Infamous Ink: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: Took my daughter in on Friday the 13th for a nose piercing for her 18th birthday the staff was awesome very accommodating and made her feel very comfortable, came back on her birthday for her first tattoo and again the staff was awesome!! Will definitely be back!! Thank you guys for a great first tattoo experience.
Experiencia negativa: I feel my tattoo was a bit overpriced for the simplicity of the design being a circle and 2 straight lines with 4 four letter words being $140 pluss tip and then not quite having proper fill in
Experiencia fantástica: Just got the cutest tattoo done by Serenity! I also got some flash tattoos done by Crash on Friday the 13th and they’re absolutely perfect, super clean work. My boyfriend got tattooed by Damon too, they hit it off really well and he loves his tattoo. All staff and artists I met were very funny, personable, professional, and great at what they do. I will definitely be coming back here!
Experiencia fantástica: This is one of the best shops around. Talented tattoo artists for sure!
Experiencia fantástica: Damon was awesome! He did a great job for my first tat. I would definitely recommend him.
Experiencia fantástica: I didn’t get pierced here but I had a piercing that was constantly flaring up and getting irritated to the point I was afraid of infection. I came in to check with a piercer if I should get it removed and although they said yes, they told me that if I wished to keep it I could try their sea salt spray solution that works for washing piercings. And listen, I normally don’t buy stuff from piercers because it’s overpriced and doesn’t work better than regular store-bought stuff but I was incredibly desperate so I gave in quick and 2 weeks after, there’s no bump on my piercing anymore! It’s genuinely their holy grail and they’re super friendly and cool about it too, I’d recommend this place to anyone. :)
Experiencia fantástica: Lefty & his team are unbelievable !! From my initial consultation to helping me outline a road map & plan for all my ink I want to get done, I couldn’t ask for anything better !! I would not trust anyone else to do anything to my body, but Lefty & his team !!! A++++
Experiencia fantástica: It was a very quick and learning experience. The guy was very helpful and the lady at the front was very welcoming.
Experiencia fantástica: Infamous Ink was the best place ive ever been for a great tattoo... I had Damon Thames for this Black And Grey Skull on my thigh that came out really nice... Damon is a solid artist that will make you feel at home and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great tattoo
Experiencia fantástica: It was a in and out , very quick ! I loved the scenery , customer service was great! Very affordable
Experiencia negativa: I got a tattoo done here and I paid around $90 for a single butterfly (no color and no details just line work) and I didn’t like how it looked, so I went back inside and was discreetly trying to let the people at the front desk know that I wasn’t feeling it too much. Let’s just say by the end of my visit the whole shop knew what was going on. I had people all around me and I felt that I was put in a very uncomfortable situation. The manager told me I could get my tattoo fixed, which I did. I ended up getting it fixed by Carlos he proceeded to whisper to me, “Man you shouldn’t have went to the manager that’s not cool you could’ve came to me”. 1. I didn’t even know who I was speaking to at the time was the manager and 2. I just felt like the situation was handled very unprofessionally. I already decided I’m never going back. Their prices are ridiculous and overall just very unprofessional.
We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience here. K=we are kind of confused though as to why you would leave this review now even though this situation was months ago? We tried very hard to accommodate you when you came in and said you weren't happy with the result even though you had stated multiple times that you were happy with it. You paid $80 for the tattoo and we even offered to "fix it" at that time, which is when I guess you are referring to feeling like the whole shop knew what was going on. Not only did Carlos fix the tattoo for you, he added to the tattoo per your request. You seemed genuinely happy with the experience and we were happy to give you the tattoo you said you wanted.
Please let us know how we could have better handled this situation for you.
Experiencia fantástica: I've gotten several tattoos from Damon, and I've been happy with EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. The atmosphere is great and everyone is very easy going. The place is clean and every artist is professional. They really take the time to make sure that you're getting what you paid for. A big shout out to Damon and his mentor Crash. You can't go wrong with this place.
Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend coming here for any of their services. Very chill and welcoming staff and artists. I had my work done by Damon. The work he did is the best looking tattoo I’ve ever gotten. I will definitely be back for more work soon.
Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 I had such an amazing experience at Infamous Ink. I got piercings done and a tattoo. My piercer finished both of my piercings quickly and they look great and are healing perfectly. Damon took the time to make sure my tattoo was on perfectly and in the right spot, the lines are clean and professional. I will definitely be going again.
Experiencia fantástica: Damon was great! He drew up the perfect piece for me and it came out awesome. Very professional and great artist. Would highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: I spoke with Damon about a tattoo I have been wanting to get for a while. He was super down to earth, passionate and has so much creativity and raw talent that shines in his work. I can't wait to get this piece and many more done by him! 10/10 recommend his services!
Experiencia fantástica: Damon is amazing! I love my tattoo!
Experiencia fantástica: Damon did an amazing job on my tattoo. His line work is clean, the shop is super professional. I 100% recommend him.
Experiencia fantástica: Went and got a traditional style Tomahawk by Damon. The tattoo came out amazing super light handed. Great place great artist, go talk to Damon about your next tattoo you won't regret it!!
Experiencia fantástica: Got a tattoo by Damon the other day . WOW it came out great and I couldnt be more satisfied. He took his time to make sure that my girlfriends and my tattoo were lined up and matched perfectly . Will definitely go back just for him !
Experiencia negativa: Staff was nice unfortunately after two days of having my tattoo there is so many things wrong with it. I couldn’t tell at the time bc they were closing. Dug way too deep into my skin and very uneven, shaky lines,and can see all the mess ups. Not satisfied at all. I even tipped decent to apologize coming in a hr before close.
Hi, we are very sorry for you being unhappy with your tattoo. We remember you coming in late, but we’re happy to stay for you and had no issue with taking care of your tattoo. You seemed extremely happy when you left. We have tried contacting you to see what we could do to to fix the situation for you but have been unsuccessful. If you could please call our shop at 254-757-1903. We would be happy to do whatever we can to rectify the situation.
Experiencia fantástica: Robert is great! Very clean and organized
Experiencia fantástica: The red head at the counter is STUNNINGGG, the peircing is so great
Experiencia fantástica: Matt was amazing piercing my lips, giving me snake bites, as always. Have gotten them done a few times before but due to life style issues had to have them removed. Excited to finally have them back again!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Great location very clean and friendly environment. All staff were amazing. I will definitely be returning.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service Serenity was amazing and very helpful. The location was great and clean environment
Experiencia fantástica: I love the customer service and the workers where great I truly recommend anyone to come get pierced by infamous ink staff
Experiencia fantástica: Me and my friends got piercings together to celebrate our finals. we were greeted at the door by Jess and she was so kind to us. Such a welcoming and fun vibe from her as soon as we walked in. We were so excited to get these piercings together! Mattx did all of our piercings and he did amazing! He was quick and efficient, but also super fun and chill. Thank you to the both of them for an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Infamous ink.
Experiencia fantástica: The kind soul at the front desk (who I didn't catch the name of), Matt, and Robert were all a delight! Very friendly! Matt is very quick and efficient with his piercings, and Robert's work on me and my friends' matching tattoos is excellent! Highly recommend this place if you're looking to get something!
Experiencia negativa: I went to infamous Inc. last month to get my second earlobe piercings. I asked for gold. Within a few days, my ears were green, and my jewelry has rusted and turned green. I now have Infected piercing holes.
Experiencia fantástica: did a great job on my tragus piercing, it was super fast and easy! thank you so much i love it.
Experiencia positiva: The two women at the desk were super kind and helpful, helping me get setup with an artist as a walk-in. I think for sure, had i inspected the tattoo a bit more before leaving, I would’ve told the artist where I thought it could’ve maybe been done better. Mind the glare from the hair on my skin but, I do think it’s odd that the two upper half’s of the heart aren’t filled in all the way, leaving space between the red ink and the black lining. I could see if maybe it was intentional, but even then, the sides aren’t filled in symmetrically. There’s also a random black ink dot sitting at the top of the left hand side. I promise that’s no weird birthmark of mine. My last nitpick is that on the bottom of the “V” shaped part of heart, the line on the right hand side isn’t all that straight like the left side is. I got this tattoo in jest, so these things don’t really bother me as much as they have the potential to, I do just think that they are worth noting. Still a decent experience overall :)
Experiencia fantástica: Great service . Quick and easy piercing !
