Who is Johnny Jackson

History

Pioneering the Neotrad
in Texas since 1998

Johnny cut his teeth on traditional tattoos, being brought into the game by World Famous Larry Shaw in downtown Houston, Texas. Johnny worked alongside some of the industry’s giants during his years in the business, and invited many guest artists down to Texas to work alongside him at the studio.

He also opened the only stand-alone piercing-only studio — Biolab Piercing — now the most coveted piercing shop in town.

In Their Own Words

This is the best tattoo shop in Houston. I’ve had 2 tattoos done here and I get the most compliments on them — the latest by Jason Coquel (aka Color Bomb), it’s absolutely gorgeous. The whole staff is polite and courteous, the shop is clean. I will ONLY go to Texas Body Art for future work.

Johnny Jackson made my tattoo dreams come true. I travelled from Philly to Houston for his expertise and I am very happy! All the crew here were welcoming and there is plenty of killer artwork to look at. Thank you, Johnny Jackson!

Love this shop!! Have a few pieces done here and no matter which artist I get I’m NEVER disappointed. Johnny does a great job of vetting his artists and it shows. I always walk out with a piece I absolutely love. The shop is always clean and the professionalism is outstanding.
