Visiting from Hawaii, I went to this place due to 5 star review on Yelp. Joseph (owner) and…read moreeveryone else in the shop was very professional and friendly. I was a walk-in and he was able to make time for me. Not once. But twice. I went back the next day for another project ink. He not only met my expectations but he exceeded it. His ideas and attention to details is impressive. Joseph made any adjustments along the way to fit my interest. He always made sure I was happy with the results. And I was always left beyond happy. I appreciate you and will definitely be back. The whole vibe of the shop is relax. Makes getting tatted a bit less painful if that makes sense lol. Aloha and Mahalo.

I recently had the privilege of getting a tattoo done by Jim Sweeney at Forever Art Tattoo in…read moreCorpus Christi TX and Holy !$#@ !! It was an absolutely incredible experience. Jim's expertise and artistic talent are beyond compare, I cannot express enough how impressed I am with Jim's work,talent and skill. Jim's 30 years of experience shine through in every aspect of the tattoo. From the intricate details of the Koi fish and dragon to the vibrant colors and lifelike appearance of the cherry blossoms, it's evident that Jim's artistic abilities are on another level. If you're looking for an unforgettable tattoo and the experience of working with one of the best artist and tattoo shops in Texas.I highly recommend Forever Art Tattoo and, in particular, Jim Sweeney.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. The guy Richard, walked in smelling like marijuana. Immediately…read moregiving me a red flag. He tripped over his chair and his own feet twice. He was shaking. He touched everything he possibly could with bare hands, including the inside of the ink holders with his fingers. His unwashed hands, touched the needles. And when he asked me to see the picture of what I wanted, he acted like we never texted and was confused on his own words. He forgot he told me on text that color ink is a $10 upcharge. When he walked in he told me it was $20 but stuck with the $10 previously. And when I said I didn't want my tattoo anymore, he said the set up fee was $50 when the tattoo and tip was going to be $39. I tipped $40 and left to avoid incident. I do not recommend going to Richard at Forever Art. Horrible vibe with him from the start. Also avoid getting a sickness or worse with unsanitary habits. Go with someone else, or even elsewhere. A guy walked him after me and got his tattoo started in minutes. Richard from forever art, was clearly out of his mind at that time. Mumbling under his own breath as if he was mad at life. And mixed him together and responded with anger. All while I'm here for a small flash tattoo. Wasted my time and money and a good shower I had before meeting him.

While she was living with us and I was taking care of her during Hospice, we had this saying that we would do before bedtime every night, this the premise behind the Dinosaur and Toast... See you later, Alligator After while, Crocodile Love you more, Dinosaur Love you most, Burnt Toast Timmie was so wonderful, he gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and NEEDED even though I kept changing my mind on color, or no color, etc... going back and forth. He was so kind and patient. Now I can look at this tattoo and smile through my sorrow and will think of her and our close bond that we shared. I love this tattoo, it means everything to me.

Losing our fur baby this past January was extremely hard. I asked for a memorial tattoo of her for…read more"Mutter's Day." My husband did some research and found "Home Port Tattoos." My husband corresponded with Bob, one of the owners, and explained what we were looking for in a tattoo. Bob was empathetic about our loss and communicated well with my husband to make sure I got the right appointment for my tattoo. The tattoo parlor was giving fun and sarcastic vibes. There was an endless amount of decor to look at, and we definitely chuckled multiple times. Bob and Courtney, his wife and co-owner, were so kind and easy to chat with. My tattoo took about 3.5 hours and I am obsessed! Bob captured our beloved Mama girl perfectly. You can feel her sweet, and beautiful soul through the art. I would highly recommend this business and we'll be going back for more tattoos.

