Went in for a tattoo and belly button piercing, the tattoo part was great. Though when i got my belly button pierced i can’t remember the name of the piercer, but the she was super rushed didn’t ask if the markings were okay or not before she just went ahead and pierced it. Unfortunately it’s kinda crooked. But the tattoo artist Red did great.(add on) it has been a week now since I’ve had my bellybutton pierced and my bellybutton ring is fake and to my knowledge any new sternum piercing are meant to have a surgical steel, This one is clearly not and it is turning my bellybutton green It’s turning infected mind you i have been cleaning my piercing properly…I will be calling tomorrow to be getting my money back. any well skilled piercer would know this is not okay
I got my ears pierced by Ashley! She was very nice and professional. The process is easy and quick! It didn’t hurt she was very nice and sweet I would 100% recommend :)
I loved going here, Angela & Dez are very funny & have great customer service. I loved my tatttoo & would highly recommend going here !!
DO NOT GO HERE. My tattoo is absolutely horrible, of course it hurt and I would flinch occasionally, but that SHOULD NOT excuse the fact that there are missing pieces from the tattoo, it’s crooked, and THE WRONG PARTS WERE FILLED IN BLACK. I will never go here again. Angela absolutely ruined my tattoo. Allowing people to come back there and show her photos on their phone, stopping my tattoo to pierce some girls who walked in, not paying attention, etc. Then when I went in there to talk about the issues with my tattoo, it’s like they blamed it all on me. This place is terrible and I just wish I could get my money back and my skin cut off.
Angela is the best and most welcoming tattoo & piecing artist I have ever met. She made my experience the first time so fun that I had to come back a second time trust and believe I will be stopping by more often to get my tattoo and piercing done by her
This review is not about the artist. I had a morning appointment with an artist I’ve gotten multiple pieces done from over the past year, but when I arrived at the shop, the locks had been changed and my artist wasn’t informed, therefore, we couldn’t go in. We were standing outside for around 2 hours before Angela came and let us in. Once we were inside, Angela proceeded to yell and berate the artist right in front of me instead of respectfully speaking to him in private. She also stated that she’s “not obligated to come in before 12”. It was incredibly unprofessional and I hope she reserves those kinds of talks to be had in private from now on instead of causing a scene in front of a client.
Pops did a phenomenal job to cover up my old tattoo. Very understanding, patient, and knowledgeable. He also reached back out to check up on the tattoo. Pops is a beyond a great tattoo artist! If I can do it all over again I would! Definitely, will be going back for some more cover ups. Awesome experience!
I just got three new piercings there and I had an amazing experience. The prices are great and the staff is both professional and very personable! I was super comfortable around the piercer Angela and the piercing apprentice whose name Im unfortunately forgetting, but she was awesome as well. HIGHLY recommend
Went to Angela to get my septum pierced last year, I had a wonderful experience and it healed amazing!! I also took my mom to get her eyebrow repierced, it had already rejected twice before when we had gone other places so we were really worried about doing it a third time but Angela redid it and gave my mom special care instructions and it healed amazing! My husband and brother in law have both also had their lobes pierced by Angela and those looked and healed awesome. We went today to get my friends bridge and nipples pierced, and I also got my third hole on my lobes. I just keep going back for more because I feel so welcomed and comfortable. Ive had a tattoo done here before as well, Pops is the best. I love Cats, by far my favorite shop. Love yall!!
I got my septum piercing with Angela Robinson and I am so happy with the how the entire process went and the piercing looks great! My niece also got her piercing here so I already felt comfortable she had a great experience also. Everyone is kind and process was quick but also thorough with the process and aftercare stepsThank you all!!Janice
Pops, is hands down one of the best tattoo artist in Texas. He has the ability to work with your ideas and turn it into something beautiful and doesn’t mind tweaking it to better suit your body. I could rave forever on Pops and the organization as a whole, the whole team is friendly and family like. Highly recommend going if your looking into an amazing place for your first tattoo or wanting an excellent piece in general.
The heavy set man is so rude. He wanted me to pay $100 for a name tattoo (6 letters) at the time he did not know i already have over 9 tattoos so i feel like he thought he was going to get over on me not knowing I’m pretty aware of how pricing a tattoo works. And then AS he is tattooing me, he keeps bringing up how $100 is not bad and how i should’ve just paid the $100 THE WHOLE 15 MINUTES it took for him to tattoo me. I will never be back to this place, horrible customer service and i felt so out of place.
