I had a great experience at Weathered Helm getting a cover up on my forearm. Hector Garza took his time working with me to come up with something that I loved that would also work great as a cover up. He was able to schedule me in to get it done a few days later and it turned out amazing. I'm very happy with the tattoo and the entire process. read more

Top notch people bringing top notch service to our Community in Seabrook. They've completely done right by me with an issue from the past that didn't even involve Lisa and Tony. Seabrook is a unique community that only an establishment like the Weathered Helm could thrive in. These guys and gals are artist that do this for a living. Professional and family oriented. Extremely courteous, I will be getting work done soon and recommend this place to anyone that wants meaningful art work done. read more

These guys are so creative! They went far beyond my expectations with their realism and perfectionism. I wouldn't let anyone else touch me after going here. They are great at covering up something you now hate! The shop is so clean! Hell, at least go in to see the awesome fish tank! You won't want to leave without a piece of art! read more

I had waited over 5years before finally finding an artist I felt was perfect to complete my sleeve. I knew immediately upon sitting down with Tony that he was the perfect fit. Between the cleanliness of the shop and the laid back atmosphere it was perfect. Tony takes so much pride in his work and people from all over the world have been in awe of what he's completed thus far. Definitely recommend all the crew at weathered helm but in my opinion Tony would have to be considered among the best tattoo artists in the world. read more

Weathered Helm Art Studio - Astronaut done by Cali - Tattoo Near Me - La Porte, Texas

I've been tattooed all over the U.S. from Texas to Chicago. From local lesser known artists to names from LA INK like Amy Nicoletto. With all that said Tony( the shop owner) is a name that should be recognized all over. I emphasize again that he is an Artist not at Tattooist . He creates; he does not copy. If you want respectable work you will not find a better artist in Houston. He is hands down the best artist I've come across in houston which is why I was honored he let me film my session with for my youtube channel . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E49LA19m-J8 You come to him with an idea and he expand it to something you will be proud to wear. When you get tattooed by Tony you are getting an exhibit/painting. He charges 150 per hr; a reasonable price for the astonishing work you will get. If you are looking for a high quality work that can be shown on par withthe pieces you seen on shows /exhibits/ websites you go to an artist like Tony. He's upfront, no nonsense, classy guy. No shady business dealings, no BS. His shop is clean and ran professionally. Ive had 2 sessions with him and can't wait for my third. Keep up the good work. read more

First off, Whethered Helm is a totally different tattoo shop than what you are used to. It's a gorgeous classy place, uniquely decorated. No pick it and stick it crap on the walls.

Weathered Helm Art Studio - Cali B. did my watercolor iris. It is gorgeous! - Tattoo Near Me - La Porte, Texas

The entire staff in the studio is amazing!!! The owner, Tony got a bad rap from a typical idiot who doesn't understand how a business makes money. Tony is great and I love the fact that he runs a shop where there isn't flash everywhere. Those aren't creations of you and your artist!!! I highly recommend you ask for Christian. Yep, he's young, but man, I couldn't be happier to say he did my sleeve and more. Maybe I got lucky in my find. Whatever it was, I was happy to spend lots of time there getting my most beautiful creations yet!!! There's a tattoo parlor with flash on every corner in Houston. Go somewhere that will make you so happy with what can be your first or just a part of your ongoing addiction!!! read more

Walking in, it feels more of an art studio than a tattoo shop. Tony is a world class artist, and his attention to artistic detail translates into his attention for cleanliness. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Tony. He listened to exactly what I wanted, evident through what he drew for me, and made the entire experience as comfortable as possible. Not to mention, the finished product is immaculate, just perfect. World class shop. read more

Yogi did my son's 2nd tattoo and what a fantastic job he did! He took the idea my son had and turned it into a unique piece of art. I highly recommend Yogi and the studio was beautiful too. Clean, artsy, professional, friendly. read more

From the first vist taking time to get to know me personally gave him the insite of what I had envisioned and truly made it reality.. Tattoos are for life and a peek of your vision and imagination.. Tony has made my thoughts come to life... You can not go wrong with anyone in the shop... The Weathered Helm is the best in Houston and surrounding area.. Call ahead.. Set your appointment.. You can't go wrong.. read more

This place is all about tattoo perfection. I never knew how advance this industry can be. Looks like a 3D printer tattooed my arm and I'm very impressed with Tony. Up scale nice place with great service, even served me drinks and food. Made me feel very welcome. Unlike other rough places in the industry this place was like art museum. Rare . You get what you pay for here. read more

This is by far the best place I've been for a tattoo. There is nothing these guys can't do. Challenges are accepted since I can speak from experience. Cali did an outstanding job on 2 tattoos that were previously done but not to my standards. They now look amazing. Thank you so much! I will be back next month! read more

This is the nicest tattoo parlor I have ever seen. The staff are all welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Not to mention very talented. The space is clean and stylish.

I saw a few good reviews about this place and I was told it was a decent place. I walked in, talked to Tony, told him my idea and paid $150 right there to schedule an appointment for three months down the road. Tony was very cool that day and I thought the place looked really cool. I felt good about getting a tattoo there. I got called in to work the night before my appointment, and everything at Weathered Helm went to hell. I called the number on the business card Tony had given me the night before my appointment to let them know I was at work all night and the ne next night and I needed to reschedule. It went to voice mail and I left a message. I called the next day to reschedule. No answer and another voice mail. I sent an email to the email address on the business card. Then I was told if I wanted to communicate with anyone in the shop I should go through facebook. I don't do facebook. Finally after a month or so of calling, the other artist there, Cali, told me he didn't know why Tony wasn't talking to me but he would do the tattoo. I was already at the point where the shop wasn't a place I wanted to go to anymore, but Cali convinced me. And then the same shit started happening again. I didn't keep calling. I got a $150 mistake at a tattoo shop without ever getting a tattoo. That's right, Tony pocketed my money. I've been to a lot of shops, all over. One of my tattoos I got on Guam. I've been in plenty of tattoo shops, and I've never seen anything like this. I should have taken the advice of people telling me to stay away from the place. read more

Held with the upmost respect and integrity. Undstandably people will default on their deposits and write bad reviews but we are known in the industry to always do business fairly and honorably. Example Kevin W, who's "extracurricular hobbies" may have distorted his senses in the understanding he was the only client on the planet, and every artist in the studio revolves solely on his time and frame of mind. We can take a loss of a few hundred dollars a day because he couldn't make his appts. We pay bills like everyone else. We don't work, we don't feed our families. Thanks to all our loyal and respectable clients. The garbage weeds itself out. read more
