I had an amazing experience here at Legacy. From start to finish. I wasnt initially planning on scheduling anything I was just shopping around at the time. After speaking with a few people there at the shop I decided this was the place to be. Everyone there was friendly, multiple people asked if I was being helped, which I really appreciated. I got my work done by Chris, 10/10 imo. Dude was awesome. He listened to my ideas incorporated some of his and was up-front about what he was comfortable doing and not so comfortable which was something I was worried about, someone just going for it even if they didnt feel comfortable about it. He answered all of my questions even if I asked them multiple times.I tend to fill dead air with random conversation (its just something I do) which he didnt seem to mind during the tattoo session. Good conversation and great guy all around. Highly highly recommend. I cant wait for my next one.
I would have given five stars but when we came in we needed help with my daughters tattoo because something had changed. They made me feel like I was judging them and came off abrasive and condescending. She did not get the tattoo there but instead of listening to the customer a couple of the artist kept talking over me. Finally I just shut my mouth and let them talk. After that she got her nose pierced and I had a new one placed. The lady that did the piercing was very sweet and professional. We never received her business card to call if there were any problems. My daughters piercing has done great but mine appeared to be infected slightly I had no way of calling and asking for the lady the did the piercing because I did not know who she was. I could have described her but it would have been better to have had her card my piercing worked itself out so in the end I didnt need to call but I would have liked to have given her a good review personally.
Essie is the BEST! She makes me feel so comfortable and I have never had any complications with piercings she has done. She did my belly button and my daith. Absolutely a 10/10, wont go to anyone else!
The shop is clean, staffs are nice and friendly, and most importantly, you can find Petey who has top tier talent and is very experienced in b&g tattoo. Got my half sleeve from him and couldnt be more happy with the result. Will definitely recommend!
Super outgoing and fun people! Would definitely go again, they make you feel safe and are professionals that do their job extremely well!
Got my belly button piercing redone there! And my friend got her nipple redone. Both of our piercings came out PERFECT! And she didnt use clamps! :o Essie is my hero. This was my third attempt at getting it pierced and Im glad I came here. Its healing so nicely, and its no longer crooked! Tysm!!
Great experience at Legacy. Clean store and fast service. I’m a fainter with blood and they took awesome care of me.
Love Hector! Great personality! I am a ginormous baby & he Kept me distracted and fixed the tattoo I already had. Super impressed. Will be back to finish my sleeve.
Chris Martakis absolutely crushed my Hebrew text & semi-colon tattoo. Since its such a simple piece, the linework was crucial and I couldnt be more pleased with the final results. Its crisp, clean, solid, and exactly what I envisioned. This was my first tattoo and Chris did a great job of making me feel welcomed and I never felt out of place. He was patient when I asked to put on a second stencil, and was well balanced in the amount of professional advice he gave while still meeting my vision at the end of the day.Will definitely be returning and couldnt recommend Legacy or Chris enough.
Ive been thinking about getting nose piercingIve asked around and a lot of good feedback was giving so Im thing about this place.
They are very nice and clean, they have a really fun up beat energy. They did my nose ring and it didn’t hurt what so ever. I also got a big tattoo from them and they made sure everything was clean and sanitized. I’m actually already going back for another tattoo. They have plenty of artist to choose from and they can do very detailed work. If you wanna tattoo GO HERE.🤗Esse was my favorite employee
Awesome Artists, super clean and very professional. Everyone here is very nice and helpful! Thank you Legacy for my amazing work!
I had trouble putting a new septum piercing in and came to get it in. I was super nervous that my septum had close but they totally fixed it for me. Very nice people and I’m very happy to have my septum back in. And special thanks to the person who put my septum ring back in name Essie
Legacy is AMAZING! From their customer service, professionalism, atmosphere, and lets not forget the TALENT! WOW! Just wow, I cant say enough great things! Petey and his staff are all great people and I cant wait to book another tattoo again!
Hands down the best shop I’ve ever been to! All the piercers and artist are very knowledgeable and professional. Client comfort is a priority and it’s appreciated!!!!!
