I came in for a nose piercing. Tearanie did my piercing. She was extremely friendly and efficient. After she finished, she told me what to buy for after care. I was in and out in less than five minutes. I've wanted a nose piercing for a while now, so I was over-the-moon thrilled once she finished. It looks super cute and so far, the pain has been rather minimal (knock on wood). The shop manager, Taylor, was super friendly and patient. I had so many questions and even came back in five minutes later to ask more questions about getting tattoos. Overall, I had a great experience. The shop is so, so clean and the vibes are so nice. I'll definitely be back for a tattoo! read more

Did an awful job on a navel piercing? Still waiting on a refund. Jewelry selection is awful and the knowledge of the piercer was even less. Update! My refund has been denied. DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

Tearanie was AMAZING!! She made me feel so comfortable, and told me everything she was doing!

Came here on a Saturday evening to get my nose re-pierced. There are no appointments, you have to wait outside until the front desk person lets you in (kudos to social distancing). The inside is clean and smells good lol. My piercer was Tearanie; she was super friendly and answered all of my questions & concerns. My nose hole has been closed for about ten years, so naturally I needed to be reminded of certain things. She also mentioned that if I want to change my nose ring she would do so complimentary. Overall my experience was great and my piercing healed very nicely. read more

My boyfriend came in to get ear piercings with Tearanie (who was so fast and did an awesome job!), along with myself and the 3 others getting fit in for some amazing linework tattoos from Dani (who was very clean, precise, quick, and gave us exactly what we requested). I also had the wonderful opportunity to work with Char to get a tattoo I've dreamed about for a long time! Not only was this tattoo very meaningful and dear to my heart being in honor of my late grandparents, but it's absolutely perfect. Char exceeded my expectations and captured the request so perfectly with her art. Myself, my family, and my friends cannot get over how realistic and beautiful the tattoo is. Prior to this incredible tattoo, she provided a very thorough explanation of what to expect during our consult. The team worked with me on scheduling and we were able to get it on the books! Once we made it to the session, Char provided me with info on what to expect with my first big tattoo--and then went through aftercare with me very thoroughly. Overall we had super friendly, informative, speedy, and wonderful experiences with Gold Dust. There wasn't a single person in the shop that wasn't welcoming and helpful! I cannot recommend Gold Dust enough because everyone is extremely kind and knowledgeable. The artists are insanely skilled and so welcoming; I'm so happy with the experiences I've had, and grateful for the chance to have been tattooed by such talented individuals! read more

I got over being a weenie and got my first tattoo! Babs is amazing! She's really nice and super gentle. Not going to lie I was pretty anxious but she really helped me calm down. She takes her time and doesn't rush. I got a rib tattoo and I don't think I have high pain tolerance AT ALL, and for being one of the "worst spots" it really wasnt that bad. I had a lot of fun and Ill recommend this place to anyone looking for a tattoo/piercing in Dallas. I am a big fan of this business. read more

I love this place that did my bellybutton so fast and quick and little pain and they tell you when they are putting the needle in you. Love the vibe the bathroom is so cute. Tearanie did mine and it was great I recommend her everytime. read more

Just a random stop for more piercings. I got my daith and 2 lobe piercings. The staff was friendly, inside was really nice and I got in and got out even with 3 piercings ahead of me. My piercer was a doll! I completely forgot her name but she was awesome! Also love her pink hair, I miss mine! Can't wait for my ears to heal so I can change out my jewelry! I'll come back for that! She offers free changes. read more

I got my angel bites pierced (2 upper lip vertical labrets) last year in October, Tearanie did a good job affirming me and is a nice woman. However, the placement of the piercing is terrible. When she first pierced them and gave me the mirror, i quickly noticed one was crooked and she had to "fix it" by making a new hole in my lip (ouch). It did not make a difference. To me, the piercings healed up pretty nicely and do not hurt at all or bother me, it is just the obvious crooked appearance. Once she had "fixed" the problem (she did not), she told me i could always come back to re-pierce it. But i will not be doing that because the price is outrageous+tip when she left it the way she did. When i opened my eyes when she stuck the needle in, she was shaking so bad. Is that normal for a piercer with 10+ years experience and a medical assistant? The vibe of the place was nice, but these men kept laughing and staring at my mom?? Weird. Don't let this stop you from coming here, maybe it is just the difficulty of the piercing, however, i wish it would've had a better result especially as a minor and my first facial piercing. I get bullied for this, lol. read more

