I have VERY mixed feeling about this place.
Know that the new location sucks: the building looks grungy from the outside, is extremely crowded on the inside, the parking lot has a steep incline pulling in (makes a difference for some of my car loving friends with low rides), and not very many spots to choose from.
I have not gotten any ink from this establishment.
Only a nose piercing.
Why?
They charge a ridiculous amount to, first, set an appointment and, second, for the artist to draw up a sketch. Neither are refundable, and both friends who have shown up for their tattoos at Super Chango had their artist each freehand the design right onto their bodies! Neato, I know, but why did they pay a fee to have the artist not draw anything before hand?How come the appointment fee doesn't account for that?
The tattoo shops I have wondered into stay around $100 per hour. Super Chango not only gobbles up your money in fees, but also charges $120 per hour at the least!
"Good tattoos aren't cheap tattoos"
Yes yes,
but I would rather not pay extra for their large ego.
I don't feel I'm going too far saying that, either --- The times I have gone in, both as a customer and as a tag-a-long, my party has had to practically MAKE someone talk to us, though there has always been at least three guys hanging out behind the counter.
The workforce has always been a little more concerned with the friends hanging out and the music playing rather than the customers they make pay to be there at a certain time.
Why mixed feelings? The five tattoos; on friends and friends of friends, that I have seen come out of here have been amazing work.
However ////
The tattoo parlors I wonder into on a regular basis (sadly no new tats since I joined Yelp!) is full of smiling artists doing what they love, greeting their potential return-customers, and winning them over with their fantastic skills **cough Locally Famous ** **cough Royal Ave. Tattoo**
I called to get new location. Â some idiot asshole who was rude on top of stupid answered the phone and after five minutes of "stupid", I still don't no where they moved. Â Don't want people to know where you are, then don't answer the phone . I'll take my money else where. After having two sleeves done there, you'd think they would want the return business . Guess not. Ray Delph
Review Source:Place is clean, new location sucks, over priced and they're rude.
Do your research, make the drive into Houston and get the total experience. There are so many Tattoo Studio selections and amazing local artists it would be a shame to waste your experience at this place.
The atmosphere has changed since the move. The owner actually rushed my artist to finish the Tattoo so he could lock up.
I've personally referred friends to this location and they all report adequate service. Which is great at being mediocre. The employees are loud and mouthy and ignore clients and lack the motivation/desire to listen and design a custom piece.
Quality work, manic-ego, client service deficient.
Best tattoo shop in Houston.
Most recently, I got a medium sized tattoo on my back. I walked in early Saturday, made an appt. for 4 and got the tattoo done in two hours. It was full-color. More than that, it looks amazing! Exactly what I wanted.
They are friendly, sterile and talented.
I've had work done by Efram, Jorge and Pruett, and I am very satisfied with all of it. I think there has to be a certain element of trust and creative exchange with your tattoo artist, and I definitely felt that these guys respected my ideas.
Their pricing is by size: $100 for a small, $200 for a medium, $300 for a large-ish medium and anything over that they charge by the hour. I've been to a lot of rude, overpriced parlors with friends who aren't very picky, but I always come back here. Much love to the monkey.
