Dean is not only insanely talented, but also one of the kindest, most patient humans you'll ever meet.

At this point I'm convinced he could tattoo with his eyes closed and it would still be perfect. 10/10 experience, 100/10 human, and yes... I'm already planning my next one.

I have a VCH that was done at another studio several years ago. The end ball fell out and I went…read moreto GG for replacement jewelry. I had to purchase their only jewelry offereing, which was expensive - $45 - and I was fine to pay for high quality materials. When wanting to purchase, I was told to wait so the piercer could replace it. The piercer spoke only of who did it, why the metal was junk and why it was that length. I took his recommendation for replacement. He it was brusque and slightly disgusted. Upon checkout, I was charged a piercing fee as well as jewelry. Over 100 bucks when I just needed a replacement ball. Fast forward a few months - the expensive piece fell out and I wanted to replace it with the same high quality materials. I went against my instincts and went back to support local business and artists. I was "informed" that they would have to order it as they do not recommend that piercing at all. I was told of the dangers of migration and tearing - and again heard an opinion about another studio and how bad an idea that piercing is. My daughter was getting her navel pierced and she was chosing jewelry

I had a really disappointing and unsafe experience with Manuel at Legacy Tattoo. He pierced my tongue completely wrong and the process was not sanitary at all. He didn't use a clamp, which is standard for proper placement and safety, and he also used the wrong jewelry size -- there was zero room for swelling, which is extremely dangerous for a fresh tongue piercing. I've had other piercings done and this was by far the most unprofessional experience I've ever had. I would not recommend getting pierced here, especially for something as sensitive as a tongue piercing. Not to mention, when i went back to confront him about it, he got immediately defensive and rude about it and took no accountability.

I love that they have tattoo books for you to browse through as well as their art displayed on the wall. Chase was meticulous with detail and took his time doing each one of my pieces. He's also very nice and I felt very welcomed upon being greeted by him and the other artist there. I will definitely be going back for more!

Unfortunately, I have had a negative expirience with one of the piercers. Pineapple, Jade, and Mercedes have all pierced me at different points. Around 3 years ago Mercedes pierced my verticle labret, and it turned out beautiful. Unfortunately I had to take it out because of a surgery after a few months, and once I recovered and wanted to get it repierced I went back. This time Travis pierced it, and I did not agree with his personality very much, as I felt he made some kind of targeted comments at my preferred jewelry and piercing placement, and he also was a little rude when we were having a conversation regarding the circumstances of my surgery. Since there was a scar showing the placement of my previous piercing, I trusted the results would be similiar, but after seeing the markings and thinking they looked good, the piercing happened and it felt a little off. Originally he tried to give me a piece of jewelry for the healing that was comically oversized, and when I said that I would like a smaller size, he acted as if it was a silly request. But truly, my lip was not going to swell to double its normal size because of a repiercing. I signed a form, got the smaller jewelry, and figured I would downsize when it was appropriate and hopefully I wouldnt feel like the placement was weird, but after the piercing had healed and I went to get it downsized, he revealed that no jewelry would fit the way I wanted because there werent any small enough piercings unless I had one custom made. I couldnt afford that so I just accepted it, until this year when I started disliking it so much I decided id rather not have the piercing than have the weirdly placed one, so I took it out. I know the difference might look kind of minimal, but it really drove me crazy to feel the piercing wiggling around so much, and not be able to afford jewelry I would like because it was not within standard sizes. For a while I blamed my anatomy, but a few weeks ago I realized maybe my lips arent weirdly shaped and my prefered placement should be possible, so I got it repierced elsewhere. Now that it is healed (or at least no longer swollen), I can confidently say that Travis messed up with the piercing placement, and acted quite unprofessionally in my opinion. I am comfortably wearing a size piercing that I think is third from the smallest standard size, and it fits exactly how I want. I will attach a photo with a comparison of the piercing i got from travis and my current piercing. (in the top pictures I am wearing a 16g, 1/4 inch piercing, and in the bottom pictures I am wearing a 16g, 3/8 inch piercing.) I cannot recommend the other piercers enough, and I hope to return here for many future jobs, but I would like to recognize this expirience in my review because it was an upsetting expirience that cost me time and money.

Arrived to only one woman in the waiting area and thought "wonderful this should be quick". No one came out to see who walked in the door. But that's ok as I see the piercer piercing three girls. I wait. A group of four people walk in talking about what tattoos they are going to get. We wait. No one comes out. Then a group of 5 young girls come in. Talking about what piercings they are going to get. I'm still waiting. No one has come out to check that the door bell has chimed to customers coming in the door. Then the girls getting pierced are done. They come out and start paying. Not ONE WORD from the piercer of "hi I'm sorry for the wait" or "hi we are very busy today what would you like and it will be a couple hours". Nothing. Then at least 6 more people arrive. The waiting area is full. After the piercer is done checking the three girls out she asks one of the 5 girls what piercing she wants. WHAT! Hello. There is a room full of people. I've now been standing there 25 minutes at least because I am loyal to a business, but now I'm disgusted. It is basic common courtesy to acknowledge you have paying people in the room. Beyond angry I leave. No yelling. No blowing up like a psychotic Karen on TikTok. I left and went to Supernova Tattoo Parlor in Round Rock and Ashley did an amazing job with my new piercing.
