Its Live Through This Tattoos, Supplies, & Piercings

This was my first time at this place but personally it was a good environment. There was good music and they have little snacks and water for free 😊Drew was my tattoo artist and he was very easy to talk and laugh with. Which is SO IMPORTANT when you are gonna sit and have work done! He was real cool with my son too and thats what I look into because I want the setting to be overall just welcoming, good job 🤌🏽Highly recommend him ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars)Also, his work is very nice. Love the lettering and how he detailed his work. Shows pride.(Its fresh, like today fresh lol)

I had the pleasure of being Drews (Andrews) inaugural client as a live artist, and my experience was exceptional. The studio exuded cleanliness and ambiance with delightful music playing, and the warm reception from the staff was noteworthy. Drew sat down with me, guiding me meticulously through the entire process with utmost respect and patience, assisting me in making informed decisions regarding the tattoos design and placement. His commitment to ensuring my comfort was evident as he provided continuous updates and offered refreshments throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a professional and accommodating tattoo experience. I eagerly anticipate returning for future tattoo sessions. A flawless 10/10 encounter

This was my first visit to this shop, so I was a bit hesitant and nervous. Upon entering, Drew (Andrew) welcomed me with a smile and a positive attitude. He was incredibly patient while I chose fonts for my tattoo and offered his professional opinion in a reassuring manner. Drew explained all the tools he was using and assured me that his station was clean, walking me through the entire process. His friendly demeanor made me feel comfortable and at ease. I will definitely return to this amazing shop. Be sure to ask for Drew; he is a talented and promising artist who deserves high praise.

It’s always so welcoming here. Jennifer in the front always handles things flawlessly. The tattoos and piercers are extremely professional and do their job well. I come here almost every week and they always accept me with open arms.

Mandi was incredible! She was gentle and fast! One deep breath she told you to take and BAM! Done!!! I love the service here, very fast; we walked in and were seated quickly for our piercings! Got my Helix & Tragus done! Highly recommend this place for some piercings & ink! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Low on cash and want a tattoo? Look no further for poorly done tattoos that can either be super cheap or moderately priced. You can either get a good tattoo artist that eventually moves to a different location, or get an artist with a poor skill set. Most of the times it’s the latter. Shaky line work, the art looks messy and scratchy, I would definitely search up the artists social medias to get a look at what you would be getting into. If they can post the most dog water tattoo on their instagram with confidence…run. Yes they do offer free snacks, yes they have free wifi, but none of that matters when you’re spending $200 on a “realistic” tattoo that has horrible proportions and it stays on you forever. I got a tattoo done here and it was definitely too deep, now I deal with blown out and raised lines. All to say avoid this place at all costs.(Edit: to reply; girl be so fr at least own up to the work your artists do. Artist grow and eventually get better, here they’re still not at that level yet and it shows. Just have ownership of that lolAlso here’s the proof, since y’all wanna be silly goofy, you can clearly see this is raised and irritated from the artist going too deep.)

Such a beautiful art piece thank you so much. It looks amazing. The best tattoo shop in San Antonio.~ And also go check out Garcia_art_ink~ insta he’s the one to go too he did this work on my arm and just over all a great work and a great time….

Pinche purple did my piercings and she’s so sweet and makes u feel as comfortable as possible , and very welcoming , I loved my piercings as well

Andrew definitely killed this piece for me just how I wanted it to come out definitely check him out chill vibes and crazyyyyy talented definitely going back for some more work

This place is absolutely phenomenal!!! I love the atmosphere as soon as you walk in everyone is so sweet and fun! They relax your nerves and are gentle when it comes to getting your piercings and tattoos done. The apprentices are respectful and caring always checking on the clients when they’re in the chair! The owner James is just a sweetheart and so understanding. Jimmy, Eddie, Eric, and Angel are extraordinary artists and I highly recommend every artist here because of the talent they hold is incredible! Mandi and Jenni at the shop are simply the best and always make me feel welcomed and relaxed when I come in. 100% recommend this place for all of your piercing and tattoo needs.

Tattoos by Drew, best tattoos Ive received by far, love it when your artist vibes with you right from the start! Coming back next week for more from him!!

Always love coming here not for just the specials but anytime I want a tattoo 😁

Super packed for Friday the 13th tattoos but super friendly staff. We ended up waiting almost 5 hours to get our tiny tattoos, but it was worth it. The artist, I believe it was Eric, was super nice and amazing, as well as the entire staff we had the pleasure to talk with. Free waters, Popsicles, candy and snacks while youre waiting. Definitely my new tattoo shop to go to.

Drew is awesome!! He was very professional and has a lot of great tattoo ideas. I was a little indecisive on what I wanted but, he really listened to what I liked and didn’t like! I love the way my tattoo came out!!

Will definitely recommend this place ! Very clean and professional, I got a vertical industrial piercing done on both ears by purple and loved it so much.

I came in as a walk-in [07/07] and luckily their piercing artist was nearby. Purple did my septum and vertical labret piercing and she did a good job. She is very detail-orientated and checks in with you before piercing to make sure youre getting what YOU want. Purple was very friendly and she for sure made me less nervous. This was my fourth time getting pierced here and they are good at what they do. I know 20 dollar piercings sounds a bit sketchy, but that is not the case here. Their artists know exactly what theyre doing.

I had the pleasure of meeting Drew and the pleasure of him doing my tattoo as well. He is a very sweet guy, good conversation, very funny, and just over great service from him. Thank you Drew for your work!

Best and cleanest shop! I love all of their work. Mandi always does amazing on the piercings . Fast and good customer service

Absolutely would return and a great first experience! Thank you so much Mandiiiii ❤️. You helped me to understand and enjoy my first experience ever with my piercing! Thank you and your shop again for the quick professional and excellent service! 10/10 would recommend!

Was interested in visiting this place for a tattoo, but looked at reviews to see the owner accusing a costumer of theft,as well as not taking responsibility for its artists.One as an owner of a business you yourself should be responsible for letting your artists go in a private manner. Not when your artist is working on someone half exposed and then proceed to make a costumer who paid full price leave with an unfinished piece and empty pockets. Also would not suggest accusing a costumer of something with no proof ?? Take it up with your artist not someone who just came to get a service done.All for hearing both sides of the story but what seriously should’ve been done was letting your artist go either before working on someone or after.Just sounds like an awful experience anddon’t think this place is worth getting a tattoo at for all of that.

Super cool good energy walking in! Got a Greeting by one of the guys super fast no waiting! Mandy did my piercing I did 3 on my nose she was super chilled! Definitely coming back for more piercings I liked my experience!🤙🏼

Took my baby to get her nose pierced by Piercer Purple she is amazing piercer she was very detailed with aftercare instructions. The wait time was reasonable, and the staff was amazing.

Good place! Everyone was so nice! Shout out to Drew! I got a tattoo from him & he made me feel comfortable the whole way. He’s very talented at what he does for sure!

My tattoo artist was Jesse. Did an amazing job. Very happy with my tattoo. Definitely recommend this guy. The place was lively and staff was friendly. Went as a walk-in and was on the tattoo chair within an hour. Have tons of free snacks and offer free touch ups on tattoos. Will definitely be coming back.

