I got my ears pierced for 145 dollars
They never informed us on the pricing of the piercings and there was nothing in the shop to signify the prices, I feel it's bad business to not discuss prices before hand.
My friend got a septum but it came out crooked, they took half of but still, even without the half of the septum would've been cheaper than the ear piercings
Ben is experienced and if you are experienced you'll probably enjoy this place but if your knew to getting pierced you'll probably have an experience like mine

I really appreciated having Benjamin as my piercer he was incredibly thorough unlike anybody else I'd ever been to before. he even sterilized all his equipment right in front of me for my own reassurance 10/10 would recommend and will be going back

Jim did my leg tattoo and Ben did my nose piercing. Jim was extremely professional, talented and experienced with over 30 years in the business. Ben was also seasoned with 20 plus years doing piercings. Eceryone was nice and I am more than happy with the finished products. Would definitely go back!

I love going here for my tattoos, my tattoo artist Mike is amazing with doing my tattoos I been going to see him for months now. I can't wait to get more done here. It simple and easy with paying and getting in to have a tattoo done and there not a long month wait like other tattoos places I tried to go to. It very chill place too and I kinda like the environment too, got a couch and music. I was able to go on my birthday in oct And got the Halloween special, $51 for small tattoos. Most tattoos start at $90 plus +$5 if you use card to pay but overall nice healing with each tattoo I gotten from

I was visiting corpus and just happened to stop by forever art. it was a great decision. I live in Houston and drove all the way back for Jeremy to do my tattoo. I recommend everyone hit up Jeremy he is great at his job. I'm thinking about setting up a session with Jeremy for next weekend. that's how good he is. no one could ever do another tattoo on me unless it Jeremy. He is the best and I will continue to drive to corpus to get anything i need done. hit him up he will take care of you.

Jesse is the bomb. I've got three from him now. Got a little woozy and my new "vampire friend" who also works there helped me out with a cold rag.
Friendly and very skilled, thanks y'all. Can't wait to come back and see y'all again.

Jeremy has done all three of my tattoos! I do not trust very many people and my first tattoo it took me a while to find an artist that actually listened to what I wanted. I also wanted someone who would tell me what they where doing and not just let me sit there. Jeremy did exactly this! He is a great artist and very humble. He will quote you almost spot on and will not over charge you. Makes you feel very welcomed in his room. Jeremy will also let you know he is thinking about the tattoo. He does not rush but also doesn’t take forever to get money out of you. All my tattoos still look the same

My experience at Forever Art was fantastic! The staff is very friendly, and Ben (the piercer) was fantastic. He is extremely thorough and emphasizes the importance of sanitary conditions. You can absolutely tell that he wants you to have the best and most successful piercing possible, and he equips you with all of the information necessary to achieve that! If you want a tattoo or piercing, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! -Liz

I came to this location when I was 18 for a piercing and again for another when I was 21 and had an amazing experience with Ben both times....now my 12 year old daughter had her cartilage pierced by Ben and I couldn't be more happy that he was the one to do it. Ben explains every detail of the actual piercing, healing and after care process before doing the piercing and again after. He hasn't changed a bit, one of the nicest men ever and very calming for a normally nervous experience. Highly recommend Ben to do any of your piercings. I'm all about "you get what you pay for

Took our daughter here to get her ears pierced, everyone was super welcoming, Ben was great! Took the time to explain everything to us, we watched as he got everything prepared to be sterilized and made sure we where content. Treated us like we'd been friends for ages, introducing us to his wife as well. Clean facilities, food near by Incase you need some after a piercing or tat :)

I wanted to share something with all of the migraine suffers. My 16 yr old daughter has had a migraine for over a year. Not several, but one that never went away. She's been seen my dr and Dr and even the neurologists. For over a year she's been taking Depakote but even at 500 mg twice a day no relief. She's an honor student who has been passing by the skin of her teeth because she's missed so much school.
Two months ago (after doing LOTS if reading about it and asking around) I took her to Forever Art Tattoo to see Ben for a DAITH. They are extremely clean and professional

I could tell from moment I walked into ForeverArt in Corpus Christi and met Jim Sweeney, that I was about to get an amazing piece of art by a true master of his craft. I described my thoughts for a cover up that was long overdue and showed Jim a couple of photos. Rather than take a stock piece from a book, he drew out his concept on a piece of paper and I was amazed at how he was able to translate my thoughts into a freehand work of art. I can't say enough good things about the experience, the professionalism, and the words of wisdom from someone that has likely seen it all and done most

My boyfriend just got his first tattoo and he loves it! Jim Sweeney did a super quick and awesome job! I'm gonna go back and get my nose pierced by Ben when I have the money for it. He went over his whole process with me while Jim was with my boyfriend. Ben sanitizes everything and uses titanium metal only!

Ben Jacoel did both my daith piercings on the same day. I am extremely impressed by Ben's professionalism, knowledge of his craft, and dedication to cleanliness, sterilization, and friendly approach to explaining what kind of equipment he uses. His piercing techniques and equipment are different from most other shops and his reliance on scientific evidence and proof to justify his methodology is unique and unparalleled in Corpus Christi, TX.
My piercings are perfect. I have had no problems with infection or pain. Ben is truly a master of his craft. If you want a piercing and live within

I went there to get my hip piercings taken out and my first impression of Ben's room was that it was very busy, but clean. Ben was very nice, easy going, talk to you about the process and the importance of aftercare. Only carries top of the line jewelry for your body and stress the difference between cheap and good quality. Ben sterilized every in his little "machines" - very comfortable feeling! Because you really don't know the cleanliness of the shop until you are physically there. Ben always was washing his hands, again sterilizing everything, and just all around making

BEN IS AMAZING! he is probably the only reason this place gets business. He is so careful in giving instructions and me and my friend went in, he KNEW we weren't going to buy anything, and he spent about 30 minutes with us to just TALK about what he would do.
three weeks later my friend needed her old triages piercing out he was very sterile and sterilized his gloves which i haven't seen ANY piercer do & I've been to about 20 shops this year alone. DEFINITELY WORTH YOUR MONEY.
