Best Tattoo Artist: Mike Woods

Mike Woods, owner of Advent Tattoo Studio and Art Gallery, has been transforming Houston’s bodies into works of art, one sleeve at a time. Clean lines, detailed art and original designs — all while keeping abreast of new and innovative trends — makes this shop the go-to for quality art that will have your peeps asking, “Where did you get that ink?”

And if you’re sad frowny face unhappy about a hideous tattoo that you got elsewhere, plead your case to the court and he just might work you in — Woods has certainly saved more than a few damsels in distress. He holds his staff up to those high standards too and, if you can’t get in to see Woods as fast as you’d like, Mike Ashcroft is just as talented. Check out their work on Instagram (instagram.com/mikewoodsart and instagram.com/mikeashworthtattoos), then set your appointment at this amazing outside-the-loop shop that doubles as an art gallery.
