About Ghostrider's Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio
Ghostrider's Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio has built a strong name for itself in Lubbock, and it's easy to see why once you've spent any time around the place. This is a family-owned shop with roots that reach across Texas, with locations in Lubbock, Midland, and San Antonio, and the crew here brings serious experience to the table. Their senior artist has been tattooing since 1979, and most of the others have at least a decade under their belt, so you're in seasoned hands no matter who you sit down with. Ask anyone who's been inked here and the first thing they'll bring up is the talent.
The shop is known for black and grey, realism, and illustrative work, and folks come away impressed by the line work, the shading, and the sheer attention to detail. Regulars name names too: Tanner has a reputation for taking his time and running with a loose idea until it turns into something special, Justin Reyes gets shout-outs for beautiful pieces and service start to finish, and Brittany has a way of making first-timers feel comfortable and squeezing people in on short notice. Cover-ups are part of the mix as well, and people who've had older work transformed here walk away happy. The word around Lubbock is that this is a clean, professional, and welcoming spot, the kind of studio where the conversation flows easily and the hours pass quickly while you're in the chair.
Walk-ins are welcome, which makes it an easy call when the mood strikes. On the value side, people feel they get a fair deal for the caliber of work. On the piercing side, Patty Goytia earns steady praise for quick, friendly, well-placed work, and plenty of people love their dermals. That said, we've heard the occasional grumble about a piercing appointment or two not going as smoothly, so if you're booking body piercing it's worth confirming details ahead of time.
For tattoo work, though, Ghostrider's remains one of the more respected names in town, and people keep coming back to their favorite artists.
