Anthony Z is an amazing artist! He takes the time to listen to what you want and will put his own spin on the tattoo. Im constantly amazed by his artistic ability and his professionalism. I will absolutely be back for another tattoo. Im so in love with my newest piece he did and have gotten so many compliments on it already. Ive been going to Anthony for 4 years now and gotten multiple tattoos from him and wouldnt trust anyone else to do my ink!

I have many tattoos and have been to several shops so I can speak from a place of experience. This studio is clean and I mean SPOTLESS. The staff was welcoming and polite. Emily was professional, personable, and straightforward about what would look good and age well over the years. I felt extremely comfortable giving her full creative license with a few tweaks here and there. She communicated quickly and effectively and really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and knocked it out of the park. She only uses the highest quality products/inks and you can tell she takes pride in what she does. She is extremely talented and I will be scheduling many more tattoos with her.

Emily Woodard @ art of war is AMAZING!!! i got to the studio checked in within 5 minutes she was there consulting w. me on the pieces i was wanting! freaking amazing at putting together what i wanted, i was there from 4-9 and she was so careful and made sure the stencil was placed perfectly and i was in love w. it! she has the lightest touch and is freaking hilarious, i didnt feel awkward or antisocial at all! after both tattoos were done she explained after care to me and said if i had any questions after that i could text her anytime! we love her art so much my hubs is going back in december to get a chest piece done! i HIGHLY recommend emily yall BOOK WITH HER!!

My Sister and I lost our mom this past May. We went to Emily to get our Memorial tattoos done. Emily is an amazing artist. She captured exactly what we wanted and also had wonderful ideas to make our vision even better. Not only was the facilities spotless..they are friendly and the shop vibe was fun. I will most definitely be going back for more work.

I had a cover up done, Anthony Zamora was the tattooist. He did an excellent job.Very professional and friendly at the same time. He tells you everything you need to know as far as keeping it clean when he’s done.Anthony has a lot of ideas if you can’t seem to find something you want done for a cover up..Highly recommended! This is my cover up, I am pleased.

Emily is a phenomenal artist! She has tattooed me several times and she never disappoints. She is so helpful with aftercare as well. She always tells me exactly what I need to do to keep my new tattoo clean and vibrant! I will me getting more done my Emily, for sure!!

Awesome tattoo artist she did a great job was very happy

Anthony, man. Where to even start. After 10 years of dreaming of getting a tattoo, three years of knowing exactly what I wanted, I pulled the trigger and chose Anthony. And I made the BEST decision! He took time out of his busy schedule to consult with me before setting an actual appointment up so I could feel more comfortable. I came back two days later and from start to finish head such a relaxing experience. He’s funny, down to earth and just so talented. His calmness throughout the whole experience made me feel so much better. I’ve found my permanent tattoo artist/shop!!!

Super friendly, professional staff. Handled my family and our matching sentimental tattoos wonderfully. I won’t go anywhere else!

Ive been to this shop twice now. Both times Ive had Anthony do my work. He did amazing and I love them both!

Emily is the absolute BEST!!! I brag about this girl every chance I get. Professional. Talented. Original.

My artist was Emily, and she was very helpful in figuring out exactly what I wanted and what could be done with my idea. I came in with an idea and left with a concrete vision of what I wanted. Shes great with color. We did it in two sessions as it is a larger tattoo. I love the color and would happily go back to her. They charge roughly $100 per hour, which is not a bad rate.

Went in a and talked with Kyle about a tattoo idea I wanted for my daughter. He scheduled and when I went in for my tattoo he created a beautiful meaning strong piece. He is truly an amazing artist, pays attention to detail, and truly takes pride in his work. Strongly recommend seeing Kyle for any tattoo needs. Yes there are 2 other artist that were working and believe this shop has artist to fit anyone’s needs. I will be booking again for more work.

Anthony did an amazing job piercing my daughter’s nose. She was nervous and he made her feel comfortable. He was knowledgeable and experienced. Will definitely be recommending him! Thanks, Anthony!

Love, I came in to do a cover up on a stick and poke gone wrong, this was my first real tattoo and Kyle made sure to make me feel as comfortable as I could be throughout the whole session, he took his time to ensure the tattoo was perfect and i couldnt be more in love with the results. Thank you so much!!! 100000/10 recommend Kyle for your next tattoo

The place was very well kept and maintained. Not only did I have a great experience, the staff was very friendly and funny. I had no reservations about a bad experience with these people as soon as I walk through the door. Emily was my artist and in the end did not disappoint on the tattoo that I had been wanting for a while. It came out exactly the way I envisioned it and I do recommend going to her for your tattoo needs. All in all this is a great place for anyone to get a tattoo and I highly recommend it.