Got my nipples pierced by Dani after seeing all the positive reviews- they were right!…read more I had visited the shop's Instagram and seen a video of the place, and will say I think the video did a good job capturing the cool vibe. The shop is nice and spacious, and the biggest thing for me- is clean!!!! I am a bit of a germaphobe and I felt very at ease. I was a tad nervous and shaky, and Dani (as said in the reviews that I had seen) did a very good job of making me feel comfortable and even further easing my anxiety. I walked in wanting just the one and was quoted $60, so I figured both would be $120.... Nope! After the first one (4-5/10 pain) she (Dani) said to me "you're sure you don't wanna do the 2nd one?" And I said "so that'll be $120?" "Nope, just the $60" I said "say less" (2nd did hurt more which I was expecting; 5-6/10 pain)... Walked out with both and couldn't be happier! More for the vibe, I went back to the front when I was done to show the girls working up there, they were all so awesome! So girlhood! (The men were also very nice, one overheard me saying I was nervous and gave me a stress ball) In addition to the amazing pricing of the actual piercings (jewelry included, both nipples for $60), I thought that the aftercare products available for purchase were also very reasonably priced. I bought 2 products and my total was $74.87. (And I did give 6 $1s as a tip bc it's all the cash I had ((bc the shop accepts Apple Pay)) and Dani wouldn't take more and didn't make me feel bad for not having more cash on hand to give her, which I appreciated) I really have no complaints about my experience- 10/10 would recommend! Clean and cute space, nice, cool people, and Dani in particular was very professional and quick!

Well... this review is mainly about a tattoo artist named Danni Magee. The Phat Tats place was…read moreclean, other artists seemed friendly, and an overall great atmosphere. We originally walked in with some friends and got an appointment with tattoo artist Danni Magee to create tattoos in memory of our 15 year old son, who we lost 2 years prior. We went back 2 days later for our appointment. She seemed a bit bossy with others (so I thought she owned the place, but she doesn't), and she seemed a little too "sure of herself" but I loved what she drew up from the pictures I gave her and went ahead with the tattoo. Even when my husband was trying to explain what he wanted, she cut him off and said " I got this. Don't worry about it!" Which might be these case, but she should have taken the time to listen when someone is describing something permanent they are placing on their body and is nervous about it. Her "chair-side" manner leaves a lot to be desired. Beware if she doesn't like you, as She talked about putting hidden "dicks" in people's tattoos... kind of immature. She seems to have an "issue" with a lot of people and talks negatively about them. She only completed 1/2 of my husbands tattoo, she seemed agitated, in a hurry, it was late, I guess she was tired and ready to go home (in all fairness we were there almost 6 hours for two tats) and we were told I would need to come back for color touchups in mine, and he would need to complete his tattoo at a later date and do his color then. Kind of disappointed, but we agreed to come back weeks later after they healed. We called to make an appointment (two hours away from where we live) so she could: A) Finish up the tattoo she started on my husband but didn't get to finish (though we paid full price already) B) Do my touch up (as we were told touchups were included) She seemed super rude on the phone when she booked my husband's return appointment, and then we asked if I could get mine done the same day since we were traveling from out of town. Then she told us "Well, I guess I'll have to reschedule my paying customers to do you two" - as if we didn't pay already. Then My husband tells her, "No, you don't need to do that, we can come another time when you have an opening", she said, "well too late its already done!" In a very rude voice. Then she said "Look its my day off and I would like to get back to being with my family" with serious attitude in her voice. She acts as if we are inconveniencing her... which is crazy. Super unprofessional in my opinion. I told my husband this morning that this memorial tattoo means a lot to me, and while I am happy with the design and how it came out for the most part, I don't want her ugly attitude and bad energy to be the one that finishes the color on mine. I think we will take our chances and pay more to get them finished/touched up somewhere local. Unfortunately money lost, but lesson learned, and I would never recommend her to anyone.

So, ya want some ink? When the urge to get fresh ink hits,…read moreyou definitely wanna to keep a few things in mind and do a little research. Are they established? Are their artists posting their work? Is it CLEAN! Is it a "tourist" type of joint ... or are their locals going there to get their work done? Well let me tell ya, Electra Art ... checks off all the boxes! I was referred there by locals who visit regularly. Upon entering, a clean, classic tattoo parlor vibe was very prevalent, but not on steroids. I was greeted by (and subsequently worked on) by Danni. **Quick aside, Danni is THE lady ya want doin your work. She's no nonsense, gives it to ya straight but has a light hand and her work is straight legit! No shade on the other artists ... but she was mine and she's awesome!** The space is well lit, clean and the artists have their own spaces which affords some privacy. Danni was very open to what I wanted and walked me through the necessary tweaks to make my idea land right on the skin! She explained every step and executed like a champ! We talked during the process and got to know each other. She gave clear instructions and the entire process went smoothly. All in all, a great experience from a great artist at the oldest tat joint in Corpus Christi! Thanks Danni!!! Thanks Electra Art!!!
