Great place I get lots of work done there, there a little pricey but the quality of work is spectacular. If you want cheap call your buddy to do it if you want quality go to Tom Fooleries Tattoo.
I’m so happy with my new art! Richard was kind, professional, and welcoming which is something that is hard to find in an artist from personal experience. The shop itself is super cool and they had one of my favorite shows on tv while getting it done. Great work at a great price! Would recommend to anyone looking to get ink in El Paso.
Alex was referred by a buddy and he is not only an amazing artist but a great person and now a friend. His ability to understand what I wanted and execute is extremely impressive. I highly recommend him.
I came to Tom Fooleries for my first tattoo - a memorial tattoo for my grandma, and I had a great experience. Richard was very laidback and didn’t make me nervous at all. He gave me a lot of instructions for care and made the whole experience great, and my tattoo looks amazing! It’s exactly what I envisioned. Thank you so much Richard!
I had a work done here. Price ok which explain why tattoo went bad. The person who did the tat was new. Now looking for a place that will cover down the bad done tattoo. It was a simple tattoo, Will not recommend anyone here. Couldnt come back as I was visiting family and decided to get a tattoo during the weekend.
I went a while back with a friend that only goes here. We drive from Carlsbad NM just for this reason. Alex did the most amazing cover up on my arm. I get nothing but compliments in it. So we just went back a couple of days ago and Alex did hers and if course it is perfect. Richard did mine and it was horrible. I have numbing soap and he barely used it. Very heavy handed and slow. I felt like he was ripping through my skin. My tat is too dark, cant tell what it is. Nothing like he implied it would be or what I wanted. It looks like a blob of ink spilled on my leg. Its still very painful. I can still see the old tat through the ink. Did not cover it good. Its dark and hideous. I paid $250 and I am so mad. Will go back to ALEX ONLY. Will never let Richard near me again. I also just noticed that all the bad reviews on here are about him. Its a great place so dont let one bad apple ruin for it everyone. He has a black sleeve on one arm if you dont know his name. Just let someone else do your work.
Spent 2 days with Amy working on a very special piece in honor of a loved one. She worked with me patiently to figure out exactly how I wanted it to look. It turned out so much better than I expected. I had only positive experiences here and would happily go back.
I love the guys at Tom Fooleries!! They are professional, yet laid back and great at what they do. When you first walk in youll notice how bright and colorful the studio is, which, for me, sets it apart from many other tattoo studios Ive visited and really expresses a love of art, not only inked skin.I first came in for some cover up work and had not known exactly what I wanted. Tony consulted with me on what he thought would make for unique and appealing work, rather than just accepting what I had initially thought I wanted. He explained to me in a very professional manner what he disliked about my idea and trusting him was the best choice I could have made! No Doubt! I now enjoy two beautiful landscapes and you would never guess they were cover ups. The experience at Tom Fooleries is well worth the trip from New Mexico and I will definitely be back for more!!I highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for quality work because of their raw talent, experienced skill, and quality products used. My color is vibrant and has made me a forever fan of color tattoos!
Im currently stationed in New Mexico and was looking for a tattoo artist that specialized in Japanese style tattoos. I came across Tom Fooleries website and saw the perfect scores they got and they live up to their reputation! Tony worked on my half-sleeve and it came out great. I get a lot of compliments for it and everyone wants to know where I got tattooed at. Not only that even people who arent into tattoos love my half-sleeve and want to know where I got it done at. While Tony worked on my tattoo, Alex is a talented artist as well and I highly recommend them!
These guys are amazing! They are amazing artists and make even the slightest experience awesome! The art they make is one of a kind and very well made, as well as the fact that they have quality art. The artists are great to get along with and make sure that it is an enjoyable art piece. I highly recommend tomfooleries to anyone who asks about tattoos, great job, keep it up guys!
