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.

I've been coming here since I moved to Dallas in 2021 (I used to go to their NW Austin location…read morewhen I lived there) and I have ALWAYS had wonderful experiences here. Annie and Jade have been my go to piercers for years. Prior to getting any piercings, they require you to watch piercing healing and care videos so you know what you're getting into. I love Pineapple (the owner) and his commitment to being thorough and honest when it comes to healing. They are so patient and knowledgeable when it comes to jewlery selection, the piercing itself and healing. They are APP members here--that mixed with their calming demeanor really helps with calming nerves. I swear by this shop and their piercers -- also free parking in the lot and after care packages!

I walked in under the assumption I'd probably get a consultation and have to reschedule. What actually happened was this smooth straight to the point process you could only expect from well prepared professionals in their craft. From the jewelry selection process to the execution of the piercing even paying was the last thing on my mind (no pressure) I really got a chance to soak it all in. This is the place to get your piercing fix satisfied! $200

Always a good experience there. Blair is an excellent piercer and always professional.read more

Several years ago I had Billyjack do an improvement/cover-up to a tattoo I had got from a shop in…read moreNew Orleans. Then last week I went in for a new one. Neither of the designs were complicated or intricate...just some 3-5 inch ones. If you've seen Billyjack's Instagram page you know the man can do some pretty fabulous, complicated pieces so my stuff wasn't exactly anything that was automatically going to get his artistic juices flowing. And that's what I love about Billyjack. Even on when you give him a fairly simple concept, he'll make sure he makes it more and special. The most important thing he does in my opinion though is that he acts like a partner or a consultant, not just an artist who's going to execute the design you bring him. My experience down in New Orleans with the other shop was one where it was kind of like "whatever you want, man". I didn't need that, I needed a strong guiding hand and that's what I got with Billyjack. I threw out some ideas and he pretty much said what would and wouldn't work and then expanded on what would. Oh, and he's a blast to talk with. How many tattoos have you had where you and the artist have covered: dogs, kids (OK, those first 2 are pretty easy), rent relief policies during COVID and Roth IRA's. And laughing the whole time.

When I walked into the tattoo parlor, it looked clean, professional, and well put together. Based…read moreon the appearance alone, I felt confident I would receive good service. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience at all. The artist who worked on me seemed inexperienced, and the process didn't match what I was told. What should have taken around 30 minutes was discussed as taking several hours, which already felt off. In the end, I was charged $200 for a cover-up that I'm extremely unhappy with--especially since it's on my face. To make matters worse, the artist didn't follow through on what was promised. He said he would work on two tattoos but only did one, and even then, it wasn't what I asked for. I specifically wanted a design resembling stitches, but instead I was left with a large black feather on my head that I deeply regret. The environment also felt unprofessional. The staff came across as dismissive and made me feel judged for the tattoo ideas I wanted, which added to an already negative experience. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and unhappy with both the service and the final result. I would not recommend this shop. Are there any tattoo shops in the area willing to help fix a bad face tattoo once it heals? I'm worried it might scar, and I'm trying to figure out my options. If anyone has experience with cover-ups or thinks removal would be a better route, please let me know. I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations--this is something I'm stressing about and want to fix the right way. I'm not trying to bash the entire shop, because there seemed to be some talented artists there. However, I do want to warn others about my experience with one specific artist. The artist I worked with--whose name may be Ivan or Isaac--came across as confident, but in my opinion did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or experience I expected. For example, when I asked about certain techniques like blood shading, he didn't seem to understand what I was referring to. That raised concerns for me about his training and experience. Again, this does not reflect everyone at the shop, but based on my experience, I would personally not recommend working with that particular artist.

The only star I am knocking was the lack of inventory. For the price you pay, wish there were more of a variety. Seemed like almost all were sold out behind the case.

It smelled weird as well like a sweaty locker room. It was busy so the lobby area was stuffy. We went to sit down and there was something that looked like a blood stain on the worn white couch. My thought is yes, this is the lobby but made me question what the piercing rooms would look like - would they be clean. We came into inquire - no service done. Also, they provided only two options - 10mm silver or gold studs The case looked almost empty and looks like others commented on this as well. The staff was nice however I do not think we will be back to have a service done.

This is the second tattoo that Joe has done on my arm. His professionalism, patience and attention to detail made this experience worth every penny I spent. He was also very kind to offer me breaks in between the tattooing. While I declined them, I did appreciate that he was willing to take a pause for me.