I called this shop asking if any artist were available, they said Kyle had a cancellation and could do a consult for me. Went in talked with him, showed him what I wanted and shortly after he got started. Did a fantastic job with my first lower arm piece! Kyle again you did a fantastic job my friend and I will definitely be coming back.

Ive been going to Art of War 2 for about 2 years now and I dont see an end in sight, Anthony has done almost every one of my tattoos, hes a phenomenal artist and a really good guy. From my first tattoo from him on we got along really great, hes always willing to adjust things and talk for as long as we need to make the art perfect, and it always comes out great, hes easy to get along with and an amazing artist. Im always greeted pleasantly by everyone working and they really make me feel comfortable and work with me on whatever I bring in, the prices are great and the atmosphere is phenomenal, I cannot recommend them enough, I tell everyone I know who wants new ink to check out Art of War, Ill see them for as long as I can!

Emily Woodard at Art of War is an amazing tattoo artist. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Got my toucan done by Anthony at their 2nd location off Loop 337. I am so happy I went to him. He did the most amazing job on my tattoo, its a realistic looking toucan and it just looks amazing! If I could add a pic I would. :)

I got my first tattoo here. Kyle did an amazing job and made me feel comfortable thru the whole process.

I absolutely love my half sleeve (unfortunately I wasn’t able to upload pictures). I’m constantly complimented on Anthony’s work. He’s a true artist! I recommend him to everyone.I also recently was pierced here. Anthony made it as painless as possible. I felt comfortable with the process. My piercings are symmetrical and healing nicely. No infections or any other issues.

Love Emily, currently working on a sleeve and she has been great at helping me make all my ideas come to life. Her color work is amazing, lines precise, and she’s got an amazingly soft touch. Can’t wait to get back in her chair.

Excellent tattoo shop! These folks do great work! Kyle is Badass!

Emily did an amazing job on my tattoo. Her attention to details and level of creativity is awesome. Definitely wont be my last one. Ive already recommended her to multiple friends!!

Had my first tattoo done by Kyle. Excellent service and very professional. Highly recommend.

Got my first tattoo here either Emily, she was great with communicating and fast with getting exactly what i wanted. i showed up early to my appointment and she even got me in earlier. great person, great artist, 1863/10 would highly recommend.

Kyle was my tattoo artist highly recommend him. I definitely will be back to get more work done by him.

Emily is amazing, and I will most definitely be back for more ink 😍

Work and attention is amazing, I will only use Anthony from here on out 10 stars but only can rate 5

Anthony did an absolutely phenomenal job on my tattoo! The color is vibrant and it is everything I could have ever wanted. Will definitely be going back to add on in the future.

I got the 1st part of my sleeve done by Anthony. He did such an amazing job! I cant wait to go back in 2 weeks to finish the rest!! He..along with the other artists..was professional and kind. Im super happy with this shop!

The service and friendly staff is exceptional. Each artist does great work and are really helpful in educating you on your tattoo and placement. My daughter and I purchased a tattoo from Gypsy at Art of War 2 and he went above and beyond what we expected. Thanks to Gypsy and all the staff for making this a great experience for my daughter and i, Definitely recommend for your future tattoo needs.

Got a tattoo on my ear - done by Emily. She did a great job and Im happy with the results so far.

I gave Kyle Kranz a simple design for a tattoo and he transformed it into something SO much better! Hes amazing!

I recently had been wanting my first tattoo so I did some research on the places in New Braunfels to get it done. I found Art of War and read a lot of good reviews on Anthony so i decided to make an appointment with him. I am super happy with the results! He was very caring, friendly and didnt make me feel uncomfortable in any way! He drew up what I wanted and helped me decide a good area to put it in since I tend to be indecisive and couldnt figure out what part of my thigh I should put it on lol. Plus the shop itself is very cute and comfortable! He definitely made me excited to get my next tattoo, I will be going back to him soon to add onto my thigh!

Great shop, great people, and great art! Came in as a walk in and was able to show Kyle my ideas and he was able to create a piece that was exactly what I was wanting! The whole team was great! I will definitely come back to this shop! Couldn’t ask for a better experience! :)

Kyle Kranz did a wonderful job on my boyfriend and I’s matching tattoos! Great work for a fair price. We will definitely be back for more!

