Primal Instinct Tattoo

Goose was really great doing my two dermal piercings. Very nice & quick. Very clean environment! Highly recommend for your piercing needs. Very reasonable pricing.

Goose is by far the most experienced and knowledgeable piercer I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. His instructions are very direct and to-the-point, and in the two times Ive spoken with him, hes been incredibly kind.I went in to have my lobe redone. So far, Im a few days in, and its been healing great.Cost wise, it might be a tiny bit higher than other places, but you really do get what you pay for. Im more than thrilled and will happily go back for any other piercings I may get in the future.

Puppet was amazing! First tattoo and he made it a great experience! Definitely coming back to him!

Very good experience i got tattooed by Puppet very clean, fast, painless experinceWll definitely be back to get more!!! Definitely recommend

Stopped by to get my ears re-pierced. I was recommended Goose by a friend of mine, and am very happy with the service I was provided. He was very patient and made sure I understood everything he explained to me. I have a touch of ADHD and my processing is slow sometimes. He was very understanding and took his time with me. Im on the 2nd week of healing ad began having some issues with swelling around one of my piercing. I reached out to Goose and he met me on Sunday, even though the shop is closed, and checked the piercing as well asswitched out the earring for me for mo additional charge. The place is also VERY clean and comfortable. Id give pran a 5 if I could .

Took my daughter for her birthday to get her ears pierced. Goose was patient, professional, informative before prepping her ear. He kept it lighthearted and hilarious. Awesome job

Puppet is an amazing artist & incredibly kindhearted. he was able to squeeze in a small memorial piece for me on one of the most emotionally draining days of my life, and i can’t thank him enough. he’s incredibly funny, light handed and straightforward. i wholeheartedly recommend him & this shop!

Amazing tattoo place! Puppet is very friendly and it’s enjoyable to have a conversation while getting a tattoo. He did an amazing job and I am in love with my new tattoos 😍❤️ Best tattoo shop in Victoria without question.

Amazing!! They took me as a walk-in (I got my septum and lobes pierced) Goose was so nice and professional with everything. The price was more than fair- overall great place! :)

Excellent experience here...everything was clean and sanitized and Puppet did an amazing job on my ink, I absolutely love it. Cant wait to go back and get more work done. Would definitely recommend the shop to anyone in the Victoria area thats looking for their next tattoo.

Very professional and helpful. Sam Hernandez was understanding in getting it done the way i wanted; flexible with last minute changes. He worked to make a confident decision and overall had a great experience there. Cool dude and Super clean as well.

The best and most calming peirceing experience Ive ever had! Goose knows what hes doing for a fact👍🏻almost didnt feel a thing! Top teir quality jewelry and affordable priceing.

Goose was five stars! I have been hesitant on getting my nose pierced cause of the reviews for other places with attitude and prices. But I seen good reviews on goose and his attitude overall. Super glad I chose him. Made me comfortable throughout the whole thing and his after care explanation was great. $30 bucks for the piercing. Can’t beat that. Thanks goose!

Puppet has me wanting to plan a whole sleeve!! Very clean business!!

The piercer was professional, thorough, and funny. He also took the time to explain every minute detail of everything that he was going to do, and even gave me solid advice on my anatomy for which piercing would be best. I would recommend coming here for any body modification of any kind.

Got a piercing done by Goose who came highly recommended and loved the experience! He was very kind & professional and made me feel comfortable every step of the way! The office and equipment was clean & sanitized and Ill definitely be going back for every piercing in the future!

I have had a few pieces done at this shop already and every time they do amazing pieces.They work well with their customers, and do custom work for you. they are a bit more expensive than other shops but the quality and service are well worth the price. Puppet even did a touch up on my first one from him at a later date for a spot that was missed and didn’t charge for it. Will definitely be returning yet again

Came in around 12 or 1pm after work because I read they do walk-in piercings. Was greeted by Goose who provided me a mask, which is good to know they care about COVID unlike the other tattoo/piercing places.The room for piercing was very clean, like a doctors office and Goose was very kind and charismatic.He explained all the aftercare info, was patient with questions, and professional in demeanor as well as piercing skill.Gave the store minus one star because the tattoo prices are insane. A tattoo no matter how small and simple will run you over a hundred dollars.This will definitely still be my go-to store for piercings though.

Goose did my septum and lord was he the best!! felt so at ease the whole time and extremely happy with results ⭐️

Went for a tattoo from Puppet, it was a thigh and hip tattoo. I was made at home and I was very comfortable even though I had to basically be half naked lol. The tat barely hurt and there is no bleeding so Im sure it will heal well. Puppet cared about me as a person, we exchanged life stories and he even gave me advice like a dad😂 absolutely recommend Primal Instinct and Puppet!

LOVE GUSTAV (may have spelled his name wrong) he is so gentle. I just got done getting my lip pierced and it barley hurt. Love the way he explains things as well. Hes done other piercings for me as well and compared to others hes the most gentle one.

Got a new tattoo from Puppet, great dude. Love my new ink. Very clean facility, and everyone is very professional. If youre in the market for what they do I would definitely highly recommend them. Needless to say I had a great experience.

