Recently went to get dhalias , piercer put balls in my mouth instead of flatbacks and the bar was not nearly long enough for the beginning stages of healing , had to go to another piercer to get the ball forced out of my cheek. Inexperienced and I sufferred the consequences of it after paying almost 130 for both of them. Waste of money. read more

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 read more

Well what could you guys improve is your customer service, it was absolutely horrible. The employees were very rude not just to me, but to other people that were there browsing for tattoos. Let alone wanted to record my friend without consent when doing a tattoo gum-ball machine I just think it's funny with a place with 4.5 star reviews it's not the best. read more

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!! read more

my goodness they were so rude...I just wanted to know some information about my tattoo and they would just sound so sick of my presence.

The customer service is definitely lacking. My boyfriend and his 3 friends wanted to get a simple dragon ball tattoo. Not very large. They called ahead to make sure there was availability. They were told yes come on in Sundays we only take walk ins. They even talked about an estimate price and the tattoo they wanted. We make the 40 minute drive out and the guy at the counter gets the Information and goes to get a quote from the artist. One of the artists immediately makes a face and rolls eyes. He comes back and says sorry but they would have to come back another time and just hands them a card. He mentioned something about the "artist" not wanting to do a perfect circle. Look it's fine if u don't want the business or can't do the design but next time don't lm yes and wait for the customer to get there to just turn them away. What a fucking joke. read more

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. read more

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. read more

they have the coolest people that work here! everyone's so nice, 10/10 experience would recommend!

Tim is great! He's has done 4 of my daughter's piercings & they've all turned out great! I also had him do my helix. I was very nervous, but he was very patient. The piercing was quick with very little pain. This is the only piercing/tattoo spot that I've been in & it's very clean. I most definitely will recommend Tim for all of your piercing needs. read more

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! read more

Went in last Thursday night with my fiancé. We saw the ad for the "get what you get" and wanted to do it. We drive 40 mins and when we arrive the lady at the front is just like "may I help you?". We tell her we wanted to do the flash machine. There is an artist at the very back station to the right just sitting, one that just sat a client and another finish up a client. She ask the guy that's free about doing our tats and he's replies(where we couldn't hear him) and as she's walking back to the front she says "so nobody wants to make money today?!" Then tells us the wait time for the artist who JUST put a client in his chair. Bc I felt so unwelcomed we just politely declined and left. Their customer service SUCKS! The shop wasn't welcoming. Nobody greeted, no explanation as to why the free artist refused to service us. The energy was uncomfortable and it felt like a bunch of teens in adult bodies run the place. Go else where! read more

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 :) read more

I had such an amazing experience at Virtue tattoo. Cabos was my artist. He made me feel comfortable from start to finish. He was very laid back and super chill. I came in just to try the get what you get machine and the whole experience was super cool! I wish I had bought 2 tokens. I can't wait to go back there and get another tattoo from him. I've already started to think of ideas and it hasn't been 24 hrs yet. If you are looking for a great clean shop I highly recommend this shop. Enjoy your new ink!!! read more

I had a nostril piercing at Virtue Tattoo recently and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I called to see if I needed to make an appointment, and the woman who answered the phone was so professional and helpful (no, you do not need to make an appointment but it's first-come-first-served so there might be a short wait). The shop is very, very clean and the walls are covered with really nice framed flash art. The young man working the front counter was very friendly and helpful with getting me signed in and with choosing my nose jewelry (great selection!). After filling out the paperwork and a short wait, Paul came to escort me to the private room where the piercings are performed. Paul was also really friendly and helpful, and very professional, confident, and efficient with the piercing procedure (which is what you want from someone who is making a new hole in your face, haha!). Afterward, the young man who checked me in explained aftercare in detail and gave me printed instructions as well. The folks at Virtue take pride in their business and provide incredible customer service. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I got my belly button pierced by time about 6 weeks ago. Super professional, very hygienic and it has healed super well. Also did not hurt at all, I would compare the pain level to equivalent/less than the pain of getting your earlobes pierced. Would definitely recommend Tim! read more

Great experience, very accommodating and helpful. One of the most professional shops out there with great artists!

Got my nipples pierced by Tim and he was amazing. Came out perfect, he explained everything thoroughly. Made conversation and was so nice/ funny. I felt comfortable the entire time. The piercing was little to no pain and very fast! read more

My daughter and I came during Spring Break to get pierced. She had her helix and I had my tragus done. They had a nice selection of jewelry and the guy at the front counter (I didn't get his name) was very patient about answering all our questions about piercing, jewelry, and pricing. After we made our selections, they sterilized our jewelry and Tim did our piercings. It was fast and Tim talked us through it all. Customer service was great and the shop was SO CLEAN. Will definitely be back here in the future. read more

