Gabriel has fixed two tattoos for me and I am very pleased with the outcome. Both times, he started with a bad tattoo that I had gotten elsewhere and he made something that I love. I am so grateful. The colors look great. He was super friendly. The shop was nice and there were several professionals there. A+++ read more

I waited for over 1.5 hours for a tattoo that I never received...then out of apology I was given a bogus coupon card that I could never use. Customer service needs improvement. read more

I came in for the Friday the 13th event last week. Met a new artist [new to me not the shop] G (Gideon). I explained about my thin skin, subject to the color bleeding outside the lines. He listened carefully and understood the problem Older saggy thin skin is a challenge. Sure enough, one little tatt had issues but the second one didn't. The line work was great on both. The claw looks drawn perfectly in the curve of the toes and claws. Still love it. The tattoo was amazing. Lines are clean, looks drawn on my arm. Lol. Went back today with an appointment and got two more. Ill post again with pics.I think I finally found the one who can create something for my blank arm! read more

I was in town on business and decided to try this shop after reading their reviews. I called ahead of time and they said a walk-in that evening would be fine. What I wanted was pretty simple. The artist worked well with what I wanted, placing and replacing it several times until it was perfect. Color was excellent, he even touched up an older piece and it looked better than before. I'd go back. read more

Staff was very nice! I will start with that. I had Jerry, Gerry, idk how to spell it. I am not very happy with my tattoo though. I wish the photos i attached were more clear so you can see closely how jagged the lines are. I wanted a ukrainian trident symbol. You can clearly see that maybe 1/4th of the lines are straight. The loops aren't even equal, the line is not even connected straight on the top, it's randomly filled in in areas it should not be. I cannot get it fixed because it will just make it thicker, I am honestly embarassed to show this to people given that it's in such an obvious spot. I was very proud to get a ukrainian tattoo to honor my heritage, but this is upsetting. . It is overall an awful tattoo job. read more

I had a horrible DIY tattoo on my upper back and as a birthday gift, I decided it was time to cover it with something meaningful. I decided on a lotus flower and went to Artistic Impressions in Katy to get a consultation. I spoke with AARON BATES, tattoo artist, and he was kind, honest, and super knowledgeable. I instantly felt comfortable and scheduled my tattoo revision for the next day (which is today!) It took him about three hours to turn an old, faded and ugly tattoo into the most BEAUTIFULLY detailed piece! I teared up seeing it in its completion. The most impressive thing is it looks like an original piece, not a cover up. It is a 10 out of 10!!! I will not lie and say it didn't hurt. However, Aaron was AMAZING at managing my pain level by distracting me with jokes, singing and making up his own lyrics. I would not have made it without his humor and fun personality. Check out his work on Instagram: aaronbatesart AARON, THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE AN ARTISTIC GENIUS! TEN star bedside manner!!! read more

Artistic Impressions Tattoo Studio - Before and After - Tattoo Near Me - Katy, Texas

Amazing work! My mom and I went to the shop on Tuesday before thanksgiving to get some small things done. Biggie helped us out and got both our designs done perfectly. The shop was clean, friendly, and the work came out perfectly. He added on some white ink to my moms tattoo to help it pop. It was her first tattoo and he was super patient and calm with her. Overall highly recommend him, his line work was perfect. The following day we took my sister in and got a tattoo with her. Biggie had an appointment so Allyson was about to help us. She was able to capture what my sister wanted and resize them so each of us got them done in the locations we wanted. She gave us recommendations too about placement so it would last. Allyson, loves doing birds so it was perfect she ended up doing ours. Super nice to chat with and the work came out perfectly. We all loved them. I would highly recommend this shop. Don't know who I liked better because both artists were amazing. So glad they were able to take some walk-ins. read more

I had visited artistic impressions before for piercings and have always been very happy with the level of service and competence of the piercers that they hire. I've been thinking about getting a piercing for a little while and just found myself and split decision turning in to the parking lot of artistic impressions. I was glad I did because Audrey was there. She is an apprentice Piercer and they were offering a discount if I chose her as my Piercer. I did and was not disappointed! She was super friendly very confident and was patient with helping me find just the right position for my new nose piercing. Aubrey Will be working at the Cypress location of artistic impressions on Thursday Friday and Saturdays. She's offering five dollars off piercings it sure would appreciate your business to help her get more clientele. Overall my experience at the Katy location of artistic impressions was very good. They were even sweet enough to let me park my bike inside LOL. I've never gotten a tattoo from them but I imagine their tattoo artist are equally as competent as their piercers. The location was easy to get to it smelled nice it looked nice and I was greeted warmly when I walked in the door. I would definitely recommend a visit if you thinking about a tattoo or piercing. I love mine! Thank you Audrey good luck with your career! read more

