The Collective Gallery and Tattoo Studio

This is an excellent tattoo place. Eddie did an amazing job and every one was professional and made the environment comfortable. I highly recommend this tattoo shop they do an amazing job. The place is so clean and they are reasonable in pricing. You will definitely get your money's worth and more.

Had an amazing experience getting my tattoo. Came in with a loose idea if what I wanted and Lefty was able to draw up an amazing idea that exceeded my expectations. The whole process was super easy and the outcome was fantastic. I will definately be going back for any of my future tattoos!

I've been going to this shop for years. They are very professional and are great about bringing your ideas to life !! I recommend this shop to anyone getting their first tattoo or adding to an existing one. Thanks again Lefty!!

I had a tattoo done by Eddie today. First of all this place was immaculately clean. Eddie is an amazing artist and skilled at tattooing. I've had several tattoos done and this was definitely the best experience so far. The pricing was BEYOND fair and the finished product was exactly as I had wanted. I would recommend this place to anyone, will be recommending it to friends and family, and will absolutely be going back for more work.

I just finished up a solid piece today with Lefty! It's dope and more than I could have hoped for. Pricing is very reasonable and it's an extremely clean shop with a great set of employees. My overall experience was beyond words, very comfortable experience with some cool tunes playing to distract from the pain. I definitely recommend collective if your trying to get something beautiful. Lefty was the man and for sure someone you can trust to tattoo you.

Lefty did 3 tattoos in the last few months and very impressed. Some of the best artwork in San Antonio. Very professional, clean and quaility every single time!

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). I chose Lefty for his amazing grayscale work but there are two other artists, Eddie and Eric who have some dope color work. If you go to the shop you'll see. They're drawings and photos are sick.

Lefty was able to bring to life my ideas and put them on both paper and my skin. He was polite but straightforward which I really appreciated. Was able to walk me through the process from start to finish (deposit/drawing to post-tattoo care) while still giving realistic expectations. I couldn't be happier.

If you're looking for $45 custom back piece then this isn't the place for you. If you're willing to pay for professionalism, experience, and creativity then this is the place for you.

My husband and I moved to San Antonio last year and went to get matching tattoos we went all around and when we got to collective we knew that's where we where going to get our tattoos done Eddie and Vic did our first tattoos and yesterday Eric turned my husband's chicken scratch into a masterpiece and Nate spent quality time making sure my tattoo was detailed and could fit my small arm and look amazing . This is an amazing shop full of a great staff . Our new and only tattoo spot . Thank you for the great work guys ! We will be back !

Well, it was my first time getting a tattoo. I was pretty nervous at first. The pain does hurt, BUT you'll get used to it by sometime. I was thankful for not getting a larger tattoo as my first. I got Eddie as my tattoo artist. He was a nice gentleman that answered all of my concerned questions. He made sure that I was relaxed during suffering of pain! I would come back for another tattoo in the future! I recommend Eddie if you haven't been here yet. 😄

When looking for places to get my tattoo, I heard that this one was really clean— and I wasn’t let down! On top of the cleanliness, I left extremely happy with Eddie’s work! I’ll definitely spread the word about this place and come back if I want another tattoo!
