First time ever getting a tattoo with my girlfriend, and the experience was perfect. I was a bit hesitant at first, but my tattoo artist Jeremy was super chill and genuine, which really helped put me at ease. He took us in as a walk-in, hooked us up, and got everything done in a timely manner. The vibes were great and the music was straight bangers lol. I'd definitely love to come back, and I'm really grateful for such an awesome first tattoo experience. read more

So apparently every tattoo spot in San Antonio closes at 9PM! Which is so insane to me!!!! My boyfriend, cousin and I wanted to get some small tattoos done and it took us forever to find a place that was open and the minimum wasn't so bad. We finally found this place called them up, they were letting walk-ins come until 12 and the Minimum was $60.00 which ehh wasn't so bad. i got a small smiley face which was $60 My cousin got a small bicycle which was $100 My boyfriend got the Basquiat crown on his arm in red which was $80 The place was nice and clean, super friendly team and it was very quick we went at a good time. The ATM machine was broken so we had to go get cash, (they only accept cash). read more

my friend and i were looking to get small tattoos done and found the perfect place! they have a shop minimum of $60 which is great if you're looking to get something simple done. heaven was our tattoo artist and she was so sweet! she helped us feel at ease and came up with great designs for us. i'll definitely be coming back again for more tattoos! oh, forgot to mention it's cash only so do be prepared--my friend didn't bring any and their ATM machine was out of service so we went to walgreens to pull out cash after. but heaven was really patient with us and let us leave to get the money out which was really kind of her. overall, it was a nice experience and clean too. read more

Loved loved loved this place! My sister and I tried to come here a few years ago and sadly it didn't end up happening. Luckily, the stars aligned for us yesterday because we came in as walk-ins and were promptly taken care of. I came in thinking that I knew where I wanted the placement of my tattoo to be but luckily my artist talked me out of it. Thank you bunches to Doomsday Tattoo! Also, Jason the Goya beans turned out flippin' awesome! Thanks! read more

Wish I did more research / looked into specific artists instead of doing a walk-in. The artist Josh/Joshua did a tattoo in memory of my late grandmother and he told me I couldn't do it any smaller on my arm so I went ahead and did it larger and I immediately regretted the size the next day but as it healed the "true" tattoo was revealed and it was sloppily done. The first photo is a few days after I took the second skin off and the B&W photo is today. You can see all of the errors. I saw a few professionals and they said he used too much ink, too large of a needle on me, and that the ink bled, on top of it he went too deep and I'm scarred which is unfortunate and makes sense why the tattoo is still raised on my skin. Very sad as this is permanent and was supposed to be for my late grandmother. *Oh and it was $80 before tip so $100 for this 2" tattoo* read more

Excellent tattoo shop with great talented and unpretentious staff. Very open to listen, very detail oriented, and most importantly very clean. May 4 2019 was my second trip to doomsday tattoo and I'm already looking forward to my next trip to San Antonio all the way from HOUSTON just to get more work done. The shop is highly recommended by many other Houstonians, which is the reason we decided to make the trip ourselves. Extra kudos to Bubba Soliz, Who did my first two tattoos May 2018 and to Esther who did my forearm piece May 2019. I get stopped and complemented frequently on my tattoo by both older and younger people. Book your appointment ASAP. Thanks Esperanza Galdámez. read more

Doomsday Tattoo - Forearm tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

not worth the pain or the money. 1/10 i do not recommend. i initially went in with a few inspirations pics of traditional and basic arm bands. I had mentioned i wanted the top band to be about an inch thick and the bottom to be half the size. I was told it was too big and they would "try." very obviously it is not an equal width around my arm and that unfortunately was not my biggest concern here. as you can tell it was a very painful process along with recovery. i've attached pictures for evidence: the day of, the day after, a week after and now, 9 months later. where i'm stuck with a blue painful arm arm and down 400$ due to the service, and to get it fixed i will have to pay more money whether that's medical bills, a cover up or removal. read more

5 stars!! Been going to doomsday for over a year now and it is clean, professional & friendly! All the artist show so much talent and now they added a piercer?! I've been blessed with Bubba as my artist but I'm sure I'll eventually branch out, I love that I have found a tattoo shop I trust. Check them out, walk in and see what's up.

Doomsday itself is a great place to be. The artist Malekia very cool guy. Gone to him twice now. first to have a tattoo fixed/finished second was a custom piece. Both times he surpassed my expectations. I recommend him to anyone and everyone, especially for a tradition style tattoo. read more

DO NOT RECOMMENDED., this place is rude and unprofessional asf you can't take pictures or record, they don't understand words that come out of your mouth , the store is dirty , and the workers look like hobo's , a side from that the are not focused on there job, they get distracted very easily and it smells like pee, DO NOT RECOMMENDED read more

Friendly staff that can always give me a great tattoo. There are so many artists with diverse styles that you'll find someone right for you.

