I got a tattoo from here a few months ago and my artist, Hannah was an absolute gem! Not only did she do great work and was dope as hell, she made the experience as smooth as possible and exceeded my expectations. Would definitely recommend her as an artist and will definitely be going back to her for some more ink in the future!
So I’ve had tattoos done here before so I’m not complaining on this portion, dude did great. On the other hand, I got septum piercing done a few days ago. The ring is way to big to flip and my lip hits it when I go to eat. I understand if it’s the only size they had but this is painful. Right after he put the ball on, he didn’t clean the blood running down my face. He said “your done” and went to go talk a coworker. No after care. None. Now, a few days later, something is not right. I’ve been through a number of piercings, including my nose, and I have never been in so much pain.
This place is amazing to go to if you’re looking to get a piercing, just got my smiley done here. Everyone’s friendly and very helpful
Great work, but way overpriced. Paid the rate because I was up against a timeline and didn’t have the time to go shopping around for a better price. But like I said, it was good work so I guess this falls in the “you get what you pay for” category
Hannah Veld did a rib piece on me, and did and absolute amazing job. She took her time. Made sure I was comfortable, and talked to me throughout the entire thing. She adjusted the tattoo to my liking, and didn’t even question me at all about it. Very loyal artist, and someone I will definitely be going to again when I get more work done. Thank you Hannah and I can’t wait to get more tattoos by you!
Absolutely LOVE this shop. I had Hannah as my artist and she was SO professional. Made me feel very comfortable and gave me a tattoo I love so much! Definitely going to start call her for my future pieces!
My daughter got a tattoo here. Ill say I dont like tattoos but they did a tremendous job and its a meaningful tattoo in remeberance of her late brother. Thank you for doing such a great job. The positive reviews are completely reflective of the experience with them. Highly recommend
If you want thr old school retro style tattoo parlor, this is the place to go. Good atmosphere, great piercers and tattoo artists. They take care of you.
I came in to see Hannah (@hannahveld on Instagram) and I cant say enough good things! She was absolutely lovely and understanding....my nerves disappeared after arriving. She did everything she could to understand exactly what I wanted! I got two symmetrical hand tattoos in white ink and Im in love with them. The design is super cute and she made sure I was comfortable with it before beginning to tattoo. Not only do I have two great pieces but I have an amazing memory to walk away with! Ill be back soon just for Hannah!!
Went to get a tattoo and was told 600. Ended up going to another shop near my home and got tattoo for 180. Will never go back or recommend this shop to anyone.Since I couldnt respond I decided to edit. It wasnt that I couldnt afford it but not going to pay over inflated prices for simple piece
Stilo did both mine and my friends nose ring. He was so calming, patient, and made sure that we were comfortable and okay. He was super fast and careful at the same time, all the staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
Me and my best friend did a walk in. Everyone was super nice and had great personalities. Wish did our tattoos and she was nothing short of amazing! She even helped come up with a design!!!
I have gotten quite a few tattoos from Hannah, and I have not once been disappointed. Her art is beautiful, her application is stunning, and her overall “service” was amazing. Not once disappointed and will visit her again. -sf
Beautiful atmosphere, I had an amazing experience with my piercings. I went before and Vegas did my tattoos. Always pleased 😀☺️
Hannah is an awesome, professional, kind, and clean tattooer! She has tons of beautiful work and a impressive sheet of completed ink that will knock your socks off! Can’t wait to see where this shop takes her!
I had such a great time with Pete. He was funny, professional and very talented. He made my friend and I feel comfortable and confident from the moment we walked in. Highly recommend!
Came for a walk-in and was not disappointed! The entire staff was friendly, and Hannah did a wonderful job. Clean and helpful environment.
Absolutely LOVE going in here to work with Hannah!😍 She is one of the best in the industry, she is extremely clean, respectful, and considerate... But most importantly, she is always willing to work with you and your ideas☺️ I will continue to return just because of her! So if you need a new tattoo, make sure you ask for Hannah!😊
I came in for a walk in tattoo and all of the staff was incredibly welcoming! I had Jacob and he made sure to give me exactly what I wanted! Incredibly kind and caring (knowing I was a little nervous). I would highly recommend!!!
Amazing service!!! Everyone was super friendly! I got helped as soon as I walked inHannah took care of me and did an amazing job! Forever getting my tattoos with her!!!
Hannah was great! Amazing tattoo artist and overall good vibes from everyone! :))
I literally loved how fast and clean it was, i got my nose pierced and sergio did it fast and i didn’t feel a thing. he gave me little time to panic or think and made sure i was comfortable as i’m super anxious around needles, everyone was super nice and funny the environment was super friendly .I will definitely be coming back here.
