San Antonio is commonly referred to as "Military City USA, " so it's no wonder that Ink Couture is known for its military tattoos. We take special interest and pride in producing exceptional tattoos featuring iconic American imagery like eagles, flags, as well as Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, and Coast Guard specific tattoos.
Watercolor tattoos have gained in popularity in recent years. Water color tattoos use vibrant colors and subtle gradients which ultimately fade out to imitate the classic style watercolor painting. Let Ink Couture Tattoo Artists transform your body into a living canvas with a beautiful watercolor tattoo.
Characterized by their bold lines and bright colors, neo-traditional and traditional style tattoos were made popular by pioneer tattoo artists and have remained popular for decades. This style often utilizes iconic imagery like skulls, roses, anchors, crosses, ships, etc., and this classic style of tattooing is sometimes referred to as "old school."
Japanese tattoos are among the most recognizable. With traditional Japanese subject matter such as koi fish, dragons, cherry blossoms, geishas and tigers which are simultaneously detailed and symbolic. Japanese tattoos utilize rich and bold blacks mixed with contrasting colors including orange, pink, turquoise, blue, red, and yellow.

Emily just fixed 2 of my tattoos I had done by someone else and I am very very pleased with them, they are perfect. She also did a saying my son wrote and I could not have asked for it to turn out any more perfect. She has done some of my older work in the past years and I will definitely be coming back to her .

I highly recommend Ink Couture Tattoos! Everyone was very friendly and professional. Covid precautions were taken and the entire place was very clean. My tattoo artist, a.one, was great! He was very knowledgeable and honest, and actually helped me steer clear of a tattoo I would likely regret in a few years. The tattoo I ended up getting was simple, but I could tell a.one was extremely talented. He was friendly, funny, and kept my mind off of the pain of the tattoo. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

A-One did a fantastic job on the matching ankle tattoos my daughter and I wanted. The staff were polite, professional and quick to help us. The tvs in the private tattoo and piercing areas were a nice touch, creating a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely get more work done at this shop and I would ask for A- One.He was fast, dedicated and he has good taste in movies. 😆

I was pierced by Christina at this shop a few days ago, and now that it's been a few days I can fully say that she did a fantastic job. She pierced quickly and near painlessly, especially considering I got 2 piercings in one sitting, snakebites. Minimal swelling from the minute I got the piercings to now, 3 days later. It was clean and there are safety and precautionary measures on the wall so that people know exactly what they need and how to care for any piercings. It was a great experience and I highly recommend coming here to get piercings done in a clean environment!

Way over priced. I was quoted $400 for a line drawing. I felt the girl just didn't want to do it. It was kinda insulting. They were nice it gets really busy so don't bother walking in like I did (even though I called and specifically asked if they took walk-in) it truly was a waste of time. I took my business elsewhere got served immediately and they got my $500. (I had two other people with me.) They also told Me it would take 3 days to draw a freaking peacock feather. I'm not making this up it sounds ridiculous but this really happened. I gave them 2 stars because they were nice

I had been doing my research on tattoo shops for about a year already and always kept looking back to ink couture so it was about time to actually go in and potentially get a tattoo, and I am so glad I did. Everybody starting from the front desk was incredibly nice and professional. My artist was A One and he was very nice and cooperative with the design I wanted. He did an amazing job and I am so happy to have gotten started on my tattoo journey. He was very thorough with aftercare instructions and even gives out cute design stickers to first timers! I’m already super eager and excited to continue

Got my tattoo done here by A-One, was very professional and did the tattoo detail very well. This is my second tattoo by him & I will more then likely be going back for more still. He makes the whole process very comfortable for getting a tattoo at least & very available when needed!

Came here for my very first tattoo and was connected with Justin. I showed him a picture of what I was looking for and he came up with an amazing design. Justin was very professional, extremely talented and friendly. He was easy to contact and set up appointments with. The shop is also very clean and the staff are helpful and welcoming. They also provide military discounts! This was a great overall first experience and I will be coming back in the future. Highly recommend.