Update: As you can read by the owners response, the customer is always wrong. I didnt get art a couple days beforehand, I got it one day before at 1am after cancelling my appointment earlier due lack of professionalism. Mind you this was a full backpiece. Use this business at your own risk, because the owners ego will not allow any courtesy towards a disappointed customer. All you had to do was apologize, but that was too much.to I don’t see this as consistent issue with the business, but regardless my experience wasn’t good. My first suggestion is don’t tell a client that is about to spend thousands of dollars on something permanent that it’s “difficult in my job keeping everyone happy”. Long story short, during my consultation I was told that it would take some time to get to my artwork, but it would come in time for revisions if needed. Well I waited patiently for 1 1/2 months for anything, so I called the week prior to my appointment to get an update and was told that he would get to it Wed/Thurs of next week. By Friday, which was 2 days before my first 10 hr session I had to contact him again because I had received nothing. After the comment about keeping everyone happy, I basically lost trust in the artist and cancelled my appointment. I finally received the artwork at 1am today, which would have been one day before the appointment. Not sure why it couldn’t have been sent during the first email of the day. I was told it was at his home, I had to assume it wasn’t done yet, which factored in to my cancellation. It wasn’t bad, but it needed significant revisions to get in line with my vision. Anyway, I am out the $300 I paid for deposit for something that was not delivered on time and will never be done. The money isn’t that important, but the principle is...
I went in on a Saturday night without an appointment, was able to have my small and significant tattoo done. The artist was very patient with me, as I could not decide on the alignment of the tattoo. It came out just the way I wanted.
Awesome work, great people, fairly priced, super cool overall vibe of the place. absolute best shop in town!
After contacting and scheduling a tattoo session with a couple of “artists” in College Station, I came to realize that they didn’t have any sort of standard of professionalism. On top of that, they only had bad things to day about Legacy.Legacy Tattoo not only proved them wrong, Petey was an absolute Professional of the highest tier. We spoke of the design and I could tell he was absolutely enthusiastic about, it speaks a lot about having a passion and He has it!! I showed up for my appointment and it was nice to feel like a person and NOT a number for once. Petey and everyone in his studio was so cool! I can’t wait to for another positive experience at Legacy Tattoo!
First off this shop is super clean. Good music and entertainment for those long stays. We were a walk in client with my 6 year old to get her ears pierced. Nate did the piercing and he was awesome!!! Heads up because there’s a Ron Swanson in the room and you won’t even know it until you leave and see photos.Thank you NATE!
I was looking to get a Halo tattoo as my very first tattoo, and decided to contact David Hershman to see if he could do that for me. He replied fairly quickly and was down for the idea. We met up and discussed the tattoo composition and location and really I just gave him creative freedom with it. When I arrived to begin the first day of tattooing and he showed me what he had worked on for me, I was AMAZED!! It completely exceeded my expectations and he really went above and beyond. He was truly an awesome guy and very easy to talk to. It was such a pleasure to have such a pleasant first tattoo experience and just like how he was recommended to me, I will recommend him to everyone looking for a work of art to get tattooed. Thank you so much David, youre the best!!
I meant to write this a few months ago, but Legacy is a great place to go for any piercings! Essie is awesome and is always willing to help or answer any questions (even with tattoos!) I’ve had ear piercings, a septum, and had my nose piercing changed here multiple times and it has always been a great experience!
I LOVE this business. My girlfriend went in and was filling out information to get her little sister’s ears pierced when she asked if she should even do that so soon before going to the beach. Most places I know would say it’s fine just to take your money but INSTEAD she told them to come back after the trip. We will all be back from here on out for our piercings!
I come to Legacy for all my piercings! I’ve had great experiences from both Vick & Essie - they know what they are doing & are very helpful/patient when picking the placement of your piercing. Every piercing i’ve gotten from here has healed great with absolutely no problems. 10/10 definitely recommend coming here especially if you’re nervous because they are super cool & make you feel welcome, thank you guys!
My sister had gotten her gorgeous tattoo done here a year or so ago and raved about how wonderful they were! Naturally, when my daughter (6yrs old) started begging me to get her ears pierced this was the first place I thought of. We came in and saw Vick and she was amazing! My daughter was extremely nervous going into the appointment and Vick gave her time to get comfortable. She chatted with my daughter and showed her all the instruments and explained the process to her so she would know exactly what to expect. When it came time to do the piercing Vick walked me daughter the the whole process. Her patience and understanding through the entire thing was amazing and I will forever be grateful to her! We will definitely be coming back to Vick for any piercings in the future and I cant speak more highly of her!
Jennifer did such an amazing job on my tattoo! She made such a beautiful sketch of a tattoo to honor my abuelas passing and did such amazing details on it. I would 10/10 recommend her to do all further future tattoos
I went in to get a quote for a tattoo that was literally 6 characters, 1x3 inches in size. I was quoted $100. I kindly left and went across town to Liberty Tattoo and got the same thing for $60. What a joke.
I have gotten 4 piercings done here by Essie and love them all!! They healed great, and I didn’t feel any of them when I got them done. Essie is the only person I will ever trust with my ears. Shes a piercing queen!!
