American Tattoo & Piercing Company — Local services in The Woodlands

My daughter and I came in yesterday and we’re both pierced by Syddni. We had scheduled an appointment through their site which was amazing.

A couple of weeks ago I reached out to discuss the piercing since my daughter was a minor and has a great conversation with Syddni.

The facility: I’ve had more piercings than I’ll admit to in my 20s. I’ve been in numerous tattoo/piercing shops across Texas. I’ve never been in a shop that was as nice as this one. Even though the layout is similar to others, the design and decor give it a more upscale appeal. But like Tim Burton meets The Nun upscale. And I LOVED IT!

The piercers: we were immediately greeted by the male piercer who was friendly and welcoming. On more than one occasion my experience at other shops has been the first person that notices me seems annoyed and that they would rather be at home. Definitely not here.

Syddni came up and started all of the paperwork. She then had my daughter start reading over the aftercare instructions while she prepped the room. Once we made it back to the room she explained to my daughter each step needed for the septum piercing and what to expect pain wise. She has a calming energy and was really great with my daughter.

After she finished I decided I wanted to get a piercing too and she went ahead and took care of me.

What I really love is that she took a lot of time assessing the anatomy of where each piercing would go. Because not every nose or belly button is right for a piercing. I once had a botched industrial bar when I was 23 so I appreciate her being responsible and thorough.

I wish we had more time to discuss aftercare but that is 10000% my fault. I was 10 minutes late to the appointment due to not getting gas before I left and I squeezed in a second piercing in our time with her. Her next customer was there and it was their turn for her attention.

She did give me her contact info for work and encouraged me to reach out to her with any questions and also let me know that when we want to change jewelry, we can come up there for assistance until we’re more comfortable with it.

This was quite possibly my best experience with a piercing and I’ve already referred two other people to come here for piercings they’ve been wanting.

Regardless of where you live in Houston, this team is...

We stopped by American Tattoo Company right after lunch. A friendly guy greeted us when we walked in. I showed him what I wanted and he went to the back to grab an artist.

Dominic took the time to listen to what I wanted. I showed him pics on my phone and he went to the back to draw them up, he shrunk it down as small as he could, but it was still too big for where I wanted the tattoo. He explained that with the water color like I wanted, it needed to be bigger or it wouldn't look right. I really had my mind set on getting the tattoo on my forearm and the drawing would wrap around my arm, so I asked if it was ok to change my tattoo. He was very friendly and didn't mind at all. I apologized for all his hard work he did creating the drawing for me and again he said it's no problem, and how it's part of the job. He went to the back again to draw up my new design. I asked for 2 humming bird silhouettes, flying in opposite directions. I wanted the wings to be faded color to look like they were flapping fast while hovering. I showed an example pic. Over all I'm very pleased with my experience with Dominic. I'm extremely happy with my tattoo.

While I was in there the first artist desk area was doing a really cool design on a woman's back. Another guy was there and the artist all the way to the back of the room designed a very important piece for a Marine. He worked and worked until his client was happy with every detail. His tattoo turned out great. All black, thin letters.

I liked that they didn't push sales for their tattoo ointment. he mentioned a few different ointments and I had auqifer already so I chose to use that. Followed the directions on the paper they sent me home with.

Overall rating: 5 stars for cleanliness, staff friendliness, helpfulness, willing to work with me after I changed my mind.

I'm very pleased with everything and would definitely recommend Dominic and American...

I visited this shop on 2/22. I needed a 2nd opinion on a nose piercing I had received in November from a local shop in Conroe that wasn't healing well. Miguel was able to work me in on my lunch break. The moment I walked in I was impressed with how "sterile" the shop felt. It was nice and clean. I was also impressed with the case full of jewelry options. Something I wasnt afforded at the previous location. Miguel took a great deal of time in educating me about the different types of jewelry he had and we talked about my piercing and what needed to be done to hopefully improve the healing process. I originally had a long L post and he recommended we switch it out to a labret. He also had me change the cleaning regime that I had been instructed to do. The previous shop had diagnosed me with having a keloid but Miguel was able to debunk that and even educated me further on what a keloid truly is. I was so impressed with his attention to providing education. Especially since this was my first piercing (aside from my ears when I was a child). I definitely recommend Miguel. And if I have any future piercing needs - this is the shop I plan on coming to. **By the way, my nose piercing has been healing amazingly well after changing it...