Experiencia fantástica: My buddy got his first tattoo here and I got my ring finger tattooed. Carlos was fast, did amazing work and was awesome!! 10/10 recommend all of the staff is amazing

Experiencia fantástica: They were SO kind & efficient! Matt and Jessica were so helpful and the establishment was so clean! I got a belly piercing and it was amazing such a smooth process
Experiencia fantástica: Matt X was hands down the best piercer I’ve ever had. He was so cool and professional. I ended up getting 3 piercings from him. He’s so knowledgeable and QUICK with the needle. 10/10 would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Have tons of piercings from here, quality service everytime! Jess has amazing customer service
Experiencia fantástica: I've always gotten recommendations to Infamous for tattoos, but my review is for piercings by Jess. The whole experience was extremely professional and sterile (so important for piercings!) and she was so kind and informative... Will definitely be coming back here in the future. Also, shout-out to Serenity for being awesome and providing great customer care even at the last minute of the work day!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Carlos did an amazing job and the people up here are so nice and funny

Experiencia fantástica: Great tattoo shop everyone was helpful great experience for my first Carlos has a light steady quick hand 10/10 recommend
Experiencia fantástica: Went to get two more piercings right after they opened. Everything was clean, everyone was friendly. Piercings went great. I've gotten multiple tattoos and piercings at Infamous over the years, wouldn't go anywhere else. Oh, got to play with Dolly today, added bonus!
Experiencia fantástica: My sister got a piercing here as a walk-in. They got to us super fast and did everything they could to make her comfortable. Their pricing is also very fair. Definitely recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: I went in to get my bellybutton pierced and the process was easy and my piercer held my hand the while he pierced me because I was crying it went great and turned out so cute. Props to my piercer
Experiencia fantástica: I travel so it’s hard to pick a tattoo shop. It was my first time at this shop and I wanted to get a portrait of my brother. They told me Lefty (the owner) was the best and that he could fit me in two days. They were right, the tattoo turned out fantastic. When I’m ready for my next one, I will definitely wait until I’m in that area again. Thank you Lefty.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience. Everyone in there was so nice. My sister and I were wanting matching tattoos. Carlos gave us exactly what we wanted and did an excellent job. Highly recommend them. Will definitely go back again and use Carlos.
Experiencia fantástica: Crash has done my tattoos for years now, and i love all of them!! Always great service and good conversation with beautiful work!
Experiencia fantástica: One of the best experiences I've ever had. Just showed up as a walk in to get a tattoo. Very nice and professional lady welcomed us in. Gave me a rough estimate and the artist went to creating my tattoo immediately. Showed me we approved it and was in and out super fast. My tattoo looks fantastic and the artist was great. We had a great convo
Experiencia negativa: I went to get my tongue pierced with my friend and seen the piercer was a girl that had previously pierced my friends nasal ring wayyyy above the dot so I was nervous and honestly it’s probably my fault i didnt just leave then but she did my friends piercings first and they came out good but then she did my tounge ring and pierced it above the dot and to the right making it way to far back and just ugly. after this experience I told my friends about it and they told me horror stories about her also messing up there piercings like hitting the nerve of my other friends tounge and causing him to have a seizure and his tongue turned temporarily black… i dont know im js saying yall be careful getting piercings there bc she never actually pierces the dot
Hi Hope thank you so much for letting us know about your recent experience. I don't see that we pierced anyone in the last few days named Hope but if you are unhappy with a recent piercing we would love to speak to you about your experience in person. As far as your friends and stories you may have heard, our current piercer is well loved and has never pierced a male tongue and certainly never made a male seize up so I'm not sure who made him seize and turn black (that's sounds awful). She also confirms with every client that they approve the placement both before and after each piercing. Again if you were pierced at Infamous recently and have any issue, our Management Team is always available to listen and make it right. Please reach out when you have a chance and we'll see what we can do for you.
