Painstaking Art Tattoo Shop

Absolutely love Painstaking art tattoo!! All the people that work there are just amazing and the studio itself is very clean and professional!
I’m currently working with Biggabe on a full sleeve coverup and his Japanese style is on point, I’m so happy with how it’s all coming together!
I travel from Lubbock Texas for every sitting and I can’t recommend this place enough!!!

Went in today to plan a future tattoo appointment and left with a matching tattoo with my wife! Nick the artist was very friendly and easy going on every pitch I threw at him will be back for more ink! Very clean and nice environment!

Tracy Lambright has tattooed my entire arm and I am itching for more. This studio on Canal street is the prefect setting for the quality of work Tracy provides. It is extremely comfortable and well decorated. The artwork and furniture bring a level of class not usually associated with tattoo parlors. Tracy has decades of experience although he is a younger guy. He has a light touch, works fast and specializes in larger traditional and/or Japanese pieces. I strongly recommend Tracy for your next large custom tattoo. Our last session, he drew a dagger freehand and it looks amazing.

I'm almost done with a fabulous sleeve thanks to Tracy. He was one of three people I was considering for this project. Ultimately he had the best vision for incorporating a number of elements in a cohesive way. He's a very talented artist.

Since he opened his place Painstaking Art, I've been impressed by the layout of the shop, the talented group he's put together and how comfortable everything is. The place is clean, cool looking and with comfortable tables that can be adjusted in a number of positions depending where your piece is going. Clearly a lot of time and thought went into setting up this shop.

Additionally, Tracy is fun to work and chat with (and I should know as over 60 hours have gone into this piece). We talk about everything ranging from the origin of Japanese tattoos to musical genres and the recent taming of his wilder beast hair (now cut in a kinda metro-dude short cut, courtesy of his take-charge girlfriend).

This brings me to an important thing: Tracy is professional and very respectful while working on clients. As a woman (albeit a non-traditional-one), Tracy is very respectful working around (lets call them) 'girl bits.'

My sleeve extends just above my chest. A lot of my female friends that have gotten tattooed elsewhere in more delicate areas have relayed some real creeper stories. I've had none of that with Tracy. I feel comfortable with him regardless of where he's working. I don't think he'd tolerate disrespectful behavior from anyone in his shop, and the artists he's brought on have stellar reputations - think folks like Gabe Bayles aka Big Gabe.

So, in addition to being a great artist and a fun guy to talk to with a clean, hip and modern Tattoo shop, Painstaking Art is also a place where women getting work done can feel at home.

I'm looking forward to finishing my current sleeve and having Tracy start some work on my other arm. Really glad I found him!

Wow! Great shop. Very comfortable. If you're nervous about sitting for ink work, this is the place to be. Nick did some awesome artwork on my wife and I'm getting some work done on a ship by Tracy. Very glad that we came in.

Just walking into the shop you can see the hard work and detail that was put into providing you the best experience. Not only a tattoo shop but a museum and collection of art and the passion these tattoo artist share. Getting a tattoo is a personal experience. I have followed Tracy Lambright to Painstaking Art Tattoo, his professionalism and attention to detail sets the bar on Japanese and America tattoos. Currently completeing a full sleeve that was started years ago. First sitting and lovin it!!!

Very professional experience, went for a cover up left with an amazing Japanese style dragon. Can't say enough good things about Tracy and his crew plus the inside of the shop is unlike anything you will ever see. Stop by and check it out for yourself.

The place is Very clean and decorated very nice. Tracy has been working on a coverup. Best thing I ever did was to let Tracy do his thing. I’m beyond happy with the work.

I loved working with Tracy. He was very welcoming, responsive and really knows what he is doing. It was my first tattoo and I really love how it ended up. Location is great too!! Cool, spacious and clean :)

Tracy was meticulous and creative in his design of my kraken tattoo. His skills are unmatched particularly with his Asian influenced tattoos. I highly recommend Tracy and Painstaking Tattoo!
