Southern Lights Tattoo Company

Tony is hands down the most humble and friendliness artist you will meet. He did an amazing job on my first tatt and created exactly what I envisioned which takes talent and skill. His shop is super clean and his Playlist is fireee🔥. If your looking for a great realism artist dont sleep on Tony. Make an appointment

Very kind, my brother and I got our first tattoos and he made us feel welcome. Talked us through the process and did our tattoos exactly how we wanted them. Will definitely want to come back soon(Sorry for the account name, I cant log in to my other account lol)

I got a tongue piercing from them and they pierced it wrong. They punctured a nerve in my tongue and I had to get it removed. After trying to call them and give them updates they just started ignoring me, I asked for a refund through text but unfortunately I cant go up there because I actually live in Texas. Im going to add screenshots of the texts but watch out because there is a picture of my bleeding tongue in there.

Tony was very patient with me. I havent had a tattoo done in 25 years and so it was a whole new experience again.

Tony is insanely talented!! From the moment I walked in we instantly clicked, treated me as if we been friends/family for years. Hes pierced me multiple times and is working on a tattoo in celebration of my daughters birth. Im super stoked and cant wait to have a piece of his art on me

Didnt do very well, wasnt prepared at all. Pushed back the appointment an hour and was still not ready but the deposit is non refundable. had to wait for the artist to trace out both tattoos and do everything else to get ready which took almost another hour and he blamed his apprentice. My tattoo came out better than my girlfriends because it was all traced from an existing picture from the internet. The purpose was to cover up a small old tattoo, it did not so he had to quickly add in shading that makes little sense above the bird. my girlfriends tattoo came out pretty badly if you look at the girl or the books they arent drawn or shaded well. Not worth the money we spent, should have let him keep our 200$ in deposits. It would be better than having laughable tattoos.

They were both great! Tony is an awesome artist. He was able to give me the exact tattoo I wanted with friendly service. Def will be going back for second tattoo

Tony takes his time and is amazing! He did amazing work and made sure I was comfortable and had a say in everything he did. He was enthusiastic and made the environment so welcoming! Highly recommend!

Had a most excellent experience at this shop! For being out of towners, the Owner and our Artist Tony, made us feel like family. The art was perfect and exactly what we wanted. They accommodated our wants and needs and didnt make us feel like three silly girls, well 2 silly girls and 1 old lady, 😂!! I recommend them highly to all local people looking for body art and anyone from out of town looking for a rememberence Tattoo. Thank you to the entire staff!!!

Great customer service. I had two tattoos done by Tony. First was a redo on an existing one. It came out great. The second was had a last minute change. He was great at making the changes. Him and his son are the most friendly and respectful people I know

I had the best experience here today!!! I needed a fix on a small tattoo and Antonio did a wonderful job, I was a walk in. This shop is clean, orderly, had great music and a wonderful vibe!! I cant wait to go next Friday for my new tattoo and Antonio was excited to sketch it out!! So much enthusiasm, he is his fathers son!!

Tony and Antonio are awesome! Great individuals with great talent. They have tattooed myself, son, daughter and husband. We all love our tats. Clean, professional and listens to what we wanted.

Got my first tattoo done and they were AMAZING! Very patient and walked me through the whole process as I describe my dream tattoo of ultimate geekiness (truly a one of a kind piece of art). Tony didnt shy away from the challenge I had laid before him... I am challenging lol.... and drew me the perfect tattoo which was EXACTLY what I always wanted. The show was a clean and inviting atmosphere as I did my setting and I felt at ease the entire time. Thank you so much for making this a pleasant experience and I will not hesitate to recommend and to go again... I now have the tattoo bug.

I was stoked to get my nose pierced for the first time today; but nervous! Tony put me at ease with his wealth of information. He was super cool about making sure my piercing was where I wanted it and he let me know if it would jeopardize the type of rings ill be using. Not to mention the atmosphere of this shop made me feel super comfortable! In the very least, I thought I would have produced a tear but he was done SO fast I had no time to cry! Lol. Thanks so much, Dude! I just wish I could have tipped more!! Ill be back for sure!

Tony was great to work with. He is professional and takes pride in his shop. Its very clean and organized. He has a gentle hand - piercing didnt hurt one bit. I will be going back soon for some tattoo work too. Thanks Tony!

I will be returning and dedicating my full arm to tony on all future visits. The tattoo I got was beautiful. Tony added his own creativity and spin to my overall vision of what I wanted and it turned out amazing. Shop was very clean, I felt disinfecting was top priority during this pandemic. The entire team was very dedicated and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Highly recommend, they’ve earned a customer for life.

Very highly recommended! Just got my first tattoo today, and Im SO happy that it was here. Tony & his wife did nothing but welcome me, answer all my questions, and make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Fantastic artistry by Tony!! Im in love with the end result, and couldnt have been treated any better! Top notch shop, dont go anywhere else!

