    Chris is a beast! Went in just looking to talk about getting this piece and he was able to fit me in same day. He has decades of tattoo experience and it really shows because this guy really took my idea and made it happen in one session. 10/10 recommend him and the shop. The vibes are super relaxing and everyone there is very friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

    Nic was absolutely amazing, i had searched for a long time to find a tattoo that spoke to me and included some family heritage. I was recommended to this shop from family and it paid off in a big way. In a 9 hour sitting we he laid down a Celtic cross wrapped in a dragon. Nic is an absolute beast and professional. I highly recommend Nic and the shop for all of your tattoo needs.

    Today was my third visit to Lone Star, and just like the previous two times I've been, it was a fantastic experience. Went as a walk in, and was immediately fit in. I know I got lucky because this shop has a ton of loyal clientele and they're always busy when I've been in. That speaks volumes to the atmosphere and talent in this shop. I got to sit for Josefhine for the second time. She is by far one of the best tattoo artists that I've had the pleasure of working with. I'm never disappointed with my experiences with her, and always walk out the door with something truly beautiful. She turns what could be a painful situation into something relaxing, and is exceptionally thorough in the work that she does. This has been (and will continue to be) my favorite shop in DFW. If you want some gorgeous body art, go see Josefhine. She's excellent.

    What a wonderful shop! Really friendly people got us in quickly and did the artwork very promptly. Very pleased! Special shout-out to Andrea, the excellent tattoo artist. We really like her work!

    Cassie is a rock star. She is amazing at what she does and got excited about my tattoos. It's always good when an artist is excited about the tattoos you are getting done. The shop was clean and the people were friendly and understanding. There was an accidental double booking which resulted in me needing to reschedule, but they took $100 off the tattoos for the inconvenience. I highly recommend getting your work done here.

    My Husband Got me a tattoo for my Birthday....we came in early Saturday as a walk in and were able to get right in. Loved the place! the staff was helpful and friendly. Kat was my artist I..I had a small script done along my collarbone...I came out Perfect!! I absolutely love it! I will definitely be coming back to her in the near future.

    Josefine is the bomb! The shop is very clean & has great energy. I gave Josefine a picture of a tattoo I thought I wanted. As she was sketching it, I changed my mind & picked another design. In the past, I've had tattooers who would get frustrated with little things but she was so sweet & down to earth. The process was easy and comfortable. Thank you guys!

    UPDATED 11/30 I got my belly button pierced 8/30 by Matt and he was really nice. Only thing is that after my piercing started healing a bit i noticed it was a little tilted and just crooked. When he showed me the dots before piercing it the placement looked fine, when he finished and i looked at the piercing and it did look a just a bit crooked and i didn't think much of it because it was very swollen, red and bleeding quite a lot so i kept cleaning it the rest of the day. It hasn't fully healed but it's definitely crooked and not centered and just doesn't look cute.

    My tattoo!

    The custom tattoo @whip.witch gave me was absolutely perfect and exactly what I could have ever wanted for the start of my tattooing adventure. It still looks amazing after 6 months and hasn't faded at all, she did an amazing job. Her line work is flawless and I am so grateful for her time and patience tattooing me! Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a custom tattoo, or any kind of tattoo, really. Thank you!

    Thin line work is really difficult but Rob made it look easy. He did an amazing job of combining two zodiac pieces into one and tying them into an existing piece on my wrist. His beautiful crisp lines and perfect spacing delivered on the look and feel I wanted. Thank you so much for a piece that is very meaningful to me.

Jimmy specializes in freehand tattoos and Japanese style art. From small to large, my tattoos from him provide so much detail. I highly recommend this studio and artist, Jimmy.

He got confrontational with me. He talked me into going thru with the tattoo. He messed up twice and didn't even listen to what I was wanting creating conflict. I eventually had to go back a week later so he could fix the lines on my tattoo after fading from him doing it wrong and not the way I wanted. His attitude was . After that he told me I had to find someone else to do the rest of the tattoo. For that reason I'm only giving him a one star review. For the price I paid his vibe was off the whole time. Wish I would have never gone thru with it and gone to the other artist I had found.

    Such an awesome experience getting mother-daughter double high lobe piercings with Tex and Olive…read more They were professional and we love the way the piercings look. Love even more that this neighborhood business is female owned and operated!!

    1/5 -- Terrible experience, especially for something I had planned for years…read more I genuinely hate leaving reviews like this, but my experience with this shop was unacceptable. I came in on my birthday for a Haku tattoo that I had been planning and looking forward to for years. I was originally quoted $900. The artist, Abi, convinced me to make the tattoo significantly larger than I had originally wanted. We then waited about an hour and a half for her to get started and work on the design. Once we were finally supposed to begin tattooing, her machine was dead, so we had to sit there for roughly another hour waiting for it to charge. But the worst part happened after the tattoo had already started. When Abi was almost completely finished with the outline, the shop owner walked over and asked, "So what's the plan here?" I was then told that because of the size of the tattoo -- the size I had been convinced to get -- and because they now considered it a "half sleeve," the $900 was only going to cover the outline. If I actually wanted the tattoo finished with color, I was told it would be another $500. So the price effectively went from the $900 I had been quoted to $1,400 after the tattoo was already outlined on my body. At that point, what exactly was I supposed to do? Walk out with an unfinished outline covering my arm? It was my birthday, I had planned this tattoo for years, and I was already committed once the tattoo was on my skin. The way the additional charge was presented felt hostile and incredibly money-driven. After paying all of that and finally finishing, I wasn't even given what I would consider adequate aftercare wrapping. No second skin was offered. My tattoo was covered with Saran Wrap and tape, which started falling apart almost immediately after I left the shop. To make matters worse, the finished design did not come close to the reference image I had provided. When I later brought up the things I was unhappy with, Abi told me that I only had three months to receive a free touch-up because that was supposedly the shop policy. That three-month restriction was never explained to me at my appointment. What I was told was that touch-ups were free. Neither my partner nor I remember being told there was any three-month deadline. When I pointed that out and tried to address my concerns, Abi blocked me on Instagram. That was apparently the resolution after I spent $1,400 on a tattoo I had dreamed about for years. I can deal with delays. I can deal with mistakes. What I can't accept is being quoted one price, being convinced to increase the size of the tattoo, having the price substantially increased after the tattoo was already on my body, and then being blocked when I raised concerns about the finished work and a touch-up policy that was never clearly communicated to me. This should have been an awesome birthday memory. Instead, the entire experience left me feeling taken advantage of. avoid this shop

I was pretty nervous about getting my ears pierced again, after probably 30 years since the last time I had them pierced. I stopped wearing earrings many, many years ago, but decided I was ready to wear them again. Anyway... I was greeted warmly. Some numbing was put on my lobes while we discussed details. Then... deep breath.... it was done and I hardly felt anything! The whole experience was so much better than I imagined it would be. It felt like I made a new friend and I was assured I could come back if I had any problems with the piercing. That was over a month ago and my ears are doing well. I'm eager to put in some new earrings, but healing takes time. I might even get another piercing done! It was such a great experience. Nothing like what I remember having done with the piercing guns as a child. I would recommend Karma Ink to anyone. Side note: I was a little confused about the location while trying to find it. The piercing is done at one location, a tiny little shop at 190 and Jupiter. The ink is done at another location, further up Jupiter (I believe). I would not hesitate to visit either of these locations again. Highly recommend.
