Super rude .. not open to questions and definitely not welcoming.. if I could rate lower I would.

They overcharge, and the work was terrible, for something as simple as a straight line you'd expect it to be done perfectly....well not here for 80$ I got a finger tattoo of the libra zodiac sign only for some incompetent artist to mess it up don't recommend this place read more

Awesome experience! Thank you to Bri for being kind and for such an easy experience as a first timer at that tattoo shop. Felt very comfortable and will definitely be going back soon! Thanks again! read more

My boyfriend and I were sitting on the couch last night (1/27/18) and decided to go get a spontaneous tattoo (not matching). After receiving horrible basic customer service at a different shop we stumbled upon skin stories. Walking up we were greeted by 3 employees Jess, Renee and Katie, loved the energy immediately. After talking about ideas for a tattoo and checking out each artist portfolios he went with Renee and I went with Jess (don't worry we loved Katie too, she's a piercer and we were there for just tattoos). I wanted a joint smoking alien and told Jess to do whatever she wanted. Colors, drawing, etc. I LOVE how it turned out. The boyfriend loves his too! Both artists were fantastic! I would highly recommend checking out their work. read more

piercer was great and had to deal with my mother getting her lobes done with a fear of needles, great job done!

Terrible!!! Full of absolute crap!!' Customer for over a year! Will never go there or recommend!! Frankie will fuck up your tatts and piercings!! Oh and also because his mommy and daddy are the owners. According to him ( I have it on video) he doesn't need money or to do stupid tattoos. While getting work done he threw the bio hazard trash can across the shop !!!!!! BEWARE!!!! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon with a tattoo design. I shared my design with Christopher. He gave me some great tips and ideas to make it a better design (in a very polite manner). I am thrilled with the end result and will definitely return for my next piece! Very clean and welcoming. read more

Piercing process was pretty unprofessional Didnt properly clean the piercing area before hand and was harsh the whole time felt like he was In a rush even tho the store was completely empty and on his socials he post his piercing prices ($30) but when I stopped by made it $40 :) guy was decently nice ig would've been better if things were done professionally read more

Thank you Skin Stories! I really appreciate you providing great service and making my daughters birthday experience awesome! Store: Very clean and organized Staff: Super friendly, professional and aiming to please. Thank you so much Christian and Jessica for amazing work and treating us go well. We will be back! read more

This place has awful customer service. The artist was super degrading the moment I walked in.

I've had a mixed bag of great tattoos and mediocre tattoos but I was overall satisfied with all tattoos and attitudes from artists from this location. However, EVERY SINGLE PIERCING IVE GOTTEN FROM HERE IS CROOKED. My belly piercing is crooked, both my nipple piercings are crooked and not horizontal like they should be, and I went to get my other nostril pierced to match my first one and it's placement is noticeably off, closer to the tip of my nose and at a weird angle that makes the top of the jewel on my stud look not flush with my nose. The only reason I went back is because I was too impatient to wait to find a better piercer but I have learned my lesson!! read more

Got my first tattoo by Frankie!!!! Such a great vibe in the shop. Recommending this place to anyone who wants good quality work!

Got a tattoo from Javier Guzman. He was late, rude, and my tattoo looks terrible. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

While I was happy w the tattoo I got from Frankie, he was overall extremely rude and refused (along w multiple other artists in the shop) to wear a mask when I asked, even refused to wear one WHILE he was doing my tattoo. I would NOT come back here again, they are NOT following Covid guidelines whatsoever. If I end up contracting Covid 19 I will definitely be reporting them to the city of Houston read more

Frankie is the go to guy!! He's the person to go to for tattoos AND piercings. He is very gentle and sanitary which is just a plus to his personality. He talks you through everything and ensures that you're getting exactly what you want. If I could give him 6 stars I would read more

wrong placement of my piercing. Piercer was super cocky and got offended when I asked how much experience he had with the type of piercing I wanted & yet, did it WRONG. I now have excessive bleeding in that area and have a piercing through a much thicker piece of skin than I needed to have. Do notttttttttttt get pierced here read more

