Me and my best friend went in to this shop to get a MATCHING tattoo, and tiny little lines. We asked for a dainty little heart tattoo (very simple design), and he made a request to change our design. So we did and then he wanted to change the size of it because it was too small. Anyways come time to getting the tattoo he was very unprofessional and making jokes too his other coworker doing a tattoo to go deeper on my friend because shes "bad" and making a bunch of rude comments towards her. They acted very unprofessionally and our tattoos are dark and arent even straight lines, nor are the hearts "matching."Not even to mention this was my first tattoo read more

Great tattoo shop! They have some really nice artists and it's such a vibe. I highly recommend!

Vibe is chilled and welcoming, staff are friendly and funny, and my piercer MATT X is extremely talented and I'm bringing friends back up to him today to be a canvas for his artistry and to experience his greatness! I 100% recommend him and will continue to return and ask for him specifically! read more

Infamous Ink - Flat Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Waco, Texas

So I've always favored infamous ink over the years but I went by on Valentine's Day and paid 144$ for a name tattoo that was 1.) miss spelled and then corrected after the artist took a picture to show me what it looked like after he was done , then I followed all after care instructions with the 2nd skin that was put on me but my letters are so patchy and just horrible. To have paid almost 150$ for a simple medium size tattoo I would had hoped for something better as an end result.... Doubt I'll ever be going back for any services of any kind. read more

I got a walk-in tattoo service from Crash. Crash was very nice- as well as the other artist (Tawnya, I believe) who was in the room! They both talked to me the whole time (which I was grateful for because I was nervous). They were incredibly friendly. My tattoo looks great. I had originally wanted a different placement, but Crash and I decided that this placement would look better. He was right. I'm grateful for his honesty and advice. I am very happy with the result! The pricing was also great. read more

We just moved to Waco from Tucson and looking for a new tattoo shop. We went to an Infamous Ink and a young lady named Tawnya is a new apprentice to the shop gave me some new ink. I absolutely love it, she did so well I will be definitely going back to her very soon. Thank you Tawnya read more

fire matix. had to go somewhere else to get my shitty piercing fixed because he refused to let me check the placement, nor did he even put a dot on my nose to check where he himself was piercing. he didn't even wipe down the inside of my nose. I literally have video proof of him basically freestyling, my piercing. even my friends, who were there with me, immediately told me the second that we got into the car to take it out because it looked so bad. thank God I went to another place immediately after because I was sobbing and felt so ugly, they immediately knew who my piercer was and told me that he sucked. unfortunately, their piercer just left so I had to go somewhere else. The second place I went to, they pierced me perfectly and actually let me look at where they were placing it. on top of that, they ALSO knew the piercer who fucked me over (matix) and told me that he got fired for stealing. matix puts the "infamous" in "infamous ink". if I get a keloid from his work, I will be contacting a lawyer. BUT, the front desk lady was so kind and sweet though, also super efficient, and she made the legal papers process very easy. I give her a 5/5. So overall, matix was infamously known at TWO other tattoo and piercing places, and I don't know why he was hired to this one. read more

Wacos oldest and best tattoo and piercings studio! Talented artists and patient staff. Clean, pleasant welcoming interior. Good pricing.

Got a tattoo by Mark the other day and I couldn't be happier! He turned my inspiration picture into an amazing piece of art! He absolutely crushed it and I will definitely be back for more in the future. Along with getting a flawless tattoo, the staff here was very friendly and helpful too so it made the experience even better! read more

Infamous Ink - Piercing Near Me - Waco, Texas

There is no personal connection - it's more like cattle branding. Be explicit when you call so they can tell you what to bring to be pierced- if you don't ask they won't offer! Expect to wait and have little to no information regarding choice, care, etc. Not every piercing is a good choice for every body! A good piercer will explain this and give you options as well as after-care instructions. If you insist on going to Infamous, you will need to do all the research on before and after care independently. Have personal experience with other shops elsewhere and I think Infamous does well in Waco because... it's Waco. There isn't much competition so they don't have to perform well. For something permanent to your body... might be worth a drive elsewhere! read more

