Tyler was very sweet and gentle and went over everything needed for a tattoo. The place itself is a eclectic and beautiful I love all of the art pieces. Tattoo was priced just right and all the piercings are well priced as well. Got a tattoo of my moms name for my birthday. If you need a tattoo or piercing come here the staff is amazing and welcoming. Will be back again.

i love the vibe and the service. My friends and i personally went to Kaylee. She's amazing, fast, clean. She's super informative and helpful, overall great experience. Both our piercings and tattoos have healed well and look great.

First off I see it's some softies complaining on here like they have never been to a tat shop or heard grown folks conversation? But anyways my boy Frankie is the truth did a septum & both my nostril piercings before I moved to ATX. The quality was awesome gave me great info for after care. He also did my Jackal tat which is incredible especially because normally I've had problems with artist not being able to capture great detail on my skin but Frankie knocked it out! When I come back in town I'll definitely be visiting skin stories the vibes are always off the chain & the work speaks for itself!

Thanks so much Frankie for helping me out! I had shoulder surgery two days ago and had to take out all of my piercings for the surgery. I'm so happy I happened to pop in here. Frankie was so friendly and quickly was able to help me get all my piercings back in - I'm staying with my parents post operation and they don't have the dexterity or eye sight for the task.. Thanks again Frankie ( @13goats ) Hope you have a great holiday season!

Another tattoo means another positive review for brittani. She really has the lightest touch for an artist and she is amazing at what she does. I knew what I wanted going in, had texted beforehand letting her know my husband and I would be coming. It was Friday the 13th and there was a huge crowd but she was available for us. In and out in about 3 hours and we both left extremely happy with what we got. You can't go wrong here. It's a friendly atmosphere and beyond that the artists are great. Love love love this tattoo shop. Can't speak more highly of it.

Walked in to Skin Stories tattoo on a whim to get my eyebrow re-pierced because I had been regretting for years letting it close up. Frankie hooked me up and was totally awesome. Super quick, super professional, and super cool dude. I'll definitely be coming back to him for all of my future piercings. Thanks, bro, I love it!

I originally got all of my piercings with Skin Stories 3 years ago, and most of them have now closed up. I finally decided to come back, and Avery (lilstrawberryink) took care of me today. She welcomed me, heard me out, and catered my experience to my situation. She educated me on the process, and made me feel great again! I am so glad that I came by today! read more

I scheduled an appointment here last week and made a $60 deposit only to find out that my day scheduled got double booked for the day I wanted, I didn't have a problem with rescheduling for the next day and coming back so I did that. My appointment was set for 5:30, mind you the artist charges $150 an hour. It took her 45 minutes to pretty much copy and paste two simple pictures together for a tattoo(I say simple because both of them weren't original and easily traceable) , then I sat and waited, getting started around 6:20 on the actual tattoo. The tattoo itself took maybe two hours to do, which isn't bad at all, but she charged me for three hours, including the time that I waited for her to draw out the tattoos and get set up. When I brought it up to her, she says she normally charges from when the time that she starts DOING the actual tattoo on you but because she "normally wouldn't charge for a tattoo like that" I got charged for the time I waited, which to me doesn't make sense. I guess I should pick less complex tattoos that don't require so much time to get set up and stencil. If you're just walking in looking for a place to get a tattoo that you know, you wanted definitely look for an artist that your friend may recommend, if you don't have someone that you know that goes here. If you're just getting a piercing, this place is definitely good with those read more

Piercer & tattoo artist Frankie, rescued my daith piercing from a previous poor job done by a piercer from a different parlor. Can't thank you enough!!! He's very professional, knowledgeable, patient, takes his time, pays close attention to detail, and is very caring and passionate about his craft! And to top it off, he kindly and generously declined my offer to pay for this service and high quality jewelry he provided. I think I've found my next piercer, and I know, he's a keeper. Thank You, Frankie! My next visit here at Skin Stories Tat2 is definitely in the works!!! Highly recommend this place. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I heard an employee commenting about looking with his black light for "SPLATTERS" on a young girl. It seemed as though this made her incredibly uncomfortable. He also commented about a "belly test" knowing full well it was inappropriate bc he mentioned loudly how the woman getting tattoo'd asked for his explanation knowing damn well he baited into asking. He is disgustingly unprofessional I dgaf if this is a tattoo shop or not, that's utterly inappropriate on many levels. That man is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I'll be telling many others about this and hope the owner removes this employee immediately. read more