Jimmy did an amazing job on my scar tat that holds a lot of significance to me. All of the staff was so nice to me and made me feel welcomed right away! I’ll always choose Live Through This! 10/10 would recommend to anyone

As a 19 year old young woman, with various tattoos, I have quite a lot to say about this place, hang with me.Its taken me awhile to build up the courage to start up this review. It was a traumatic experience for me. I had made an appointment with an artist separately, Jordan, he was great. However, him and the owner had had previous issues, and midway through the tattoo, the owner had decided to fire him then and there. He said that if he did not leave, he would call the cops.My artist insisted that I finished my tattoo at least, and the owner said no. No? I was in shock. I left that day with an unfinished piece and a half done post up wrap and sterile. I would like to add that this took me 6 months to find another artist to finish up the tattoo, and I paid full price for just half of the tattoo.I would like to say this, which is the biggest part. This tattoo was on my spine. I did not have my top on, and the owner came into the room without any permission from me. This was vulnerable for me and I did not feel safe. I believe everyone should feel safe during their tattoo, and I was not.In addition, he threw the money at me, which was for my artist, and insisted I leave as well.Overall, as a young woman coming into this tattoo shop alone, I was shaking heading to my car. Do not go here. Do not go here if you want to risk leaving with a half done tattoo.I would like to say I am an all A student and Id like to think a good citizen. I rarely make yelp reviews. Please trust me on this.I’d also like to say the owner keeps accusing me of theft? I don’t fully understand the reason. I was a client who listened to what my artist had told me to do. He instructed me to walk downstairs and give them $300, which i think was a % of the price ? Must be a percentage that gets taken out when you have an artist and a shop.All i know was1) i hit up an artist on instagram, he told me his price and make a deposit.2) i made the deposit told him i would give the rest of the money to him in cash when i get there3) i get there give him the cash i owed him started with my tattoo4) he tells me to bring money downstairs to them5) i get kicked outIf the artist and the owner had issues prior to this, okay, and if the artist was committing theft, why am i at blame when i had no part in it? I had no part of this operation and all i did was what the artist, whom i trusted, to do. Anyways being called a theft for whatever money issues that him and the ARTIST had, i suffered. Do not go here. Have not gotten an apology either as y’all can see below, for the invasion of my privacy as a woman and for what had happened.Chloe Phan2027 Graduation Year

Drew was super attentive and made sure I was feeling comfortable during my tattoo experience and that his work was quality! I would definitely recommend getting a tattoo with him.

Drew absolutely killed it. He’s a great dude that cares about working out the tattoo the best he can with you. I definitely would recommend him.

I was recommended by a friend to come here for supplies. I bought a box of 18G piercings needles for $40(which was ridiculous). The box should have 100 needles in it. The employee was inattentive and rude, she seemed absolutely annoyed by having to help me. I was told by the employee that it was a brand new box. Fast forward to getting to my place of employment, and there are only 84 needles in the box. When I called, the same employess(a girl with dark hair and glasses) was absolutely rude on the phone. She refused to refund in any sort of way and continued to tell me “she was trying to help me” by telling me I needed to drive all the way back to exchange the box and wouldn’t offer any partial refund or anything. More than anything I’m disappointed this place has such “great” reviews and the employee was absolutely rude. 10/10 I don’t recommend. Apparently at this business customer service is nonexistent for this place.

From the moment we walked in and left there was nothing but good vibes and smiles. Everyone there have good vibes and talent drew did awesome with my tattoo and we are definitely going back for more.

Got my labret and tongue pierced here it was great! :) Jennifer was nice and greeted us on our way in. The piercer was very sweet and told me everything to do and what not to do, I would recommend coming here :))

My husband and I got matching tattoos. We went in to get a price quote and ended up getting the tattoos. Place was clean. Prices were great. They even had free snacks and water. Rudy did our tattoos and he did an amazing job. Definitely going back.

Bought some supplies here while in town…I’m an artist out of Las Vegas, they are way over priced for being in Texas! 1oz bottles of ink that are originally $8 are charged $25-$30… the bigger bottles go for $50+. If I wasn’t desperate on a Sunday I would’ve walked out n just ordered my supplies. The lady was nice and the lights are cool.. that’s it.

Got a belly button piercing as a walk in and the front counter ladies were so nice and helpful! the person who did my piercing was so nice and helped calm my nerves about the piercing and talked to me through it! very professional! definitely coming again

Omg I cannot stress enough STAY AWAY from this piercing shop!!! I dont know how something as simple as a smiley was able to be messed up but the girl that pierced my smiley managed to pierce it in the WRONG SPOT. No wonder it was $10 I guess you get what you pay for… i have a pretty good suspicion the reason they have that sale is so practicing, inexperienced piercers can practice on people which is messed up because its obvious they have no clue what they are doing. Go to Voodoo Tattoo shop instead way better and the same exact prices!!!REPLY TO THE SHOP: Ok MY BAD $20 piercing*** either way the girl that did my smiley piercing at YOUR SHOP DID IT INCORRECTLY. Take accountability for your mistakes the reply you guys made makes you guys look absolutely unprofessional and I really hope y’all get shut down.

I got my first tattoo today yall and I was ssooooooooooo scared but my suga Drew made it quick and painless..highly recommend going to him if you scared of needles like me😮‍💨🥰

My homie Drew… Yeah 10 out of 10 would recommendThank you so much I absolutely love it!😊

Had the awesome experience of getting my septum piercing done by Mandi. The process was super fast. Will definitely come back again

This is my second time coming here. The first time I brought my mom and we got matching tattoos from jimmy they turned out better than expected with our inspo. Today my boyfriend and I came to get pierced. Mandi helped us out and there was essentially no wait to get pierced by merayaa! Easy process great experience everytime I’ve been here. Will keep coming back for sure

Female friendly! Me and my friend came here for her first tattoo and Eddie was very kind to us! He even had them play a favorite song for her so she can feel better. Man, it was such a great experience!! We’ll be recommending this place to all our friends. 🥰♥️🌹 Ask for Eddie for First Timers!

Amazing place! I got a piercing with Mandi and she was super sweet and a great piercer! The ambient is really really cool too, they make sure thr clients feel comfortable and special!

This artist girl...did a great job!! You cant see that there was another tattoo before!! I was totally satisfied and highly recommend it!! she is the only female tattoo artist!! love my tattoo!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I’ve gotten 2 tattoos by Martin and everytime he takes my vision and creates something amazing. I’ve also had 4 piercings by 2 different piercers and each time they were quick and professional. Definitely returning for more ink! The customer service is awesome and the people there are dope.

Mandi Mae is the absolute best. I’ve brought my self, wife and daughter to her thru out the years. Wouldn’t trust anyone else. 10/10 would recommend.

I had all of my piercings done here! Great place! Clean and inviting. Great staff! I love Mandi. She is awesome!!! I plan on coming here for many more piercings!

Finally got a chance to sit and write. I got a piece done with my boyfriend.. there are small imperfections that I gawked at for a few days.. now I see how perfect the tattoo looks. My skin has healed, my baby panda paws are perfect to me and the color is wonderful. My artist was okay.. probably not my favorite.. but the artist that did my boyfriends work was absolutely amazing. He was super focused on detail, color and perfection.We were offered our choice of drinks during a store run, the owner(s) treat the artists with respect and you can tell this group is a family.My artist made little conversation, focusing more on his work, the shop owner(s) were hospitable and genuine. I couldnt ask for more.