Went in originally for an Ashley piercing but they currently aren't offering oral piercings. I went in for a piercing so I was definitely still leaving with one! I ended up getting my conch and it was such a great experience! Tim really works magic! He cleaned me up, made sure the placement was to my liking, and the piercing itself was so smooth and easy! It's been 2 days and it's not even sore! the shop itself is very clean and all the staff is friendly from the front of house to the artists! I also was tattooed by Cabos a few months back, a phenomenal artist! This entire shop is a 10/10! Will only be coming here for my piercing and tattoo needs ! read more

Spontaneously got my tragus peirced today. I did a lot of research for months about where to go and what I wanted, just in case. So walking in after work today was an easy decision. Tim is the guy for anyone who is looking to get a peircing. He was super nice and extremely professional. Once I picked out what I wanted to get he took me in the room to show me how everything would be sterilized. Once everything was sterilized (which took about 5 mins) I went back into the room and the entire procedure was actually pretty quick. He marked the spot where the earring would be and the pain was actually minimal compared to what I thought it would be. I'm already considering my next piece. read more

I usually go to claires at the mall to get my ear's pierced because they're cheap. but I decided to go somewhere professional and certified for my cartilage piercing. coming in I'll be honest, I was nervous. I was approached by tim, he was helpful and broke down the prices based off the jewelry you choose. he also brought me back to show me that all the tools being used for the piercing would be sterilized before starting. he broke down the process of the piercing and made everything worth while. thank you so much tim!!

I have driven by this shop forever, and read the great reviews. I was a walk in today. I just wanted a simple tiny tattoo. I showed Nate several ideas i had, and we agreed on a price and ascetic for my tiny unicorn. I liked how he took the photo I had, and made it "his own" it's so cute and tiny! This place is very clean. Very fair priced (I have been to several Tattoo places one other in Houston and a few over the country - and this is very very fair pricing I will say! Tim is super friendly and the rest of the staff I saw seemed serious but really into their craft. So it's good to see they take their job seriously - esp when dealing with my skin. I'd go back and do recommend! read more

They got me back in about 10 minutes once I picked my jewelry. They were very transparent with prices and had some beautiful real stone jewelry (I'll have to save a bit before I go back). The piercing process was very fast, it did hurt but not unbearable. I paired got my care instructions and was done. I highly recommend and will be back for more piercings and hopefully some tattoos.

First, I want to begin with the tattoo shop itself. The shop is VERY clean to begin with and all the artists work really hard to make sure it is spotless as well as making you feel comfortable/welcomed. I got two amazing tattoo pieces done by Ericka in two days, back to back. She is an awesome artist with amazing line work. She's very courteous, professional, and super accommodating with even the slightest request (both with the art piece and with scheduling). I highly recommend Ericka to anybody that is serious about getting a tattoo. read more

Piercing was super quick and professional. Great selection of jewelry. Front desk and piercing staff were friendly.

Nate is seriously one of the most professional and amazing tattoo artists I've ever worked with. He helped me with the many questions I had for my tattoo and I felt very confident with his help on how it was going to turn out. The tattoo process itself went very smoothly. I got done a simple phrase, "And though she be but little she is fierce" right under my left collar bone. Nate was very good with his pace and with his inking pressure. I was never uncomfortable. He answered all of my questions (I'm naturally a curious person so I talk a bit) with ease and friendliness. I am very proud to say I have finally found a place where I feel comfortable coming back to (besides this one, I have two other tattoos). I'm extremely happy with Virtue Tattoo and will definitely be a returning customer! Also, come see Tim for piercings! He's very knowledgeable and friendly! read more

Virtue Tattoo - Wall of original art by the tattoo artists - Piercing Near Me - Meadows Place, Texas

This is a very nice shop. A lot of flash decorating the walls is awesome to look at. Don't take a picture of anything though. I guess they don't take too kindly to that. All I wanted was to post a picture on Instagram. In retrospect I should've asked first. The artist who help me was pretty cool. The type of guy you'd expect to work at a place like this. He wasn't super friendly but at the same time wasn't rude. Again, kinda what you would expect. I don't remember the artist name, as I'm a bit introverted and terrible at making small talk and Introductions. The actual process of getting the tattoo wasn't terrible. Only painful, but in a good way. He really knew what he was doing. Made sure the stencil was lined up evenly. They didn't offer any lotion or cleaner to me before I left. Luckily I have some from the last tattoo I got in February. They didn't review proper cleaning procedures with me. All they have me was a piece of paper with instructions on it. Check out this shop, especially if you're a local. With me being from out of town, I felt a little unwelcome. Would I go there again if I ever find myself in Houston? Maybe. I doubt I'll be going back to Houston anytime. read more

So, I have gotten my ears, navel, and nose pierced here. Tim the one who does the piercings is one the kindest people you'll meet. The quality of their jewelry is top notch, no tarnishing or wear even after years. Their tattoo artist, however, will rip you off. I had a asked for simple tattoo idea, no shading, or crazy details, and the guy charged me 250! When I literally have a much more detailed, and shaded piece that only cost me 150! It could have been that individual tattoo artist, so I can't speak on the shop as a whole, but I would definitely recommend price checking around first. read more
