Gotten most of my tattoos done here, fantastic staff & immaculate shop. They have a restroom & comfy couches to wait on. I would recommend not bringing more than one guest, however, to maintain social distancing & reduce spread of germies. Smells clean everytime I walk in. William is my man, hit him up for some sick tats!!
Omg they were so friendly and kind the lady that did my piercing was amazing I don’t think I will ever go anywhere else. 100/10 I love how it turned out!!!!!!
Enjoyed the guys I met. Terry made it as comfortable as he could for me and my messed up elbow. Will visit again soon
Matt is one great artist, he is a must see for all your tattoos needs!
Awesome experience, going back again for more art work.
Great experience, was getting my first tattoo done here and they did a fantastic job with it, even pitching in artistic advice for the design. Shoutout to Big Mike.
Have you been looking for a tattoo shop that not only delivers exquisite art work from very talented artist, but also top notch customer service? Search no more...King Pin is the Place to go for all your tattoo and piercing needs. Happy Guy over here!
Will is fantastic, no complaints for any reason. Cherry is my sons autism piece came out better than I thought. Will is the real deal, plus two great piercers. My 2¢
Great place. Just got my eyebrow pierced there and if was fast and they were very clean and professional as well. Definitely going back for my next piercing
It was a good place to get a tattoo everyone was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend this shop if you need a tattoo.
Sweet tattoos! Dope artist! Music vibes on point! Really great spot to get tattoos and piercings!
Great group of artist, clean, professional, all in all a top shelf choice for serious tattoo collectors!
Went to get two piercings done and lexi was awesome and explains everything well detailed and her knowledge in types of piercings is really good.
Service is amazing people are great and overall cherry experience
The people are friendly and outgoing great place to get a tattoo
Super friendly and just overall they are a huge comfort. Quick process and reasonable prices 👏🏾👌🏾
Lexi was absolutely amazing and chill to work with, did everything perfectly. Stay vibing girl!!!
I got a double helix piercing here the other day and it turned out great! The staff was super welcoming and nice both to me and my service dog. The person who did my piercing really took the time to make sure the placement was exactly where I wanted it to be, and the piercing itself wasnt painful. 5 stars- Ive recomended them to two friends already!
Dean is my go-to guy! Not only does he do amazing tattoo’s, he is a great guy! He is hilarious as has the best jokes. Which for me is a huge part in getting a tattoo. I want good ink, but if I’m sitting there for hours, I want good conversation. Dean always delivers. He has knocked my cover up out of the park and nailed my other tattoo. I can’t wait for him to fix my other tattoos! When we leave Ft. Hood, I’ll fly back to get tattoos by Dean.
Bruh I’m such a sissy and lexy calmed me down very well and pierced both my nostrils and septum and it went very well 100000 / 10 ✊🏻
The best shop in the area! I wouldnt go anywhere else. Manda May has done some incredible work for me and I wouldnt hesitate to get on her calendar again. The other artists are extremely talented as well!
Kingpin tattoo has always been an amazing place to go. Ive had only GREAT experiences. Terry Martin does my tattoo work and it is always awesome and I always get compliments. I recommend Terry all the time. Amazing artists and relaxed comfortable atmosphere. Love you guys :-)
Absolutely LOVED this shop. I came in with a budget, told my artist, Dean, what I wanted and away he went! The receptionist at the front was friendly, the whole atmosphere was inviting, the couches in the waiting area are crazy comfy, and at the end of the day I ended up with an amazing tattoo! Incredibly pleased by my experience, and it is good to know I dont have to drive very far from Fort Hood for a quality tattoo without spending too much. Highly recommended!
Terry Martin is phenomenal at his trade! Couldnt be happier with my new ink! Kingpin is the spot to go for your ink, all artists there are extremely talented.
Amazing place for a walk in. They got me in, gave me a good price and got to work asap. I was there for an hour tops. Great place and I would go again next time Im in town.
As I tagged you orders I would have to recommend kingpin being by far one of the best tattoo places Ive had the privilege of stepping in and getting something done
I walked in and had a good, sarcasm-filled conversation with the gentleman at the counter, which helped put me at ease being in an unfamiliar shop. I was offered fast assistance, met with a fair price for the piercings I wanted, and the paperwork process took less than two minutes. Leslie, the piercer, was very sweet to me and helped relax me, considering how apprehensive I was. She did the entire set of piercings very quickly and was very confident, which is what I want in someone whos stabbing thick needles through me. :D All in all, Ive had an awesome experience here!! *****
I absolutely loved it! I have multiple tattoos but I think Ive finally found my tattoo artist
I had 3 sessions at king pin for a lower left leg sleeve by Mandy May. Mandy May name is in the conversation when you are talking about the best tattoo artist in Central Texas. The studio is clean and organized along with their appointment system. When in Texas, Mandy May will always have my business . Everyone is friendly and courteous ; Go get tatted !!
