Straight Line Studios

Straight Line Studios is a tattoo and piercing shop on Judson Road in Longview, working out of Suite B with a crew of resident artists. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday, with Mondays by appointment only. The roster covers a range of styles from traditional to modern, and the studio Instagram and Facebook pages are where new work goes up first. Both are worth a scroll before you book, since each artist has their own lane and the fit between your idea and their style is most of the job. Custom pieces typically start with a conversation about size, placement and budget, and the shop takes appointments by phone or through its social pages. Being on the Judson corridor puts it in easy reach from most of Longview and from Gladewater and White Oak. For anyone who has been thinking about a first piece and wants to look at real healed work before committing, the posted galleries are a reasonable place to start.
