Good to know before you book
- Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- 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.

A few things to mention since I do genuinely love this shop! The sweet lady at the front, La, is SO INSANELY SWEET and comforted me for my first ever tattoo when I came in back in 2022! As for the shop recently I had the pleasure to meet and work with Parker! He is not only incredibly sweet as well but super understanding & accommodating! He made extra sure I wouldn't feel ashamed about changing my tattoo placement as much as possible since it'll be on me forever. He truly is just beyond talented, and we worked on my second over all colored tattoo and first traditional piece 🔥 I'm still just in awe and obsessed with it!! Looking forward to work with him on future ideas! Y'all don't hesitate to stop by and meet the crew at least ✨️ such a comforting, clean and professional shop 💗
Talented artists and friendly staff. It was my first time here and I will definitely be back for more tattoos! Highly recommend!
Randy Lee made my concept a reality I never knew it could be! I am more than thrilled to have worked with such an artist and a professional. He was very communicative and easy to work with, and did amazing quality work. We were able to breeze through this piece in two sessions and was comforting and knowledgeable to give me the confidence it would turn out great. I highly recommend going to Bayou City Body Shop and cannot wait to have my second companion piece done soon. The entire team at the studio is great, and I look forward to working with Stormy on some piercings as well.
