Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about my tattoo artist. Angel absolutely nailed my vision and then took it even further.

Experiencia fantástica: Love my new sunflower tattoo! Angel’s hand was so gentle, I took a nap while he was tattooing me. I loved his honest feedback about my original concept, instead of just trying to take my money. He made sure to capture exactly what I wanted. Thank you Angel! I’ll be back soon to get my matra.

Experiencia fantástica: Nate is an absolute beast. I have and will continue to only come to him. The tattoo itself is even better than I could’ve imagined.

Experiencia fantástica: The best tattoo experience I’ve ever had! Always so professional, clean, and kind. Will always come here for my tattoos while in San Antonio

Experiencia fantástica: I've been coming element for over 15 years! Jedi does all my work and I'm proud to say he does a fantastic job! I have referred a lot of my friend and family to this shop for great reasons! Element is the best shop in town ! Bravo!

Experiencia fantástica: Halfway through a coverup piece. Cam is doing an outstanding job. Love the line work and shading. I came back in three weeks to finalize the colors.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Great people. BEST tattoos. When I first walked into the doors of this shop about 2 years ago, I went in with an idea for a leg sleeve. Little did I know that I would be changing my tattoo journey forever. (I only had about 3 small designs done from different places). l was first greeted by the great manager of the shop Shelby who was more than happy to give me her opinion on my thoughts for my tattoo idea. From there, since I was interested in a Japanese style design, I was introduced to my artist and owner of Element Tattoo, Mr. Jedidia Reid. Jedidia gave me his thoughts on my leg tattoo idea and we set a date to start. From the first time speaking with Jedidia, I completely set my trust into his experience and skill. Jedidia is an artist who will not steer you wrong, and if he believes your idea could be made better by adding certain details, trust his opinion. He will lead you in the right direction. Almost 2 years ago we started. I thought I just wanted a leg piece, but as I tell him every time I return his words he told me still ring true, “after you get this done you’re gonna want more.” The power and art he gives you on your body will change your life as it’s changed mine; because he was right. After I saw the power of my leg being done I went right into wanting my arms sleeved up, and I’m in the process of my next leg. My goal is a Japanese style body suit and I wouldn’t trust ANYONE else to do this except Jedidia. Every artist at Element has the experience and skill to get you want you want in a tattoo. You will be matched with the right artist who will give you a bad ass experience. Enjoy the ride! Embrace the experience! You will never regret you came and embraced the power of a fresh tattoo. I am more than grateful for the experience and art Element Tattoo and Jedidia have given me, and cannot wait to continue my body suit journey. As the shop says in front of its doors, enter as a stranger, leave as a friend. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible experience for my first tattoo! Came in after losing my fur baby. Angel worked with our ideas and made a beautiful design for us. Shop was super clean. Everyone was so thoughtful and friendly. They even made sure I had a little snack before my first time. I love the collaboration and brainstorming amongst all the artists. So grateful for such an amazing experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience!! Chris kicked ass on my tattoo for my brother who passed. Loved it and the place is welcoming. Will come back again!

Experiencia fantástica: Nate and the other artists at the shop are always so warm and welcoming whenever I come in for work! They are very accommodating and easy to work with, I will always choose this shop when I’m in town and looking for art!

Experiencia fantástica: Happy my wife and I found Element Tattoo Shop! We’ve both had pieces done by Chris Harris and the experiences have been great. The quality of work Chris produces is super! The shop is very clean, and everyone is friendly, which makes visits enjoyable and easy going. The music selection playing in the shop is also right up my alley! If you want high end work in a good atmosphere, check out Cowboy Chris Harris at Element Tattoo Shop.

Experiencia fantástica: Love love the work! Chris is awesome, patient, and very through.

Experiencia fantástica: Angel did my tattoo and it was perfect. Such a nice guy, he really made my experience comfortable. My tattoo looks fantastic. Thanks Angel.

Experiencia negativa: Had a couple hours to kill so went to get a tattoo. They have this "get what you get" coin machine as well as a wheel you can spin for 100 to 200 bucks. Cool, I'm down. Except the artist said he "doesn't really like doing those"... so why have the machine then? Won't be spending my money here. Sad face because looks like they do really good work here.

