Reviews of Virtue Tattoo

Kali Spencer

I took my girls in to get their ears pierced and had the privilege of working with Tim! He was absolutely amazing with them and made sure they knew what he was doing the entire time. He walked through each step of the process with them and made them feel super comfortable. I came in expecting at least one of them to cry and neither of them even flinched! Absolutely no tears at all. If I could rate more than five stars I would! Tim is experienced and knows what he is doing. The shop is clean and welcoming, plus there is a huge selection of piercings to choose from! I highly recommend going to Virtue for all of your piercing needs!

Haley Magar

I reached out to Ellen on instagram and was booked within a week and a half from my first message, and I’m so glad!! She did amazing on my first big piece and was very professional and knowledgeable. She worked with me on the design and I absolutely love the final result. I will definitely be coming back for more work!!

Alex Park

I got two amazing tattoo pieces done by Ericka in two days, back to back. She is an awesome artist with amazing line work. She's very courteous, professional, and super accommodating with even the slightest request (both with the art piece and with scheduling). I highly recommend Ericka to anybody that is serious about getting a tattoo. Also, the shop is VERY clean and all the artists work really hard to make sure it is spotless as well as making you feel comfortable/welcomed.

I am beyond satisfied with the results of my tattoo! Mr. Bill McBee is truly THE MAN! he knows his craft and made this experience an exceptional one!!! This was my second time back and I WILL be going again! Thanks Mr. BILL!!! 🖤 …

Katrina C

Went in for a conch piercing yesterday and everything was great! Tim was personable and professional, which made the process quick and easy. The girl working up front to get me checked in was great as well. The shop was very clean and they have a nice selection of jewelry to choose from. Definitely will be back for any future piercing needs!

Jodi Hill

I've been tattooed by Ericka (@batesbites) twice now, and it's been a great experience each time. They love to tattoo their flash, and are always energetic about pushing out new designs. It's so fun to see what they'll do next. From color to black and grey work, Ericka is always ready to work on a custom. If given enough reference photos and direction, they will come up with something truly unique. I highly recommend them.

Yasmin Hernandez

I previously got my nose pierced at another place and had a terrible reaction. I was recommended to Virtue Tattoo by a family member. I went in and everything was very clean. Tim did a great job and answered all my questions. One month later and my nose piercing is healing well and painless! Would definitely recommend to anyone with sensitive skin!!

Leigh Adams

Virtue Tattoo was great. It was extremely clean, professional, and Mr. Tim was so good at explaining the ear piercing procedure to my daughter. I am so glad we decided to wait until we could come here. I highly recommend this place for having your child’s ears pierced. We will be coming back with our second daughter when it’s time. Thank you Tim!

Caitlyn Huddleston

Got a walk in navel piercing, didn’t have to wait long and Rachell was very helpful and kind in helping me pick my jewelry and do paperwork, and Tim is a great piercer. He took me step by step and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Was a little nervous to show my stomach but I never felt judged once and everyone was very professional :) it was also super cute and clean inside. Definitely recommend!!!!

Reema Mehdi

Tim is the best for piercings! Very professional. Had my conch done as a walk in on a random Thursday. Was in and out in less than 30 minutes. The piercing to my surprise didn’t hurt at all! It was like butter. I highly recommend this shop simply because it’s clean, professional, and you will always be in good hands whether you are getting a piercing or a tattoo. I got a tattoo done here as well from Erika and she was awesome. Great staff overall, this is the best shop in town!

Samantha Raley

Ericka is a rockstar! She was so patient and kind while I was being tattooed. She has a huge selection of cool flash pieces and executes them beautifully. The shop is clean and everyone is so nice. Thank you again!

Veronica Velarde

My husband And I went in so I could get my nose pierced and he could get his tattoo. Great experience! Rachel guided me with some good info about the jewelry and some nose piercing education. My husbands tattoo that was done by Gabe, was freaking awesome (purple flower.) he took his time and really strategized on where to add the purple flower. At some point, he’ll have a complete sleeve. Talented guy! Y’all are awesome

Lisa Ayres

I was referred by two people, I called yesterday, didn't get an answer, so I sent a message. They responded within about 30 minutes. Shortly thereafter I got a phone call back. Really nice, helpful gent spoke with me about what I needed. I stopped in today and spoke with Astrid. She fixed a tension ball piercing. I was comfortable enough with her to get a piercing, so I got my right daith pierced. My guy had never been with me to get any modifications done (they're not his thing), but he enjoyed the process. I will definitely be back! I'm very happy to have found a great shop!

Carlos Martinez

Me and my girlfriend came to get our ears pierced. There wasn't anyone at the front desk when we walked in for the first 5-10 minutes. However!! Tim showed up and immediately asked us if anyone had helped us with a great attitude and smile.. We said no. We told him the reason for our visit and started getting the paperwork ready. We probably waited around 5-10 minutes after we signed the paperwork to get pierced. He was professional and informative. He made the process so easy. Thank you Tim.

Sarah Crawford

Fourth piercing with Tim. He’s great! Very through and makes you feel comfortable. Took a group of girls today and they enjoyed him as well! Great experience every time! Will keep going back as long as Tim is there!

Lindsay Ross

Went in for a couple ear piercings, a conch and a third lobe hole. Was in and out in an hour. Everyone was cool. They also didn’t give me the third lobe piercing because I didn’t quite have enough space and I love that they advised not to instead of taking my money and doing something that would be less than ideal for me. They have lots of earring options and a range of prices. I would definitely recommend Virtue!

Jillian Stewart

Ericka is my favorite tattoo artist! She is unbelievably talented and awesome to talk with. She’s done most of my tattoos and I will continue to go to her for quality tats! I have recommended her to anyone that asks me! Everyone in the shop is super cool and makes you feel comfortable.

Evie Leon

A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Ericka for my incredible new ink! She TOTALLY EXECUTED MY VISION!! 🥰🥰Also, shout out to everyone else for their exceptional customer service and professionalism! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️HIGHLY RECOMMENDED …

Eunice Mendiola

Ericka did an amazing job on my tattoo! She was very gentle and sweet and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable! The piece itself came out AMAZING, and the line work and coloring is perfect! Can’t wait to get another one done by her.

Beau Guthery

While they didn't have the jewelry I needed for a piercing I wanted since it was on the rarer side. They were super nice and knew what they were talking. They even recommend a place where they might have it in stock. Ill definitely be coming back when I need piercings!

Katebrooke 010

Just finished up my first tattoo removal session with Tim. It was an overall amazing experience. Tim did an amazing job explaining the whole process and made sure to answer any of my questions. I highly recommend going here for any of your tattoo removal needs.

Shelby Dominguez

Wow!! Found this gem of a studio via Instagram. Was looking for a reputable tattoo/piercing shop that had lots of jewelry options and Virtue Tattoo was definitely the place to be! Easy process from check-in, piercing, to check-out. Probably only took no more than 30 minutes! Loved the fact that I didn’t have to have an appointment and I could just walk in. Be prepared to be dazzled by all of the jewelry options because it was so hard to choose! All staff here that worked with me were friendly and super helpful. Tim who did my conch piercing and daith jewelry swap was above and beyond exceptional. So friendly and walked me through the whole process. I will definitely be coming back here for all of my tattoo and piercing needs. Cant recommend this shop enough!!

Aubrey A

I’ve gotten multiple tattoos done by Erica (@batesbites on Instagram) and have had a great experience each time. Erica is very talented and a great artist to work with. Staff is also great and the shop is clean. Highly recommend!

Beth G

Following a friend’s recommendation, we used Virtue Tattoo for my 10 y/o daughter’s ear piercing. This was an all around great experience. Tim explained everything to her in clear and simple language with just the right amount of information to inform but not to overly draw attention to the procedure. I would highly recommend Virtue Tattoo.

Sugar Free Retta

If you are interested in getting pierced, go to Virtue and ask for Tim. This wad my first time getting a nose piercing. It's so perfect. Tim is the only person in this world who I would trust to pierce me. I barely flinched. He talks you thru each step. The entire process from choosing the jewelry, to marking the perfect spot, to the actual piercing was a breeze. You don't need an appointment. I was so scared that I put of getting my nose pierced for decades. I'm so happy with my nose piercing. It's absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Tim. You are an earth angel. Sending you and your incredible staff love.

Danielle Smith

Tim pierced my nose and he was great! The shop was clean, neat, and all the staff was super friendly! I will definitely be returning to Virtue Tattoo for future tattoo and piercing needs, and I 100% recommend it to anyone!

Michelle Palacios

I go to virtue for all my piercings throughout the years of living in Houston and it is the only place I trust. Tim is so patient and nice when I’m a bit nervous. Always such a pleasant experience!

sheyanne kent

i got 2 friday the 13th tattoos done by Erika and i love them! she’s very efficient and does great work, would highly recommend! :)

Syphic

Super friendly for first-time piercers. Caring staff, Tim was great. Got my ears and navel pierced in little to no time at all! It really is a lot easier than you think.

Paige Oursler

I walked in to get a butterfly tattoo here a few days ago. I was greeted when I walked in and was immediately helped. Ericka did my tattoo & I am so obsessed with it! She did such an AMAZING job! She was very professional, quick and does great art work. I would highly recommend her for your next tattoo.

Paula Barreto Granados

Ericka is so talented and kind❤️ Great tattoo shop and great experience. also the vibe is nice and everything is very clean❤️

Louise Guevarra

Tim and Rachell were amazing! Tim was super friendly and answered all my questions about piercings in general and my plans for future piercings. Rachel was unbelievably sweet, patient, and helpful with my indecisiveness with picking my first piercing. Can't wait to go back to get my other lobe done and hopefully an industrial piercing in the future!

Itati Martinez

I got tattooed last year by Ericka, messaged her the idea and made on appointment. When I got to the shop, she showed me the designed and I made her redraw it a bit differently, Ericka was more than happy to do it for me. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Enjoyed talking each others ear off and would recommend her to others.

Bailey Crow

Ericka is the best!!! Got tattooed by her but trusted her enough to bring my 47yo mom back to get her first tattoo because Ericka is a total badass. the only person you need for tattoos, she can do anything and everything. go see ericka, hands down!! cleanliness is on point with the best of the best, and design/creativity is unmatched.

Jordan Hendriksen

I went to Bill McBee to get a skull headdress, he exceeded my expectations! The level of artistry, pure talent and delicate hand that went into the creation of his art was mind blowing . I am in awe of the beautiful piece he created. He is pure talent that is unmatched , I highly recommend Bill to everyone who wants the best tattoo and experience of their life .

Pamela Collings

Kathrine Quartz

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. My piercer, Tim Gooding, was perfect. Professional, respectful, friendly. He made me feel safe and in good hands. This was my first body piercing and I felt so comfortable with him I will definitely go back for more piercings when I have the money. But yeah for sure 10/5 stars will go again.

Ericka finished up a tattoo we started a few months ago and she did a phenomenal job both times! Loved her design and it turned out so much cooler than I could have imagined. Will be returning for more tattoos in the future.

Alicia Lacy-Castille

Rachell is EXTREMELY patient and knowledgeable. She made my experience seamless and positive. This is my ONLY go to place my body art and jewelry. As for Tim, ALWAYS EXCEPTIONAL in experience and guidance.

Holly Schofield

They were so helpful here, I felt really realized throughout the entire experience as well. The place itself was super clean and I loved that there was such a wide variety of jewelry choices. The piercing itself wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be and the whole process was super simple.

Maria Sony

I went here for a nose piercing today, and Tim did great! I love the piercing, and it was super quick and almost painless. I did have to wait a little bit, but it was worth it! 100% recommend :)

Great service! I got a piercing from Tim who was very helpful and knowledgeable. My husband got a tattoo from Dwight and it looks amazing! It's a clean shop with friendly artists.

I highly recommend this shop!

Les Joiner

I grew up in tattoo shops in the Pacific. The Navy serves me well. Tim the owner aned I shared. Some aquaintences and swapped storys. This shop is on a par with some of the greats, I took my lady there. She got a tattoo and 2 piercings.Both done well, very professional shop

Heather McKay

Tim and the other staff were very helpful and patient with helping me pick out jewelry for my piercing. Everything was clean and inviting and it didn’t take very long.

quinn durand

When I first met Bill McBee 5 years ago I have not needed to look else where to get a tattoo. His vision and skill of bringing to life what I want tattooed is amazing. I would like to thank Tim and all the good folks at Virtue Tattoo. Don’t hesitate or think twice to head there and get your ink customized.

Brittany Durand

Got a tattoo with Bill and my nose pierced with Tim. Super clean, nice shop, friendly, and accommodating. Hadn't gotten a tattoo in 5 years, it was great to be back in a shop. Already planning my next appointment. Highly recommended.

Laura Giang

Bryant and Tim were the absolute sweetest! Catered to every need with such patience and answered all of our many questions. This was my first time getting my ears pierced outside of my lobes and I wouldn’t have done it anywhere else, I felt so safe and welcomed here. Planning on getting tatted here too!

Leana Lopez

It was great, i was nervous but the girl who helped me was super helpful keeping me calm and talking to me throughout the process!