My dude Chris Matakis is a Pro. I got my first tattoo from him and i’m so glad i got it from him. He’s super professional and a really genuine and honesty guy. Super funny and easy to be around!!!!
Vick was an absolute doll! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get pierced as she is so knowledgeable and professional. She answered all the questions I had and made me feel really comfortable. Vick fixed my second nose piercing and second navel piercing from an inexperienced piercer. I trust no one else but her and I will only go to her from now on! Also, if you get 4 piercings here, you get the 5th for free!
Got my nose pierced and the piercer did a wonderful job! Definitely recommend!
I got my first tattoo tattoo over a year ago, and have been nothing but happy with each and every tattoo since then. Chris does an amazing job, and takes his time perfecting every detail. Very happy with his work. 10/10 recommend. You won’t be disappointed!
Essie was my piercer and I got my nose piercing last week. When I got it she was so encouraging and happy to help me that day. I came back today because my nose ring slipped out and she helped me instantly and tried her best to make sure it didn’t hurt! Overall really great place
I go to Legacy pretty regularly to get pierced and soon Ill hopefully be going to get tattooed there regularly too once I rise above my student induced poverty. The shop and the people are awesome. I first went in for my septum in July of 2020 and since then I think Ive gotten something like 15 piercings since. I mostly go to Essie because of when I can get to the shop, but I have piercings from Vick and Nate too! They all do a great job and Ive never had any healing issues. Ive also gotten tattooed by Kara and Jennifer and havent had a bad experience yet (they did a great job of explaining specific area aftercare for my tatts). They have this magical power of making me feel better and more like me every time I go in for some work. I would definitely recommend this shop for fast, quality and professional work!
Vick and Essie are both amazing. Essie has done all of my piercings and she executes them flawlessly every time! 10/10 Vick helped me changed my jewelry and make it look perfect. I was having some issues with healing my piercings and she gave some amazing advice. They are looking amazing now. Both women are so kind, patient, and welcoming. Come here for your piercings please!!!
They were so nice and very clean and orderly especially with covid going around they made me feel safe and comfortable. i LOVE my nose piercing, thanks so much guys
The piercer was amazing! She always told me what she was gonna do before she actually did it. She warned me about the pain whenever she was gonna do something. But with my high pain tolerance, it was no big deal. She was very engaging.
Jennifer is by far the best tattoo artist I’ve had. Clean, courteous and professional. If you want a great tattoo, make sure you ask for Jennifer.
Pete did a squid tattoo for me. Its amazing -- I am very satisfied. I strongly recommend coming to this location for your next tattoo or piercing. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Ive gotten one septum piercing and one tattoo here and they both healed really well and everyone was friendly, Ive gotten piercings at other places where they did not know what they were doing, but I recommend legacy. Essie is nice.
Really loved getting my tattoo there! Klenk was very professional and made sure I was not in too much pain. The tattoo looks beautiful,if your looking for colors then shes the artist to go to!
Very professional and safe. Would come again
Petey and the crew at Legecy Tattoo are like family. I have been going to Petey and his artists at the shop for almost all of my tattoos! This place does not compare to ANY OTHER SHOP when it comes to the quality you are paying for.
Legacy has a very friendly staff, very clean place. I’ve gotten piercings from the amazing Essie. She is fast and efficient. Ive gotten a couple tattoos from Petey he did exactly what I wanted and amazing job.
Went here to get a tattoo and they were able to fit my friend and I in even though they were busy. Randal tattooed us and he was great he even gave my friend a great experience for her first tattoo and he did clean line work! Also saw the piercer there and she was quick and accurate when piercing all my friends. Definitely recommend coming here everybody is great.
Essie is the best! She knows what she’s doing and makes you feel comfortable right away! I will definitely be coming back
Chris did an amazing job on my tattoo! He designed it himself and was amazing! Especially for my first tattoo!! Highly recommend him! Got my first one from him back in 2016 and have gotten another shortly after!!
I always have such an amazing experience at Legacy. Essie is absolutely amazing and never fails to make me feel comfortable!! The shop is incredibly clean all around. All of the piercers are also so knowledgeable, and I have had other friends get piercings from the other piercers and they always have such great things to say! Definitely a great place to go for piercings!
Essie the best piercer ever! She will answer all your questions and concerns. She’s very accommodating and will make your piercing dreams come true!