Experiencia positiva: The people are amazing there. The artists are extremely cool, and they ensure you are getting exactly what you are asking for. The front desk is so calm and collective. She is a well oiled machine and knows exactly what to do, and how to greet the customer.
Experiencia fantástica: My son wanted to get his 1st tattoo in memory of a dear friend he lost! Crash did an amazing job bringing the idea to life! We felt welcomed from the very start and our experience was amazing! We will definitely recommend Crash to all of our friends!
Experiencia fantástica: Chelsy has done two of my tattoo and is amazing everything has come out better than I expected it to be!! Carlos also makes it entertaining while getting tatted to!!
Experiencia fantástica: Carlos was amazing and made me feel so comfortable during the entire process. He has a great personality and will do you right.
Experiencia fantástica: Carlos is the best artist in town. He sets such a good vibe and made me feel so comfortable. Absolutely love his work and would highly recommend going to him!!
Experiencia fantástica: I lost my mother and today is her birthday. I wanted to do something special . I had an idea of how I wanted it, just not what exactly I wanted...lol. Carlos brought my idea to life. I absolutely ♥️ love it. This was a very special moment for me . Thank you, Carlos, for also sharing your story with me.
Experiencia fantástica: Went in to get an idea of price for a cover-up and left with a beautiful completed tattoo! Alllll the staff here is so friendly and fun! Carlos was the tattoo artist that did my cover-up and he did an absolutely AMAZING job! I can't recommend him enough!! He does beautiful work and made it a great tattoo experience! Thank you so so so much!!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Overall great tattoo experience. Carlos was extremely attentive to detail and mindful of my comfort from start to finish. The piece came out FLAWLESS. Very professional, I will be back again and again! Thanks for a great time, Carlos!
Experiencia negativa: I don’t know if this place was recently bought by someone else or just a bunch of new staff but really disappointed in this place after years of being a customer. This was my go to spot for the past 8+ years for piercings and jewelry. I no longer live in Waco and drive over an hour when I come through so I usually call before heading out to confirm what they have. The person who did my latest piercing said at least twice before doing it “sorry, I really do know what I am doing” after almost piercing my ear and realizing she had forgotten something multiple times and going back and forth from my ear to her shelves. She also had already put her gloves on and proceeded to touch multiple things with said gloves on before finally piercing me. She also assured me that the paper towel that was out “had not been used and was clean” which wasn’t something I questioned until she mentioned it. The blonde front lady was unhelpful this last time I tried to come in. She said they could do flat back nostril jewelry and told me they had silicone tunnels for stretched ears. I asked to be sure before I came in and she said “we have thousands of jewelry options, I am not going to go through and tell you exactly what we have but I can say we absolutely will have silicone for stretched ears.” The flat backs they had are for ears, no where near small enough for basic sized nostrils. And the piercer proceeded to tell me they “don’t make flat backs for 18g and 20g” which is absolutely not true. It just seems you don’t order them. And no, they didn’t have silicone tunnels or any silicone for stretched ears. They made me come into the shop and wait almost 20 minutes to tell me they didn’t have what I wanted after I had been told they did have it. Needless to say, I will be ordering from Urban BodyJewelry and/or making my trek to Dallas in the future.
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. Yes, we have made some recent changes and it's all moving in the right direction. If you would like to speak to the owners please call the shop and leave your name and number and we'd be happy to speak with you personally. You can also send us a direct message through facebook. We would be happy to address any issues you have.

Experiencia fantástica: Taylor is SUCH a good tattoo artist!! He does tattoos very fast. I got 3 done and it only took about an hr and a half AND is cheap! I paid 280 for 3 of them!! Go get a tattoo from Taylor!! The environment is super cool too!!
I don't believe this was at our shop as we do not have an artist named Taylor.
Experiencia fantástica: Carlos was super thorough and his line work is amazing! Fairly priced too! Really good experience at this tattoo studio. My boyfriend loves his new tattoo.