Piercer is unprofessional. I got 2 piercings, pierced with inappropriate jewelry for my anatomy. I asked if I had the correct anatomy for the piercings and was told that I did, only to have to take them out after consulting with a better piercer at a different shop. After 2 months, they weren't healing because they were pierced incorrectly. Wasn't given a consent form nor consulted with any info about liability, allergies, etc. read more

I went In for an appointment yesterday with an artist named Iliana , and while there I was able to see 3-4 other artists consult and work on other people. Everyone is so friendly , my artist was very welcoming and made sure I loved the tattoo and that I was comfortable the whole time, I am definitely coming back for more work. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a friendly studio. read more

I love this tattoo shop. Every time I go I get a different artist and they do nothing short of an amazing job. They take walk ins so easily and every piece I get that's a walk in has such extreme detail that you would think it's an appointment and something planned out. The artists are more then happy to answer any questions and they are priced greatly. I won't go anywhere else in San Antonio. read more

Look, i never use yelp to trash a business/person however this particular time calls for it. I went in to get a cover up, I had two tattoos that represented two past relationships, Esther ( the tattoo artist knew this) and she did a horrible job. I was very clear on what I wanted, which was a cover up, and she indicated it would be no problem-- however she failed to fully cover up my tattoos unless I paid more!! She admitted that she was an amateur, yet I still had hope for her, however when I indicated to her that my tattoo (which she did on the first visit) was not fully covered up ( After my first appointment) she refuse to do further work on it unless I payed again!! This is not what we agreed to in the beginning. At the end of the day, she failed to cover up my tattoo and lied about the price. What you should take away from that people at this location will lie, in order to get you inside the door. To me, this is pretty shitty, since this is body Art that will last a lifetime. My suggestion, do not go into this tattoo shop and save yourself money and aggravation as they will not do the job. Esther, who is on maternity leave, ( as of July 2018) should not be allowed to tattoo any living souls. Steer away from Esther as she is not what she claims. read more

I love this place! Just got a swallow bird tattoo for my birthday several days ago along with my cousin! This place is super-duper clean and everyone has been friendly and helpful.

Shout out to Criket and Daniel at Doomsday Tattoo! My wife is a breast cancer survivor and we have talked about getting tatted since she was declared cancer free, but tonight we decided to pull the trigger. We showed up as walk-ins and even the shop was jumping Criket did not even hesitate and told us we could get inked! The professionalism and courtesy we received was second to none and the art work was amazing! You have definatly scored two new customers 4 life... Way to go Team Doomsday!!! #inked, #mytattooartistrocks read more

When you have an artist that is repeatedly not at work on their normal days and never returns a message or phone call you should really reevaluate who you keep in house. It doesn't matter how good you are or think you are if you don't have the common curtesy to treat your clients like they matter. read more

Amazing!! Got my first tattoo with Esther. I wanted something delicate and minimalistic (I got a small outlined silhouette of a woman's body) and I am absolutely obsessed with the outcome. She was very kind and patient from the moment I walked in and needless to say, I am extremely relieved I decided upon Doomsday :) read more

i'm sure they have good artists but whoever did my tattoo honestly didn't even try. it was a simple line tattoo that he could've even tried to draw himself i brought in the picture as a reference. couldn't even trace it correctly and pressed too hard because a lot of the lines are blown out. upset i didn't get a better artist & stuck with a shitty tattoo read more

I went in yesterday to get a 20 year tattoo updated or refreshed. I told the artist that I'm HIV positive and have been for over 25 yrs and I'm undetectable. I said I knew they took precautions however I was telling him in case he had personal problem working on me. The artist went to sketch the tattoo. About 15 minutes later he went outside for what I thought was a 15 smoking break. When he came back in, he said that he talked with the manager and they wouldn't do my tattoo without a dr's release. I call BULLSHIT! I'm 55 yrs old. They can have me sign a release. Or the artist could own up that he was uncomfortable working on an HIV positive person. How many people do you think they work on that don't know their status, and therefore are not on any meds and are even more "at risk" getting a tattoo. How many people do you think they work on that know they are positive and just don't tell the artist. I think I'm better than that. I wonder if they ask if you are pregnant? I wonder if they get releases for people with cancer? I wonder if they need a release for anyone that's been out of the country or is going out of the country? I can tell you I won't be going back. I won't schedule a $300 dr's appt just to get a release to get a tattoo. This literally made me get sick to my stomach when I got home. read more