From the moment I walked into the tattoo lounge From the moment I left I was HAPPY the entire time! Staff was super friendly & Pete did an amazing job consulting with me about the desired tattoo & he spent quality time with me executing my exact ideas an putting them on paper. So Made my deposit that day & schedule my appointment! When I arrived for tattoo day he was on time so professionals and just as enthusiactic as I was for my tap out seccsion Pete also made sure to wrap with some amazing stuff before I left to insure i had a smooth healing process which also made it super easy for me. I get so many compliments on my tattoos & I will NEVER go anywhere else for ink!!💙
I got a tattoo my Ernie Romero, the tattoo is badass deep contrast and sharp lines. He listened to what I wanted and delivered much more. Quality second to none
This is probably one of the best shops I’ve ever been to. Charlie at the front is always very nice, gets you checked in quick and easy. Chris does amazing tattoos, @happydtormtrooper on IG. Essie and her whole piercing experience is really the best, she makes you feel so comfortable, she’s so nice and funny. She makes sure you know what’s best for the aftercare and makes sure you like what you’re getting/the placement. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.
First time going for a piercing and had the best experience. All the staff is great, especially Vick she makes you feel comfortable and good convo. Definitely recommend.
Vick did my belly button piercing and she did a fantastic job. She was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable and even helped me pick out a ring that fit my style. Took her time and did it the right way. She took special care to make sure my piercing was in the right place (I had someone pierce it crooked before). 10/10 would recommend her :)
Walked in after my piercing fell out two days before. Was met by a really sweet girl who took care of me within 3 minutes. Great place, friendly people, and good value for your money! Would recommend 100%
Essie was incredible. Hype woman the whole time and was so quick and easy with it. 10/10 go to her. She was an absolute queen
Got my helix pierced about 30 minutes ago, and it was such an awesome experience! Essie was super quick and it didnt hurt nearly as much as I thought it was going to. Essie did an amazing job and Im so happy with my piercing. The vibe in this place is amazing and I will definitely be back!! It was $35 before tip, and Ive seen higher prices at chain places like Icing. HIGHLY recommend, even if youre a poor college student :)
I had been wanting a tattoo for awhile, but travel a lot for work. When I got out here I quickly looked up shops to go to and legacy was right by my hotel, so I walked over and the shop was awesome the whole vibe was welcoming and chill. I was great quickly and told them what I was wanting to get done, Jennifer was the one who I very happily got to do my tat. Shes really talented and accommodating, because I wanted to do it all in one sitting and have a tight window to do it. We talked about what I wanted and scheduled our appointment for the following night while she put the piece together. Her line work and layout of it came out awesome! Hope to get some more pieces done by her.
Legacy is clean with an exceptional staff. Everyone is professional and willing to work around what you want, as well as bring their knowledge to the art work for the best piece you can get.
This is my go-to place for tattoos! They have a solid crew who can offer a wide range of art styles. They also allow walk-ins and usually have an artist available. I highly recommend them if you’re looking to get some ink or piercings done!
I wish I could leave a 5 star review. I have loved all of my experiences getting piercings from Essie, I think Ive gotten 5 from her now, and if I decide I want more I will be returning to her. The reason for my 3 star review is from trying to schedule an appointment for a tattoo. I didnt even get one, just trying to schedule one was enough of an unprofessional experience to make me decide to go elsewhere. The artist I was messaging did not draw what I wanted to begin with even though I had sent a picture specifically of what I wanted and a text about the picture to go along with it. The artist then scheduled my appointment for a day that I told them I was going to be unavailable. I woke up to an angry text message on that day because I had no-showed and when I tried to apologise for the misunderstanding I was told about how I messed up their day. I understand it is frustrating to have someone no show and I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but the manner this was handled was so unprofessional I wont be getting my tattoo from Legacy.
Everyone that works here is super nice and good at what they do. Essie is my favorite piercer in town
The customer service was terrible. I came in around 10:45pm. He even knows he was being rude he said “sorry it’s just the last hour of my shift on a Friday night” as if that’s excuse to be rude. I came in for a small minimalist tattoo about 2 inches big and wide. This tattoo is very meaningful to me and he ruined my experience. I didn’t get his name but he had a hood on, colored eyes, with a long beard and mustache and wasn’t wearing a mask. I will be taking my business elsewhere and with someone who want to make money.
Essie!!! Go see her for any piercing needs, she’s funny and makes it as painless as possible!
I was very nervous about getting my Daith’s pierced for medical reasons. I had been having really bad headaches. Vick is a piercer at legacy tattoo. She was really knowledgeable and shared with me that this has really helped others. Let me tell you, she has saved my life!! Not only do my ears look so cool now but the headaches are manageable now. She was fast, and professional! I’m usually a big baby, and I handled it pretty well. I went back to Vick for my jewelry change and again, she did such a good job. If your in College Station/Bryan or the surrounding area, it’s more than worth it to go see Vick! She’ll do you right!!
