Best experience Ive ever had, and I have 6 tattoos. From customer service from front desk, all the kind and welcoming employees, to Justin doing my tattoo. 5 stars across the board. I felt so comfortable and will return for more work in the near future. Highly Highly recommend!

Ive gotten my septum and my industrial done here, both times the staff was bomb and it was really nice to feel so comfortable. I plan on going back to get a small tattoo soon 😌 It is cash only so if you plan to make a stop then Id suggest taking cash with you but If you do forget they have an ATM up front That you can use.

Great place and great prices. Go see Willie if you are looking to get some work done. He is great at advising and performing the work.The price he quoted me and my girlfriend was literally half of what a different tattoo place wanted to charge us for the same work.I would definitely come back here if I want to do any more tattoos in the future, and Willie will be the guy I see.

Love getting my piercing here by Billy Joe, majority were painless and he was very good at showing me the sanitary needles and cleaning the area in which he was going to pierce. The tattoo quote here are not bad either imo(in my opinion). The environment is friendly and cozy. Though the wait area is kind of crowded when they are having specials. Over all pretty good place 👍

A couple years ago I got the ear acupuncture piercings for anxiety and depression, somehow they magically cured my lower back pain. I thought maybe it was a coincidence and a couple months ago I lost one of the earrings so I just took them out. Last week my back started hurting again so I went and got new earrings to put in my acupuncture piercings, well surprise, the very next day my back pain went away again! I don’t think this is something they advertise but my god! It is such a huge relief and blessing to not be in pain all the time anymore! I’ve spent thousands on chiropractors and these $80 dollar earrings are what cured me in the end!!! I highly recommend ear acupuncture earrings to anyone willing to give it a try! Although.. I did have to trade the titanium earrings out for gold ones cuz I was allergic to the titanium. But that’s not anyone’s fault. I’d give more than 5 stars if it was an option!

Danny is a phenomenal artist who is transitioning his work from paper and canvas to skin. He did an exceptional job and took his time with my piece. Hes very into detail and for starting out isnt bad at all. I highly recommend him. You can find him on fb and Instagram at Danny Abstract Colbath. I added a few photos of his work he did on me.

The guys all helped me out about 2 weeks ago when I stupidly got locked out my car with phone and car on they helped me out in less then 15min and they were super busy I cant thank them enough! Ive been getting my tattoos and piercings there since I was 18 so if you need a spot to get that good work head on down to white buffalos on pecan they will help you out!!! Thanks guys you rock!

I got my first piercing here, it was a septum, and it was a AWESOME experience. I almost fainted, but my piercer “Billy” did a great job and helped me recover. The whole process was smooth and quick, and we came as 2 walk-ins.

Got my first tattoo here with Danny and he made it very easy comfortable. I’ve since gone back for my other 3 tattoos, one of them being done by Justin. The artists here listen to your feedback and make sure you’re happy with your tattoo. They’re very friendly and I definitely recommend them.

I showed up as a walk in, I came in for cheek piercings only but I was talking to the receptionist and I asked about a memorial tattoo. I only had 54 dollars. The artist Justin heard my story and came out. My sister passed away 10 days ago. He asked me what I wanted and paid the extra I didn’t have. The tattoo is the most beautiful Sakura flower on my arm. We talked and I had a really wonderful experience. Everyone here is awesome. I’m so grateful for Justin, if you’re considering getting pierced or tattooed, definitely come to white Buffalo. Experienced professionals, nice and clean shop. They’ll make you feel at home.

My boyfriend and I got septum piercings back in April and it was by far my best experience getting pierced. The process was absolutely painless and the healing was great. I don’t remember the name of the man that pierced us but he was super nice and had great conversation before and during that helped ease my nerves. They also took great precautions due to covid which I greatly appreciated :) would definitely recommend if you want a new piercing!

