i45ink & Piercings

Jonny did an amazing job on my tattoo. Messaged him, he told me what time to come by, came by, he drew it up, and got to work. In my opinion, I was charged a very reasonable price, for a high quality tattoo. All of which was agreed on before even starting the tattoo. I also ended up adding a 1989 tattoo which he did after finishing my first one. He took one smoke break before shading, and did the shading in one sitting. Will definitely be back again to get the rest of my forearm done. All of the staff was awesome even with people walking in wanting tattoos on the spot. Place was clean, certain smells dont bother me like other reviews state, but place smelled cleaned also. If my tattoo artist has to smoke a joint before doing my tattoo for him to be comfortable for the next few hours, then so be it lol dont let that discourage you from getting a high quality tattoo by one of these guys. Thank you Jonny I really appreciate it.

I’ve been to a few tattoo places but this one goes beyond my expectations!!! The staff is great and they have tons of art and designs to choose from. They practice strict sanitation policies to ensure a safe, clean, comfortable environment and to put your mind at ease about germs and infections. My husband and I just went in for simple matching tattoos but the service was quick and professional. We will definitely be going back!

Went here for my first tattoo, Eddie is very chilled and a talented artist, the environment and vibe here is overall chill and Im going to be coming back for more tats. Responsibly priced, highly recommend2022 Update, Ive gotten 3 Tattoos from here, Eddie is the G, great artist and piercer. This is my go to tattoo place highly recommend

Got a couple piercings by Eddies and it was a great experience! Would definitely recommend

I love my tattoo. I only gave it 4 stars because I want to go back for another and see if they do just as amazing! Jon did me and my boyfriend tatts. It’s still healing.

My tattoo was done by Shean. Great price no wait and Shean was really nice and very professional. Everyone was real chill and I love the energy that was in the place. Pisces- Aries Cusp Tattoo.

I came here to get matching tattoos with my husband and Eddie was amazing I have anxiety and he was really gentle and he made me feel comfortable the tattoos cameOut awesome

Something for everyone. Wide variety of offerings

Edie did an amazing job doing my ear piercing, very polite very light hand person will totally go back to this place and totally recomendable

I went yesterday after work to get my tongue re-pierced(snake eyes)…I think his name was Chris….he was BEYOND PROFESSIONAL AND QUICK WITH THE PROCESS…piercing doesn’t even hurt…just bled a little bit but I absolutely love it..WILL MOST DEFINITELY GO BACK THERE IN THE FUTURE‼️‼️

I went yesterday as a walk-in for a septum piercing for my daughter. The woman who did them was very nice and professional. Everything was clean and sterile, she made my daughter and I feel very comfortable. I went ahead and got a piercing as well, I would definitely come back for any future piercings.

Empty compared to You pick it we stick it. Went with my sister in law to get our second ear piercing, was ridiculously fast and clean. It did though smell like weed, customer service was eh and the cost for the piercing was $30 (each) with a $2 fee. Would I recommend it? If you want to be in and out for a piercing, then yes but if you want something fancy that smells like vanilla fragrance or whatever you like then no. Overall my experience wasnt a bad one and the lady who pierced our ears answered all our questions.

Great place, very cool people and friendly too.Got me and a friend pierced very fast and professionally, Eddie was the guy who helped us out so thank you if your reading this. Will definitely be coming back for future work

Everyone that works in the shop are very professional , the piercer was very kind and gentle took my daughter to get her ears pierced she did not cry or flinch best decision I ever made to go here. The woman had her own room to pierce it was very cute and clean , the tattoo artist where very kind I wish they where more active on social media to see there work.

Eddie did a great job with my ear piercing! From the moment I walked in, he was professional, courteous, and hygienic. I would highly recommend this location for all your piercing needs! No wait time!

Niecy did a great job on my industrial piercing Clean & Easy!! Gave me instructions on how to keep it clean and other details! Would definitely recommend her for your piercing needs! Cruz also did mine and my boyfriends tattoo. Would definitely recommend him as well. Gave us exactly what we wanted! Can’t wait to go back!

