The Collective Gallery and Tattoo Studio — Attraction in San Antonio

The Collective is the place to go to for tattoos. The artists have a range of styles and techniques that will surely fit the most pickiest of customers (I'm super picky).

Certain parts of it weren't finished and one of the boots if you look didnt have any outline where as the other boot does the helmet looks jacked up. My artist walked away from doing my ink and went out back with some guy for maybe 15 mins. That day I spent almost 1000.00 dollars and wasn't pleased mine looked like a 100.00 tatt my friends turned out good. I'm going elsewhere to get it reworked.