Experiencia fantástica: My 16 year old got 3 new ear piercings for her birthday and this is a really good place. Professional, clean, friendly! Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: Came inside the building and the receptionist was super nice and explained everything clearly. The tattooist and person doing the piercing were super nice and explained the process and helped keep the mood light it was definitely a place I would come back too for more
Experiencia fantástica: Carlos did an amazing job on mine and my best friend’s tattoo today! We got matching tattoos 18 years ago and he put his flare on it and brought it to life way better than it has ever been!! * Chelsea was a fun plus while getting our tattoos! Great work environment! Looks like they all really enjoy their jobs and respect one another.
Experiencia fantástica: Went in about a month ago for a new piercing. Everyone there is really friendly, has lots of cool stuff on the wall, and conducts themselves professionally. At a follow-up, I watched them refuse tattoo service to an underage even though his mom was there and "well, another place did it." So? We also spent a long time finding the right piece of jewelry fit for me, and they were really patient through that. So yeh. 5/5
Experiencia fantástica: I've been wanting a sleeve for a while and I had a general idea of what I wanted but when I went to Carlos to get it done he's really brought it to life. I'm in the middle of my horror sleeve and I can't wait to go back and continue working on it. He has a great eye for details and takes into consideration how it will age too! Phenomenal work and great customer service!
Experiencia fantástica: We visited infamous for friday the 13th! Carlos did 2 of my tattoos. He did an awesome job! Fast, quality work! :)
Experiencia fantástica: Big Shout to Brook and Carlos from Infamous Ink!! No appointment and Brook was able to reach out to Carlos and was able to tattoo me on the spot. Did a fantastic job!! Coming again soon.
Thanks so much for coming in tonight! We loved having you!!
Experiencia fantástica: Got some excellent work done by Carlos I loved the finished result he’s got great attention to detail and was very efficient. The customer service was good I will definitely be coming back for my next tattoo soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Took my daughter here today for a nose & rook piercing. The lady at the front (I think she's the manager) was very nice & welcoming. I have always heard good things about the quality of the tattoos here so when my daughter said she wanted these two piercings I thought of this place immediately. The piercer was very knowledgeable. I had a few questions about whether the anatomy of my daughter's ear (she has small ears) would allow for a rook & eventually an industrial on the opposite ear and the way she answered the question made me trust that she knew what she was talking about. If you're looking for excellent quality & great customer service definitely give Infamous Ink a try you won't be disappointed!
Thank you for trusting us with your daughter's piercings today Shileasha. We look forward to seeing you again in the future!
Experiencia negativa: I stopped by the shop on 7/5/24 as soon as they opened with two pictures of the tattoo I wanted since I don't have Instagram or FB. The shop manager explained to me that one was AI and there was no way they could do that much detail because once it healed it would blob over (completely understandable). BOTH pictures were a half butterfly/half wing made of daises which I then showed the artist (Emily). Emily told me she could do it and to send her the images via Gmail so she could recreate it. We set on an appointment for Tuesday 7/9/24 at 5 pm and I paid a deposit. She told me once I arrive we would just do final details and could get started. Come 7/9 when I get there she tells me, "Let me go pull up some images and you can pick what you like." Emily brought up some Google images of COMPLETELY different flowers than the ones I had sent her an image of. She stated the picture I sent her was "blurry" which even if that was the case I showed her in person and she had all of Friday and Saturday to re request the image as I have the timestamp of when I sent it to her (7/5 at 1:39 pm). I was literally just expecting almost the same image with a little less detail/flowers since the the shop manager had said they could not do that much detail! Emily had nothing ready for us when we arrived to our appointment time and after about an hour of her trying to "recreate" the image she says she can't do it and tries to pass us on to another artist. So at 6pm we leave, I try to go back in for my deposit back since it was not honored properly and they treated me like a walk in basically. The manager talks me out if it though saying Carlos can do the tattoos (sister tattoos) and he texts me. He apologizes, and was truly great, but when he asks when I can reschedule, we both couldn't come up with a good date because I am a grad student in the last 3 weeks of summer classes and have SO much going on and he said he was working on a big project/tattoo for that weekend. I tell him let's try for next Tuesday which I then messaged him on 7/15 to tell him I can't come in due to having to go out of