Review №28

So I am from Dallas, I have 23 piercings throughout my body/face and I’m used to very expensive boujee piercing shops. I was very skeptical about getting pierced in a small town, but I’m down here for work and wanted to get something done. I did research and decided upon going to this shop even though I was rather concerned about how low their prices were (seemed too good to be true) . I can say that I’m very happy with the quality of service I received. The piercer was competent, gentle and did a wonderful job of sizing, prepping and working with me on the placement of the 4 piercings I got last night. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who frequents this area. I would genuinely come back down from Dallas to get some exclusive piercings he offers as well. All in all I would highly recommend the shop. Furthermore I was thoroughly impressed by the friendliness and hospitality of the entire staff. Do note that they only accept cash!

I got my first tattoo and I love it. Despite the pandemic, these guys are doing amazing work and keeping everyone safe and comfortable. I should have called ahead of time and made an appointment but they saw me anyway (waited a little for those who actually had appointments, worth it). Definitely coming back for more! Willies the guy to go to.

Review №31

Not once have I ever been disappointed by White Buffalos superb customer service :) Id also really like to commend and recommend my wonderful tattoo artist Justin Cantu. So far Ive had three pieces done by him, one retouch (this really livened up a prior tattoo that wasnt done by him), and a nose piercing as well. I, and many others, absolutely love all of the work he has done on me. His line work is extremely precise, his shading is very well done, and he pays great attention to detail. He also offers great tattoo advice for design, placement, and any needed adjustments. All in all, hes really great and never fails to exceed my expectations. Hes definitely the artist for me and hes completely gained my utmost admiration for his work and will continue to as I get more pieces done by him. Ask for Justin and I can guarantee that you wont be disappointed! :)

Review №32

I got nipple piercings here a year ago. I trusted the piercer at the time because Id been here for previous piercings and they were fine. I can confidently say now this guy doesnt know what the hell hes talking about. I researched the piercing I wanted for months before going, and he came out with the wrong jewelry. I requested the appropriate jewelry and he ranted about how I shouldnt believe everything I read online. The fact that I still went through with it is on me, but its not surprising they did not heal well, and I had so many issues with the jewelry. Had to take them out and eventually go to a REAL professional. Friends, save yourself the time and emotional damage and just visit a certified piercer the first time around :)

Greeted with a smile and very attentive staff. You go there with an idea for a tattoo and they will bring it to life for you. Very good in prices ,like they say You get what you paid for. So its worth every penny. Piercings are also very inexpensive and by a very experienced person Billy. He is very friendly and is detailed on what he is doing and when he is doing it. He wont lie and tells it as it is. Wouldnt go anywhere else for piercings.

Review №38

Very happy, extremely happy! This is my second tattoo and I wasnt sure how it was going to turn out. My artist Justin Cantu put my mind at ease. You can tell when someone knows what they are doing, NOT nervous, very focused, and determined. I would highly recommend to anyone White Buffalo Tattoo for first timers to the full body folks. Now for the rest of the shop, my tattoo took 5 hours to complete. In that time I witnessed several people (to many to count) coming in and out of the shop. Every single person got a friendly welcome and a Have a nice day on the way out. No one was left standing there undecided on what to do. These are the little things that separate you guys from the other tattoo shops. I will see you again in a few months for that Phoenix. Thanks again Justin Cantu!V/rPaul Allen

Was very shocked when I came in for the first time ... I had seen many reviews talking about how they have such nice employees .The 2 males who attended me were not friendly or nice . And they seemed to be bothered by me asking some questions.When I left the guy didnt even tell how or when to clean my piercing .Not to mention that they only have ONE type of jewely (Hoops) which made my cartilage piercing take forever to heal !!!Anyways I only went there because it was cheap which I feel was sketchy...will not be having a second visit

Billy is the BEST!! Went in for my daughter’s septum piercing and he noticed my husband was a veteran and offered him free piercings for his PTSD and the reaction after he got them was priceless!! He felt an immediate difference and literally was in tears. Happy tears of such a balance feeling. A HUGE Thank you for his beautiful heart. Thank you Billy 💜

Review №46

First of all when he pierced my smiley I couldn’t get the ball off so I called and asked if they were able to change it for me and they said yes, so when I showed up, he replaced it, then after says “that’ll be 10 dollars.” …what?😐 then when I go to get my other nostril pierced he does his placement and I tell him three times they aren’t even and he just says yes it is, then gets rude when I don’t give him a tip. Just to see when I get home, THEYRE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I’m so angry, it may be cheap but let’s just say you get what you pay for.