First time here came in for a nose piercing Mandi took care of me she was very sweet talked me through it and it was very quick! the studio is nice and clean great vibes they have complimentary drinks and snacks loved it here will definitely come again soon 🙂

A great time! Went for their Friday the 13th deal and the wait was comparatively short. I got exactly what I wanted, and even though it was the end of what must have been a long day, all of the employees were sweet and helpful.

Super rude piercing lady, Took my teen and she wasn’t very informative, she told him to rinse but she didn’t tell him not to smoke or kiss for at least 3 weeks I’ve had multiple piercings so luckily I told him better aftercare on the way home. and she was giving a super rushed vibes, afterwards she had the nerve to call my sons girlfriend a completely different client to get my son to give her my phone number, and just be annoying threatening legal action. I removed the description of her because she said it was body shaming. While waiting to get the piercings she was gossiping loudly about other employees exs saying they were leaving fake reviews and calling them names. In front of me and two teens as well as another family waiting. So definitely the most unprofessional tattoo environment I’ve been in. The artists had some nice work in the tattoo portfolios but rude people like this really run off the clients.

The best tattoo place I’ve been to in SA by far! they have the nicest staff that will walk you through everything & offer honest recommendations. Angel has done my tattoos & he is amazing! Mandi also did my piercings & they turned out super cute. I cant wait to come back soon & get more

Always friendly service and they always have great deals going on! Shotout to my Artist Rudy who did an awesome job on both my tattoos! Go see them and ask for Rudy!

I requested a black widow off a reference photo, I was asked for a google outline… Besides also having a heavy hand, I got butchered by artist Rudy Alvarado. If you can’t recreate the tattoo for the client, don’t do it all. Rudy did not communicate and I wish I was turned away. I suggest having better communication? I was not spared from this embarrassment and I have to invest for a cover up. This is truly such a hassle.

Ive been here several times for some small tattoos ...i love comming here...i feel really welcome...since the first time i walked in....ive had several tattoo artists but i think i finally found mine in Elias ...he is in high demand and u may have to book a week or two in advance but worth the wait......he saved my horrible tattoo (pics below)..im shocked they have tampons and pads in the bathroom! They also have snacks all around the place for their guests...ive never seen a loyalty program at a tattoo shop and they have all their prices posted on the web page...they have all kinds of artists which is soooo cool...the owner is readily available...love this spot...they need a resturant or something too bc they are busy the moment they open and i wouldnt mind some food food while i wait...maybe a taco place:D....thats legit my only suggestion...

Agreed to get 4x2 and was told 3x3 desired was not doable. Went in for group tattoo and after looking closely, I am not very happy at the end of it all for all 3 of us. Imagined it to be simple and clean. Its very unfortunate as it had sentimental value. Gave a 2 because the atmosphere was very friendly.

Despite the absolutely packed house for the Friday the 13th sales, James and his staff spared no time or effort to assist all customers in need of assistance. Being beyond fair and considerate to those in the shop. Furthermore, Fabiana (behind the tekkadan insignia) and Eric (behind the flame core and the shadow company insignia) were amazing artists, with stellar conversations and work.I cannot believe how great this little shop is, and I can’t wait to come back to get more ink!

Mer was an awesome piercer, chill and made my vertical labret quick and painless. third time getting it pierced (first from here) and it was the best Ive had!

First time my daughter got a piercing it was awesome . Second go round I got two piercing in my bottom lip not so happy. One turned out awesome no pain the other one she told me she hit a blood bump. It kept bleeding all day.. I had to take that one out. My money wasted . But Im still happy for the other one..

The place was sweet and good. We went for the Friday the 13th deal, but had to leave before we were able to get tattoos. But we were able to get a rain check and went back today. They worked with us to get our design right. Jordan was our artist and he was fantastic!!! He also worked with us to get our design size and placement right. He was super fun to talk to and knew what he was doing. He said he’s been tattooing for 15 years. Would certainly recommend him and go back myself!

Jordan did a wonderful job on my tattoos. Highly recommend this place for people getting tattoos. He did my tattoo fast and quick. If you wanna save time and get a quick tattoo Jordan is the guy. Thank you guys for the sick tattoos. Definitely gonna recommend my close friends to get tattoos here. Was a bit of wait but it was totally worth it. 😁

This was my first tattoo, i was lowkey nervous but DREW was such a big help for making me feel better about it and it was a 1/10 on the pain scale!

My girl friends and I had an awesome experience here! One group of friends went the day before and raved about this shop so a second group of us went tonight. While waiting for our tattoos, two of us decided to get piercings. I got two and my friend got one. They artist was quick, thorough, and was generally amazing! As soon as we were done getting pierced we were up for our tattoos. The artist was awesome! He wasnt heavy handed at all and did an awesome job!Yes, there might be a small wait but what do you expect when the place is packed and the artists are awesome? I can say, the experience was totally worth waiting for!Ive already recruited another group of girls to come in to get their work done, too!! Overall, this place earned their 5 stars! Staff from the receptionist, to piercer, to tattoo artists, were genuine and super talented!Looking forward to going back!

Mae Mae was so sweet and informative about my after care. I had my Medusa before and the previous person did not center it correctly and she got it right on point ❤️

Ive been there twice with my daughter. Shes gotten 2 body piercings, the Industrial and her belly. Both times were good and professional experiences.

DO NOT get an industrial piercing here. Took my 17yo to get an industrial piercing. Worst decision, I cant believe it.Made an appointment at 7p but that didnt matter - they put us in line with all the walk-ins. That sux but whatever.The piercer looked at my kids ear, made the marks and then had a conversation with someone who walked up to her. Then she pierced his ear and it started bleeding immediately. I thought it was a lot of blood, more than just drops. I asked if that was normal and she said yes, then hurriedly wiped it and sent us on our way.2 days later my kid was still bleeding and they wouldnt answer the phone, so we took him to a different shop. They confirmed that the piercing was awkward and would not heal properly! Had to get it removed.TLDR - Awkward industrial piercing caused bleeding for two days. Had to take to a different shop to get removed!

Great experience, super helpful staff and the artist I had was amazing.

Eric is a bad@$$ artist! Always gets down! Everyone at the front desk is always helpful in explaining prices and options! I recommend coming here for your next tattoo!

I had Erkan as my tattoo artist and it was wonderful! Friendly, professional quality work for a fair price! I will definitely be returning!

Kay did this tattoo on me for the 4x4 special and it has to be one of my favorites! She made me feel super comfortable and was fun to talk to. Definitely would recommend going with her.

My daughter and I made a trip to this tattoo shop because we wanted a new tattoo and we heard they have good artist good service and a nice clean facility. So we called and found out they took walk ins so we went and all of the things we had heard turned out to be spot on. The two people working the desk were really helpful and made sure our tattoo prints were exactly what we wanted and very friendly and the Artists, Edgar and Elias did a great job on our work and made us feel more than welcome and their work stations were very comfortable and clean. So if you want to venture out for a new tattoo go by and check it out, you wont be disappointed with service or prices...A+ to the entire team ... my daughters tattoo, the shield came out way above what we expected and mine is s bit smaller but I love it...thanks to edgar who did the godsmack sun and thanks to Elias who did my daughters shield, and thanks to the front desk staff for helping make this happen...Great Team!