After reading reviews for Frankie, my experience no longer shocks me. I recently came to the shop with my sisters because my little sister wanted a tattoo. She messaged Frankie via Instagram a few days in advance about getting the tattoo she'd been wanting and he arranged and date and time. All communication went well as far as planning went. However, once the date and time reached, Frankie was no where to be found at the shop. A girl at the front said he would be, "just a minute." We sat and waited for him for 35 minutes before he came into the shop. He didn't come back to the front until the same girl let him know that there was a customer here for him. He asked everyone waiting who was there for him and we raised our hands. He asked my sister what she wanted (didn't ask her name or have any manners at all) mind you, he had a photo on his direct messages of what she wanted so had he asked her any info about who she was he would know. Also, do tattoo artists not draw up what you send them so it is READY once you get there? He mentioned how he had so many people in his dm's so he couldn't recall my sisters name or the entire conversation they exchanged- at least that's what he implied. Well, if that wasn't already odd, he began insulting my other sister about her appearance. I'm not too sure if that is just his sense of humor but if he has common sense he should understand that not everyone takes insults as a joke. Especially if the insults are ALREADY something the person is insecure about. He then began asking our names maybe to try and rescue himself from the completely awkward and uncomfortable situation? Not sure. We were really excited about having him tattoo my sister but we will not be returning. I understand that we do not know him personally but if you are in a field where all walks of life walk in and are asking for your services, maybe learn some basic social skills? Like maybe not insulting people the second you meet them. Unfortunate and weird situation and I hope this isn't a reflection of his actual character and he was just having an off day- but according to the other reviews for him, I don't have much hope for that! read more

Went in with my friend to get simple tattoos. Some of the staff was very welcoming while others treated us like we were a burden. Came in wanting a small, simple tattoo (1-2inches). The artist (Solo) brought the design to me 4-5 inches and said it wasn't possible to make it smaller. After some back and forth he got it down to size. The tattoo itself is messy and the lines are not consistent. There is very little symmetry and it just looks rushed. read more

There's nothing better than a nice CLEAN tattoo shop!!! So my daughter, 14, asked to have a barbell pierced through her cartilage at the top of her earlobe. My husband & I agreed & since it was one of her Christmas gifts, I looked up places in my area & ran across Skin Stories Tat2. I called at 12:40am & the guy said that although he was closing up, he would wait for us to get there & give me a $10 discount. Sooo my daughter, son, & myself rushed on down. We walked in & the shop was very clean & well organized. Our piercer was awesome!!! Other places were hassling me BC my daughter is black & I am white so they assumed I was just bringing someone else's kid in. I showed my tax papers with my daughter's name & her volleyball brochure & there was no problem at all. He took us on back, made my daughter feel very comfortable, after all....she is a big baby lol, & before we knew it....bada boom, bada bing!!! Her barbell was in there!!! I'm a tattoo & piercing addict!!! I have removed all piercings that I got over the past ten years so I thought, well, I'm here, why not get right under my bottom lip pierced. After waiting 2 years to get my husbands ok, he called & said, Go ahead!!! YAY!!! FINALLY!!! I really like the guy that did our piercing!!! He was sweet, handsome, & made my daughter & I soooo comfortable!!! I already want to go back for another!!! If you're looking for a great tattoo artist, piercer, or personal trainer....hit up Skin Stories Tat2 & I guarantee you will be taken care of for a great price!!!!! read more

It's my go-to tattoo/piercing shop and I will not go anywhere else! Chris Carver and Javier have done most of my tattoos but I trust anyone there to tattoo on me.

I always recommend this place to my friends if they're ever looking to get a tattoo or piercing. Reasonable pricing and they do a great job.

Initially, I was a little anxious about knowing what to talk about while being tattooed/if it was going to be awkward, but James is super chill. He's open to chatting or just quietly vibing--whatever is comfortable for the client. There's a reasons I'm a repeat customer. 10/10 experience!

James was the best of the three different tattoo artists I've had. I got two pieces done with him…read morerecently and both turned out great. He was kind, honest, easy to communicate with, reasonable, clean, and most importantly talented. Was shocked at how quickly he is able to work too. 10/10 would recommend him.

