So grateful to have found Electric Chair! Been through some life changes and I mark the changes in a variety of ways. Two ways are with tattoos and piercings. Chris did my piercing and replaced some of my jewelry. He was kind, funny, patient and knowledgeable. He was also fast. Highly recommend!! Observed him piece 3 little girls. He is very good.Also wanted ink, and Puppet did an 8” tattoo on my back. He is fast, also funny, and kind. He plays comedy and musical videos while he works to help his clients relax. Super quality of workmanship! He is thorough and a great artist!! Highly recommend! Wow!

I got my first piercing from this shop back in 2009 and its still around !! Great service. Decided to get a tattoo today and sooo glad I did. Prices are very fair and reasonable! My tattoo artist was Puppet and he was awesome !!! Absolutely love my tattoo and will be going to him for all my tattoo ideas. For someone who is scared of needles and had a tattoo that required shading 😱..Puppet made it a fast and non painful experience! Highly recommend!!

Really cool guy(Muppet,I believe) Just needed to change my labret. VERY reasonable price, so I tipped him as well. Your body art and piercings are worth a tip

Great experience. Got my lip and smiley for reasonable price. Very clean, very quick, perfectly measured symmetrically with my other piercings. All I had to do was bring proper ID and tell ‘em what I want and that was it. 100% recommend

Not only is this place pretty, but clean and professional as well. My cousin and I got our nose pierced by Stormie who was really nice and patient with me because I was so nervous. Stormie talked to me to distract me and also explained everything she was doing. I have a suuuper low pain tolerance and it was so surprising to me how I felt no pain (just a little pressure) when she pierced my nose. Overall my cousin and I are happy with the service and hope to come back soon for more piercings/tattoos ! Thank you, Stormie !!

Got my nose pierced today and cannot even begin to express how satisfied I am. Tim was professional and did an excellent job of walking me through the process including helping me pick out the initial jewelry and plan for my ring. As someone with a low pain tolerance and anxiety, this experience was heavenly. Will definitely be coming back here for future piercings and as well as tattoos. Ask for Tim!

Great experience everytime . Got 5 piercings done back in January and am currently stopping by once every couple months to get my lobes stretched I am aware I can do it on my own but I don’t trust it so I’d rather get it done. I’ve dealt with every piercer they have and all are friendly and professional. I plan on getting another soon . 10/10

The guy that did my piercing years ago(whoever he was) was a very nice guy. Didnt see him again next time I went in there, I read most of the reviews, which seem to mostly come from females about how great the service is. I gave this place THREE chances to redeem itself, and was disappointed all three times. I walked in Saturday to inquire about a new nose ring. NO ONE EVER GREETS you, NO ONE IS EVER at the counter, and it feels awkward just standing there and EVERYONE saw that I came in...(THEYRE looking right at you through the glass.) No one came to the front to ask if I need help, or at least make the statement, Give us a few minutes....something!! Instead, I spoke with a waiting customer in the lobby who stated that they all may have clients. My opinion: Females get better service. I walked into this place on THREE separate occasions, and the same thing happened. Ill just look for someone else to refer to and bring my friends...(which they would have made money on three people that day) I dont see how they are still in business. I do wish them well, but I have my opinions as to why no one rushed over to say Hello, how may I help you? Ill no longer visit that place. Someone who shows a sense of care can get my money. Heres to wishing them and their future customers well.

The piercer was very gentle, knowledgeable, and quick. The wait time wasnt excessive and the place is well decorated. Although I wasnt offered the option of a regular or jeweled jewelry (jeweled jewelry was given to me and it was $2 more than the other option), I am happy with my jewelry and piercing. It is healing well. Oh yeah, I got a nose piercing.

I absolutely loved this place. Brought my 6 month old for ear piercings and Chris did an AMAZING job. He was so patient with her and the process was super fast. It was all in one fast motion. Chris would insert the needle and by the time he would remove it, she already had her earring in. Mind-blown!The place itself is extremely clean and they have a germ-x station in the entrance. Masks are required and rooms are ridiculously clean. I felt safe taking my daughter there.