I’ve gotten several tattoos done by Pops. Everyone at the shop is very professional. Pops work is phenomenal and heals really nicely and I would recommend him to anyone
Heard about them thru some friends. And I was told about the valentines special so I decided to go. I’ve been wanting to get my ears filled and tell whoever to go crazy with it and mrs. Angelia did exactly that. She was very understanding with me having to leave mid- appointment to take my friend to work but when I came back it was a breeze. I clenched onto little chucky and go thru it granted we only did one ear today. I love the way my ear came out. The only pre existing piercings I had are my 2 lobe piercings
Great priplr, very professipnal. Angela pierced my tongue and my husbands eyebrow. Went solendid. They also offer a service to change the original jewlery at a very fair price. Highly recommend Ill also lrave a review once i get a tattoo
I had my tatt done by Pops 11/1.. I told him what I wanted & he did not disappoint. I can actually read what the tattoo says. I absolutely love it & I cant wait to get more ink done by him. Professional, clean establishment, reasonable price. No complaints. Highly recommend.
I came here upon recommendation, and sadly wish I never had. I went to Joel for two simple tattoos and was not happy whatsoever with the way they turned out. His lines were very crooked and his color strayed outside the lines numerous times and it was spotty in areas. He didnt seem to take his time at all and I felt he was rushing himself way more than he should have. I was so unsure about getting it fixed by him I went to my regular girl to have them touched up properly. Whether he is an actual quality artist or not, every tattoo is individual and he didnt take mine seriously at all.
My friend and I got a few piercings done and Angela did amazing 10/10 recommend she was fast, clean and answered all our questions. she made us feel very comfortable and they came out great. will go back again!
Angela started on my tattoo. I’m already in love with it. Go see her for your next tattoo. Or your next piercing. She did a great job on my eyebrow piercing.
I just do not think my tattoo was worth what I paid. I like it but it was so expensive for something small and only black and white. It was just at a convention in another city.
Very clean and great vibes throughout the shop. I saw Pops, and he nailed it on the money! Worked with me and was patient with any changes I wanted. He is an amazing tattoo artist. I love my tattoo💕 Definitely check them out!
I have gone to numerous studios for my tattoos, the only place and artist I have came back to. Fun atmosphere and great prices. My artist is “pops” and he does an amazing job. I love his method of tattooing and the lightness he has makes getting a tattoo a wonderful experience!! Higher recommend not only this shop but definitely “pop”
Great assortment of supplies for tattoo artists local to the Killeen area
Angela Is a great piercer and tattoo artist! She is super quick with piercings and never disappoints with her work. Makes me feel super comfortable while im getting stuff done. Great shop always love the welcoming atmosphere. 10/10 recommend.
Went in with my daughter to get an industrial piercing. They were super fast, super gentle and tolerate/ patient with my overdramatic daughter. Will definitely come back .
Angela gave me amazing nipple piercings! They’re so centered and she was so gentle! She also gave me a small tattoo behind my ear and I am very happy with how it came out :) she kept great conversations going during my services and she answered all my after care questions for both my piercings and tattoo
I got my nose pierced last night (4/11/21) by Angela and not only was she super sweet but she made me feel super comfortable. I got my nose repierced after 4 years and Im more than happy I went with Angela!!! Shes amazing. Also, Ive gotten 2 tattoos in the past from Pops and hes also super chill and professional as well. Cats Customs has my heart, thank yall for the best experiences ❤️
Angela the Piercer is more than qualified to do your piercings. She did an excellent job with minimal pain! Thanks so much!
I had a great experience here with Angela! She did my nose piercing for me and was very professional and kind. It was also super affordable, very clean, and every guest was wearing a mask. I only have them 4 stars though because staff was not wearing masks. There could be a perfectly good explanation for this, but maybe explaining that to the customers would be good. Thank you and I will be back for any other work I want done!
A friend recommended Angela for my nostril piercing and out of the 12 piercings I now have I have to say she did the best job! Amazing pricing! And she was super friendly and helpful. I ended up barely feeling the piercing and she was really fast so by the time I felt the pain she was already done and the jewelry was in! 100% recommend seeing her for your next piercing!
Angela did my nose, septum and my daughters septum. Shes amazing. Very personable, talkative didnt even realize I was getting pierced. Now, I need to come in for a tattoo. 😎
Me and my husband have gotten out last four tattoos with Angela, and everytime they come out amazing! She gives exceptional pricing for work she could charge way more for! The tattoo I had done yesterday, had me acting like a baby cause it was on my chest, ribs and breast. But she was so patient and understanding of my pain. I love color tattoos and her color work is amazing and stays vibrant! Definitely recommend her!
Angela did a big piece on my chest. She was great company as well! The tattoo turned out really good. She took care to monitor pain levels and made sure I was comfortable as I could be. I would highly recommend her for any work needed at Cats Customs!!
