“The place is clean James did an amazing job good communication and attention to detail. Will be coming back recommend to everyone and those of in military and veterans!“

“Wonderful place, the artist and staff were amazing and super kind. The facilities were clean and would definitely return for more work.“

“When I first reached out to Jasmine, I was carrying the weight of a tattoo that never felt right—a mark meant to honor my beloved bird, Julius, but instead reminded me of loss more than love. Jasmine changed everything.

With compassion, patience, and extraordinary skill, she transformed that heartbreak into a masterpiece. The new tattoo isn’t just art—it’s Julius in flight, forever present in the beauty of every detail. The birds, the florals, the way the design breathes... every glance at it brings me peace and reminds me of how special he was. It's not just on my skin, it's etched into my soul.

The process felt like working with your best friend—the kind who just gets it. Jasmine listened like a kindred spirit and translated my emotions into something tangible and lasting. Her thoroughness and attention to detail made me feel so cared for, like this tattoo was just as personal to her as it was to me.

I recommend her to absolutely everyone. If you want a tattoo that speaks, heals, or honors someone you love—Jasmine is the one. I’ll return to her without question for future pieces, because it’s rare to find someone who tattoos with both heart and precision.“

“Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you! This is an incredible piercing shop. It’s incredibly clean and there are so many jewelry options! I got my daith piercing done by Derek a couple weeks ago, and not only was it the most affordable and least painful piercing I’ve ever had, it has also been the easiest healing process! He took the time to really make sure that the placement was perfect, and I truly believe that Derek’s patience and passion for his art is the key to the best healing process. He’s super talented, and I would 100% come back to him!“

“Amazing work!! Loved my tattoo. Always does such an awesome job! He was coming to my hometown and let me know he was in town. Best artist out there! Thanks again!!“

“We came in from out of town for tattoos. We contacted the shop ahead of time and the communication was great. When we arrived, Abel had drawn up some preliminary designs. He was kind, courteous and the tattoos came out great. This was such a pleasant experience.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. I have gotten tattooed by multiple artists and I would say they are all so sweet and creative. I have a little over 35 tattoos and Ive gotten over half of them from this tattoo shop. I have met with other shops and I personally don’t care for them. A lot of places can be overpriced with mediocre work but THIS SHOP gives reasonable prices and does amazing work. Tyson is one of the artists I will go regularly to. I would trust the all veteran artists from this tattoo shop (I haven’t been tattooed by anyone new yet). They make you feel super comfortable and welcomed. I was actually taking a trip to see my bf in Virginia and we wanted a tattoo there but I tried to compare places there and in San Antonio with ratings and other data. I saw that Eternal Courage didn’t have many newer reviews and I just had to share one, especially since this is where I’ve gotten most of my tattoos from!“

Glad I found Krystal!!! I wish I could post a pic of my hair on here❤️❤️ thank you Krystal“
