I enquired about getting a tattoo here and they managed to get me an appointment the very next day. I had a design that ideally wasn't possible to do, but the owner Forrest discussed some different alternatives and we came to a solution. Very friendly and personable people here, his wife was so kind to ask me if I wanted anything from the store whilst I was getting tattooed, shop is nice and clean, laid back atmosphere with good conversation and good music if you happen to like Rock! I was given a hell of a good price and am absolutely thrilled with the quality and finished product of my tattoo, I will definitely be going back here for my next one, safe to say I have my "tattoo guy" here at NeedleWerx. Thank you Forrest! read more

His artistic talent exceeded my expectations. After searching endlessly for the perfect tattoo to represent my mom as my angel, he perfected the shading, provided great placement and professional input. I've returned for piercings- daith and forward helix both healed nicely- & plan to return for more he pierces like a professional, with a needle not a gun read more

I'm not giving this one star because not all employees are like this. But the bald man working February 6th 2019 at 8pm was by far the rudest person I've met. Every simple question such as "do you have a book of designs I can look at?" Was snapped back immediately with a condescending asshole tone. I will never get any work done there. read more

Didn't even catch his name, but the guy who does piercings here just seriously helped me out when he absolutely did not have to!!! Thank you so much so changing out my piercing just now when your doors weren't even opened yet. I really appreciate you! Highly recommend this place for your piercing needs!!! read more

Scheduled an appointment for myself and 2 girlfriends to get best friends tattoos. It may sound silly, but it was very important to us. Forrest did a great job, and put us at ease. The environment was casual and price was fair. We're all happy with our tattoos, and hope to add to them in the future! read more

My mother in law came in to get a matching heart with my husband and I. It was her very first tattoo. I was already weary when the gent said he couldn't do an outline of a heart but I thought I'd still give it a chance bc the reviews were good. He recommended we get a red heart filled in so we said alright. I could tell he had a heavy hand and I sit pretty well through these types of artists but this guy took the cake. Anyway flash forward to a week later and it still hurt badly and looks like a burn. All 3 of our arms have been mutilated. This is wild.... I've never had such poor work on my body. Never seen such horrendous work in person. read more

I had an old tat that needed some love. Forrest looked at it and said he could help. I was skeptical. This original tat was done in 1984. So, I figured I have nothing to lose. When completed, I was ssssoooo impressed! Most importantly, my bride approved! Forrest, thank you sir. read more

I got a cartilage piercing here, the staff was nice and the building was very clean. The piercing process was fast and painless and the prices are fair. Will be coming back for my next piercings! read more

Got my first tattoo one here one month ago. Great experience. I will definitely return for my next one. Good explanation of what to expect as well as how to take care of the tattoo afterwards. Very clean and good background music. And, my tattoo looks great! read more

Needlewerx Tattoos - Georgetown Tattoo & Piercing - Gotmy first tatt one month ago and it turned out great. Highly recommended! - Tattoo Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

literally stopped by to inquire about a piercing. They said they took appointments and to come back at 5. I asked again 5? Yes, I was told. I get there greeted by some man who said have a seat and she'll be with you. No one spoke to me again for a whole hour and "she" had just started a tattoo. Why come back at 5 if that time was not available?? Not one word from anyone and they don't care if you wait or leave. To them it's just a piercing. With the pandemic you would imagine that they would want the business. All the cared about was going home. He could've helped us real quickly. read more

An acquaintance got a piercing here because they had a good tattoo experience. It went bad and had to be removed by a plastic surgeon. Other piercing artist said the piercing was improperly done, which led to the problem. They agreed to refund the money, but then they posted to FB calling my acquaintance "entitled" and other stupid crap. Turns out they didn't even refund half, which is not what was agreed. It boggles my mind that a shop reliant on word-of-mouth and personal relationships would jeopardize that over $50 or whatever. Take your business elsewhere, these guys might be decent tattooists but they are jerks. read more

