Absolute Tattoo

Shitty ass customer service. I could tell that getting a tattoo here would probably be a mistake, after asking questions and how much they would charge for a tattoo… price was ridiculous. I’m sorry I’m going to platinum tattoos where I normally go (stopped by here only because they were closed).Don’t try to up sell me some piece of shit work because you can’t see tattoos on my body, save your $$$ and go elsewhere.

My BF got his anti-​brow repierced here and they were super quick and professional. Came out great

Just called the shop to find out if the artist who did my tattoo was still there and to see about getting my ink touched up. It faded pretty badly. The original tattoo is a steam punk flying pig. It took about 4.5 hours per my last review.
I was told that I’d have to come on so they could price it. This after telling them that I live in nashville and will only be in the area for a couple days.
Price it? Really ?? Stay classy. If I’m going to pay to have it done, I’ll have an artist at home that I trust do it. A good artist will stand behind their work and make sure it looks good. After all, it’s an advertisement for their work.

Went in today for my first tattoo. Had a couple of pics of a Phoenix as a starting point and Feo took over from there to create his own design and coloring. Awesome job and very reasonable pricing. Highly recommend!

Feo is the BEST artist everrrrrrrr. It took me forever to find an artist that I could stick with for a lifetime and I am happy to say that I have been going to him for over a year now. He is awesome I recommend him to everyone!

Walked in on a Saturday and Feo took my idea and turned it into exactly what I wanted, and added his own artistic flair to make it awesome! I couldn’t be happier. The shop is very clean and has fair prices. A++!!

Worst piercing place in San Antonio. I went there to get a septum piercing and it was a horrible experience. The piercer is a cocky asshole who refused to put the piercing at the location i wanted to, claiming that he «knows what’s best.» ⁰⁄₁₀ would not recommend.

received my first tattoo from Steve. He was awesome! Very patient and really made sure that what I wanted was perfect. Other artists had made me feel unwelcome and embarrassed because of my nervousness, but I felt very comfortable with Steve an the shop. I will be taking my husband for a ¾ sleeve and friend for a cover up. Highly recommend!

My wife got ripped off last night, getting a tattoo here. Unfinished and unprofessioal job. My wife brought a picture of what she wanted. They said they could do it. It wasn’t difficult. The artist didn’t even make a stencil of the complete tattoo, and just stenciled a cross and three flowers my wife wanted. The cross was just outlined in black with no color or shading, and the flowers were poorly done. There was suppose to be a green vine wrapping around the cross, and it was nowhere to be found. The flowers represented our three children, one of which, was lost in miscarriage, and they knew this, so it was even more disappointing. I will have to take her somewhere else to get it fixed and finished. And, if you decide to go ahead and use them, DO NOT LET MARK DO THE WORK!!! Enter at your own risk. I had to give a star rating to post this, but unfortunately, there were no negative numbers, so I had to give it a 1.

Very impressed overall with Absolute. My husband wanted his first tattoo, a relatively simple patriotic one drawn from a stock flash image, and I had a tribal design from an artwork found online as my second. This was a spur of the moment decision to get done today, but this location seemed to have nothing but stellar reviews. Matt, our artist had a very impressive portfolio especially for those seeking lifelike renditions of people. (note, he is apparently usually at the Ingram Mall location). He offered suggestions during the selection, placement and inking — but always cleared them with us before doing anything and our desires overrode anything he suggested with no patronizing at all. Very impressed so far with the level of detail and attention to work even for two smaller simple tats. Overall the facility was very clean and no question about safety from cross contamination at all. I didn’t try the piercing studio at all, but their prices are significantly lower than what I paid for in Tulsa, OK for the same (tongue piercing). Will definately recommend then without reservation and will be back for more work!

First time I had one of my tats done by Absolute was about five or six years ago. My cousin knew the owners and everyone that worked there. It was very clean, the people were personable, and the atmosphere was really laid back. I brought in one of my Baby Phat shirts so that one of the guys could tat my back with the Baby Phat cat. He worked on it until he got the size that I wanted on it. I was floored at the great effort he put into the proof. He gave me suggestions on color shading and what would look good on me and gave me a couple of books on different types of fonts I could use for my name. I wanted to emulate the font that Baby Phat used as well and he just went with it. =D
The next time I went to Absolute was about a year ago and the owners’ wife still remembered me. Too cool, right? And even better — nothing much had changed (the atmosphere, the personalities) with the exception of the tattoo artists/​piercers. I laid out exactly what I wanted to them and again, I still got really good service by the time I got seen (they really go out of their way to make sure it’s how the customer wants it and not how the artist wants it which is what I love). He just made suggestions and cleared it with me BEFORE he did ANYTHING. Even though I was one of the last to be seen that night and this tat in particular was not an easy one at all… the artist was a little tired (it was about 1:00 am by the time I was seen) but he stuck with me until the job was done and made sure it was done right.
P. S. If for any reason, I’m incoherent in my explanation on this review of Absolute, I apologize… I’m TIRED… but my bottom line is: this place is really cool to get tatted at!
UPDATE: I finally added pics of one of my tats on my lower left ankle.