Total *0* stars, If that was an option. In 2013(I believe, possibly very beginning of 2014) My boyfriend and I both got matching tattoos here, no names or hearts ehhhh never! We got "The Lord's Prayer " on our forearms and it is very unfortunate that the word 'Temp"T"ation' he couldn't spell the word or maybe he pronounces wrong, not sure but now I have it INKED on my arm as 'Tem"P"ation. Yea, my boyfriend noticed his was incorrect when we got into the car and was almost to our destination. So, I checked mine... Yep! My advice, or any wording going forward from that day, I have and will do a full on spelling check. I wasn't worried because I pulled the prayer up on the computer, for him to go by? So I was more focused on size(long prayer when you put it on a place. Forearm and I am female but working it down to size ended up taking a few tries and the font, making sure the letters had enough space, yada yada yada... The tattoo is, I actually love it and I was full satisfied and I would rate them a 3/4 stars(wife, child, phone calls, rides to work, etc etc... yeah, that is why I say 3 ehh maybe 4) However, shop was clean. His station was clean. I wanted to go back so bad. I was infuriated and cursing and everything... I wanted our money back BOTTOM LINE. My boyfriend, he was just like not irate like me and was like: Its inked, nothing we can do now, blah blah blah. I don't tell anyone, in showing I have had some people point it out, which thats brings the red*** back because there is no fixing it. To this day though, since I can see it, just in general the tattoo its self. I really wish, I would have gone back, on my own and talked to the owner. It would have been couple days later but at least he would have seen and maybe have addressed/made good of the situation. - which the picture is here... read more

Skin Stories Tat2 - As you can see - Tattoo Near Me - Spring, Texas

You want a tattoo or piercing done right? Come to this Skin Stories in Spring! I wanted to get my forward helix pierced so I looked at several places and their reviews. I found Skin Stories and felt it had the best reviews. I went right when they were opening but they were happy to see me. It was very clean and the people were great. Jeffery did my piercing and talked with me while he got things together. He advised me to go with a horseshoe ring and I wanted the plain barbell. They even gave me a discount on the price! I left very satisfied. I started playing w my earring and the back fell off!! I turned around and without hesitation he took me back replaced the earring. I asked if I could go with what he originally had recommend. He said of course. No additional charge!!! I asked for a consult on a bad tattoo I have. They were so helpful to offer advice and even said they'd recolor it with a minimum fee! read more

frankie was so helpful, i love my new nose ring so much! came in at 6 on a tuesday and was helped instantly and greeted with amazing energy

I've gotten a few different tattoos done, all at different places. After hearing good things about Skin Stories, I decided to give them a shot. Not only is the establishment extremely clean, but the atmosphere in there is awesome! I just got a tattoo done by Jeff, and it was the best experience I've had yet! He was extremely friendly an professional and the work came out beautifully. I highly recommend this shop to anyone wanting to get quality work done. I'll be going back for more work soon. read more

Skin Stories Tat2 - Work done by Jeff. - Tattoo Near Me - Spring, Texas

I got my belly button pierced there and it was great, the guy that did it was so patient and sweet, it was fast and didn't hurt at all, second time I went I got my septum done, the guy that did it was super rude, the entire time I was there he was making rude comments about my culture and me crossing the border and what not, when it came to do my piercing he messed up and even apologized by saying "hey I know I have been a dick this entire time and I'm sorry but the ring got stuck with your nose and I'm going to ether have to pierce it again with a bigger needle or you might have to come back"; after having my head looking up for a good minute I stared getting light headed, and he got one of my friends to get my a soda that he also didn't want to pay for, and he was the one that had made the mistake, I desired to still get the piercing and go with the bigger needle since I knew there was no way he would give me my money back; third time I went was why my ex fiancé to ask few questions about tattoos, there was a bold guy that was just shutting down all my ideas and requests, I was telling him what I WANTED to get and where and he was just making fun of my requests telling me to just tattoo my butthole instead, he was making fun of me the entire time and seemed like he didn't want to do it, all I wanted was to get 4 small letters on the side on my rib cage and he was being an ass the entire time, when I asked for the price he said 60$ when last time I had stoped by some other guy had said 40$ since the letters were pretty small, I ended up leaving an never going back, the two last time I had been there were super uncomfortable and disrespectful, I hate it there!!! read more

I saw Frankie about my nose piercing, and he was super helpful and friendly! I highly recommend him!

I just got my second Friday the 13th tattoo at this location and I'm very impressed, My artist was Frankie, he was professional, kind, and the art was beautiful. I will be coming back soon! read more

Elijah is who I went too. He's excellent. He's so good he travels allover the place on tattoo conventions. He has won several 1st place of tattoo artist. He's very nice and friendly and patient. Cleanliness of place and your own sanitized needle is excellent. I will be coming back. I'm even bringing my daughter and mother in law to him. Plus getting Elijah to makeover two other tattoos I have. He's the bomb!! read more

Was sent here by another (HORRIBLE) shop, got one tattoo at Skin Stories and liked the service. I want to go back however specific artists are difficult to get ahold of and it feels more like a bother to reach out, so, I may have to find a different artist. read more

Frankie helped me out and was amazing! The ball on my septum fell off and he took me right back and put it back on with ease and pain free! He's the best. Highly recommend him and the shop. read more

