I had an amazing experience at Red Light Tattoo in San Marcos, Texas. I've been tattooed by both Banks and Amber Rashid, and I couldn't be happier with how beautifully my tattoos turned out. Banks has an incredible mind for realism and color use - the way he builds depth and brings an image to life is next-level. Every shade and detail was placed with so much intention that the finished piece looks almost luminous. Amber was just as impressive, with a clean, confident style and a genuinely welcoming presence. Her linework and overall execution were flawless, and she made the whole process comfortable from start to finish.
Roy hit the request perfectly. Clean. Professional. Respectful. LGBT friendly. To find the place, you have to go down the alleyway. (See pictures)
The shop was very clean and Banks did a great job. Cool vibe inside, great music playing, and everyone was respectful.
