How much does an arm sleeve tattoo cost here?

They charge by the hour, so it depends on how detailed it would be. Everyone in the shop does amazing work. You should contact them directly to ask for a quote.

Loved the whole experience! No dumb deposit agreement…read more they are legit - super nice guy running the front desk, you sign paperwork, they check ID's, they look at what you want and answer all questions, and let you know the prices for the type of tattoo size! super amazing decent prices and you pay in the front before the tattooing begins. The tattoo artist "Eli" that worked on my sister and I was patient and funny and kept it as an easy going environment. He did an amazing job on our tattoos! Very nice place - bright lighting inside, seating area, restrooms. All around great experience 5/5 definitely recommend to anyone looking to get some nice tattoos and piercings

Let me preface this by saying I was excited that the shop looked / smelled immaculate and the…read moregentleman in the front was friendly. Inquired about the tattoo process and the person scheduled me for a consultation at 11:30am the next day I get to my consultation the next day and the gent was cordial again and said the artist would be there shortly. I suffer from social anxiety and I tend to fidget around people, I try not to but it's difficult. Any how, I'm waiting. The reception man looks at me occasionally to ensure me the artist is coming. Fast forward 40 mins and I inquire if the artist was coming. The man turns irate, hostile and bereft of kindness, his vocal timbre harshness and his eyes narrow. He says, "you've already asked 3 times (mind you, I have not inquired since getting there) he's coming or you can just leave, you're not an appointment just a consult." I ask why he's being hostile and he repeats himself, your a consultation not an appointment you can just leave. I say thank you and I leave. I was excited about the prospect of a tattoo shop that actually operates like a business with schedules and social decorum. I suppose I was wrong about my first impression of this place.

I had hoped in Moe as he goes by. He definitely has a mouth to self proclaim his fame, knowledge…read moreand experience but he failed big time in all areas. Even after acknowledgement of misaligned work, and missed ink he had promised his work to be fixed. I called, texted, came to McAllen, management (tall heavy set guy) could not make him fix the work or even come in. He had us waiting yesterday, Saturday and had us come in Sunday at 12. It's past 3 pm and he has yet to come in. Won't answer his manager as we are waiting and waiting. Small man the so called owner who doesn't have balls, says he can't be fixing someone else's work that they got paid for. What should had been a lifetime memorial tat turned out to be a great disappoinment. If you care about your skin, your goals and dreams don't show up at this place. Heed the warning. Stay away

I had 2 appointments both times chano dude was 30 mins late. Said his coworkers were hungover the…read morefirst time made me reschedule. 2nd time 30 mins late and was in the back talking to a girl for about 15-20 mins about a cover up. I arrived at 12 by the time he got to me it was 1. Very unprofessional!! Had my deposit for a month and i was supposed to sit there while he sketched my shit.. nah i asked for a refund wasted my time. Asked for a tattoo bigger then the size of a paper he was showing me and he said, "Oh we cant go bigger then that its... its something only tattoo artists would understand" like dude you should see the tat on my ribs wtf.... he actually was looking at our short ass messages for 10 mins to see if i said i wanted it big... which i did. Anyways i was willing to throw money at this dude and he said he couldn't make it bigger then a sheet of paper. 30 mins late both times and i wasnt gonna let his sleepy ass tattoo me. Very unprofessional!!
