’am go get better training or learn from your mistakes and keep learning . She even knew she was giving me the wrong size bar too

Experiencia fantástica: I went in the other day and kai was the lovely lady who helped us she was so nice and explained the whole process, kept making sure I felt comfortable, made the whole experience great, AND had her area very clean! Definitely recommend seeing kai :)

Experiencia fantástica: Really good service!! The staff is really nice!!! No one can say anything. I got 5 piercings here and a tattoo and every single one I got healed fine I got my nose on both sides twice my belly and they healed fine! If the piercing is missed place it’s not there fault they show you before piercing it

Experiencia negativa: Let me start by saying very very unprofessional.. I got my nose pierced about a month ago and everyday since cleaning it has hurt so bad like an unbearable pain. I didn’t even think about it till today but the lady who did it did not even sanitize the needle or the jewelry. She also didn’t wash her hands before. I have a nose ring that I got PROFESSIONALLY done years ago and it never did any of the things this one did. No wonder they are $10 because they know how bad of a job they do. My boyfriend also got his eyebrow done and the purple marker looked straight but after piercing it, it wasn’t even on the marker it was sideways. Horrible HORRIBLE service do NOT go here for piercings (edit:) Clearly you can read in the photo you do have to sterilize the needle so I don’t know if yall actually went to school for this because when I got my left side they cleaned EVERYTHING and it healed beautifully. Yall are super unprofessional and clearly the piercers did not go to school for this. No wonder yall do them for $10 I mean you literally get what you paid for. I mean the girl didn’t even clean my nose before she did it. Especially with noses being the greasiest part on the face you should always do that. She didn’t properly clean even my boyfriends and each one of his piercings are crooked and was done by the same person. Yall should be embarrassed.

Experiencia fantástica: the vibes are always fire, and the ladies very friendly. be sure to follow their instagram for good deals on peircing prices.

Experiencia fantástica: Went on a Saturday when they have their $10 piercings special. I was super nervous but the piercer Kai was nice! I got my nipples pierced and she did them quickly. Would for sure recommend

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten my piercings done here and they healed great, and I’ve gotten my first and now second tattoo done by Sinner, he makes sure you like the position and size of your tattoo! He’s awesome and does an amazing job!!!!

Experiencia negativa: Don't go here to get a piercing. Especially if you're taking advantage of the $10 or bogo sale they advertise on their social media. You get what you pay for. I went in for a medusa piercing and it was off-centered. It looks bad. If you're cool with being a guinea pig to the gals that seem to be inexperienced piercers, go for it but seriously, just don't. You'll be disappointed. Save your money and go somewhere else. EDIT to respond to the immature staff member: No one is throwing a tantrum, I'm simply just stating my honest opinion to save everyone else the trouble. Regardless of what I agreed to, people come to you all trusting that you will do your job correctly.

Experiencia fantástica: The workers here are really friendly. I feel lots of piercer/tattoo shops can be intimidating but the employees are doing a good job here. They have lots of younger customers so they vibes are good for that. Update: my love piercing still has issues (8 months later with proper cleaning). My ears blew up after leaving in their jewelry because it must have been coated. Initial review still stands just be aware they have low pricing for a reason.

Experiencia negativa: actually ZERO stars !! Me and my friend went to go get our belly pierced for the $10 piercing sale they had. they used and eyebrow piercing for the bar for a BELLY piercing everyone that ive talked to about it said the bar needs to be longer, and also the piercer told us to sit at the edge of a seat and lean back then she pierced us w/o a clamp ??? they pierced mine slanted ..the picture shows how my piercing turned out and the other on HOW they had us sitting

Experiencia negativa: Went in for the "$10 piercing, but one get one free, 12pm-5pm" promotion... Callled ahead, but the recorded message only states they "only do walk-ins, ONLY, just come by".... Got there and they had "closed" the piercing section for the day, an hour before 5pm... And really rude, on top of that.,

Experiencia fantástica: Brown does amazing tattoo work. Everybody is so nice and make you feel at home. It is a great place to go for you next tattoo. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Got my nostril pierced with brown and he’s honestly the best. He helped me pick which nostril to pierce and was extremely friendly. The whole staff is great and the wait is not too long.

Experiencia fantástica: i came here yesterday for one of their piercing specials and everything was amazing! the receptionist (didn't quite catch his name) was very friendly and kind and my piercer (kai) was very sweet and especially talented. they were very quick with my piercing (nose) and i was probably in and out of the shop in under 20 mins! definitely coming back for my next piercing.

Experiencia fantástica: came in for another piercing by them. i have a crazy low pain tolerance but their quickness and efficiency makes it a more positive experience. was able to change out my helix jewelry and got my nose done! piercer was kind, patient, informative. didn’t even laugh at my crying although i’m sure it was tempting. tip your artists!