Immaculate and professional studio. The staff is very friendly and experienced. Our go-to person for tattoos is Manda May. The first time we went into the studio was for my wife; Manda has always been able to turn our descriptions and ideas into masterpieces. We couldnt be happier, since then my wife has gotten a total of seven tattoos with her, all full color and well detailed. She also freehanded my full sleeves tribal. Manda May been tattooing for over 15 years and will recommend her to anyone.
This shop is clean, professional, and affordable. Terry Martin is my guy. He has done 7 tattoos for me and I trust no one else. His talent is matched only by his professionalism and knowledge. He can take your ideas and spin it into a tat better than you had ever imagined. He has also done my nose and tragus piercings as well as my daughters eyebrow piercing. Believe me, I dont trust just anyone. I have been very impressed with the friendly, helpful staff and atmosphere at Kingpin, too. If youre new to town or just looking for a new place with the best quality, then look no further.
Great experience. Very friendly and professional
It was so quick and easy. Lexi did an amazing job and she made it less scary than I thought it would be.
Super awesome place! Terry was fantastic and very helpful with answering my questions👌👌
Great prices great atmosphere nice staff
I got 2 years there bk in 2003 full color one on my bk and one on each foot none of them have faded or bled or and left white spots the look like I got the a year or maybe 2 ago they are awesome and if I could just find out if Ian Im pretty sure that was his name is still working there I would drive the 6 hours to let him do a couple more because I gave him a general idea of what I wanted and let him do the creative work that I still love till this day and always will but like I sd that was in 2003 when I was in the army so its been a while and prob a fat chance of finding an artist like him that I would trust to put some more ink on me
Best piercer around and tattoo art is badass
Really good artists and masters of their trade! Terry worked with me on design ideas for my tattoo and was extremely informative, helpful, and most importantly professional. I would recommend anyone to check out the shop and artists!
Great prices,great atmosphere, friendly employees, WILL does amazing work and he does not have a heavy hand,i highly recommend kingpin tattoos for all your ink needs or for your first experience into the tattoo world.i WILL be returning.
Terry did a bad ass full color flower tattoo on my side in 2013 and it hasnt faded a bit. We damn near sat through the 4-5 hours straight doing it and hes gentle enough to make that happen. The studio is the greatest, and I will travel clear from Fort Worth for work from Terry and the studio!!
Went to get my belly button piercing and I love it!! They went through the whole process with me and I was in and out. Definetely would recommend!
Quick, Polite, Talented!
Told me it would take 4 hours to draw a really simple design. The place was empty. They were not interested in creating a custom piece with things I wanted. Kept showing me something I didnt want . It really sucked I was so disappointed. Needless to say, I left with no tattoo. Would NOT go back. Dont judge a place by how it looks on the outside.
I never write reviews, EVER... so when I do, I mean business. When I moved to the Fort Hood area from the East Coast a few years ago, I had been hard pressed to find a reputable tattoo shop to have more work done. I was disappointed, seeing the crappy artists people kept referring me, churning out your run of the mill garbage tattoos. I had pretty much given up hope of finding anything...until I found Terry.I found him quite by accident, just happened to be in the area and drove by the shop. With nowhere to go and time to kill, I figured what the heck-- Id check it out. SO GLAD I did. I have five tattoos done by Terry, ranging from a large thigh piece to smaller delicate work when Terry helped me turn my existing 3/4 Japanese sleeve into a full sleeve.Terry puts a great deal of effort and time into the work he puts on each and every client--- and it shows! Not only does he listen to his clients and go above and beyond to make the client happy with their new work-- he is extremely professional and an all around hella cool dude.I spent many hours sitting in Terrys chair whether it was getting hours of new ink work done, or simply getting my labret jewelry switched out. I thoroughly enjoyed the work I got from the shop and enjoyed being in an establishment filled with such courteous and professional individuals. That being said, I give him and his staff two thumbs up!
I loved this place because our artist came in 4 hours early just to do mine and my wifes tattoos and the sheer level of professionalism was amazing it was just what we wanted. We will definitely be going back.
Big Mike is a great artist. Hopefully we can visit for our next tattoo soon.
Big Mike Hooked me and My Bestie from another Testie up! Great place with True Tat Artist. Definitely getting more ink from this establishment soon. Clean safe and Fun atmosphere 💓💓💓💓
Piercer is the freakin bomb!! Nice, but professional. Quick, but precise. Two nipples pierced perfectly. In and out in 10 minutes!!