Mandi & Merayaa were amazing, came for the first time for my first piercing and the whole process was great. Would definitely come over again.

10/10 Drew did an amazing job on my new piece will definitely coming back for sure.

This is a great place to come to. The environment is laidback and chill. Been coming here for all tattoos and never had any problems or issues with healing and whatnot. Never had any problems with the staff. If there’s any errors with anything, they get it resolved in a heartbeat.

Been there twice for ear piercing. Very inexpensive. Had no issues at all.

Went there for my first Tattoo with my Daughter!! I love it!! He was really good and what we wanted an fast!! He does many styles of tattoos that youll love and not sitting there crazy long!!! Thanks Elias!! Great job!!

Took my son to get his nose pierced on Friday the lady was super awesome. I went today and was a different lady she was not very friendly and some how cut the inside of my nose. When she put the nose ring in she was a bit rough and cut the inside and I did say it was poking me she did adjust it but could have been a little more gentle cut is a good size bleed a good bit . But they do have really good deals. 👍

Fantastic experiance! Got my first tattoo here, and everyone was very nice and professional. All my questions were answered and I felt very comfortable here. Cant remember my artists name but he did and amazing job! I would recommend this place to everyone I know. Cant wait to come back again for more! Plus they gave me some Gatorade while I was waiting. 10/10 experiance couldnt of been better.

The gals in the front were very friendly and helpful. I love my tattoos from Martin he did amazing job fixing my cross and adding the American flag. After that I got another one and he did an awesome job. Thank you I love them.

Came in for the friday the 13 deal, got a pokemon ball just the outline. Love it and Eddie was amazing and nice. The reason its not a perfect 5 stars is cause I asked about having half the outline in red and the cost. After descussing it we agreed on the 20 for black and I could talk to the artist about the red and if they would charge extra. So after discussing it with the artist he agreed to do it. Fast forward to the end the receptionist girl comes in to give him another paper for his next tattoo she looks at mine and says she didnt pay for full color. She repeat herslef twice and seems to be more mad as if I had lied about what Id paid for. As if I didnt discuss with two people about it. I get that supplies r expensive and everything else. But I wouldnt have lied or even gone through with it if one person had told me no. She ruined the experience for me.But besides that the place is amazing. Snacks and drinks. So many piercing to choose from.

Got my tongue pierced by Mandi about 3 months ago… had a great experience with her and the shop, she’s very friendly, answered all my questions even weeks after I got it, very helpful, made me feel comfortable! I highly recommend her for any piercing, especially if it’s your first piercing ever.

I had an amazing experience with Martin and the staff . Clean and fun shop! Super homey kind of tattoo shop . Very welcoming when u come in . And they have a points chart n birthday discounts as long as u keep going back. This was my bday tattoo n Ill be back for more need my sleeve done.

Love this place! Jennifer at the front is always super nice and helpful and the artists are amazing! It’s my go to shop for sure!

Highly recommend Drew his hand drawn tattoos are very detailed and the line work is fantastic

Good experience! My friend and I walked in for piercings and were able to get help right away. Mandi, our piercer, was extremely helpful and patient. She answered our questions and gave us recommendations on cleaning products. She was very friendly, funny, and created conversations with us to make us feel comfortable. Definitely recommend seeing Mandi for any piercings!

Great customer service! Very friendly environment, they have some of THE TOP OF THE LINE ARTIST hands down!!!....Erkan is the guy that has done my last 2 tattoos ,I will definitely go back to see him for my future artwork!

James runs a clean shop and the artists are pretty friendly as far as tattoo artists go. Ive been a customer since 2021 and will continue to give Live Through This my business.

Great service and prices. Im definitely going back.

Place is very welcoming , my favorite employee Jennifer has always shown me the best service , I’ve been Coming here for a year now and I don’t have any complains 🖤 she’s the best

Tattoos came out great... We were very happy with the outcome... Artist Ermir was awesome...👍👍👍

Very nice environment. My tattoo came out better than I expected. Definitely going back if I decide to get another tattoo. The tattoo in my picture costs $110.

I got a couple tattoos done by Rudy. I love his work and attitude! The staff are so nice, patient and helpful. I got in right away after consulting via email about what kind of art I wanted. The entire experience was top notch. I will definitely use this business and the artist again. I recommend them to everyone that I know that loves tattoos and Ive had nothing but compliments on my tattoos!

Got this lion tattoo done by Eddie , I’m really pleased by the way it came out , homeboy took his time and did his thing I would really recommend him to anybody trying to get a nice detailed tattoo , tattoo shop and Eddie really did there thing loved it ! Shout out to Eddie

I wouldn’t change anything at all. the ladies that were up in the front that gave me the paperwork to fill out and took my information had great vibes and they were just overall really nice. and for my tattoos i had a perfect experience, jordan was the artist i had and he was really nice and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. this was my first time getting tattoos from someone other than my go to tattoo artist and i didn’t mind being there and getting them done by him (which i was pretty skeptical about tbh). 10/10 would recommend (again) 😂

Went in for the special 40$ for a 2x2 . As soon as I got there the front lady seemed to not want to have to deal with customers while she’s eating and watching whatever was on the TV. She asked for my id and paper and both times I had to practically reach to the other side of the table and bend my arms under the plastic barriers since she didnt feel like even leaning a bit from the chair to help grab things from me . And then proceeds to tell me “the artist can’t do it , it needs to be 4x4 “ . ((Which is fine I rather the artist tell me they can’t do it than make a failed attempt. ))But I told Her nicely “oh okay it’s fine then I just won’t get it “ and she just sits there and stares at me and doesn’t say anything . So I end Up just leaving with no words being spoken to me after that . Customer service was horrible . Probably would’ve stayed and got a bigger tattoo if I had even felt a little bit welcomed and comfortable.Response to owner : I apologize I thought The shop opened at 12 that’s why I came closer to around 1 . And I don’t have a problem with the artist saying he couldn’t do it . Thanks anyways I have someone else doing my 8sizes too big tattoo so it’s all good .

Mandi was so fast like I was nervous to get my surface piercing done but she did it smooth and easy

I came in last night with my sister in law and my friend. Sarah did our piercings, and she was so awesome. I’d definitely come back to her for more work.We came in as walk-in’s and felt welcomed. The wait wasn’t too bad either.

Me and my daughter went for septum piercings and we’re happy with the outcome perfect placement super friendly piercer Merayah! Thank you! we will return for future piercings and tattoos!!

Ive gotten most of my work from there now and dont think Ill be going anywhere else. It feels like home there

The front people were always kinda rude but Jimmy did great work finished one session and covered most of an unwanted tattoo cant wait to do another soon.

Great service, music and vibes. I wish I could remember the woman that helped us with the paper work, she was awesome and making me and my daughter feel comfortable. Jody was sweet and gentle with the septum piercing for my daughter.I HIGHLY recommend going there!! 😃

I love this shop so much! Please go for their Friday the 13th specials if you are looking for some spooky fun. But regardless, this place never disappoints. They are clean, friendly, and their staff is so much fun. I got my work today done by @jordanmtattoo who BANGED it out.