Tori Oldfield

This place is absolutely amazing. I have severe trauma from a tattoo gone wrong. When I went in, I was so nervous. My MiL and I were getting matching tattoos and my fiance was putting a deposit on his. I told the owner how I had severe trauma and they made the experience so much better and much less terrifying. I highly recommend Cabos. He did all of our tattoos and they look stunning! We will definitely be back! If I could give 6/5 stars I would.

Halle Richardson

I will only use Tim for my piercings!! He is so quick and easy! A very clean work area and my piercings always turn out great! Jimmy is GREAT!!! I got my second tattoo & third from him. I’m absolutely in love with my tattoo!! AMAZING artwork!! Edit: jimmy is no longer there so now I use Nate. He did an awesome job on such a simple tattoo I wanted. I will be using Nate for my future tattoos!!

O G

If you want some solid work check out Ericka Bates! I've had multiple pieces done by her & every single one is amazing. Customer for life.

Heather M Sessums

Tim was fantastic! I took my 6 year old daughter for ear piercing and he was great with her. I’ll definitely be back for my other daughter.

Taija Stoner-Harris

I had a great experience at Virtue for my nose piercing! The piercer, Tim, was very informative and helpful through the process. The actual nose piercing went smoothly and was nearly painless!

Vania Smith

Nate did my recent tattoo and was very friendly and did a great job! I’m very pleased with the way it turned out and will be going to him for another. I would recommend Virtue Tattoo for your tattoo and piercing needs.

Caroline D'souza

Tim is very professional and he did my ear piercing without a gun and directly with an earring. It is healing well and I would highly recommend this place to anyone as they are safe and hygienic.

Ash

Everyone here was so nice! I got my ears pierced and they made sure to explain the entire process as well as the post procedure steps for aftercare. Tim was so friendly and made sure I was 100% okay with the placement before proceeding. I definitely recommend this place!

Johana Morales

I really loved my experience with Virtue Tattoo. Tim has done great job on all 3 of my piercings.

Carlos revolution

Amber N.

Jas

I had a great experience Ericka did my tattoo she was friendly and super fast which was great for my first time. 10/10 would recommend.

Jerry St.Laurent

I got a fantastic piece from Sapo. I showed up with an idea and he took it and gave it his unique spin. Check out his work on instagram @Sapo_boijseauneau. Professionalism seems to be the baseline here at Virtue and I will definitely be returning.

Lane Ahmed

I went to get my nose pierced for my birthday and Tim was so friendly and welcoming. The process was so easy and he was very clear about everything that he was doing. Lots of selections but a little pricey.

Thongguy

I went here to get my nipples pierced. They did an amazing job and walked me through the process. I will be going back for a few tattoos that I want soon

Nikki

Bill is literally a god send. He did amazing. Everyone in the shop was nice. Just a great experience all together. 10/10

Casandra Morales

Great place! My niece and I came from out of town and found this place when we decided we wanted to get piercings last minute. The guy in the front (I didn’t get his name) was super welcoming and sweet! He made sure we were well informed about our piercings and explained all the after care. Paul was the one that did our piercings and he was very professional. Overall would definitely recommend!

Robert Johnson

Based on the many other excellent reviews on google, I decided to go to Virtue Tattoo for my first ever ear piercings. I got my lobes pierced and they look great. They had a good selection of jewelry, including titanium, gold and rose gold. My piercing was done by Paul, who was awesome. When I asked how long he’d being doing this - 18 years! That made me feel like I was in good hands right away. His demeanor was very calm and he explained the process as he did it. Got the piercings done quickly and with very minimum pain. The studs look great and I couldn’t be happier. A young man in the front completed my transaction and went over the aftercare with me very thoroughly (sorry didn’t get his name). Overall I was very pleased with this establishment. Another thing I noticed which I thought was really neat was how diverse the customers were. Just another cool thing about this place. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get a tattoo or piercing again, but I would definitely trust and go back to Virtue Tattoo!

V G

Erica did a little flash on me and a GWYG on my husband and the results sre gorgeous! I would do the 3 hour drive to see her in a heartbeat.

Alysia McClung

Tim is amazing and the people who work the front were so kind. I walked in looking to get my ears pierced but didn’t know what kind of ear piercings to get. They were so patient and professional, providing me advice each step of the way without pressuring me. I never felt obligated to purchase anything. Tim ensured everything was clean to the highest standard. The jewelry is gorgeous and they worked with my budget. I’m excited to get more piercings and know exactly where I will be going. I would highly recommend this place for your piercing needs.

jeremiah mercardo

Got my first tattoo by @batesbites on insta. It was a get what you get and it was very quick easy and clean, I loved the communication and whenever I had any questions they were very open and I loved that

Melanie Hymes

Tim did a great job piercing my daughter's lobes and my industrial. He is great with kids 🙂 …

Solid TC

I was very nervous going in for my piercing but Tim instantly started making me feel more comfortable as soon as I walked in. He was extremely professional and happy to answer every question I had. I would absolutely recommend getting a piercing here. I plan on returning to see about getting a tattoo as well.

Aetn World

Rachel (who was working at the front of the store) was EXTREMELY helpful and cool… she went out of her way to sell me the perfect pair of earrings and showed me all the varieties available from low to high price… 10/10 she gave a memorable experience. :)

ailani delgado

I love this place !!! Tim was super helpful and the people there were so sweet !!! The area was so clean! Definitely recommend to others

Irileria Muhammad

Erica is awesome. She did matching tattoos for my sister and I commemorating the drama we are experiencing expanding her business, “This too shall pass”. She is a professional and is courteous and patient with skittish people like me. I also purchased my nose jewelry and it is very high quality, and their service is good.

Jackie Salinas

They were welcoming when I walked in the store. Tim was really nice and the piercing was super fast and not painful at all. I love my new piercing. Thank you !

i i

Clean, professional, safe but the dude customer service felt force and pretentious. I feel very uncomfortable. The fact that our piercing is cost by the choice of our jewelry is kind of annoying to me. It is not a good vibe being there. Won't be back.

Saxon Solis

Ellen was so nice and gentle , this was my first tattoo and I had a great experience ! All staff is super friendly and welcoming I love my tattoo 😚 …

Vacou

I got tattooed by Nelson, it was calm and went by faster than I expected it to for my first tattoo, overall I had a good experience.

Caitland N

Got a tattoo from Cabos. 5 star service as always. But I'll be back to check out the other talented artists. They also offer piercings and walk ins. Make sure you follow them on Instagram so you don't miss out!

Joanna Canales

Nelson did my tattoo and he did such an amazing job!! Super fast and a light hand!!

Milcah Beltran

I went to Virtue this time for their Get What You Get tattoo special and absolutely love mine! Denilson did a great job personalizing it and was really fun to talk with. :)

Vanessa Roman

Got my tragus ear piercing! It was done professionally and not painful at all. Just a minor sting 🫶🏻 Love it !!! …

Geoffrey Gronning

They were very kind and out going. Did a wonderful job piercing my bonus daughters helix

Jason Cervantes

Ericka did an amazing job !!! Not only did she give me exactly what I wanted, but she went all out on details and did a beautiful job !! The staff was very friendly and professional ! My first tattoo experience was great because of staff !!! I will DEFINITELY be coming back for more tattoos !!! I Will be requesting Ericka as my artist every time that I visit !! :)

Orion Risher

Tim was very professional and put both myself and my daughter at ease. My daughter got her cartilage pierced and I got my nipples pierced. He didn’t make it awkward at all and we are both very happy with the end result. He made sure to show us how he sterilized everything and made the environment clean and friendly. I highly recommend going to him for any piercing needs.

Thumy Webb

I had a nostril piercing at Virtue Tattoo recently and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I called to see if I needed to make an appointment, and the woman who answered the phone was so professional and helpful (no, you do not need to make an appointment but it's first-come-first-served so there might be a short wait). The shop is very, very clean and the walls are covered with really nice framed flash art. The young man working the front counter was very friendly and helpful with getting me signed in and with choosing my nose jewelry. After filling out the paperwork and a short wait, Paul came to escort me to the private room where the piercings are performed. Paul was also really friendly and helpful, and very professional, confident, and efficient with the piercing procedure (which is what you want from someone who is making a new hole in your face, haha!). Afterward, the young man who checked me in explained aftercare in detail and gave me printed instructions as well. The folks at Virtue take pride in their business and provide incredible customer service. I can't recommend this place enough!

Amanda Zevallos

I came to Virtue Tattoo as a walk in for a “Get What You Get” tattoo. From the jump everyone was super kind and inviting. I’m no stranger to tattoos or tattoo shops and I have hands down never had such a pleasant experience. The shop was clean, organized, and had a welcoming vibe. Ellen did my tattoo and she was so professional and accommodating. I felt I was given the same attention and care with my simple flash tattoo as I would if I was getting a bigger custom piece. The shop was busy and I understand why, the quality of the work and care of the artists and front desk staff was wonderful. I’ll definitely be back and happily recommend Ellen and Virtue Tattoo to anyone who is looking for clean, professional tattoo service.

Mary Waller

Hello! I got my ear cartilage pierced here. It was quick and easy. The staff was super nice, and Tim did my piercing. He was very friendly and explained every step of the process and answered all of my questions. The entire establishment was very clean. I will definitely be returning for more piercings.

Jack Dolce

I came in as a walk in and did have to wait - but the wait was totally worth it! I heavily recommend booking an appointment to make your experience more tailored and timely, but either way, you’re in for a good tattoo. Dwight was my tattoo artist and he was super professional, kind, informative and a great artist. Book an appointment with Dwight for a fantastic experience and a beautiful tattoo. Bryan, the guy working up front was super nice as well, he made my friends and me feel super comfortable for our first tattoos! Will be returning for tattoo #2.

RicardoGames 02

Had an amazing time, he took his time and made conversation to keep me calm and stress free. Will come again, amazing work!

Traci Adams

Took my daughter in for her first nose piercing. Tim was amazing! He explained the process to both myself and my daughter and made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend!

Allison

I chose Virtue Tattoo because they had such high ratings and they did not disappoint! I had piercings done by Tim and he was great. I was super nervous but he made me feel comfortable and was able to get it done pretty quick. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Jessica Tolbert

I had a great experience. I got my belly button pierced. I was so nervous, but Paul was great. The guy at the front desk was super sweet, patient and helpful. The place was clean. Paul walked me through the steps. The procedure was so quick with minimum pain, and I love my piercing. I would definitely recommend this place.

Jessica West

Virtue tattoo is amazing! The staff, especially Tim, are fantastic, and really listen to what you want and/or are looking for and able to help you out! I've gotten all my piercings there and wouldn't go any where else!

My daughter and I wanted second ear piercings. Virtue Tattoo is clean, professional, friendly, and has a fantastic selection of piercing jewelry. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. They patiently answered all of our questions, never putting any pressure even as we took quite a while to select our earrings. Tim pierced our ears and did an amazing job. He was fun but also calm and kind when I got nervous. We definitely give the whole experience 5 stars!

alyssa munoz

I loved it! I had Ericka as my artist and they was very nice, I felt very comfortable the whole time. The tattoo came out amazing as well, I will definitely be going back there again!

This place is amazing by far because it’s clean, the employees are very professional, friendly & really respectful. My experience was by far the best service I’ve gotten at a tattoo/piercing establishment. The receptionist is super cool and knowledgeable as well as Tim (piercer). I got my Ashley done yesterday and he made it feel super easy and comfortable getting it because I didn’t really know what to expect. Everything was super sterile and that’s a big thing I personally look for. He took his time marking me to ensure it was straight and when it came to piercing time I barely felt it. He has 22 years of piercing experience so I’d definitely go in to see him if you are seeking a well seasoned piercer. 100% will go back for future piercings and tattoos later in the future, I know it’s going to be my spot to go to looking for these services!

S. Miner

I have gotten piercings and tattoos here and wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff are knowledgeable and do great work! And they do walk-ins! May have to wait but no appointment required.

Alexis Kirkpatrick

Ellen did me a rose tattoo for my Birthday and she was fast and very nice. I will be going back soon😍 …

atticus a

Walked in and got my septum pierced in less than 30 minutes! Super professional and quality work. Tim did a wonderful job explaining small things about the piercing and process. Love my new piercing! Would recommend this shop to anybody looking for quality work by professionals.

Savannah Nicholson

So first off I’m very very picky about places I will go to for piercings not really worried about price bc you always get what you pay for. Anyway this place is 10/10 they are very clean fast and they try to make sure it’s as painless and they are awesome at distracting if you need it I absolutely love my piercing I constantly want it to be seen. Oh and I absolutely cannot forget that it wasn’t that expensive well worth the money for what I got the piercer I had was very nice and very professional thank you guys so much!!!!! Also thank you so much to reception for teaching me about the care of my piercing way more than other places have ❤️❤️❤️

cami

The owner was super nice and accommodating! Very quick service, clean, and easy! Visited 4 times and it is beyond exceptional

Caroline

my artist was ericka, and my experience was excellent! the whole shop is such a welcoming environment, inclusive and safe for everyone! ericka designed my tattoo based on a loose sketch, and the final design was brilliant. super awesome artist who made me feel good about my decision making :) highly recommend virtue tattoo and especially ericka!!

Jessie Lane Martin

I had an upper thigh piece done by Ericka and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I’ve never felt more comfortable, I was able to laugh and talk with the artists while she worked, and it was over before I knew it. The shop had a great atmosphere and I can’t recommend Ericka enough!