The owner messaged and apologized for whoever answered the phone as they were incorrect and they do give balls if you just got pierced. Definitely wish some of the people were kinder, but overall it's okay. read more

If you plan on bringing your preteen here to get their ears pierced, think again. We walked in with my 12 year old's birth certificate & my ID (parent) & I was told that she needed a government issued ID as well. When I told them she didn't have one because she's 12, they said a school ID would work, even though a school ID is definitely not a government issued ID. I told them she didn't have that either because her school doesn't issue them, but that I do have professional school pictures that have her name across them, & they said they couldn't accept that even though it would definitely be the same thing as a school ID since neither one are government issued. They tried to say it was a health department rule, but we walked out & called 3 different tattoo shops in the Waco area, which all said that all she would need is her birth certificate & the parent's ID since she is only 12!!! read more

We were advised to get in early because they don't take appointments on the weekend. I'm glad we did! The crowd started coming in about an hour after opening. I showed a picture to give them an idea of what I was looking for and was connected with Dallas Lopez. He was able to design me exactly what I asked for. His work space is clean and him & his room mate have Netflix. So I got to watch a zombie killer series while getting my work done. Lol! Overall I was blown away by my work and myself and my fiancé look forward to him starting my sleeve & finishing his. The 2 hour drive was worth it! Check Dallas out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Went in for my daughter to get her naval pierced. My DL, her permit, & birth certificate that we used for her cartilage & nose piercing was not good enough. If it was good enough for the last 2 visits, what made today different? The only difference was my black husband was with us today. IDK was the real issue was, but have NO intentions of ever visiting again!!! All that same documentation that was accepted twice in the last 1-2 years by you, was accepted at another place & they are even cheaper!!! read more

The other night, my friends invited me to tag along for spontaneous piercings, and I expected the wait to be extremely long due to the crowd that was waiting, but we were brought back right away! The front desk staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about taking proper care, cleaning, and which ring to choose. I chose a gold hoop for cartilage piercing ($30), my friend got a stud ($25), and my other friend got a stud for her nose ($25). Tory, the woman who worked on us, did AMAZING! This was my third cartilage piercing, and she is definitely the best I have gone to. I felt no pain at all, and she was super funny and jokes along with you. My friend who got a nose piercing did not feel much pain either (she even decided to go back and get the other side of her nose pierced by Tory the next night- she decided she accidentally chose the wrong side...). Having someone who makes the experience fun and lighthearted makes it so much better! Afterwards, we paid at the front desk, and they really emphasized to drive safely and be careful- they were very compassionate here, which I​ haven't gotten at other tattoo shops I've​ been to. I 100% recommend going here and asking for Tory if you want a piercing​ or a few. read more

I drove 3.5 hours to get a tattoo from Lefty Colbert. It was worth every single second!! He and his beautiful wife are amazing people! The atmosphere is perfect! My tattoo was absolutely gorgeous! He spent 7 hours on my tattoo without complaining once! The conversation, movies, and music kept my mind off the pain and time seem to just fly by painlessly. If you want quality work and professionalism to the highest degree I would recommend booking an appointment immediately! read more

Got lobe ear piercings done and they turned out pretty good even though they're not exactly even on both sides. Front said the piercer just likes to be paid in cash only. Had to be charged an extra fee to use their atm. That was inconvienient not to know about in advance. read more

We got a tattoo yesterday for my friends birthday and it was easy so I didn't expect much time to be taken into it but when I saw the outcome it was jagged and tilted and uneven and there was a white space on one of the lines where it didn't look like there was ink. They were closing soon so I'm sure he was rushing but that's still no reason to do that with a permanent tattoo. read more