Ive been a customer there for 5+ years and always walked away satisfied. The quality of the work has always been great and customer service also. But for some reason tonight that changed. As I was pulling up front I seen a Hispanic gentleman come to the door. I assumed he just responded to my headlights and checked to see if it was a customer. I walked to the door and seen a few people standing there. As I pulled the door it was locked. So I waved towards him and he proceeded to act like he didnt see me. The people at the desk motioned towards him I was still there. The time was about 10:00p. He approached the glass and made a cut motion across his neck that they were closed. So I then motioned pointing at the hours posted on the door. Open til 2:00a. He threw his arms up like he didnt care. So at that point I told him through the glass Ive been coming here for years and they were about to lose a customer. I get many compliments on my tattoos all the time and always referred people there. So Im writing this because closed or not thats horrible customer service. And why post hours til 2:00a? When it should say we close whenever we want and dont have to explain anything? Out of decency he couldve open the door and spoke to me instead of brushing me off like Im nobody or someone who wanted to spend there time and money in the establishment. I hope this review gets to the owner and I get a reply. Until then I will not spend my hard earned money there or refer anyone ever again. Thanks. God bless

Hands down best tattoo shop there is! Amazing atmosphere, great quality work from tattoo artists to piercer. Their piercer Niecy is hands down the best Ive ever had and i been through a few. Sweetest person, fast and her work is just amazing! Great quality piercing guaranteed from her.

I normally don’t do reviews but I went in tonight for a double nose piercing and it was done by Eddy.He was very professional and really nice I told him even though I had my nose pierced before I was still scared of needles.he told me he would get it done quick and he did .I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family thank you eddy I love my new piercings

A little pricey but the staff is very nice and its very clean. for some reason I want to see a guy named Jeremy did my tattoo and he did a great job just charged a bit much for what was done. The artist was also very cool he didnt talk too much and he didnt talk too little.

They were kinda pricey, and only took cash butttt our piercer Eddie was super informative, super nice, everything was sterilized and clean and made the process super easy! Definitely will be coming again…. With more cash….

Eddie is a true professional. He has done 4 if my tattoos already and has 1 more to go and some shading to do at a reasonable price. The rest of the staff have made me feel very welcome. I feel like a part of the family. They are very knowledgable and very articulate. I highly recommend getting your tattoos there. I got 4 tattoos in the past month and look forward to finishing my story on my back, chest and arms through the ink of Eddies art.

Overall very quick, and clean. Called 5 minutes before to ask for a wait time. Told me to come right in and boom it was done. Honestly might come back to get more piercings later on

I love it here , John I believe his name was made me feel very comfortable. He made sure everything was right where I wanted . They all good from the work I’ve seen, all in all everything was straight . No Problems here ! I will be back ! It smell like weed a lil bit but it didn’t bother me at all cause hell I smoke 🤷🏽‍♀️ Thank you !!! Very very professional!!

3 out of the 4 piercings I have were done here. The lady who pierces them is super nice and makes sure you’re comfortable and happy with what she’s doing. I’m not goin anywhere else for piercings for sure :) Every now and then there’s deals for return customers too, definitely worth going to

I came here to get a tattoo and it came out amazing. Vince was my artist today, and i will be coming back to him for more tattoos. He is incredibly talented, and he knows how to draw anything. I had been to a few shops before i came here, i didnt like the art or ideas the other shops came up with. These guys gave me exactly what i was looking for. Good customer service, good respect and attention and Not expensive either. I love my tattoo.

I love this place. They have a dancing parrot which was very entertaining and a pool table. Messed around with both to pass time. I had gotten a tattoo on my thigh by Buzz and he’s bad ass!! Although he had never done anything like it, he did very good with the detailing. For me, the pricing was perfect and affordable 🤷🏾‍♀️ Been recommending people here since then. Thanks buzz 😬😬

Got my first tattoo done today by Eddie I think ( short term memory loss ) lol it felt like such a quick and easy process! Its so beautiful will totally be coming back. Ive always felt out of place at you pick it we stick it but here at the shop you guys never turn me away or say you cant do something unlike everytime I went there. Amazing service, affordable prices and such a peaceful relaxing area this might just be my go to place for piercings and tattoos 💓

I had a great experience at this shop. After a place in Webster quoted me $150 for a small script tattoo, I came here and got 2 small tats for $70. Knowledgeable service. Friendly. Patient. Clean. Ill definitely be coming here for all the rest of my tats.

Have been to 45 ink on several occasions. I love the atmosphere and the artists are very talented. The tattoos are of very high quality and reasonably priced. We love them so much that even my great aunt went to go get her first tattoo here and shes in her 60s! To the ppl that have negative reviews all I can say is the customer is always a customer Not everyone will be happy with what they have and prefer to hate! Will keep going till the day I die! For sure a keeper, found my place.