Amber Stevenson

Tim is absolutely AMAZING!!! Got my nipples pierced and it was by far the best experience! He is SO professional and made me feel so comfortable! Absolutely painless!!! The place is super clean. Thank you again TIM!!!!

Sofia Perez

I got my helix pierced today and i absolutely love it! Tim walked me through it and it didn’t hurt at all. He did an amazing job and will for sure come again!

tera durham

I will always continue to come back and see Erica! The line work is fantastic and Erica is very quick, with the artistry still being top notch! Highly recommend the studio as well, very clean and great staff!

Tara Evoy

I brought my daughters (ages 9&10) into get their ears pierced. Tim did a fantastic job answering their questions and making the process stress-free and fun! I’d absolutely recommend Tim at Virtue to others looking for a positive piercing experience!

Jahla Thomas

My experience here was PERFECT! I received 3 ear piercings here by Tim and he made the process as smooth as possible. He was personable, friendly, and helpful. He even took it upon himself to show me how he sterilizes the needles and that they’re new and fresh EVERY time! With 20 years of experience under his belt, it definitely shows. He walked through each part of the process with me, thoroughly explained the steps and made sure I was comfortable as can be while getting pierced. They gave out aftercare instructions on a print out unlike other shops I’ve been to and had the necessary soap on hand! I truly loved my experience and appreciated all the care put into the services I received. Their jewelry selection was beautiful as well! If I want another piercing, I’ll be sure to return. Thanks again Tim!

Hoang Nguyen

Virtue Tattoo is an amazing place to go to for all piercing and tattoo needs. I’ve been here a handful of times already. Each time, I was given an excellent experience. Tim was so wonderful with helping me further curate my ears. He tested out different pieces and helped me choose the perfect jewelry each time! Nate did a fantastic job on a cover up tattoo on my thigh. I simply told him what I wanted and then gave him free reign on the design and colors. He did NOT disappoint whatsoever! He had a great eye for detail and made the cover up flawless. I’m so happy with how it turned out! I will definitely be coming back!

Jemeka Bell

Tim and Brian are very thorough and patient with their customers. It took me forever to decide on the vast selection of jewelry.

Amber Rachdi

Had a great experience with Tim as my piercer. I had my septum done last week and it was legitimately the easiest, lowest stress, and least painful one I've ever had done. I like the size of the jewelry he picked for my face, and healing so far has been a breeze. The shop has an old timey vibe inside and is immaculately clean. I'd definitely go back.

Deanna McMichael

Ericka was my artist. She made it an amazing experience. It was my first tattoo, so I was super nervous but she asked me if I needed anything before we started, checked in during and definitely made sure I felt prepared to take care of my tattoo afterward. I'll most definitely be going back to get more as I have plans for several tattoos that I want. Thanks for listening to my nervous rambling and the amazing tattoo! Can't wait to see it fully healed!

Edward Valentine

Tim is a piercing wizard! Went in to get my lobes pierced, excellent wait time and such a smooth procedure with 0 pain involved! Very impressed, will definitely be coming back for more :)

Nyja Quash

Jimmy's calm and positive attitude, friendliness, and professionalism was unmatched. The entire staff made me feel welcome. It was my first time at this studio and I definitely be returning. The quality of their work is unmatched. Everyone I saw come in were greeted with kindness and treated like family. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants anything from a nose piercing to a sleeve

Maria

I had a very good experience from the time I walked into the shop. They have a great selection of earrings to choose from. Tim greeted me and told me that my jewelry was autoclaving, as a health care professional, I really appreciate that. Tim was very nice and made sure everything was perfect for me. I will definitely come back.

Gannon O'Brien

Ericka was my tattoo artist, and she did exactly what I asked for. I even asked her to change the location (which I felt bad about), but Ericka still made it look exactly how I wanted. Easygoing atmosphere and got me in and out fast. Thanks!

Angelina Galvan

LOVED TIM!!! Was so good we went twice in one day! He made me feel so comfortable. I originally came in for an industrial piercing but it didn’t fit my ear he helped me find something I loved even more! Will definitely be coming back!

ana orion

My best friend and I went to get our noses pierced and it was great! i loved that they have a lot of piercings on display (wanted all of them). The guy was so nice helping us choose one and the piercing process was great and comfortable ^.^ definitely recommend!

Selah Neal

Insanely nice staff, loved the environment and super clean! I felt super comfortable being there! Def coming back

Chris Mcconico

Went to Tim to redo a nose piercing that wasn’t done correctly and kept sinking in further in my nose two days prior. Tim was very professional and extremely clean with sanitizing the equipment. Got me and my girlfriend out in less than 5 minutes and we couldn’t feel any better about the outcome! I highly recommend this shop and Tim for nose piercings and fixing a bad piercing!

MJ Diaz

NELSON did amazing work love it soo much had a good time. Best rattler there

Cornelius Miller

The guy with the traditional tattoos was rlly nice and made sure I was set and and ready to go !! Perfect customer service .

Malori Elsner

This is a great shop. They are very clean and do solid traditional tats. I've had 2 pieces, 1 by Jimmy and 1 by Dwight. I had a great experience both times. Definitely going back again. I haven't been pierced there, but went with my sister. It was super clean and healed perfect with no issues, the piercer was cool too though I don't remember his name.

lucinda jean

Got tattooed by Ericka (she’s awesome) and piercings by Tim, also V cool 😌 …

YungxJxyy

I went today for my FIRST tattoo experience & overall quality is straight up 5 stars. They were very nice and quick getting things started. Hospitality goes a long way! I was sat down and tatted by Jimmy, he made sure I was okay the entire time & answered any questions I had. Had a great conversation & my tattoo came out beautifully. Definitely coming back for more ink. HIGHLY recommend! Much Love - YungxJxyy

Kimberly Guice

If you are wanting a new piercing you should definitely go see Tim! Even if you are hesitant just go and talk to him. He is the kindest piercer I have interacted with and was very knowledgeable and patient which made me feel more at ease getting my piercing (I’m a pretty anxious person). He walks you through the sterilization process and everything he is doing so there are no surprises. The jewelry is definitely pricey but it is the highest quality. I have very sensitive skin and the jewelry they carry never gives me any issues. By far the best piercing experience I’ve had.

Stephanie Fowler

Jimmy was fantastic! He did my first ever tattoo. I can't say enough positive things about him. Great conversation and he really helped me become more comfortable. His aftercare instructions were thorough and he explains every step of the process. He is a true professional. Highly recommend, I will definitely back.

Aries -

I went today to get my septum done and Tim was so nice and made sure I was comfortable. He made sure all my questions were answered and that I was okay and it made the experience 100x easier for me, especially for how anxious I was! I even almost passed out after because I went on an empty stomach and they helped me lay down and gave me water and lollipop :) I'm definitely going to come here again if I want a tattoo, or another piercing!

shell osborne

Tim was amazing from start to finish! Came here to get my daughter's nose pierced. We were greeted immediately upon walking in and he thoroughly explained everything from sterilizing the needle to aftercare. Overall, this was a great experience and I'm certain we'll be back!

zoey pitman

They were absolutely fantastic! I went in to get my Tragus and my Daith pierced. Tim was very professional and made sure that I was very comfortable through the whole process. The shop is very clean. I will definitely be going back to feed into my piercing addiction!

Stacey Martin

We had an amazing experience at Virtue, both with tattooing and piercing. The shop is extremely clean and the staff is very experienced. Dwight did my latest tattoos, and he took the time to help me pick just the right script. He was quick and professional. I plan on getting additional tattoos at Virtue, as we all know, they are addicting. Tim is the best piercer ever! He pierced my daughters ears, and he was surgical like a doctors office. Tim is super personable, and explained everything he was doing so that my daughter felt comfortable. Her jewelry is superior quality and something she can keep forever. When it was time for her earrings to come out, my kid would only trust Tim to take them out. He was gracious and patient enough to take them out for her. The vibe in the shop is super relaxing and cool. I referred a friend for her first tat, she also had an awesome experience. If you are considering a new tattoo or piercing, do yourself a favor, and simply head to Virtue. Very happy customer!!

Meagan Ricks

Bryan at the front was amazing so sweet and friendly, Paul was an amazing piercer he double measured my other piercing to make sure they where gonna be lined up, and did a great job, barley felt it compared to the other nostril at a different shop.

Theresa Losoya

I got my daughter's cartilage pierced today. The staff was very nice and helpful. The wait was not very long and Tim did an awesome job. I was very pleased with my visit and will definitely be returning.

Kelly Z

I got my helix pierced, along with a few extra piercings on my ear lobes. Tim is amazing! Super talented, professional, and friendly. Everyone who works here is incredibly kind. The employees take sanitation seriously, which is so nice. I highly recommend.

Onyeomachi

I got my ears pierced by Paul today after years of avoiding piercings due to a bad experience. Paul was super patient as I relayed my piercing history to him and 100% assuaged my fears of having a repeat. He very graciously answered all my questions before we started and told me exactly what to do to avoid developing scarring and told me if I had any issues to come back to him. I felt super comfortable proceeding with the piercing and actually am interested in getting more just because of this experience. I won’t let anyone else pierce me going forward. The shop is great and the man with the glasses who was at the front desk (didn’t get his name) was so wonderful as my friend I were indecisive about choosing jewelry. There was slight wait because the shop was busy but we didn’t even care because the man was so nice!

Tiah Njomo

I got my first tattoo done by Ericka and she’s literally the sweetest! She took my design and added some of her own touches which was very nice! She was calming and I felt 100% comfortable! I’ll definitely be going back to get my next tattoo done by her again :)

Angela Cuellar

I came here for the first time as a Walk-In, I spoke with Ericka, who did my tattoo, she was super chill and welcoming. The shop itself is very clean and professional, Ericka did an outstanding job and I will be coming back.

Tricia Ray-Lestarjette

I LOVE the customer service here. I had my nose pierced in August 2020 and and my ear pierced in September 2021. Tim was nothing but polite and kind. He took his time explaining everything and made sure both piercings lined up with my other existing piercings and my own facial symmetry/anatomy. I have been pierced at other locations in Houston, and while they did a good job, the piercers were know-it-all jerks and I left annoyed and put off each time. This place takes its exceptional knowledge and adds great customer service to it. Plus, they sell high-end piercing jewelry, which is very hard to find in the Houston area. I highly recommend you look no further for a piercing!

ana espinal

Very friendly and super duper clean. Recommend this shop to all!!!! Got my nostril pierced and saw the tools get sterilized in front of me. As I waited Jimmy was kind enough to give me tattoo pricing. Thank you again Tim for my piercing that I love and I will be coming here again. See ya soon.

Brooke Johnson

We had an amazing experience getting my 8 year old daughters ears pierced at Virtue Tattoo. No appointment, just walked right in. She was really nervous when she saw the tools, but Tim talked her through the entire process and she did awesome! Everyone was really nice and easy to work with. Great selection of jewelry too! Highly recommend.

Jennifer Oden

I went to virtue Tattoo on a recommendation about 2 years ago now. I was nervous at first but Tim made me feel comfortable there. Long story short, 10 piercings later and planning at least 5 more, I am Extremely Happy with them. Very Sterile, Professional, my piercings are all Beautiful & Straight, & they have a HUGE selection of earrings, for all piercings, to choose from. I HIGHLY Recommend Virtue Tattoos & Piercings. Jennifer

Kaylamae Loomis

Tim was AMAZING! so was the girl working the front desk, she was such a sweetheart ! Brought my friend to get a piercing for her birthday. He explained everything as he was doing it and made sure we saw him sanitize everything. The piercing was so quick and virtually painless. Absolutely love this place

uncle kevin

Very good service I felt really cared for ! One of the best piercers I’ve been to

corina evans

I have been here twice. Once for a tattoo and the second time I got a piercing. Tim did a great job with my piercing. He explained the whole process and sanitized everything in front of me. Jimmy did my tattoo and he did a great job! He took my idea and created a design that would be better and last longer and explained why it would be better. I love my tattoo. The customer service was excellent. The shop is very clean and they make sure they communicate everything to you. I will definitely be coming back!

Danae Roberts

I got my first tattoo here, and the staff was fantastic. Jimmy did a great job of walking me through the process and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Would recommend this place for anyone!! I walked-in, and only had to wait 5-10 minutes. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Anna L

I came to Virtue Tatoo with my teenage daughter to get her cartilage pierced. She was anxious, but the gentleman who pierced her ear was very good and quickly made her comfortable. I was impressed with cleanliness of the place. The gentleman walked us through each step, he put her earring in autoclave in front of us and showed proof that it was properly sterilized. The technique was so good my daughter was comfortable throughout the process. If she wants additional piercing we will come back.

Briana Cardenas

I have had a regular earring piercing but was wanting a cartilage piercing and I am SO Happy!! The place is friendly and welcoming. Tim walked me through the entire process of picking a piece for the piercing to the sterilization of everything! It was a short process and a great experience! I got my piercing and piece for $95 total. If you’re thinking about coming, do it.

Jennifer Bayard

I came in for a tattoo consultation with Ellen. I didn’t have a specific tattoo I wanted her to do, just a general idea of what I like . She took pictures of what I already have and drew something up for me and I loved it . She was able to fit me in same day which made it even better ! She even took the time to come up with some great ideas on how we could finish out my sleeves and do a cover up as well. The shop was clean and Ellen was great. I will definitely be going back !

