If you want your piercing experience to be pleasant, go see Pat! He legitimately made me comfortable and thats big for me. His equipment was sterilized, as it should have been. He opened packages in front of me - and this is something that any artist should make a habit of doing. I was marked, pierced, and on my way rather quickly! I even asked for titanium, and he had it on hand.Long story short, if you want your piercing done right, this is where you should be!

The workers are very professional and nice. I got my tattoo as a walk-in and it’s was very quick and just what I wanted. It’s my first tattoo on me and they did an amazing job. The pricing is low and reasonable for you design. If you ever want a tattoo, I highly recommend this place.

I got both a tattoo and a piercing during my visit today. Patrick did my piercings, he made sure I liked the placement before he did it. He also was very nice and held a conversation with me to distract me from the pain. He made sure everything was clean and also taught me about the after care. It was a really good experience.

While my piercer was clean & orderly, I would have liked to not know my piercers personal options on piercings. For her to comment that piercing are “unoriginal & they’re all the same” before shoving a needle thru my nose, is not exactly something to put me at ease. Since she made the comment before piercing me, she made my septum piercing severely crooked. She was sweet otherwise, but she shouldn’t be piercing people & telling them how unoriginal they are. She needs to keep her personal opinions on her job at home.

Amazing place for a piercing. If you want a fast, clean and pro piercing than PAT is your guy. He did an excellent job and the prices are great. Couldn’t be more happier. So thanks Pat for my snake eyes piercing. Always coming to you from now on. Truly a professional:)

My husband and I are leaving on orders soon and wanted to do one last thing here and we called and Oscar answered and told us he’d take care of us. And take care of us he did. He was very understanding and listened and helped us with placing and images we got 4 in total and he didn’t rush and gave a military discount and good pricing. Ask for Oscar he is AMAZING and we had a very good experience here.

After reading the great reviews I decided to come get a piercing done here. The process was pretty smooth but the guy doing my piercing could of had better customer service. I wasn’t getting good vibes from him and he didn’t give me any run down on care instructions as I was about to leave so when I asked he just seemed annoyed.

Decided to get my ears pierced and went in to this place according to the reviews. Pat helped me out and was a cool dude. He also did the piercing which turned out to be way less painful and stressful than I had imagined. I was in and out in less than fifteen minutes. Easy process, cool staff.

I had a great experience both times I went here. I first got a tatoo from John boy and it is beautiful and exactly what I wanted then I went back for a piercing from Pat and he was gentle and quick and placed perfectly. I will be going back for another tatoo and piercing in near future.

My brother referred me to Divianna for tattoo and piercings. She did an amazing job on my first tattoo and she also pierced my nose. She pierced my sister too and we all loved her service. I would recommend her for anyone that’s looking for a tattoo or piercing, she really made my first time an enjoyable experience I cannot wait to go back for more.

I had my Monroe and dermal done here. They were so nice and saw me almost immediately for the monroe, then let me get the dermal on a whim after explaining the process to me. Also no issues when I changed the placement 20 times. This was a few months ago- but I was looking the place up to consider for my next tat.

My wife and I came in to get nose piercings at about 9pm tonight. Pat was on hand and welcomed us as only he can. We were in and out in about 20 minutes, maybe less! Very clean, sterile, quick and accurate. I will recommend anyone looking for a piercing to hit Pat up. You point, he pokes!

This will now be the only place i go for piercings !!Today i got my 17th piercing ‼️SO i have ALOT of experience going to different shops‼️ I went in tonight and got my 🐱 pierced by Pat, i was so worried about the pain, and just the awkward process in general. It isnt eazy to just let someone pierce that area. But Pat made me feel so comfortable, he was also super helpful with recommendations and after care . Allowed me to relax and even asked how i was doing throughout the placement and piercing process 😌 it was quick and IMO painless . If youve been waxed before you can handle hit 💅😌GO SEE PAT !!!

Dee did my piercing and Eddiee did my tattoo. Theyre were both very professional but created a fun and comfortable environment. Dee made the process as painless as it can be, talked me through it, and made sure I was okay. Eddiee was fast, with a light hand and made sure I got what I wanted. He did not rush or pressure me whatsoever. Both work done at an affordable price! This place is worth your time and money. 😊❤

They are not open when they say they are, I called ahead to see if an appointment was required for a piercing and they said no just come on in. Their website said they were open but the doors were locked and no one picked up the phone. Took my money to another shop who actually goes by what hours they advertise.