I will definitely be coming back!! Friendly staff, extremely clean shop. Came in for a piercing and he was so nice and walked me through the whole process. Came from Roswell to have the piercing done and was not disappointed. He takes his time and makes sure it is done right. Loved the atmosphere of the shop. Now I want to book for a few tattoos!! Thank you!!!!

Great experience! Came in as a walk in (3 of us). Tony was so patient as we drew and redrew the tattoo designs until we got it just right. Shop is very clean. Pricing was fair. Staff was great. Love the way our tattoos came out! Will be going back! Highly recommend!

Edit: I brought longer bars in and Tony swapped them out for me. :)Piercings were done well, and at a reasonable price, but the longest bars they kept in stock were still way too short for my fresh dahlia piercings. Longer bars to accommodate swelling are (almost always) necessary, and definitely needed in my case, and I was disappointed and frankly surprised that they didn’t carry longer bars.

Great experience, was nervous about getting my septum done, but the secretary and the piercer made it an excellent experience. Was very clean and thorough in directions for aftercare. Also explained everything he was doing in a pleasant manner. My friend and I will definitely be back.

BEWARE DON’T GO HERE!!! So I went with a friend to get jewelry changed in fresh piercings and noticed some things that absolutely need to be said not only were the initial piercings done with bars entirely too short due to him not stocking proper sizes he went ahead and pierced them anyway rather than asking to reschedule to do things properly. Strike one. When I went with my friend longer bars were provided to accommodate for the swelling not by the shop but by the customer. Strike two. Last but most importantly before he would change jewelry out he insisted that the review my friend posted get changed in essence holding proper work hostage for an improved review online. Strike three. If you ask me he is the epitome of unprofessional and puts customers at risk of complications due to what I assume is the desire to make money right now rather than perform proper quality work if you are thinking of getting a piercing I highly recommend going absolutely anywhere but here.

Had a great experience! Did a walk in, and they were able to fit my friend and I within an hour to get matching tattoos. Turned out beautiful. Thanks!

Tony is the worst tattoo artist I have ever met. He cares more about his own ego than he does about his clients. He will do his own version of tattoo and not consider your own vision. The photo is of his tattoo one year later. My skin is still raised. Go to El PASO for ink. Do not settle for this garbage.

I went in Wednesday only planning to look at cost, and was pleased at the cost not too expensive, I also ended up getting my tattoo then thanks to them fitting me in and Im very pleased with it.Employees are friendly, the parlor is clean, and my artist made sure we were on the same page for everything before he started. Will definitely go here for my future tattoo needs(Edited 2020-11-16 for spelling)

My 18th birthday is memorable because of bringing my wonders to life .He accepted my ideas with an understanding of what I imagined. This tattoo shop is my go to place . very clean and the energy in this place is wonderful . Tony has done 2 of my tattoos and I dont regret the money I spent and the time needed for these experiences . Will be going back !!

Honestly the best work Ive seen around town in a very long time. Our experience was awesome, we felt very comfortable with Tony and I think his business needs to be out there more. Definitely spreading the word on a true artist.

Tony did an amazing job on my tattoo. Reasonably priced, dedicated to making your experience amazing and making sure you are happy with your tattoos. Highly recommend coming here for your next tattoo, i know Ill be back.

Great experience. We had a group and it was awesome that we had the place to ourselves. Great artists here. Great customer service. Good pricing. Definitely worth it. Highly recommend. He truly cares about what you want and the art. Great technique. Clean. Post tattoo only left with the feeling of a sunburn and then today 100% better. Want a tattoo? Come here. Thanks guys. Appreciate it!

The best place to get a tattoo! Tony treats you like family, is insanely talented, and explains everything. 10/10 and would recommend for anyone who struggles with anxiety or is neurodivergent.

Tony is very compassionate about his work, not only will he dedicate as much time as needed to perfect the design but also the placement. He is so friendly and I highly recommend him!

Both Antonio and Tony were great! They were flexible, patient, and the tattoo came out perfect!

Went in for a quote and they fit me in same day.. I appreciate them doing a consultation first.. Price was fair, place was very clean and professional. My artist took his time and explained everything to me from start to finish.. I would definitely go back.

So I went here to get my septum pierced and I’ve never has such a great experience as this one. The staff was very welcoming and it was very clean! The piercer was so nice and amazing at his job! 10/10 will be going back ASAP!!!

I Got my Tattoo from here and it was an amazing first time Tattoo experience. I got a scorpion with the word DAD between its claws in honor of my Dads passing. While i was getting it done i felt like my dad was staring down at me smiling and saying Im Proud of You Son. Thank you to the Southern Lights artists for giving me an awesome Tattoo.

