Therapy for the Soul
As the owner of Assassin Tattoo & Piercing, I can safely say working with you — your inspiration, your ideas, and your memories — is a privilege we will never take lightly. We are a family of artists that have found a way to satisfy our need to create.
We’ve heard that “Tattoos is therapy for the soul”, and we can say that is as true for us as it is for our clients. Many know us as the most authentic Asian tattoo shop in Houston, but spend some time in Our Gallery, and you’ll see that we have grown to become even more than our reputation would suggest.
Life and death, side by side.
A soft balance between fragility and permanence — delicate florals growing around a timeless skull.
Blending smooth black & grey realism with subtle color to create contrast, depth, and emotion in a compact composition.
Clean, elegant, and built to age well.

A personal story, reimagined in motion.
Inspired by the unique fur pattern of the client’s cat, this piece transforms that memory into a running leopard — blending familiar markings with a powerful, dynamic form.
The result is not just an animal, but a symbolic translation of love, speed, and personality.
A custom design where identity and movement come together.

From unwanted to unforgettable
This cover-up transforms an old tattoo into a refined ornamental piece — centered with a delicate rabbit motif, surrounded by intricate filigree and deep red jewel accents.
Carefully designed to mask the past while creating balance, elegance, and flow across the upper back.
A true example of how the right design can completely redefine the skin.

Strength, instinct, and control.
This custom piece blends a realistic lion portrait with bold graphic elements — shark jaws, hex patterns, and glowing red symbols — creating a powerful contrast between nature and design.
Black & grey realism meets modern composition, built for impact and movement on the body.
Every detail placed with intention.

This black & grey piece captures the power and flow of a long-horned snake, blending Japanese influence with a modern, fluid composition.
Strong contrast, bold background movement, and clean linework are just the foundation — more depth and layering to come.
Built step by step, session by session.

This black & grey crab design captures a quiet intensity — layered textures, organic forms, and controlled contrast bringing the piece to life.
Every detail, from the shell to the claws, is built with precision to create depth without overworking the skin.
Strong, grounded, and protected.

Healed and settled.
A black & grey anatomical heart with subtle storytelling — scars, stitches, and a bandage marking the places life has already tested.
Soft shading and smooth transitions allow the healed texture to remain clean and natural.
Some hearts carry history.

THE best tattoo shop in Houston!!!

Peng designed and tattooed an AMAZING cover up over an originally very spread out & very dark tattoo. He was very patient with me during the design process and I’m obsessed with my new tattoo!!
I highly recommend anyone planning their next ink to come here!! The artists are talented and really care about making sure you like the work done. As some of the other reviews have said, definitely make an appointment as they are super busy at all points in the day.

Got my first tattoo here on Saturday and it was a great experience! Olivia did mine and my bf’s tattoos and they both came out looking amazing! Would absolutely recommend Olivia and Assassin Tattoo and will definitely be coming back to get more work done in the future.

“I am beyond satisfied with all my experiences at Assassin Tattoo because of the amazing people who work there! The environment is welcoming and the artist I met named Jack has been able to deliver on all my tattoo ideas & make each visit memorable! He has been very helpful bringing my ideas to life and designing each tattoo with exact precision & care! So far, I’ve gotten 3 tattoos from him within the last 4 months & I have loved each one (the one posted is the most recent)! I would also like to extend my gratitude to all the other exceptional staff members who work there that make Assassin Tattoo the BEST tattoo shop in Houston!!!”