I went almost 6 months ago. The wait was kind of long but worth it. I had gotten a piercing from Audry and I couldn't be more please. She made me feel very comfortable. The front deck attendant was also very nice. I'll be using Audry from now on for piercings. read more

Staff is super friendly! Walked in to get my nose pierced and only had to wait 15 mins and it was fast and easy. The vibe inside the place is awesome. Definitely coming back for a tattoo soon! read more

Eric!!! You are so rad! We walked in at 10:30, 5 of us expecting the world to stop and for all of us to get the tattoos of our dreams. Lol! Guess what?! We did because of this guy. He actually blew our minds. He made room for all of us. He spent the entire day focusing on our artwork prep and delivering beautiful pieces. I was visiting friends in Katy from California and only had a few hours. My piece is the beginning of a sleeve ( that I will visit Eric to complete ) and one of 4 he did for us today. Highly recommended. read more

I can't believe I paid $120 for an "artist" who has only been tattooing for six weeks to put this abomination of line work on my body permanently. Don't let Vu tattoo you, especially if it's all line work. Once this heals, I'm going to have to pay someone else to fix it. read more

I have been coming to Artistic Impression for about 2 years. I got one of my Friday the 13th tattoos at the Katy location, and the Cypress one. I got my nasal piercing here as well, and will continue to come for my tattoos and piercings. The staff and artists are always very friendly, very supportive, and could possibly be the best hype people when you're doing something new. The facility is clean, the artists are professional, yet so friendly when you're getting a piece done. Their actions when Covid hit have been impeccable, from sanitation to making sure everyone is being safe. I've gone to other shops, and none of them compare to Artistic Impressions. I will always refer people to come here when they want a tattoo or piercing. read more

The process of scheduling an appointment was easy and Ricardo was very patient in listening to what I wanted to do. At my appointment, he was also very thorough in planning with me the size and placement of my tattoo. When I'm ready for my next one, I'll head to AI and ask for Ricardo again. read more

I was very impressed with the customer service! This was a very clean and friendly establishment. I went to get my ears pierced and the girl who does piercings (I didn't catch her name) was so nice!! And very knowledgable about her craft! Highly recommend! Side note for tattoo peeps, their minimum is $100. No matter the size ~ just as a heads up read more

I went to the Cypress location and I walked in for some piercings and was helped right away. Everyone was super nice and it was clean. Piercings look and feel amazing! Cadin was super kind and helped me feel comfortable throughout the whole appointment. Super calming energy. read more

Hands down, Audrey is the *best piercer* I've ever encountered!! I can't overstate that. She made me feel completely comfortable, answered my questions, and was notably kind. I trust her & recommend her 10/10 for sure. No exaggeration, she is just that good. I had to come here & leave a review for her because I'm so appreciative! read more

This shop is super clean! Everyone was great but Janice, my artist, was THE MOST AMAZING!! This is my second tattoo with her and both are memorial tattoos for my family who passed away. This one is of the last words my father said to me before he passed away 4/8/21. It means the absolute world to me!!! I love it so much!!! read more

I was very nervous to get my nose pierced and Lee made me feel so much better!

Very happy with nose piercing!!!!! read more

Artistic Impressions Tattoo Studio - Nose piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Katy, Texas

I'm a huge fan of this whole studio. I've had my nose pierced and 3 tattoos done here. I can't remember the piercers name, but I really liked him and will return for another piercing soon. I use Erick for my tattoos and he's freaking awesome! I hate to share because he's already busy and I'm a little selfish, but he deserves to be recognized as an outstanding artist. He's also very gentle and that's important, especially since I'm a big baby and have an issue with shots and giving blood. Lol I recommend calling and then stopping by to get an appointment. My boyfriend uses another guy who's not as experienced as Eric, however, his work is phenomenal. You'd never know he hasn't been doing this very long. So far, he's had two tattoos done here- one on each forearm and they're very nice. All in all, I'd say this is a one-stop shop for your piercing and tattoo needs. They're range of artists makes them my favorite place for both. read more

