    Astrid was my piercer and she did an amazing job! She is an APP piercer. The shop was a vibe and had good energy all around. Def recommend getting pierced or tatted here :)

    Bill killed it with my moth tattoo! I give him an idea, and show up for amazing work every time! He is very clean and professional. Some of my tattoos by him are over a decade old and they still look amazing! You won't be disappointed m!

    Went there about 5 months ago for a navel piercing, staff was super friendly and very attentive. They explained the piercing process very well (anatomy and guiding you through the procedure) and were very thorough on the aftercare steps. They have a great selection of proper jewelry to pick from and sell a really good antibacterial soap as well (lasted me almost a good 5 months). I finally decided it was time to switch my piercing out today for the first time and can definitely say I'm glad I went to this place. It healed really great and I had no irritation bumps or infections throughout the entire 5 months. Had zero pain or discomfort when switching it out. Definitely coming back here for future piercings and might even get some tattoos bc the designs they had all over the wall were very beautiful

    Wow!! Found this gem of a studio via Instagram. Was looking for a reputable tattoo/piercing shop that had lots of jewelry options and Virtue Tattoo was definitely the place to be! Easy process from check-in, piercing, to check-out. Probably only took no more than 30 minutes! Loved the fact that I didn't have to have an appointment and I could just walk in. Be prepared to be dazzled by all of the jewelry options because it was so hard to choose! All staff here that worked with me were friendly and super helpful. Tim who did my conch piercing and daith jewelry swap was above and beyond exceptional. So friendly and walked me through the whole process. I will definitely be coming back here for all of my tattoo and piercing needs. Cant recommend this shop enough!!

    About a year ago I went to Bailey Crowe at a tattoo shop in College Station when she was an apprentice. She did all of my tattoos, 7 of them, and the last one was by far the biggest piece but since I had, what I thought, was a good rapport with her I asked for a price quote and set up an appointment. It was a large bending moth piece on my leg. She said it would be $800 and two sessions. I agreed. After cancelling on my appointments several times, she notified me the day before session one that she wanted to just numb me up and crank it all out in one day. I trusted her so I agreed. After 4 hours my leg was shaking (it's a high reflex spot but I was feeling fine) so Bailey tapped me out. Rather than let me walk around and stretch, she told me I'd have to come back, that it would be an additional $200, and she made me pay the whole $800 right there. (I'm only 18 and fairly timid so I just did as told) my mom (I was still in high school at the time) went in and said this was not acceptable and got her to agree to just finish the tattoo since I was all paid up. Fast forward to last month. Bailey had moved to Virtue tattoo in Houston. Not wanting to rock the boat more, I agreed to come all the way to her new shop to get it done. As soon as I walk into Virtue I was met with total animosity. She was furious. She told me this is the last time she will ever touch this tattoo, do I understand? My first session with her was basic line work and shapes which took 4 hours. So naturally I assumed the second half would be another 4. 40 minutes into the session she declares she's done. She barely did any shading at all. I was so uncomfortable and stressed out that I just left but this was such a bad experience. It is clear that she rushed this, didn't care, and didn't try. I'm out $800 and will have to find someone who can salvage my tattoo. She blocked me immediately on social media. I recently spoke to people at her former place of business and they said she was rude, entitled, not capable of several things she claimed she could do, and overcharged immensely. I think virtue tattoo needs to be aware of all of this. I felt extremely used and taken advantage of. But a picture is worth a thousand words. Please see the attached reference photo and what she gave me. I approved her basic shape of the moth that she changed, but the expectation was a high level of detailed shading which I definitely did not receive.

