Artistic Encounter

I got a tat yesterday in memory of my brother who passed away. Rick absolutely created a masterpiece! The guy is passionate about his work. Couldn't ask for a better experience. I highly recommend these guys.

I’ve gotten a few tattoos here and I will be back for more. The atmosphere is great and the artists are amazing at what they do. 🤘🏼

Run. If you want a piercing and you care about yourself … you can find a better establishment.
1.) the staff is just overall not personable…
2.) The piercer Micah will charge you an unethical amount, and tell you the price after.
- my sister asked before getting piecing, “how much a nose piercing and two lobe piercings would cost” and Micah said “I am not one to argue Nickel’s and Dimes” and after he pierced her he charged her $320 dollars.
3.) every piercing I got was a botch job.
4.) my nipple is destroyed…
5.) forward helix was pierced with a hoop … and now destroyed
6.) Just Run

Micah pierced my friends nipple and ear and charged him $200 and both were pierced incorrectly. The ear piercing fell out 3 times in a span of 2 months and he was charged every time he came back to get it re-pierced. The nipple piercing he got was pierced into his areola and looks deformed. Both areas have been frequently infected and the entire experience has been a nightmare. The place is bad and unethical! Do not recommend!

Absolutely amazing! The owner himself helped me out with my cartilage piercing that got yanked out by a chair, it was as painless as possible, and he was super nice the whole time. Will definitely be going back to get it repierced and for my next tattoo!

Are we talking about the Deep Ellum art festival? I enjoyed walking down main street and seeing all the art. Maybe ditch the overpriced carnival food and bring in some quality food trucks. Better known in California as a roach coach.

I very recently and unexpectedly lost my sweet Chug, Rocco and it's been an absolutely brutal time. I wanted to do something special to always have him close to me. I have one tattoo from years ago, but not visible. I wanted a simple, but beautiful "R" on the inside of my left ankle. My amazing friend researched when I told her what I wanted and she said THIS is the guy to see--Billy Jack! I looked up his IG and the artwork was so intricate and detailed--awesome work. I reached out and explained my situation and that I wanted something simple, but I wanted the most stunning "R" he didn't flinch, he said they'd take care of me and we scheduled. I've been an absolute mess this week, apparently while I thought my dog was obsessed with me because he was always 2 inches from me and had his eye on me making sure I'm okay when there is zero threat at all--the obsession was mutual because I really miss him. My incredibly supportive friend who also loves tattoos, drove me to the Deep Ellum location (we can't wait for the Plano one to open!!!!) The ladies at the front greeted us immediately and Billy Jack and I chatted about the size, location of my tattoo and then we went back to get started and honestly, it was so fun talking to him and his wife. For a second he said he could knock this out in 5 minutes and my friend said she'd time him and I was like, no no--let's take it easy--luckily they were kidding...I think :) His wife is an awesome cosmetic tattoo artist and their banter is hysterical. It really felt like a group of friends just talking and then, I was done! Now I have the most beautiful reminder of my sweet Rocco with me always. I love my new tattoo and if I ever have anyone looking for ink or cosmetic tattooing, I will absolutely send their way! Gorgeous family and just good people! Thank you for the experience and the laughs--I needed it <3

Not very helpful… today the young lady seems to not want to assist… I asked the prices if a piercing, if I could use my own stud to get a break on the piercing for $60.00 per ear… reconsidered getting the piercing because she told me it still would be $60 so I asked to see the item the female told me I had to wait to see the stud 30 minute because the person in the back was on break… F you!!!!! Rude azz !!!!! I don’t recommend anyone for this place… period

Got my tattoo by Quinn. She did exactly what I asked. She was very gentle and made sure I knew the process since it was my 1st tattoo. It didn't hurt & healing great. I'll be back.

Zach is a Killer Artist!!

(Not sure why the pictures look like they do but I promise the work is amazing!!)

I came home on emergency leave this last Sunday as my grandfather was in the hospital. Being in the army, I was lucky enough to be able to come home so soon after I got notified of his status Saturday night. He ended up passing away Monday morning and it hit me extremely hard as my grandmother had just past last February.

I had a tattoo in mind for a while to honor both my grandfather and grandmother, but didn’t know when or where to get it at. I decided this week was the week. I drove around to a few local shops around allen, McKinney, and Plano and everyone was booked. My friend recommended me to this shop and I decided to call.

Luckily Zach was available and I hit him up on Instagram. He gave me his number and I sent him the idea of what I wanted.

He told me he could get me in same day, which was amazing and I can’t thank him enough. Although being new to the shop, I didn’t let that detail stray me away, and boy am I glad I didn’t. I have Zach free will to do what he did best and create me a design that would honor my grandparents.

I let him know all I cared about being in the design was two L ‘s (my grandparents first initials) and a tree and he killed it. Way more than I could’ve ever asked for.

I would recommend Zach to ANYONE who love black and grey designs as well as line work. He did an amazing job with both. I sat in the chair for a couple hours just talking to him about life, things I enjoyed, how much this tattoo meant etc. I didn’t have a single moment where I was bored or uninterested.

Thank you again Zach for your amazing work, and I will for sure be back when I come back into town.

(First picture is what I had in mind, second is the first design he came up with, and the rest are the actual tattoo!)