Majesty Dixon

I had an AMAZING experience at Virtue Tattoo earlier today. I called beforehand to get the shop minimum and to see if I should make an appointment. I was greeted in a courteous manner and everything was explained to me perfectly. I went in and was greeted my Tim, the piercer, who was very warm and kind and asked me what I wanted done. I didn't get a piercing on this visit, but every interaction I saw that he had with a customer was phenomenal and I could tell he was very knowledgeable. Jimmy did my tattoo and was very patient and understanding when it came to creating the perfect image I would be happy with. He also recommended the best placement for me. He was also knowledgeable and answered my questions thoroughly. I couldn't stop telling him how awesome the shop was! He took his time and made sure my tattoo came out perfect, and I am so in love with it! The place is super clean and smells clean (which is really important to me) I couldn't be more than happy with my experience, and I will definitely come back in the future. I definitely recommend Virtue Tattoo for all of your tattoo/piercing needs!

Sarah Vincent

Nate has done extremely beautiful work on my first tattoo with him and also a cover up. Tim is also a great piercer! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone I know. And I will continue to come back for all my modification needs.

Cheyenne Stott

Just got my first piercing done here and I have absolutely no complaints. If you're going to get a piercing, I highly recommend Virtue. Tim was very kind, patient, and you could definitely tell he enjoys his job! The whole experience was super fun. Minimal pain and we laughed the whole time! The shop is very clean and welcoming. He even walked us through the sterilization process and let me watch him put the jewelry in the autoclave. I'll definitely ask Tim to do any future modifications!

alina gboboh

Paul did my piercing and he was really nice, and I felt comfortable throughout getting my piercing! Also the staff there were very nice as well

Diamond Merced

Nelson did my tattoo and it came out amazing . Thank you once again !

sonychu

I came to Virtue Tattoo to get my earlobes pierced and had a fantastic experience! Tim was friendly and professional through the whole process. He was also understanding with my need to lay down during the piercing process and very accommodating. The shop was clean and welcoming with lots of art on the walls. I'd gladly go back for any more piercings and recommend this shop to anyone!

Ashton Bailey

I had a great experience at Virtue tattoo. The minute you walk in, they are friendly and full of good energy. All very helpful. Jimmy was my artist and has been twice now. He always makes it happen and it’s better than I could have imagined. Won’t be going to a different shop. 10 out of 10!

Khesli Johnson

Great place! Jimmy did my tat. He was very helpful. He explained the process very thoroughly since it was my first tattoo. There was no wait since I got there at opening. The whole process was smooth & quick! I knew just what to do since it was explained. After care directions were given on a piece of paper, along with ointment for healing. The shop is very clean. I loved it. I’ve had no issues with my tattoo. I will definitely be back!

Stephanie

Went to Virtue to check the place out and get a consultation on a small tattoo I was looking to get. Immediately Jimmy approached me to discuss the tattoo and was very accommodating to my schedule and even offered to do it same day. Price was great for the work he did and he was a pleasure to converse with during the process. His work is beautiful. (I Checked out his IG) and my tattoo came out perfect. He was very thorough to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it. He also drew out the image I brought in rather that just blowing it up. 10/10 I will definitely ask Jimmy to do the other tattoos I have been planning.

Vivian Lu

Came here on a whim because I constantly drive by, mostly to look for new jewelry to replace a helix piercing, but my soul has been craving another piercing over the past year. I came in as a walk-in and was happily greeted by their staff. I honestly did not see anything that spoke to my heart to replace my current helix jewelry, but I saw another piece that I absolutely loved. Yep, I guess I'm getting another piercing instead. You can tell that cleanliness is one of their top priorities as the entire shop was clean and Tim walks you through the sterilization process prior to piercing. He proceeded to do his thing and pierce my ear with precision, ease, and causing very minor discomfort that lasts a brief second. I appreciated that Virtue takes extra COVID precautions. Each guest is required to wear a mask, as expected, but only the customer that is getting a piercing/tattoo is allowed to be in the shop. Otherwise any other accompanying guests must wait outside in their vehicle to minimize the amount of people in the shop. I didn't catch the employee's name, but props to you for calmly explaining this to one of your customers while he was obviously upset about this rule! Walked in expecting only to change jewelry, walked out getting a completely new piercing. Great experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Jennifer Hatfield

I got my first tattoos ever from Jimmy. He was awesome!! He made me feel very comfortable and explained everything before doing it. I told him what I wanted and he drew it perfectly and exactly what I had in my mind. The shop was very clean and the staff was very friendly! I will definitely be back and will recommend Virtue to my friends!

Tristan Peralta

Bates tattooed me and they were super awesome, sweet and did an amazing job

Gabby Pierce

I came here on a busy Saturday night to get my daith and nostril pierced. Despite how busy it was, we were helped promptly and the entire process didn't take long at all. The guy at the front, whose name I didn't catch, was very friendly and helpful. Tim did mine and a friend's piercings, and he was great - very personable and professional, and answered all of our questions. I love my piercings and will definitely be back!

LO

Went yesterday with my friends to get some piercings. The whole experience was wonderful from the moment we stepped into the shop to the moment we left. Tim walked us through his process and made me feel at ease. I got a helix piercing and I absolutely love it! Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Monica Mesrahi

I had a wonderful experience at Virtue Tattoo. Tim was an excellent piercer. I went to get my helix pierced (my first ear piercing aside from my lobes) and he walked me through the entire process. He was very friendly and receptive to answering my questions and addressing my concerns. In fact, he encouraged questions! He sterilized everything in front of me before the procedure and afterwards he explained how to care for my piercing and gave me a paper with the care instructions in case I forgot. He made sure he had addressed all of my concerns prior to my leaving. I’m glad I chose this place over others for my piercing. It was clean and the staff were very professional. I have already recommended Tim’s work to one of my friends and she is planning to get a helix done as well. You will not be disappointed!

Robert vaughn

I took my wife for the daith piercing. She was so happy with Tim professional matter. The whole area was super clean and bright. They all made her feel so comfortable. And her headaches have lessened. Thank you, Tim and Virtue!!! Sincerely, The Vaughns

Ramboner

Went in to get my ears pierced for the first time. The expert has many years of experience, explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. Was very hygienic during the procedure and made it a great experience overall. Will definitely come back in the future

Melanie McCord

Tim is extremely professional, informative, and friendly. I 100% recommend getting piercings done by him. Update: I recently got a tattoo from Jimmy. He did a great job explaining why it should not go below a certain spot on my wrist so that i would be happy with my piece. Jimmy did a fantastic job and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Shoa Abedi

Tim the owner is a wonderful guy. He is so welcoming and attentive. This place has everything you need if you want a tattoo from beginner to the veteran. Highly recommend this place.

Maria G

Walked in to get two ear piercings and I loved the experience the minute I got into the building… great staff and atmosphere.. Super cute jewelry. Tim, you truly rock! It was fast and painless… I’ll be back soon.

O M

Went in for a quote. Came out with a two tattoos. Jimmy was my tattooist. Did an amazing job ! Love the work. Clean lines. Most definitely recommend. Will be going there for future work ! Awesome place everyone is chill friendly. Clean, they go over everything with you.

Caitlyn Stanford

This is the first tattoo parlor I’ve ever been to and I’m so glad I went with them. I did a walk in for a nose piercing and they were very accommodating. I got to pick my jewelry, and then Tim walked me through the whole sterilization process, and when it was done made sure I knew it was all sterile. He walked me through what was going to happen and I was done in a matter of minutes. The whole process including wait time was maybe 15-20 minutes. They’re great, definitely recommend and will be back to get my ears redone!

iAmMariette

It was my first time I was doing a Tragus and I was super nervous! They were very comforting and the process was super painless and Tim was great. He doesn’t make you feel nervous and he has a light hand for piercings. Would definitely recommend this place!

Lauren Carter

I was tattooed by Ericka at Virtue Tattoo and she is hands down the best. I use a wheelchair so getting a tattoo is a little more challenging for me than the average person. Ericka didn’t even bat an eye. She worked with me and was so understanding. She’s a beautiful artist (found her on Instagram and loved everything she did; her handle is @batesbites) who really cares about her clients. The shop is clean and the staff are super professional and inviting. I can’t wait to finish my piece. You are missing out if you don’t make an appointment with Ericka.

Karah Soliz

My experience at this shop was wonderful i received my second tattoo from Jimmy he was super nice and talked me and my mom though everything that was going to happen and created the tattoo that we both wanted. definitely would recommend this place to my family and friends. the shop was also very clean and kept up with and their pricing is very reasonable too. definitely a 10/10 experience. if you’re getting your first tattoo or even another one this is the best place to go to.

Lara Elliott

I have had a piercing done by Tim and multiple tattoos by Jimmy. They are both very professional. The piercing by Tim was fast, clean, and healed well. All of the tattoos by Jimmy look amazing, have bright color and clean lines. Highly recommend this shop!

Kimberly Francis

My friends and I finally went and got our noses pierced together and I was so nervous it would be so painful but Tim was so calming and made the process so quick and painless. The actual piercing was so fast it was crazy! He paid attention to every detail in regards to sterilization and even has a pretty awesome air purifier to ensure everything's is germ free! Who knew 35 years and older gets nose piercings! Our age won't define us!

Danielle Shreve

Jimmy was very nice!! He did semi-matching tattoos for myself, my sister, and my mom. They turned out so good! No scarring! He did very well and kept his work station clean every time he tattooed one of us. Virtue tattoo is definitely recommended!

Savannah Rose

I got my first helix piercing here and I couldn’t be happier! The staff is very friendly and Tim is awesome! The shop was also super clean and he showed me how they sanitize their equipment, so I had no worries!

Kim Nguyen

Awesome staff. Jimmy was my artist. Very professional. Very friendly. Clean place. I was beyond happy with my tattoo!! Tim pierced my daughter’s nose. Great jewelry selection and you get to see your piercing instrument get autoclaved in front of you. What more could you ask for.... super great experience...

Dewainia Lewis

Tim did a great job on piercing my daughter’s nose! Being that it was her first piercing, he walked her through the entire process and made her comfortable and at ease. I definitely recommend him and will be coming back.

Emilia Gutierrez

I got my cartilage piercing here today, I was attended by Caroline as my receptionist, she was very kind and patient when it came to all of my questions and my piercer was Tim, he was quick, showed me the sterilization proccess. He marked the spot where the piercing would go and once I loved it he finished the job in 10 seconds, I love my piercing thank you so very much.

rebecca reed

Jimmy did my tattoo and he was BEYOND great! They were busy when they first opened But free’d up later that day. Jimmy was super professional and very attentive! He wanted to make sure my tattoo (even though it’s small) was perfect for ME. Great conversation and you can tell he loves what he does! HIGHLY recommend you go for any/all your tattoo needs! Will be going back for future tattoos!

Quentin Babb

Had a fantastic first tattoo experience here with Jimmy! Clean, concise, knowledgeable and helpful. Overall a really solid guy and great shop! Definitely would recommend, come ready with your idea and trust their expertise. These guys will take care of you!

McKenzie Uzumaki

I went in to do a nostril piercing and Tim was great! He showed me how they sanitized the needles before hand and was very friendly and easy to talk to. I really like the atmosphere of the shop and plan on returning. :)

Trent M.

Went to get my girlfriend’s ears pierced a couple weeks ago (3 total piercings). Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Tim did an awesome job with her. Piercings are symmetrical and clean. Zero pain for my gf (which is huge because she has a super low pain tolerance and hates needles). Minimal swelling and healing very well. We will definitely recommend to anybody looking for a nice place to get holes punched in them.

Cornell Johnson

Had a great experience with my nose piercing. Facility was clean and Tim was a great and so professional. Brian made paperwork easy to fill out. Going back and would recommend to anyone.

Veronica Acevedo

Saw Cabos’s work on IG and was obsessed. Set up an appointment with him last week and went in today to get my hand and fingers done, absolutely NOT disappointed. He was laid back, clear about his vision, and the whole place had a good atmosphere. 10/10 recommend.

Stephanie Phan

As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile. Jimmy is extremely talented and professional He made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He explained everything that he was doing and made me feel at ease. The shop was clean and inviting. I would definitely recommend Jimmy and Virtue Tattoo to anyone who wants a great experience.

Tim did a great job on my cartilage ear piercings. He was helpful and professional. I was glad to see the shop uses an autoclave to steralize their single use equipment. My piercings were done quickly and so far I have had little swelling or pain. I would highly recommend Tim if you are looking for a piercing.

Katie Cox

We brought my 6 year old to get her ears pierced today and had a fantastic experience. She was very nervous but Tim did an amazing job at keeping her calm and explaining the whole process to her. Zero tears were shed and not once did she get upset. Everything was sterilized in front of us and process was very quick! We were super impressed with everything and highly recommend Virtue Tattoo!

Chris Wrenn

I've been to Virture tattoo about 4 times in the last 4 months (and have gotten 4 tattoos). I could not be happier with the quality of work these guys put out. This is my go to spot now any time I get the itch for a tattoo. Dwight did my 1st at the shop and Jimmy has done the rest. I definitely recommend this place. This place is clean and the the staff is beyond friendly. If your looking for a tattoo, this is definitely a spot you should consider.