I don't remember his name. A big guy with a bald head. Not a big talker, and didn't really seem to have a pleasant kind of personality. I went in maybe close to 2 years ago and asked for a cover up of Capt. Billy's name tattooed along the side of my foot. This man made a HUGE MESS out what he proposed as a floral cover up. He was SO HEAVY HANDED, my foot was the size of a football for 2 months! It was scarlet red and SO swollen I couldn't wear shoes for almost 8 weeks. I contacted him with photos of it and also let him know the ink had spread up under the skin all the way up to my little toe and the colors of the outline of the "flowers" had run. It looked terrible! He admitted it looked really bad,but he said when the swelling went down and it healed to come in and he would do what he could do to fix it. No charge. Absolutely NO WAY would I EVER let him touch my foot again! I actually thought I was going to lose my foot! My friend that is a nurse told me to go to a Dermatologist that said it was infected of course. The dermatologist asked what the tattoo was and then asked what were all the gray dots under the so called flowers. It was pretty embarrassing! Now I'm stuck with this ugly tattoo on my foot that the lines and colors have run under the skin and there's nothing I can do about it. I wish I would've left it alone. At least the script of Capt. Billy's was feminine and now I have this big ugly blob on my foot! And btw, I've NEVER had an infection of any kind, and always kept A&D on it and followed all directions just as I always have with all my other tattoos. I need some more work done on other tattoos, but I will NEVER recommend nor return to that place! For ONCE I'd like my tattoo work to reflect a good artist! One that really cared about their quality of work. I always seem to get the crappiest work done. I would be so thrilled to be able to show off beautiful work... I'm just a 65 year old woman that only wanted a pretty floral tat. I'm not young and pretty anymore so I guess I kinda get left out when it comes to anybody caring about what means something nice to me. I'm not wealthy so I didn't have the money to go back and have him look at it again and see what he could do, even if I wanted to. You know I feel that if he wasn't interested in doing that for me, or it wasn't his thing, he could have just referred me to someone that would've done the little bit I wanted. I wasn't asking for much. Just put some tiny flowers in the script even if you couldn't read the script, just make it look sweet. Obviously all he wanted was my hundred$ bill. Now instead of living the rest of my life out with something petite and elegant, I have this big ugly blob on my foot. I hate this thing...And for all the rest of my days. Sad. read more

See all

Called with a few questions for clarification because I'm clueless. Spoke with 2 people, both fucking rude. Tattoos look awful as well.

My boyfriend and I went here on Friday to check this place out. We worked with Forest and he did a fantastic Day of the Dead forearm tattoo for my man. The price was very good, the shop was clean and Forest was alot of fun. He is the master of color and because my boyfriend had some tattoos already started on this arm, Forest was able to work the color and new tattoo into the existing beautifully. I will definately be going back for all of my upcoming tattoos. read more

Great experience! Had my nipples pierced here today and was glad this was the shop I chose. The staff was friendly, professional, and seemed to really care about their clients. I went in and the piercer was helping another customer with a tattoo and told me it would be a few minutes but I could go ahead and start filling out the paper work. He finished with the other client and I was out of there in ten minutes. His work was thorough and very sanitary, which is very important to me. Will more than likely choose this shop again when I get more work done. read more

For several years I'd been wanting to get a certain image tattooed -I was hesitant to take the plunge because it was so specific and I wanted to make sure I found the right artist to replicate it. Now I am the proud owner of permanent artwork that expresses that vision, thanks to Forrest. Needlewerx is an excellent tattoo studio. From the vivid colors on the walls, the amazing bathroom (unforgettably cool) and the intuitive service provided, I highly recommending this as YOUR tattoo shop. I felt utterly comfortable and put at ease, so if you're thinking of getting a tattoo for the first time -you've found your place. If you're looking for additional artwork to add to your body, welcome home. read more

The owner was pretty rude to my friends and I when we went in. My friend asked for a tattoo - got patronizing commentary about the tattoo she's chosen to get. I wanted to get a second lobe piercing, and besides him telling me to shut up at some point (seriously), the piercings in each ear weren't even and I ended up having to take them out. I guess he didn't do a shit job on my friend's tattoo, though, so he's fine at that one aspect of his job. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I've been to this place twice and I've never had a good experience with them. If I call to make an appointment they are rude about. One of the tattoos I got from them is completely faded and I only got it a year ago. You can see in random places where they went too deep and then not deep enough. This is by far the worst tattoo place I've ever been to and I have 11 tattoos and being in the military I travel a lot and have been to a lot of different parlors. Go somewhere else if you want a tattoo that lasts and looks good. read more

After several years of thinking about it. I figured my birthday would be the most memorable time to get my first tattoo. Forrest made sure to make my tat one of a kind incorporating my vision of my kids and I. read more