Experiencia positiva: Came in today to get my helix ear pierced. I did not wait longer than 2 minutes. Annette was my piercer. Very nice staff and clean environment. I will be coming again

Experiencia fantástica: The customer service was great and the employees really take their time to make sure piercing come out good. I recommend this place to anyone who ask about my piercings since they are so good.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a good experience- went to get a piercing with my husband and the artist was fast and efficient. I will say that they were busy from the moment they opened so be prepared. I will be back for sure

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten a couple piercing from here in the past couple of months. The piercer was very nice, clean, and professional. In the past the healing process has always been weird for me but since I’ve gotten pierced at Texas taboo it goes nice and smooth for me now. I definitely recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: I went today to go get my eyebrow and helix pierced and had a wonderful experience. The staff was nice, and the wait was around 15 minutes (nothing too bad). My piercer was Haze (I believe) and was so kind and took me step by step. The piercing time was less than 5 minutes overall and highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: Brown did a beyond amazing job on my sleeve. He took my ideas and brought them to life with creativity. If your thinking of getting a sleeve, Brown is the only option I can recommend. Texas Taboo Tattoos For life

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best place to get a piercing! They are super nice and take their time. Very understanding if you are nervous too. Anything I’ve gotten done there has healed with no issues! Highly recommend.

Experiencia negativa: The work and “artistry” of this place is a reflection of their horrible staff and clown of an owner. Save your money and go to a better place in town. Horrible line work. Horrible color work. The artists here are terrible but one can look at the standard set by brown and realize—that’s probably why the tattoos here are garbage. The owner is a chooch that treats this place like his little high school. Add a little bit more to that tattoo fund and go somewhere legit with real artists.

Experiencia fantástica: Went while I was in town because I’ve heard such great things! I went in nervous for a piercing but the lady who did it walked me through the whole process and it ended up not hurting even a bit! 10+ weeks later and it feels healed with no problems!

Experiencia fantástica: i have gone to this place to get my piercings done for my ears & let me just say.. their piercers are fast and efficient.. and very clean. You have to come check them out

Experiencia fantástica: Got a dope piece from J. Sinner here. Great work from a great artist! Hope to go back for some piercing soon

Experiencia fantástica: Love coming here , came 3 different times and each time they were very friendly and welcoming . They are great at what they do ! And I was happy with the outcome of each piercing ☺️

Experiencia positiva: Piercer was good, didn’t say anything during the piercing though. I wish they would have given a warning before putting the needle through. The jewelry is too small and I don’t know what to do as it’s swelling right now starting to look inflamed and red

Experiencia fantástica: I got both sides of my nose pierced here my nipples and my top and bottom belly button they all healed real good and I still have them till this day. I highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend coming here, they’re very friendly & sanitary. I’ve gotten 3 piercings with them now & i love every single one of them. Definitely getting more soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely can say I had a good experience here, place has good customer service, and clean place to get your piercings done at. 10/10 would definitely recommend going here.

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the best place to get pierced they always have some good deals. The vibes are great! Great place overall , never had any trouble w any of my piercings

Experiencia fantástica: The customer service was great. I would highly recommend getting pierced there i havnt had no problem when i got my nipples done 10/10 for them

Experiencia fantástica: Great costumer service ! Came in for the 10 dollar piercings and had a great experience. They were very friendly and I will definitely be coming back.

Experiencia fantástica: The costumer service was amazing, as soon as me and my friend walked in we were greeted and the environment is very friendly. The piercings are very fast. We were in and out in less then 10 minutes definitely recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Got this badass shark from J sinner yesterday. Really cool place with welcoming and friendly artists. Also got my ears pierced a couple weeks ago, would recommend taboo 1000x

Experiencia negativa: False advertisment.... So rude . Had a promo for a free piercing with a $10 piercing and didn't allow me to get my free piercing. Lady argued with me and threaten to call the police if I didn't leave because I wanted my free piercing. Most definitely WILL NOT be coming here again and will never recommend anyone to come here . . This is the last place you should come to for Any piercings or tattoos !!!

Experiencia negativa: so unsanitary!! I got 3 piercings done here, a tragus and 2 lobe piercings. My piercer used the SAME needle for ALL 3. I didn’t realize until I look back at the video I took on my phone. I have 7 previous piercings (not done here) and never bled as much as I did getting these (I have a conch, flat, and 3 other lobe piercings.) When she pierced my tragus and went to put the ball of piercing on she dropped it in my lab and just grabbed it and put it on, i’m not sure if she was supposed to sanitize it or get a new one but it felt wrong especially since she noticed I was recording and asked me not to post it. (I wasn’t/won’t just wanted to show my bf). The deals are nice but go somewhere else!!