They first pierced my lip and it was that bad. Kinda busy but the over all customer service was great. They take cashapp as well the prices arent that bad too. Clean shop and good service.

Eddie did my first tattoo and it was a great experience. very chill and let me take breaks when i needed it! great dude, great shop atmosphere and my tattoo looks amazing! will be returning 100%

Went here on Saturday and got some piercings ! The atmosphere was amazing and Niecy did a great job she informed me of why she was doing a certain gauge aftercare and what to and not to do ! All the girls there made me and my friend laugh and have a good time ! I will definitely be coming back for more piercings and maybe a tattoo !

I came here because they had good reviews. I got my rook pierced by a lady idk her name but she wasn’t wearing a mask and she was sniffling and she was all up on me felt like she was having a hard time putting in the jewelry for my rook because the piercing did hurt. she ended up hurting my tragus piercing. She didn’t even clean the blood up either but the rook was at the correct spot. I felt like I could’ve gotten it somewhere else where it would’ve been less painful. To the response of the owner: no you did not clean it properly, 2 it WAS bleeding from the rook and tragus, I got tragus done last month, and yes I WAS happy of the placement of the rook. You said nothing about one person at a time. Thank you.

I was able to walk in last night, i was greeted the moment i walked in. Hands down this place is one of the best tattoo shops ive been to. The service was fast, great prices, Eddy my tattoo guy knew exactly what i was talking about very clean and many more great things to say. If you want a great tattoo at a great price this is the place to go. Js!! Thank you Mr. Eddy my tatt came out perfect 👌

Went in to get my wifes nose peirced and a monroe. They were pretty busy on tattoos, but were still able to get us in and out in 30mins or less. Work was good, staff was friendly, wife is happy... All good.

The place is clean and friendly, staff is pretty chill and really welcoming! I really recommend this place, they take their time and make sure everything is right and they you’re satisfied with the work! Big thanks to my boy jojo! He did a hell of a job! I would honestly recommend him if you all wanna get something inked!

Place is not as clean as it should be and piercer does not necessarily have all the required jewelry. Clearly by the response they don’t have basic understanding of customer service to attack someone on a baseless and pretty stupid claim considering the best thing about the place is the cheap jewelry and prices.Will not return

I received a name tattoo from a guy that’s sitting all the way to the back wall on the rght side. It’s like my tattoo hasn’t healed yet & can’t even see my deceased niece name it should say Rubiena but it’s a scar

The customer services were awkward 😂Me and my mum came in and it felt empty. We saw no one other than a guy giving a tattoo and we were just standing there for a little until a guy came and asked for what I wanted. Overall I got my nose stud for 20$ and im happy with it.

Me and a friend went here to get our belly buttons done. When we walk in there’s 3 kids running around. We tell them what we wanted and the piercing dude said to give him 15 minutes. So we did. We waited 40 minutes and it turned out we were waiting so he was sleeping on the couch with a new born baby, so we got tired of waiting and just left. On top of that the bathroom has 2 stalls. One is for guys and one is for women. Not the cleanest place either.

Good customer service Eddie took care of me I love my tattoo

Came here once to get my philtrum pierced aka medusa and they were having a party outside with beers and ladies and whatnot. When I met the piercer I instantly got a bad feeling, yet I went through and let him go for it. He seemed drunk or high on drugs and I asked him if he had done either or to see if he would be honest and I couldve just simply left. Yet he continued with me and said he could assure me he wasnt drunk or high. I paid him and he took me to his area and I had to do my own placement because he kept getting it wrong. Once I chose, he stuck the needle through and couldnt get the jewelry in. He kept forcing the jewelry in and then I started to bleed a lot. This was my bad for not listening to my gut feeling, but he couldve been honest as well. Overall at least he paid me back my money, but will never go back here. The place also had a terrible smell.

Don’t go way overpriced ripped me off . Got a tattoo behind my ear by some older white guy with a beard lot of tattoos. The tattoo was a small thin basic cross behind my ear he charged me $70 bucks I didn’t want to pay it wasn’t my first tattoo i knew that was way over priced. I was like maybe after imma ask again what’s the price see what he says . After the tattoo I asked how much “$50 wait sorry $70” he said I was like $50 sounds like a better price I went in with 2 girlfriends and there tattoos where way bigger only paid $100 and $150 when that was a rip off to way overpriced as well! I paid $70 for a small tattoo the size of 1inch the guys there over charged all three of us and reason why was because we are females ! Think we didn’t know better when excuse me we did it was 2-3 am and every where else was packed go to southern boys or matter of fact hit up INK TATOO AND ASK FOR CRYSTAL !