Review №78

So my sleeve journey started with a cover up tattoo for something I got done in high school. I been been to three different shops and three different artists. Out of all the experiences in San Antonio I can definitely say that John Boy from Custom Ink has been hands down the best artist for black and grey with shading!He free handed the entire thing and was able to finish up all in one session for me. The price for tattoos in San Antonio are all about reasonable. You have to respect the fact that this is their livelihood and there are shop fees, supplies fees, etc and tattoos are time consuming. I felt he gave me a great deal and helped with the price for my wifes tattoo as well.An important note about getting your tattoo is knowing what you want and communicating that with the artist. After getting my sleeve done I feel like I can communicate art better now and trust the artist (like I did with John) and he added his style and free-handed what is the best piece on my arm.Thanks you!

Custom Ink tattoo is by far the best place I have been too. The place is clean and the staff are very friendly and professional. My artist was Mike. I had an idea for a tattoo and he drew it and customized it for me. Mike has a lot of talent and I am very happy with my tattoo. My overall and personal experience was5 *****, if I could rate more I would.Two things: 1.) Go to Custom Ink Tattoo2.). Go see MikeWill definitely go back for more work.David

I went in because I was having trouble changing my helix earrings, and Dee took one look at them and told me they were improperly pierced! She showed me how they should look and explained why my rings wouldnt fit. She also helped me find some cute studs to replace the ring Id bought previously (the studs fit; the hoops dont) and gave me great advice if I ever want to get them repierced the *right* way!

My overall experience from the time I called to the time I stepped out the door was FANTASTIC!! I chose custom ink tattoos based off of their awesome website and several excellent reviews. I loved being able to see each tattoo artists personal picture and individual work before I came in. I wanted a 10 year old tattoo that was fading revitalized. i was greeted with a smile and a handshake by my artist Jason. The shop was energetic, clean, and comfortable. Jason was quick to assess my old tattoo, answered all of my questions, offered a more than fair price, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. He was extremely gentle during the whole session and constantly asked me how I was doing. Im a medical professional so this resonated with me. Jason took my tattoo to the next level. His hand is steady. His work is beautiful and precise. He is an extremely talented artist. I am beyond pleased!! Ive asked Jason to help me create a mandala piece as my next tattoo.less »

The tattoo artists here are very professional and did a very awesome job on the tattoos I’ve seen. They will actually listen to what you want. Eddie and Rudy were mine and they were amazing.

Got my first tattoo yesterday at Custom Ink and I have to say, it was such a positive experience! Everyone was super cool, and my friend and I were helped right away. Jason was the artist and he was great! He did an amazing job, not only on the tattoo, but also making sure the placement was perfect and making sure I knew what the aftercare would be like. I highly recommend Custom Ink to anyone looking to get a high quality tattoo!! :)

Review №92

Was less than impressed with this place. Went in with my wife and step daughter to get tattoos on Sunday. They were busy which is a good thing but I asked how long the wait would be, I could not get an answer. The guy behind the cash register that I tried talking to was more interested in playing a lotto card than he was in talking to us. We found another shop and between the 3 of us dropped about $800 in new ink. Being busy is not an excuse for rude behavior........Maybe a little team member coaching is in order.

So get this, it’s Christmas Eve and my cousin and I are supposed to go to another artist to get ink, things happen so we couldn’t go to that artist so we called around and found custom ink, they took us in and the atmosphere was super inviting, and just all around good vibes. Jason did our tattoos and was super nice and welcoming plus I’m in love with my tattoo. I don’t live in SA but best believe I’m coming back to custom ink when I visit again

Custom ink by far is a great place to get your tattoo done at! Especially by Jay! Im in the military and I got told by many people to go to custom ink. I got my thigh done with Jay and he kept a total professional manner. I Recommend everyone and ladies to go to him! Im one of his loyal customers and still getting my entire leg done by him! His work is amazing, he takes his time, makes sure everything you want is the way you want it and where exactly to put your tattoo, My time with him was amazing, he kept it totally professional, and doesnt over charge you for bullshit like many other tattoo shops in San Antonio Texas! I even took my time to look at most of the shops here and I didnt like them because many of them were very rude when I walked in as a lady. Custom inks service is phenomenal and I love all the guys in there! They are beyond friendly and welcoming to anyone! They are very professional, extremely clean they even open up the new needles right In front of you to show how clean and safe they really are for your care. Everyone go to custom ink! You will not regret it! All the others are haters!
