Adam was nothing but nice to me. He was more worried about my tattoo then me. The little things he was worried showed me how much he cared about his work of art. Definitely will be going back if needed Read Less

Got piercings done by Meg today. It was the 1st time going there because they had amazing reviews. The shop was super clean and it even smelled clean when you entered the shop. Everyone was extremely nice. Meg was amazing. She explained everything before she started and after she was done. She made me feel really comfortable. I will definitely go back for future piercings or my next tattoo! :) Read Less

Went here while I was vacationing in Corpus and had an idea for what I wanted. Matthew drew it up, negotiated a price and got after it. Tattoo was the best I have on my body. Lines are sharp and the design was exactly what I wanted. Shop was clean and the staff was friendly and courteous. 3 of my friends also got tattoos that night. They worked our entire crew Into a busy Saturday night. Excellent place to go for a tattoo or a piercing!! Read Less

Took my daughter to get her industrial pierced this weekend. Riley did an amazing job as usual. This is her second piercing done by him and I'm sure it won't be the last. Everyone at axis was super friendly and the place was very clean. Great job Riley! Read Less

Rude as hell. The boyfriend and I wanted a small piece on our wrists and instead we got an uppity attitude and everyone is "busy" right now, yet plenty of artists were standing around. It was 2:00 in the afternoon. A tattoo is a tattoo. Money is money. That's why there is a shop minimum. Guess I won't be going here for my 11th tattoo on my back, which happens to be a massive piece from shoulders to tailbone. Ended up going right around the corner to JD at Skullaztyx Art & Tattoo. Awesome place. Read Less

The place looked fine and everything, we didn't have anything done here but they referred us to their Electra (sister store),I didn't like the way we were looked at when we came in, granted we came in with two young kids, as I was trying to get my daughters ears pierced. Now to go review Electra which was awesome, felt right at home there. Read Less

I like the way Bruce comes around to check how clients are doing while tattoo artist is working on them. He then gives the artist tips and suggestions on work being performed on the client. Bruce also compliments his artists on job well done. Read Less

Highly recommend Rylie. He is so knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. He pierced my inner ear to help with headaches and yes it hurt but only for a few seconds. He is very clean and organized. Read Less

I got a tattoo of a small sun on my wrist for my 18th birthday by Roy and it was a great experience! I was really nervous going into it, but he made the experience enjoyable and he was great to talk to also! He was patient with even the smallest requests that I had. Reasonable pricing and he made sure everything was perfect! If I ever get another tattoo, I'll come back here! Read Less

Roy is awesome.... Just had my third piece done by him and I am in love.... Roy and I have a couple more planned out to do! He rocks.... Great conversation, patient and cares about his work... Pretty much a perfectionist.... Thank you... Read Less

Great customer experience! Loved that everything was well explained before doing, pleased with the sanitary measures taken for each client as well. Love my new dermal and tattoo, everyone made it memorable experience. ❤️ Read Less

Roy was amazing. My husband and I went in to get puzzle pieces for our son with autism and he was professional about everything. The lines are beautiful, the shading very well done. But the most impressive is the letter from my father that came out just perfect, in exactly my father's handwriting. Not to mention the conversation, the atmosphere and just the all in all laid back feel of his station was impressive. He is a very, very sweet guy and very, very talented and whenever I go back, Roy will ALWAYS have my business! Read Less

Got my first tattoo today at Axis Tattoo. The place is super clean, and the staff were nice and helpful. My tattoo artist, Lupe, is the best. Hands down. He gave me a lot of tips on how to take care of my tattoo. My first experience getting inked was not bad at all. If it's Axis tattoo, I can go back again. Read Less

The piercer was unprofessional and offered poor advice for cleaning them. He was not thorough and barely went through anything with me. What he did went through was after the piercing, which means the person may have a hard time remembering info thanks to the adrenaline. I read elsewhere that piercers typically give you an info sheet on aftercare. Did not happen. It was my first piercing, which he knew, and I was disappointed. Also, other sources do not recommend dial soap for cleaning, which he did. Would not recommend for piercings. I personally haven't received a tattoo from Axis, but the people I know who have, have crooked line work. Read Less

I went to Axis on a whim to get 2 piercings ;) It was around 10 o'clock on a Saturday night. At first, I didn't want to go through with it because the thought of a male piercing me made me kind of uneasy.  But the gentlemen that did my piercings was VERY professional, thorough and kind!  He explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions.  He was honest about healing times and the pain threshold, which I appreciated.  I was by myself and he even asked if I'd like for his babysitter (who was a female and his apprentice) to come in and hold my hand.  I was so worried about the pain, but it was quick and virtually painless!  I literally didn't feel a thing.  I did get a little light headed afterwards, and he bought me a soda and had me lay down until I started feeling better.  All in all, a great experience.  The shop was very clean, everything he used was brand new and he made sure to sanitize everything.  I'll definitely go back for more piercings.  I just wish I could remember his name!

