“While visiting Waco, my wife had an issue with her tattoo that she recently got back in San Antonio and we were looking around for help. We stopped here and the crew were top tier in their assistance. They reapplied her second skin and gave us professional advice on how to care for it. Thank you again to Jake and Claire for helping us out!”

“I have been coming here for several years for my piercings, and once I turned 18 I started getting tattoos here too. I have had a total of three, all amazing and beautiful. The person who did my recent cover up did a fantastic job, way better than the reference picture I gave him.”

“My sister and I wanted our dad's signature (he passed away 33 years ago) tattooed on our ankles. We walked into Star Ink and Jake was amazing. It is perfect. Great work, friendly, and very clean. Go see Jake Nava, you will not be disappointed.”
