Highly recommend Sky at Sky Ink in Katy Tx, look at this beautiful piece! The detail is incredible,…read moreshe is very light handed and was able to knock this piece out in 1 session. Sky far exceeded my expectations with this tattoo. I gave her a lot of freedom and I think she really loved the project as much as I did. The atmosphere is fun and trendy, yet comfy and cool with couches, fun neon signs, and honeycomb LED lighting on the ceiling. They also have some snacks available. If you are looking for quality fine line work, Sky is the artist to see. Sky, how can I thank you enough for the confidence you've given me with this tattoo? Truly priceless! Thank you for your time, attention to detail and heart to heart chats. I felt like I came in a stranger and left a friend.

March 2026 Update: I recently reached out to the studio…read morebecause their public response to my original review came across as sincere and open to making things right. They apologized for the miscommunication, acknowledged the issue, and invited me to return so we could "discuss how to make it right." However, when I contacted them privately, the tone was completely different. Instead of the openness expressed publicly, I was told they "don't think we would be the best fit" because I had shared my experience in a review. The message was defensive, dismissive, and focused on reiterating their pricing rather than addressing the actual concerns I raised -- the inconsistency, the lack of transparency, and the way I was treated when I returned to the shop. I'm adding this update because there is a clear difference between the studio's public-facing tone and their private follow‑through. I reached out in good faith based on their own invitation, but the response I received did not match the sincerity shown in their public comment. Future clients deserve to know both sides of the interaction.

Not just the details, but his expression... it feels like him is with me. This tattoo means so much to me, and Johnny handled it with so much care and intention. You can tell he really understands how important pieces like this are. Publik Studios is also beautiful--calm, private, and almost spa-like. The whole experience felt peaceful and really special, which made it even more meaningful. I'm so grateful for this piece. I can't stop looking at it!! Thank you Johnny!

tl;dr johnny and melanie make a great team. They work well together and their personalities differ…read morebut work well at making you feel comfortable and welcomed in the studio. The place is kept really clean and Johnny even offered snacks during a break. It's a private studio which is nice because I don't really a big fan of random people popping in while I'm being worked on. 5/5 In depth review of the whole process. Objective: Booking periods happen only so often. I submitted my application with two concept ideas. I received my email October 2nd telling me I was selected for the Feb/Mar cycle. I paid my booking deposit then gave them my availability, they worked with my availability and I was scheduled for March 15th. Once the appointment was confirmed I told them I'm willing to switch appointments if necessary to work around his other clients. My appointment date remained the same but my time was moved to 7am which was nice. Johnny reached out February 16 for a confirmation on the exact design (I kept going back and forth sending in different things) and March 8th I got a courtesy email for my upcoming session. I showed up to the studio and Johnny was finishing up the final design. We talked briefly on the different aspects of shading and line work but I told him that I trusted him because he's the artist and he knows what will probably look best for the final piece. The session was about 6 hours with 3 breaks. Snacks and beverages were provided. The studio itself is open with tall ceilings. It has couches and a long meeting table. The tattoo I got cover parts of my chest, my sternum, some ribs, and my upper abdomen. It was a painful tattoo Subjective: The booking process was really nice and communication from his assistant was nice. I think he got a new assistant sometime after my appointment was confirmed, nothing was wrong with his old assistant but his new one Melanie has a much more welcoming online persona. Her personality in person matches it too. Johnny comes off as a casual laid-back guy. He's nonchalant yet he's very interested in his clients. He gave me a sense of autonomy throughout the whole process. In hindsight I gave him very little to work with and while doing the final touches he was asking me what I liked specifically about the reference pictures. I sent him a couple of pictures of different designs by other artists and it was really nice to know he took them into consideration. I've been to an artist before where I brought in printed references and the artist glimpsed at it then pulled out the sketch he already had before I showed up. While I was being worked on the pain was too much for me to handle in the beginning, given the location and design it's expected to hurt. I asked if I could have a break after the main outline was done and Johnny agreed. I didn't feel any mental resistance from him. He wrapped up the area so I could go outside and get some fresh air. After that I didn't have to ask for breaks, Johnny stopped and gave me two more. I'm not sure how but Johnny knew when I was getting reaching my threshold. Given he's had years of experience I'm sure he's picked up a 6th sense on how to read people. After the main outline was done Johnny stopped and asked how I wanted the rest of the session to play out. I told him I'd prefer to do the top part of my tattoo because I knew the bold lines would hurt more and I personally like having the most painful part of a tattoo done first. Johnny is the first artist to give me that option. Johnny himself as a person is hella cool. During the whole session we didn't talk much which was nice because I just wanted to relax (i'm on spring break from nursing school and my life since august has been studying so I actually don't know how to talk to people anymore lmao). From our conversation Johnny comes off as someone who wants to know his clients. This isn't just another transaction for him. He asked me questions to get to know me but he never pushed me to share. We both shared stories and aspects of lives that were interesting. Melanie went out for a bit and offered to pick something up. Johnny asked if I wanted anything which was really nice and I asked for coffee and a sandwich. When she came back I offered to pay and Johnny told me that he'd pay for it ( johnny is just nice af). This is my opinion but getting a tattoo is only cool after you get it. When I'm getting work done I'm being vulnerable to the public. I'm not a fan of getting work done while random people walk by watching me trying to hold myself together. The whole process is just painful and it sucks. I like this studio because it's just him and his assistance. Overall I had a really great experience. It's only been 4 days but I wake up every morning still in awe at his work. Pros: Johnny is cool Melanie is nice final product is dope snacks privacy Cons: that shit hurted

As you can see, this place can do some seriously sexy tattoos for some seriously sexy people. They can do big ones and they can handle it just fine. So they're very professional and very sexy and very in tune with the human body. My friend who is in porn is covered in tattoos from head to toe, and she thinks these guys are some of the best in town. I paid for at least one of her tattoos at this place as well as some others at other places, and this one is the one that we both agree is the sexiest. And the most professional too. Of all the tats I've gotten her, this is her fave. Of all her tats in total, this is in her top 5 and she has at least 50 (not exaggerating).

He takes the time to go through your requests so that you know what you're in for and he actually cares how they look as well. He spent the time thinking about how the Helix I just got lined up with the one I got 5 years ago. I ended up fainting for the first time in my life probably because I had very little sleep and didn't eat for several hours before but he took care of me and made sure I had my energy up before leaving and walked me out. He's a good man who does good work. I think I need one more before I'm done for good and will be back. I recommend him to anyone who needs to get pierced.
