⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Texas Made Ink deserves every bit of praise I can give. From the moment I walked in, the owners made me feel like family. They were unbelievably accommodating — even stayed late for me, fed me, and surprised me with a free t-shirt for my first visit. We had great conversations, and you can tell they’re truly good, wholesome people who care about their clients. Now let me talk about John, the artist. I’ve known him for years — we first met back when I was driving Uber trying to get back on my feet. I told him one day I’d make it back to him for a tattoo, and I finally did. John is nothing short of incredible. His work is absolutely phenomenal, and his attention to detail and artistry blew me away. I can’t recommend this shop or John highly enough. If you want amazing ink and genuine people who go above and beyond, Texas Made Ink is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back soon for my next piece!
I was recommended to come here by a friend and I don’t regret it! The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly! They work with you with anything you would like! My arm was done by Enigma! He did so good and he’s very chill! He puts his all in his work! You need some work done, go to him 🙌🏻🙌🏻. Very happy with my tattoos!!
My tattoo artist was John Mena, his IG is johnzzart John got down! I had went to him for my Superman/Spider-Man tattoo back in 2018 & came back to him recently for my forearm piece and for my anniversary tattoo with my husband. Great & reasonable pricing, hand is super smooth, wasn’t heavy or painful, and of course made the tattoo experience a blast. He had great conversation, made me feel comfortable being in the chair for a while, & the artwork speaks for itself. The tattoos remain dark & pigmented & I get lots of compliments on them. Check out John he’s the best & can’t wait to finish my sleeve with him. Thanks again John!