Ive gotten 3/4 of my tattoos at this shop and I love it. The vibes are always really good and both of my artists were amazing. I love their Friday the 13th sale and Im super excited for the next one! They always have some kind of deal or event which makes my wallet happy :)I also got my septum pierced here and it went super well! I had a hard time finding a piercer that would do it because my septum is super deviated. The whole process took like 5 minutes and it was only $20.

I have gotten six tattoos from Live Through This Tattoos. Every time I have gotten one I have been extremely satisfied. The staff are always nice and accommodating to any request I have for a tattoo.

I’m definitely not one to normally post I’m so guilty of it ! But I just have to say my tattoo artist was amazing and made me feel so relaxed I lost my brother to suicide 2 years ago and I was just super nervous to pay 36$ for a tattoo that was truly so meaningful to me but I took a chance and I’m so grateful it came out amazing! Thank you Tim you’re awesome!

I went to get my Friday the 13th tattoo and my artist was Jordan and let’s just say he did amazing I didn’t even have to ask him to make the tattoo better he just did. He was super sweet and even helped me when I started not feeling too well all in all I would recommend him he was the best!

First time at this place and was a great experience! The staff was so friendly and chill, the shop was clean and welcoming. We will definitely make the travel again to get our piercing shout out to Mandi!! Shes your gal for piercings

I came to this place for the Friday the 13th special and received a rain-check, so I returned the last day to redeem it with my boyfriend. The atmosphere was nice, organized, clean, and most employees seemed friendly. The woman at the front desk came off distant, however. I went in thinking I would choose a design from an art book since it was my first tattoo and I didnt know what to expect. I rushed myself to pick a design online because no one gave me the option to look at an art book even after I expressed I wasnt sure what I wanted. Granted, I should have done my research on the website or should have asked for a book... For the most part, I was nervous and felt rushed to pick something. Plus, I trusted the artist would do well with a simple, small design. The artist, Orfen, was nice and made me feel comfortable, but I came out of the studio feeling very dissatisfied with the end result. Not only was I hoping for something smaller, the tattoo is off from the picture I provided. The artist even took creative liberties and shaded it without asking me. I think my tattoo is too dark and incredibly uneven which is upsetting because it is my first one. At this point, I plan to go to another studio to have it touched up and colored in so it doesnt look so bad. The bottom line is, I wish there was a consultation of some sort to explain the size of the tattoo and to set clear guidelines on what the customer expects. A tattoo is a big commitment and that should be stressed heavily before it is applied, especially for a first-time customer. Since it was my first time, I was nervous and anxious to get it over with so I wasnt thinking straight. Not only that, I think an art book is important because artists should stick to what they are good at and know. One positive thing did come out of this experience: I learned to never get a $13 tattoo and to ask more questions.

I got my anti-eyebrow pierced just the other day, and while Im so happy with the piercing itself, the customer service was awful. I went with a friend, and right off the bat the receptionist was rude to me. Furthermore, they ignored my friend completely until we were able to flag them down again. After entering the piercing area, the piercer herself straight up expressed her distaste for the day. She was visibly upset and told her apprentice and I that she was having a bad day, which is not something you tell to someone youre about to put a needle in. After redoing placement to my liking, she pierced me and I expressed that it felt super easy, and instead of being positive, she simply told me just wait, as if she wanted me to be in pain during the process of putting the surface bar in. I understand if she was having a bad day, but no one who puts needles in other people should lose professionalism during their job. Literally will never come back. Two stars because the lighting is cool.

I have gotten 2 tattoos here and I love them! Great customer service and very accommodating. Elias did my daughters footprint for me, my husbands weeping angel and tattoos for my dad and sister in law as well. All the tattoos have come out the way we want and have not been disappointed in the work done. 10/10 is what I would rate the all around experience.

Absolutely love this shop! Mandi is the best when it comes to piercings she’s done most of mine and I’m always in love with them. She’s quick and knows what she’s doing. She is my go to person.

Mandi was awesome!!! Did a piercing for my daughter, looks great she was professional and quick!!!

My boyfriend and I both got pierced by Mae! I was nervous to get my nostril pierced, but she made it very easy! Piercing was literally done in 3 seconds! It has also healed very nicely & I’m very happy with it. Would definitely recommend to get your piercings done with her.

Got my septum pierced by mae back in 2022! Quick easy and everyone in the shop had kind customer service. I haven’t had an issue with my piercing at all shoutout to mae ! great piercer !

Awesome experience for my entire group getting tattoos. Eric and Jimmy were super friendly and patient, definitely recommend!

My nose piercing is very cute. However, I was deeply unsatisfied with the customer service. I can understand if someone is having a bad day, but that’s no excuse to treat a paying customer passive aggressively and just all around rude. Regardless of how you’re feeling in any job, you’re supposed to remain professional and that was not the case. I have a left nose piercing and came in to get my right side. I just wanted to ensure both sides were equal and the piercer made me uncomfortable and rushed. Furthermore, I asked if she could correct the placement marking but she insisted it was right while I was clearly unsure and uncomfortable. Not only that, I had an excessive amount of blood that was the result of the piercing. Mind you, I have already gotten a nose piercing before and my previous piercer did not cause as much bleeding. Moral of the story, you get what you pay for.

I am absolutely I love with this place!! There is no other shop that I will go to besides here the girls there are badass!!

Went Saturday for a septum piercing and small tattoo. Wonderful shop! Loved the atmosphere and the front desk is very organized even as busy as they were! Very fair prices and my septum came out very nice! I know I’m difficult to tattoo or pierce as i have a movement disorder, but the piercing was quick and painless and has been since i got it! I was very comfortable with my piercer and would definitely return for any future ones or jewelry changes! My little spooder tattoo has some shaky spots and may need a touch up later but my inner forearms tend to be a bit difficult. Nothing a touch up won’t fix. I still love her! Will definitely return here!

Highly recommended reasonable prices very nice people love you (JAMES) love them to them fullest 💜💯It makes you feel like home they make you feel welcome its a very comfortable and beautiful place

Mandi did my belly piercing and she was the best !! It was only her doing piercings but she was very communicative with everyone that came in !! She gave me all the information I needed for my piercing. Would definitely go back for her to do more of my piercings!!

Recommend by a friend went to get my ear pierced just wish the lady in the short hair was more gentle how she performed the piercing:(. She was a little to rough and was hurting my ears a lot kept tugging and pulling my ear, overall they have good deals just wish she can be more gentle and careful. My ear been bruised for a few days. I know with these deals there’s a lot of people and overwhelming but But please be more gentle to people when getting ears pierced

This is my go to place!! I ALWAYS come here for tattoos and piercings. I got my first tattoo here and dont regret it. The four piercing I’ve gotten from here have healed amazing and my tattoo as well. Recently I came here for the 20$ tattoo special and it was awesome. My artist Angel was amazing and made sure I was comfortable and did a fantastic job - my tattoos are healing just right. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a first time tattoo or piercing or any tattoos/piercings. I’m never disappointed here and will always come back.