This place is great! Back in November, I took my 4 month old to get her ears pierced and Oscar did such a great job! It’s been 2 months and her ears are healing nicely and they look great. There was practically no swelling after her piercing and the earrings are so symmetrical. I highly recommend this place!

Stephanie did my tattoo and ultimately changed my life. Not only did she do an amazing piece on my outer wrist, but also gave me confidence to grow in my mental health journey. I will be referring friends to this establishment in the future. A special thank you to Stephanie for not only doing this awesome piece, but for also helping me heal and grow!

We had our 3 month old daughters ears done here. Chris did an amazing job. He was very patient with her and very calming. He made sure we liked the position of where the earrings will be and didnt pierce them until we were 100% sure. He was quick and good at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone looking to get their childs piercings done.

I took my 5 year old and 2 year old to get their ears pierced by Oscar. There was a wait but they were slammed so thats understandable. He was very patient and asked for consent from my daughters, he made them laugh and just made them to be as comfortable as they could. When my 8 year old is ready for her ears to be done I will be taking her back to Oscar.

The first time I went in I got my nose pierced which was $42, they gave me a pack of sea salt, I got to choose which jewelry I wanted and they provided information. The second time I came in I got a tattoo, very neat and nice for $50. Of course I had to wait to get both done, they sterilize and prepare everything. Just give it patience. They are very friendly and hilarious. :)

I took my 7 year old daughter to get her ears pierced (first time) and our experience was incredibly professional from start to finish.My daughter was a bit nervous going in, but that quickly faded. Chris, who pierced her ears, was calming from the front counter through the entire piercing. He explained the after-care to both, us parents and my daughter, thoroughly. The price is reasonable; includes earrings and post-care solution.The shop was clean, the piercing room and equipment (needles, earrings, etc) were straight out of sterile packages. No tears at all. The post piercing sensitivity lasted a only few minutes and there is no pain at all (pictures are 5-6 hours later). I would highly recommend this studio. Thank you Chris, you made a little girl’s day!

Review №36

My septum retainer had slipped out and I had contacted this shop before coming to see if I would be able to purchase another retainer. However, from the 10 minutes after I calling, when I arrived the man at the front was very stand-off-ish when all I needed help with was picking a retainer that would be similar to the one I had. He had no clue on sizes/retainers that would work well.I was a little taken back since I have never had an experience like this any other Electric Chair location and/or other tattoo shops. I would rather go somewhere else if the customer service lacks this much over something very simple.

So I wanted to get my nose pierced at the age of 34 and looked up tattoo and piercing on Google and ECT&P came up along with other places. I called both and thats where I made my decision to go to ECT&P. For 1 they answered the phone where the other place, sent me to a VM then texted 😒me(I was driving and I DO Not text and drive). 2 the price was about the same but again ECT&P price was better. 3 I asked questions and Chris was there to answer them before I pulled up and reassured me it was going to be quick and painless. My experience at ECT&P was awesome and I will be back for my tattoo Chris. Thanks again for the great customer service and my piercing!

I had gotten my ears re-pierced and my first nose piercing. Oscar was beyond what I was expecting. He was very laid back, friendly and very thorough. I was nervous but he kept me cool. I highly recommend if it’s your first, a re-pierce or even more...HOLLA @ OSCAR!! Thank you again Oscar!! By the way, there were other artists there. I didn’t catch their names but they were very sociable and friendly. Definitely recommend and will return!!

Review №43

Well, there were some positives and then there were negatives.Positive: Friendly nice people, clean shop and a gentle hand when it came to the piercing. They used a needle (NOT A GUN) which is an absolute necessity in my opinion.Negatives: I got three piercings on my lobe & upper lobe. They used the same needle for ALL three piercings. This is a terribly unhygenic practice as Ive learnt. Also, one of my piercings was completely crooked and refuses to heal and is constantly irritated. And they had no useful resources or any after care advice when things went bad and my piercing was giving me trouble.

I just got a conch piercing from Oscar today and it was AMAZING! It was my first time getting my cartilige pierced with a needle and going in I was very afraid of the pain. Whenever I explained how I wanted the conch to be positioned he placed the dot perfectly and was very fast and efficient with the needle, which barely hurt. He was also great at making me comfortable and calm beforehand. I was in and out in 20 minutes with a great new piercing.

