Very clean & beautiful shop ( 1st time ever in a tattoo shop) got my lobes done with bridge & I am so happy with the result . I’ve gotten them 3 times before all got infected so bad I had to remove the earring with in a few hours with how bad the swelling was . Bridge took the time to make sure they were even & that I was happy with their placement prior , she didn’t rush & made me feel so comfortable & relaxed . Almost a whole day later & there isn’t any swelling & they don’t feel sore what’s so ever ! Definitely will be returning to get more done 😍❤️

Got my first tattoo the other day with Danny, super chill dude, walked me through aftercare and was extremely patient with how picky I was with how I wanted my tattoo to look. Definitely will be going back for touch up and will be getting others done by him and others whose work I liked. My tattoo was an all black Trident that was centered on my spine. Not sure how much it was supposed to hurt, but definitely one of the lesser pains I’ve felt (broken bones, athletic injuries, etc)

Worked with Angel. The way he could take my 4th grade level adjectives regarding what I want, and turn them into the exact image in my head speaks volumes to his work ethic and skill as an artist. I will never look anywhere else going forward. The clean and modern ambiance, is only emphasized by the friendly staff with extremely fair pricing. Thank you guys!

Extremely professional environment, I got my nose done and every detail of the process was explained to me... had a horrible experience at white buffalo a few years back so it’s refreshing to see such care go into my time at the shop. I’ve been considering a new tattoo, when I’m ready for it I hope one of the artists here can take care of me.

I've had the pleasure of getting tattooed by two talented artist at this shop and I can do nothing but rave about the work they've done on me. I've gotten tattooed at other shops throughout McAllen but this shop is by far the most professional. The staff is friendly and inviting. They answered all my questions and ensured I was pleased with the design (fixing anything I mentioned). This shop has become my go-to place. If you're considering giving them a visit I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

Made the trip over here from brownsville and it was more than worth it! I've had great work done by Eric and just got pierced by Bridge. She was super laid back and friendly while also being really informative and professional. She goes out of her way to make your experience comfortable and she shows you and explains every step she does in the piercing process. This is my go-to studio!
