Wicked Ways Tattoos

The pic is self explanatory. Great service. Was seen that day. Artist was very kind, personable, and made me incredibly comfortable. The process was quick. However, not very pleased with the result after two weeks of healing. The lines are crooked. Variable thickness and inconsistency throughout tattoo. This is my 6^th. Not even sure what to say or do about it other than start planning a cover up. :(

I went in for my first tattoo and Tim was very patient, worked with me to get the script exactly how I wanted. Very professional and clean-​highly recommend!

They pay great attention to detail, they are very professional, and will get you the exactly what you want.

Ive been going to Wicked Ways now for the last year, working on a half sleeve. My first visit was a walk-​in with a friend to get tattoos. We were greeted and welcomed by Mars behind the counter and she set us up with Tim.
This shop is different in that, they work with anyones budget… its clean and smells wonderful. There’s not a bunch of cheesy flash on the walls. All of these artists love custom work. I have discovered in the year that Ive been working exclusively with Tim that he’s not only a fantastic tattoo artist, but he is amazingly talented artistically in so many other ways as well. He is very professional. I cant even begin to tell you how amazing he is with intricate line work and his shading is out of this world! He takes his time to get to know you and thus, you will end up with a fabulous tattoo that you are proud to show off.
I have tattoos dating back to the early ‘90s…Ive been in and out of a few shops in my time. I havent been to another shop in SA that I like as well as WW. Too many good things to say about this place. Cant wait to go back!

Really clean and welcoming. Smelled awesome in there. Staff was nice and made you feel comfortable. Artist took her time and delivered what was asked for. Do need a touch up so will follow up. The price was a bit high compared to others. Location is great.

I visit from NY every few months and I had a few people recommend Tonee so we decided to give him a try. He was nothing short of awesome! I got a teacup with flowers and my husband got a sugar skull, my mother in law even got a small saying on her foot… we were all very happy with the turnout, professionalism and how quickly he created exactly what we wanted. If you want quality work, this is the place to go.

Chose Wicked due to the good reviews and was not disappointed! Sean did a great job improving and owning an old tattoo and making me feel proud to display it again. The shop was extremely clean and one of the nicest ones I have visited. Will go back in a couple of weeks for a new one.

After reviewing shops in San Antonio, I decided to go into Wicked Ways for a consultation based on the reviews and previous work posted on their website. I had an old tattoo that I wanted covered up and came into the shop with a few ideas. Juan was the artist that met with me and went over the possible ideas in which he provided great options and insight on what would cover the tattoo and still be in line with what I wanted. He asked my price range and provided me with tattoo options that would fit into the range. I put down a deposit and he advised me he would start working on the design. The next day I got a text from him to stop in and check out what he came up with. The design was awesome and even better then I expected. We scheduled the appointment and I went in 2 days later to have the work completed. The artwork came out amazing. Perfectly covered up my previous tattoo and he spent a lot of time putting in extra detail to ensure it looked its best. In addition to his awesome talent, Juan was an all around cool dude. The shop is very clean and everyone is very warm and professional. I will definitely go back to Juan at Wicked Ways for additional work. So if you are looking for a unique design, great shop, great work, and an awesome artist. Stop by Wicked Ways and talk to Juan!

My boyfriend and I have been here twice for different things, both visits were phenomenal! My boyfriend got a tattoo done by Juan and he’s very happy with it. Great line work, it healed up nicely too! I got snake bites done on our second visit, Tonee was the piercer. He was quick and super professional. All in all, we love this shop and will definitely be back!

I went here on a recommendation from someone I met and I was NOT disappointed. You walk in and are immediately greeted. If this is your first tattoo, let me just say that’s not very common. Then, the owner Norm came over and sat down to my level (I was on the couch) and he listened to what I wanted and then set me up with Sean. Originally I had wanted Norm or Tonee because I’d seen their work but Sean ended up being the PERFECT guy for this job. It just shows that Norm not only knows his tattoos but he also knows his artists and who they will shine with.
Sean was amazing. He listened to my idea and then sketched out something but also came up with an awesome idea for an element I wanted but didn’t know where it would fit. My tattoo is a set of antlers with a fish hook. It’s a memorial for my father and uncle who were both hunters and fishermen. I wanted my dad’s handwriting Raft somewhere in there and Sean suggested having it «carved» into the antlers. PERFECT!!!
I’m also rather shy but no worries, they have private rooms with curtains so you are completely private with your artist. Sean consistently asked me how I was doing, gave me a break I didn’t know I needed, and answered ALL my questions. I had texted him some images for reference and he actually texted ME after the tattoo a sweet thank you message. This tattoo shop is completely different than most in the atmosphere and rest assured you will have super talented artists working on you.