Good vibe and knowledgeable about tattoos even though I went for piercings and they were quick with the piercing

I went in today to get a piercing, and Tearanie took the best care of me. She made me so comfortable and not nervous. Tearanie's experience and personality was the reason for me to have one of the best times. Will be coming back for more :)) read more

A couple of friends and I came here on a weekend to get some new piercings. We had no issues walking in (there was maybe a 30 min wait for the piercer), and we just decided to spend our waiting time at the bar across the street. Tearanie, the piercer, was really friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. She made sure that I was happy with the placement of my tragus piercing before starting the process. The parlor was very clean, and they used several tools--including a clamp--to make the process more accurate and less painful. The three of us were done within 10 minutes! Also reasonably priced ( I think I paid around $50-60? for my tragus piercing). Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a no-hassle piercing! read more

I'm super late with my review but Tearanie did amazing with my n*pple piercings! I got them done Feb. 2021 on a Friday! Everyone says that they typically hurt, but mine didn't at all. I got them both done same day! Definitely sore after but it was truly the perfect experience and I have a LOW tolerance for pain. Extremely low. Like the bar is in hell low Very sweet and welcoming! Most of all, she was really reassuring and it was quick and painless! She was also extremely informative and made sure she had the right positioning for the piercings. I appreciated that! Before I knew it, I was done! Looking forward to getting my last few ear piercings done by her so my look is complete! Thanks Tearanie! read more

I got my second and third lobe piercings here and the service was amazing! Staff was extremely friendly and well experienced. I would recommend this place to anyone! Tearanie is kind, considerate, and an excellent piercer. The process was quick and painless! Thankful for a good experience read more

Moses was great! We got to hang out together for about 7 hours during my shoulder piece. He took the image that was in my head "that I failed miserably at describing" and made it a reality. He took this super awful sketch (see below), did his research, and turned it into the most breathtaking tattoo I've ever seen (also below). His laid back style, snacks, and entertainment made the session fly by in the best experience possibly. Thank you so much for your talent, patience, and the good conversation. read more

I got my first tattoo & a piercing at Gold Dust. I had a great experience on both occasions. The shops location was ideal & the atmosphere was welcoming. Babs did a really great job capturing the uniqueness of my dogs ears. I was a nervous wreck & she made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I got my doubles (not sure what the correct terminology is) pierced on a $30 Thursday. Tearanie was swift with the needle so there was hardly any pain. Super happy with the results & would highly recommend. read more

Tearanie took such good care of me! I got 4 piercings in one day-she made it such a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I was obviously very nervous, but she reassured me and gave me time between piercings to collect myself. She showered me with words of encouragement and I very much appreciated the patience she took with me. It may be one of the more expensive tattoo/piercing places in town but it was 100% worth it for the experience. Only regret is not finding her sooner! read more

Aster did an amazing job making my tattoo dream come true! Very professional easy experience.

The shop itself is nice and clean and super inviting and all the staff we encountered were very friendly but because they have a minimum of $200 I didn't end up getting a tattoo here. Had I been wanting to get a bigger piece I would not have minded that but I was only looking to get a 2" x 2" tattoo. ‍‍ read more

They were amazing- called on a Saturday to see if they had availability. They not only treated us with extreme customer service but we were seen within 10 minutes. The artist was incredible and would highly rate going back. Top Notch! read more