Diana Alvidrez

I Initially came in for a nose piercing and Tim was super helpful and nice. The piercing was fast and not too painful. Then I decided to get two small butterflies with Cabos and he did a really good job. I have a couple tattoos and of course they have been a little painful but I noticed that Cabos was really gentle which made the process painless.

Arona Cooper

I am so in love with Virtue Tattoo. The service is outstanding. People are very professional, helpful, nice & respectful. Appearance is everything very clean. Tim is 100, hospitable and attentive to his customers. Keep doing what you do. If you need a tattoo, piercings, etc Virtue Tattoo’s is your place!!!

Missy Po

Tim is a godsend!! He's knowledgeable, honest and will make sure your piercings are the right fit! You're crazy if you go anywhere else. They fully stand behind everything (piercings and jewelry) and will make you feel comfortable & at ease during the entire procedure. He also educates you and will give you his professional & honest opinion when you have questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Cassandra Twining

I had such an amazing experience!! I got my Tragus pierced here and it was nothing but amazing. They did such a good job presenting me with my options and all the jewelry was very high quality. I am severely allergic to nickel and none of their jewelry had nickel and it was so nice being able to pick whatever I wanted. They were very safe about covid and showed me all of their cleaning procedures before hand! They even sterilized my piercing in an autoclave!!! So cool! The piercing looks great and it was overall a wonderful experience, this was my 10th piercing and definitely the best experience. I will definitely be going back and 10/10 recommend this place.

Cynthia Nguyen

Wow! I had such an awesome experience at virtue tattoo with Tim for my daith piercing. I was so nervous because of a previous experience somewhere else but tim was so awesome. The place was clean and Tim was so friendly and patience. The actual piercing part turned out to be a breeze. I barely felt anything. I was so impress and so happy with the end result. I wish I had found virtue tattoo earlier for all of my other piercings. I'll def be back for all of my jewelry needs in the future. Thanks Tim you were awesome!

Chris Rios

Tim did great with my rook piercing, it was super quick and I was extremely nervous it was going to hurt. He walked me through the process and it didn't hurt. I went back the next day to get my daith pierced and was for sure it was going to hurt based on what I had read. Nope it was just pressure and extremely fast. I will definitely use Tim for any future piercings I need!

Kyera Brittian

Jimmy was an awesome artist with a super cool personality. Made me feel so comfortable being this was my first tattoo. He was really knowledgeable and gave me great advice about my tatt. Love my new tattoo! Thank you Jimmy and Virtue Tattoo. You guys rock!

Kimberley Strahan

After my grandmothers recent passing i found something with her hand writing on it & wanted it tattooed, so Jimmy was able to recreate it to a “T”, he’s the was the best! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it already!!! He did a great job! Very professional, sympathetic & communicative! I absolutely love the work he did! Ask for Jimmy, he won’t disappoint ya!

Devon Parsons

came in to get a fairly large piece done by Erika and she absolutely killed it! She was super sweet and kept conversation going. Don’t let the location fool you, the artists in here are TALENTED

natasha chaisson

I had gotten my first tattoo with Dwight and it was a great experience! I was really nervous about getting one but the place has a nice atmosphere. Dwight made the process really easy going and he's very professional. It's a place I would definitely return too.

Celeste Ghoussoub

My friend and I wanted a place we could trust and that was clean to get our second piercing. We’re very picky people, especially when it comes to choosing a place that lets us use our own earrings. We decided to go on google and we found this place. We called to ask about their pricing and a lady named Caroline or carolyn (I’m so sorry love if I’ve butchered your name) well, she was very sweet over the phone, professional, and knew what she was talking about. She answered all of our questions. When we went to the store, we met her and she gave EXCELLENT service!!! Thank you girl!!! Definitely recommend and I will DEFINITELY be come back here again one day to get tatted by them <3 OH, they were also very, very clean and sanitary. That’s my biggest pet peeve and they are a place that followed all regulations. Amazing.

Jessica Miller

I had a great experience! I found Virtue Tattoo on Instagram when I was trying to find piercing studios in Houston with more/fancier earring choices. I went in without an appointment and was promptly assisted by Tim who was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable . I found exactly what I wanted and he changed out my cartilage earring for me. I plan to come back here for all of my future ear piercings. They also can custom order pieces for you if they don't have exactly what you're looking for. Great experience, clean environment, friendly staff! Can't wait to go back!

Kurt Kopczynski

Fantastic first tattoo experience. Nate did an excellent job on my tattoo and nailed the intricate shading I wanted. The shop was super clean/sanitary and had relaxed vibe. My wife also had a great experience getting her nose pierced by Tim. I’d recommend the shop to anyone in the Houston area looking for a top-notch tattoo or piercing.

warisha chisty

The best piercing/ tattoo shop I've been to in Houston! The environment is friendly yet creative with the different tattoos on the wall. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a friendly face, Tim! He explained to us the whole process and gave us the paper work to fill it. We looked at the beautiful collection of jewelry he had with amazing prices! The quality is worth the money. He showed us how everything is sanitized which most places would not do. I got a daith piercing and it was painless!! The process was quick and easy!! I would rate 10/10 best experience I've had for a piercing. I later went and got my old cheap jewelry from another shop replaced. My piercings are healing painlessly. Tim is the best!! I recommend the shop to everyone!

John Francis

Went in with my wife and friends last week and had the best time, we all left with amazing tattoo's, didn't matter the artist! All of these guys are the real deal and amazing artists! I was so impressed by the cleanliness and positive environment of Virtue Tattoo that we brought our daughter to get her ears pierced for the first time. Top notch people, tattoo's and piercing's all the way around! Highly recommend!

Hellojoanna_

WHERE CAN I START?! They hype for Tim is real!!! He's literally the most nicest, knowledgeable and personable piercer I've ever encountered! I drove 40mins to just get piercing advice from him but ended up getting another piercing since he made me feel so comfortable! ALSOOO.... The jewelry he carries *chef kisses* BEAUTIFUL!!! 10/10 recommend!!!!

V L Holley

Tim was amazing! Very knowledgeable, professional and honest. Explained the process every step of the way. I was a little upset that I couldn’t get the piercing I wanted but I appreciated his honesty about my ears not being suitable for the piercing I wanted. Other shops would have taken my money and botched the job I’m sure. Honesty goes a long way with me. I’ll definitely return and recommend Virtue to others. Thank you!

Ro

I drive an hour just to visit this shop. I got all four of my piercings done by Tim. Nice guy, professional, clean, and a character. Just waiting on septums to begin so I can get it done there as well.

Betsy Vasquez

So I have been coming to VT for about 2/3 years and I always go back for my piercings and tattoos. Nate is amazing and is my tattoo artist - he is honest and will tell you if something wont look good on you. He is proud of his work and is puts effort into all of his pieces. He has done 3 tattoos for me so far and I love them all. The shop is SUPER CLEAN, the staff is really awesome (not pretentious d-bags like in some other shops). Trust me...if you want quality...go to Virtue!

Rosa GM

I got a tattoo by Ericka, and it came out great!! She understands and cares deeply about the placement and quality of the tattoo. Another artist was in the room, their name was Cabos, and he is great as well! Had a great time getting tattooed here, great environment and safe place!

Bhrennan Donnell

Me and my wife both got tattoos here, both from Jimmy. Dude was great! It was my first tattoo, just second, and he talked to us the whole time and made sure to take care of us. I told him I was feeling light headed and he gave me some time and a lollipop to help me out. Definitely going to come back for my next tattoo, and definitely gonna try to get Jimmy to do it again!

Vi Newton

Tim is the absolute best. I came in for a flat piercing and have been back several times. His service is always stellar.

Ece Kose

Tim is amazing. He was so friendly and nice. He made me feel comfortable about getting my cartilage pierced, he assured me about how safe and clean it was. I will definitely go back to him for another piercing and probably tattoos. Definitely worth the price.

Inaara Jivanee

Jimmy had tattooed my mom, my dad, and I, and he did a really good job. The shop itself was very clean and the people that I interacted with, including Jimmy, were very nice. The tattoos for all three of us came out very nicely and healed well. I’ll be returning again for sure.

Vonnie Hanson

Words cannot express the love I have for my new tattoo. Jimmy is by far one of the best artists in the world in my opinion. Such a welcoming environment, and amazing staff. I’ve never had an artist pay such close attention to detail the way Jimmy does. If you haven’t checked out this shop you’re missing out!

Marleny Campos

I got a new septum piercing done by Tim Gooding & it was such a great experience! He showed me how they sanitize their tools & explained the whole process to me. It was such a great environment & he made me feel comfortable. I didn’t feel nervous at all. I will definitely come back in the future for piercings!

Shaunae Tolson

I got a tattoo today by Dwight and my experience was so AMAZING. I only intended to get a consultation but he took me as a walk-in and I got my tattoo about 2 hours later. I brought in a design and Dwight paid so much attention to the detail of the picture that it took him a while to draw it because he was trying to do it exactly as he saw it. I completely appreciated his desire to make sure that I had exactly what I wanted and once I explained to him that I just wanted the concept in the picture and he could draw it in his own way, he recreated it PERFECTLY. He was very precise in his work and made me feel very comfortable. His aftercare instructions were thorough and he even told me to come back after it completely heals for a touch up if I see spots that need an ink fill-in at no charge! This is the place to go if you want a clean establishment, great customer service, and talented artists.

Michael Olivares

I hadn’t been to this establishment in years, but it was just as clean & friendly as I remembered it! The tattoo artist, Jimmy, who did my tattoo was super cool and made sure the experience was smooth. & my tattoo came out perfect! I’ll definitely go back in the future.

Ann Jo

It was my first time getting a tattoo and Damian Ellen did a wonderful job. She was very patient and skilled. The place is very clean and everyone is really friendly. Overall,I will recommend this place to anyone

Kori Biller

I took my 5 yo daughter in to get her ears pierced and Tim was absolutely incredible! He was patient, compassionate, kind, silly, informative and everything a little girl (and her momma) needed for this experience. Hands down, best in town! We made a second trip a few weeks later because my daughter lost one of her earrings and her hole had started to close up and Tim, again, was quick, efficient, and even had everything sterilized and waiting for us when we got there so we were in and out! He handled the situation extremely professional. Couldn’t recommend him any more! Superb 👍🏻

Maggie Johnson

Nose piercing done done by Tim. Looks great, no issues. Tim was nice, professional and they have decent prices. Unfortunately, will be going elsewhere for a tattoo, don’t doubt they do great work but while getting a quote from one of the artists he was very dismissive and rude.

Marie C

Went to get my first tattoo and was super happy with my experience, clean environment, workers are wonderful and very talented . Dwight Bomer did my tattoo and he did an amazing job , prices were great too. I love how you don't need an to schedule an appointment you can just walk in and there open almost all day too. 👌👍 …

Danny Garcia (Danzman22)

Absolutely loved getting my tattoo done here. All the workers had their facial coverings and did a great job keeping everything clean to prevent the spread of diseases. Jimmy gave me an amazing tattoo and I will definitely be coming back here to get another piece soon!

Sharee Minor

Tim is very pleasant and profesional. We walked me through the whole process informing me of what all would take place before (sterilization process), during (piercing process and what to expect) and after including aftercare. This has not been the norm in the over 25 years of visiting tattoo and piercing establishments. I've since returned for an additional piercing and am thinking about having a necklace dermal done as well. Oh, and his jewelry selection is fabulous!

Rachel Sweetland

I’ve been tattooed by nearly every artist at this shop and have gotten piercings from Tim for 2 years now and I can’t imagine going anywhere else. The vibes in this shop have always been so positive and welcoming for me and I would consider it a safe space for anyone wanting to get work done.

Ken

Super cool place and owner. I had my ear pierced there. Tim is awesome in that he explained exactly how the utensils and materials to be used in my piercing are brand new for each use and how he sterilizes them prior to using them. He was very professional. I’ll go back and refer my friends to go there.

Anna George

Tim was fantastic. He was quick with the piercing and talked to me during the entire process to distract me cause I was nervous. The place was clean, the equipment was sterilized, and customer service was great.

Ryan Dennis

My mom and I got tattooed by Jimmy! It was both of our first times getting tattooed, and we were getting something in each other’s handwriting. Jimmy was super patient and made sure we got exactly what we wanted! We’re both so happy with our tattoos, and I would definitely come here again.

Nikki M

I don’t even live close but decided to go there because of the wonderful reviews. Everyone was nice, warm, and welcoming and the place was clean and smelled lovely. I came in as a walk-in and was seen within 30 minutes. Jimmy is awesome. I’d highly recommend. My tattoo came out super crisp. The lines are perfect!

Ana Salcedo

I came in knowing that Virtue Tattoo was a great place for piercing. I’d done my research and have been following their Instagram for a while prior to coming in and getting a couple of helix and conch piercings. They have a great selection of jewelry, the place is clean, and everyone was super professional. Prior to getting pierced, I was walked through the sterilization process and the piercing experience itself was as painless as it could have gone. They teach after care and provide you with a cleaning solution. I only hold out on giving five stars because only the morning after I got the piercing, did I realize that one helix piercing was lower on one ear compared to the other (a little uneven). I’m not too bothered by it because I did give my “ok” after the piercer marked my ears (we both just failed to notice at the time). I suppose I can just get the one ear fixed or arrange my jewelry differently (one of those “no use in crying over spilled milk” situations). Overall my experience was still good. These guys are kind, welcoming and would still recommend to a friend.

