I've been coming to Javelina Tattoo for years now, and I truly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my body art. What started as a new search for a great tattoo artist has grown into a super sweet friendship and a collection of absolutely stunning tattoos, all thanks to Cara. Cara is pure magic!! Not just insanely talented and versatile as an artist but also one of the most kind-hearted, open, and inspiring people I've ever met. I gush about her to friends every opportunity I get because she's just such an amazing person. What I love about her as an artist the most is that she gets excited about every idea I bring in and always helps me turn it into something even more amazing than I imagined. Her eye for detail and ability to work across different tattoo styles is amazing and spending hours with her during each session always flies by not only because I love watching her create, but because it's such a pleasure to be around her and everyone else at the shop. What truly sets Javelina apart from any other shop I've been to is the vibe. Every artist there radiates the same energy and positivity as Cara. From the moment I walk in, I'm greeted with genuine smiles, hugs and conversations that feel more like hanging out with good friends than sitting in a shop. It's such a welcoming, uplifting space -- you can just feel the creative energy and kindness flowing through the whole team. Even though I live in Houston, I'm always glad make the drive every time because the experience and the art are so worth it. I eventually want my whole body covered in tattoos by Cara, and we're working on it . And I have my wonderful wife to thank for finding her Instagram all those years ago, she changed my tattoo journey forever. Javelina is more than a tattoo shop, it's a sanctuary for art, connection and good pure energy. I feel so lucky to have found it. read more

1 year late tattoo update. My tattoo is awful. Tattoo artist was really nice though The line (black) and really heavy and not straight at all. The color pink and red look like the same color and the tattoo has faded already. I keep it cover. read more

I have several tattoos from Javelina Tattoo and I will never go anywhere else. Most of my tattoos are from Hannah, but everyone there is so amazing! Some shops feel quiet and closed off but they make you feel so welcome. read more

Javelina Tattoo - Killer new tattoo! - Tattoo Near Me - Beaumont, Texas

Absolutely incredible and so professional! They were able to take my walk in just the other day, I had my design ready and we got started pretty quickly. Their amazing Apprentice Daphnee was fast getting the size options printed out despite the machine giving them a hard time lol. Everyone there was so sweet and totally took away my anxiety about my first tattoo just by being so casual. They've done an excellent job creating a super safe feeling and chill environment inside, I loved all the art decorating everything! My Mom was with me and held my legs to squish me real good as it was happening, and no one made me feel like I should've been embarrassed about it. In fact Daphnee put plenty of pressure on my arm while tattooing my wrist to help me out even further. Instantly the pain became way more bearable. Amazing experience!! I know I couldn't control my face during and probably looked a bit seasick but I swear these people are who I will be coming back to when I'm ready for more. (On a bit more of a fleshier spot next time ) They only take cash, but have an ATM right on the inside, so you don't have to have a panic moment if you didn't bring cash with you. I don't think many people are lucky enough to find their forever tattoo shop their first time like I just did! read more

Yesterday she charged my husband $150 to pierce his ears. He was also notified after the piercing was done that they only accept cash and he'd have to use the ATM. Seems very sketchy, I've seen piercings done for much cheaper. read more

Cat Green is amazing. Very professional & knowledgeable. First I had my brows done. My first tattoo ever. It just felt like a little scratching. Then I had my lips done; they were only tender on the day of procedure. I recently had the eyeliner which was not as much fun but tolerable. I never thought I would have these procedures done, but am very happy with the natural subtle results. Thanks Cat! read more

Absolutely great experience with Ann Marie! She was so informative about the piercing I was getting and had no issue talking through questions with me! Everything was extremely clean and she talked through everything she did while doing it so you were never left wondering. I will for sure be recommending her to anyone for piercing needs! read more

2nd edit: Ann Marie has now also done my VCH and two inner labia piercings, all of which turned out fantastically. She worked very meticulously to make sure everything was placed correctly, and I am very pleased with the results. I originally didn't think I could get a VCH piercing on my anatomy, but Ann Marie confirmed that I definitely could, and I couldn't be happier. All three are healing wonderfully. Also, her prices are very reasonable like Miranda's were. She charges less than some shops in the area even though her jewelry quality is better than other shops (most use externally threaded junk) and even though she is more knowledgeable than other piercers in the area. Highly recommend her for all your piercing needs! Edit: I have gotten pierced by Ann Marie now as well, and she is just as amazing! She only uses implant grade jewelry, the angle is perfect, and she worked with me to get my flat piercing in the perfect spot. I highly recommend her as well! Also, my helix by Miranda is over two months old now and is healing beautifully. Original: I have been to Javelina twice so far, and it's my new favorite local shop. Miranda, the piercer, is excellent! I had her change out my snug and tragus piercings to higher quality jewelry on my first visit, and she sterilized the jewelry that I brought with me. I was very impressed because lots of shops won't do that even when it's an unhealed piercing that needs to be changed (it's an infection risk if the jewelry isn't sterilized). For my second visit, she pierced my lower helix, and she did such a great job. It's at a 90° angle to the tissue, it barely hurt, and it's in the perfect spot. She only uses gold and implant grade titanium by reputable jewelry brands like Neometal, LeRoi, and Body Gems, which is amazing because good brands guarantee high quality. Unlike other local shops, she doesn't use externally threaded junk jewelry or steel. Her prices are quite reasonable as well, especially for the implant grade quality jewelry. I paid $55 plus a tip. She is so knowledgeable and does everything right. I will definitely be back for more! Also, to add, the other piercer, Ann Marie, is super sweet and knowledgeable too. I haven't gotten pierced by her yet, but I have seen her work, and it is top notch as well. You can't go wrong getting pierced by either piercer here. 10/10 recommend. read more

Don't use their website. It looks nice. I set up an appointment and got a confirmation. When I got there they knew nothing about it. Young woman that helped me was extremely nice. She said they really need to take the online booking off of the website because it isn't used. She talked to the owner. They could schedule an appointment later but I'd need to give a deposit. They only take cash. I said I'd bring cash to the appointment. That wouldn't work. The deposit was needed to make an appointment. I'd left numbers when I registered on the website. Also uploaded images. Their message said they'd call me soon. If they had I'd have brought cash. I guess they have all the business they need. I wish them luck. read more

Cara is amazing! She is a true artist that can take a general idea you give her and make it more beautiful that you could ever imagine. She has a wonderful beside manner and makes every experience very enjoyable. She has put together a top team of artists at Javelina and I would expect that you will get similar service from anyone employed at that shop. Tattoos are, for the most part permanent, and don't ever settle for less than the best. Cara and the team at Javelina will give you the best so that you never have to look into tattoo removal or cover ups. read more

The place was clean and looked nice so I gave it a try. My tattoo artist was terrible he left a scar and was completely inappropriate with the way he touched me. He made me feel violated and would rub his penis on me when he would get up. His name was Chris Cornell and old fat guy with beard and hat. I'm not sure if he does the same to women or not but it was disgusting and I was afraid to say anything until the tattoo was done. He also made an inappropriate slur I'm not sure if he thought I was gay or not but it was not welcomed and I've never felt so scared and disgusted in my life. I've never had this sort of thing happen if others have please comment on here and together maybe we can start a lawsuit or press charges to make sure he doesn't keep doing this. It is not okay. read more
