I received my first tattoo from Artist, Shane Vick. This was a long time decision coming and Shane did the most amazing job. He was so kind, understanding and totally respectful. It was a very pleasant experience and he was great with follow-up care advice and very responsive to any concerns. I highly recommend him.

Good location that stays busy. Quality work although high pricing. Being downtown & connected to Oliver Peck is probably another explanation of the high prices.

Me and my girlfriend were zapped here. I had no idea what I wanted just an idea. They were able to draw up something badass quick and I was in and out. Great experience.

Highly over priced for the quality of work. They don’t even have client’s sign waivers consistently.

I live about 6 hours away and told them that on the website, which has a question to the artist section. But I think they don't check it, so why put it there? Lol, needless to say, no answer a week later.

Getting a tattoo from a quality artist isn't very easy anymore. I reached out to Elm Street and in no time at all, Jeb responded. All I can say is, Jeb is a tremendous tattoo artist! Got a 5 hour tattoo, had a beer, a shot, then he drove me back to hotel since i was having trouble contacting my hotel. Great artist, but more importantly, awesome freaking person. He is my tattoo guy.

I had only heard of the shop due to my girlfriend at the time, as well as Oliver Peck's fame from Ink Master. When entering in the shop, it was a mad house (this was a Saturday morning/afternoon) and eventually we got one of their "receptionists" to take our information. We were told that the artists' books were on the counter so to find a style we liked and we could pick that artist. My girlfriend used their gumball machine to randomize what she got and I found an artist that worked in some realism (I'm not a huge fan of American Traditional). Once I gave an idea of what I wanted (two D20 dice, one with critical success and one with critical failure, positioned on my hands), the "receptionist" ran over to talk to a few artists and returned to tell me that the artist might not be in, but there's another artist who could help me. The artist came over this time to talk to me, starting with, "What you want can't be done." I insisted that it could and there were tons of references (which I provided for him). He then responded with, "Okay well no one here can or will do that." I said that was fine and if he could keep my idea but do it in his style, or the style of the shop, that would be fine. After a while the receptionist came over and told me due to the location it would be $200-300 per hand, which may have been the most obscene pricing I've ever heard. But I agreed since my girlfriend was excited to be there. During the tattoo, the artist was nice enough, but everything he said contained a tone of arrogance and ego. Once he was completed, he took the photo and moved on.
I was waiting for my girlfriend to finish and she asked me to grab her phone from her bag. The artist she was working with told her he wasn't excited since she pulled something he had already tattooed several times. After grabbing her phone, we were discussing what we were going to do and he asked me to leave the area because I was disrupting him (apparently he can't tattoo while people talk to his

We went to get an estimate on a tattoo that was to be designed by an artist. The atmosphere was very pleasant and David answered a few questions my daughter had. Mr. Oliver Peck wasn't in this day and we hope to meet him next time.

Visited Dallas and walked in to get a quick tattoo done at the world famous Elm Street and was not disappointed. Everyone at the shop is super professional and welcoming. Thinking of making another trip just for Friday the 13th.
I had a phenomenal experience at this shop. I booked an appointment with Oliver Peck and the whole process could not have gone better.
Oliver's assistant Barbarino was prompt, polite, and great to deal with. He did a great job of communicating and making sure I knew what to expect when I got there.
When I got to the shop, Oliver greeted me right away and jumped right into discussing what I wanted done. I had brought some references and we went through them together and I felt like he immediately knew what I was after. He spent some time drawing and came back with a design that was everything I was looking for and more.
The application of the tattoo was absolutely perfect as far as I'm concerned. Oliver did a killer job. Color choice and application were perfect. Watching the piece come to life on my arm was really a treat.
I was really impressed by Oliver's professionalism and friendly demeanor. I'm the type of person that's always nervous going in to get tattooed because I am worried there will be some disconnect between what I want and the artist's vision for the piece, but Oliver immediately put me at ease. I felt like I could trust him completely, and that trust paid off in spades.
I couldn't be happier and can't recommend Oliver Peck or Elm Street Tattoo enough.
Thank you, Oliver!
Great atmosphere! Super cool sh*t on the walls to look at, everyone there is really rock and roll!

Went for my first tattoo here and it was the best experience I could’ve imagined. Jordan Baxter understood the ask and did so really well and fast. With the paperwork, payment and conversation, I was in and out in less than thirty minutes.
