Firebird Tattoo & Body Piercing

I love tattoos! I like getting them because they tell the story of my life. After contemplating of what to get, I found this studio. I was greeted by Sean. His professionalism was awesome!
The studio sits in a shopping center. The inside smells clean and looks clean. I showed Sean that I wanted two Chinese Zodiac symbols, and he noticed that the two designs I showed him were in different font. He went through the trouble of re-​designing it so that there wouldn’t be a difference. After sketching the design and setting up, he started to work on me. He works so smoothly and precise. The finished tattoo looks great! I’m very satisfied and definitely will be back when I want another tattoo. Highly recommend!!!

I have gotten a few piercings here. My experience was not the greatest, to be completely honest.
I was offered a deal: three piercings for $ 80 + $ 10 tip (my choice). This is not a bad price at all. I accepted and was onto the piercing.
Everything was seemingly clean, neat, and nice. However, I noticed that their waiting area and piercing area were not well separated… not very hygienic. Also, the piercer took the needles out and stuck all three needles into a block of lubricant (I do not even know if the lube was unused or new). This, also, is not clean because the needles are no longer sterile when you break the packaging so they were getting dirtier and dirtier as time went on.
He talked me through the piercing process and started setting up. I don’t even remember if he had gloves on, but if I had to guess, I would guess that he had no gloves on. Very unclean!
I was never told to breathe in and out when the needle went through. I was not marked at all or talked to during the process at all; this only made my nerves worse. That is entirely unprofessional and completely wrong. I kind of figure that the place does not have enough funds to afford sterile ink to mark piercings. If that is the case, they should NOT be piercing anyone. He did ask me if I wanted to be pierced where I was pierced before, but he ended up piercing them in different spots. The piercer just pierced without asking me if I liked the placement. Seriously?
The absolute WORST thing he did was put a tiny ¼ inch (or smaller) stud in my cartilage piercing, causing it to not heal at ALL. I did NOT even KNOW that he put such a small stud in my helix (this is completely wrong for healing piercings) until I realized a month later how swollen, red, puffy, leaky, and bloody the whole ear was. I then took it out and replaced it with a bigger stud, but the damage was already done and I had to take the whole piercing out. Very disappointing.
He put bigger labret studs in my earlobe piercings. However, my earlobe piercings were very uneven so I had to get them redone elsewhere.
Please do not go here. I paid 90 dollars for uneven piercings and bad, tiny jewelry in my helix. I only kept one of his piercing that he did.
As for aftercare, he recommended NOT doing sea salt soaks and instead just using antibacterial soap. This is NOT recommended at ALL by a large majority of the piercing industry because of how harsh antibacterial soap is. Sea salt soaks are ALWAYS the most recommended because of the natural healing properties. I was thoroughly surprised by his recommendation.
The piercer is friendly but the piercings are not that great. I am extremely disappointed and do NOT recommend this place AT ALL!

What an artist. Really turns a frown upside down. Would not go anywhere else. Awesome job drew. Thanks. Cover up is next. So far got dog tags fixed. American flag and just got my skull tonight. Thanks bro. Your a genius!

If I could rate Firebird Tattoos with 10 stars I would. The tattoo shop is owned by Drew Wexelberg and he is not only an amazing artist but he’s also an awesome guy and easy to talk to. He is willing and open to give suggestions and collaborate in order to make your tattoo exactly what you want. Firebird Tattoo is VERY clean and sterile which is always important when choosing a tattoo establishment. Drew is always professional and knowledgeable about any questions I have and he has always taken the time to perfect the ideas that I come to him with and he always makes a beautiful unique tattoo for me. If you are looking for a new tattoo artist I highly recommend Drew because the quality of his work is worth every penny spent. Drew has almost 20 years of tattoo experience and his amazing artistic talent reflects that. Check them out at their new location off Park Row in Katy!

Drew is the best! Very professional and extremely talented. I absolutely love all the work he has done for me. I trust him because he is always honest when something might not look just right. Which is why I will continue to get my tattoos from him. :)