town to work with my partner on a group project. I tell him let's try for Friday but by this time I just feel like the whole process is a hassle (i had set an appointment, my deposit was not honered and it just felt so overwhelming having to reschedule when as a grad student i dont have much time) and I start looking for other shops. From my experience I would not bother putting down a deposit as you'll just be treated like a walk in anyway. I also second a comment on here that states, "If you're not all tatted up, they'll treat you like you're stupid." I may not be all tatted up but my sister and I do both have ONE tattoo from Infamous (mine from 10 years ago when I turned 18) but I will never be getting another one here. Thank God for new shops opening up in Waco!! Editing this to respond to the shop managers comment: My "vibe" and my tattoo was SIMPLE...I am a simple person and I made sure to CLEARLY communicate what I wanted in regards to my tattoo at our initial meeting (clearly she forgot over the weekend). I showed her TWO images that were very similar. One had an ugly butterfly wing and I made sure to tell her I do not like that wing, I want a wing like this with daises (since the pic I showed had "too much detail"). She could have taken 30 minutes out of her Friday and Saturday that she was at work to make sure she had an image ready for me when I arrived. On top of being a grad student I am a TEACHER so I know very well that we should not work outside our scheduled hours bit of course I do. Carlos had TWO days Tuesday and Wednesday (7/16 and 7/17) to respond while at work before I messaged him again today 7/18 and tell him I decided to go with another shop due to no response. The LEAST they could do is give me a refund on the deposit I made since clearly she put in no effort to make sure my image was "recreated" like she stated until we arrived. My design was simple and she blew it. There goes the $600 you were going to charge.
Hi Lilly thank you for your feedback. As the manager present during your visits I would like to offer a little context. All tattoos, appointments and walk-ins, require drawing time after you arrive onsite and consult with the artist. This draw time can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the piece and requested changes. Having clear images and communication on your desired end result can cut this time down. Emily had you scheduled for a Tuesday early appointment and was ready to draw when you arrived. She spent over an hour drawing and revising your image repeatedly and politely trying to get it to your specifications. Not all artists and clients "vibe" and it was obvious you two were struggling to find that lane so we decided to bring Carlos in to help and see if you two could groove better. As I explained, our goal is always that you get an amazing tattoo you love and leave with a great experience and if one artist isn't right for you, we will find the one that is. Carlos was happy to schedule you and work with you on creating a piece of art you'd love. When you canceled on him, he politely worked with you to find a new date for the tattoo and told you he would draw it upon your arrival as no firm time could be set with your hectic school schedule. He missed your last confirmation text as he was out of the country on vacation - artists are not always available to message 24/7 - please keep in mind they are allowed days off and personal time as well. At Infamous Ink we take great pride in our brand. We work with every client, tattooed or virgin skin, to make sure they leave with a piece they love. I'm sorry you don't feel you had that same experience. I can speak with confidence that myself and my artists did everything we could do to accommodate you. If another shop is right for you, we wish you well and are here if you need anything else in the future.
Experiencia fantástica: I would of rated it 10 stars. It was a last minute thing we just walked in checked in and Crash was my Artist he was so nice and I did mention to him it was my first tatt so he took care of me so well he talked to me and had me distracted so I won't feel the pain which I really didn't it was more of a sting here and there I got my Brothers last heartbeat so this tattoo ment a lot to me at the end I loved it Thank you so much Crash I will definitely be coming back for 2 more
Experiencia fantástica: Went in because my stepson wanted to get his first tattoo. We were placed with Carlos. He took his time drawing the tattoo exactly as my stepson wanted it, and took extra care making sure the placement was perfect. Liked his work so much, we’ve commission two more tattoos from him! Can’t wait to get them!
Experiencia fantástica: My friend, Davie, told my that his dad worked there and that made me feel better cos it's hard to kno who to go to, even though Infamous Ink has great reviews. Anyway, my pa passed away a few years ago and recently I found his signature on some old papers. Steve helped me realize what I wanted by patiently taking me through different options and I appreciate that so much bc I hadn't know I could do that. Thank you so much for being so great.
Experiencia fantástica: Emily was an amazing artist. So patient and kind. I will be requesting her going forward if I decide to have anything else done.