Just recently got a tattoo done by Angela. As someone just getting familiar with tattoos, my experience here has been my best experience so far. Angela was extremely professional when helping me plan this tattoo design. The tattoo itself (which covers the majority of my forearm) came out phenomenal and the overall process was relaxing. Angela is super friendly and an outstanding artist. Im now planning a piercing with her and am so excited to continue my experience at Cats Customs. Thanks again, Angela!
Angela is amazing. She did my 3rd set of nipples piercings and it was an amazing experience she has a soft touch and she is very quick. She also did my vertical labret which I was terrified to get but her calm mood and expertise had me at ease just that quickly. I would recommend Angela to everyone 💜
Artist with good vibes and even better work,down to earth and talented...these arent the typical artists you run into at a rinky dink parlor they work hard and are laid back...the piece I got from charles chapman is worth waaay more than i paid for it. After asking if it was ok he even added extra detail and brought it to life..every one in the shop were cool people and nice with the needle.the shop is clean the needles are new and theyre strict on hygiene..even sent me an email on how to take care of my tat..I recommend this place to anyone looking to get tatted.
Angela is bomb! I have received several services from her at Cats Custom Tattoo Shop and get many compliments on her work. I absolutely love all my tattoos and piercings she has done. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Lifetime customer for sure.
I was so nervous coming here to get my nipples done but Angela made me feel so at home! Very bubbly personally and just an overall genuine lady. We were Just talking away I completely forgot I was here to get a piercing! (of course until I felt that needle get inserted) LMFAOO but no seriously Angela is great. Highly recommend ❤️❤️
The shop was extremely clean! Angela pierced my nipples for me and it was super fast and didn’t hurt like I thought it would. I was very nervous but she made me feel so comfortable and I had a great experience!
From the time we walked in until leaving, every single person was welcoming!!! We went in for multiple piercings, and Angela was amazing!! I highly recommend her, shes very clean, efficient and has a great vibe! I will be returning for more!!
Great shop, its clean and friendly. As soon as my mother and I walked in we were immediate greeted and helped. Good prices. My mother and I went to get our nose pierced, which was done by Angela. She did an amazing job! Loved her shes super funny. I highly recommend this shop. Looking forward to getting a second piercing by Angela.
Had my piercing done here with Angela. She was amazing! My piercing had gotten loose and fallen out the very night I pierced it but she squeezed me in early the next morning and took care of me. Def recommend, friendly staff and great service.
Ashley was super sweet, helpful,and professional. Would absolutely recommend
I had a very wonderful and pleasant experience here! I had gotten my nose piercing done by Angela, which you did an amazing job girl! Hope to get a few more piercings and some tattoos done at this place! Definitely would recommend this place... and prices are not that unreasonable at all at this place either!
Only giving a 1 because I cant give a 0. Got piercings done by Angela. They were great the first day and then I started to have an allergic reaction which no one would have known. I went in to have her take them out and she laughed at me told me I was stupid and was wasting my money. They were red, itchy, swollen and hurt so bad. My throat had started to close and I had to go to the er. Angela told me the er doctor was lying saying it wasnt an infection and I just needed bigger jewelry. She then charged me to take them out. I left the shop crying and feeling absolutely humiliated and embarrassed. I was in pain and for her to laugh and tell me I was stupid and it was a waste of money and a medical professional had lied to me was over the top. I do not recommend this shop to anyone. Very very unprofessional on how she took care of the situation.
If I could do 10 stars I would! Super friendly environment and Angela is my new hero, new bestie, new fire in my life! These snake bite lip piercings are perfection. Everything was clean, sterilized, and masterfully done! I’ll be back before you know it.
Had an amazing experience with Angela today! I went in to get a piercing, and she was so super chill and made feel very comfortable. Great experience at Cats custom tattoo! I cant wait to go back to get a tattoo. Thank you so much Angela, I feel Fabulous!!!
Very good atmosphere and very professional work. I had both of my Conch piercings done here and it was very fast and easy. They are super nice and make you feel comfortable. Definitely will be coming back!
Angela is AMAZING, friendly, listens to what you want and also isnt scared of throwing in her own ideas also. She is clean with everything and her vibe is so positive. I went to her twice in less then 3 months and each time she never failed me. Already thinking of my next idea to shoot to her. Thank you Angela for my tattoos that ment so much to me
Went to get my septum pierced again and I have 100x a better experience than when I got my septum pierced the first time. The first time I got my septum pierced, it was too low and starting to rip through my septum. I also had a very painful piercing experience. I went to another piercer and they advised me to remove the piercing and let it heal before getting it redone. This time I experienced little to no pain during the piercing process. And the piercer was very knowledgeable about piercing and great at keeping me calm throughout the process due to my first experience. I recommend her to anyone who ho is looking to get a piercing. She will be honest about placement and health issues that might arise.
