I originally found Nick Alverez to do my chest piece. it was such great work I havent gone to another artist since! Since, he has completed my torso, given me a sleeve, is now working on my back, and I made a rad friend along the way. His work is creative but is true to great traditional Japanese work. Needless to say I receive many compliments to which I deserve no credit, other than going back to Nick! read more

Allegiance Tattoo is a phenomenal shop because of the artists and their quality of work. I've been getting tattooed by Dru since 2017 and I'm almost finished with a full bodysuit. Dru has worked meticulously throughout the process and it's been an amazing experience. Danielle is also a phenomenal artist and person. Even though I haven't been tattooed by her, I've been going there long enough to see the quality of her work as well. She has tattooed friends of mine who absolutely love what she's done. You can't really go wrong here because they love what they do and it shows. Just take a look at some of my photos or check them out on Instagram!! @allegiancetattoo @drubias @daniellemarietattoos read more

Best shop in town by far! Dru, Danielle and Nick all specialize in Japanese and they put a lot of love into their craft. I wouldn't think twice about going here to get tattooed. You will not be disappointed! read more

Allegiance Tattoo - Namakubi / severed head by Nick Alvarez - Tattoo Near Me - The Colony, Texas

I've been going to Allegiance for all of my large pieces since the shop opened in 2015. Dru and Danielle are always professional and incredibly kind before, during, and after the tattoo. I truly recommend all of my friends to them because they've given me my best tattoos and tattoo experiences! My first tattoo by Dru looks as good as the day I got it 9 years later! read more

Allegiance Tattoo - First part of my tattoo from Allegiance Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - The Colony, Texas

Very quality work from the artist at this shop. Highly recommend booking an appointment.

I recently got my tattoo at Allegiance Tattoo, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience! From the moment I walked in, Nick made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The shop itself has a great vibe. My artist, Nick Alvarez was professional, incredibly talented, and really took the time to listen to my ideas and bring my vision to life. His attention to detail was impeccable, and the tattoo turned out even better than I imagined! I'm constantly getting asked where I got tattooed. read more

Great experience. My consultation went awesome. Nick listened to my ideas, he drafted exactly what I envisioned. He didn't make me feel silly when I had questions or asked for minor tweaks in the design. I've now had several sessions and they've all gone flawlessly. They are clean, professional, and genuinely really nice people. I highly suggest this shop and the impeccable art they produce! read more

Been going to Dru for my tattoos for over 20 years now! Every time he draws me a custom piece he knocks it out of the park. He has an amazing talent for understanding your vision and making it into a timeless piece. I have sent strangers, friends, family and even my own kid to him for their tattoos. read more

Quality work with a great atmosphere. Dru was extremely professional and accommodating. Highly appreciate the art work and conversation.

Professionally, he is a great artist and tattooist. It's gotten a bit pretentious over the last 8 years, though. I was joking with him, and he did not take it well. I also asked if I could see the drawing before "day of" to show my wife because she's always apprehensive and I really just wanted to show it off to her because I knew it would be great. I had no idea that this was an issue. If he'd told me it was a problem after the first time I asked, I wouldn't have asked twice. I sure didn't mean to hurt his feelings with a silly (probably in poor taste) joke, but I did. He fired me as a customer less than 24 hours before my session. I never meant any harm, and I had a lot of respect for the guy and his work. I still respect the work, at least. My tattoos are excellent and I'm very proud of them. I think the issue was a HUGE misunderstanding and wish it would've been handled differently. The good news is that I have found another artist that tattoos Japanese exclusively. He's booked out until 2024. I'll wait and I bet I'll be happy. Then I'll write another review, and I'll go out on a limb and say it will be 5 stars with epic pictures. I wish you well, Dru/ Jason, even though I don't feel like I deserved how you handled our situation. read more

Great people, great tattoo work. I got a leg sleeve done by Dru Bias and couldn't be happier. I'm now going back to him to finish my arm and for a cover up. read more

Let me just say that this has been the absolute best tattoo experience I have ever had. Dru and Danielle are the most down-to-earth, kind, and honest people you will ever meet on this side of town. The prices are fair, and they are AMAZING with communication. My emails with Danielle were answered on time and thoroughly. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. This small little shop packs a punch. (It's hidden by the way.. if you hit the animal shelter, you've gone too far lol.) They are in the warehouse building right before the shelter at the very end. The shop is tastefully decorated with a little Dru flair: his love for asian inspired art. They put Saturday Night Live on TV, and we laughed and made fun of the musical numbers for 3 hours. I think every shop should have a TV. It distracts the hell out of the pain. Although in retrospect, probably not a great idea to put on comedy while you're getting inked, haha. Once you're all done, the hot towel tradition is applied to ensure a nicely healed tattoo. Bite your lip for this one. It all flew by; just shootin' the shit and getting tatted on a Tuesday night. That's a great night in my book. If you're looking for some great artwork, more notably American Traditional or Asian inspired, seriously consider stopping by. -xoxo Hail to the hot towel. read more