Bought a raincheck for 4 piercings during the Friday the 13th sale. It took 3 visits in order for me to get them done due to unknown issues when I arrived. I wasnt given the option of upgrading my jewelry and wound up with basic titanium earrings that seemed to be meant for dermal piercings, not earlobes. They stuck out uncomfortably from my ears and got stuck in my hair. I wound up having to replace the earrings after 2 days because they fell out. I did enjoy talking to the piercer. She was friendly and informative.

Just got another piercing from Mandi ,she so fast &nice ,I do recommend!

Brought a couple of my friends here for us to all get piercings and we had a great experience. The atmosphere is great and the staff are really friendly and inviting. The prices are great, you won’t find a more perfect place to get pierced. Mandi was super friendly and very professional, I definitely recommend her to anyone wanting hardcore or just casual piercings!

I came here and got my first tattoo of my cat that recently passed away. And everyone was helpful and very nice. I got my tattoo done by Rudy and he did an amazing job! When I decide to get another tattoo. I will for sure come back here and get Rudy to do it again.

My artist Mandie Mae was amazing very professional and gave me everything I would need to feel at ease she done all my piercings on me and always give then the best service. She also done my daughter ear piercing we look forward for some teen piercings coming soon. She was just the best. Thank you for providing me the best services ever.

Went on Friday to get my septum and earlobes pierced and my piercer was Mandi. She honestly did amazing and she was super quick . My piercings seem to be doing well. I will for sure be coming to Mandi for more piercings when I’m in town! And I love that the piercings are affordable here!

The deals are good and what not, but the customer service sucks. I went to get a nose piercing and they didn’t even tell me what size or anything I got. 20 days later my jewelry started going inside (the piece was too small) so I went to get help and get a new jewelry and the lady up front didn’t want to help me. I asked if she could help because i’m not really sure of the sizing and she didn’t want help at all she just told me to pick it myself. They were charging me to get someone to change the jewelry, never heard of that either. So i guess at the end of they day it’s cheap and all but you get what you paid for … I left of course and went to this place which was obviously way better! Won’t ever come back. Tattoos sucked too, too thick.

The tattoo shop is very professional and nice. The owner is nice as well and interacts with the customers. The experience was well and I would recommended to everyone.

I got my nipples pierced here, very good experience! Welcoming, clean, and great staff. Piercing staff, specifically Mandi, very patient with questions and a great piercer. My piercings have been healing well and staff are easy to reach for post-piercing questions. (Which is very helpful for a first-time body piercing.)

Went there to get a tattoo and the girl that was there took my info and everything just to tell me that i needed my id card she should of told me about the id card before i put my info down on paper now ill i have to worry if she, ll use my info

I love this place....really good service...i love my tattoos...thanks guys...definitely going for my 3rd tattoo...

They made me pay extra for it being on my hand and said it mentioned this on the ad but it most certainly did not. Anyway, I think these photos summarize pretty well. Go at your own riskEdit to respond to the business’ reply: my problem isn’t that I spent extra money, my problem is I spent extra money for an ugly tattoo that I could have done (and have done in the past) better myself for free at home. And it didn’t say anywhere on the website that it cost extra for hand tattoos or I would have chosen something else. You expect me to read the 10,000 signs in your store? With grammar and spelling issues similar to this response below? Any normal person would have a stroke lol.Since this company wants to throw a tantrum instead of owning up to their mistake, I would also like to add: I was not given aftercare instructions, though I do have plenty of tattoos and know how to heal them (multiple tattoos on my hand as well since you don’t think I know how that works), he did not shave my hand first, and this is not faded. It’s freshly healed as of a week ago. Absolute waste of my money.I think this goes to show my original review stands~ even more so now. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Orfen and Rudy did great on giving my daughter and me the tattos we wanted!

The experience here was amazing! I got my piercing done by Mandi and she was so sweet, she worked very fast and engaged with me while doing my piercing, which really made me feel less pain. I’m definitely making this my go to place

Elias did this STUNNING piece on my back today! Im beyond impressed and if I wasnt leaving San Antonio Id be back ASAP. Thanks for everything!

I just got my first tattoo here and the tattoo artist Justin Y. was so nice and reassuring. He gave me a paper so I remember the aftercare of tattoos. He made my first experience good, Ill be coming back for my next tattoo and piercing ! It helped they offer free drinks and snacks. Theyre also LGBTQ friendly :)

The staff are amazing! The front staff helped me get the prefect size for where and what tattoo I wanted. Super friendly & easy to talk to. I wish I wouldve gotten the name of my artist because he was awesome; made sure I was comfortable, since my placing was kinda in an awkward spot, easy to talk to aswell and had about 5 years experience. The pricing is absolutely reasonable for the result and experience 🖤

Straight forward, you know what to expect, the website is more informative then attractive. I appreciate that. Not much availability when trying to call them. They are very very busy. Prices are great, they have sales all the time. Rudy is the best artist there. This is my go to spot. Highly recommend, stop shopping around go here.

Tattoo artist are all great! Owner is awesome person!!

Took my teenage daughters for piercings, they were done perfectly, no issues at all.

Took my girls for an ear and nose piercing. And I was impressed. Jodi was the piercer and was awesome talking to them all the way through explaining everything and just b.s.ing making them feel relaxed. The place was clean and the staff was friendly as soon as we walked in the door. I definitely recommend.

As per usual live through this tattoo did amazing ❤️ every time I go my experience has been wonderful! Today I got my ears re pierced by Crystal ( thanks mom for taking me to Claire’s at 8 years old 😞) and got my nipples pierced. She is very professional and quick as well very helpful with all my questions I ask 🙂 I will always come back. Also the front desk girl is so sweet and discussed with me proper stretching techniques for my ears 😌

Had a great first time experience in the shop. Friendly staff and conversations. There was no rough handling and the piercer made sure I was comfortable when he did my belly button. The process was so fast that I did not feel pain at all. They have great deals on piercings as well. Definitely recommend. 😃

I was visiting from Massachusetts so I just HAD to get a tattoo. I ended up communicating with James via email to set up an appointment and talk to him about what I was looking to get - he answered so quickly and was so friendly. Amazing customer service here! Elias ended up doing my tattoo when I arrived. He customized my tattoo exactly how I described it to him and gave me some of his professional input on it as well which was awesome. He did such a phenomenal job in such little time. I am beyond impressed with this shop - I have been to several other shops within several different states and this one definitely made a lasting impact and trumps all. Would recommend this place to anybody with out hesitation. Thank you for giving me such a beautiful piece of art.

My grandma got her nosed pierced by Jodi and it was a great experience. There were several ppl ahead of us and I watched Jodi treat everyone with respect, nobody was rushed, and everyone was very happy with the service they received. Then when it was my grandmas turn, Jodi again was very kind, respectful, and professional. We will definitely be back. Jodi is highly recommended!

Went in today to get my three nose piercings & the piercer/manager Joshua or (Jodi ) did amazing !!!!!! I absolutely loved my piercings. It was quick and easy and he also gave me candy when I was feeling dizzy lol . It’s a very comfortable setting and very CHEAP ! I would recommend this business to anybody. Everything about this place is 10/10 they make sure you are nice and comfortable and they make everything quick and painless as possible. Most definitely coming back for my ear piercings and probably more. I am obsessed with my piercings already lol💗 thank you guys again !!!!