Wish was amazing! Got my first tattoo from her at pumping ink and boy oh boy was i in love. Going back soon for a second one :)
Hannah is wonderful! I saw her as an apprentice when she started and now she’s my primary artist any time I need tattoos in El Paso! 10/10 would recommend her!
Sal is a very talented artist. I came in for a consult and they got me in same day, people were friendly and the shop is clean. I can say this is by far the best tattoo on my body. Worth the 80 minute drive and a much appreciated piece on my forearm. I plan on going to sal for my next piece already.
I’ve known hannah a long time and she’s always had a passion from drawing as well as tattooing, she gave me all of my tattoos and i am still absolutely in love with them. She’s an amazing artist and i highly recommend
Great experience, no pain at all from getting my first tattoo, highly recommend 👌!
My fiancé and I did a walk in and we got the pleasure to get our tattoos done by Hannah!!! she’s super cool and made the whole experience really enjoyable 🤗
I got tattoos from pumping ink tattoo twice by hannah one for a really cute letterings on my back and one red pretty butterfly on my belly and I LOVE her work she did it exactly how they want them to be🥺 the environment was super turned up and comfortable she was super nice and also good at her job I would definitely go back to her!
Went to get a tattoo from one of the artist names Wish, she was really sweet and made my experience amazing ! She talked to me the whole time and my tattoo came out so lovely 😍❤️ Definitely coming back when I get the chance
Very nice indeed. So I got my nose pierced just today, and it was a very fast and pleasant experience. We go in and pay at the counter and waited for barely five minutes. The man who did the job was fast and efficient, genuinely gave me no time to panic. Which personally I thought was really funny.All in all its a really cool place and good atmosphere.
After I went to get my nose piercing it wouldn’t stop bleeding for two weeks.Then later on I found out that the piercer hit a over growth blood vessel and now have to get it taken off.
I came to El Paso for a month and wanted to get a El Paso inspired Tattoo, since I was born and raised here.I found Wish through insta (@bluegreen9474) and man between her portfolio and personality she was definitely a great fit for me. I ended up getting 2 tattoos in the month, so far, with another one with her this coming Monday. I am happy I have a tattoo artist here in El Paso now👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥In regards to the tattoo shop, it is a really cool place and very clean. The people working there are all friendly and even offered me cake when it was one of their birthdays.Overall this place is definitely 5⭐️
Such a great place-- have and will go back! My artist was Wish (IG: bluegreen9474) and would absolutely recommend.Wish promptly responded to my dm inquiry on Instagram and we set up a time later in the week to do my line-work tattoo on my forearm. This tattoo has a lot of meaning for me and I was excited to finally get it and very confident that she would do a great job. She nailed it, and was very personable during the appointment.I went in again with a friend who got something similar but with shading (Wish added white highlights which look a m a z i n g), and am going back with another friend later this week.
First time getting a tattoo and Ricky did an amazing job! He tried his best to be gentle and was very professional both mine and my boyfriend’s tattoos came out great!
Excellent experience, didnt just go to a place and get a tattoo, had a memorable time. Hospitable staff, made sure we had refreshing beverages throughout our time there, and were consistently quite polite. Special thanks to Vegas and John (best of luck with your comics and tattoo career) for being attentive and professional. New favorite tattoo parlor, for sure. Also, check out the store of curiosities two doors down.
Got both sides of my nose done, very fast and perfectly placed will most definitely be going back.
I personally love going to this tattoo shop. Everyones pretty friendly. I have gotten great tattoos. Shout out to sal who does mine. Hes great.
Quality work done here. Just a little pricy and no vending machines.
Came here to get a septum and it got pierced crooked. Although the issue was fixed, the time my friend and I spent waiting for the septum took long because the piercer was talking with his friends and walking around the shop for 20 minutes. While he was piercing my septum, he was yelling and talking to his friends across the room while the needle was through my nose. Didn’t get any tips on how to take care of it either afterwards, and my nose wasn’t disinfected before the procedure. Really unprofessional, do not recommend at all.
Loved the work done on me by Ricky..thank u so much...😊❤
Great place! I was new to el paso and was nervous about a new artist but gibbie hooked me up!
Went in to get a traditional cross, the artist told me to wait an hour which was fine. Then the artist left because he had an important call and had to leave. He then tells me that he was going to set me up with another artist without informing me that he is an apprentice. Wish they would have consulted with me first, I felt majorly disrespected and as if my time and money were not valued here.
I understand there is an overhead but went to get a name and a crown and the price I was quoted was more than double at another place. Than as I was leaving the tattoo artist was rude and said he wasted his time for nothing...when all he did was print an image from a computer...Not professional in my opinion.
