    So good! I stopped by there yesterday and got some information about getting my nose pierced. I received a card with a QR code to schedule my appointment. My appointment was scheduled for 12:40 today. I arrived on time and got my nose pierced by Ray in just a few minutes. Ray was very kind and gave all the information I needed to care after the piercing. The needle going into my nose gave me a little tears from the light pain. I'm a painful person and expected more pain, but it went very well. Had very light bleeding. So far, it is still feeling good, and I'm loving it.

    Went in for my second helix piercing and saw ray very nice and extremely quick I get bad anxiety with needles and he made the process very easy by not making me wait a long time to do the piercing I would highly recommend, on day three now and the swelling is gone.

    2nd tattoo recently done by Sally.

    I've been here twice and both times with Sally. She does such great work, really listens to the details you provide, and helps with suggestions and improvements on whatever design you choose. Not too mention, she's really laid back and easy to talk to! The first I got was one for my mom and I that was a penguin design. It came out better than I hoped! And the same goes for my second tattoo that I just got a few days ago, of a phrase I resonate with. I'll definitely be going back to Magic Needle and will absolutely be scheduling with Sally. Love her work and attention to detail!

    As you can see it looks very chipped away. I got it about 3 weeks ago.

    Alright, for starters I got my second tattoo here and my first one I got at Lunar ink in Porter. There is a HUGE difference between my first and my second, the tattoo I got at magic needle is horrendous. It feels like it could peel off of my skin. My other one that I got In Porter feels like my actual skin but this one is just AWFUL. I 100% do not recommend coming here. The tattoo artist I ended up getting was very rude. I was very nervous because this was only my second tattoo and he was just very ugly to my friend and I. Anyways I recommend going to Lunar ink in Porter they do a WAY better job and all the staff there are amazing compared to here.

    Justin Villarreal's art work

    I've had 2 great experiences the past month. First I walked in (without an appointment but after reading through comments you probably should call ahead and schedule an appointment) and got my nose pierced by Ray who was able to squeeze me in before his next appointment. I have read through the comments and I can see how people would take him as rude but I think he is just straight forward, to the point, and not the guy to hold your hand. He is there to do his job which is to pierce whatever you want pierced. I actually got my nose double pierced by him at the same time with hoops! It was just extremely fast and has healed beautifully. Next I just went yesterday and got a tattoo by Justin Villarreal (I contacted him specifically because my sister has gotten a few tattoos by him). I cannot say enough great things about this guy! First off his customer service is the best I've ever had! I txt with him and discussed my tattoo over the weekend, he had availability this Monday. When I got there he hadn't been able to work on my tattoo before hand (it was Easter so I totally understood) but for the inconvenience he discounted my tattoo rate from $120/hr to $100/hr. Awesome. It took a while for us to come up with exactly what I wanted (I am extremely particular) but he was so patient and extremely accommodating. And to top it all off, his line work is impeccable! I am extremely happy with this new body art and I will definitely be back!

    Amazing experience with Misty G getting my first tattoo. She's a true artist & took my idea & ran with it. She was very thoughtful the entire time, and I feel like it was one of those meant to be things that she was my tattoo artist. I asked for a watercolor phoenix on my shoulder/upper arm with Still I Rise trailed over to my chest. It has a great deal of meaning to me, and she made the experience meaningful, too. Thank you, Misty G! I'll be back for sure!

    Piecing after a hour

    Got my navel piercing done by Ray... great experience my friend and I both got piercings and overall only spent about 10-15 minutes in the shop.. I've gotten my piercing done before at another place and had a horrible experience but this time around it was quick, painless, and smooth. Loved my piercing, I didn't experience any soreness or excessive bleeding and I was able to workout that same day.

    I love it!!!!

    I went here to get my birthday present. I had been there before for a piercing. I had an idea of what I wanted the tattoo to look like and explained it to the artist Sally Mander. She was amazing!!! It looked even better than I had hoped it would!! This studio has fantastic artists that are gifted. I will be recommending this studio to friends!!

    Does the 30 helix & 25$ earlobe piercings come with earring or is it just the piercing by itself?

    I got a tattoo from a separate place then went to Enduring for another & had him check out that…read moretattoo I got from somewhere else. He told me that it would bleed probably within the next year & he was right... I've got 10 piercings & 3 tattoos over the course of 7 years from Jason. Super honest dude & will tell you straight up how a tattoo/piercing would look with placement & over time. If u don't like honesty then don't come here lol. I love all my piercings & tattoos!! They come out so cool

    The tattoo artist with long hair is a complete dumbass when it comes to work. Either that or he's…read morelazy asf. I showed him the tattoo and he said it was impossible to do due to the level of detail. It was a side neck tattoo from my ear to the end of my neck and for whatever reason he had come to the brilliant conclusion that he had to fit the whole tattoo on his 4x6 business card??? He rejected to do all the back up art I tried to give him, which were literal branch designs, and not only told me he couldn't do it but said I couldn't get it the way wanted it and it would have to be upside down with the end of the branch growing upwards because thats how trees grow. If I wanted my tattoo a certain way dont tell me you're going to do it another way, I clearly wanted it that because its for ME!?After like 10mins of being rejected of any art I saved, I asked what would be a possible design to do he had the nerve to tell me it was an infinite possibility! He planned on charging me $150/hr as well!!! I went about 15mins down the street to Atascocita and not only got the first design I wanted for $120 but it took less than an hour to do so!!! Literally walked in, showed the guy the design and he said "yeah we can do that" in less than 15 seconds of looking at it! Either way do NOT go to this guy! There are cheaper and def better artists!
