Jeremiah does amazing work and the shop has a nice feel and atmosphere to it! All the staff was very friendly and professional. My last tattoo I got done here turned out amazing and I wasn’t uncomfortable while getting it done as well. Definitely check this place out when thinking about getting another piece !!

I took my 7 yr old to get her ears pierced. She did the 1st one and had the most mega melt down. The staff was sooooo incredibly patient with the hour long fit that came after. We left with 1 ear pierced and a gift certificate foe the 2nd one we paid for. We went to dinner and came back for ear #2. She got the second pierced no questions asked as soon as we asked in. Did like a champ too. I was so impressed I got my nose pierced with my niece. Did an amazing job. I would highly recommend them for piercings. Very clean. Very professional. Very, very patient. They will work with you.

I went in a little nervous, since it was my first piercing, but everything went very well! They were super friendly and professional. I was a bit dizzy after, but they were very reassuring and knew what to do. We also really enjoyed the opportunity to support our veterans. 10/10 business/would recommend. Thank you!!!

The office and rooms are super clean,Robert was very friendly and explained step by step what he was doing as he was piercing my nose. He gave a very detailed process on how to keep the piercing clean afterwards. Ive never been to a more friendly shop and I 100 percent reccomend going to them!!

Robert does the most professional job with piercing. super kind, sanitary. barely even feel the piercings. John the owner and tattoo artist is equally as amazing. highly recommend @resurrectionink

I needed help in getting some earrings out that had actually been stuck to the backing for....? I also needed help in getting a nose ring to replace the original piercing one. I did not want to go to the place I had had my nose pierced. I felt uncomfortable there, even though the people were nice. Resurrection Inks was a totally different experience! Robert was the one who helped me. He was so kind and gentle and patient. I needed a lot done, and he helped with everything. Even the music in the shop was soft and soothing. I wish I had gone there the first time. Highly highly recommend!!

A little out of the way, but definitely worth it! The shop was meticulous. They take great care in sterilization practices. Explained everything in great detail. Im feeling very confident that I will be returning for more body art later.

Wonderful people, wonderful experience. Atmosphere was welcoming and everyone was polite. Robert took care of a piercing and did a great job. Highly recommend!

A great experience for a walk in! Robert Musgrave was very patient with me in getting the right position for my piercing and did an excellent job! I didnt feel a thing. He also helped me with another piercing I already had and picking out some more jewelry. Very professional and very clean. Explained the whole process and aftercare and made sure I understood.

The best experience and great work by John Mahfood.

I had went there a few years ago. And I love them, Sorry to say they are not what they used to be. I will not be back... I will not waste my time. One star is actually generous! 🤦‍♀️

Joe is an amazing artist. Hands down the best around!!!

Very clean atmosphere and the owner is very polite and has answers to all your questions. Everything Ive seen that hes done its been beautiful. Hes going to fix a tattoo that I got for a memorial of my son and I wouldnt have nobody else to do it

Got my ears pierced here, I’ve had them redone a few times before (different shops) and they just wouldn’t heal properly. It’s been about a week or two since I came here and it’s healing so nicely! Definitely recommend coming here, very professional. My piercer was very nice and informative. And I love how I was given a lollipop after it was done haha

Great place to get a tattoo. He knows his stuff. (30+ years)

I went there to get a tattoo today, or at least a quote, since its my birthday in a few days. I also wanted the tattoo to cover up another tattoo thats about a quarter size that I got when I was a kid. I was super excited since I havent been to a tattoo shop since 2012 and drove an hour to get there because I heard that they were the best around. As soon as I got there they opened and they have signs out in the parking lot that say to call before you go in and so I did. The fellow answered and I told him good morning and that I saw the signs that say to call before coming in (due to covid-19) and his reply was yeah? which was a bit off putting at first. I responded by asking him if he was available for a tattoo and told me to wait a few minutes as they were still setting up shop. After a few minutes he motioned me inside and asked what he could do for me. I told him Id like a tattoo of Thors hammer to cover up my other tattoo. The man pulled out a calendar book and told me that the next open slot would be next Tuesday or Wednesday. I told him Wednesday was fine and as he was writing it in I asked if I could get a quote and started to pull out my phone to show him a picture. He told me, before I could even get the phone out, that he isnt the tattoo artist and that the artist is busy at the moment so he wasnt able to get a quote but estimated that it would be between $200-$500 - all the while rushing me out the door. I was a bit puzzled and shocked. I wasnt planning on getting some extravagant piece but just something simple. I told him that I hope he has a good day and left to drive an hour home. I hope this review helps others. On the plus side they look very clean and professional. Maybe a bit socially awkward though.I thank you for your response but on your website it only mentions that if your tattoo is bigger than a deck of cards then you need to come to the shop to get a quote which I understand (even though what I want is smaller than a deck of cards). It does not mention that you have to schedule an appointment to get a quote. If it had said that then I would have called to set up an appointment instead of driving an hour only to be told that the tattoo artist(s) is unavailable. Thank you again for your response and your service (I heard yall are veterans and I highly respect people who fought for our country) but Ill just find another place to get a tattoo.

