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.
- 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.

Had the impulsive idea to get a tattoo for my birthday, and we ended up at Riders on the Storm. It turned out to be the best experience. Alan was incredibly talented, kind, attentive, and just an all-around cool guy. He did tattoos for me, my brother, and my brother’s fiancée, and absolutely nailed every one. The shop was welcoming with really cool vibes, and we truly appreciated them taking our walk-ins. Highly recommend Riders on the Storm—especially Alan—to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Thank you for such a great, memorable experience!
From start to finish, the customer service was outstanding. The energy in the studio was welcoming, professional, and full of great vibes and the AESTHETIC which made the entire experience even better. The artist is incredibly talented, attentive, and truly passionate about their craft. They took the time to listen, explain the process, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with my new tattoo the quality, detail, and care exceeded my expectations. Overall, an amazing experience and I would absolutely recommend this artist to anyone looking for top-tier work and an unforgettable experience.
***NEW LOCATION on Providence*** More an art studio than a traditional tattoo parlor—the space is enormous and absolutely amazing. Got in a little sneak peek as they’ve just moved in and I have no doubt this place will be the premier place to get ink done in the city, if not the entire region. The masterful ferunda could not have done better job imagining and executing this piece and I feel so grateful to have been able to have this work done at Riders on the Storm. The breadth of styles on offer in this one space rivals anything currently on offer in the Bayou City and I have no doubt it’s only going to get better. If you’re serious about ink you’re going to find yourself here sooner or later so might as well make it sooner. Thanks y’all, couldn’t be happier about the entire experience!
