Well it starts out that my cousin, sister and myself wanted to get a matching letter tattoo, so we had called prior (Saturday) to ask if we needed to have an appointment for Sunday to Calaveras Custom Tattoo. We were told that Sundays were slow, so we didn't need to make an appointment and to just come in. We did just that and had to wait outside since we got there a little early. We went in when it opened and the person inside told us that we needed to have an appointment (which we were the only ones there). He said that he would be the only artist in an that he didn't have time for us. (Don't have walk-ins welcome on the door maybe?) We let him know that we only wanted small letters and replied to us by he would NOT make time for us only his appointments. So we took our business to Doomsday Tattoo who had time for us! Mark was able to do all three tattoo's and was very personable! I would highly recommend! Very bright and clean and most importantly friendly! read more

Let's just say this is the best little Tattoo establishment in all of America! Yes, America. And by America, I mean the United States of America! It don't get much better than that!?! Bubba and all the guys over at Doomsday are friendly, approachable, and very talented artists. I have had numerous pieces done by Bubba Soliz over a span of 5 years. I have had work done from all over the country since I am prior military. Since I have called San Antonio home I refuse to get work anywhere else. His work, his professionalism, and expertise on the craft of tattooing are A+++++. And it ain't just Bubba, all the guys are great. There is NO need to go anywhere else for a tattoo, Doomsday Tattoo is the only place in San Antonio you should be inked... PERIOD! read more

If you have a concept and are looking for an artist to help interpret the idea and bring it to life, reach out to Christina Sparrow. This woman is not only one hell of an artist, but she is excellent at understanding her clients vision. Over two days she completed my first tattoo which had a very deep spiritual meaning to me almost as though she had planted the vision herself. Pros: 1. I am old, she didn't make me feel old. 2. She is exceedingly patient. 3. She obviously has very high standards for her artwork 4. She talks to her clients to understand the meaning behind the idea. 5. Her work pleased my wife (that's not easy) Cons: 1. None Lastly, I drove to San Antonio from Houston to have her create my tattoo. It was worth the drive. read more

My friends and I were on a day trip to SA and decided we wanted to get some smaller tattoos done. We called around to a lot of places and a lot of them were either appointment only or had very expensive store minimums (doomsday's is $60). They said they could take us as a walk in and we were very happy with how accommodating they were!! Very patient and welcoming staff and they took covid precautions seriously. The store is cash only and they have an ATM inside to withdraw money, but some artists also take Venmo/cash app, just depends. I got the guitar tattoo and had Jessa! She was awesome and professional. Will definitely be coming here again when I'm back in town :) read more

I decided to get a piercing while visiting in San Antonio and was pierced by Jamie. I was a bit nervous but she really helped with calming me down and getting me comfortable before moving forward. She's very professional, informative and altogether a very personable person. She walked me through every step and made it a very good experience! Before i knew it she was done...QUICK & PAINLESS!!!! (also a shoutout to Bubba the owner of the shop. he's very quick and does amazing work!) 10/10 place/experience every time! read more

I have only been to this shop once and got a tattoo from Esty! She was super friendly and it was probably one of the best experiences i've ever had with an artist as she was someone who I was able to have a nice conversation with during the session which helped ease a lot of nerves I had getting a tattoo! I was the last customer in the shop that night and was even walked out to my car since it was so late. I plan to go back as soon as possible and get another piece from Esty! read more

Was recommended by best friend to Bubba. Never been disappointed by his work. Amazing free-hand artist, very reasonable pricing. You always get what you pay for! Currently getting a cover-up that every other GREAT artist refused to touch without some sort of laser removal first. Bubba took on the challenge of fixing my fucked up tattoo and brought it back from the dead! Now that's TALENT!!! read more

The guys over at Doomsday are the best! I have six tattoos from their shop and will continue to bring them my business for my tattoo needs! They have a very clean and professional environment. I cannot wait for my next tattoo from Doomsday! The superior high quality of their tattoos always gets noticed on my arms by friends and strangers and I point them in the direction of Doomsday! read more

I can't recommend Doomsday and @jeremy_x_hill enough!! I had one of the best experiences at this shop and with my artist who tackled one of my most fav sci-fi films, Arrival. Everyone in the shop is super nice and spending so much time there over the last two weeks I honestly can't wait to go back. Great vibes, cool people, badass art. thank you, Jeremy!!!! His Insta: @jeremy_x_hill read more

I've been to Ethan and Baby so far, they are both amazing. So kind and the vibe they present in the shop is great. They are always willing to work with you on whatever you want done. I went here one time and I haven't been anywhere since. Narsa, is amazing she was there to help and answer any questions u had, she was so sweet and had a great personality and overall vibe. read more

My experience at doomsday tattoo was a perfect combination of professional and creative Ideas.. I asked Jason Pena to draw me something out of nothing and he created a tattoo that I wanted immediately. He was on point, clean, reasonable perspicacious, and efficient. I recommend this establishment to anyone new or old in the tattoo game. Thanks doomsday read more

I have had several tattoos done by different artists but I have found my home. Jason Peña has been a great friend and when he was ready he became my tattoo artist. I look forward to seeing him when I am itching to get inked. I really enjoy the Friday the 13th specials. The staff is always helpful and friendly every time I visit. read more

Love the vibe at this shop. Everybody's got genuine talent and you can tell people here actually care about the art they put out. Huge shoutout to my main guy Carlos he's done all my ink and still somehow always takes my chaotic ideas and turns them into something even better than I pictured. Dude's a real artist for sure. read more

And they always return for more .as do I... Keep up the great work guys!!!!!!! read more