Three of us went to go get piercings here & we were super impressed with how friendly, helpful and professional the staff was. The establishment itself was bright & clean, inspection ready 👍 plus they’re a bunch of military vets up there, so if you’re into supporting the veteran community, that’s an added incentive. Overall rating, 10/10 would use again

I just got my Tragus surface pierced!! He did an Amazing Job. This was my second time getting something pierced with him. Hes a Real Cool dude and takes his time!! BEST THING HE KNOWS WHAT HES DOING!!! I would definitely recommend him!!

VERY clean shop, reasonable prices, and great artists. This place is as family-friendly as any tattoo parlor could possibly be. John Mahfood is amazing! Hes done tattoos and piercings for my husband and me, and we couldnt be happier with the service we received. Definitely worth the drive.

Very professional, out going and they help out a lot! Fantastic place! Highly recommended :) Heres one of the piercing my bf got from there! They did it very carefully and its healed very great!

Cant wait for the tattoo to be done

I’ve been here for several piercings and have been very pleased with the cleanliness of the shop and professional but chill vibes it has. Robert did an excellent job of keeping me calm but also making sure I knew what to expect. Will definitely be back when I’m ready for another one!

Best place in East Texas to get a tattoo great service and pricing

Izzy loved it and the tattoo was 100% We will be back for sure .they was very nice very happy

Update 03/17/21:Robert is an absolute gem. I went in to have my septum pierced and it was the least painful piercing Ive ever gotten. I was very nervous so imagine my surprise when it was done and I hadnt come flying out of the chair. He explained every step as he went, and gave me stellar aftercare instructions. Its been about a week since I got it done and its barely sore now. All these guys are just amazing. Dont go anywhere else!Today was the best tattooing experience Ive ever had! Joe was SO friendly, very thorough, and was happy to chat with me during my time in his chair. My tattoo is perfect--not a line out of place. The tattoo has very deep meaning to me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart! I was also able to chat with Robert and the owner a bit. Everyone here is so nice, it felt like visiting old friends.The building and work areas were very clean. I could tell everyone here takes pride in what they do. 10/10 would recommend!

They got me in fast as a walk in but they used the wrong jewelry and it later got infected even though I was cleaning it 3 times a day like they said to do, not my fvorite place to go

Joe Thornton is a beast. 2 sessions so far on this cover up. Tell him I sent ya

The facility was very clean. The employee was patient and informative. The piercing was perfect. I have already recommended this place to friends.

Super clean shop, amazing artists.Ive seen Joe several times and am never disappointed!

Everything was amazing and professional. Definitely going back

I was having issues with an old piercing and they made time for me to come in to get help. Swapped out my jewelry and were very helpful! Thank you guys!

I walked in for my appt with literally nothing but an idea for my tattoo (no pics on my phone of tatt inspo or anything) and received an incredible, unique piece designed and inked by Joe. The other dudes at the shop were really chill and made the atmosphere really welcoming. I was in the chair for about 5 -6 hours so it was nice to be able to feel more like I was hanging out with everyone instead of just getting work done. I live about 2hrs away from the shop and will definitely be making the trip again when its time for more ink. The experience and the finished product was worth every penny and every hour spent there.

This place, seriously I have never felt more at home in a tattoo shop. Joe knew what he was doing, his knowledge and passion for tattooing is noticeable.Quinton is also extremely good with piercings and the knowledge he has for it is appreciated. The owner is also a super kind and genuine. I am very happy with our experience, and HIGHLY recommend these gentlemen for any tattoo or piercing.

Seriously guys if u need a tattoo go here u wont regret it clean, respectful, and John has talent like real talent. Best I know absolutely amazing.

So clean! Wow! Very nice people with great values and a consistent experience. Will be back!

One session down, one to go. John is amazing. Everyone is very friendly, place is clean, and great work is done here

John did an amazing job. Much better than expected. I will be back.

These guys are professionals and do great work

Exelente work!

Friendly service and atmosphere.

Showed up at 10pm and I thought they closed at 11pm but they closed at 10pm. The lady working the front took us in no problem. Very polite and the waitress was awesome. We had our food within 5 min. Food was real good

Great service. Great people. I will go back.

Got my first tattoo and the experience was awesome!!!! Am looking to get a piercing and another tat VERY soon!!!!!! Thanks you John M.!!!!!!

The is the spot to be at for all around quality work tattoos and piercings hands down. Ive had several tattoos done here and cover ups done. John and his staff are fantastic is all I can say! If youre a military vet in the area and are looking for camaraderie and just a great environment to get tattoos or piercings in. This is your place!