Angela is so amazing.. she is so funny and easy to chat with,, great personality.. I cant wait to come back! I thought when I added my pictures I added a few words, but apparently it didnt save.🤷🏼♀️
I came here to get my nostril and septum pierced. I wouldnt recommend this place for someone who has never had piercings before. I gave it a 3 stars simply for the piercers etiquette. I sat down, and she asked which side I wanted. I told her the side opposite to the one I already had. She marked it and immediately pierced it without having me check for placement. So the new one is not even to the one I already had. Then she went in and clamped my septum without checking for the sweet spot. It slit in easily without pain so I’m assuming it’s placed correctly and luckily it’s pierced straight. Maybe she’s just experienced enough to know exactly where it’s at even though everyone’s anatomy is different. She didn’t ask me to take a deep breath or walk me through what was happening, she just did it. She was clean, and I’ve not had problems with the healing, but again I wouldn’t recommend for someone whose new to piercings or nervous. 3 stars simply for the lack of etiquette.
Angela was GREAT. She took care of me fast and efficiently. I was able to walk in tell her what I wanted(nose piercing) in under 10 mins. Thanks again Angela for the amazing experience!!!
Angela has done the majority of my piercings the last few years, she knows what shes doing and shes good at it too! I would recommend her to anyone! Without a doubt shes my favorite person to receive piercings from.
My god. customer service? nope. by the time i called off a jewelry change my nose is hurting and my jewelry is probably ruined and still not threaded right. they sent someone clearly inexperienced instead of just letting me know they were busy. then, didn’t apologize when it was done incorrectly, painfully, and incompletely, and acted offended when i only paid them $10 which is twice the amount of a complete and quick jewelry change. i’ve had good work done at cats before, but i will not be returning.
This place is so awesome, Angela is the best piercer you can ask for. She had another female there with her that was super good. I would recommend this place to anyone for tattoos and piercings. Prices too are the best in area.
Angela was a great piercer I love her it was quick and easy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ def will come back
I walked in and the pregnant woman that did my piercing was so FREAKING AWESOME!!! Dude I will ALWAYS go to back!!!! Clean Professional Quickest Piercing I EVER GOTTEN!!! I’m in love!!!! Thank you!!!! I wish I could give 10 stars!!!! 5 stars just want do!!!!!
Great experience I made an appointment and they saw me right away, my artist Ruben got a new regular
Had Ruben as my artist for my first tattoo, and I have no regrets. He has plenty of patience and works with you, making sure you get exactly what you want; and it came out better than I could’ve thought. Store is clean and well organized with a friendly atmosphere, the staff are incredibly nice and help as best they can. Def coming back here for future tattoos.
I got a tongue piercing from Angela today, watching back the video of the piercing it was pierced incorrectly. She used the clamps and marked the middle of my tongue, the clamps were never on the mark she made. My piercing came out very uncentered and bloody. Usually a tongue piercing is supposed to be pierced straight up, coming out through the marking on the other side. My piercing was pierced slanted. I’m currently going to another piercer to get an okay if I should keep it in. I don’t understand the point of marking the center and then completely avoiding it. Then to not put the clamps where the mark is and put it lower… makes no sense. I bled for like 10 minutes.In response: She completely forgot about us and thought we had already left then moved on to her next customer. Angela provided no aftercare instructions. At that point it was either take it out and get it repierced by Angela. I’ll just go to another professional to get their opinion on if it’s safe for me to keep.
Angela & Dee…were very nice ladies. They made it happy.!! And kind gentle and know how to make people laugh 10 out of 10 recommend this place
Angela is AMAZING, friendly, listens to what you want and She is clean with everything and her vibe is so positive. I went to her twice in less then 3 months and each time she never failed me. Thanks for not letting me down!!!!!
Definitely the best place to go for a quick piercing. I got my back dermals done by Angela and it went by sooo fast and painless and now I love my new piercings!!
I’ve been in Killeen a little over a year and had Charles Chapman at Cats Custom do a few of my tattoos and I will not stray elsewhere. He is reasonable with his pricing, and immaculate with his work. The environment is comfortable and stylish. I love all my tattoos I’ve received there and recommend them to everyone! Charles is diligent with his work, honest, and down to earth. Completely everything you look for in an artist you’re trusting with your skin. He’s even helped me with giving me cover ups on sloppy tattoos I was insecure about before. If you’re looking for a shop worth the time and money, Cats Customs is where to go!
Angela pierced my lip and the top of my ear, she was amazing! Completely her loved her vibe and how professional everyone was. Will definitely be going back.
So I went in to see Angela. Let me tell you this shop was a trip. I walk in and the vibe is cool laid back everyone was friendly. Angela was knowledgable answered all my questions and reassured me. Well I get in the chair and I asked he daughter to talk me through the piercing cause Im a big baby.It was a good experience even though they were all dressed up as clowns. It makes for another great story.