A few things that I have learned after dealing with Jorge from Artistic Impressions this weekend. 1. Jorge was 1 hour late for my appointment with him. 2. Someone at the main shop had to call him to remind Jorge that he had a consultation with me that day. 3. Jorge had no recollection of me or our email conversations or the tattoo that I wanted him to do. 4. My tattoo will be a black tribal elbow piece. Jorge wanted $180.00 an hour to do a 5"X5" tattoo. 5. Jorge said this relatively small tattoo would take him 8 hours to do, which would cost almost $1400.00 6. After telling him that $180.00 an hour was way out of my price range for an 8 hour tattoo, he changed his price to $125.00 an hour, which I thought was STILL way too much for a simple tattoo. I haven't gotten a tattoo in over 20 years. That being said, I still think Jorge's prices are way too high. I honestly feel he was trying to get one over on me. I have already reached out to several other tattoo shops FBCO area and they said the tattoo I want can be done for a flat fee between $350-$500. That seems a lot more reasonable. So buyer beware. If you choose to use Jorge with Artistic Impressions, have him explain everything to you before he takes that $200.00 non-refundable down payment. read more

These guys are great! Shop is clean and sanitary and Mike is a true Artis!!

My kid got a nose piercing for her 17th birthday and she is happy with it. However, we had to ask the piercer's name, we had to ask about aftercare, he didnt explain the procedure until after we asked, she bled a little and he didn't offer a q-tip, we were just not happy with the overall experience and definitely won't be returning for future tattooing. Actual piercing 4 Customer service is a 2. read more

My first time ever visiting this place was today. The building and wall art is so cool! The employees are chill too. My only problem with my piercer was that i didn't get asked if my tongue piercing looked okay to me. Being that i've gotten both sides of my nose pierced and was asked if I liked the placement I guess I expected to be asked. Luckily the piercing came out perfectly. The whole process took MAYBE 5 minutes, probably a lot less. If I ever get the itch for another piercing, I will be returning. read more

Rude customer service. I called asking a question on whether or not they had minimum rates because a couple of years back I got a small tattoo for $80 and now their minimum is $100 and she interrupted me saying "times change". I should've just hung up in her face. Don't give them your money. read more

The guy in the front (assuming a apprentice) was super polite and answered all our questions, but when I went to the back to get my nose pierced the piercer in the back was very annoyed. We had asked if my sister could go to the back with us and he said no which is very understanding due to COVID, but when I asked him to change the spot where my piercing was he just looked at me annoyed. He didn't give me instructions on after care either. Idk I can't speak for the rest of the place but I wouldn't go there again cause of him :/ read more

Erick was awesome. He was so patient with me in deciding my design and placement! He was also very attentive. Will definitely be back to see him! read more

This shop is well decorated. Amazing art everywhere. It's organized and clean. It has a welcoming vibe. Great music. George, is the artist I would recommend. He is very professional and knowledgeable. And he must have a light hand to because it didn't hurt. Most importantly, he is a great artist! He doesn't cut corners and will work with you. I will definitely be coming back to book more appointments with George. read more

I am a mom of four girls who have had piercings (septum, nose, eyebrow, and under lip) and tattoos (3- that I know of) and I am so happy with the way they take care of each one of them.

Top notch service every time I'm in there and this time was no different! Chase has done several piercings on me and I have never had any complaints!

I just wrote the longest review I've ever fkn written then it disappeared. Sooo not doing that again. Jorge did a amazing job on my arm he has a light hand it didn't even pinch sat in the chair 7 hours and loved it bzzzzz. The colors are still poppin 5 months later. He's good with eyes/faces detail! He's my go to guy now. ...And then there's Andrew who went to the new location he did a badass Frankenstein portrait on me pleaseee come back to Katy. Oh and dude who does the piercings you're cool but kinda a douche at the same time *just sayin* might want to work on that shit attitude. ;) everybody else at this location is cool easy to talk to guys with awesome personalities. Great taste in music. They make the place comfortable. read more

Usually when i envision a tattoo shop I think of chill vibes laid back vibes but this experience was just the exact opposite. It was a very dull experience instead of an exciting one as it should've been. When I asked for the spot of my piercing to be moved i was given a slight attitude. Honestly not the best experience but the piercing is still cute. Would not come back . read more