    So let me start by saying I have close to twenty tattoos on various parts of my body, this is by no shake my first rodeo getting inked. Today was unfortunately the weakest experience I've had. The one star goes to the talent the artist had. To start, my artist was late. The shop manager or whatnot messaged him. Now mind you two days prior I came in, went over the design, and was told to expect text communication with a reference image. No such thing happened. Never heard from the artist. I saw my piece when I got there. The smoke coming from the blasted mark on the helmet wasn't even done, he sat beside me and drew it. Again, his skill was great, so I went with it. I'm definitely beyond thrilled with the artwork and the final result. It took well over 30 minutes for the area to be prepared. When it started I found there were no personal skills, no customer service, nothing but silence for hours. The artist ignored me but talked endlessly with coworkers. I never got checked up on during the process for pain tolerance, bathroom, nothing. I didn't even get notified when we shifted from outer lines to color.... That's a huge no for me. We may have talked color, but y'all gotta let the client pick their color. The artist may get to have fun expressing themselves, but for a first time client you need to make it customary like ANY OTHER shop to include the client in the color process and pick what YOU want. During this process there was some artist in there making sexual whining noises, acting as a child, the entire time. I've never in all my life been to a tattoo shop this unwelcoming and unsociable when it comes to clients. Unless of course they're tattooing their friends. Which was apparent that day. The artist, talented as he may be, is definitely not prepared for this gig. He lacked almost all of the supplies an artist needed at his station. How do you not have the necessary supplies ready for a scheduled appointment? It makes no sense to me. Homeboy took off in the middle of the session to purchase supplies... We were supposed to finish twice... but at both points of stopping the artist and myself noticed that A) a petal of the flower was left blank, and B) one of the detailed areas of the piece was left blank as well. Two points of missing detail on a relatively smaller piece. Definitely glad I noticed it and the artist corrected his error and was chill about getting it resolved fast. Again, great skill with the ink gun, but definitely not an excuse to miss something like that. Last point was the bandaging job... this was absolutely horrible. My new tattoo wasn't fully covered. I had no way of knowing this because of the spot on my neck until I got home. My wife who has zero tattoos pointed it out immediately. That pissed me off because under no circumstances is that acceptable. A single piece of PAINTERS TAPE held the bandage on. No further attempt was made to hold it on. Not medical grade face tape. I expected to put more tape on when I got home, but I definitely was angry to find out that I needed to make a dummy bandage for sleeping as that tattoo was done in the evening. Insanely unprofessional and unsanitary. Not to mention, he didn't even bother going over aftercare at all. Regardless if a person has several or not, it's customary to mention. Poor service all around. Am I happy with the final result? Absolutely! Was the artist good at his craft? Definitely. Despite those pros, everything else was a complete failure that I absolutely won't be returning.

    I dm'd Ericka through her ig and she responded right away, put a deposit down and me and husband saw her within a few hours! We both got a kewpie Christmas flash. She was so cool and QUICK. Highly recommend her for any tattoo. Everyone else there is super cool too. Me and my husband took turns holding our one year old and everyone was so sweet!

    This are some of my tattoos none of them was more than 90 and they look good after 3 years tbh

    It's been almost a year since I went there and I can't forget the unsatisfactory bad experience I had. My friend and I decided to get matching tattoos we came in around 9pm to get a consultation and this guy told us there was no time to get tattooed so we told him that was fine we just wanted to make an appointment to what he responded super rude that nobody on the shop had availability until 2 or 3 weeks at this point I was already upset since he gave me an attitude but my friend wanted to get her first tattoo so I asked him if I could see their catalogue so we could pick something small that they could do in around 20 minutes he agreed, gave me a bunch of albums and my friend said she wanted a heart I wasn't that exited since I had around 8 tattoos at that time so It wasn't my first experience but this guy thought we both didn't know what a tattoo was because he was making absurd comments on how people decides to have something basic when it's their first time which I should've told him something but I decided to stay, anyways he tells me It'll take time to set up his station to wait in the waiting area then he calls me to start after 8 minutes he's done, he calls my friend after 8-9 minutes he's done... we go to pay and he says it's $75! Yes, $75 each at this point I'm done I don't wanna argue so I pay and leave What upsets me it's not just the price I don't care about money because when it comes to quality I'll pay fuck it, it's the attitude, and if I'm paying 75 dollars for a fucking tattoo the least I expected was to be perfect... come on I got bigger tattoos none of them healed this way and they look 100% better for the same price... hopefully he's not working there anymore but if he is then be on the look for a white one with a full sleeve red and black ink there's my review :)

    Erika did my tattoo... to perfection. I wen tin for a quote and she was super helpful. I returned the next day for my appointment and she had sketched out my vision. She reassure me I was in good hands and that she would be gentle. It was a painless experience and she finished quicker than what she quoted.

I went in for a free consultation & ended up having my first session right after, during the same appointment! I had been debating a while to inquire about tattoo removal & so happy I finally visited The Eraser Clinic. I was in/out quickly. There was a little pain during (a little more than getting the tattoo) but the cold freeze they did during treatment reduced the uncomfortableness, and it was only 15 seconds of laser time for my small 1"x1" wrist tattoo. The laser tech explained the process & after care thoroughly. They offer several payment options including huge savings for prepay. I was told I would probably not see noticeable results until 2-3 sessions, but after just 1 there is slight fading on my lighter shaded areas! I am beyond ecstatic to see results so soon! Just a heads up - plan ahead if you want removal prior to a certain date, as sessions are scheduled with 6 weeks between - so it may take a year or so for full removal. Don't wait any longer - if you're researching & reading this review then it's time to invest in removal. I highly recommend checking out this new location & booking with The Eraser Clinic.