Very clean.. great prices..staff is professional and knowledgeable.. snacks are on point I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a tattoo or piercings

Angel did a great job with not only my tattoo but making sure I was comfortable during it. I booked an appointment online that same day and they were able to fit me in (even with the Firday the 13th deal craziness). Environment was really friendly and will definitely return for later tattoos.

I had a great experience until I went to the back and got my piercings. The lady was highly rude for no reason it was all in her tone and with specials like theirs Im sure she deals with a lot but dont take it out on me! She needs to work on her people skills but other than that Im a happy customer overall.

I had a great experience when I went had my chest tattoo done! Elias came up with a wonderful set of birds based off a suggestion image I sent. Was very considerate to my pain tolerance and did an absolutely phenomenal job on my tattoos it’s one of favorite tattoos I have! And if definitely plan to go back to get more work done from him! The staff is super welcoming and nice!

I’ve gotten multiple piercings from this locationnnnn, and I love it!!! Very clean and professional. Everybody is welcoming. Love it

I had a wonderful experience here. I’m very particular about things and everyone was so patient with my requests and questions. Elias did my tattoos and absolutely nailed them. He’s great with fine line work, as well as a billion other styles. If you go in, definitely ask about his portfolio so that you can see his skill firsthand! He was also extremely friendly so I was completely comfortable under his needle.

I got 2 tattoos done by Justin for the Friday the 13th sale. The experience was great, great music. He helped with a breathing technique to make the pain of the tattoo bearable and easier. He also used a type of numbing soap while working on me, so very little to no pain. I felt very comfortable, thank you Justin. Will be booking him to get more done.

Best place ever. Customer service is great. I will be recommending this place to all my colleagues

I have never had the best luck when it comes to tattoos, I have had severe infections, and my skin will sometimes reject the ink (and yes I always follow aftercare instructions and take good care of it). So when my girlfriends of over 20+ years suggested we all get a friendship tatt, I was all for it naturally you know, cuz why not!?!? Lol. I have to say, this was by far the best experience! The staff was very pleasant, and accommodating. Rudy did all of our tattoos, and he was great. My tattoo is still in the healing process but it looks and feels great. We are only 3 days out from the tattoo but usually by now I would have redness, swelling and pain. Not this time! I don’t even feel it, and the color looks great! I also decided to do a third ear piercing while waiting and Jodi did awesome! Made me feel super comfortable and it was pain free. When I got my second hole (at another place) it was painful after and I almost took them out. I honestly keep forgetting I even got them done because they don’t hurt at all. Idk what they do different here but it works! If I could rate them a 10 I would! Can’t wait to go back n see if they can fix some of my other tattoos that I have been embarrassed to show off for years! Thanks for giving me hope, y’all are the best!!! Worth the 2 hr travel to get there!

The piercer was amazing! I think their name was Jaime but too sure, but super nice, professional, and considerate. They gave my daughter plenty of time to regain her balance after getting light-headed from 3 piercings and gave her candy. They also have complimentary drinks and snacks.

Everyone was super awesome in the front! Everything was going pretty smoothly like any other shop that I’ve been to. Once I headed to the back the piercer’s Attitude changed and had an Attitude the whole entire time. He also had problem with me correcting the placement of the nose piercings I got. He proceeded to take a FaceTime call during the piercing session which I thought was super unprofessional and distracting. I understand that the service industry is tough but please do better!

I have 2 tattoos from here and will definitely be returning. The atmosphere is amazing, clean restrooms. They provide snacks and drinks plus everyone is very chill and friendly. Always honest too!! They do Friday 13 tattoos and I believe they even have sales during pride month so they’re lgbt friendly! Hoping to get my next piece soon! My best friend has even gotten the inside of her lip tattooed here with no problems!

I loved the environment, and the employees as well. My tattoo artist Angel, was amazing made sure I was comfortable and did an amazing job! I can’t wait to go back to finish my tattoo! I seriously recommend this shop I’ve been look everywhere to have my tattoo done and these guys are my go to for my tattoos now! Thank y’all so much!

I got a tattoo done by Elias and he is by far the best tattoo artist I have ever met!Very clean, professional and great work.He went above my expectations with the work he performed I will definitely be coming back to him!

Elias did quick, amazing work on both me and my husband. We have been to their shop multiple times and every time is awesome! They are always friendly helpful and work with you with whatever you need. We make it a point to go there every time we visit San Antonio, its totally worth the drive!

Decent prices, be prepared to go up stairs

Went in on Saturday 10/28/2023Got 2 tattoos done by JordanI must say I am very pleased and I have received plenty of compliments on my new tattoosThank you Jordan

I CANNOT say enough good things about this shop, having moved states multiple times I have always struggled to find a new shop I love, from plain rude artists or over priced shops, but this shop is my new tattoo home. A lot of friends have shied away from the location/area but let me tell you this shop is nothing but professional! Their prices are more than fair (tip your artists people) and the staff is amazing. I just finished my second piece a 6x6 for $285 and any other shop would’ve taken 2-3 hours and Sunny did it in an hour and a half and knocked it out of the park ! It was an upper thigh and they put up a divider so I would be more comfortable. She does amazing work and I highly recommend her ! I’ll be back for more and already paid for my new 3x3! I will mention I was a walk in and was in the chair within 30 minutes on a Friday ! Worth the drive and the money, cannot wait for my next piece

Great overall experience. I love my tattoos that I have added from here. This is my second time here and definitely not my last. The area is clean. Restroom is clean. Staff is great. Artists are great. They have cute little stress balls, snacks, and drinks for their clients. They help with cover ups, piercings, portraits, and even will clean up someone elses work. They are LGBT+ friendly and typically have great specials.

I had the best piercing experience! Madi was excellent and very f***ing cool with the piercing and all the info. I would definitely recommend and I would most definitely go back again. I love my piercing and the friendliness of the people there. Definitely ask for Madi

Visiting from out of town and my friend and I went in today for her rain check and I decided to get the piercings I’ve always wanted. The girl at the front was kind even though I was extremely nervous and got me back as quick as possible so I would stop freaking my self out. The piercer was incredibly professional and kind and let me lay down while she does it since I am so nervous and scared I’d pass out. She talked to me to calm me down and helped me more than she knows through the process. I love the outcome of them so far and excited for them to heal. Thank you so much for fitting us into your schedule before we had to fly home and I look forward to making this place a stop anytime we’re in town!

The desk staff was friendly it just felt a little jumbled given half their staff was upstairs. If the communication was better not just with staff but between us getting tattoos and staff it would make the trip to this location worth it. My tattoo isn’t exactly what I envisioned and part of it was lack of communication, which I take responsibility for part of that. Overall the experience was ok the staff’s friendliness was a plus and so were the snacks available!

They have to use $10 piercings to get desperate people to use their business. The jewelry is cheap and the piercers have literally said they don’t know how to pierce or know everything about piercing. Go somewhere reputable and that is APP certified. If you want a peek into this business, take a look at their trashy responses to reviews.

I love live through this! They always have great deals and do such an amazing job! I always recommend them.

My husband and I have received several tattoos from Live through this tattoo. As well as our entire family. They do really good work and are always professional. They give you their honest opinion. This place is clean and has a great and enjoyable atmosphere. We will be returning for more tattoos.