Experiencia fantástica: Element is THE BEST tattoo shop in San Antonio for a reason. Every artist and staff member is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Nate really knows his stuff, and if you’re looking for fine line art — he’s your guy! Can’t recommend this place enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing service. Everyone in there was great. Justin did great work and was very friendly/funny. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a great tattoo

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely recommend this place, walked in out of a spontaneous decision and Megan was super sweet and helpful with checking in. Nate (the artist) was super dope and funny and made us feel very comfortable! Will be coming back for more

Experiencia fantástica: I have gotten a sleeve from Chris Harris at Element Tattoo and he’s doing my torso. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. They take amazing care of their clients and will give you the perfect tattoo at fair prices I would recommend this tattoo studio for anyone considering a tattoo. No matter the style of tattoo, Element has someone on their team that can make it happen!

Experiencia fantástica: My roommate and I came here for walk ins. Chris was nice and freehanded my roommate’s cover up. I got a touch up and he took my last minute request to do some little traditional cherries above the back of my elbow. Great experience and the woman at the front desk is very sweet and friendly!

Experiencia negativa: Wish I had a better experience. I was willing to pay top money and wanted the best. Instead I got Cameron. My first time there. Tattoo is done and you can feel the thick lines meaning he is not experienced enough. Refused to accommodate to certain wants. He wanted to do his way and not opened to suggestions or wants. Showed him a picture and he came up with an okey drawing but rushed service. Remember as client you can deny the service. I wish I did. Saw some other artists and I would definitely give it a try to other artists within the parlor but cam is definitely not a guy option. When I came back and noticed some fixes that could’ve been done he literally said, I won’t do it. If you come back to more work I can see to fix it. Disappointed tbh

Experiencia fantástica: Love my new tattoo! Nathan was fast and gentle and my flower is beautiful. Very clean and comfortable fun shop! Definitely worth stopping in!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone I spoke with was so chill. Angel is awesome and so down to earth. Definitely the most comfortable I felt getting tattooed. I would 100% recommend and will be back!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris gave me my long awaited octopus tattoo, glad I came to Element Tattoo!

Experiencia fantástica: So I got this symbol that represents a sexual assault survivor and Angel was so nice and amazing doing this for me. Especially it being my first tattoo, I love the way it came out, I didn’t few any pain or discomfort throughout the time of the tattoo! Once again, thank y’all so much!!

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful place with amazing artists, absolutely top tier in San Antonio. Got a piece done by Jedi, amazing work and turned out better than I could have ever hoped. Can't wait for the next

Experiencia fantástica: Angel was fast and friendly but also detail oriented! Will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: The experience here was amazing! My appointment was with James and he did an absolute fantastic job in every aspect. If you’re looking for a shop and artist to go with I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Brian did an amazing job on my tomato tattoo. You can tell he knows his craft. This shop is great. My wife and step-son have been here as well and we all plan to return soon.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been working with Jedi for a year now, he reworked some existing lines and finished my sleeve. He is so gentle and such a pleasure to sit with. I get Sooooooo many compliments when people see my ink, his colors are unmatchable. I am beyond happy with the work and can’t wait to start the rest of my tattoo journey with him.

Experiencia fantástica: Chris was amazing, he made the process very comforting and extremely easy. I would recommend him time and time again. Chris was awesome, emphasis on tattoo element, they get the job done !!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have now been to this shop three times and Nate has done all my tattoos. He really listens to what you want and brings it to life! I recommend him for any tattoo needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris did a great job and worked with the limited space I had while not interfering with my other tattoos. It was quick and he was courteous. Jenny was also very helpful during the whole process.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome experience getting ink here. Super clean and the atmosphere is awesome. Got tatted by Justin and would definitely recommend. I had an idea in mind and he was able to make it happen. He was also able to squeeze me in on a Friday night.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been getting tattooed at Element for at least 7 years as I work on my body suit and I would (and do) recommend the shop to anyone looking to get tattooed. The shop staff is friendly and helpful and the artist are always working on some sick piece be it a walk-in or something bigger. Jedidia did my back and now my legs and it has been an amazing journey. He has so much experience and vision; I always know he's going to take care of me and the end result will be amazing. From design to skin to final details he never ceases to amaze and the work speaks for itself. Much love to Jedi and all the lovely people at the shop, I look forward to the next session!

Experiencia fantástica: Went to see Justin for an upper arm coverup this week and he did an amazing job so far. All staff were incredibly friendly and the studio was impeccably clean. Looking forward to my return for round two in a few weeks!