Gibby is an artistically talented tatoo artist! He is professional and has a great personality.
I had the most amazing experience. He took the time
to listen and check on me during my tatoo session.
My memorial Phoenix tatoo for my grandson Oliver is colorful and detailed.
I am completely satisfied with my tattoo.
Gibby has amazing customer service skills and was attentive to any request or need.
The staff is courteous and attentive.
I will definitely recommend Gibby and plan to come back again.

Me and my boyfriend have been to Ink couture around 6 times. 2 at the sheinfield location and the other 4 have been at this one. Their quality has been across the board! Kay has done an amazing job designing and executing our ideas and tattoos and they have healed so beautifully every time. Found our tattoo home! and we have seen them actively cleaning during these times.

After looking online at some of the artwork from LA, I inquired with him regarding some ideas I had for a cover-up. Within a couple of hours he responded and set up an appointment for the next day. During the consultation he was very friendly and professional and immediately began developing ideas for what I wanted. After a couple of weeks of back-and-forth, we settled on an idea that I ended up doing. What an artist! I was absolutely blown away at the talent this man has! His patience, customer service and knowledge are unmatched and will continue to go back to him for more work. Absolutely perfect

The whole process was ok and the guy who did mine seem to be preoccupied with other things. I had a appointment and he made me wait for over 30 mins. When I got into his space and on his chair in the middle of it he had to step out. When I left they never said what kind of care to handle my new addition with. They seem more interested in getting money than making the whole process a good one. Getting a tattoo is a personal choice, it's permanent and with you all your life. The whole experience felt like I was in the way. They where humoring me, taking my money.

Be careful coming here.
I was initially given a $350 price, then communication was horrible. Once the owner contacted me since I complained, I thought everything was resolved, was then given a rough $450 estimate. But when I went in again to get it estimated once more, I was given a $600 estimate(which was according to them cheap for a neck tattoo) I felt already committed since they took my $50 for deposit.
When I went to another tattoo artist to tell them what I want...which actually looked throughly at my neck and my design I wanted. He gave me an estimate, when I told him how much this shop

Called Sunday afternoon around 2:30 to see if my sister and I could have something done. The lady who answered the phone was rude and seemed like she didn't care whether or not we were bringing the shop business. She didn't know the answers to any of our questions, like when we could schedule an appointment to have the work done, when would be a good time for a consultation (which she suggested), the near by cross streets, anyone's names, she couldn't recommend an artist etc. She said to call the other Ink Couture shop and couldn't give us a phone number, address or a

I was recommended this shop by a coworker who's gotten multiple tattoos from here, I walked in and was able to snag a tattoo from Axel. He asked me lots of questions and even measured the area for the tattoo. He had a good price and I waited in the lobby to go back. He was very quick to get the design and stencil done, and I had no issues with it at all. He let me put on my work polo to make sure it was coverable and double checked the size and placement was fine. He did an outstanding job! Shop was comfortable to be in and clean. He was great for conversation with a very light hand. His

I had an amazing experience at this shop! Not only is the shop beautiful. As soon as you walk into the door you feel welcomed. Everyone is super friendly and attentive.
My artist was Axel and he is amazing. He drew exactly what I wanted and even made a few changes that I asked him to do with no problem. He listens to what you want, takes his time, is an amazing artist and does excellent work. This is the first tattoo out of many that I'm actually happy with and where I had an excellent experience. Axel is definitely the artist I will be returning to for more work.

I met Claire at a Tattoo show in San Antonio and I found my artist for life. Not only can she draw, she can paint with different mediums and can translate all that to skin. I've gotten other tattoos by good "tattoo" artists, meaning they could translate the art to the skin. But Claire is not only a good tattoo artist but she has the ability to translate the art she creates into that skill. My T-Rex is a perfect example. We had references to start but then she drew in other parts to make it pop. I'm very happy with the outcome.

Kristin is the sweetest, and Travis and Axel did an AMAZING job!! We went here (with 7 crazy women) to get martini tattoos in honor of my recently passed grandmother. I was so anxious about organizing it, but Kristin was so sweet and communicative about accommodating us all. She got back to me within the hour of me reaching out!!! The guys were so funny and chill, which made the whole process more easy going for the tattoo virgins haha. Their line work and honesty of what would be good/bad for what we wanted was fantastic. Absolutely recommend you checking them out :):)