I came in to get my jewelry changed and it was a great experience!…read more All the tattooers that I met were super nice and the jewelry change experience was quick and easy. We changed my helix from my starting jewelry to something with a shorter post since I got it pierced almost a year ago and the shorter post will help it heal easier with less movement. The studio was very spacious and clean and the ambiance was great. If you're looking for a piercer I'd definitely recommend Mary! Great bedside manner, very knowledgeable, and has great jewelry options!

Had an appointment today, and I'm pretty sure this is the cleanest and most welcoming tattoo shop…read moreI've ever set foot in. I got there a bit early and was greeted by David. Super nice guy. I loved listening to the artists talk among themselves and literally hype each other up. The vibe of this place is amazing! Chelsea did an awesome job on my tattoos: two in remembrance of my mom and one just for me. She was super sweet and easy to work with and I'll definitely be back! Loved everything about the experience. Great place!

I cannot recommend Lorelei enough! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable and listened to every detail of what I wanted. She has such a calming, friendly energy that immediately put me at ease, and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. Her artistry is incredible--clean lines, beautiful shading, and she really brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. She's also super professional when it comes to hygiene and aftercare, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the whole process. What stood out the most is how patient she was with my questions and how much attention she gave to making sure the placement and design were perfect for me. It wasn't just about getting a tattoo; it felt like a full experience with someone who genuinely loves what they do. If you're looking for a talented artist who's both skilled and kind, Lorelei is the one. I'm already planning my next piece with her! read more

If you're looking for a great place to get tattoos and piercings, wether it's your first or your 50th, Skin Stories is definitely the place to go. Frankie has done all of my tattoos and my piercings and is an AMAZING artist. He did an amazing job on my Medusa piece on my bicep and even free handed the face shading. It came out even better than I had hoped for and I plan on having him do most, if not all of my sleeve because I loved his work so much. Frankie has a really light hand and always has a way of making you feel comfortable when he's working with you. When he did my nose piercing I didn't even feel the needle go through. He's fun and goofy and will definitely make you feel the opposite of nervous or unsure when you come in. Bri is also another great artist at the shop who's done some really great tattoos on my boyfriend. The shop itself has great energy and great artists!! read more

This is a great Tattoo shop. I am 61 and got a 2 inch Harley D. tattoo on my arm about 30 + years ago. After I had it for a couple of years I thought it looked stupid so I covered it up with some wings. Although they were done well, I never really cared for them either. They didn't really say anything if you know what I mean. Well, my baby girl grew from a child to a woman and one day I mentioned that I would like another cover up. Through her photography business (Studio88 Photography & Design) she had met some tattooists. I tried to design something to cover my wings and discovered that I had no talent for this. I gave a picture of my old wings and told them to be creative and do what they do. I couldn't be happier with the results. I give this place an A plus.Very considerate, very clean. Didn't even hurt, lol. Not much anyway, read more

After spending countless hours looking for a tattoo artist, I thought I found the perfect place. I corresponded with someone from the shop back and forth via social media. Was told that there would be two artist one staff and it was first come first serve. Needless to say I drove over an hour to get here only to be turned away by two artist who claimed they had appointments coming. Ok, can you do a small wrist tat so it's not a wasted trip? The shop manager Elijah, states if his appointment doesn't show soon... then he starts playing a video game. I sat and waited and no one showed. Apparently, my skin wasn't light enough and my money isn't dark enough to be tattooed by the artist here. So even though their work is incredible, they don't tattoo people of color unless you're a star athlete or something. Highly disappointed!!! read more

There's a good amount of negative reviews on this site about their experience at skin stories. Maybe you should take that stick out of your rear and lighten up, because this is the only shop I trust with my body art. Elijah was very intuitive and did an amazing job with my first piece a year ago, and for the quality and price of the piece, I could not be happier, not to mention he waived the stencil fee. Look into Elijah's credentials and you'll see the passion he puts into his work and the many successful pieces he's completed. Not to mention I've gotten both my ears pierced at skin stories, and they both healed just fine. I will be back in a month for my other forearm piece, and I'm confident in Elijah's ability to make another beautiful piece. read more

came here to get my tragus pierced back in august. frankie did the piercing, and it was a great experience. im back in the area for the winter break and decided to get the jewelry changed. i brought my own jewelry and he changed it free of charge. the jewelry was shit though and my piercing was irritated af the following days after. i went back today to have him change it again but with the shop's jewelry and it's so cute, not to mention he did it free of charge once again which was super sweet. i'd highly recommend this shop and frankie if you are looking to get something pierced. shop is neat and clean and staff is cool. ill definitely be back. read more