Definitely my favorite tatto shop. My wife has been to Dru 3 times, and then we've been to other shops to get other pieces since. After a few less than satisfactory experiences, we decided to go back for our last pieces. Dru and Danielle did amazing work and the experience was fantastic. Very intimate setting. read more

Thank you to Drew and Danielle for the best tattoo experience on the planet! From the moment I walked in to their beautiful studio and spoke with them personally about a tattoo I knew I had found artists that were passionate about their work and truly cared about the client. They are extremely talented and you can rest assured your tattoo will be nothing short of BAD ASS. If you are looking for the best of the best then look no further. I promise you will NOT be disappointed. I would highly recommend to any any everyone interested in getting a tattoo. read more

I had a great experience at Allegiance Tattoo! I was actually referred by a patient of mine to Danielle. I have been looking for awhile for a great American traditional tattoo artist. Danielle did a beautiful piece in my ditch and I am very pleased. The shop has a great atmosphere too. I will definitely be going back. read more

Ok I usually don't do reviews; but I've been searching for a great tattoo place and I've researched a lot of places. This one came off as kind of cocky in my opinion but reviews were awesome; assumed they must be good right. so I thought I would come by during their business hours it's Wednesday 12:44 to do a consult as their message says. I arrive go to door and it's locked so I look through glass door and I do see someone is there (white shirt) I'm like ok maybe he's only one there so I call get no answer and to be even more rude not did I not get a answer on phone a acknowledgment at the door but even worse the blinds on the door literally got lowered as I was sitting in my car in front of door making that phone call. So even if they are the best I wouldn't go there are others that are just as good if not better that have people skills or hell just manners. Good luck Too bad you can't get negative stars because they deserve them read more

Best place to get your tattoos! Absolutely love Danielle and Dru. I get tattooed by both and highly recommend either one. Cheers

I have 3 other tattoos from other shops and the most recent tattoo I received at Allegiance was by far the best experience. Dru and Danielle are incredibly warm and not pretentious at all... they have every right to be as both are very talented artists and tattooers. The vibe at this shop is very laid back- they even have a cat! I will recommend them to everyone who asks:) read more

I have been going to Dru for years. Custom tattoos, amazing work, and always professional. I am always treated with respect and know I am getting a clean tattoo worth every penny. I especially like the shop location and that I don't have to deal with drunkards off the street! Worth the drive if your not in The Colony. I will definitely get my next piece from Allegiance Tattoo. read more

Dru and Danielle are amazing, down to earth and extremely talented! Will definitely be back for more ink from either one if them!

Drew has done the most amazing job with my very extensive body work.. I will always respect and admire the care he takes with each work of art he creates for me and for the majority of my friends! I am a life long fan!! I have never seen an artist take such concentration, pride and care in his work. Honestly, I'm honored. read more

This is a great shop to go to! Especially if you're getting a tattoo for the first time. I just went for my last session with Danielle, (total of 3) and I felt very comfortable here, her and Dru are really nice and most of the time there were only 4 people total there. We watched movies and listened to music and talked about various topics from all the new tech stuff coming out to Donald Trump running for president. Made the time go by quick, and my tattoo less painful bc I was distracted and wasn't focusing as much on the pain. They really work with you if you're on a budget, which is why I did mine in 3 sessions. After the tattoo I got a hot towel treatment, literally a paper towel soaked in hot water and then pressed on the tattoo. Stung a bit but the healing was SIGNIFICANTLY shorter and more bearable than my much smaller tattoos were that didn't receive that commodity. When I first came in and I wanted the sketch to be changed Danielle was understanding and told me not to hesitate to tell an artist if I wanted to change something because they should be understanding about it, and if they're not then that's not the person that should be doing your tattoo. It sounds like common sense, but its hard to speak up sometimes; hearing that from her reinforced my belief that I had made the right choice by going here. The shop is so pretty and decorative with their art, I learned a lot about caring for my tattoo, and selecting an artist, amongst other things. I will definitely be back, if you're looking for a great traditional/Americana (I'm sure she does other types as well just saying this style bc that's what I got) tattoo you should definitely go to Danielle, she's very knowledgeable, kind, and very precise with her line work. I wasn't tattooed by Dru, but I was fortunate to see his work on other people throughout my 3 sessions, he creates amazing Japanese dragons, makes the artwork come to life. read more

Such a laid back and great place to get a tattoo done. Dru made my first tattoo experience so smooth and comfortable. No rush no pressure and most importantly patience. Was originally recommended to go here and just by showing my tattoo to others is my recommendation for this shop. read more

My girl and I just got inked here and the experience was awesome. Danielle and Dru definitely know what they are doing. Highly recommend them. read more

Danielle did exactly like I wanted with my tattoo. She was very fast & efficient & it didn't take very long. She & Dru were both super friendly & easy to talk to. The store is clean & quiet. No one else came in while I was there so I felt like there was 100% focus on my work. read more

The shop is very clean and the artists are very personable. Dru is awesome - he did a fabulous job on my wrist tat. I will definately be going back to get my other tat added on to. Great experience..... read more
