So, I found this place on Yelp and drove over to have breakfast at Sunrise Bakery and there before they opened at 11am. We walked in and immediately greeted. The team there is very nice, talkative and made the experience of my 1st tattoo comfortable. They were professional and really listened to our ideas and nailed it on the spot!!! Being this this my first tattoo and getting the change to have some throwback chats on old cars, motorcycles and Houston, Uncle Phil is the SH*T!! Best on the SPI island!! We will wait to see him again.

I wish I would've gotten my other tattoos with him. He also definitely got me what I wanted and it was quick. I made sure his equipment was sterilized, which it was. He cleaned up, washed hands, sanitized area... and opened up new package for me and a new one for my fiancée. He has a steady hand and definitely shows in his work! We had a small very enjoyable talk. Definitely worth the drive!

Really impressed with this tattoo shop. Both of the artists I've dealt with (Neal and Bebo) are…read morevery professional, focus on making sure you know what you are signing up for, and most importantly they are Honest. I found that they turn away a decent amount of work because they want to make certain the customers know that weight loss will reposition the tattoo, and other things like that. They require ID to be tattooed/pierced as they don't do any work on minors. I think these guys have a strong ethical compass, and they are true artists. I would not hesitate to recommend either of them to a friend.

I am completely bummed out. A few months back I stopped here with my daughter and was able to get…read moremy son's name tattooed on my arm. The young man who gave me the tattoo did a nice job. I mean it was just a name and a certain font but he took the time to ask me why the name and the font. I told him that this was the last of my kids that I needed to get tattooed and now I could get some other artwork done that I had been planning. The artists name is Manny. I thanked him for the work and that I would be back. I came back today. I stopped by the shop, Manny was there. I knew he wasn't going to recognize me, no big deal. But I wanted to make sure that I gave him the work because he seemed to be a nice hard working artist who can only get better. I pulled out my phone, showed him some pics of the work I wanted done. It was 2 bands on my right arm and before I could tell him that I wanted Faith written in latin, he cut me off. He said that the bands wasn't difficult to do and that the bands wouldn't be straight. They might look straight on one side but they would come out crooked on the other side. Then he started telling me that he doesn't do trendy work. Tribal, bands, and he went on to mentioned other styles were trendy and his professional opinion, he doesn't do trendy. I felt like a complete fool. Prior to coming into the shop, I looked up the history, culture, and any background information I could find on the band tattoos. I wanted to make sure that I didn't offend anyone or a culture. What I found was that the band tattoos have become very popular. In some articles I read, the cultures that embrace this art form encouraged this tattoo because some folks educated themselves on how/why people got these band tattoos. The tattoo symbolizes a loss, mourning of a loved one, or a great or significant accomplishment. Manny went on and on and even mentioned that in his professional opinion, he wouldn't do the tattoo. Yes, "professional opinion" was mentioned more than one time. So I asked, so you wouldn't do it? He said well no but maybe we can do something different, put a spin on the tattoo, make it different. I then said well, this tattoo is for my daughter who serves in the US Navy. Again, I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he said, Oh bro ya we can do it definitely, we can do it. I don't have time this week but next week. I said ok, I'll be back. I couldn't walk out of there fast enough. The folks in shop sitting behind me, I felt like they were laughing at me. I felt like a fool. My daughter, in the US Navy, and I are working on getting tattoos that have meaning to both of us. I'm not trying to be popular or follow a trend. I want to look down at my tattoo and smile thinking about my daughter. Already making plans to meet her in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area later this month to get the tattoo up there. Neal mentions customer service, this wasn't customer service. Maybe update your website to inform your potential customers that you're no longer tattooing certain but more focused on another style. Writing this still doesn't make me feel any better. Thought I found some I could trust and appreciate their work for years.

Also the line work was not very good at all.

I've lost my effin mind!…read more This tattoo spot is inside a souvenir shop - sounds crazy but it was like magic. The tattoo guy Enoc is awesome. He said he does a lot of temporary style tattoos during the summer so was excited to do a real one on me. I had been wanting stars on my neck for a while and he drew up a sketch and added a few extra things I wanted. It was pretty cheap which surprised me $80. I priced a similar tattoo in Houston and they ran from $150 - $225 so I was uber excited. Enoc was great and the tattoo came out perfectly. He was very funny. He also was great at checking on me and being a cheerleader. Whenever he was about to do something that he knew would hurt, he'd give me warning first so I could brace myself. And Enoc is very clean - gloves, opened everything in front of me and all....I kind of wished I'd gotten one on my hip but that will be saved for another day....if you're ever in Padre and want a tattoo, definitely hit up Enoc!

When I got my cover up piece done here (it's a long story, not gonna go into it), they had just…read moreseparated from El Loco Tattoo, just down the street. They were still unnamed, the battle for the El Loco name was escalating. I vaguely had an idea of what I wanted, knowing that it needed to be bigger than the original and able to be blended in. Flipping through the expansive "catalog" of designs, I decided on a turtle...mostly green in color. My original tattoo was a thick black outline, with a couple pastels as fill ins. The first guy I talked to said he didn't think they'd be able to do it, but then asked the other guy (Eddie, I think) his opinion. Eddie taylor colored the design I chose to make a perfect cover up. Of course, I can still see the original, but if you don't know what or where you're looking for it, you'd have no clue that it's a cover up. The shop was clean...the MOST IMPORTANT factor of a tattoo parlor for me. I also like a good portfolio and references as to the artists talent. I had seen Eddie's work a year before, on one of my surgical patients. I couldn't help but ask where she'd gotten them done and she told me. My tattoo still looks amazing, almost as if it had been done very recently. The pricing was fair, I think. It's pretty big, multi colored...and a cover up. My next piece is going to be way more complicated, but if it wasn't, I'd definately go back to these guys!