; Semicolon tattoos have been extremely important to me for the past few years. I approached Tony with my idea of turning a sea shell and a mermaid tail into a semicolon for me. Not only did he capture exactly what I was looking for he took the gravity of my situation into consideration. I could not ask for a better way to symbolize my journey through this life. Thank you Southern Lights 🖤

Very very friendly, quality work, enthusiastic about his work, clean workplace, and cooperative in ensuring I got the tatoo that I wanted not what the artist wanted while also providing advice based on his experience as a tatoo artist.Ps. The one star reviews appears to be left by rival tattoo parlor. They only have two reviews. One rated southern lights one star but rated a different parlor in town five.

Awesome experience! Everyone was super friendly and down to earth. VERY clean and professional. They took their time with my husband and mines tattoos and it didnt cost us an arm and a leg! So glad we found this place. #NoRegerts

Not my first tattoo, but my first tattoo from Tony. Enjoyed meeting him and his family and will be back in the future. I came in with my own design but he customized it a little and it turned out really cool.

Got my second tattoo done by Tony today! Amazing experience, clean professional shop, and great pricing! 10/10 will be coming back

Amazing service ! I got my ears pierced he was very precise and was great to talk to ! Whenever I decide to get a tattoo if I’m still in New Mexico I will be coming here ! Very professional !

The owner took his time and made sure the job he did was absolutly perfect!! Super friendly, price was great and customer service was wonderful and professional. Thank you so much, had an amazing experience!!Alaska :)

Tony covered up some really trashy art that I did on myself years ago and the result is absolutely amazing! I couldn’t be happier with the results!! I didn’t have a before picture but the after picture is more important. Thanks Tony!!

Absolutely love going to this shop!! It’s clean and They are super friendly and make you feel right at home. They are very honest and do great quality work!! I have been for a fixer and fresh skin and I will be back for more so happy with the work they have done!!!

Awesome tattoo artist. I took in a couple of concepts and they came out better than I envisioned. The studio is super clean and his wife is cute as a button. I will be back.

Great people great work, by far my best experience in a tattoo shop. Tattoo came out better than I expected after the artist redesigned it. Very fair price.

Not a review but I have a few questions. So on the website it says that you guys do peircings. is that true and are you lisenced and professional? I want to get a rook peircing on my ear and Im looking for a new piercer. Also can a minor get pierced without a parent present for a ear or cartilage piercing or does a parent need to be present? Thanks

Took his time and allowed me to pick placement and font. He wanted to ensure I liked it before we started. Super lighthanded and was able to squeeze me in. Will definitely be going back

I went in and had Tony fix a home tattoo for me and he did an OUTSTANDING job!!! I love what he did, I will definitely come back for my last tattoo 😉❤

Got my first tattoo from here and will definitely go back for more in the future. Great artist who cares about his clients and does awesome work!

Asked for a walk in for me and my wife - ended up getting me in immediately - great pricing for the amount of work they do - awesome family owned shop with great people - will totally be back

Tony is very professional, his shop is super clean, and his work is great! Ill definitely be getting more work done there!

Extremely clean! Very professional also. This guy’s got a lot of talent. He explained every step of the process to me and told me what to expect.

I freaking L O V E this shop! Tony is super attentive and his eye for detail makes all his work amazing. This is the only shop Ill go to in New Mexico.

Got my septum done yesterday and it was a great experience! Definitely will be going back! 🖤

Thank you for my awesome tattoo I love it, it’s one of the best tattoos I’ve ever gotten

Got lucky with the timing. Thanks for the three piercings! Also appreciate you taking the time to explain the sizes and recommending what would be best.

Went in at 12:00 and told us to come back at 3:00 with cash. They had a tattoo at 12 so we came back at 3:00 they told us to they can’t do it because we didn’t haven’t have a mask (didn’t tell us the first time) and they haven’t started on the first appointment! I had already pulled money out but they still wouldn’t let us cause we didn’t have a mask. Told us it was the “law”

Super friendly staff and an awesome Friday the 13th tattoo. Ive been craving some new ink and this shop didnt disappoint, thanks yall!!!

Tony and Adina are amazing people known then for over 20 years. Shop is spotless and amazing. Stop by!!!!!!!

Southern Light Tattoo Co. staff is awesome— Tony was thorough, detailed and the art turned out great!

Very gentle touch. Best tattoo experience I have had. Wonderful sense of humor.

Might as well let your 5 year old tattoo you with a home made gun. The worst licensed tattoo shop owner in the state. Just a joke.

Awesome experience. Really brought out the idea from my head and worked to collaborate together with what would work and look good.

Got All Three Of My Tattoo’s From Him Can’t Express How Much I Love Them Definitely Not Going Anywere Else ...Will Be Coming Back For More !!
