Painstaking Art Tattoo
A Modern Tattoo Parlour in Houston’s East End

Our Goal is to…
ADORN YOUR SOUL
Painstaking Art Tattoo strives to bring you a unique experience with professional artists who can bring your vision to reality. We separate ourselves by providing our guests a beautiful space full of inspiration and reference that even your mom would be proud of. Our founder and custom artists came up tattooing on the shoulders of those before them, who recognized their talent and passion for what’s becoming a lost art.
In keeping with that tradition of exclusivity, Painstaking Art Tattoo selects artists who have earned our respect by continuously working to better their craft. While it has become easier to learn to tattoo, we look to find those who appreciate and respect the art of tattooing as much as we do.
Regardless of knowing what you want or only having a vision, our team of artists can create a unique design that will exceed your expectations.
