This place is terrible. Employees are super rude and unprofessional. They do not care about their neighbors or their community.

Visited on Friday the 13th. A little pricey for the Holiday but the work was Superb!!!! Excellent service!!! Friendly atmosphere.

I came here today as a walk-in for a tattoo I've wanted for a while (also my first tattoo). Ricky helped out from placement to advice what I should and shouldn't do with my tattoo. And I couldn't be more satisfied (especially since I've seen pictures online of other tattoo artist mess up thin lines). The staff here is also super friendly, joking and comforting which makes getting a tattoo such a fun experience from beginning to end! The staff and Ricky are also super cautious about keeping everything clean from their own workstations to the restrooms and the sitting/waiting area. I can't wait to come back here for my next tattoo!! read more

We've been coming to Bold Stroke for about a year now and I'm so happy with the work we've had done. Blanca (@blnnk on instagram) not only has beautiful work, but always takes the extra steps to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. I've had really dainty pieces and lettering done by her and my boyfriend has had some more bold/traditional styles, she can really do everything. My year old tattoos look just as clean as the day I got them. The environment is so welcoming, it always feels like you're hanging out with friends when you're there. I always recommend bold stroke to my friends and anyone who's looking to get some quality work done. read more

Great vibe and tattoo quality every time, my go too shop since moving to Dallas. Highly recommend

Popped in here Friday the 13th for an impromptu flash tattoo with a friend. I really liked the vibe here and Sarah was super cool so I booked a couple more with her. She's really passionate about what she does and makes you feel super comfy. Also has impressive freehand skills, and will draw stuff up with you to make sure it's what you like. I'll be back for more. Y'all got crisp clean lines and good vibes. read more

A couple girlfriends and I went to get some piercings and unfortunately we got butchered. I personally have had 20 piercings before and this cartilage piercing somehow was the most painful of all of them. Sadly Juan was not gentle and I am very disappointed. A day later my piercing has been streaming blood and I'm concerned. read more

Bold Stroke Tattoo Studio - Cartilage piercing - Piercing Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I wanted my conch pierced and I searched for a couple days before I chose this place. They almost have 700 reviews on Google and a 4.9 rating. That's not easy to do for any business with that many reviews. This was conveniently close to where I live (about 10 minutes). The average cost of a conch piercing ranges from $45-76 depending on where you go. There was another well known piercing shop in Dallas I called first and they told me $76 PER ear and I decided I would shop around before deciding. This past Wednesday I called Bold Stroke and Alizè told me "We have a Wednesday special, conch piercings are $20 each!" I was excited and a bit leery at the same time, so I asked her how experienced was the piercer and she said he had over 20 years experience. They only do walk ins for this deal so I brought my happy ass down there and got both sides pierced. They use surgical steel and they show you the earrings first and you can decide if you'd like gold instead (which I believe costs more but I didn't ask about the price because as soon as he said the gold piercing had a thicker gauge I declined lol). He sterilized the area with a wipe and then pierced me with his needle. The first one on my left ear wasn't very painful maybe a 5/10. But my right ear was an 8/10. He said it was because I didn't exhale when he did my right ear, I'm sure he was right. But Juan made this experience a very good one for me. I'll be back again for sure! (I'll post photos later after I change the piercing) read more

Really good piercer ! Got my septum pierced and their were nice and very helpful definitely recommend. BUT Shit tattoo artist, don't ask for ninja. He doesn't work at the shop but tattooed on Friday the 13 (he called himself one of the owners 'second in charge') n did a horrendous job on my flash tattoo. he was throwing shade at the other tattoo artist for taking their time . Took it as a lesson to see their past work before sitting in the chair. Don't ask for Ninja , he's a creep and doesn't care about the work only for the money. read more

Came here to get matching-ish tattoos with my best friend and Hakishi happened to do mines. & let me tell ya, he was super duper gentle and professional and sweet. His lines were extra crispy and he even gave me some balm to take home! 100000/10 recommend him. I think him being so gentle made the healing process less of a bitch compared to normal. Go check this dude out! read more

Had an appointment with the great Gabriella! I ran across her instagram page, and used the number she put in her bio to set appointment. She replied fast and was so sweet!!!!! We booked for Saturday, 4:30. I needed to push the time so we agreed on 5:30, which was an easy process!! I arrived and was in awe at the shop set up. Sooooooo tight it's located close to bishop arts, very easy to park as well. Gabriella was working on tattoo but was able to stop and greet me. Soon after we got started. I loveeee my tattoo and she made the environment calm. She's cool. Definitely going back!!! read more

The vibe is awesome, good music and everyone is so chill! Will definitely be going back. Ricky did such an awesome job!

10/10 service and experience and I wasn't even getting a tattoo. I visited this place because my friend was getting a tattoo. The place is bomb! her tattoo turned out really well. The artist are nice, polite, very cool individuals. I would recommend this parlor to anybody even though the parking is terrible. read more

People are super nice and the music was up my ally. Loved the $20 piercing Wednesdays! Will be back.

I went to get my septum pierced on Wednesday September 11, and I'm honestly so disappointed with the service. The guy seemed cool and all, but I noticed the piercing was out of place. The jewelry was not even centered. I privately messaged them on Instagram the next day and explained to them my problem. They left me on read just to reply back a few hours later... they told me to go back, and I declined because I didn't want to take the risk again. The day I went in, I had to wait 2 hours to get the piercing, so I will not go back. I understand it can get busy but 2.5 hours seems a little too much when only 2 or 3 people were ahead of me. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but I don't think the situation was handled professionally. read more

Awesome place. I've now gotten 3 out of my 7 tattoos from Bold Strokes, each one from a different artist, and I'm never disappointed. My sister has also gotten some of her tattoos here as well as a nose piercing. I've been tattooed by Hakishi, Gabriella, and Luis. All 3 were super friendly and professional, and all 3 gave me exactly what I had in mind for my tattoos. Luis also does piercings, and I had a really bad infection from a cartilage piercing I'd gotten a couple years ago. The earring was literally stuck inside the swollen part of my cartilage (yum!) and he got it out pain-free (and also for free). They are also always having really great deals, too (you can find the deals on their Instagram and Facebook pages). Examples being $40 2x2 tattoos, $10 piercings, etc. They charge a very small fee for paying by CC, so I'd either bring cash or if you really don't care, they accept card! (I think it was either like $5 or 5%, but I really can't remember...lol.) If you're looking to get a new tat/piercing in the future, definitely check this place out. read more

Ricky was amazing! So friendly and nice. Great technique and very professional. I love coming here :)

If you're looking to get the most out of your hard earned cash and want quality work done this is the place. This is Definitely a place to go if you're looking for top notch artists read more

I went in for a belly piercing and that's what I got. Great service and it was a good price. The process was fast too.

Great atmosphere, super attentive staff and Hakishi is a great artist who listens to what his clients wants! Definitely recommend this shop!

AWESOME. Had so many questions and they were so patient with me. The staff is so nice! I'm SO HAPPY with my tattoo. Ricky Sanchez is the man!!!!! read more

Went in for a tattoo only to be overpriced by a tattooer named Juan and my bf asked to see his work and the artist got offended I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he still proceeded to only try to tattoo some of it then caught his attitude when I asked where the rest of the drawing is then at checkout tried to say it was going to be 180 when we agreed to 150. Wouldn't come back. read more