Frankie did me and my sisters septum piercing and all I can say is he was a douche. He is a great piercer I'll give him that but he was just rude for no reason. He told my 16 year old sister that she had a "little crooked nose". Like who says that to a customer lead along a child. Then when I was back there getting ready to be pierced there was a girl in the back watching and Frankie was talking about something piercing related and not realizing he wasn't talking to me I was about to respond and he said " I'm not talking to you" and he did that twice. He said other things as well but this is the just of it. read more

Skin Stories Tat2 is always and will always be my tattoo shop to go to. It's never a bad experience. Every time I go I'm always greeted with enthusiasm by people that are happy to be there! Chris, Jess, Frankie, Brittney, Javier and Billy are all out of this world artists and they never fail to please! When I have an idea, I show them and they always go above and beyond my expectations. I've never experienced a more sanitary tattoo shop, and they have them just about on every corner in Houston. If you're looking for a shop, go to Skin Stories Tat2, I guarantee you will be pleased! read more

Skin stories is amazing and Frankie does an amazing job. He has done my back shoulder piece of my dog and my most recent spine tattoo. Through both of those he was very kind and funny and made me feel very comfortable especially when having to take my shirt mostly off for the spine tattoo and making sure everything was covered. I have nine tattoos, two from him, and will definitely be coming back to him for some more soon. He is great with drawing up exactly what you want and even adding a little of his own spin into it which honestly made it ten times better. read more

I've gotten 4 tattoos here and I'm beyond pleased with them. My artists name is Frankie & I've come back every time because of his attention to detail and overall great experience. This guy is extremely talented. Frankie makes sure the experience is personable and relaxed while still providing a great, memorable service. The other artists there and apprentice guy are nice as well. The shop is clean and masks are worn. If you're looking for a tattoo shop in the North Houston area, this is it! read more

I do not usually do reviews but this shop deserves a shout out. Since October I have been in the shop 10+ times the quality of the artists is amazing! They have an artist for all styles. Shout out to Renee and Frankie! They are amazing! They make you feel like your in a family environment with the banter. I will never go anywhere else. I come up there just to watch friends get tattooed and listen to the artist talk and pick on each other (in the funniest ways). read more

I had originally gotten my recent ear piercings done at this shop. The girl who did them was incredibly fast and efficient, I've never had an easier piercing. Yesterday I had to stop in again because I lost the ball for one of those piercings, I was prepared to just buy a new one to get the help. But Frankie was nice enough to just give me one and even helped me put it on. Very friendly people here, I'll likely choose this place any time I want a new piercing read more

In the span of two weeks I have had three tattoos and my nose pierced by Frankie. He was kind and made me feel extremely comfortable. He did an amazing job on my tattoos and piercings. Frankie also did my boyfriends tattoo and he consistently gets compliments on it. Everyone in the shop is kind and welcoming. Also shout out to billy who did my the quote tattoo on my thigh. Him and Frankie are definitely my favorites and I will be back to get tatted again. read more

The moment you walk in you are greeted with a fun and friendly atmosphere, as well as artists who are knowledgeable and talented in their trade! I have gotten all of my piercings and tattoos done at Skin Stories (except one that was done at their sister shop) including my 10 yr old daughter first ear piercing. Frankie was fantastic!

I've been here a few times now and I have to say every time has been wonderful. I'm naturally a pretty socially anxious person and hate doing things like this alone but the artists here are absolutely amazing and made everything super comfortable. Frankie has done my tattoos every time I've been there and he's awesome! This place has a great atmosphere and I'm definitely going back and have already recommended them to basically everyone I know. read more

My friend and I just got home from the store. Jeff was our artist tonight and he was great. He was super friendly, had a clean station and patiently tweeked the drawing until they were just perfect. The shop itself was clean, fun eclectic decor and super nice friendly staff. I would highly recommend Skin Stories Tat2 to any one looking great piece for a reasonable price. Thanks Jeff! Will definately see you again. read more