Experiencia fantástica: Simply do not go. Went for the promo and came out with the worst experience. Most of our party did not get the second piercing because the man at front did specify you had to write down both piercing. When questioned about it, he started to yell and argue with us as if we were in the wrong? We are new how we are suppose to know? He went on about how we had to previous clients, but nowhere does it state on the flyers you have to be existing clients. I’m not sure if he’s just use to talking to women any way, but by his attitude towards us says it all. I guess this shop is used to young girls and boys coming in and not questioning the promo. But if you are goin to have a promo you need to honor it. First time and last time. It’s sucks for those piercers they wont get returning customers because of this man at the front. Would not recommend. Please young people go somewhere you are going to be respected.

Experiencia fantástica: Details when going to the shop for the $10 promo: 1. They say it’s not for the public but only people they have done work on (after you question their work) 2. You need to write the two piercings you want on the paper, if not they will not validate the promo 3. Write a google review before you go for the promo 4. Just don’t go. Worst customer service from the owner or whoever mandates the front. Piercers are sweet but if you want to get yelled at or belittled by the owner then go ahead especially if you’re a woman. Overall: Piercers are great, had no problem. But when asked a simple question to the owner, I got backlash and yelled at. Did not get to his level. Lost out on customers and future recommendations. Not a great business environment.

Experiencia fantástica: Great piercers , never had no trouble with any of my piercings from this shop and the piercers were quick and made it a smooth process. Will be coming back for more!

Experiencia fantástica: Got my ears pierced with them really good service and super nice people. They were very fast and efficient, piercing healed really fast with no problems.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gone to Texas Taboo for a few years now for all my piercings! & I always recommend them to anyone who ever asks where I’ve gotten mine done at. They’re clean, dope vibe & nice employees!

Experiencia fantástica: Me and my sister love coming here for our piercings! Great service, great deals! Texas Taboo Tattoos will always be my go to!! Looking to get a tattoo soon from brown nevarez, he does amazing work!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place, all the artists/piercers are some of the most down to earth people. their work is wonderful. I’ve gotten tattoos and piercings here. I will continue to go to them! 100% recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I got my helix done here 10/10 vary nice place and I love the vibes it’s a vary comfortable atmosphere and my piercer was vary nice

Experiencia negativa: I drove 45 mins to get the Monday piercing promo to get here and get charged 60$! I told the girl and she said I had to say it as soon I seen her and she did the piercing without the promo! Wth that even mean, what the difference ‍♀️ honesty it’s everything! Lost good clients because of this. Just read all the bad reviews for the piercing lady

Experiencia fantástica: This is hands down the best place to get tattoo work in San Antonio. Professional and clean. I got my both arm sleeve tattoos with Brown Nevarez! He is super friendly and communicates very well. He will respond to you quickly and has lots of experience in his craft, makes you feel comfortable and confident with his work. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place!! Awesome pricing. And excellent customer service. Piercing was quick and painless. Will definitely be returning for more! ☺️

Experiencia fantástica: I got my tongue and nose pierced not too long ago here. They did a great job! The piercers were really nice. Great atmosphere! I've seen tattoos from some of the artists and they are very talented. The owner is a great guy he gives back to the community! I can't wait to book a tattoo appointment.

Experiencia fantástica: i got my belly re-pierced here about a year ago and they did awesome even though i had a lot of scar tissue they made the experience quick and as painless as possible !!

Experiencia fantástica: The people there are really cool and nice to be around! I went with my fiancé, my best friend and her fiancé to get piercings together and we all got our piercings done in about 20-30 minutes total. They’re really efficient and I haven’t had a problem yet! Definitely going again

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place so much, I just got my Ashley piercing and it's so beautiful. The customer service was great. They were very nice and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in one day as a new customer & now will be returning They were very professional, super clean & love that they only let one person in at a time while getting pierced. Made me feel super comfortable and very satisfied with all my piercings. This is the place to be ❤️ Thank you Texas Taboo

Experiencia fantástica: I got a small flash tattoo and it turned out pretty amazing! I had a great experience with the tattoo artist and he gave me great aftercare tips and products to use. I can’t wait to get more tats from them in the future!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional establishment overall. They also usually have shop specials. I've only had the pleasure of being taken care of by a couple of the workers here. Came in to get a tattoo of my friends' logo by the artist @j.sinner_tattoos and he did a great job. I've also been in contact with him about some ink I need covered as well and he is extremely responsive and easy to work with. I also came in and got my snake eyes done by one of the piercers at the shop and she did it quickly and effortlessly. I was in and out the shop in under 10 minutes and was very happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Went there a handful of times. It's always clean and has music playing. The owner is always in a welcoming mood. I RECOMMEND COMING HERE especially if it's your first tattoo and or piercing. Very friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Brown has done two tattoos on my face, and they are absolutely my favorite tattoos that I have. I was so scared because it’s my face, but he did a perfect tattoo twice! Great energy & amazing talent. Definitely will return.

Experiencia fantástica: got my nose pierced today for the giveaway and my tattoo in january from j. walked in asking for the tattoo and they were all welcoming and polite. he did the tattoo real quick and was painless. 10/10 would recommend.
