Went in for a tattoo over spring break and Russell did incredible!!! Was very diligent in making sure it looked good and made sure I was more than happy with it before beginning. Highly recommend Russell if you're looking to get a tattoo here! Read Less

I had my nose pierced and when I got home the ring fell out. I went back and the woman at the counter said I had to pay all over again. The piercer disagreed but she rudely insisted. Suggested I go someplace else. I did and a piercer in another shop offered to fix it for free! Read Less

Rude rude rude. They made us feel like we were imposing on them. I used to take my kids here years ago to get henna tattoos and was looking forward to having a great experience by taking my grandkids here. We won't be back. There are other places to get henna tattoos on the island. We will try one of the other places next time. Read Less

It was my 18th birthday and I got my belly button pierced here, seemed all fine and good until about a week later. I took very good care of it, nothing seemed to help it. Redness and scabs. Went to another piercer were I live and they said the bar was cheap and made to fail from the beginning because they didn't place it right from my previous piercing. I would recommend you not go here for piercings, my friend also had her cartilage pierced here and is having problems. I paid 75$ for a belly button piercing and lost my money and got a scar. I recommend you go somewhere else if you are just visiting. Check reviews before you do too.BTW  currently getting my piercing removed from the ER. Read Less

We had a great experience while visiting this shop. It's clean, relaxed and has friendly staff. Sergio did mine and my daughters tattoos. He's super chill. With it being my daughters first tattoo, he made her experience a positive one. I've been to other shops in my hometown and have never walked out with 100% what I asked for. I LOVE my tattoo and hope to visit him again when we vacation in Padre. Read Less

Paid in advance and then had to leave town for Emergeny and they still refuse to refund my cash. I understand that I will pay the $20 deposit but get real! Why would you RIP OFF a customer for a tat they never got. GREEDY and Karma will get you. Got to another shop before you are disappointed Read Less

Great place for piercings, tattoos, and Henna tattoos. Got my first ear piercing here maybe ten years ago. Then my mother, sister, and I got Jagua tattoos this year. Really happy with the whole experience. Read Less

The staff is awesome, very accommodating! We made an appointment to come back at 10. Russell drew the exact tattoo we wanted, he was clean, he was quick, and it didn’t even hurt! Ask for Russell when you make an appointment, he was incredibly nice. Read Less

I would highly recommend if you come to peggy’s Tattoo to request Russell. He has done amazing tattoos. My tattoo came out better than ever. My dad even got one from Russell & it turned out amazing. Request Russell!! Read Less

Got my first henna tattoo at Peggy s And it was the worst $27 dollars I've ever spent. The lines were all crooked the dimensions were not even close to being equal in size. I feel stupid for paying that much for an ugly design to be placed on my body. I asked for it to be redone after the first design came out crooked and then Flor the henna designer told me "well it's Kuz you had your hand crooked". I'm sorry but it is the tattoo artist duty to educate the customer as to how to place the body part in order to get the best result. Instead of just caring for the money and doing it however. If I could give this place a zero rating I would and place the picture of the god awful job that was done. Cruddy af. Read Less

I've gotten tattoos at Peggy's over the years, and it has always been great. Having these good past experiences I returned,on Friday 01 June, hoping to get nipple piercings done. The lady that was doing the piercings flat out turned me down, and gave me a laundry list of excuses as to why she wouldn't do it. I didn't catch her name, as she did not introduce herself. Honestly, she looked like she just didn't want to work. I went somewhere else and was in and out in less than 20 minutes with multiple piercings. My suggestion to Peggy's is get people who want to work and don't send your business elsewhere. Especially locals. Read Less

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I went to this place to get my nose pierced and it turned out awful. I had my nose pierced about 6 years ago and immediately knew something was wrong this time.The piercing hurt much more then I remember. The nose stud sunk into the piercing hole and the piercing was swollen and painful. When I got back home, I went to a piercing shop and they told me the piercing was done wrong. (Piercing was done too high, at the wrong angle, and the jewelry was cheaply made. I paid $70 for the piercing.) STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Find a professional who knows what they are doing. Read Less

Super excited with my tattoo was nervous at first being from out of town but I would drive all the way back from Georgia just to get a tattoo from Sergio he's the man, and is a true artist. You're the man Sergio! Read Less

Props to Sergio the tattoo artist out there. Has plenty of experience and keeps you entertained while getting your work done. He made me love my tattoo even more and giving it more meaning by doing a great job with it. Read Less

I got my nose pierced here and I'm so glad I did! It was clean and the staff were so nice. I have a question though, I forgot to ask what the size gauge of my stud was??? Do y'all use the same size for each person or what? If so please let me know Read Less

Raul is excellent. He has years of experience. If you've seen an article on FB lately warning about the toxic results on your liver from heavy metals in tattoo ink, you can rest easy. Raul uses organic, vegetable-based inks. He is professional and he knows what he is doing. Read Less

We came in for henna for our girls and a tattoo for my husband. The girls were all very helpful and friendly helped our 11 yr olds so much I got one. And Austin did an awesome job on my husbands tattoo!! Read Less

If I could give negative stars I would...this place is awful! They don't know how to do nose piercing! Not only was the placement of the piercing wrong, the person was very unprofessional claiming cartilage was in the way and that the young ladies body was rejecting the piercing. Truth is she was very incompetent and had no clue what she was doing! Stay away from this place!!!! Read Less

