I have patroned many tattoo shops; mostly in the Austin, Houston, and greater Houston area. Packers is now and will forever be my "tattoo home". Mike Packer and Joel's portfolio's speak for themselves but the customer service is beyond superb. While I was there tonight, 2 ladies getting their first tattoos were (understandably) pretty nervous. Overhearing how the artist, Kathryn, was treating her clients was remarkable. She made sure her client was comfortable and guided them through every step of the process. Tattoo shops are notorious for being snobby to first time clients. This is not the case for Packers. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and come here. If you're not in the area; the travel is worth it. Picture attached is one of many we are very pleased with. This is Joel's work on my Husband's forearem. Before the final touch-ups. read more

Of course I think this is the best tattoo shop. This shop DOES NOT DO PIERCINGS. Packer's has not claimed their Yelp, so information on the page is outdated. Google has the correct information! Yelp forces you to pay to claim your page in order to change the information. Please refer to Packer's on google and you will have much better results! read more

I highly recommend this place. I did a lot of searching for a good tattoo artist who can cover up 2 existing tattoos. Marcus did a phenomenal job! read more

I've been to Packers many times. The establishment is always clean and all the artist are very friendly and very helpful. Kathryn has done 2 tattoos for me and she is awesome. I also had Mike Packer do a tattoo and his work is exceptional. He is very talented and amazing. If you are looking to get a tattoo I highly recommended you go to Packers. read more

I recently was tattooed by Josh along with my husband, brother and SIL. They were all in memoriam of my Dad who passed away earlier this year. Our plan was for me and my siblings to get tattooed on his birthday. I was very disappointed, however, with the owner's unwritten policy regarding serving HIV positive patrons. He really could not give a clear answer as to why he wasn't willing to let my brother get a tattoo. He said it was bc he would liable if the tattoo didn't heal correctly. My brother recently got a tattoo in June that healed perfectly fine and we all signed releases anyway so I felt that "policy" was really just preference. The one thing that stood out is that he said if my brother hadn't disclosed his status that he would have been able to get a tattoo. That was really patronizing and insulting to our family. The ONLY reason we didn't go somewhere else is because the date was significant and we didn't want to waste the artist's time. Every other place we called had no problem with HIV. I get it's a small town (our home town) but I thought since it's 2018 people would be more educated about this. TL;DR If you are HIV positive don't disclose your status so you won't be discriminated against, but please make sure to tell Mike Packer afterwards. Also if you go request Josh Strader. He is an amazing artist with integrity and he doesn't judge you. "The NHS website suggests any risk is mitigated by using sterilised needles and the United States' Center for Disease Control notes there are no known cases in the US of HIV infection through tattoos or piercings. The 'Tattooing and body piercing guidance toolkit' endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and Public Health England, amongst others, reinforces the importance of safe practices and adequate training, yet it does not condone refusing to serve all HIV-positive persons." Mike please educate yourself on The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Universal Precautions. read more

Drove from Austin to get a memorial tattoo with my siblings. The tattoo was is honor of my fathers birthday today who passed in March of this year. We were excited do share this experience as a group. After arriving from a 3 hour drive we set up what we wanted with he artist (who was amazing) I informed Mike the owner of my status. Out of no where I'm told that they have a policy not to work on people who have HIV. His policy which is not stated anywhere is that it's to risky because apparently People with HIV are not responsible enough to take care of a tattoo, and he can't be liable if someone tried to sue if the tattoo didn't heal properly. Good thing you have a disclosure that states you're not liable for such action either way. (Mike, do you read your own forms?) I happy the artist was polite and willing to do the work but unfortunately his boss Mike Packer is ignorant or a bigot, not sure.? Disclosing my status is hard enough to do but to be shown that even a nice face and polite words can show how uneducated people can be to people with disabilities. I'll be in contact with the shop again to send Mike some helpful information that hopefully allow him to see how ignorant and discriminatory he was. read more

In my opinion Mike Packer is the best artist in Houston. He makes sure he hires only great talent. I've been getting tattoos for 40 years so I know what i'm talking about. read more

I went in to get a tattoo of a word in my grandmother's handwriting and I was super disappointed. The tattoo is scratchy and the line work is busted and looks nothing like the photo I gave the artist or even the stencil he put on me. The stencil was perfect and looked amazing, but the actual tattoo is horrific. read more

I got a tattoo from Packer about a year ago and I must say it's still the best, most detailed, tattoo I've come across in a long time. The fine, crisp details and sharp points took a lot of care and a really steady hand. Packer himself specializes in custom tattoos - exactly what I was looking for. I brought him my idea, the little details I wanted on it, and my concerns about it. The design itself was a Jolly Roger. I believe that a lot of artist's can just put a design on you, but it takes a special, great artist for me to say, I want what's usually deemed a masculine tattoo to look feminine. I had no preconceived design to help him, just a bunch of "stipulations" I'd call them and he made a masterpiece just for me. If I could've stayed in the area, I'd gone to him for all my tattoos. If your wanting custom work and like to be detailed with your tattoo's design it's defiantly worth your while to see Packer at Packers tattoo. read more