Review №52

My experience going to the shop was pretty good, Tim pierced my nostril a couple months ago. It was clean and he was very nice. After the piercing, he gave me a bag of salt for cleaning purposes. I thought it was odd but didn’t think too much about it.Not too much longer a large bump started to form. I went into ask about it and Tim told me it was pierced at the wrong angle (I don’t think he realized he did it) and to put tea tree oil or rubbing alcohol on the bump, which after doing some research was not good advice.Now, I’ve gone to another piercer for advice and the piercing had to come out due to being at the wrong angle and ill-fitting jewelry.TLDR: I would not recommend going to this shop for a nostril piercing.

They were too busy to get to me, with only 2 customers ahead of me. But I believe they were short staffed or the tattoos being done were going to take awhile. I also felt like the price was too high, the guy quoted me, for what I wanted.

I called asking for general piercing information after overlooking their website making sure there was someone who did piercing on site and I spoke with Tim who did inform me that he did specialize in that craft, I gave him a estimated time of my arrival when i showed up he was there and ready for me. After 12 piercings I knew the drill photo copy ID and for me to fill out a form or 2. With Covid going on he gave me a questionnaire to ensure the safety of the staff and future patrons . Afterwards, he asked me location that I wanted my dermal and he assured with no worries, he allowed me to pick out the ideal color i wanted with the help of his opinion i picked a really appealing iridescent anchor that would look appealing with any color outfit. He was extremely professional throughout the whole process he marked all the necessary spots and had me look in the mirror to ensure he make the ideal markings to my liking after assuring it looks good he went in and got everything done in less than 45 seconds. I had a botched chest dermal prior and was a little worried about my second go around but Tim and the fact that he was a master in his craft confirmed that I made the right decision to come here. He gave me great aftercare tips and was very professional i cant wait until it heals I look forward to coming back for piercing work with Tim :) xo, Jessica

Review №64

They are chill and do what they say, but after having my nose piercing for a month, I have learned that I was pierced in the wrong spot and I have an irritation bump inside my nose from it. When I initially got my piercing, it bled a lot. I was pierced in the crease of my nose on a capillary--told that when I change it to a ring it would sit properly to the front (it wont). When I called about a bump, they told me to use tea tree oil which is ill advised for any kind of piercing.I had to have my jewelry switched by another shop today and found out the jewelry they used had sharp edges which made it very difficult to maneuver.I dont think Ill be returning.

I needed my piercing to be fixed because I had went somewhere else to get it put back in. But they didnt do that good of a job, so I decided to come over to electric chair because the pain was just irritating. 😣 Im glad Oscar was very helpful & heard me out of what my issue was cause I honestly thought I would have to get my piercing redone (after having it in for like 1 year & 4 months).Oscar was like a wizard & was able to fix the issue for me. That pressure of pain went away for a bit, I know it will take a moment to calm down but Im just glad I didnt let it escalated. Thank you again Oscar. 😊

I got my medusa piercing here. It was done with a short bar. I had to go back and get it changed to a longer bar. A couple of months later, a bump popped up near it. I went back to see if there was something that could be done with it, but the guy Joey was super rude because one of his piercers didnt show up and he had a line of people waiting to get pierced. I went to another shop that told me that I had to take it out because the bump would never go away due to the bad angle that it was pierced at. $50 down the drain.

Literally just left the shop with my septum piercing. I explained to Tim that while I have had piercings before, I am scared of needles. He was WONDERFUL. He explained each step and constantly kept me up to date with what he was doing. And in the end, he was right, it wasnt painful (or rather, not any more than my brow piercings). I am VERY happy with my experience here and will definitely be telling people to go there.

When I first moved to Houston, this was this first piercing parlor I tried. My experience throughout the 10 yrs. here has been good. Just up to this past weekend, I needed a new tragus earring and stopped by the store just as they were closing. I was planning on just picking up the earring and putting the earring in myself when I got home, but despite the store nearly closing, Tim offered to put it in for me which I was really grateful of. That saved me time and pain 🤣. THANKS TIM!!!