Had a great experience staff very friendly very professinol i would recomend anyone to come great place

Totally would recommend this place. The quality of the tattoo is fantastic! And the price was BEYOND reasonable!!!

Jordan did my tattoo and he was great! Honestly my favorite thing about him was he didn’t have an attitude about doing a bunch of small Friday the 13th tattoos! I always feel like a burden with most tattoo artist because I can’t afford a $600 tattoo. When I asked Jordan if he was tired of doing ghost tattoos his response was “I love tattooing! No matter what it is.” And I LOVE that! ❤️Will definitely go back to him!

I got pierced by mae both the times she was awesome especially her small space is dope, and shes very gentle!

Came here for the 1st tattoo and yesterday my septum! I was so nervous but Iris up front was so nice and calmed my anxiety and piercer Jodi was so sweet and made it painless! Love these people here and recommend any service!

Had an awesome experience. Very beautiful tattoo done by Emir. The girl at front desk was so kind & knowledgeable as I was a newbie to a tattoo shop. I will definitely return for my next tattoo. The place was super clean and they even had snacks for the waiting customers. They rocked!

I have about 5 tattoos from here and I love all of them. They have an amazing loyalty program and good prices for good work. Elias and Emir are my go tos. Piercings are great too. Ive gotten two from here and they healed fast and with no issues. Cant recommend this place enough

The staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is great. They seem to run some kind of special every week. I got a Monroe and my nose pierced today. Will be back in the future to try them out for a tattoo.

Amazing! The staff at check in were amazing! Mandi, my piercer, was fantastic and practically made getting my nipples done easy and painless! Clean, friendly experience and definitely will go back for more!

I love love love Mandi the piercer! I drive from Dallas/Fort Worth just for my piercings from her. I have got 10 piercings from her. They all heal really quickly. I have to change to gold earrings bc Im allergic to others but they heal so fast, Im able to change them out super quick. I have got my nose, daith, 3rd holes double forward helix, transverse lobes and tragus done. I am pretty picky about my piercing placement. Mandi has no problem remarking if I change my mind. She is quick, thorough, and absolutely amazing. I have also got 8 tattoos from this shop. Love it!!

Awesome staff! Great environment and they offer so much; so many deals and specials, you never know when the owner, James, will have something going on for the month. Definitely check them out! 💥Tattoo artist, Elias, is amazing, just FYI.✨

Came here with my mother and sister today for matching tattoos which was my first tattoo. The wait was short and the staff was very friendly and answered every question we had. Our artist Elias was very kind and the work he did came out beautifully. Well definitely be returning for our next ones hopefully soon.

Coolest people, they offer great promotions all year long. Jodi did my septum and I love it, Angel did one of my tattoos and its perfect. Very down to earth people in the shop

Went and got a very simple tattoo design today with Tim (nice guy no complaints on him just the art) I expected a better outcome for this tattoo since it was so simple but it’s so crooked and the moons are different sizes. Tim kind of just threw the template on without even seeing if it was straight or not and just started going at it. For someone who’s been doing tattoos for 15 years, this piece sure made it look like he was a beginner. 10/10 would not come back if my artist was Tim again. I’m not too mad cause it’s a $20 tattoo but I did expect more from such a simple design.I forgot to mention the fact that he was super heavy handed on both mine and my partners pieces. I can’t reply to your message, but you need to take responsibility instead of getting upset at every single bad review. She didn’t move once throughout the whole tattoo, your artist however kept getting up and moving in different spots. Take some responsibility for once your artists aren’t as good as you think.

You walk in and James make you feel so welcome. Elias is an amazing tattoo artist, hes done 2 tattoos for me and Im already planning my next one with him. Sunny is hilarious and has terrific handwriting, if I have any poems, I am definitely coming to her. I recommend this shop if youre looking for a great tattoo!

I love this tattoo and piercing shop, I’ve came here for most my piercings and it’s always an easy process for a good price! :)

Always friendly service and they always have great deals going on! Shotout to my Artist Rudy who did an awesome job on both my tattoos! Go see them and ask for Rudy!

Recently went into this shop to get a Medusa piercing by Mandi after finding her Instagram page (maes.smallshop) and seeing her awesome work!I had the most efficient and comfortable experience. The piercing was $20 and my visit was no longer than 25 min.Mandi was professional, kind, and very gentle! Her personality was very comforting and her swift hands had me rocking an awesome piercing in no time!Would definitely recommend her to anyone whos looking to get a piercing!(I went alone and felt safe/comfortable)

Emir did an incredible job on my arm. Will definitely be back for more. While at the shop, I noticed how attentive the artists were, making sure that every tattoo came out exactly how the person wanted. It shows in their work just how passionate they are. Emir worked with me, tossing ideas back and forth to create an amazing piece. I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for some new ink.

Mandi is great ! Never had a piercer that cared and took pride in what she does. I will be going back again. So I definitely will recommend Its Live Through This Tattoo for tats or piercings. Thanks Mandi great job chick!!!

My wife and I have been here 3 times already and each time we are amazed when we see how our tattoos come out. Everyone is super nice and informative about what they are doing. You get what you pay for and we never leave here thinking we paid “too much”. Also if you follow them on Facebook they always have specials going on.

I’ve come multiple times with my family and love everything about this place! The piercer , Nika i believe her name is, is always incredibly patient and kind! She was outstanding with my younger sisters. Definitely a cool spot that offers snacks with a cool waiting area. definitely going back!

Staff does great work! They almost always have some great specials going! My only advice is remember with great deals come long wait times. Dont whine about it cause these artists are cutting you a good deal. Plan your day accordingly.

Come here for a tattoo if you know exactly what you want and don’t require any collaboration with the artist or want them to take any artistic liberty. I have gotten three tattoos there, and they turned out fine but only because they were very simple tattoos that I was able to provide a picture for. As soon as you you try to make it any sort of a two-sided discussion, you will get blank stares. Why have I gotten three, you ask? They are cheaper than anyone else I’ve found. So if it’s simple and you have a picture for them to copy, this place is just for you.As for piercings, my wife got her daith and nose done. The piercer? Piercist? Piercifier? Did t even ask what jewel she wanted or check to see if there were any specific requests or questions. She just quickly did both piercings and went back to sitting behind the counter looking at her phoneAs for piercings

Dont recommend to get piercings here at least not your septum. I got my septum pierced here 3 months ago and I was still having pain and discomfort. I had also developed a bump on my left nostril. I came to this other shop to get the bump checked out and come to find out, all my problems stemmed from it being pierced in the wrong spot. Instead of it being in the thin tissue, it was in the more dense. I decided to take it out. I will never go back to this shop. Piercer is inexperienced.

I have gone to many tattoo shops and Live through this is always welcoming. I don’t feel that pressure or judgement that I have in other shops. The pricing is wonderfully reasonable and the artists do amazing work. I’ve had about ten tattoos done here and am so satisfied with the work. They sell a variety of products and are knowledgeable in piercing and tattooing. I am a lifelong customer.

This was my first piercing and they were all so nice, it was a quick and easy process and they let me know everything that was going on and made sure i was ready. i would absolutely recommend!

Me, my boyfriend and his best friend and her daughter and my daughter have all come here and had nothing but good experiences, the staff is great the tattoo artists are talented and the owner/piercing person is super sweet and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
