Amazing place. Guys in here are professional, they charge $150 an hour, however they work really fast and really good. My tattoo was about 4 hour, it was done in 2 and a half. Incredible results. They really take time preparing, cleaning, and taking care for the tattoo. And they work late nights as well. The best tattoo place. I highly recommend. Almost everybody there have at least 10 years of experience. They also have waiting area with free pool, sofas, TV's, games whatever you want. Definitely would go there for my next tattoo.

Very clean and professional shop. I've had two tattoos by Ness and 1 by Gumby. Both are very talented and did my work just as I wanted. This shop is very open to any of your ideas of work and super friendly! Nick is the best at piercing! Keeps it sterile, quick and explains everything step by step. Carlos and Gill also have amazing work! If you're looking for good quality with fair pricing visit Calaveras!

This weekend I received a tattoo by Gill. Awesome guy. very knowledgeable, personable and his attention to detail is absolutely impeccable. I showed him a picture of a tattoo style that I liked and he completely recreated it to make a custom piece. His price was fair and reasonable for the amount of detail and time my tattoo took. He was very patient and took time to explain everything he did. I am extremely satisfied with my ankle/foot piece and would recommend him to anybody!

Jason is seriously the best. He has done my half sleeve and my husbands. We were very fortunate to find him. Everywhere I go, everyone always compliments and asks where I got it done.

Gill does amazing work, best artist I've seen yet came by for a cover up told him what I wanted and got exactly that and more. Came back by a year later because there was a few dull spots (like he said there would be) showed him the tat he booked me in his next available appointment and fixed it free of charge! Great shop, everyone is friendly and welcomes you in with open arms. If you live in the Killeen area and your going to a different shop your dead ass wrong ! Keep up the good work guys
