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.
- 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.

Super dope shop ! Texas bob is the best in the area … superb line work and his customer service is exceptional! Hoping to be back in the area so I can go get more work done ! Highly recommend this place
Most of my tattoos are from Bob and Hope, and they knock it out of the park every single time, incredible work at extremely fair prices. I love having a shop so close, and supporting a local business too. I always have to fight the urge to pull in everytime I pass by! #americantraditional
Bob is an amazing tattoo artist! He has done three tattoos for me and one for my husband, and we love them all. Hope has also done a couple for my husband and one for my aunt. I already have another appointment booked and even have a future design in mind! Bob truly enjoys his work, and it shows. I love supporting local businesses, and his shop is definitely worth it. His style leans toward traditional, which I didn’t think was my preference at first, but I trusted him to be creative, and I’m absolutely obsessed with the results. He offers great professional advice and will suggest ways to enhance your design while still respecting your vision. When I had feedback on a sketch, he took it really well, made adjustments, and even thanked me for my input. He’s also great at incorporating existing work—I had a blue starfish already, and he seamlessly added onto it, refining the lines and making everything flow beautifully. If you’re looking for a talented artist who truly cares about his craft and clients, I highly recommend Bob!