Petey did both of my tattoos and he does amazing work!! I would definitely go see him again!!
Essie was AMAZING. Piercing was clean and quick and she’s just generally awesome
Now has nothing to do with the quality of work. The quality is definitely amazing and the ink I did get from them was great and I love it. My big problem was when I went to go back and messaged to see about openings, my tattoo, and price. And never heard back. Messaged a couple times after and still nothing. It would get read and then makes as unread and re-read. Just didn’t sit well with me.
Great place to get piercings! I just booked a tattoo appointment there can’t wait
ESSIE IS AMAZING love her gotten like 5 piercings here and they have all been AMAZING
I came in super nervous to get my second ear piercing but Essie made it fun and painless! Highly recommend!
Got a tattoo here a few weeks ago and felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire process. Unfortunately though, they had a picture of what I exactly wanted on my tattoo and they did not add everything onto it. I get anxiety about things like this and did not notice until I left the shop and wasn’t sure what to do at that point. Now i can’t stop thinking about it and it bothers me that it isn’t exactly what I wanted because it meant so much to me. Other than that the tattoo quality was amazing and they did a good job.
Chris Martakis is the man! Very nice, funny and reasonable priced! By far my favorite tattoo artist I’ve gotten 3 from him and 4 for my wife! If you stop by ask for him!
I went and got a tattoo by Josh and he did a fantastic job!! He was super nice and when i wanted changes to the design he was more than willing to help. Would 10000% recommend
Went to Chris Martakis for my very first tattoo and haven’t stopped goin back to him since. His energy and personality are great and he does awesome work. I can’t wait for him to finish my arm, i suggest y’all check him out! 🙏🏻
Essie is the best, she knows what she’s doing and she’s the only piercer I will ever go to!
This shop really is THE BEST! Totally chill and all the artists are A+ -> Petey has assembled a wide array of amazing talent so its easy to find a artist you vibe with and fits your aesthetic. Carlos has been tattooing me for over a year and I always look forward to working with him on different pieces. Definitely a rad guy with a killer eye for the art!
Essie is the best! Seriously if youre thinking about getting a piercing look no further!
My guy Chris Martakis Slings that ink!!! Got my first tatt from someone else at 18 and after two years it looked terrible!. I went to Chris and we did a couple sessions and it was like brand new how I wanted it. 10 years later still getting compliments on it! Dudes got mad skills with that color!!! Highly recommended!!!
Essie was the BEST and was so fun and amazing with us for our piercings!!! 10/10 recommend at this place!
Came with a special lady friend and got her a small tattoo, for her birthday. I was worried that the artists might think that something that small was not worth their time, but that was definitely not the case! Everyone there was very respectful and we both felt right at home. Well definitely be bringing out bigger jobs here. Yeah you can find cheaper tattoos, but its your skin and your problem if it sucks. Just go here, you wont regret it at all!
Vick did my septum and my labret, never even felt it! She is amazing, will not go to anyone else.. I highly recommend legacy.
Wow can’t even begin to explain how much I love this place! I just got two nose piercings Right next to each other today and Vick freaking killed it. All of my favorite piercings are done by her, I love her work, I love her personality and I appreciate that she always educates me on what to expect from the piercings over the healing process and obviously tells be the best way to clean it and she just gives quality piercings!!!! 10/10
Wonderful local business! Great service! So talented and thoughtful!
Shout out to my girl Essie! This is the third time Ive been to their shop, the second time because I needed help putting jewelry in my daith piercing. Her piercer did a great job, and she was amazing and personable and a huge help! Also they are nothing if not spick and span clean! Thanks guys!
Absolutely the best shop in Bryan/college station. Filled with wonderful friendly people! I’ve already gotten 2 tattoos from 2 artists.
Great all around experience, awesome customer service, nice clean shop, great prices and my tattoo is exactly like I wanted it. Ask for Jennifer when you go she does killer work!!
Y’all go check out Ernest Romero for the best work this side of the Mississippi.good quality work!!
The tattoo artist rushed both of mine and my fiancé’s tattoo. This is two weeks into healing Abd there are spots. You can see the line work, And he was heavy handed at times then not. This was also a cover up and he didn’t even cover it up when I asked him to make the size bigger . I will not be going here again.
Always does the best work for me. Been coming to get my work done here since they first opened up..
I got my nose pierced by Essie and she was AMAZING! So professional and so fast, she took about 1 second to pierce! I would highly recommend her for any piercings!