Did a great job on my husband, loved them, very professional will recommend them to everyone!

I’ve gotten piercings and tattoos here and they are by far the best shop I have been to. It is very well kept and clean inside and the staff are helpful and kind. The tattoos are done with a very light hand and barely scab at all, super straight lines and the ink is so solid you won’t need a touch up appointment. Piercings heal easily if you follow the directions. I have never had any problems, or heard of any at this shop. Would highly recommend to any one of my friends or family!

Just got my daughters nose pierced today from here. They were super friendly, fast, clean, and I will be coming back for more.

Great place, friendly staff, excellent work. Very clean work areaI would go back.

They have done most of my tattoos, always clean and friendly environment . Wont go anywhere else .

Got a tattoo by Joe. He did great. He has a light hand and is pretty quick

People are great and great prices for the work thank yall

Best tattoo establishment Ive ever been in! Talented, clean and professional. Already have an appointment for my next one.

My sister and I got our nose pierced yesterday and the guy did an amazing job! Recommended!

I just got a beautiful piece done by Joe. I absolutely love it. He took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted. Joe made sure it would work well for me and stand the test of time. I cannot give enough praise to him and all of resurrection ink.

This place is amazing. John is a master artist with an eye for color and design. And Robert was amazing, working fast to make a painful piercing as painless as possible. This is the only shop I trust with my body. Whether it be tattoos or piercings

My son is the best artist and its the cleanest shop Ive ever been in.

They are awesome, as always! My youngest daughter just got an industrial with Quentin and its beautiful! Joe is halfway through a Celtic tree of life for my other daughter and John re-worked one of my tattoos earlier in the year! Needless to say, we love Resurrection Ink! Wouldnt go anywhere else. Hospital clean/sterile, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Family friendly and everybody there has always treated us with the utmost courtesy and respect. Theyve gone out of their way to make my daughters feel comfortable. Do yourself a favor and go to Resurrection Ink!

Got my nose done here. Very clean environment. Well humored employees. Will be getting more piercings and tattoos done here from now on.

I get ear cartilage piercings here. The price is fair. It’s a small shop outside of Tyler. The staff all seem nice. I haven’t gotten any tattoos here. Some of the pics I’ve seen aren’t fantastic. So I think I will stick with piercings. The guy who does them is great! He’s sanitary, and does things right!

Robert did my daith piercing on both ears! Very easy to talk to and explained everything before he began!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND resurrection ink to anyone@ Im looking forward to going back!!!

Went in looking for a cover up artist and talked to Joe. I am very pleased with not only his work but also his easy going attitude. He was very helpful and has me looking forward to my next session. The shop was pristine and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend Resurrection Ink to anyone looking for quality workmanship.

Love them! John is amazing!

Just went there for a piercing and Robert was super nice and professional. Very clean place, they keep things sterile and play really cool music. Definitely reccomend!

Help me and wife pick out the wright tattoos made appointment now ready .just got to wait till next Friday.

I’ve had my nose pierced before and because of school i allowed it to close up. I went to resurrection ink and they pierced it very well! A lot less painful and this time no bleeding. Hopefully all goes well in the healing process.

AMAZING WORK!! Not only do they know what they’re doing, they know how to make you feel right at home. I have been twice now and plan on coming back for many more! Thank you Resurrection Ink for the magnificent art work!

The only place I come for my body piercings. Had my Lip, Cartilage, industrial, and recently my nose, done here. Only place I trust! Im a neat freak and I feel very at ease when I come get my piercings done. Recommend everyone to come here. Super friendly and very clean!

Resurrection Ink is, without a doubt, the premiere tattoo and piercing Salon in the entire region of East Texas.The ongoing commitment to excellence in customer service, superior level of professionalism, and completely unsurpassed levels of cleanliness and a very comfortable, laid back atmosphere makes this shop the best I have ever been to.Captain John-Phillip Mahfood, Shelby, & the rest of the staff at Resurrection Ink are all formally educated, expertly trained, and each come highly qualified with many years of experience in tattooing, piercing, and body mod. Their commitment to being the very best drives them both individually, and as a team, to continually learn more about the crafts, expand their knowledge, & provide the customer with the very best in cutting edge tattoo & piercing technology.This isnt your granddads tattoo shop on the waterfront somewhere... the world of tattooing has changed in the last 20 years, and Resurrection Ink is without a doubt right on the cutting edge of everything new and improved.Foremost in my mind when considering getting a tattoo is how clean the shop is. In the case of resurrection I can honestly say that the crew keeps the place so clean, and so well-maintained that I would put its standards up against those of any operating room in any surgical theatre of any hospital in the United States.The prices of tattoos and piercings at Resurrection are very competitive, very fair, and well worth the cost. John Philip only uses the very best of equipment, only purchases the highest quality inks in the world, and Resurrection Ink stocks a complete line of very high quality piercing jewelry. This shop does not cut corners, pinch pennies, or sacrifice quality to save a penny on supplies and merchandise. For resurrection ink only the best will do, because their view is only the best will do only the best will do for their customers.I have had 5 tattoos, to piercing, and have had 4 of my family members get their tattoos at Resurrection Ink. As a US Navy veteran I have been all over the world, and Resurrection Ink is my favorite shop of all.I highly recommend resurrection ink and her crew to anyone.