In my opinion, raul was very rude and highly unproffesional. He was walking around the shop barefoot and the bottom of his feet were black. His attitude was very insulting and his ego reminded me of Donald trump's. He acts and speaks very highly of himself but his work is mediocre at best. He claims to have been tattooing for 20 years, but if he's so talented why doesn't he have his own shop yet? I will not be returning to, or recommending this shop, just because of raul. In my opinion the shop is actually quite nice and clean and the rest of the staff was very nice as well. Read Less

We come here every time we come down from Ohio. All 3 of my kids and I got henna tattoos and loved them! The owner is THE best! She is the sweetest and very helpful and always makes sure we are happy. They have cute fun things too! My daughter got some cute sunglasses one time among other things. LOVE this place and the owner!! � Read Less

Amazing experience! Flor pierced my cartilage and it was quick and painless:) I would recommend coming here over any other tattoo shop! They make sure you leave with information on how to keep your piercing clean and I'm so happy with it!! Love this place! Everyone is friendly and they offer beautiful henna tattoos :) Read Less

SMH! First bad reviews i've read just make me not even go outside this spot! Lmao I hope you guys improved over time and worked on your rudeness. Was thinking about getting a tattoo done here since im from Brownsville, but nahhhhhhhhhhhhh ill head to ATX instead. Thanks owner for the great reviews I've read ;) Read Less

So I walked in and was really excited to get a henna tattoo because I've never gotten one. There was so many to choose from and surprisingly pricey depending on what you chose. I ended up choosing a small humming bird since I didn't want to spend so much and they charged me before even getting the henna done. But I trusted it would come out nice and the lady drew it on quickly that my humming bird ended up looking like a freaken spork. I have the proof on my arm. I walked out of there really disappointed, especially that I paid almost $30 for this. It looks like a kid drew it. I'm sure the lady has talent and I'm not just shitting on it, but damn I'm ashamed that I'm going to have this on my arm for the next 4 weeks... other than that, they do have great customer service. I'm just bummed that I got a bad experience out of it. Read Less

Went in with just a picture as an idea for a feather on my arm and he drew something similar on my arm and was surprisingly quick! still turned out beautiful. Wish it was just a little bigger but I'm still very happy with it. Can't remember his name for the life of me. So if you see this comment so I can edit with your name!!!!! Read Less

I decided to get a tattoo for my (60-something)birthday. I had never had one before and I was terrified but determined to go through with it (and on my ankle no less, one of the more tender spots for tattooing). I am SO happy that I had it done here! My artist completed his work quickly and there was less discomfort than I had anticipated. The end result was Beautiful artistry, reasonably priced, professionaly executed!� Read Less

This place is the oldest existing tattoo shop on South Padre. Absolutely the only place to go for tattoos on South Padre Island. Super clean like a doctor's office. Friendly and super helpful staff. My entire family goes here every year and we are never disappointed! Read Less

This place is well know for the shop and has a lot of history on the island, not a fly by night ownership. Sandy is the sweetest and most helpful/professional lady! She goes above and beyond to meet your needs, I can't ask for more when I comes to customer service! The place is super clean and employees are very well organized with great attitudes. They have more to offer than tattoos and piercings. They do henna, e-cig accessories, and steal jewelry.  Now when it came to Tattooing Mr. Ron is the top dude! His color and lines are 100%. He enjoys doing this and making it an awesome experience for you, also he talks with you the whole time so you don't feel any awkwardness. He gave step by step instructions what to do when it came to treating my new masterpiece. I'm glad to know he is working for a great place and that the island has him to offer. I can't wait for my next session with Peggy's Tattoo!! Read Less

On first walking into Peggy's I was a little put-off, the lady who greeted my four-person group was not very helpful, despite the words that she spoke. Going to get a tattoo can be really nerve wracking and having someone consistently asking if they can help you doesn't really help anything, I personally need the time to acclimate to the shop... But we decided to get our tattoos there based on portfolios. We left our ideas with Ingram and said we'd come back the next day...Next day comes and he had not sketched anything out, which bothered me, but maybe he got busy, who knows, it was Spring Break. Ingram started with my friend's tattoo, it was pretty simple and started it right away. Their set-up took forever, but you get to see them sterilize everything and if you want they can set up in front of you. CLEAN. There's a big open window so shop patrons and your friends can laugh at you while you're under the needle which was a lot of fun. Ingram pushed me off on a different artist, and I just went with it, too excited to be picky. Tony was really friendly, listened well and wanted to do a good job on it. Spent some time with my design before we agreed on size, placement and so on. Drew out my stencil and then wanted me to sit with him while he set up so we could get to know each other. I thought that was really awesome of him, Ingram kinda ignored my two friends that he tattooed and seemed pretty quiet. Tony and I chatted for the majority of my session and it was just really relaxing and comfortable!  While Matt wasn't there long, he did a quick tattoo on my other friend and he seemed really nice too.So despite the reception/henna girls and Ingram's seemingly un-caring attitude towards his patrons, I give Tony a thumbs up for being a people person. All of our tattoo's turned out beautifully, and I couldn't be happier. The experience definitely made Spring Break memorable. Read Less