Best shop in Killeen.The artists do gorgeous work, Angela does piercings and shes extremely professional, hygienic and educated.The entire shop is clean, everything is sterile and theyll help you with whatever you need. My favorite shop in the area!
If you are a local artist and need supplies in a hurry, you need to visit Chuck’s team at his Rancier location. He had everything I needed and more. The prices are right on target and you won’t get batter customer service. Thanks Chuck for your support. -Kevin
My best friend and I got tattoos done here by Ruben! It was so much fun! If I lived here I would definitely be going back to have him do more of my tats but I’m just here visiting family. If you need a tat done go in and see Ruben or give him a call/text!
I got my ears pierced and it came out perfect, I also got a few tattoos here and they all came out great. Love these people they make getting tatted an experience. They do good cover ups and great at tatting words.
My friend and I went to Cats a few months ago to get our septum’s pierced and we were super nervous. The lady that pierced was super sweet and helped us be less nervous about it. Definitely will be returning for more piercings in the future. ❤️
Absolutely love Angela. She’s been doing all of my tattoos and piercings for me for almost 5 years. She’s so patient and kind.
Angela is my only piercer! She is super fast! I love her personality! She definitely has my nose lookin cute!! I recommend her to everybody!
WOW! We are so impressed with this place. We had the best experience here and from now on this is our only place for any future ink. They are incredibly talented and the artists and staff are so professional. Memphis took us in and made us feel like his personal project. High quality tattoos that you will be so proud of and want to show off.
Had an amazing experience. I was so nervous and they made the process easy and confortable. They were clean and the environment was lively and upbeat. Vanessa did an amazing job on my coverup tattoo for my mother that had passed away she only did the butterfly but i will definitely be back for the rest. I highly reccomend this place 100 percent.
Angela is very nice, I’ve came to her for all my piercings, will make sure you’re well taken care of! Reasonable pricing!
They done my sisters tattoo last Wednesday afternoon and she loved it as well as I loved it. Go to Cats customs tattoo shop in killeen.
Got my cheeks pierced by Angela, and I got to say she did Amazing!! I had very little swelling the piercings look great she’s very friendly and the shops vibes is just Awesome!!
I took my daughter to get her navel pierced, Angela was amazing. She was very professional and made my daughter comfortable. I loved her vibe and will definitely recommend this shop to anyone.
Angela did majority of my piercings and tattoos, shes very good at what she does. i definitely recommend her to anyone. She prices very resonable not to much.
Angela did my nipples piercing today and it was an amazing experience. She helped me feel comfortable and didn’t let me feel awkward ever. I love my new piercings!!!
Got a second Nose piercing here. Angela is the best! It was quick my eyes didnt even water and it came super good!
Got piercings and tattoo they were awesome I definitely will be back !!!! Great shop
I scheduled an appointment here with Matt. We met for a consultation and then we scheduled two sessions. The day of the first session he messaged me to say he was injured and couldnt make it but we would make it up on the 2nd session. I was understanding.2nd session came and I tried to message him to confirm our appointment and I got no response. I went to to the tattoo shop and he wasnt there. After a few hours his assistant messaged me and said it was her fault, he was quarantined, and she was supposed to inform me.At this point I had wasted my time and deposit so I just tired of this. She offered to refund my deposit which I agreed too. It was over, Ill get my tattoo elsewhere some other time. But then 3 days later, Matt is on his way to Arizona. What happen to your quarantine?UNPROFESSIONAL!
Charles is AMAZING! Me and a friend came in for a different artist For tattoos my friend paid upfront (420$ plus a 100$ tip)for his for the whole tattoo and only got a outline done and I paid for a deposit and the guy took our money and ran! Names Brandon Kendall don’t trust him! Anyways we came to the show and told them what had happened and Charles gave me my tattoo for half the price and fixed my friends tattoo and finished for free!! This place is the most honest and customer first tattoo shop I’ve come across. I will defiantly get all of my tattoos from here. They are trusting honest and caring for their customers and make sure you’re 100% happy without taking your money first.
I got a tattoo done by Pops back in 2020. It was a very rough time in my life and I wanted something to represent me getting through it. Pops not only brought my vision to life, but the detail is just so effortless and beautiful I love Pops and because of him I have something to always remind me that I can get through it, new beginnings and leaving a toxic past behind.
I went in, two weeks ago to get a septum piercing. It was such a horrible experience that I almost didnt want it done. She pierced it crooked and screwed my nose up causing a lot of scar tissue. I had to go to La Rudes to see Chris to have it taken out. She used the clamps and still managed to mess up. The piercing came detached from the receiving tube and she proceeded to continue to push the jewelry in a bunch of times without success. She ended up being able to get an eyebrow ring in and it looked stupid. When I came back and explained to her it was crooked she said she didnt know why and there was nothing she could do. She pierced through my septum which she was not supposed to do. Never go here. Chris at La Rudes was amazing. I will definitely go back for more. It didnt hurt at all with him and he was so quick.