My husband and I have been going to Tom Fooleries for a couple of years now. The reason we go back each time is because of the service and diversity. They are very professional and courteous and make you feel welcome. Their work is extremely professional and displays a extreme amount of quality. I have always recieved compliments from random people at work or the grocery store asking where I get my art work done at. I recommend Tom Fooleries each and every time. I have seen other reviews that have not had a good experience. I would ask them to go in and give them another shot. I promise you wont regret it.😊
The team at Tom Fooleries are AWESOME!!!!! They came into town for this body art expo at the convention center in Austin, TX. They were polite, easy to chat with and very professional. They made me feel more comfortable getting my second tattoo with the steps they walked me through and of course the great price they quoted me.Tony did my tattoo and he was very attentive, calm and showed me all the tools he was using right out of the package. I am from El Paso and visit every now and then, but next time I go, I am definitely going to see their place. :0)
Great spot! Was handled well by Peter and all the Tom Fooleries staff. Got a piece done by Amy, and shes very good at what she does!! My boy got a piece done by Richard, also very good!! We were both satisfied with the quality of the work, prices we paid, professionalism, and overall atmosphere of their shop. I definitely recommend! Thanks guys(and gal)! ✌🏾️
This is the second time I get a piercing done at this location. I will definitely be going back. The staff is courteous and very patient. The shop is clean and very neat (Very Important for a tattoo shop). Chill environment, made me laugh even though I was nervous. Plus in my book.
I went in today and got a labret piercing. It was such an amazing experience. He explained everything thoroughly and showed me each step as he went so I knew everything was clean and unused. He was very friendly and was very gracious. Plus it was only $20. I will definitely be back here again!
Amy is great I would recommend her to anyone. She did a great military suicide prevention piece for me and is now going to work on finishing my back. She had a light touch and her line work is great. Place is also clean and well priced.
Got a tat after my husband came here to get tatted by Richard. I went to the same guy. Hes awesome, a true pro, and the price was amazing. Loved the shops atmosphere and everyone there was courteous and professional. Would recommend to anyone.
I have gone here for my only two tattoos and it is the only place I would ever go to get them! The service is amazing and so is the artwork. Theyre very professional and would never leave you disappointed. I would definitely go back for my next tattoos.
Went in and got tattooed by Hong. He is a great artist and friendly. The entire staff made you feel welcome. Not only is the quality good but the pricing is exceptional for the work they do. I will definitely be going back, thank you guys.
This is my first time getting a tattoo ever and i am absolutely in love with it.! The first time i went was with a friend to get hers done and i liked the artists style. He is amazing, so i wanted mine done by him as well. When i saw mine after it was done, i was left speechless. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect.!
I went in to get a piercing, and I am extremely satisfied! It came out better than I thought. The staff is so friendly, and made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely come back if I decide to get a tattoo or another piercing.
I moved here to El Paso about a year ago and since then, been searching for a tattoo artist who does Asian Calligraphy. Thankfully, I cam across Tom Fooleries Tattoo Extravaganza. I went with an idea of what I wanted and where I wanted to get it inked, but Peter helped me find a better placement that made the tattoo look a lot better. Tony, the owner of the shop, was the artist who did my Japanese Calligraphy tattoo and it came out EXACTLY the way I wanted it, very clean work and well worth my money.The shop was very clean, in which you can tell he runs a professional business. The staff welcomes you as if you are a long time friend, overall it was a great and ultimately satisfying experience. I plan to go back for my next tattoo which is a big project of mine.
Love it here. Prices are pretty good. Richard does wonderful work! Very happy with my tattoo and my husband got a complex piece done and it turned out wonderful. Very happy with the work here.
Gotten a lot of tattoos, but the best artist Ive ever had the privilege to be worked on by was Alex at Tom Fooleries. Get work done by him before he gets famous and charges 500 bucks an hour. Right now hes incredibly reasonable.
Best tattoo place in El Paso! Tony, Peter and Alex are pretty awesome. They make everybody feel comfortable and at ease when getting ink done. I had mine done this morning by Tony and I have to say its the best one yet. Thanks Tony! See ya next time :)
Im working on a sleeve with Amy. She does great work.Edit: We completed the sleeve. She is absolutely dope!
My husband and I went to TF about 2 weeks ago to get some estimates on how much our tattoos would cost. Peter, at the front desk, showed us the shop and introduced us to the staff. Never happened at any other tattoo shop we went. Peter also sat down at his computer and took the time to play around with images and make the tattoo I wanted perfect. We didnt expect any of that to happen but we really appreciated it and felt this was the right place, especially being my first! Just went back yesterday and got my first tattoo on my forearm. The shop was clean, the music was awesome,Tony showed me all of the unopened tools that he was going to use, everyone was so nice. The atmosphere really made me feel comfortable when I was super nervous 10 minutes before walking in. Its nice being able to joke around with the artist and still get a great tattoo at the end of the day. I would definitely recommend this shop and would go back for more!