I havent had anything done but my daughters got piercings and they are very clean, professional and friendly. I am planning on going here to get more ink.they do have amazing artists! I highly recommend
By far the the best place to get some ink at in El Paso. The owner Jake is extremely nice and welcoming. Making new comers feel welcomed and at home. I am so impressed and pleased with my piece. Star did an amazing job. Spent time and put a lot of effort into my tattoo. Highly recommend, and I will be spending a lot of time there in the future! 11/10 exceeded my expectations.
Great artwork, but need more parking space like they need more sitting room!!!!!!
Professional, friendly and the art is excellent, now I have all three grandchildren!
Is tge best
Dash did a great job on my tattoo, super attentive to detail and could tell he genuinely wanted to make sure the piece came out great.
First time going here and Star did a phenomenal job with my piece. I will sing her praise for a long time because the tattoo was everything I wanted. Very reasonable price, comfortable, and true professional.
The tattoo is great but unfortunately many employees, including the tattoo artist that was working on me, were not wearing a mask. I went in last week and I have been feeling sick since last night. I havent seen anyone else so Im pretty sure I got sick there. A shame cause Im all for ppl working during covid but this happened and I felt embarrassed to tell them to put a mask on. Wish I had done it cause now Im sick and potentially can get my spouse sick as well.
There are so many good things to say about this shop, clean, professional, kind. I got my cheeks done there and Gibby is an absolute gem. He is so kind and understanding. Will definitely be getting more piercings done by him ♡
Great people even better tattoos
Great customer service. We had our little girl got her first set of earrings. The gentleman conducting the piercing was very professional and very clean. Provided great instruction
I’m not sure how septum piercings are usually done but I would assume you would clean the area before piercing like any other piercing I’ve had done, this was not the case. Besides not cleaning the area before, I was not told what size he pierced my septum with or how to care for it other then sea salt and water, I also was not offered to see the piercing before I left which at the time I thought was odd but I trusted him. When I got home I noticed it was crooked and very low on one side. I removed it and will be going elsewhere to get it repierced. Only reason I have two stars is because when I walked in I wasn’t clear on what part of my nose I wanted pierced and he charged me for the side of my nose instead of septum which is more and didn’t charge me the full price thank goodness, and they were also very friendly.
If anybody wants a great tattoo ask for Pete ! He’s a great artist.
First off thank you Gibby for my cover up. I went in and they immediately wanted to help me out with my cause. Got a bad tat years ago that I’ve allowed to take up real estate on my calf. Decided to get a quote and a better idea and these guys from the front desk to the seat just kept saying we can do this and this or this. My idea turned out much better with their help. Gibby took me on right away and didn’t even hesitate to get the work done. Price was good to me, it did turn out a little pricier from the original quote but the work turned out a little bigger also, so I’m satisfied with the price. Great friendly place to go. Thanks for the sick tat! I’ll have to come by for more work.
Went in for a septum and ended coming out with holes that weren’t equal so my piercing was leaning more to my left side than to the middle on top of that I got a huge HUGE jewelry up in my nose that wasn’t really fitting in. After I got my piercing I didn’t get any info on how to take care of it or anything...
My man, I didnt get his name, bout to go tip him extra, fixed my liner after he pierced my septum. I know where my family is going for piercings and tats. Much love
Great work. Got a tattoo and couldn’t be happier. Everyone’s super nice and the owner Jake is a stand up dude. Would recommend and for sure coming back
I just had a great experience with Star. She held a great conversation with me and made me feel really comfortable. She did exactly what I asked and exceeded my expectations. I’m so happy with how she worked with my existing piece and made my arm look so much better. I can’t wait to come back to EP and get more art from her. Thanks again to Star and the whole crew at Pumping Ink.
Nice clean place, chill staff. Ask for Bobby! He designs some sick tattoos and takes his time to make your tattoo look amazing.
Very good service, every time I go I Definitely recommend it 😊
Go in & ask for Pete!!! Hes done damn near ALL my work
“Doubt” did my dermal neck piercing and was struggling throughout the whole session. When I got home I barely touched it and it fell out. Dermals are the hardest piercings to come out so I know for a fact that he didn’t do it right! Never again will I let him pierce me again, and when I went back I asked if I can get another piercing for the same price and of course they said no. I’m so upset
--The service was great. Pretty fun dudes. Kept us entertained, and it was worth the wait. Two things and a complaint though:1. Waited too long bc even though I was next, the dude took two people before me. I dont care if they were quick piercings, I was there first.2. Price was ok for the detailed of my dreamcatcher, but when I reminded the artist what he had forgotten, hed get an attitude. Im sure it was just joking around bc we laughed it off, but I still think he wanted to cut corners bc it was getting late and I was the last one. Not my fault he took two people before me when it was my turn. He was cool though. He did add the requests.Lastly, it did look great (the dreamcatcher) until now thats healing. You can see he missed a few spots. I highlighted and put this pic on black and white so you can see the spots he missed. If you look closely, the gray ish spots, theyre pieces missing. Or not enough ink. It looks awful. It looks like my little brother drew it on with sharpie.I will be calling you guys. And once it heals and make sure it is missed spots, I will fly out there for you to fix it. Oh yeah, I am not from Texas. I was there on vacation. And now I have to fly back bc of their rush.