I highly recommend Angela for tattoos and piercings! Shes done one tattoo on my leg that came out beautifully and did my cheek dermal as well. Shes fast, knowledgeable and professional.
Im pretty sure when I received my nose piercing it was pierced through the fatty part of my nose meaning it would never heal and if it were to, it would take forever. After calling and speaking to the piercer the same day and told her that it was crooked she responded with I pierced it so that it would be more prominent. That doesnt answer my question as to why it was pierced crooked. ALSO, out of all my piercings my nose has never bled for nearly five minutes. It was gauged with the jewelry after the initial struggle of getting the needle in. Moral of the story you guys need a piercer thats going to do right instead of taking customers money for the hell of it. By the way have your piercer wash her hands after taking money then moving forward to jab a needle in someones nose.
Angela did my dermal. I was scared but she talked me through it. It was also my first one ever. She did an awesome job! Shes very personable! I recommend her above everyone else.
Angela, who pierced my nose pierced my nose, a bit too low because my hoop sits a bit lower than the other hoop piercing. I’ve had years prior.
Charles Chapmantattoo is the best. I got my 2nd tattoo from him today. He is such a sweet guy and gentle. He did my cousins first tattoo today as well, free hand. Ive never seen that done before. Awesome experience and the tattoo was awesome. Thanks Charles. Number 3 coming up soon!!!
I got my belly button done by Angela and she was so cool, quick and it didn’t hurt at all! Definitely coming back for all my future tats and piercings!
I got my daith pierced here earlier today & I absolutely love it! It’s a clean and fun environment & definitely eased my nerves about the piercing. I’m definitely coming back for my next piercing!
Took my daughter in for a nose piercing. The staff was very friendly, and Angela did an outstanding job! My daughter loves her piercing! Thank you Angela!
I first heard of CATS Customs tattoo from Matts Instagram. Saw his work and contacted him right away. After I visited him at the shop, he was busy tattooing somebody that didnt matter. I sat for a minute and answered all my questions. I made an appointment a week out. On a Sunday. They are closed on Sunday but they still opened the shop for customers. The shop is very clean with some real nice staff. They are very aseptic to avoid any infection. Overall a great place to get a tattoo. Ill definitely be back to finish up my full sleeve done by Matt. Spend all your tax returrn today at Cats Customs tattoo!
Went into the shop with my sister for a consultation on matching tattoos. We were very specific on what we wanted and the type of style we wanted. Matt Matautia was able to sit down with us, go over our design, and add his own little touches to it. He understood the Tribal/Polynesian design that we wanted and made sure we were 100% satisfied. Mind you, we only went in for a consultation, but because it turned out to be perfect, we just had to get it done. Matt was very focused and professional and kept his work space clean and sterile. My sister & I walked out extremely happy and excited to rock our new tatts.If anyone is looking into a Tribal/Polynesian design, look no further. Matt will deliver! Looking forward to future sessions.
Great experience. Angela did an excellent job piercing my daith. They were very professional and friendly.
For my very first tatt glad I went to go see Matt who did an amazing job on both me and my sisters matching tattoo. For anyone who is interested in getting a poly tattoo, this guy knows and understands the meaning behind tribal, I learned a few things from him which was awesome. The place and other artists there were awesome too. Go check this place out!
I highly recommend this place. My husband and I got matching tattoos by Charles and when we walked in we had an idea in our head and what he drew up blew our mind. He did such an excellent job the experience was fantastic can’t wait to get many more tattoos there.
Angela was AMAZING today ! My piercings look so so good and she was kind enough to get me in on her day off ! 100% recommend
I went in for the free piercing and was letting my 13 year old get her nose pierced! They refused to accept my id as the parent consenting!!! And they wanted to see my daughters id, which again she is 13 and I dont get my kids ids until they are 15....with I will never come here again nor will I give them a good referral!
UNPROFESSIONAL.. I came in for a piercing at 1:30..they were busy I made an APPOINTMENT at 8:00pm showed up early & they said can I come back at 10:30 Or tomorrow…noo I waited all day! Will not do busy here ever!
Pops (Joel) was amazingly accommodating. I came in a little last minute and he still took me in as a customer. He brought my tattoo to life that meant so much to me. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon!
Angela is amazing ☺️. I told her my Ideas and gave her some reference and she brought my vision to life. Thank you so much !! I will most definitely be back to sit with her.