My granddaughter got a nose piercing that was done improperly which required a cosmetic surgeon's help in correcting it (it had become ingrown due to the stud not being the proper length) and a considerable expense to correct this. We had been planning to get tattoos together there but not now! In addition, the piercing person posted some inappropriate comments that has caused cyper bullying of my granddaughter. Do not use Needlewerx! read more

I have several tattoos but have not been to Needlewerx until today. I met a friend there to get a small word done on my foot as a show of support for a fellow friend who has cancer. I made an appointment with Gus for 3:30. I got there a few minutes early, was the only customer there and having never met him, asked the only person there if he was Gus, he said he was, asked me my name and said he'd be with me in a bit. Several minutes passed and I asked if I should fill out the paperwork, he said sure, I did and I waited some more. He finally got to me, I told him I was part of the group that had come in last week and I was there to get the same tattoo. I said I wasnt sure about placement since I already have things on my forearms, one is a design that faces toward me, and he asked if I always have things upside down? I think he was trying to be funny, but it came off snarky, but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I decided on my foot and he got things ready and pulled out a razor to shave the top of my foot. I don't have hair on my feet, at all. So I said, I don't have hair on my feet, he said well everyone has peach fuzz. Then he proceeded to say, "you may be in charge of every other aspect of your life, but this is my realm and I'm in charge here." I should have gotten up and left right there. I'm kicking myself for staying. My girlfriends were there and I suppose that's why I didn't leave but I wanted to kick him in the face. My friends came back where I was as he began and at one point I bumped my knee of the foot that he was working on and he snapped so hard at me. He said, "what made you think that was a good idea to hit your leg as hard as you could? Whatever made you think that was a good idea?" I literally bumped my knee with my hand. He had a hold of my foot and nothing happened to the design, which took 3 minutes tops and he charged me $50. I asked to pay him so I could just get out of there and began to offer him my debit card and he said it was cash only. I told him I had no idea it was cash only and would need to go to an ATM and then made a comment about how he assumed my family would have told me it was cash only since they had all been in last week. I told him they weren't family, they're my friends and nope, that hadn't been shared. He was rude, condescending and just plain mean. I will never got to Gus wherever he is or Needlewerx again. read more

Came to Needlewerx on a recommendation for Forrest's work. I brought my own sketch and gave him the "go ahead" to take artistic license, and the result couldn't have been any better. Forrest turned it into an incredible piece that has already received numerous compliments. I won't have to think twice about where to get any future work done, and in the mean time will be recommending Needlewerx to everyone I know that is looking for a shop. read more

Amazing! Very Friendly and helpful! Repaired piercing work done by another company with out pain! I will never go any where else ever again! Thank you!!! read more

A friend of mine got her nose pierced here, the piercing sunk into her skin and she had to have it removed by a plastic surgeon. She followed all the instructions. She asked for a full refund and he agreed to it, then he posted on FB asking for the public's opinion. Then without consulting her, he only gave her a partial refund. I do not recommend this business, the are very unprofessional and rude. read more

I got a great tattoo here and I was recommending it to everyone. Then, I got my nose pierced. The piercing sunk into my nose and I had to have it removed by a plastic surgeon. They pierced it in the wrong place and using the wrong jewelry, according to another piercer I went to. I called and asked for a full refund including the tip. Forrest (the piercer and shop owner) agreed to refund me. He then took to Facebook and posted about me (anonymously), asking other people if they thought he should refund my money. He ended up not even refunding me half of what I paid, which is not what we agreed upon. The entire experience was extremely unprofessional. I do not recommend this business at all, and I will not be back. read more

Forrest is wonderful! He is thorough and listens to what you want. Very detail oriented. Would highly recommend!!

Awesome. The work was exactly what I wanted and the experience was great. Next tattoo, I'll be going here, best shop I have been to.

I love my tattoo I had done this week.it's exactly what I wanted and they actually take the time to work with you to figure out what you want. read more

My husband and I went into Needlewerx and Forrest worked on our arms. My husbands tattoo turned out okay but he ruined mine! He pushed so hard on me and my arm that he went into the fleshy layer and my arm looks bruised! I have other tattoos and he is the first person that hurt me while pushing so hard. He was working on a sensitive/thin part of my arm and ruined my tattoo! I am very upset because it can't be fixed!! read more