Sal Irigoyen is the best tattoo artist hands down. Very patient and elaborates as an artist to deliver the most perfect tattoos! All my tattoos but 1 were done by him and Ive left satisfied time after time!
They’re very expensive but other than that good service
Got a piece done by Dennis. It came out sweet. Hella great price and overall awesome quality. Will be going back for some more ink.
Had Dennis as my artist, very happy with everything. I had an idea of what I wanted and then he made it even better. Down to earth guy and he listened to what I wanted. Definitely will be going back for some more work.
Nice Tattoo Place !!
Pumping ink is the only place I’ll get my tattoos done, Tots is an amazing artist and would refer him to anyone. The atmosphere is really chill, clean and everyone is friendly. 10/10 would recommend!
Great place! Probably the only shop Ill go to get tats at. Rob is a great artist i highly recommend you ask for him if you go here!
Great environment and even better people. Got mine from Star and it was the best experience Ive ever had. If your coming here and not getting a tattoo from her, your wrong.
Went here to get a cover up done paid 600 upfront, half way through the session Gibby had to leave. I had a clear picture of what i wanted done. The lines were crooked and half of them dont even connect. It was simple feathers, but you cant even tell what they are on half of them. I stated that the lines he drew were way to big, but he proceed andways. He colored my leafs brown, even though they were black and white in the picture. Now im out 300$ that was never finished. I have and even worse tattoo that i need to clean up, and now that its so bad no one will touch it. Wont even call me back to finish up the work. I wouldnt recommend this place unless you like being ripped off and your in a hurry.
I would tell every person that I know to go to this place they have patiencevery gentle and light-headed and everything that they do theyre wonderful and they do a wonderful job
Great quality, great personality and most importantly they are passionate about their work.
I live out of state and contact Pumping Ink online and asked if they could fit a whole sleeve in, I booked LilAlex for 2 back to back sessions. From the moment I walked in I felt like family, every artist in the shop is amazing. My sleeve ended up taking 19 hours and 3 days back to back to back but it came out perfect and Alex made sure of it. Couldn’t ask for a better artist or a better shop. I’ve already had him start on my next tattoo design. If your in the market for a new tattoo Pumping ink is the only place you should go.
Shop took my momma, brother, and I as walk ins. Within five minutes of talking to the staff at the front desk, we each had an artist ready to work with us. The entire shop was friendly, professional, and helpful. Our individual artists were attentive and their work was nicely done. Junior worked on my design and I absolutely love it. I wouldnt go to anyone else. Rob did my mommas first ever tattoo and was in tune to her discomfort and knowing when she needed a break. Long story short lol great place to go. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is due to the price being a bit high for the size, but at the end of the day, better to pay more for quality. Happy we found this shop.
Went in for a piercing, saw couple of employees not wearing a mask,,,but not only that there were like 4 army soldiers, as costumers, not Wearing masks either,,,, that’s very disappointed 😞,,,,they don’t care about costumers health,,,used to be my fav place for piercings,,,, how sad 🤷🏻♀️
Daughter got nose piercing. Guy was very professional and was very friendly.
Amazing place to go. The prices are very reasonable and the people are amazing. I had a 6 hour session with Meteor and he was amazing. I will not be going to any other place than this one. They make you feel like family and not just a client.
I just loved my two experiences at Pumping Ink. Although it is on the higher end of price it is well worth it. Both My experiences I had the pleasure of getting my work done by STAR! She is Amazing and a great person To be around. Her work is Beautiful and well detailed. I even had her redo one of my old tattoos and fell in love with her version of it. I would definatly recommend Pumping Ink to anyone looking for their first or next tattoo.
I definitely could’ve gotten this tattoo for cheaper elsewhere and it probably would have looked better. It’s not terrible and the staff was super friendly. But the line work is crooked and it’s just not something I’m very happy with. 500 dollars was not worth it.
Got tatted by WisH cool peoples..going back soon!
I wouldn’t recommend this place, they tax to much for the tattoos, you can get them cheaper somewhere else and better quality