The lady who pierced my nipples did a great job! She took care of them quick and easy. After I got them done my friend and I played some pool, you cant do that at many shops.

I got my septum pierced somewhere else and it was really messed up !! I came in asking for advice and they made me feel comfortable and not like I messed up and Lilly took it out and repierced it and made me feel right at home !! Love this place

Got my first tattoo here on March 24, 2018. My artist was Eddie and he was awesome!! The price was very reasonable and the place was very chill and relaxing!! Definitely making my way back soon!!!

Came in to get my nose pierced. It was very quick and easy. Not as sanitized as a tattoo shop should be but the items were sanitized when I went in the room. Also it is cash only but some artist accept cash app.

My little girl who is 4 months old recently got her ears pierced and the piercer and tattoo artist made me feel completely comfortable and calm in the process. The piercer was extremely patient and sweet with my little girl.

Amazing work very patient and the easiest tattoo Ive had in a while didnt grind me up straight smooth where I got it at isnt the easiest spot either but felt good enough to me i highly recommend this place if you are looking for a tattoo.. ill definitely be back again...appreciate it yall treated me well ...

Clean place, good atmosphere, great service. They make sure you leave the shop satisfied. If youre looking for a free handed tatt Eddie is your guy.

Great Pleace !! Niecy Does Awesome Piercings Also Got 3 nice Tatts From Different Guys And Man There Prices Are SO worth It Keep Up The Good Work Guys !! They Close At 12 Am As Of Now Bc Of Cocid call before yall take the trip over there

Eddie turned a tattoo I hated into a tattoo I love . 6-7 hours. He was cool the whole rime . Highly recommend

I love this place! Shaun did my tattoo and he was very professional and really quick and it came out beautifully! I love his honesty and work!! go see him!

I walked in and basically had to scream to get someones attention. The smell of weed was a slap to the face, the workers were obviously high and werent paying attention to any of the customers, I walked right back out , will not be recommending or returning to this place.

In my opinion, I-45 ink has to be one of the best shops in Houston, and I will tell you why.I-45 ink has...*A Cool, Clean, Chill and Welcoming Atmosphere.*Highly Experienced Male and Female Piercers*Highly Talented and Self Motivated Artists that are Passionate about their work.*Quality Machines, Hardware and Materials ( no one here uses a $5 tattoo gun, or a cheap tattoo kit they bought from china on ebay)*Photoshop CS6 ( for customizing and planning out tattoos )*An Excellent and Comfortable waiting area. Direct TV, Pool Tables, etc.*Friendly, Respectful, and Helpful staff.*and much more...Personally, as a tattoo artist, I believe the most important part of my job is customer satisfaction, cleanliness and safety. We put 100% into every tattoo, because, #1 Its what YOU deserve, but (for us) its another great tattoo to add to our portfolios, which is the root to advancing our careers as professional tattoo artists.We hope to see you soon. :)

Shady business! They tell you one price then charge another once its done. Why overpriced! I wish I never came here. The guy messed up my tattoo even though he printed it out. I dont see how you can mess that one up. He also didnt have us sign any papers. Very unprofessional artists. Dont go here!!

Loved my new piercings :) will come again

Very professional, good prices, solid work. My tattoo took awhile and it was closing time but he didnt rush to finish. Took his time and left me with an excellent piece.

The service was impeccable me and my fiance went in and got our noses pierced and the atmosphere was very chill and the staff was awesome and totally courteous . Will definitely be back to spend some more of my dough

They are okay. Got small tattoos from there nothing major. In my opinion this is a good spot for simple tattoos. Nothing to detailed. Service is okay. Its overall okay again in my opinion.

I have 8 tattoos now and all done by 45 INK. THATS THE SPOT and anyone of the artist there can get down . Big respects to Sean(older)for his great work!

Way over priced ! Smh1 week update and my tattoo looks okay they Over lined it making it look like it’s smudged. Now I gotta go to another shop have it fixed and pay more for a $100 dollar tattoo.

Cruz is awesome!! He has done 3 tatts so far and im never disappointed!! Cant wait to do more!

Cassandra Verretts work is very amateur. Im very disappointed with the outcome and will be doing a touch up elsewhere. I dont recommend this place. Its no wonder this place has so many bad reviews. Also this place has roaches.