I was pierced only. Based on that, it seems like this place deserves every bit of its perfect review average. I thought i would stop at the mall and get pierced by a boutique piercing-only place. That was a mistake. They had about a million dollars of inventory but no silver colored bar to give me a basic piercing. I thought a tattoo place would be too busy or worried about the other customers more than me, but that wasn't the case at all. everyone there was genuinely pleasant and the piercing operation itself was both highly professional and accurate while also being incredibly fairly priced. absolutely no nickel and diming and no tacked-on costs. I've never ended a review like this before, but look no further. read more

I've had several piercings done here and I haven't been disappointed! The location is clean and the staff is friendly. I came here most recently with some friends on a Saturday afternoon to get some piercings. There was a little bit of a wait but there are plenty of surrounding places to grab a drink while you wait. Tearanie is the piercer and she is professional and precise. Ive previously had issues with the jewelry (I think there was nickel in it) that they used to pierce giving me a rash but I had no issues this time. She also informed us that we can always return and she would change our jewelry free of charge. I was very impressed and have recommended this place to several friends looking to get piercings! read more

Where do I begin? I've known Char for several years now, and her impeccable aesthetic, attention to detail and ample dedication to her craft make her the perfect person to run a shop and create living art! I also feel her background as a fine visual artist and painter only add to her immense understanding of color, shading, etc. She is currently working on an epic sleeve of comedians for my husband and the portraiture is amazing so far. She is worth every penny and then some. The staff at Gold Dust is extremely friendly and professional, and they each excel at their personal styles. I've been pierced 3 times so far by Tearanie and couldn't be happier with the outcomes. All my piercings healed beautifully with no issues. If you want quality and to have your ideas translated into beautiful body art, you've found the perfect place. read more

The shop is cute and super clean. the staff was really nice. I had my daith pierced and unfortunately, my earring fell out the next day. I had another piercer look at it and they said it was done too shallow and it should have been a barbell earring instead of a hoop. It was $60 and pretty painful. Maybe it was a fluke thing but I was pretty disappointed. My daughter got a flat piercing and it hs been fine . read more

This place has the absolute best customer service! I went there for the first time in January with my friends to get my nose pierced. I was greeted immediately upon walking in and it didn't take long before I met Tyranny (sorry if I misspelled!) to pierce my nose. She was super sweet and helped calm me down once my nerves hit. I'm not kidding when I say I was a lot to handle. I was excited and then almost chickened out haha. Tyranny was calm and so sweet through the whole thing. She gave me great advice about how to heel my piercing and I must say it turned out great! My friend also got a little tattoo while we were there. All of the artists there were so friendly and funny. I seriously loved the energy! I went back last week so Tyranny could change out my piercing for the first time. It was quick, easy and most importantly FREE! I highly recommend this place for a piercing or tattoo. Good and positive energy is super important and this place definitely has the. Thank you Tyranny!! read more

Gold Dust Tattoos & Fine Art - After my nose piercing! - Tattoo Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great experience here! I came in for a consultation without an artist preference and Zach matched me with Isaac after hearing my tattoo idea. I paid the $80 deposit and went home and finally did some research on the artists at the shop... I thought that I liked Zach's artistic style a bit more than Isaac's and I called in to ask if I could get Zach to do my tattoo instead, which they were able to do. I'm self-aware that it was pretty terrible of me to switch artists like that, and I definitely should've done my research first, but Isaac was super cool with it. I made sure there were no hard feelings (and now I obviously know to do my research on artists before going into the shop). Anyways - Zach was incredibly helpful and was so spot-on with my tattoo idea. I wanted to explain this anecdote because I was so ridiculously embarrassed to switch artists like I did, but both Isaac and Zach were great about it and I want to come back here for my next tattoo. read more

I remember I called on a Thursday in November and I got in for a consultation the very next day. Consultation went great but then the tattoo artist told me she couldn't get me in until January because she was so far booked out. I was bummed and told her how I had wanted to get this tattoo sooner because I had lost someone who was very dear to me. After hearing my story the tattoo artist instantly found a way to squeeze me in the very next night and stayed way late for me too. I love this place and recommend it to everyone!!! Good people, amazing service. read more