I have gotten 2 tattoos from here. This place is the best. 1st was from Alex and 2nd from Amy. One was no better than the other. I highly recommend this shop. On both tattoos I had ideas of what I wanted, and within an hour they had the perfect stencil.
Ive gotten two of my three tattoos at tom fooleries and im very pleased with their professionalism and love for tattooing. As soon as i walked in i was greeted and helped, when i scheduled my tattoo i was still undecided on exactly what i wanted for my half sleeve but Peters suggestions put my mind to ease and the end result was a great tattoo. I will definitely go back to finish my sleeve.
Everyone there is always friendly and professional. Ive been going with Amy for a few times and shes awesome and has really good ideas! Great atmosphere and quality work.
I did not have to wait. The shop was clean and well lit. Plenty of parking. I was able to see my brand new needle taken out the package. $20 nose piercing with the jewelry included.
Richard tattooed me, my husband, mom, and dad over the past month. We all had similar ideas for what we wanted, but each was a little different. He took his time with each of us to make it what we wanted to honor my daughter. I get tons of compliments on the piece
Tony (the cool Korean man) did a good job on my tattoo! I was a little undecided on exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it at and he helped me decide...and out of all my tattoos I think this is not only the best, but my favorite! Most tattoo places Ive been in (but never got work done there) were dirty looking and they didnt do a good job cleaning the areas, but this place was as clean as a top rated hospital! Im definitely going back for more! :)
My friend and I both got our first tattoos yesterday with Hong and they turned out great! The artists are fun to be around and even the one we made an appointment with followed up with us when he saw we were getting them. Hong made both of us feel comfortable and asked if we were okay after he started. Opened needles in front of us and poured ink into a tiny cup for single use. Also amazing price for quality work!
Amazing Staff, Ambience, Extremely Professional And Savvy. I Will Definitely Be Back.
They were so patient because I wanted my tattoo to be perfect. So my tattoo artist drew several versions of my tattoo til I finally loved it and the tattoo came out beautiful and it was super quick ! Will be going there from now on
Super friendly and professional staff! Extremely talented artists! I will definitely be back for more work.
Great place and experience, AMAZING ink from Alex. Cant wait to go back to get tat finished... then to get more!Clean, good atmosphere, friendly, great music.
Right to the point, the shop is clean, everyone working were professional.Alex did my work and I am extremely happy with the piece he did.There is a bit of a wait for Alex, so be prepared to wait a tad. The wait is truly worth it.
Pretty traumatizing experience for a friend of mine and seemed like the tattoo artist/ piercer was clueless, as well as unapologetic when he made an error on a piercing. No recommendation and an experience not worth remembering.We entered a little after 5 PM. We sat and waited for a single staff member to complete a tattoo. The customer experience seems really casual, but I figured it was just an in/ out type of place and the notebooks on the counter have artistic drawings with some decent shading. So, I initially disregarded the pathetic customer service etiquette. It was awkward and the location is in a strip mall. The other businesses nearby are not big-name to generate enough foot traffic. While others mention plenty of parking and a great location, it is possible that it is just because it is beyond the entrance of the Fort Bliss Cassidy gate.The piercing was removed from the package without gloves and then he put on gloves after it was on the tray. The staff member confirmed when he would begin the piercing and allowed my friend to put a dot with the marker where she wanted the piercing. He then took 3 minutes to pierce the skin, lost the stem of the jewelry inside the front of her ear flap. As he circled the jewelry around, blood gushed from her ear and he then proceeded to say Oh, f@#! And repeated this expletive several times. When he finally acknowledged he screwed up, no sorry was given, no care instructions other than be sure to clean it and put Neosporin. Seems like this place is named appropriately—foolery by a team of fools.
They know what they are doing and are very friendly. If you want your work done right this is a great place. Cash is preferred and they have an ATM on site if you need.
I got my cartilage pierced here several days ago. The people were super professional and laid back, and explained every step before doing it. The piercing ended up perfectly - perfect angle, perfect place... Thank you!