Definitely an icon of the community. Aside from being the biggest tattoo shop in Houston, the highly skilled artists, and environment create an atmosphere that enables ones tattoo fantasies to become a reality in Ink. Monthly events include anything from benefits, art shows and fundraisers for the community.

Great place! Reasonably price. In and out less than 20 minutes for piercings! Thanks Eddie!

Great place to get any piercings you want as long as you call before hand to make sure the available person is there.

Great staff. Very friendly and funny while still being professional! Got my septum done here and it was cheap and fast

Did my nose piercing here and I love it! Does anyone know what size to pierce the nose they use? Example: 18G?20G?

Got my first tattoo here and it was horrible when I went back to get it fixed the guy messed it up even more the lips I wanted ended up looking like a huge scar its embarrassing and I would never recommend them to anyone. They are over priced.

Just got my nose pierced! I love it great customer service! I was in and out in no time ! I will definitely be back !

This place closed on hours is supposed to be open. I get it with this covid bs going on but they can at least update their hours on here or on their business door. Drove out here and place closed on hours the should be open and no noticed on what hours theyll be operating now or if they even open at all. Phone and website is down so cant contact nobody. Smh.

Jonny is awesome !! flexible stayed after for us twice

Super happy with my piece, took a little over an hour, Eddie was my artist. Chill atmosphere.

Absolutely loved it!! Next time u get a piercing ask for Nissy, girl has the best hands!

The guy who does the peircings is so nice and very helpful. I took my daughter twice so far and we love that place.

Meet my expectations, very happy with my tattoo! Environment is friendly, clean and I would highly recommend.

Great artists on Deck with the hottest hands the piercing lady is awesome shes friendly and helpful you can bring your kids here

Very welcoming n comfortable...I love my snake eye piercing 100% recommend very informative and quick ..

I went to get a medusa here and the lady that did it poke a hole first then repose it and now that is heal my piercing is side ways will not recommend this spot

Very bad experience with getting a piercing ... piercer was high and he put a very tight bar on my snakes bites resulting in really bad swollen lip... and its bruised on the inside . Never again will I go there

A great place I must say my artist was fast and his work is awesome..I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

I love this place they were quick with my piercing and ver friendly and knew what they where doing

It was awesome 👌my daughter got her nose peirced and they did a great job!!!

I will definitely be going back I love my tattoo I got my snake eyes their too going back for my second piercing 5 stars

They did not ID me. Did the piercing and rushed me out. The piercers boyfriend asked are you done, which was a rush to get me out. Social distance not, there was so many people inside.

Do not get a piercing here. She doesn’t know what she’s doing.

The guy did amazing. I love my art piece. Will definitely be going back for sure.

My name is kaylen and Cleo did a beautiful cover up for me turned trash in to treasure I highly recommend this place I walked in and felt at home ..thank you Cleo and good luck home in the future Ill see you soon B-)

I will recommend this place to everyone. Second tattoo from there

Got a great price on what was done and for the size. Shawn took his time and made sure every detail was as it should be .

Great place recommen... had not to wait to long to get a piercing myself and 3 other friends

Went to get a piercing, the dude i spoke to was sketchy as could be and couldnt even remember where he was supposed to be piercing me. I got out of there quick.

Absolutely great! Very quick and nicely done. Will definitely be back again!

Amazing and quick, professional piercing service! Eddies the best!

Great prices for piercings. Clean area and clean equipment. Was a good experience overall.

I walked in to get a nose ring and it smell horrible!! A lady was sleeping on the couch , two bird cages, and I saw a roach crawling on the food they had out by the counter area!!! Nasty!!!

Love Niecy! She’s the best piercer!!! Great service, highly recommend :)

The atmosphere is changing for the better I hear a fast lift is coming to the place.E and Niecy are great hosts.

Professional experience! Great artist. Big E is the best!

ITS VERY CLEAN AND THE WORKERS NICE I JUST GOT A PIERCING FROM THEM AND IT WAS FAST I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO COME HERE

My friends and I caught an Uber to the tatto shop, and they werent open. Very upset. Raining out. Online it didnt say they were closed!!

Too expensive and dont do the work exactly the way u tell them to do it. Dont recommend going here unless u want to be scared for life by money hungry people.

Good ass tats done by Vince, does color tattoos that are phenominal! Definitely recommend!

Great service. The owner did a great job on my tattoo
