Ive been all over the country and world collecting tattoos and piercings since my wife and I were in Houston for a while I began my search. I was referred by the hotel and after checking the ratings I decided this was the place. From the moment I walked into the shop I was really impressed. My wife wanted to get nipples pierced, possible tattoo for both of us and I needed my jewelry changed in my ears. When I called earlier in the day I was informed no appointment was necessary. As well as the cost… Little did I know when I got there we were getting a hook and bait deal. Upon arriving waited talked to the piercer while he went to get something to eat for 30 minutes. We talked to him about what we wanted and filled out paperwork. Then to my surprise we were told to pay before we even got the service done. First time this has ever happened to us, not like we are going to run out the door. Well After waiting another 20 minutes to wait for the piercer to finish eating we finally go into the room to get my wife nipples pierced and my jewelry changed in my ear. We seen everything packaged like it should and he proceeded through the process of doing her pierced. Now let me be as blunt as possible I think we should have left as soon as Jesus closed the door. I don’t know any other way to say this but if you work in the public, handle people in a discreet way in body modifications you should at least have the decency to bath and wipe the food off your face before doing your job. The incredible smell coming off this guy was next to the smell of raw sewage. It turned out to be a long drawn out process just getting here nipples marked. Not fine and cool but the guy didnt even get them straight. Secondly he pierced one of her nipples so deep that the jewelry swallowed up both ends within two days. We tired calling for days and couldn’t get ahold of the piercer who did them and finally we decided to come in once we talked to Chris on the phone. Chris was busy when we came in and Charlie told us to come right into the room to figure out what was going on. I was then told they had to be surgically removed since they had gone so many days, even after he tired to soak them to push the balls back out. Now I had to show him my ear and how the jewelry we swapped out in my ear had fallen out since it wasn’t tighten correctly. I was also given some new jewelry only after having too wait to get it sterilized. Sadly when Jesus changed my earrings he just cold sterilized them right in front of me. Sorry I have been through numerous piercings and never had jewelry cold sterilized. I was informed that I needed to get a couple things to fight the infection I had gotten from the jewelry I just had put in a couple days ago. I have never left a negative comment on any review for anyone. What my wife and I went through has scarred her for life. She is now looking at going through plastic surgery after an appointment today to repair the damage that was done. I myself am pissed over the whole process. I will commend Chris and Charlie for helping us out on the phone and in person as busy as the shop was when we came in. Just really even more pissed that Jesus charged me to change out my piercings. When I called originally I was told as long as I bought the jewelry there there wasn’t any further charge. Even more pissed for the medical bills we occurred today from being allowing Jesus to pierce my wife. Please take note to whom ever reads this for further inquiries. Mark S.

After I moved to Houston, I researched shops for over a year as I carried around the image of the work that I wanted done as my "tramp stamp". I heard a lot of awesome things about the Electric Chair as my search narrowed. I checked out the artists there and really liked Chris work. When I called to schedule my appointment with Chris, he was awesome. He booked me to come in within a couple days, the pricing was extremely reasonable and my artwork looks amazing. He gave me great instructions for aftercare and it healed beautifully. That was in March and I have an appointment with Chris for another piece in about 3 hours. I have also had a recent piercing done by Kcir. He is great! I was rather frightened as this was my first piercing (besides ears). He made me feel very comfortable, answered all of my questions (whether I wanted to hear the answer or not) and the experience was painless. My husband had some Celtic knotwork done by Vic a couple weeks ago. He did a beautiful job on the shading and really gave the piece dimension. There are only 2 small areas where I noticed that the lines were a little shaky, and shaky may be over exaggerated. They just werent as crisp as the rest of the lines. Most people would never notice in the overall piece, but since I see it daily I tend to notice. In Vics defense, knotwork is not his specialty, but if you want a skull he is most def the man to see! Overall, I am extremely happy with the work and the service that I have received! As long as Chris is there, the Electric Chair has my tattoo business!!!

I went to this place to get nipple piecings, and i say this for those on here looing for a nipple piercing review. anyway i came here 2 times once to check the place out and the second time to get the piercing. my piercer was Charlie GREAT GUY, he answered my many questions over text before i came in and when i was there he was very nice, calm and i could tell he knows his stuff. he was very professional, and polite. when i first took off my shirt he made she to make only eye contact with my eyes from there on untill the piercing. GUYS MAKE SURE YOU EAT SOMETHING BEFORE YOU GO he told me this after the fact but thats fine. anyway i almost fainted from the rush and lack of food so he laid me down and gave me a sugar pill (your body uses up a lot of energy for what this is and keeps you from running away lol) he sat there with me and instructed my boyfriend to hold my feet up while he talked to me keeping me calm. over all he was a very nice guy! and id recomend him any time of the day, he does use a clamp and he steralises everything, the tools and the bed thingy that you sit on. he was very polite and made sure that i was comfortable thorugout the entire process. i paid 92$ for the piercing (82) and the two titanium barbells (20). also they only take cash luckily there is an atm on the inside that charges 2.50 for a withdrawl.THANKS CHARLIE!!

After finally convincing my Hubby (yay) to budget in a tattoo I had been DYING to get, I stopped into the shop on Saturday to see if anyone could squeeze me in. I had previously e-mailed Stephanie whom I now know is the owner/manager and she was very polite and responded to my many questions with poise and understanding which I really appreciated. But, she was not available on that day. The artist who greeted us, Carlos said he would do it and I agreed. He took the sketch I brought with me and made some adjustments that honestly blew my mind! He was very creative and worked with me to find the perfect end result before starting. He was very professional and courteous throughout the 2hrs of tattoo time, letting me take time to stretch and explaining the tattoo as he progressed through the stages from beginning to end. I am beyond pleased with my tattoo it came out beautifully! I will never go to any other artist! Carlos completely rocked! and to top it all off he has amazing taste in music which when your sitting still for 2 plus hours, makes a big difference.