I Went in to get two piercings “ billy “ was rude fromThe start. He did his job very quick , was rude about placement on my body for the piercing ... it felt like everything was rushed and he wanted to get out of there . He didn’t sanitize the piercing site before or after . I suggest you don’t go to billy .

Went in for a piercing yesterday, and for it being my first time walking into the place, I got some pretty badass service! Billy Joe made it a great session. I haven’t been to every tattoo parlor in the valley, but they gave me like 2 pieces of paperwork to take with me pertaining to how to care for tatts and piercings, and that was a first. I recommend it, my piercing looks great 🤘🏼

I have been tatted by every artist that works at White Buffalo and I’ve been very happy every time.

My moms friend recommended I come here to get piercings that are supposed to help my anxiety. I came in and the piercer was very nice, accommodated me in my wheelchair and helped make the piercings go as easily as possible. He was also very cleanly and personable as well. Ive seen a major imporkvemt in my anxiety since getting them and I would definitely suggest you give it a try if thats something you suffer from as well! I hear theyve just started doing one thats supposed to help with depression, so Ill be going back real soon to get that one done too.

Went in for a nose piercing and I didnt get to choose the placement which was a little weird. He did chose a nice spot but I wouldve liked to know where it was going to be before he did it. It also went by very quick and the was no talk about after care. Overall I like the piercing but the process couldve give better.

Review №54

Billy Joe had already pierced my septum, and this time he took on the challenge of a double tragus back through the anti helix with two industrials! Truly a piercing artist and willing to try the off beat. There have been a few days of sensitivity as it healed, but after a week and a half I can easily move my head and there is no pain or discomfort or infection. Very, very grateful to him for getting me the piercing I desperately wanted! Looking forward to going back in a couple weeks and getting the same style of piercing done on my right ear! Thank you thank you thank you!

My industrial piercing was immediately infected and would not heal (I have had many piercings elsewhere and never had a problem). I now have two keloids which make my ear look deformed, are extremely noticeable, and can only be removed via surgery. Even then its not a guarantee because they may return.

Review №67

It’s affordable but if you want a body piercing— you shouldn’t settle.Three of us went to get pierced here and all three of us have hypertrophic scarring or keloids forming.$20-$30 for a piercing is appealing but isn’t worth the problems that arise.If you have the funds to go to another shop around town, please do it.

