About Southern Style Ink
Southern Style Ink is a Houston tattoo shop that's earned a solid reputation with folks around town, and the artists are the reason. Ask anyone who's been inked here and the talk always comes back to the people holding the machine. Regulars ask for Rico, who's known for taking his time and making sure you're comfortable, and Courtney (some call him Courty) gets a lot of return visits for the same reason. Sam has a following too, with people saying their work draws questions everywhere they go.
Smoove is another name that comes up when people are happy with what they walked out with. The shop covers a good range of styles: black and grey, color, illustrative pieces, and lettering and script. They do custom design work, so if you come in with an idea, they'll build it out with you. There's body piercing on offer as well, and female artists on the roster if that matters to you.
The word around Houston is that the studio stays clean and the crew keeps things professional and welcoming. Value is a big draw here too, with plenty of people mentioning fair prices, and the shop keeps good late hours for anyone who works days. First-timers seem to leave in good spirits. We'll be honest: opinion isn't unanimous, and a few people have walked away less than thrilled with their experience.
The overall feeling among locals is a positive one, and most who sit down here leave planning their next piece.