Fantastic shop, I have had 6 tattoos here, I recommend Brandon he is an amazing artist.
I recommend MandaMay to anyone. She is a absolutely amazing artist. She did my full sleeve and I love it.
Great work, and was really fast! My first tattoo was a complete success. Brandon was awesome!
I got my first tattoo there. Guy drew it up right there, put it on me and shredded it. Did an awesome job. 7 yrs later it still looks great no fading or anything.
I went in to get a very small tattoo (no bigger than a quarter size). The staff was very rude. They all treated me as if I didnt know what I was talking about because they couldnt see that I had other tattoos and knew how the process SHOULD have gone. They did not open the sanitary seal with the needle in front of me. They did it all in the back. Also, the guy tattooing me was very rude and kept telling me smaller wont look better and making it seem like such a hassle to change the placement of the template when its MY body and MY tattoo for the rest of my life. Then when he actually tattooed me, he was very rough and put his whole hand over my face to hold down while he tattooed me. And at the beginning I said I dont think it will hurt that bad haha and he grabbed my face and pushed it hard down to the side without saying a word to me to tattoo the area. Very rough, rude and completely unprofessional. I did not like this experience at all and will never be going back. They also over charged me way too much for a small, simple, all black tattoo. Horrible service, and worst attitudes. They did not make me feel comfortable at all, especially since he did not open the needle in front of me.
Best place in tx for tattoos....Amandas the best and pretty hot too!
Very clean studio, friendly honest staff and artists. Manda May does all of my work. I will not go to any other tattoo shop. All of my piercings have been done there as well.
Dean is awesome. Took my idea and ran with it. The outcome was fantastic!!!
They were awesome. My nipple piercing to my tattoo
I have gotten 3 tattoos from this place and multiple piercings over the past few years. I love the hospitality and the work is great! My husband and I refuse to go anywhere else for our tattoos/piercings.
Terry Martin has done over half my tattoos. I drive hours for him to tattoo me. Its always clean and everyone there is courteous and professional. I definitely recommend this shop and Terry for everyone looking for a tattoo/shop recommendation.
Terry does awesome work. I wont go anywhere else. Unless he moves.
Will Always Trust Kingpin for ink work. This was my sons first Tattoo he loves it.
Absolutely love my tattoo!! I was very comfortable and it was amazing work.
Ive gotten several pieces done at kingpin, my most recent by Manda May. She had solid lines, fine detail, and nice color with a light touch.
THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! Out of all the places Ive gotten a tattoo at, Kingpin Tattoo is by far the cleanest, most professional shop I have ever been to. Ive gotten the last 2 of my 8 tattoos here and will go nowhere else from now on. I especially love the privacy of the art rooms while getting tattooed, and the overall great vibe of the shop. Most places you have to sit in the open and EVERYONE can watch you get tattooed. Here you go into art rooms and are out of the public area which is really nice.All of the artists are nice and talented, especially mine, Manda May- when I came in to setup my appt she was attentive, extremely nice, super knowledgeable, and drew up an original design that I absolutely LOVE between my consult and my appt.She is beyond great and I get neverending compliments on my forearm sleeve. Im already researching my next tattoo idea to get here and highly recommend this shop to everyone-they will take care of you and make you sure are comfortable and receive the best artwork and experience ever! Whether you are a first timer or already have tattoos this is the shop to go to :) my friend traveled from North Carolina to get her artwork done here and another got a piercing while I was getting my work done and we are all extremely satisfied
Best experience ever the tattoos are worth the price and the seller and service there is great
Only shop Ill go to. Great people. You get what you pay for. Dupper and Shay are great artist.
Terry is the bomb diggity.
Excellent job
An incompetent apprentice pierced my nose on both sides, and completely f**** up one of the sides. It was pierced vertically and almost came out of the opening of my nose. I went back in and they completely denied that it was pierced incorrectly. maybe they have good artists but the service i has was terrible.
These damn owner responses are hilarious 2 thumbs up!
It was a busy night but it was worth it will definitely go back!!
Manda is the best artist there!
Excellent service
Really clean shop! Awesome artists!
They were very professional. Will be back.
Lovely staff
Good Customer Service
Went there for a piercing. Was in and out in 10 minutes
Very professional, clean, and friendly. Best place for great piercings and fantastic tattoos.
Guys were rude and insulted my previous tattoos.. wanted to charge me 150$ for a 3 letter one finger tattoo. Went to killeen and got it done for 25$.
WAY OVERPRICED
Manda May 222...the one to see!
Great thanks Manda May
Service were great
Dean is awesome!
Nice
Elegant, professional, talented
Great place
Awesome work