Alex are the best tattoo artist that i ever knew ❤ Ill share all the tattoos i have in the next week
Great place! Had a piercing done. fast and friendly!
Great people and atmosphere. Thanks Richard for my tattoo. Love it
This was my first tattoo, and Tony did an amazing job! I am absolutely in love with it. If Im still in El Paso by the time I get my next tattoo, I will defiantly be coming back here!
Tony did my Koi fish and did a GREAT job on the design and that tattoo experience itself. Very friendly and accepting employees and made it a great experience. I recommend this place to all!!!
I go to school in Las Cruces and I just recently got my second tattoo at Tom Fooleries. Not only do I now have a gorgeous tattoo but I had a really fun time doing it! Tony was my tattoo artist and he did an amazing job on my sunflower tattoo and an amazing job making me feel comfortable. Tony is an amazing artist and I will be recommending this place to all my friends in the future :)
Great experience. Great artist. overall an easy going place to get a tattoo from.
Alex and amy are awesome artist, friendly and enthusiastic about it all. Definately come here you wont regret it!👌
Working with Richard right now, great guy and great tattoo artist! Definitely recommend them!
Unique custom art work .chill vibes and great art
Awesome place! Got my first tattoo there everyone was awesome from setting up an appointment to the finish....
Tom Fooleries was very rude, acted as if I was not their, and did not help me in any way as if they were not even concerned with having me as a customer. I dont even think there previous reviews were real, because I was not treated in any way like the other customers that reviewed them. Hopefully this was just my experience, however I was not impressed with the service or the shop.
Was super nervous about getting my nose pierced but everyone there were so nice that it made the experience very comfortable!
Amazing artist will share pic when my back piece is done
Clean establishment and friendly artists. Best customer service ever and Peter has the steadiest hands!
Great service and amazing work. I have gotten my second tattoo at Tom Fooleries and I will continue getting more, and I recommend everyone to get their tattoos done here.
Was very impressed by the friendly service, I got helix piercings and was very satisfied with the look, great place for piercings .I recommend!
My husband asked me to write this, this place by far has been the best out of my husbands many tattoos. Very clean n genuinely good artist. Lil Alex did my husbands Tatoo n it came out amazing! We will b visiting el paso again just for the next tattoo. We r from Florida.
Awesome place & even better ppl!! I dont let anybody else touch me with a needle besides Alex.
Everyone in the shop is awesome Peter, Tony and Alex. Personally Alex has done all my tattoos and never disappoints, highly recommend it if you are looking to get the best ink in el paso!!
Well I went yesterday 4/9/16 shop says they closed at 7:45! I showed up at 7 I wanted to ask a question on options for a tattoo cover up and the door was closed I look in the window and I see a guy in there he looks at me and turns away! Not professional at all and FYI to the owners if your business says close at 7:45 and your front door says the same thing why are the doors closed at 7 smh not good business
Tom Fooliers is by far the best tattoo place in El Paso. I have been going to Tony for all of my tattoo needs for over two years. He and Peter gives good advice on placement and size but still maintains what you want done. His pricing is more then fair and his work is excellent. The shop is always clean and well maintained. You can really tell in Tonys work that he actually enjoys his job. My wife and myself had a horrible tattoos done in Pa and Tony was able to recover it and make it prefect. Now Tony is the only person myself and my wife will go to. Their ink quality is also far superb to any of the other studios I have seen. I have not had any issues with fading and any time we had questions he was able to answer them. I definitely recommend TF to anyone looking for tattoos and I have sent maybe people there.. You cant go wrong with TF :)
They are awesome!!! Waiting for your tattoo? Thats cool play ps3, Xbox 360 while you wait, or enjoy one of their many movies. They have their actual portfolio, where they actually insert their own drawings. Unlike some of these posers in el paso. Ive been to two places before the guys at Tom Fooleries, and hands down they are the best! Super creative, you wont be disappointed.
Greatest shop in el paso! custom work, great prices, friendly enviroment! i get all my tattoos at this shop, and they all came out excellent!
Appointment was too far out. Went outwhere.
Great work. Could not be more satisfied
The place was clean the staff was nice and the work is AWESOME