If I ever need another tattoo I will definitely be returning! Matt was my artist & he did an awesome job! Very clean & the guys were ready to go when we walked in. Very friendly people & ready to do some great work.

My sister and I just went in for our first tattoo. AJ was awesome and did a fantastic job. He made both of us feel very comfortable and let us pick whatever music/​tv we wanted while we were getting them done. He was very personable and down to earth. I highly recommend this tattoo shop & getting some work done with AJ

It took me a little bit to finally be able to get in, at absolutely no fault of the studio. But once I got there it was amazing!!! Tonee did an awesome job at recreating a picture for me and now that it’s on my skin, it looks even better. Tonee has at least three more to do for me and without a doubt, he will come through as he has done with this one. I think the work he did on my arm has convinced my girlfriend to go in and fix up the mistakes from other artists on her.

I originally had my tattoo when I was in college and it was a favor from a friend. Well 14 years later it looked horrible. I heard about Wicked tattoo and I am a firm believer of you get what you pay for, so if you think they are to $$$ ad want something for nothing then I go somewhere else. Tonee who is a Disabled Veteran artist was amazing! He took my messed up tat and enhanced beyond what I have envisioned. The shop is very clean and well organized. I never felt like they were trying to make money, I actually felt like they wanted me to have a Badd ass tat. Tonee is a Vet I am a Combat Vet so I knew he would take care of me… Blood in Blood out!!!

Awesome work. I got tattooed by AJ and he was awesome! Yes they can be pricey but the way I look at it you are going to have this for life so it best be good. AJ sat and worked on ideas with me and even took 2 days to draw it up. He was very personable and cool if I wanted any changes to the design. He had no problem talking to me during the tattoo and let me either listen to any music I wanted or watch anything on tv. I will be returning again.

I’ve been here before to get a chest piece done and I constantly get compliments on it. Today I went in for my first piercing. It was just my ears but Justin was very professional and upbeat; it was obvious that costumer satisfaction was important. The process was quick and painless. I always recommend Wicked Ways. Can’t wait to go back in for more tattoos and piercings.

I bought a Groupon as a gift for my boyfriend and he took in his own idea of his tattoo. It wasn’t extremely detailed or elaborate and not even that big, yet he was charged $ 350. In my opinion as someone who has several tattoos, ranging from so-​so work I had done on impulse to extremely good work from one of the best artists in Houston, his tattoo ended up good but not great and EXTREMELY OVER-​PRICED. It was small to me for what was charged, it was literally done in one hour, so of course there really wasn’t any time taken to ensure good detail and excellent line work. Also there’s a lot of unnecessary black outlines, which to me just indicate either inexperience or unwillingness to put in the shading work, and the lines themselves aren’t even perfect. There’s obvious shakiness in some areas.
I WISH I had gone in with my boyfriend the first time when he agreed on the price, because there’s no way in hell it’s worth that much money. I honestly think the prices were raised to make up for the loss in the Groupon discount. If you don’t want to give discounts then just DON’T give out discounts.

My boyfriend and I went in to get different pieces. We walked in when the shop was being somewhat remodeled and Norm took time away from that to consult with us. He was able to understand my boyfriends vision (which in my opinion was not easy) and arrange things in a way that would look awesome and make sense. He took both of our ideas and ran with it and so far has done an amazing job. They work as a team there and I can really appreciate that. I would definitely recommend any one there. I never felt uncomfortable once like I have at plenty of other tattoo shops. I’ll be going back soon

Awesome shop! The atmosphere was very relaxing and comfortable. It didn’t feel like a dirty place, which in my experience most tattoo shops do. Which is why I never committed to sitting in the chair. There wasn’t any flash on the wall, which took me by suprise. Also, their tattoo guns are so quiet you hardly hear them working. I liked that there were individual rooms set up for each person as well. Norm made me feel at ease and explained the entire process to me in such a way that was helpful, not demeaning. He did «are you doing OK?» checks several times which made me feel better. The lines and shading on my tattoo are just as I hoped. I am certainly planning on going back again and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Went to the Wicked Ways shop on Saturday, ¹⁰⁄₂₀ for an appointment with Norm, the owner. My design was ready when I got there, and was just what I wanted (and more).
All the guys there (Matt, Tonee and Norm) are very professional, and the whole shop is very sanitary and immaculately clean!
Norm took the time to make sure I was happy with the design and the placement, as well as color — and it was a great expierence! I’m already in talks to get my next tattoos done there!
If you are looking to get a great tattoo — give Norm and the guys at Wicked Ways a call, you will not be disappointed!
