The Collective Gallery and Tattoo Studio

Did a walk in yesterday with Eric. AWESOME experience! I wanted a small piece on my ankle and he knocked it out of the park. The colors are vibrant and the black is nice and deep. Every line is clean! The shop was exceptionally well kept, sanitary, and comfortable. I will be going back soon for more extensive work...

Walked in here and didn't really know what I wanted. I thought I knew. I showed Eric what I wanted and he goes nope that's not what you want, let me redesign which you have their come back in an hour. It has been almost a year and I still love my tattoo. I still follow Eric on Instagram. And I'm thinking about getting another tattoo and he will definitely be the person I return to.

I was tattooed by Lefty and was not only impressed with the cleanliness of the shop but the sense of pride and professionalism as well in his work. He did an awesome piece for me without rushing or dragging it out. It healed very clean and was completely satisfied with the end result. I will definitely be returning for more work by Lefty!

Eric and Eddie were extremely friendly and professional. I got my tattoo done by Eric and I am overly satisfied. Would give more than 5 stars if possible. I recommend this place to any one looking for a place to get a tattoo

I wanted to have a sports memorabilia of my soccer team that I follow religiously. This was my first tattoo experience in San Antonio. With the level of experience the artist had, But Turned out to be one that I not exactly wanted. It was bulky, put on extra shading where I did not wanted. Extra bits and pieces from other previous design that was not part of my original design. Felt like the artist just wanted to get over with for good. Still trying to love it but after a month or so I think I need a make over this tattoo, never forget to mention more time and 💰... Of course in some other shop.

This is the shop where I've gotten two of my tattoos, and I love this place! I'm big on cleanliness and aesthetics and this place has both: the artists are extremely talented, the setup of the studio is creative and attention-grabbing but, most importantly, they are clean in every respect of the word! Clean in the studio, clean surroundings, clean needles and sanitary procedures: I highly recommend.

i've gotten two tattoos done by Eddie and each one has ended up better than i could've imagined! the shop itself is extremely clean and the artists are talented and friendly. i'll definitely be going to Eddie for as long as i'm in the area!

After being here 4 years, I have finally found the perfect shop! You know that weird look some other shops give you when you 'don't look the part'? You don't get that here. Even when I asked for something different and a little difficult, no one batted an eye. They rose to the challenge and have given me the most amazing piece of art I could have asked for. My artist is Nina, she's friendly and keeps you completely at ease the entire time. I can' t wait for my next appointment.

10/10 would recommend The Collective Gallery and Tattoo for anyone in the market for piercings, tattoos, or artwork. I went in for a Tragus piercing with Kara and could not be happier with the outcome. She was so kind and very informative regarding the placement, process, and aftercare for my piercing. The shop has a great vibe and everyone in it is HIGHLY skilled in their craft.

My first visit to the shop with my daughter couldn’t have gone any better. Shop is organized and clean. Eddie and Eric were awesome!! Super knowledgeable, helpful, and cool!! They made her 18th birthday one to remember forever. Thanks guys!!