J Green

I got my first tattoo on my heel/foot on Saturday and going to Virtue Tattoo was a fantastic choose to go to. The people at the shop are great people. Jimmy was so patient with me and truly kept me calm. He did a wonderful job and if I ever decide to get another tattoo, I will not only go back to Virtue Tattoo but will also go back to Jimmy.

Megan M

This place is AMAZING!!! my son has been wanting to get his ear pierced forever...we came here and omg best experience ever!! The guy was amazing, he talked to my son the whole time..helped him understand what he was doing, made him feel so calm, barely even a tear was shed! I mean hands down best place ever!!! I recommend virtue tattoo to anybody wanting any work done!!! Thank you guys, you are so wonderful!!

Millie Huffman

After lots of research about getting a piercing (not my ear) and what all is involved and reading stories of the good, the bad, and the ugly of what could happen, I made the decision to finally get it done. We read lots of reviews from all the 4/5 star shops around the greater houston area and ended up going with Virtue obviously. Everything went as well as it possibly could have and even in 🤡🌍 times we live in it was a welcoming environment. Everything was SUPER CLEAN/OCD level clean and everyone was very friendly which is nice when you are nervous. I dealt with Tim and the dude knows what he's doing from every point of the process, helping pick jewelry, put me at ease, explained everything perfectly, and did an amazing job. 3 day after and there is basically no pain which is really great considering most reviews I've read say it takes about a week for the discomfort to stop. We didn't have to drive far but I would drive across town for this place and highly recommend Tim.

Skylar Shaw

i got my cartilage pierced here and it was the best experience i’ve had with my piercings. they sanitize all of the needles and jewelry right in front of you so there’s no doubt that it’s clean and new! Tim was extremely polite and always made sure to tell me what was going on and check up to make sure I was doing okay. Virtue is definitely the place to go for your next piercing or tattoo!

Sophia Tran

Tim did an amazing job on my peircings. I came in for both my lobes and an industrial. He took the time to show us his sterilization process, which was great. He also made sure to let us know everything he was doing. Would definitely recommend to see him for any type of piercing.

j

I was looking for a new tattoo shop and came across this local gem. The atmosphere is so laid back and everyone is so welcoming. I got my nose pierced by one of the guys from the counter and it couldnt have went any smoother. He was very knowledgable and made sure i was comfortable. I also walked in for a small tattoo done by Jimmy; 10/10 recommend. He reassured me in his work and was very professional, yet personable. I’ll definitely be back!

Emily Garza

Just got my double lobes done with Tim! He’s incredible and explained everything to me and everything was extremely clean/sanitary! Tim made it a very easy process, highly recommend this place!!

Stephanie Flores

Ericka was amazing. Super nice and super great artwork

Anne Boeding

These guys are great! Super clean and organised studio. Lots of great art from the artists on staff. It was my first tattoo; I was a little nervous. They walked me through every step and were very thorough and precise. I tend to get woozy with needles, but Dwight did everything to make me feel comfortable. My tattoo looks absolutely perfect, and the price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend this place, and I will be back here for my next one! #extremelyhappy

Núria Enríquez

Tim was the most amazing, caring and nice piercer ever. He help to fix one of my piercings, he gave me advice where was the best place to placed it and helped me to choose a couple of new ones. It was a really good experience and can only recommend Virtue Tattoo and Tim.

Amber Brown

Went in as a walk in for a tattoo. Definitely would recommend the shop if you want an awesome tattoo and willing to pay for top notch quality at a fair price. Staff is friendly and without a doubt makes you feel like family. Jimmy did an awesome job on my tat. I will definitely be back.

Ohhstargazer

I randomly came across Virtue Tattoo being as I'm from out of town and it ended up being one of the best shops I've ever been to. Jimmy was incredibly helpful and did his best to meet what I wanted. I got a small tattoo on my shin and it was overall one of the best experiences I had. Everyone at the shop was really cool and I'll def be going back. 10/10 recommend.

Erika Dommond

Highly recommend! Tim did my nipple piercings. He's been in the business for a long time and it shows, he knows his stuff. He made me feel comfortable, sterile practices, quick and easy.

Dean Wilcox (SpleenDean)

I've been here four times now (and another appointment tomorrow afternoon) and I have had nothing but excellent service from Jimmy! Great artist, very helpful, and very patient. The entire staff is very friendly and I highly recommend these guys for any tattoo/piercing needs! Definitely won over my business from here on out! See ya tomorrow! :)

Enzo Rivas

I got a tat from Ericka and I’m so happy with what I got. They were super professional and checked in with me often. I’m definitely coming back for more work with them! The shop was also very clean which was impressive. Totally recommend.

vera beard

I got pierced at Virtue by Tim. He was thoughtful, honest about what to expect with my nipple piercing and utterly professional and a pleasure to have him working on my body. I will be back for more, and would entirely recommend his work to anyone wanting a piercing, first timer or experienced. The shop itself is clean, well lit and inviting. A+ experience, loved it.

Veronica Andino

I have been coming to Virtue Tattoo since I was a teenager. The piercing technique is immaculate and the jewelry is high quality. Everyone is very professional and the environment is calming. My favorite part of coming here is knowing how clean all of the tools are. The autoclave makes the client feel secure.

Erin Mills

Jimmy was awesome to work with. He was very friendly and professional. I showed him pictures of what I was interested in and he came up with an amazing design that exceeded my expectations. It was definitely a wonderful tattoo experience!

Alicia Cooper

everyone is super personable, Nate was my artist. Came in sat had a consultation, today he brought my vision to life. He totally brought my vision to life. the idea comes from the customer, but to make it what you want you have to be prepared for the artist's input, they are the professionals, BUT IT IS ALL FOR YOUR FINAL OUTCOME. Nate was nothing short of amazing, artistic, considerate, and professional. I was recommended by my sister and couldn't be happier. Not my first tat, and def won't be my last!

Glenn Davis

We came in with a seven year old wanting her ears pierced for the first time and it was a wonderful experience! We called ahead and Mason said he’d be happy to do so as long as he could get verbal consent from the child after explaining how everything would happen. They had organic vitamin c lollipops for kiddo beforehand, explained everything to her (and us), took the time to make us all feel really safe and cared for. She loves her earrings and I’m so glad we went the certified piercer route instead of Claire’s! Thanks Mason.

Samantha Brazzale

I heard about Virtue Tattoo through people I know, and have seen some of the work done on social media so I decided to come here for a tattoo I had been wanting for over a year. I’m very pleased that I chose to come here; Jimmy was the person who did my tattoo, and he did and amazing job. I showed him a picture of what I wanted, and he perfected the lines before making the stencil. This is a very clean place with a very welcoming staff, I would definitely go back to Jimmy and recommend him and the shop to my friends.

Sandee Herradon

Awesome place and artists. Jimmy is very talented and has very clean lines. Made my knee tattoo experience go by steadily and both artists kept the mood upbeat. Can’t wait to go back to finish the shading and get more work done by him :)

Peter Matthews

Absolutely in love with my tattoo. Jimmy was amazing and super professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for their tattoo or anyone who is looking to get another badass piece. Seriously job well done Jimmy. Can’t wait to come in and start on my next tattoo. Thanks for everything!

Laura Crossley

Great studio, friendly staff, good atmosphere. I called about an hour before closing time to see if I could go in and get a piercing; they happily obliged. After explaining the process in detail, Tim let me watch as he sanitized everything. He pierced my nose and answered any questions I had about the healing process. I would definitely recommend this studio to a friend, they're great!

Gracie antunez

Tim is amazing at what he does! I really liked how he went the extra mile to ease my 2 year old baby girl. The whole time he was exceptional with her. He explained everything step by step to her and us. I highly recommend him for any nervous mom and kid like myself and my baby. The place was super clean, organized, and private.

Kaitlyn Nguyen

The person who did my tattootoday was named Jimmy, and I genuinely recommend him. Today I just turned 18 so this was my very first tattoo, and I was so nervous, but Jimmy was kind and did an outstanding job! There was also Dwight, although he did not do my tattoo, he was also kind and did an amazing job with this dude he was working with! I can’t wait to go back for my new tattoo!

Shenita Johnson

TIM by far is awesome and like no other when it comes to piercing!! TIM has 21 yrs experience and is very knowledgeable and makes you feel so comfortable! Virtue Tattoo is a very reputable, clean, well established, professional business! This is no ordinary "Tattoo Parlor!" It has quality jewelry, with authentic gem stones and microbial soap for piercing cleansing! This business is simply top notch and my 1st experience has left a lasting impression!

Mudasser Zaheer (MAZ)

One of the best tattoo and piercing parlor in Houston. They are extremely professional and do not compromise on safety. Don't come here if you're looking to skirt the rules. Minors require birth certificates, school Id and parents Id. Very satisfied with out experience with ear and nose piercing. Hope you enjoyed this review and follow me for more honest and unbiased reviews.

Kathleen McGoldrick

Came to Virtue Tattoo per the recommendation of a friend for an ear piercing. Tim was very helpful with the placement and jewelry design. He walked us through everything and answered any questions we had. I ended up getting my flat pierced and nose stud replaced, both look great! Will definitely be coming back.

Joseph Christie

Extremely satisfied with the timeliness, care and detail of the ink work I received. Neil worked with me on a Saturday with no appointment, and offered me an exceptional price to begin the outline of my half sleeve. The shop is clean, and all of the staff were friendly, professional, and maintain a high level of integrity. I even witnessed a staff member take the time to explain to a patron that the piercing work she was requesting would not be in the best interests of her health and safety, despite how adamant she was about getting it done. A shop that will place its honesty above money is a shop that will always get my vote.

Elizabeth Johnson

I was recommended to come here after a nostril piercing gone bad from another shop. Tim couldn’t have been nicer or understanding. He explained what happened and was careful taking out my jewelry despite the area being inflamed. If I choose to get it re-pierced I will be coming to Tim!

Autumn Collier

It was my first tattoo and the staff was very nice here. Ericka was the best! Very calm and patient! She made me feel relaxed because I was nervous lol! Thanks a lot!

Christie Swift

I went to get a cover up tattoo here. I love the service Dwight was really professional and answered all my questions. I really like the fact that isn't wasn't crowded and it was really clean. Everyone was nice. I also love my new tattoo. Makes want to get more!!!!

Brooke Baier

I met jimmy thru a previous shop that he worked at and he has never failed me! He’s done 3 of my tattoos and 1 on my husband. He does an awesome job and make sure you love your tattoo before you leave the shop! I recommend him to anybody who is looking for a new tattoo.

Michaela

This is the only place I will go to for a piercing from now on. If you live in the Houston area this place is worth the drive! The piercer was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It really helped melt away the pre-piercing jitters. The jewelry is high quality and through out the process he explains everything he is doing as it is happening. He asks all the right questions to get you exactly what you need and has your best interest in mind. Loved coming here and will without a doubt be going back!

Rochelle Jonson

I've taken my daughter here 3 times, twice for piercings, and once to get her nose ring swapped out. Nothing but courteous and professional. The place is clean, Tim goes over everything every step of the way. Nothing to complain about!

Serrina Wyngarden

I went to Virtue Tattoo to get a Chameleon on my back that I have been wanting for a long time. I had an idea of what I was looking for but was not exactly sure of the details. Nate who is one of the talented artists that work there looked at my reference picture, listened to me, took the ideas I had, and created the most amazing tattoo. He was friendly, polite, and professional in everyway. (Plus on a side note everything smelled like disinfectant which is EXACTLY what I want when I go into a tattoo shop.) I would highly recommend stopping in to see Nate if you are in the market for a tattoo. I know I will be back. In fact I booked another appointment before I left. Thanks again Nate for the amazing tattoo.

Mariyeh Amirian

I just got my tattoo with jimmy and I LOVE IT ! This is my second tattoo with him and like always he’s work is amazing! Definitely recommend him. He’s really sweet and takes his time listening to what you really want. And also this shop is VERY clean and the staff are super nice and professional !

Mia Duenas

I got my first tattoo at this place, and i must say, this is an amazing place if you’re someone like me that had anxiety beforehand. They are professional, and put your mind at ease. I love this place and i’ve already gotten 2 tattoos from here!!! 10/10 ALSO I RECOMMEND JIMMY!!!! I love him he is AWESOME

Kari Cannon

It was my first visit to Virtue Tattoo. Jimmy did a great piece on my arm. It was very small & simple but that did not lessen his interest in doing the tattoo. He was still very eager to help me out even though it probably was a very amateur tattoo for him.

Tiffany Kowalski

UPDATE: A week after my first visit I went back to get the tattoo I designed. Jimmy had taken my tattoo design and redid it in his style. Even though it was different from my drawing I definitely liked it and decided to go ahead and get it. It took 4-4.5 hours to do.The tattoo is beautiful! I love wearing tank tops to show it off. I went in as a walk-in to get a coverup done. Jimmy was very helpful and took time to talk to me about the pros and cons of getting the tattoo I walked in wanting. I ended up getting something simple for my coverup and set an appointment to get the design I came in with.