This was my first time here and I came with my sister and some friends for the Friday the 13th special they were doing. My sister had been here before and said they do good work. I already have 2 large tattoos and a medium sized one done by a different place so I said why not try them out by getting a small one? I understand the special makes them very busy. There were over 200 people in line. I was #112 no biggie. HOWEVER!! I do not believe that just because there are a lot of people an artist should rush like mine did. I got two small tattoos and I will never go back to her. They're just outlines and came out nice BUT she was way too rough trying to rush through them. I watched the other artist there and none of then rushed through their clients. It felt like she was taking a newly sharpened pencil and digging it into my skin and dragging it down. I have had outlines done for my bigger tattoos and they have never felt like that! It was so painful it made me cry. If I didn't cry for my big tattoos then how could two small ones hurt so much? Other artist checked on me when i was upset and i told them i was fine, she was just extremely rough and no one did anything! She didn't even wrap my tattoos properly. She covered my entire upper back in tape which was so unnecessary for a small tattoo and the one on my ankle was wrapped too tight it was painful. Not to mention she got black ink all over my bra (which is now stained) and she hardly wiped them clean before wrapping them. DO NOT GO TO i believe her name is Christine? She had purple hair. She was so quick I'm m not even sure thats her name. If I ever go back, I will not let her near me with a needle. read more

My brother and I just went to the May 4th Starwars day celebration yesterday. We were 3rd in line and we were sooo excited because we have had some experience with Doomsday tattoo and trusted them enough to get a random Starwars tattoo that we didn't design. We were excited to get a tattoo for 25$. The ENTIRE experience was terrible! First we went to a room that had no windows and one door, it was like a garage and it was super hot. When we saw the tattoos my brother quickly made the decision to get the rebel alliance symbol, we picked it out and we were excited. I was still debating on what tattoo I wanted to get. Both tattoo artists seems super annoyed to be there doing tattoos, we would ask questions and they would answer quickly and wouldn't give us the time of day. My brother told the artist what he wanted and he quickly said "ok i got it where do you want it..." he had no idea what customer service was. He told him he wanted the tattoo on the back of his arm by his elbow and when he placed it too low and we told him to put it higher he rolled his eyes and moved it. My brother reluctantly laid down on the tattoo bed and the artist started. His hard was shaking hard as if he had been tattooing for hours. When my brothers gf went to check on my brother she noticed that the artist missed a large corner of color and as she was about to point out the spot he missed he yelled at her "don't touch the tattoo!" I wasn't close but I actually heard him yell at her, my brother and his gf aren't a stranger to tattoos we actually have gone and gotten tattooed by Bubba but the way this "artist" was treating us was astounding. She told him that she wasn't going to touch it she was just pointing out what he had missed and he said... OH I didn't even see that spot.... WTH?!?! Finally the tattoo was done and my brother called us over to see it and. it. was. TERRIBLE! The symbol is something that is symmetrical and this tattoo was SHIT. I get the idea that you get what you pay for (which is a slogan on their fb page) but this was supposed to be a fun event where you could get a 25$ high quality tattoo from the voted "Best tattoo shop in san antonio 2016." We should have been able to trust them! the line work was terrible which is a basic tattooing skill! My poor brother was mortified! When I pulled one of the tattoo artists who worked for doomsday and showed them the tattoo and the actual symbol online they just shrugged and didn't offer to fix it... It was my turn to get one done and I hesitated because look at the quality of tattoo that we were getting? both artists were not willing to help in any way and they just didn't want to take any time out of there busy schedule, but we had gotten there super early and we were the first one's in line and you can expect this type of attitude and tattooing possibly towards the end of the night but not at the beginning. Tattoos are something that will be on your body for the rest of your life... but seriously this was terrible. I showed them another tattoo that I wanted which was a light saber and it had an area that looked like it went under the skin which noone liked so I asked them if they wouldn't mind just not doing that part and just make the saber, it was something that would take less time to do and they said it was something that they would not do, all they had to do was connect two lines but they were unwilling to help. I then asked if they would fix the symbol and they said that they would not. They were ok putting out shit tattoos. I then told them that I changed my mind and they actually seemed astonished that I was not going to get something. Seriously disappointed, this shop was our go to for tattoos and now we have to find another one. read more

It was first time getting a tattoo and Jason did an AMAZING job. He made me very comfortable and I would definitely recommend coming here!

I have been looking for a few years to find an artist to replicate my late fathers tattoo. I found an amazing artist at Doomsday tattoo. Rob-Bee was patient with my request and did an amazing sketch based on small details and a very fuzzy picture. He was even able to perfectly create a quote in my fathers handwriting, based on some samples I provided. The shop was clean and welcoming and the staff was attentive and kind. Most of all, my tattoo is fabulous and a picture perfect match of my fathers. Thanks to Rob-Bee for his amazing artistry. read more

Awesome shop. Went in at opening on a Saturday. Ricky was the only one there at the time my wife and I both wanted new tats it would be her first professional tat. Ricky took the time to draw out what she wanted and made her feel comfortable and relaxed while she was nervous. I had an idea of what I wanted but it wasn't set in stone, Ricky drew up part of it and it was awesome start to a sleeve. Will be going back and requesting him to do all the rest of our work. It's been 2 days and the wife wants to go back and get more now lol. Only down side I have to say about the place is it's cash only, they do have an atm on site, but it has a $200 transaction limit and with a $4 fee for each one. Would think that by now everyone would have an app or something for people to pay with credit/debit cards read more

Went in to get a tattoo done for my wife. The facility is very clean and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and Bubba is a great artist.