Myself, my daughter and my sister, were in from out of town settling affairs for my dad and setting up hospice, we are glad that an appointment with a place down the road didn’t work out, because in the end we felt st home and important while getting matching tattoos in dads honor. Super great crew🤘😘
Angela was the wonderful person who helped me with my piercing. The staff were very nice and welcoming. Would recommend 10/10
😎 I had an awesome experience, I loved it!!¡ This diva got her cheeks pierced yeaaa baby!!! Angela my angel you are priceless 💘... Cyntrik De ova and out ✌🏾❤️
Fernando did an amazing job on my tattoo. I went in and he looked at my tat that I got 14 years ago and it was fading away it looks like it’s my first tattoo he did such an awesome job and o am going go back for other touch us because he was awesome. Very clean tattoo shop, very respectful, great listeners and very awesome artist. You will laught the entire time you are in the shop Fernando MAHALO my BRADAH
Went in for a piercing the other day and Angela took good care of me. Very nice and clean! I love my piercing.
I got my first tattoo with them (half sleeve) during the Tattoos Convention here in San Antonio last weekend. “Bone” was the artist. I gave him a thought, a view, and some references, and he made a work of art...pretty awesome...everyone (even people I know that don’t like tattoos) give me compliments for how nice it came out...highly recommended!!
Don’t get your nose pierced here, sure it’s cheap but Angela did it way too low and didn’t even try to find my sweet spot. It bled for nearly 15 minutes.
So, Bones is amazing. He did my knuckles EXACTLY how I wanted them...exactly! But, Im going to tell you my experience with this shop.I walk in and speak to Chapman and tell him that I had called about wanting to get my knuckles done and Angela had told me to come in. The first thing he told me was, You know its going to fade right? Yeah, Im tracking, I also have my feet done, and some parts have faded, doesnt mean I dont like it, doesnt mean I wont retouch it later. Good, because I dont do no touchups or nothin. Then he continues on about how getting knuckle tattoos arent the best. Well, OK, oh well. I asked the price, knowing itd be a short session and Id probably pay the hourly rate. He told me that hed do it for $100 but itd probably be better to go to Bones, who was the only one in the shop tattooing anyone, would do it for $50. Then, he had to add in the comment, because I dont really do script because people arent books. OK, well I have 9 tattoos AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ARE SCRIPT, but thanks for your irrelevant opinion that I never asked for.I was there on time, and I come in and Im pretty friendly with them all. Chapman immediately when he sees me, tells me that #1 Im not going to like it in a couple of days, #2 Im going to regret it, and #3 Its not a smart idea... After the third one, I reply Well, what do you want me to do? Walk out of here with my money because thats what I can do. Youre not even tattooing it, youre not the one being tattooed, thanks. And I was done. I cannot believe this business allows this man to work here, because just after that I was done, I would not do business at this shop ever again.But it gets worse, we are halfway through, finished with one hand and Bones takes a break. When he comes back, Chapman and Tomas follow and Chapman starts shaking his head. He tells me literally MID TATTOO, youre not going to like it in a couple days, then shows me what looks like a basement tattoo on his knuckles, that I can still clearly read, but yes has faded a little bit, that he said Three days later fell off. OK, thanks? Thats exactly what I want to hear while Im spending money at your establishment. Thats like a waiter telling me, midmeal, Hey, you may get sick later, I dont think it was a good idea to order the fish. How is this even allowed? I tell him, Well, its exactly what I wanted, so I like it and its on MY hand, so it really doesnt matter if you like it, it doesnt matter if anyone else likes it, it matter if I like it. Just to add a cherry on top, Bones starts on the new hand, and I just remind him to go back to one letter and make it a little thicker. Chapman, who is still hovering for whatever reason, says, I thought it was exactly what you wanted? Yeah, this man has HORRIBLE customer service skills and I dont even want to enter the shop if hes in there.Whats crazy is that of the both times I have been inside that shop, Bones has been the only one working the entire time. If hes losing customers because the other artist cannot keep his mouth shut, thats ridiculous. I will be meeting up with Bones again to retouch the tattoo FOR FREE to make sure everything is right and stuck.... But on a day when Chapman is not there, or at another shop, because this establishment has lost me completely.
Ive been coming to Tomas Salinas for 2 years. All my work has come out excellent and I get stopped all the time with people asking where I have gotten it done. The shop itself has been renovated recently and offers a professional environment while also allowing for privacy where needed. The atmosphere of CATS is very laid back and relaxing. Everyone cares about each piece whether theyre the artist or not. I live in Austin and still make the trip out to Killeen for any work I or my friends need done. Prices are more than fair for the quality and all work is guaranteed. Even if you get stuck in the field day after you get tattood and something happens to your piece, theyll fix it right up.