While I've had a few issues getting my paperwork transferred from clinic to clinic the staff at this location is worth driving back to every 8 weeks even if I choose to move again. Over the past year and a half they've been able to successfully remove two 1x1 inch tattoos for me and I'm a little further than halfway through the process for a larger piece on my shoulder. They've recently moved to a new system and it's nowhere near as painful as it was when I first started and I'm seeing results much sooner. All of the locations do a great job, but if you're in the Houston area at all it's worth the drive to come to this location!

However, I was not getting any results, if anything the acne was getting worst by the day I felt. I was searching for clinics on Yelp and other sites, I actually had a consultation with a dermatologist out of Houston and they could not provide a clear plan of care. So I was discouraged, not to mention the cost impact during COVID was a lot to think about. Gladly I waited and continued my search, low and behold I came stumbled across Medispa Institute! From the first day of calling to set up an appointment they were very kind and understanding to my availability. Upon arriving on the day if my appointment I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the office. They had such a relaxed and welcoming vibe, welcoming with smiles! They assessed my acne and provided a clear plan of care that has produced absolutely amazing results! They are really a game changer, so much that I have never left a review for any business but I am now! Thanks so much to the Medispa Team!

I had semipermanent eyeliner done last year & it was horribly botched and the touch up for my eyebrows done the same day was botched as well. Unfortunately I couldn't see the results until it healed. I thought I was going to have to live with it forever. I was searching everywhere & couldn't find anyone in state that had the corneal shields to protect your eyes during the procedure for the eyeliner removal. Let me tell you, after seeing that video & seeing that it was from a place in Houston I was beyond excited. After finding out that the specialist there had over 15 years of experience I was very pleased. And when you call to book your appointment you will speak with Cindy, she is fantastic & even nicer in person. Back to having your eyelid tattoos lasered, sounds extremely scary?? I can't even begin to tell you how scared I was, literally over almost nothing. I've heard all of the stories of how it hurts worse than the tattoo. It was over in 5 minutes & honestly wasn't really painful. They numb you up before the procedure. I can't even put into words how happy I am with how much the tattoo had faded with only one treatment and it is only about 5 months old which makes it harder to remove than an older, faded tattoo. If you are considering laser tattoo removal I would highly recommend MediSpa Institute! Coming from someone who had such little faith with this eyeliner that says a lot!! They are AWESOME!!!! Next will be the eyebrows! In the pictures I posted, the eyes are flip-flipped from right to left. First picture is the left eye you see first & in the second picture it is the right eye you see first. Just an FYI so you can compare, that was the first day. I am 4 days out & it's gotten even lighter.

The business is in a building that looks kind of like an apartment on the second floor. You walk into the location from the front of the pathway.

Upon getting to the door, there was someone hanging outside the door. We came up and said our names in our appointment and she immediately addressed us and brought us into their office setting. The office setting was pretty much like one room with a back room. The room was lightly lit ( red and black colors) and had a nice smelling fragrance. It reminded me of my patron the 70/80s who used incense back in the day. It was very clean and organized. The person who brought us in immediately start going over the expectations and after we said we understood she went to the back to get King. King came out with not a whole bunch of talking. He was all about business pulling out material, looking at the client, back to getting the materials and get into what was requested in our services. Quote from the girl who got the piercing: He cleaned my ear with an alcohol wipe and inspected it to make sure that it was fit for the piercing that I requested. Afterwards, he marked the needle and gave me a mirror to ensure the location of the piercing would be in the location I wanted. He did not overdo the small talk which I appreciate . When he pierced my ear, he was very gentle and made sure to make it quick. I would rate the pain an eight out of 10. Then he cleaned in my ear after putting in the jewelry and made sure it was right. When I looked in the mirror, I like how it looked. He gave direct instructions for cleaning, offered a bottle solution that I could purchase there (mixture of salt, water, and tea tree oil, $10) or as long as I got it for cleaning . I bought it from him and it provided me with what I need for it to heal properly. Lastly, he offered for us to come back if we had any questions, comments, or concerns and not to hesitate.
