Phat Tats Tattoo and Piercings

Well... this review is mainly about a tattoo artist named Danni Magee. The Phat Tats place was clean, other artists seemed friendly, and an overall great atmosphere. We originally walked in with some friends and got an appointment with tattoo artist Danni Magee to create tattoos in memory of our 15 year old son, who we lost 2 years prior. We went back 2 days later for our appointment.She seemed a bit bossy with others (so I thought she owned the place, but she doesn't), and she seemed a little too "sure of herself" but I loved what she drew up from the pictures I gave her and went ahead with the tattoo.Even when my husband was trying to explain what he wanted, she cut him off and said " I got this. Don't worry about it!" Which might be these case, but she should have taken the time to listen when someone is describing something permanent they are placing on their body and is nervous about it. Her "chair-side" manner leaves a lot to be desired.Beware if she doesn't like you, as She talked about putting hidden "dicks" in people's tattoos... kind of immature. She seems to have an "issue" with a lot of people and talks negatively about them. She only completed 1/2 of my husbands tattoo, she seemed agitated, in a hurry, it was late, I guess she was tired and ready to go home (in all fairness we were there almost 6 hours for two tats) and we were told I would need to come back for color touchups in mine, and he would need to complete his tattoo at a later date and do his color then. Kind of disappointed, but we agreed to come back weeks later after they healed.We called to make an appointment (two hours away from where we live) so she could:A) Finish up the tattoo she started on my husband but didn't get to finish (though we paid full price already)B) Do my touch up (as we were told touchups were included)She seemed super rude on the phone when she booked my husband's return appointment, and then we asked if I could get mine done the same day since we were traveling from out of town. Then she told us "Well, I guess I'll have to reschedule my paying customers to do you two" - as if we didn't pay already.Then My husband tells her, "No, you don't need to do that, we can come another time when you have an opening", she said, "well too late its already done!" In a very rude voice. Then she said "Look its my day off and I would like to get back to being with my family" with serious attitude in her voice. She acts as if we are inconveniencing her... which is crazy. Super unprofessional in my opinion.I told my husband this morning that this memorial tattoo means a lot to me, and while I am happy with the design and how it came out for the most part, I don't want her ugly attitude and bad energy to be the one that finishes the color on mine. I think we will take our chances and pay more to get them finished/touched up somewhere local. Unfortunately money lost, but lesson learned, and I would never recommend her to anyone.

Great place, very welcoming staff and some seriously talented artists! I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in corpus! Reasonably priced and I honestly don't have a single complaint!

Let me start by saying that I really liked how clean this place is and I will be coming back. I went on a Wednesday and got four piercings super cheap as they were running a special. The girl that pierced me was a pro, she did it so quick and it didn't hurt, I really appreciated that since the last time I was pierced was when I was a baby. The only reason why I gave it a 4 star rather than 5 is because I was given a piece of paper with instructions on how to care of my piercings, but nothing was said. The girl (I wish I knew her name, sorry!) only asked where I wanted my piercings and said "breathe in" when piercing, not another word. Yes it is a tattoo parlor, yes I probably don't fit in their ambience, but I would had appreciated a few words on what to expect.

Double infinity tattoo finally done and I love it. This place is clean and neat staff is friendly.

My go to spot, got two simples tattoos and a piercing. They are such awesome people and they do not forget who you are. Pretty pricey, but you get what you paid for.

Sammi is hands down the best piercer in corpus. She is so experienced and talented. Only piercer I trust for quality piercings. She's super informative and makes you feel super comfortable. Definitely would recommend!

Mike did a horrible job on my tattoo he did not do well I hate the tattoo .., I am very upset with it

I would rate it zero stars, walked in and started being very disrespectful. Rude service, don't bring you're service to people who are disrespectful.

I have gotten my navel pierced by Sammi and my boyfriend has gotten his ear pierced. The shop is very clean and sanitized. She is a great piercer, She is a very outgoing person and goes into depth on how to maintain your piercing. The jewelry is very high quality and the overall experience very good. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get a piercing. They carry beautiful and unique jewelry that you cannot find anywhere else in town.

I got a my nose pierced and the piercer was very clean and gave me plenty of options. Very professional and good customer service !