Great , great service, I had Angela Robinson do 3 piercings and she made it a good experience , fast and makes you feel comfortable. I recommend this place to anyone in Killeen or visiting Killeen TX .
Taken my daughter to get two piercings here. Good staff. Clean. Fun experience for them.
I went in to get piercings, Angela did my piercing and made me feel so comfortable and welcomed!!! Definitely recommend her!
I went to go get my belly button pierced by Angela, and she was really great. everything was clean and we had a great conversation. definitely going back in the future.
Employees were super friendly. Service was done in a timely manner. I love my piercing. 10/10 Highly Recommend ! ❤️
It’s a super chill environment and everyone is super nice. I got my nipples done and the lady who does the piercings is SUPER chill. She talked me through it and it went by super fast. Great place!

I LOVEEEEE CATS . I GOT MY TONGUE PIERCED AND was super coool Angela was super patient with me and had me super relaxed after I almost had a panick attack lol .. they are super cool.in here definitely 10/10
I just got my septum redone and I am glad I picked Cats to do it. The staff is very welcoming and outgoing. I will be coming back. Wonderful experience and I will recommend my friends and ransoms to come here.
Love the way the shop is set up. Friendly staff and the atmosphere is perfect. Will go wherever * Youngstar * goes. I’m sure the other guys do great work too, but I’m in love with Youngstars line work, professionalism, and personality. The guy is definitely talented.
I just went and got a septum and venom piercing it was quick and easy. Not only was the staff friendly but they also provided great instructions.
Fun friendly place. Great artist and amazing prices. Highly appreciated their work and attention to details. Angela hooked us up
Great service, they do a wonderful job at making you feel comfortable and chill. They also have some really good prices as well for piercings, would recommend others to come here.
So I met Charles when he came up to colorado for a covention. Not only he was honest, and his work was amazing from what I could tell from his portfolio. He ended up doing a custom sock that is just amazing. Then when he was done with that he started working on my thigh with a custom Odin piece. I recently saw him and he is doing even better at this shop. Thanks Charles for all the work!
Had two sessions done with Angela, love her! Amazing work! Make sure to check her out! Recovery amazing!
VERYY UNPROFESSIONAL! I booked with Angela and she didn’t have the spot I needed available so I wasnt able to get anything done, and I had already paid for everything thorough cashapp and she called me cursing me out saying I was not getting a refund after I had been polite to her!
I walked in just to support my friend. When I saw the work each artist did I was like whaaaaaa!!!! Got my babies names on my wrist. POPs hooked me up!!! Best experience ever getting a tattoo!!!! Thank you!!!!!
I highly recommend this place. Great shop to go to unlike all the other sketchy places in Killeen. Great staff great prices and they work with you well with what you want to get. Great shop to go to if youre wanting to get a tattoo go see Mat, great and talented artist no doubt.
Angela was very nice when she did me and my friends piercing. She gave us a great deal and did a wonderful job
Angela Robinson was the most amazing person ive met. She was extremely positive & didnt hesitate on what she needed to do. Thank you so much, I WILL becoming back for more
I went here for my first tattoo and every one was cool and the shop itself is comfortable. Not mention the tattoo came out looking amazing! This place is Dope and Id recommend this place any day.

This place was a good place to buy supplies but now forget it. They lost my business. I have been tattooing for longer than the girl working here has been alive and since Im currently not working at a shop they wont sell me supplies. Thanks anyway cats.
This shop is very confident and the artists obviously know what theyre doing! I got the web under my tongue pierced here and it was a short visit with no pain at all!
Charles Chapman did my tattoo. He did a awesome job I recommend Cats Customs tattoo to everybody. Dont forget to ask for Charles Chapman!
Great customer service . Good personalities inside the shop .P.s Fernando hooked me up with a decent ass Chicago theme tattoo great creativity with the ideas I gave him .
Great experience getting my first piercing thank you cats customs tattoo!!! Amazing service !!!!

The go-to place for supplies, easily! Love Chuck and his business, always the newest and best from him. If he doesn’t have it, you don’t need it!
Awesome guy! He did a pink rose and I love it. Very professional and listens to what you want and then gives it a cool twist.

Very polite does great tattoos got all my done from her favorite tattoo shop and by her favorite tattoo artist Angela
I got my belly button pierced and it turned out crooked. the service was good though but not really piercings.
If I could give no stars then I would!!! Literally just came from this shop. Walked in the door and it sounded off letting them know a customer had walked in. I could hear conversation in the back. Waited five minutes before ringing the bell on the desk and still no one came to greet me. Will be taking my business elsewhere.
Got my tribal done by mat ! He really cared about the art piece and personalizing it for me. Takes his time and makes sure it’s done right.
Love Angela !!. She’s the only person to pierce /tattoo my body in Killeen. She’s the BEST !!.