Review №85

!!!IF YOU ARE GETTING A PIERCING PLEASE CONTINUE READING!!!!:it is an easy 16 dollars, but please PLEASE go to someone else. Billy Joe DOESNT have the proper jewelry for all your piercings. He is only interested in putting money in his wallet I’m 100% sure his “allergy” and “anxiety stress relief” are placebos and customers not wanting to feel cheated over the money they spent as well say it works. I have my piercer at Powers, it’s 25$ but because I wanted to save the extra cash I went to Billy, my mistake; I asked for my vertical tragus; I remember when I was younger around 17 I wanted the tragus but there were so many possible errors of the wrong jewelry being placed that I got spooked out of it, however as of now I figured the piercers around here knew better. I even asked him if he’d done it before which he said lots of times, I saw the jewlery and knew it wasn’t like the one I remembered in pictures but hey he’s a professional right? I was eased at feeling like he knew what he was doing, he had placed a banana curved piercing into my tragus to which five weeks later my skin rejected it and it’s popped right off. (My review is on Facebook as well with a chart of what could happen with the wrong jewelry and what happened.) Two weeks into that I hadn’t realized any sort of difficulty with it but because I take care of my piercings and use sea salt along with antibiotics, I go in to get my other tragus done however this time not on my sideburn on my legit ear AGAIN he placed the wrong jewlery in AGAIN. !!this one I didn’t realize could be strictly labret jewlery in and he should know better !!!! HE SHOULD KNOW NOT TO PUT A HOOP IN A TRAGUS OR IT LEADS TO SKIN REJECTION. I’m so disappointed in this establishment and how HE GETS AWAY WITH PIERCING PEOPLE WITH THE W R O N G JEWLERY. PLEASE, please you guys, especially 16 year olds because I also got my septum here at 16 and realized two years later it was crooked, don’t come here, not for piercings at least, you’ll get cheated off your money. GO SOMEWHERE WHERE YOUR SATISFACTION AND MONEY IS VALUED. I’m going to tell my piercer to fix this for me she did a splendid job in piercing my nostrils to be aligned to each other(you can check out my octopus ink review on Facebook, they said my nose was unaligned and made one lower than the other to where the results my piercer left me with are beautiful. You can also see the crooked septum piercing from here in that same review.) The Ink Elephant is a good place too, she’ll charge you 30, before I went to Powers she did my vertical labret as well as my chest. There’s also a really good guy who’s going to start piercing at Buena Suerte (oct1st+) I don’t know prices. But again, please don’t come here, you’re just going to waste your time and money.

Went in and gave him some ideas, and he came up with a good tattoo idea in return. I put down a 100 dollar down payment to give him time to come up with the tattoo and about when the time came up, I found out he moved without telling me anything. When I asked for my down payment back, no response. Dont give these guys any of your money and move on.

Review №93

So I got my ankle tattoo done there because I heard good things from this shop. The only beef I have was that they overcharged me on my tat. Ranging from 40-150 bucks they told me it was $140 but then when I signed the waiver it was marked $150 so yeah. Even then, I know it should just cost about $80 from other places. I couldnt even argue but I was tired and I wanted it out of the way so I guess. I did like the outcome although the beads on my tat were.not perfectly round and the artist almost forgot to fill in some of the beads. Def, research first who has the most skills before settling on just anybody before getting your inks done. Thats just my advice.

Hello my name is Isaac and I 1st went to White Buffalo back in 97-98 and got sum tribals on my arms and legs.. Frank did those and till this day they still look very good.. since I moved from Mcallen I tried other artists and Tatoo Studios and I regret every time I did.. a couple of months ago I finally got a good job so now I can afford sleeves.. I went back to WB to get started and Justin Cantu helped me.. as soon as I walked in Justin greeted me and right away asked how he could help me.. I gave him an idea and showed him pictures of what I want that’s it and Justin took over from there.. told me exactly what I wanted to know and I set up a appointment.. while I was getting my tatt’s the rest of the staff was either working or attending to customers.. remember people you are going to a tattoo studio and not a retail store.. all the artist are straight up and tell you want you want to know.. I’ve been and shopped studios all over the valley from Mercedes to Mission and WB was the most professional atmosphere I ever experienced.. if you are looking for a 1st tattoo or a sleeve White Buffalo is the place to go.. oh FYI for you people that are scared of pain, Justin supplies his own numbing cream and it really works.. excellent for those big tattoos.. Justin is a amazing artist and very professional young man who uses the latest technology ( all digital ) to sketch out your tattoo.. I highly recommend White Buffalo for all of your tattoo needs..

Took my daughter to get her tongue pierced and the guy Billy admitted to her that he was tired but he still proceeded and she bled so much for 3 days so I called him n asked if this was normal n he said have her take it off n I got her I will redo it next week so I trusted his word thinking he was experienced n when my daughter removed it blood was gushing everywhere like something you see in a horror gruesome movie so I rushed her to the hospital n they called n oral surgeon because one of the vein was punctured n thats why it was gushing out so now I have an unwanted hospital bill n a very traumatized daughter.

These “artists” don’t care about the work they put out there. They just care about money. Do not get a tattoo here. Go to buena suerte or octopus ink.