I love this place! The owner, Puppet, did my tattoo. He is very professional, and checks in on you throughout the process to make sure you are comfortable. The chairs are super comfortable and they even have tv’s in each tattoo room where you can listen to music or watch your favorite movie or show. Most importantly I love my artwork! I gave him an idea, he drew it up and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined!!!

Goose was amazing! Knowledgeable, professional and a great guy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a piercing.

So I wanted to get my nose pierced and I looked into it for a while. I am so glad I chose primal. Very informative and patient with me, the client. Keep it clean, dont touch and keep it out of gross places. Thank you for giving me a piece of myself back. When you never a mom it is easy to lose yourself. This new piercing is me. ❤️❤️

Outstanding service , Great customer care , would highly recommend, goose was more then happy to help me with an issue I was having with a piercing.

Walked in and out in 30 minutes or less for my nose piercing with Goose ☺️ super friendly and clean environment ☺️ if I lived in Victoria, this would be my go to place ☺️

Goose is a great piercer. I go to him for all new piercings. I take my family and friends to him as well.

I just got an industrial piercing here and the experience was perfect!! The piercer was not only professional but also hilarious. The piercing was done fast and clean and there wasnt much pain. I will definitely be coming back here for any future piercings. Thank you!!!

I love seeing Jayden for my tattoos shes so sweet , very friendly , kind , super comfortable to be around and I just went recently to get my septum pierced and Goose was awesome , very thorough , very friendly and very understanding!

Got my face tattoo last minute, puppet fit me in. Amazing work, constantly checking to make sure I was good, light hand. I have never had such an amazing experience getting work done! Definitely found my new artist!!

I have over 100 hours of work and 99% of it has been done by Puppet at Primal Instinct. I live in Austin, TX and have access to hundreds of artists, but I trust Puppet’s creativity, professionalism, artistic ability, and safe/sterile practices above anyone... same goes for his entire staff. It’s where I recommend all of my family and friends go. I can’t recommend Primal Instinct enough.

First of all I suggest if you are wanting a tattoo or piercing check out Primal Instinct first. It is a good clean place that you can trust to give you the quality any person would want in a tattoo or piercing, Primal Instinct is the place to go. First impression of walking in is like a doctors office everything is very organized and clean and the people there really want to make sure that each client is comfortable and taken care of properly. This is one of, if not the best places to go for a tattoo or piercing.

Anytime I went in to get tattooed, I was greeted with a smile. The shop was very clean and I always felt welcomed. I loved the privacy I had with all artists in their own rooms. I’ve always left pleased with the artwork I received and will be definitely going back.

Goose did my first ever piercing and he talked me through everything i needed to know and made sure i knew everything about the piercing and how to take care of it, will definitely go here again for my future piercings!

Place is very clean, would highly recommend this place to anyone. The staff there are very nice especially Gus he was very nice explained the process and what we were going to do step by step on the piercing.

The shop is a super chill environment and Puppet is a good dude who does excellent work. I’ll definitely be back👍🏻

Incredibly nice, Goose was super patient with us and really funny, great bedside manner. Totally reccomend!

This was my first time getting a tattoo and the staff was very friendly and awesome to talk to. Puppet was outstanding to have a conversation with and his work was great as well 10/10 would recommend!!!

Very nice, clean, and professional place. There were very good about explaining how we should care for the piercing and answering any questions. Would definitely use them again.

Very happy. He explained things very well. Very clean and sanitized.Edit: in march i went and got snake bites from another piercer and different shop. Turns out they measured my vertical labret and it’s off center on my face, but it’s okay since goose asked me if the placement was okay and I said yes. It was my first facial piercing and I just wish I knew to get him to measure my lip first before sticking the needle in. You’d think I’d know but the excitement of getting my first facial piercing clouded my thoughts. Lol!

Puppet is definitely the best around, I’ve been going to him for a couple years now and he puts out great work every time

Ill admit Im biased as I work here, but Ill say that I would not have agreed to work here unless they had stellar reputation for fair dealing, artistic excellence, and clean practices which they have. Since joining up, that reputation has been solidly confirmed. Glad to be part of the team.

Puppet and the crew at Primal Instinct are professional artists who take pride in all aspects of their work, from being great artists to being top notch on cleanliness and following all guidelines for keeping them and their customers safe.You can not go wrong with Primal Instinct!

Probably one of the best artist I know is Puppet from primal instinct. I highly recommend, and appreciate all that he has done. Go to Primal Instinct Tattoo for great work.

Very clean & sterile. The shop is doing a great job at taking covid precautions. Love my new septum piercing!

One on one attention at the appointment and always going the extra mile to make my tattoo work unique and personal, as well as a clean and well kept safe environment, I love Primal.

Puppet was the absolute best ! He made sure I was taken care of with gentle hands, great movies and great humor!

Very clean. Great experience! Got my daughters nose pierced and he was so thorough in explaining everything she needed to know

Goose pierced my ears and nose. The best part is that he stresses sanitation to avoid infection!

Puppet was absolutely amazing, great guy to talk to and does amazing work!

Goose was amazing at explaining everything and the customer service was awesome!! so happy with my experience and piercing.

I have many many tattoos, this is the best place I have ever been. Puppet is amazing 😍. Highly recommend

Jayden is awesome and the place is really nice, clean, and well kept. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for an amazing tattoo.
