Good to know before you book
- Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.
- Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.
- Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

I had my tattoo done by Summer at Tattoo Assassin and she was absolutely incredible. This was a micro color tattoo, and you can tell she truly specializes in fine detail and precision. She paid so much attention to every tiny line and color placement, nothing felt rushed, and the result is flawless. The pricing was phenomenal for the quality of work, and the whole experience was professional and comfortable. If you’re looking for micro tattoos, color work, or just an artist who genuinely cares about perfection — ask for Summer. I would 100% recommend and will definitely be back!
Owen Xiang Zhang absolutely knocked this one out of the park for me. I couldn’t be happier with the result—honestly the best tattoo I’ve ever seen, and I’m proud to wear it. His attention to detail, professionalism, and skill really show in his work. The process was smooth and comfortable, and the pain was minimal for the most part. I would definitely book with Owen again for future tattoos. Highly recommend. I spent over $4,000 I believe keep that in mind.
This shop is literally hands down one of the best, if not the absolute best shop in Houston. I take great pride in my tattoo’s. I have them all over my body and got them from shops all over Houston. But I always find myself coming back to Assassin Tattoo. This particular tattoo my wife got from Alice and we are and was BLOWN AWAY completely by the work. Appreciate Alice for the amazing work, if you have her, you are in good hands. She takes her time and pulls solid straight lines. I’ve personally had a tattoo from this shop from the owner Peng and he is tattoo GOAT.. I’m coming back for another tattoo this Friday. This place IS AWESOME! Highly, Highly recommend. Edit: Just came back on Friday and it was as amazing as Monday and Alice yet again NAILS it. Absolutely love it here, its incredible.