Jess just sucks. Her attitude and art work is whack as fuck. Wasn't patient AT ALL even though this is a permanent drawing on my body that I want to be done good. I don't think that's too much to ask for lmfaooo... Got mad when I asked her to redo the stencil. Enough said. read more

Frankie was an absolute life saver! I got a helix piercing somewhere else a few months back and the bar was too short and it was getting infected. He was able to get out the too-tight piercing and replaced it at no charge. I will definitely go back to him for piercings in the future! read more

Frankie was very unprofessional while piercing my friends and I. when he was marking me for the piercing he commented about my belly saying in quote, "she's got that juicy belly" which is horrible no matter the person. He would also grab my friend and I by the hips in a very crude way. He's a good tattoo artist but not a good piercer. read more

Walked in and the guy at the front counter was playing a video game....he couldn't be bothered to make eye contact....asked If he could help me and kept playing....I asked about getting a small tattoo on the back of my forearm.....already had a picture...seemed to me a fairly simple traditional tattoo....he barely glanced at it and continued playing his game....then quoted me $200 maybe a little more to draw....this is not my first rodeo...have many tattoos....felt that price was a complete rip off for what I wanted....if I could give zero stars for customer service I would....needless to say I won't be back to give a review on their work.....they really blew it with me....how rude read more

Went the other day for my septum piercing and got it done by Puck! Super great guy, very friendly to talk to very professional walked me through the process and when it came down to it he made it to where it didn't even hurt ! Highly recommend going to him for any and all piercings!! read more

I went here back in December to get my double helix done with Frankie and it was great experience, I went back before everything got closed to get by lobes pierced and had a good experience then came back and got a tattoo from Frankie and had another great experience. Overall each time I've stepped foot into this business it's been a great experience, everyone is friendly and they all are great to talk to. If you're looking for work to be done I definitely recommend this business 100%!! I've only ever seen Frankie & will continue to use him for future work read more

I came in on Thursday and got a tattoo with Christopher Carver. It turned out AMAZING and the pricing was very reasonable as well! Will definitely be going back to him for future tattoos read more

Went In for a tattoo, showed them what I wanted and Frankie did an amazing job! I love it! Very clean, super nice, overall awesome place! Thanks Frankie I'll definitely be going in again. read more

Gotten 3 tattoos done by Jade and i can honestly say i love them! Definitely will be my artist from now on! Her line work is amazing and shes cute and fun! Always love bringing her ideas and have her bring them to life. Cant wait to get more! The shop is nice, sometimes has a wait on the weekends but worth the wait and they always have cool jams playing. read more

Not sure why Skin Stories has so many bad reviews on here .. from someone who has been coming to Skin Stories for years they're clean, professional, and Frankie is an amazing artist. Skin Stories is the shop I always recommend to friend, family, and strangers who compliment my tattoos. Frankie always makes it appoint to make you feel comfortable and rest any nerves you may have when walking in. Frankie was my artist for a lotus design down my spine and with his detailed attention I left with an unbelievable piece and not once did I feel any slight discomfit or pain! Bri tattooed my smaller pieces one on my rib cage and another on my arm and both turned out beautiful. Each and every sitting I've had at Skin Stories has been every reason I've chosen to come back . Skin Stories provides an overall welcoming atmosphere and great easing vibe for anyone with any concerns. The cleanliness of the shop is of obvious importance from the moment you walk in it's apparent the time taken to keep the shop up to standards to make anyone feel at ease. If your considering Skin Stories it's the more than the right place come in and have a badass experience with a badass tattoo to show! read more

Pretty annoyed with my "consultation" if that's what you want to call it with Elijah. Finally got him on the phone and asked if I could stop by, he said yes. I show up with my husband and to show him what I wanted but he rudely ignored me playing video games while I stood there. When I told my husband "let's go" he decides he wants to pause it. Didn't seem very interested so I'm not going to waste my money/skin on someone who doesn't care for business. read more

Best tattoo shop! Atmosphere is awesome and very clean environment. All artists are amazing, mine is Eric, he is very talented and nice and listens to you, he has done beautiful work! I had a piercing done by the piercer KT and she is wonderful, she explained everything and very nice. Thank y'all so much!! Highly recommended read more

Skin stories is full of disappointment and terrible customer service. The main artist, Elijah, boast about his award winning work, but then only copies and paste a lot of other people's work in front of you. Between me and other friends he has rescheduled about 6 times and threatens his clients. If you want to go here I'd pick a different artist, or just be aware you might get rescheduled 20 times before you get inked. read more

I went to Christopher as a referral from a friend ! And I'm happy I did because I love what he gave me . He gave very good tips and ideas how to put the tattoo. I trusted him & I love the end result ! read more