Joe tattooed the back of my calf I am beyond happy I was still contemplating my idea but he helped me get it onto paper and onto my skin. I am in love with the work he did and definitely will be going back for more.

First Id like to say wow. This is the first time weve been here and we will be back. We walked in and it just smelled clean. Just an awesome clean smell. Robert pierced my ears for me and due to failed attempts in the past years, which left major scarring, he asked me questions to make sure I got the best experience possible. Which I did. We will definately be back for more piercings and tattoos. Thank you Robert!Edit: Husband and I are getting a consultation on tattoos next week. Cant wait! Thanks guys!!!

Daughter turned 18 and wanted for her and I to get tattoos. This is the cleanest and most Professional Tattoo Shop. John is a truly amazing Artist. Thankful for resurrection of my tattoo and the perfection my Daughters tattoo.

Super friendly and professional service. Get all my piercings done here! Highly recommend!

This is the best place you could go for a tattoo or a piercing. Everything is clean and sterile while still giving a calm atmosphere.

Best experience iv ever had! Very clean place and friendly people that take the time out to listen and genuinely care. You feel welcome and there’s never a dull moment lolI went to several shops in east TX and walked out of everyone.. you want it done right the first time? I recommend this place. Drug free, Clean and family friendly. I guarantee you won’t find better!

I came here with my sister to get a few piercings. The place was very clean and Quentin did a great job with our piercings. Came back a few days later to get a bad tattoo fixed on my foot and the owner did a great job improving my foot tattoo. He was quick, pleasant and had a great attention to detail and cleanliness. He also offered lifetime touch ups on the tattoo if ever needed. Would definitely return when in the area again. Very military and kid friendly.

Ive been pierced and tatted from texas to cali to japan and havent seen a cleaner or more professional shop.

Great tattoos, great people

Super clean and very nice. Came in to get a tat with my husband and everyone we encountered was more than professional. Could my be more pleased. I wouldnt go anywhere else.Thanks again

The people was very nice and professional. i got a piercing and they were great in helping me understand the importance of keeping it clean and giving me a heads up on what to expect in the days to come.. thanks for the cleanliness bright and airy rooms. I would recommend to a friend.

Ive had two tattoos done over the years, and been witness to three additional as well as a nose piercing. John and the staff are fantastic. The shop is immaculately clean and everyone is professional. I would recommend Resurrection Ink to anyone within 200 miles.

My husband Jeremy and I went and got matching wrist tattoos from John and are extremely happy! Ressurection Ink is family friendly, we had to bring our boys with us since our sitter fell through and they were very accommodating! Also, it is probably the cleanest tattoo shop I have ever been in! We have definitely found our new tattoo home and would recommend them to anyone!

Very friendly. Took unscheduled time with me to speak to me about getting tattoo. Nice place. Made an appt to get my tat soon😁

Absolutely love this place. They do amazing work here & they are veterans. Hands down the best place to get a tattoo or piercing.

This place is amazing. I had Joe do my very first tattoo and he did amazing. The staff is so nice and its very clean.

Very professional, excellent communication, clean, attention to detail, we are planning our next visit.

Owner manager was awesome. Helped us out when having permanent piercing removed for employment.

Very clean, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

Great service, The artists that handled my new ink did a fantastic job. Thank you Joe

SO CLEAN 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Love this place!! Super clean. Very professional. And the nicest artists youll ever meet.

John was absolutely amazing! I had a bad previous experience and was very nervous about getting another tattoo. He talked me through everything that he was doing, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend him!

Best place around! Very clean and professional.

Q is wonderful. He did both of my daith piercings. The owner is so nice and laid back. He always ask how you are and chats with you when you come in.

John, Joe, & Q are so friendly & knowledgeable! They create a clean & enjoyable environment while piecing or tattooing. I would not go anywhere else!

My daughters have got tattoos and piercings here they do good work.

EVERYONE is sooooo friendly here! I got my nose pierced today and it was a little painful but I love it!!!! They explain everything throughly AND ARE VERY CLEAN!!😊☺👍👍

This place is extremely clean and the people are professional and kind! I had my eyebrow pierced a few months back and had no trouble with any sort of infection

Awesome group of people and a wonderful place to get a tattoo. Would definitely recommend!!

Love the respect and integrity these gentleman have
