About Moonlight Piercings & Tattoos Studio
If you're looking for a tattoo and piercing shop in Houston where the crew genuinely works as a team, Moonlight Piercings & Tattoos Studio has earned itself a serious local following. Ask anyone who's been inked here and you'll hear the same thing: the artists are the real draw, whether you're after illustrative work, black and grey, or something in full color. Dakota is a name that comes up a lot for custom tattoo work. People love that he'll take a reference and make the design his own, adding his own twist rather than just copying what you bring in.
Herc (also known as Carlos) is another local favorite for detailed custom pieces and sleeve work. There's a "get what you get" machine for the more adventurous, and folks have had a great time with that too. What we hear again and again is that there are no egos here. One regular told us the whole crew huddled together to solve a problem with an old tattoo, and it turned out better than expected.

Nervous first-timers and families alike say she puts them at ease. The studio is known for being spotless, welcoming, and professional, and the prices are fair, with daily specials and events worth watching for.
All around, one of the best-regarded spots in town.