Crystal Herron

Great piercing experience here! Tim is excellent! Made the whole process as pain free as possible. He is very knowledgeable with all the questions I had beforehand and continues to be helpful as my piercing heals.

Rachel McGee

I've had two piercings done here and every time it's been a great experience. The piercer is amazing and has 20+ years of piercing under his belt. Definitely where to go for piercings, worth every penny.

Ashley Thompson

This is the only piercing parlor in Houston that I trust. I’ve been a customer to Virtue Tattoo for 7 years and they are amazing. The jewelry options are endless. Very clean tattoo shop and A1 customer service. Tim is awesome!! Hands down the best shop in Houston!

Kathleen Flores

I must thank Ericka so much for your work! You made my first tattoo experience a great one, and I am so very thankful for the amazing tattoo. It really is everything i wanted and more <3 you truly are awesome!

Gia Quilap

I called ahead of time to see if I needed to make an appointment for a simple cartilage piercing. They told me I could just walk in. I went and it was your standard procedure of ID and paperwork. But where it really makes this a 5-star review is that Tim went above and beyond and explained everything thoroughly, showed me the sanitizing matching and he even let me choose the jewelry from the showcase even when it was his last one! Thanks... Currently healing and it looks great! Will be back in the future!

Cassandra Cooper

Stop by this establishment as a walk-in wanting to switch out my nose ring today. The owner’s hospitality was outstanding!! He was very accommodating and patient with my indecisiveness. Very clean and organized and that means a lot considering this COVID environment we’re in. Tim I thank you and I will see you soon for my ear piercing and will be referring all my friends and family members.

Arwen Costello

Ellen was awesome and took great care of me! It was my first tattooing experience and it went wonderfully :) very satisfied

Ron Maddox

This is a great place to get a tattoo or piercing, the staff is very courteous, and they explain everything to you when you come in for a piercing, I personally don't have one but I know a lot of people that do and this is a great place for that.Now Jimmy the young man that did my tattoo, did an awesome job and I will return the next time I decide to get another tattoo. Thanks guys! May God, continue to bless your business.

George LaFleur

Jimmy, at Virtue Tattoo in Meadows Place, TX, was GREAT! He just happened to be available today (3/31/19), for our walk-in to consult with about the matching tattoo design we both wanted to get to celebrate our upcoming wedding. He was patient, knowledgeable, helpful, and put us as ease in making an informed decision on what we wanted to do. His professionalism belied his youthful age. If either, or both of us, decide to get another tattoo, he will be the first one we want to go to.

Marcos Guardado

Got my first tattoo here to start off my 2021. I told Jimmy what I had in mind and in a few minutes he drew and showed me exactly what I wanted! Good conversation with him while I was getting tatted. Would recommend to anyone to come here! Great place!

Teiwoh Kandeh

I had a remarkable experience at Virtue Tattoo. I got my tragus pierced by Tim and he was very knowledgeable and professional and made me feel at ease. They have beautiful jewelry options and all of the utensils used were sterilized in front of me. The piercing was quick and almost painless and I would highly recommend them for all piercing needs.

stephanie morin

I went to Virtue as a walk-in and right away Jimmy helped me out. I told him what I was looking for and he was soooo nice and omg my tattoo is simple and sharp I will be going back for more. I went back the next day for my daughter so she can get a industrial piercing and Tim was the best he made her feel sooo comfortable and he walked us through everything he was gonna do and my daughter loves her new piercing we will be going back. If you want great customer service you will love to check this place out smells clean looks awesome very friendly And the place has a warm feeling I loved it.

Leah Dhaduk

The only place I trust! You will not be disappointed! Best customer service and quality jewelry in all of Houston! It’s definitely worth the prices! Extremely professional.

Bryce Baas

Got some ink on my leg done by Dwight Bomer, dude was straight up and very professional. Felt really comfortable letting this guy permanently decorate my leg, and he definitely know's what he's doing. Dwight was very patient and skilled at getting everything lined up and I couldn't be happier with the work he did. I also want to give a shout out to the guy manning the front desk/piercing. Spoke to him over the phone before I came in and his attitude immediately sold me on Virtue Tattoo. Overall epic shop experience, 10/10, will go again.

Tiffany Baker

Just went last night to get my nipples pierced and I was extremely nervous about it. I spoke to Tim earlier in the day about it and he was SUPER nice and informative about everything. When I finally made it around to coming in, he made sure to explain everything to me and even explained how they sterilize everything (and showed it to me). He was very professional about everything, and treated me very well (as opposed to other tat shops where you walk in and they have that look of disinterest and they just want to get you out of there). There was NO wait (and it was Friday!). Overall, I would say that was the best experience I have had as far as piercings go, and i've had several done over the years. He was very quick about everything and there was hardly ANY pain (just a small pinch). I will definitely be going back to Tim for any other piercing needs and referring all my friends! <3

Phillip Ward

Ericka did matching tats for me and my wife’s anniversary. She took our ideas and put her own artistic spin on it. Great shop!

Christa Smith

My first time at Virtue was an absolute dream. I was in and out super fast, and Tim was so kind from the moment I stepped in to the moment I left. I got my lobes re-pierced and truly appreciated his work and professionalism. Highly recommend this shop, and will be back!

Harley Graham

Came in for a conch piercing and it was a wonderful experience - possibly the best I've had in the years I've been getting pierced. Mason is not only professional and skilled, but personable as well. Really makes the process easy, plus my piercing looks great!

Laura “Lkoppy2012” Koppenheffer

Dwight was my tattoo artist and he was excellent. Very pleasant and precise. He helped me with the design for my tattoo and did an excellent job. I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone who is interested in a tattoo.

Million Airess

This was my 3rd attempt to pierce my nose. Tim was funny. I had read reviews about barely any pain but didn’t believe it because the last time I could barely sleep. It’s true though, there was barely any pain and it was fast! Almost a month later my nose is healing well. I highly recommend this place!!

Elizabeth Batton

This is my second piercing by Tim! He is very professional. Very clean. He does an amazing job!

Jnel Jackson

Being in Houston all day waiting on another tattoo parlor. After not being treated as we mattered. I gave virtue a call and they let me know they were accepting walk ins. When my sister and I made it there, we were greeted by Tim. He is like so professional and kind. He listened to what we wanted, and even apologized to us for the shop that we went to before them. Before I went I already had in mind what i wanted. While we wait Tim was very entertaining. Jay was amazing, he didn't try to talk me out of anything, he did my Azalea tattoo just how I drew it myself and even added some improvements. Being that i got the tattoo on my foot, he made me extra comfortable, and though everyone isn't the same with pain, but on a scale of 1-10 on certain parts of my foot it was maybe a 6 or 7 with just the outline. Shading wasn't bad at all. He is amazing. I even got an additional tattoo on my shoulder area, by Jay also. I would recommend this place to anyone. Jim did my sister's Lotus and anchor tattoo on her upper back, and she said he made her feel comfortable. They didn't rush through it, and was very courteous. We thank you Tim, Jay, and Jimmy for your work and kindness. Will always be our Tattoo Parlor of Choice. Thank you again, Highly recommend!!!

Jika Crumpton

Got my first tattoo done by Nate today. The environment is extremely professional and the staff is friendly. The design came out great and the price was affordable. 100% recommend.

Emily Garza

The piercer, Tim Gooding, did a phenomenal job. He made me extremely comfortable as I went in to get a botched navel piercing from another Sugar Land shop redone. Tim really cares about keeping a good, high quality jewelry collection that people can trust, even if they have sensitive skin! Tim is meticulous, funny, and makes sure that all of his guests leave satisfied! He pierces with confidence, precision, and expertise that not everyone has. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!! Thank you so much for saving my navel piercing Tim! You da bomb.

Andrea Henley

Very nice people. Really cared about us and what we wanted. Would recommend.

Taylor Rambo

Literally went today, walked in, and asked for a tattoo. All three guys who were there were super nice. Nate who was my tattoo artist also made sure he gave me exactly what I wanted, was thorough and had great customer service. It’s the only tattoo shop out of the three in the area that I looked into that didn’t turn me away. Highly recommend this place!

Blessing Kachikwu

Prices are crazyyyyyyy. It’s like they go up every single time I go there. I first got my nose repierced a year ago for $50 when my original piercing was $40. Then my sister got hers pierced for $60 a few weeks ago. I think it’s just the jewelry itself that’s expensive. Other than that, they are very professional and great at what they do. I’d recommend only if you can afford it lol.

Random Person

I had gotten a surface bar piercing on my face several months back from a different shop that had migrated and was rejecting and Tim was able to remove it painlessly. I had called several closer shops to get a price estimate but got short rude answers as though they were annoyed I was calling. Virtue Tattoo is worth the extra drive for their great customer service and amazing work!

Irzon Joya

Everything was done very professionally and very quickly I had Paul as my piercer and he was really cool and really quick me and my brother were in and out would definitely recommend and would definitely come back.

windshapes

amazing first tattoo experience. Ellen did an amazing job putting my ideas on paper, and on my skin! would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a reputable place

Julian Moreno

I walked in and had a tattoo done within 30 minutes! Ellen is a great artist and did really well. Everyone was very professional! Definitely will come back.

Kassandra Landa

I have gotten all my tattoos here at virtue! Today tattoo was so fun. I was a walk in. Jimmy took care of me. He did a great job on my tattoo. I was in and out in about 2 hours. Cant wait to go back.

Jimmiel B

My tattto artist Cabos was very professional and precise. He knew what I wanted and executed it with no hesitation. Overall the staff were very professional and nice. Very clean as well.. I would recommend to go back again.. but if you do pick Cabos he’s the man!!

ximena arevalo

Super clean & super friendly! Came in as a walk in and they had a spot open for me! Jimmy was my tattoo guy and he was so patient and super chill! Def coming back for bigger pieces! I recommend!!

John Allen

Ericka is a great artist. So nice and a great experience!

Miz MO

Last Sat walked in with a simple line drawing my son drew as a joke a few years ago. Jimmy happily scanned and printed it out so I could easily decide on sizing. He explained and marked out the best placement on my forearm so it would be centered and perfect! Jimmy draws great, steady lines so it looks exactly as my son drew it LoL and he has a professional and positive demeanor in addition to knowledge about what makes a good tattoo. My son referred me to Jimmy because he has done many tattoos on him including designing one specifically for him. I'm going back soon for a much larger traditional type tattoo by Jimmy which will include color and shading besides heavier lines :-)

LaTonya Martin

Tim did my piercing he was amazing! He was very well knowledgeable of his work and walked me step by step. The place was clean and very professional! Loved it!

Vanessa Konopacki

It’s been two week since I got my piercing. I was nervous as I was getting a conch piercing and had questions. The piercer was out to lunch when I went in, but the staff that was there and personable as well as kind. So we returned in a hour and there were others waiting as well. We never felt neglected or brushed aside. The staff went out of their way to make everyone feel welcomed and cared for. Everyone was given personal time for questions, explainations, showing sterilization process, I cannot express how I appreciated it. Even though it was a little busy, I did not feel brushed or or ignored. I was also thankful that I was not misled anywhere. Meaning some will say it won’t hurt. My piercer was upfront, it’s gunna hurt, but only for a moment. Which was very true. Was about thirty seconds where I wondered about my choice, then I was fine. It’s healing well and I am extremely pleased and hope to return after this fully heals to get another one done. Thank you for to everyone at Virtue for making this a non scary non stressful experience.

Elle

This is the place for piercings!!! Tim was awesome!!! From the moment I walked in he was very welcoming. He was thorough explaining the process including the sterile process. During the piercing, he cued when to take a breath and within seconds it was over. I got a tragus and helix piercing and love it!!!

Vicky Piqueras

Drove 30 mins for this gem. I was a bit humbled by the prices however, you're paying for quality. Beautiful jewelry and the service is absolutely refreshing. I was helped extremely fast, I ended up giving the piercer a hard time (too indecisive) when I was picking my jewelry and he was extremely patient and helpful. Will definitely come back once I've saved up.

Zeba Momin

Got my 2 daiths here. It was so painless and I loved it!!

Kylie M

If you want to get something pierced, this is the place to go. They sterilize everything in front of you to ensure you’re getting the best service. The entire process was simple and executed nicely. Didn’t have a single problem and the piercing itself was PAINLESS! Amazing! Ask for Tim :)

Dria Phoenix

Tim did my nose piercing back in 2019 I took my mom today in 2021 lol and he did her’s always a good experience & great customer service ! Have to check them out if you’re looking for quality service 😁 …

Eliana Parker

The guy who pierced my septum was very nice. I told him I had done it previously and took it out after a few years. He was patient and found that it wasn't closed. Place was super clean and love that they show you how they sterilize.

Jose

Virtue tattoo put in work, ericka did me right I’ll be back

Anna Berry

I got my conch pierced here and it was such a great experience! I walked in not knowing what kind of piercing would look best and Tim did an amazing job with his suggestions and jewelry options! Everything was extremely sterile and GREAT costumer service :))

Sandy Lessig

Tim did a great job with piercings! He was not only a real professional but took care to ensure the procedure was as painless as possible. I highly recommend him!