Friendly and personable staff! Been in for piercings and tattoos. Great selection of rad tattoo flash! Still waiting to get a sleeve done. Big or small had very great service and tattoos from the crew at Axis! Big thanks to Don Shapiro for my latest tattoo on my shin! Read Less

I've been getting tattooed at Axis for about 4 years now. I moved up to Boston a while back so can't get my fix in as much as I like. Even living in Boston I chose to get my work done in Corpus by Don. It's always great to get worked on there cause its pretty damn chill there. Oh and I guess the tattoos come out good too. Can't wait till I'm back in Corpus to get something else done. Gonna be hard to beat the pickle and taco Don tattooed on my leg last time. Read Less

Keep in mind that this rating pertains solely to a recent visit that I had, NOT the past three times I've been here. I would give those experiences 4 stars or more. I wasn't even going to WRITE a review, but a little phone call from Megan changed that sentiment real fast. Please, keep reading.It started when I visited the shop last night. I planned on getting a cartilage piercing, so I walked in and expected to be greeted in a friendly way, which I was by one of the male tattooers. The girl behind the desk asked if I "needed something", which I found weird. We arranged the piercing, I gave my Driver's License for a copy, normal stuff. Then I went in the back room. I did not have an issue until I realized the piercer had on fake nails. I don't have a vendetta against fake nails, I wear them on occasion which is WHY I wouldn't want someone that's piercing me to be wearing them!! I spoke with someone from APP (Association of Professional Piercers) that seconded the fact that no one piercing should have on fake nails. Because of this she couldn't get the ball on, which caused me more pain. She even felt the need to ask, "Did it hurt THAT bad?" as if I was being dramatic in the chair. All I did was exhale loudly, like I was instructed to. That's the first time in my tattoo and piercing history someone has been inclined to make a remark on my pain threshold. After this chain of events it took her longer to put the ball on and later I noticed that somehow, a chunk of my hair got pierced through the hole. When I got home I had to cut off a very long section of hair that was literally stuck through my cartilage. Some of the hair is still there, and I will have to go to another shop to hopefully get it removed. Why? Might you ask? I'll explain below.Now, as I stated earlier, I was NOT going to resort to Yelp for my experience until I received an incredibly unprofessional phone call from the studio, and none other than my piercer was on the other line.She every so kindly explained to me that in her SEVEN YEARS of experience, no one has ever had a problem with her work. Good for you! I'm proud to be the first then. And in an un-polite manner offered me my money back, which I was not going to even ask for back. It wasn't really an offering, it was more of a well come back and get it then since you had such a problem. I have a new piercing, I don't need a refund, I just didn't appreciate the experience and the chunk of hair that's irritating my cartilage from the inside. And I don't appreciate being called in this way while I'm at work, and can't vocally defend myself.She then went on to offer me free piercings from another piercer, as if that would make the issue better. (And keep me from writing a review.) I found this offensive, money is not an issue for me and I never stated that when I told her I wanted more piercings. I only got one that day because a friend recommended to space them out. I'm getting my other two within the month if my first one does okay. I found out later on in the phone call that none other than her parents own the studio. This would explain SO MUCH. It would explain why my message wasn't directly replied to online, and why my criticism was not taken lightly. Most professional people can find a way to apologize without coming across in an attitudinal manner, I wasn't even allowed to get a word in edge wise over the phone. I imagine that during this phone call there was (or may have been. I wasn't there) jeering and giggling in the background while the girl thought she sounded sooo cool berating me. That's mature. Keep it up, it'll get you far.But I don't feel the need to bicker and level over the phone with someone who obviously can't take honest opinions. So since she didn't want to let me talk, I'm talking on this review. That conversation only would have elevated and would have gone nowhere (if I were even allowed to talk, that is). People are going to be displeased once in a while. I work in customer service and the customer is always right even if you do NOT agree. Because then this happens, you lose loyal customers, and they pass on their dissatisfaction via word of mouth. Never have I felt the need to express myself in the way she did to someone, but everyone matures differently I guess. Or doesn't. So, I didn't want to have to write this, but after that phone call I just had to. I am very sad that I can't return to this place that I have trusted for three years. Don did a fantastic job on my tattoo and I don't even feel comfortable coming in to get it retouched if necessary.All in all, what I want you to take from this is that I had a BAD day with the shop. The tattooers are so friendly, the place is run well (with the exception of people doing rude phone calls!), it's CLEAN, bright, and they have good practices. You get what you pay for and when it comes to tats and my experiences with the other staff, I may still pass on a good word. Read Less

If you come in here with an idea these guys will give you exactly what you want and more. Some of the best artists Ive ever seen. I would reccomend any of these artist, but myself I go to Davis. He draws great custom stuff. Read Less