Anthony (the owner) has been the only person I trust to do my tattoos going on 3 years strong! Best of New Braunfels for sure. Love this place, I’m there just about every month to get something new.

The shop itself is very clean and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. highly recommend

As its my first tattoo, my tattoo vocabulary is limited. But this place is amazing. Kyle Kranz was my artist and he blew me away. I gave him a very structured design with not a lot of stuff to work with. He took a few days and went above and beyond, blending in all the things I talked to him about. The detail -the line work, the shading, the coloring - is incredible. He talked to me about the process, checked in with how I was handling everything, and made sure that I knew exactly how to take care of his artwork. The artistry is impressive to say the least. Highly recommend.

Gypsy did a spectacular job on my tattoo! The atmosphere was very fun and the people there were wonderful! Definently coming back again!! Worth every penny!!

About a week ago, I designed my first tattoo in memory of my childhood dog who had just passed. Kyle took my design, cleaned it up and made it tattooable for me. He took his time, and made my first experience so memorable. I’m in love with my tattoo and will definitely go back for more.

Everyone here was super nice, Gypsy did my tattoo and he was super cool to talk to. My tattoo turned out amazing and the colors are vibrant :)

I had Kyle as my artist and we had a really good idea for a tattoo it turned out way better than I could’ve expected he’s a brilliant artist and creative artist he took a ton of time working w me and advising me for my first tattoo and it was worth every dollar I spent I highly recommend this studio they know what they are doing and are very clean and safe

I highly recommend Anthony. He is skilled and very knowledgeable at his craft. He is the best artist I’ve ever had do work on me!

My two friends and I went here with hopes of getting some professional piercings. Unfortunately that is not what we received. My friends nostril piercing was supposed to be symmetrical to her pre existing nostril piercing and it was noticeable off, so bad to the point that she took it out within 30 minutes of getting it. Mine seemed fine at first but after a day and a half I woke up to it halfway out to my nose and when I tried to push it back in it wasn’t budging. After further investigation it turns out the jewelry had never gone through the other hole of the piercing and instead the L shaped part of the jewelry had been shoved to the side whilst still under my skin. After trying to get it thru the already healing hole on the inside of my nose we gave up and took it out. I went to river rat tattoos the next day and had them fix me up. Turns out this happens a lot at this location and that people come to river rat asking to be fixed up because of the unlicensed piercing that art of war does very often. Very disappointed to find out that they are actually not professional piercers and I will not be going back here or recommending them to anyone.

The staff were very professional I really liked the overall experience that I had there even if it was just for a piercing.

Got my firat tattoo done here by Anthony, very light hand, quality materials, clean work space and AMAZING work. I will definitely be comming back in for more tattoos

This place is super professional and all the nice are really nice! Highly recommend Anthony he’s great !

I had amazing first tattoo experience here! Very relaxing and clean environment and perfect artwork. I am extremely pleased with my tattoo and would like to get more from Anthony. 11/10 recommend

Kyle did an amazing job on my tattoo, and it looks fantastic. I will be coming back again soon.

I could not be happier with my new piece by Kyle! SUPER professional and just a great experience all around. Very clean shop and top of the line ink. I will DEFINITELY be back soon. Thanks again❤

Why travel to San Antonio or Austin? We have serious local talent right here in New Braunfels. This is my seventh tattoo, and by far the best. I have had them done from Los Angeles to Virginia. Anthony is a very talented tattoo artist. He was able to take a picture of a color painting and turn it into a portrait black and gray realism tattoo with color infusion. Anthony caps off an awesome tattoo with detailing and accenting where needed to make it pop and shine. His talents far exceed any artist I have dealt with in the past. His customer service and professionalism are unwavering. He used a Lidocaine topical to make the session more comfortable. When the session was over he provided clear instructions and gave a take home bag with anti-bacterial soap and lotion. I am very pleased and will go back to him for future work. I strongly recommend you book an appointment with him.

Anthony is the best!!!! He has the most amazing line work and ideas!!! He just gave me the coolest tattoo!! Give him a raise!

Anthony did amazing job on my tattoo. I’m loving it...

Great artwork! I’m glad I found Anthony and his artists....I am a 3 time returning customer. Very pleased with their artwork. Art of War is definitely a place to check out if you’re needing new ink.
