Houston Shops

Looking for my sister who wants b/g roses. Found one recommendation on here (Scorpion) and from a cursory search Studio 8 looks all right. Anyone have any personal recommendations?

If she wants realistic then she should contact Nate Beavers at Nate Beavers : Tattoos : Page 1

If she wants true traditional then she should really travel to Austin, but Scorpion is about as close as it gets for traditional or as good as it gets for stylized for Houston.

Thanks dude! Note: she is not able to travel anywhere.

I'd go to Scorpion. It used to be owned by Richard Stell, and they have a nice lineup. Scorpion Studios Tattoo | Houston TX Custom Designs Tattoo Shop

I especially like Chris Ayala's black and gray stuff.

Nate Beavers imo is about the best it gets in town and he can nail pretty much any style especially roses. However hes hard to get in with sometimes due to popular demand. He doesnt work in a store front youd be best emailing him at natebeavers13@gmail.com . Scorpion is a great shop with a lot of history just been a while and havent seen who all still works there. If you are just wanting to walk in a shop theres Scorpion as well as Los Muertos, Red Dagger(which has a lot of killer artists), Artistic Impressions, Rose & Anchor, and Advent Tattoo just to name a few. Research the artists if you're looking for realism or traditional etc see whos best at it and go with them. If it were me Id wait it out and go to Nate though.

713 Tattoo is a good shop, I know it used to be Cory Rodgers shop (maybe still is, but some good stuff coming out of there) Lana Gooding tattoos there, but she is more traditional, but saw some pretty cool black and grey stuff on their facebook.

Chris at Scorpion does some great B/G...tell her to go check him out and he is a nice guy to boot.