Lisa Moreno

Place was very clean and everyone was very friendly. I got my ears pierced and love them! I would definitely recommend for anyone who’s looking for someone to do piercings. Thank you Tim 😁 …

Railea White

Ellen was absolutely amazing, she did a great job and calmed my nerves down by talking to me. I let her do what she wanted with the tattoo and she did great. I will definitely be coming again.

Shadia Abou

Nate did an absolute amazing job with my tattoo and made sure I was okay through the whole process and was gentle. All of the staff was very friendly as well! Highly recommend!

Makaylah Grimes

My artist was Ellen and she was super nice and professional and worked quick I will definitely be going back in the future for sure such a lovely place.

Gabrielle Renwall

Hit up Tim for all your piercing needs! He’s super professional he made the whole process easy. Fast and efficient virtue is my go to place you won’t catch me anywhere else!

Chris Lor

got some piercings here for the first time. tim was doing the piercings for me and showed me the process he was taking to make sure everything was sterile. was very friendly and answered any questions i had. explained and gave me a sheet to make sure i followed steps for the aftercare after getting a piercing. after a day, i had a concern about a potential alignment issue with a piercing so i called him up and he told me to come by so that he could take a look and make any adjustments, if needed. came by the next day so that he could take a look and address my concerns. he didn't make one excuse at all. he takes pride in his work and made sure i was okay with everything before i stepped out the store. he carefully re-measured to make sure he didn't make a mistake but the alignments were pretty much even. it was actually because the shape of my ears aren't exactly the same so it appears to look different. even so, he didn't sound agitated or annoyed. in fact, he said if i'm still not satisfied within two or three months for any reason (even after knowing the alignments are the same) i could come back and make some adjustments if i absolutely wanted to.

HOWMADISJAY 28

My experience was great. They explain everything to me. Price were reasonable. Better than any other place I’ve been. My artist Jimmy, awesome guy. Took his time and my tattooo came out better than expected. I’ve been getting compliment all day. It hasn’t even been 24 hours. Best tattoo shop ever.

Rachel Lewis

I got my first tattoo done here by Dwight and it was a great experience! Dwight not only did a great job but he was super nice, patient, and funny. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Tsian Quash

Everyone had great hospitality. My artist, Jimmy, created a beautiful tattoo for me with colors that were vibrant and looked amazing. Really appreciated my service ! I highly suggest getting your tattoo here at Virtue Tattoo!

aurelia wright

I came in on a whim, and got excellent service! Everyone was very professional and kind. I was tattooed by Ericka and they did amazing. Tattoo came out better than I could have asked for.

Hannah Seay

I got a finger tattoo done by Jimmy and he was incredible! He was so sweet and thorough and made the whole experience incredibly comfortable, plus it was all done in a matter of minutes. Virtue is the best place to get any tattoo and piercing!

Durga Sury

Don't understand what's with the negative reviews. I went in on a Sunday, and thankfully I didn't have to wait long. I had Neil do my tattoo ( it is my first tattoo). They are super friendly and professional, give you a quote once they see the design. The only thing they stress is seeing your ID, however old you are - which absolutely makes sense.

t a Hursh

Always a great selection of piercing items, and a great experience with Tim. A legitimate business with some impressive rewards and licenses. Very clean shop. Sterile procedures have been followed each time. Great about privacy.

Bianca

This place is awesome! Jimmy did a great job on my tattoo! I was a walk in and was able to get it done the same day. Everyone was friendly there and very clean facility, quality was on point! Thank you guys!

Sunny Shores

Had a piercing done here. It is very sterile and clean.

Iantha Hawkins

Bought a nose stud Rachel and Tim was very helpful!!

David Callier

Great shop with a friendly and open atmosphere, and staffed with excellent talented artists. Tim and his staff go above and beyond to provide really excellent customer service Side note, they have some really neat prints by famous and talented artists up on the walls.

Ariel King

Just left Virtue and added my fiancé’s initials on my forearm. Dwight was the professional that gave me the perfect tattoo. Dwight is knowledgeable, efficient and is very talented. Thank you very kindly. You were awesome!

Adriana Jones

Got a tattoo by Ellen and WOW!… she was awesome. She very very professional and friendly. And she made sure I was happy with the work she did. I can’t wait to go back for more ink!!

Josue Tapia

Jimmy did an awesome job. The artwork was extremely clean and he took his time to make sure everything came out looking perfect. Great guy and amazing artist. 10/10.

Tandra Breaux

Thanks to Jimmy @virtuetattoo for making me feel comfortable during my visit. He’s a good listener, very patient with me and also shared some good pointers with me, not to mention the shop is very neat and orderly! I strongly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a tattoo! Thanks again Jimmy!

Kimberly Spooner

Wow!!!! I would recommend Virtue Tattoo to any and everyone out there!! The customer service was excellent from my initial consultantion to the tattoo process! Nate did my lion head tattoo and he was so professional the entire time!! Great prices, great artists, clean environment all equal a 5 star service rating!! I'll be going back for my next tattoo!!!

Carrie Huynh

Great and friendly service. Very clean and professional. We walked and we’re greated promptly. Tim was great at explaining the process of the piercing and the aftercare.

Juan Hernandez

For it being my first time getting a tattoo this place couldn’t have been any better. My tattoo artist had 28+ years of experience and was super nice and patient in helping me find what I wanted. I’m definitely going back in the future to get more ink from this amazing place!

Honey Bee

Everyone here is awesome and friendly and create a great environment to be in. Nate designed and did my tattoo. It was my first time here as I’m relatively new to Houston and discovered them through Instagram but I see myself coming here for any other tattoo and piercing needs from now on! 🔥 …

Kristi Lovelace

Jimmy was great! Awesome service, very professional and also had a great suggestion for the placement of my tattoo as it was my first time. Please ask for Jimmy, he is absolutely the best!!

Kimmy Bee

Tim was really sweet. He explained the process very well. I am super happy with how my piercing turned out!

Em Forman-Cummings

Ok, so I went to Virtue Tattoo in 2011 (yeah, just now reviewing!) I'm thinking it was Tim that helped me from the start, pierced my tongue & navel.. What an awesome job, both visits! The entire place is so clean & I was made to feel welcome & was informed about the entire procedure each time, didn't hurt a bit.. which really surprised me after I'd read some horror stories about tongue piercings.. I now live back in the UK, but as soon as I'm able to visit Houston again, I'm coming right back to you guys! ✌

Amanda Nicole

Ericka did an amazing job!! I got my first tattoo (exactly what I wanted) and she talked through the whole process. 100% recommend

Erika Garcia

Me and kimberly came to verify Tatto and The customer service was A1 and 10/10 would recommend coming here. Definitely will come back for more. Jimmy was very helpful and this is actually our second time coming and we called ahead for jimmy.

Kaitlyn Davis

Jimmy was my artist and the experience was overall 10/10! He made me feel very welcome and he talked during our session which made me feel more comfortable!

Kay Lowry

This place is remarkable! I drove from Katy to Stafford- and would highly recommend. Super clean, and Tim is a professional in every sense of the word. You will not regret choosing this shop.

Maheen Virani

Tim was so nice and funny. He kept my friend (who was nervous) calm by making jokes. Super clean place. Been here 5 times already for different piercings and would come again!

Ashley Thomas

Went there today for a nose piercing ,my experience was awesome. Tim explained everything he was doing and he made me feel comfortable. I am so happy with the results. Thanks Tim!!!

meagan Henrichsen

Absolutely amazing work. I debated between two places and the decision to do business with Nate at Virtue was the best choice ever. I would recommend his work to anyone who wants beautiful work done and I will be returning!! Thank you so much Nate!

Michael Traynor

Realty nice took us in and we were in and out and all around great

Alyssa Beltran

I've been to Virtue Tattoo probably twice now. Nate was doing mine. I tried to venture out to another tattoo parlor out of convenience because its pretty far from where I love, but it flopped. Never letting another shop do mine again 🤷🏻‍♀️. I'm going to go get it redone by Virture Tattoo here in a bit. …

Leondria Sennett

Today is my birthday and I was so scared to get my nose pierced, but Tim made the experience quick, virtually painless, and extremely comfortable! 10/10 will definitely be going back!

Liftliketiff

Love this place! They’re so professional, clean, and friendly. They sanitize everything in front of you beforehand. If you want quality, THIS is the place. Love my piercings so much!! Thank you Tim!

M U

Tim was super nice and really quick! He did my piercings and two of my friends’. It was pretty much painless and I would definitely come again.

Maddie M

the guy who did my piercing was super nice and professional. It was very clean, and super quick. It barely even hurt. 10/10 recommend!!

Ashley Sanchez

I went into Virtue Tattoos when I was in Houston visiting family. I talked to Nate and he was very kind and willing to work with me. I could tell right away he's a perfectionist! I will see Nathan every time I come to Houston and recommend all my family and friends!

Lena Davis

I got my first piercing today and Tim was great! It was virtually painless! He calmed my fears and showed me the process of how they sterilize the equipment.

Cam Wal

I just walked in and the guy was very honest about my wait time which I appreciated. Dwight did a great job on my tattoo and was really nice. The shop is clean and the prices are reasonable. Will definitely come back for my next tattoo.

Queen T

My daughter and I just had our tattoos done by Matt. This place is AWESOME. My daughter designed a matching tattoo for us. Matt drew it out, showed it to us and it was PERFECT. It was my daughter's first tattoo, my second (it's been a few years) and everyone made us feel super comfortable. Thanks again, Matt!

Kevin Godoy (DMND)

Maaaannn best experience I’ve had getting a tattoo! Honestly like a barbershop experience! Jimmy was chill, light handed, and relatable as hell! Honestly coming back for more! The tattoo come out perfect!

Paige Worfe

Jimmy was awesome! I had him copy my grandfather’s handwriting and it turned out amazing! Everyone was incredible nice and the whole place was very clean! Highly recommend!

Jullian Lopez

Very good job, even though I didn’t ask for anything over the top, I couldn’t have asked for better. Ellen really made me feel comfortable and did an amazing job as it was my first time.

Tina Rodionov

amazing place with great staff. I just got a leg tattoo by Jimmy and he also fixed one of my tattoos from a different shop. He did an awesome job, I've also gotten piercings from Tim and a mountian tattoo from Dwight in the past.

Heather Pasat

Been taking the family here for piercings for 12 years. Great selection of jewelry and staff is excellent.

Nina Farray

I searched for a piercer to re-pierce my nose after a bad experience in early December 2012 with a different piercer at a different tat/piercing location. I found Virtue and their piercer, Tim, through searching Google reviews. I saw a few positive reviews on Tim, but they were from 2011 and 2010, so I called the shop to see if he was still there. He was! I was asked if I'd like to talk to Tim and he was put on the phone. I explained to him what was all wrong with my last experience (kinda non-personal, not thorough customer service, not taking my opinion into account - finally resulting in a nose piercing in an undesirable place according to me, the nose owner! My fault for going with it...I know.) Tim was very friendly on the phone and answered all of my upfront questions. He explained to me that his job was to make me happy with his service and create repeat customers and referrals. Great! Much different than the ego I experienced at the other place. When my sister and I got there (she was getting a re-piercing from years ago), Tim greeted us and began professionally explaining his process and walking us through the jewelry selection. The other piercer did not at all review the jewelry with me. He simply asked me what price I was looking for and left it at that... Tim was able to describe the difference in the metals, the settings, and preferences associated with each... Also, he pierces the nostril with a 20 gauge, which is smaller than the 18 gauge the last guy did - even better! Sister and I felt ZERO EGO from Tim. He was the perfect blend of professionalism, friendliness, and artist. He walked us through his sterilization and piercing process. I got marked up and my input was totally accepted, not overruled by the "professional". We had 3 marks on my nose before deciding the hole should be between two of them, but definitely closer to one of them (see, Tim's that patient and good). I was offered the hand mirror AND was able to view the mark in a wall mirror which was not offered or available at the other place). I was laid down on the bed to pierce (other place I was only asked to sit), which I mention only because Tim also asked me how I felt afterward before sitting up, which I was not asked at the other place. One other point I'd like to make is that Tim had a certain finesse to his skill. I was not afraid of the pain, nor was I looking for a pain free experience (I have had 2 natural childbirths), but the other guy definitely left me feeling a bit jostled or manhandled...just saying! And after all this, the price was better overall! I paid the same price for a better piece of jewelry and a way more terrific experience! So, if you want a real professional, go see Tim at Virtue!

Shayla Huff

I got two tattoos by cabos on Monday and went back Tuesday to get a septum piercing done by Tim and my experience was wonderful I Will definitely be going back in the future!

Cory Carter

Jay did an excellent job on my tattoo! Because this was my first one I was very hesitant and nervous. He made the experience really comfortable and cool and I am definitely coming back to him for my next one. Highly recommended!

Steph Gonzalez

Tim and the staff are all so great. Got 2 nose piercings there and could not be happier. Everything is clean, everyone is courteous, will definitely return!

Tionyce Johnson

Dwight did my tattoo and he did an amazing job!!!! He was upfront about pricing, he did the design exactly the way I wanted and offered suggestions about placement and he was super nice! Come check him out! I’ll be getting all of my tattoos here 😁😁 …

Jake Hernandez

I was recommended to go to Virtue from a family friend and I was extremely impressed. This was my very first tattoo and Jimmy did an amazing job. I would highly recommend this shop, it is extremely clean and the people are really nice.