Went in on a Saturday. If you are not the first people in like, you can plan on being there all day. All of the artist were there this day and the waiting room was packed. The artist get finished pretty quick though. I was surprised by how affordable it was. I was looking for an original piece and felt like a personal touch could have been added. Overall, it was not a bad experience for me. I can not say the same for my sister. She will have to have the tattoo completely redone, covered up or removed. If you are in to what is hip and popluar, I'm sure this shop will satisfy you. read more

I've been here twice for tattoos and once for a piercing. Each time has been great but especially this last time! Dallas did my dad's first tattoo and after did a cross on my wrist to match the one on my dad's arm. I have 7 tattoos and out of all of them his was the least painful! Dallas has a very light hand! He is very steady handed as well. He is nice and very professional. I would definitely recommend him. read more

I feel tricked by all the good reviews of this shop. I suspect most are fake because my experience was not at all like what the reviews described. I wanted a tattoo with out strings attached. What I got was an over priced lesson about this shop. The simple tattoo came with a few things I didn't want to buy. I was falsely judged, the owner played games with me (before and after I had paid $700 for half of my tattoo ), and then when I posted a pretty generous review of my experience, the owner sent me a text message demanding I change my review and made some more ridiculous and judgmental claims about me like he knows anything about me! I am over this childish shit. Main point is this: Have a bad review of Infamous Ink? Beware of harassment and threats from the owner. Where is the roach spray? Star Ink in Waco is the place to go for professional service and talent you can trust. I regret having anything to do with this mega baby Lefty Colbert and his unprofessional shop. Don't go there! Don't do it!!! read more

I went to go get my nose pierced. Tory pierced it and put a ring in. When she pierced it, she pushed it halfway through and then changed the angle and shoved it completely through. This caused my piercing to grow a nasty red bump. I went back a few weeks later to get someone to look at it (because the bump, AND the ball of the ring fell off) , and after an hour and a half wait and the red headed front desk man helped me. He gave me a recommendation that didn't help much. I finally had to take the 35$ piercing out tonight because the bump won't go away. I'll have to get it re-pierced somewhere else. The people were friendly, but did not do things correctly. There is also a $60 minimum for tattoos. My friends went and got small ones and they were very overcharged. read more

Matt did such an awesome job on my piercings! My earlobes had closed, so I came to get them redone and my cartilage as well. As someone that has other piercings and experiences in other shops, I have to say Matt is by far the best I've seen. Unbelievably quick and painless. You should only go here for your piercing needs in Waco! read more

Today, I had the worst experience at infamous ink. Yesterday I took out my nose piercing that I had gotten in Austin after waiting the recommended period of time before taking it out. It came out easily and pain free. I cleaned it, replaced it and today set out to get a hoop. The girl at the desk was great. She helped me find what I was looking for. She told me that they even would change out my piercings for free and fit my new hoop to my nose. When it was my turn I went to the back and sat down in their chair. I knew something was wrong when there was a good amount of pain when my original piercing was taken out. The lady said this was unavoidable, even though I had gotten it out yesterday without a problem. She then attempted to put the hoop in and couldn't get it. She advised that if I was in this much pain I should just keep in my stud. So she cleaned it and then shoved it back into my nose at the wrong angle asking where I had gotten it done. I told her where I had gotten it in Austin (I had an amazing experience with them and hadn't even bled). She said they must use different angles than them and that my nose was bleeding and that I better wait another 6 weeks to change it and put ointment on it everyday or I'd get a keloid. I know for a fact that my nose had completely healed up before coming. Now my stud is no longer in the right spot and my nose is swollen and looks terrible. read more

My boyfriend and I drove down from Dallas to visit this tattoo parlor a friend had recommended. We arrived right as they opened and were helped right away. We both wanted medium to large tattoos. It was a fairly short wait time before we were getting tattooed by Casey. He did an absolutely amazing job. We are both EXTREMELY pleased. Casey was very receptive to the changes we wanted and used his own creativity and talent to create tattoos we both love. He was very professional, courteous and nice. We will be back for Casey's great work. read more