Experiencia negativa: I have had all but one of my piercings done with infamous ink and have never had a bad experience but recently I came in to have my labret ring removed for a passport photo. Removal was easy and comfortable and I had no problems. I came back later to have a new ring put in and was met with a long wait (which I expect coming to infamous- high quality yields high demand) but the jewelry they used on me was a captive bead hoop that they pried closed without the bead. All felt fine and I paid for the jewelry and left. A few weeks later it became irritated and swelled but had no room which only made it worse. I went to a different tattoo shop (also highly reputable) and they were offended by how infamous ink had left me. She began to explain how a captive bead hoop should never be used on a lip because of the sizing and especially shouldn’t be made smaller without the bead. My lip had ripped down the center and segmented into two half’s and I would have needed to go to the er had I left it for a couple more weeks. I was advised to never come back to infamous, because no knowledgeable piercer would’ve let me walk out with a nose ring on my lip. Infamous is expensive and waits are long, understandable for high quality but unacceptable now realizing I was not getting the quality and knowledge reviews claim. Very sad to be writing such a negative review about one of my favorite waco businesses :(
Hello, we are so sorry to hear that you feel that you had a unacceptable experience. When did you come in? Our piercer knows that that is not acceptable so I'm a little confused as to who could have done what you are saying. Also, the only jewelry that we use for customers is what the customer requests. Did you speak to anyone when this supposedly happened? We always have a manager at the shop and normally our owners are as well. If you have been here numerous times then you know that Infamous prides ourselves in our customer service and that we always try to rectify any issues a customer has. The only way we know if there is an issue is if someone tells us so that we can address it. Without trying to rectify this situation at all on your part it seems that this is a false claim and or just trying to bash us. If this is not the case please call or come by anytime and we would be happy to help you.
Experiencia negativa: One day, I came in with a group of my girlfriends who had been there before. I was treated fine and didn't really get to talk to any staff. But the experience was fine, went to accompany a friend to a tattoo. However, I went in by myself the following day because my septum ring had fallen out, and I lost it. So I needed to buy another. I asked to get one out of the case, and she said the piercer would be with me in a moment. I told her I didn't need it pierced. She asked me more than 5 times in different ways if I was sure I did not need it pierced. I've had a septum ring for over 5 years. Finally, she says that the piercer needs to "size me." I go back to the room. She looks at me for all of two seconds before giving me the biggest septum ring I have ever seen. That did not fit my anatomy and was not measured to me at all. I paid 15$ for the ugliest septum ring I've ever seen. All while they wouldn't listen to a single word out of my mouth. If you come here with regulars or a group of people. You're fine. However, if you come alone and aren't covered in piercings and tattoos. They will treat you like you're stupid.
Hi Alley we are so sorry to hear this was your experience. Please know we want every customer to feel heard and happy with their service. Our counter help are not piercers, so they do rely on our staffed piercers to confirm jewelry sizes for clients to ensure we are selling you the correct product. On busy days this can mean a small wait for the piercer to be available. I hope the repeated questions were in an attempt to get you the right service - I apologize if this was not correctly communicated to you in the moment. If you are unhappy with your septum jewelry, we would love the opportunity to make it right! Come by the shop during business hours and we will be happy to replace your jewelry or refund your experience. We take great pride in our staff and services and want you to feel confident in what you're buying as well. Hope to see you again soon! Infamous Management

Hi Aden we are so sorry you are unhappy with the outcome of your tattoo. We would love to make it better! Please swing by the shop when the tattoo is healed and ask for our shop manager Brooke. We will make sure by the time you leave, you LOVE your tattoo guaranteed!
Experiencia fantástica: My first tattoo here was done by Emily and I love it. Just had an old tattoo covered up by Carlos and he knocked it out of the park!! Love this place. Clean, friendly staff and very professional. Impressive work being done here. Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: Took my daughter to get her Industrial piercing done and it wasnt a long wait. See Julie, she's great!
Experiencia fantástica: Place was amazing, the woman at the front desk was so welcoming and you could tell she knew what she was talking about. Me and my girlfriend both got tattoos by Emily and they came out perfect. The whole experience and all the artists were so fun.
