Artistic Encounter

DO NOT COME HERE. Idk how I can have 3 tattoos from here all be messed up. I got initials and a lighting bolt on my first visit that were a MESS. They said they would make it right and those artists were fired when I finally returned to give them another shot. The next artist (JD I think) did a pretty good job with the cover up and filling of my side tattoo, until he accidentally tattooed me when not paying attention and pretended like it didn’t happen by not saying anything when he clearly noticed. Next, he used some out of place shading to cover a part he missed when covering up my old rose with a slightly new designed one… I’ll let the pics speak for themselves. Not a good perspective when the artist says “at least it’s a step up from what was there before,” which was an outline. How do you mess up these simple things?? Also, the artist was burping very loudly the entire 4 hours.

I choose Rick Navarro to do my first tattoo and I am beyond happy and in love with it!! I have a scar that I wanted covered and Rick was patient with me and designed roses that covered it completely!! If anyone wants realism in a tattoo, Rick is the guy for you!!!

I love Billy jack I have been coming to ae for over 15 years every Artist is absolutely amazing and does mind-blowing work best tattoo shop in Dallas hands down!

We had just finished dinner nearby and decided to walk to Deep Ellum for a drink. I wore heels (mistake #1 when walking in deep ellum), didn't see a dip on the sidewalk, rolled my ankle and fell. When I struggled to stand up again I noticed my knee was bleeding. My friends dragged me into this place (I was too embarrassed) and asked if we can purchase a bandaid. The front desk girl immediately rushed into the bathroom to grab some paper towels for me (and even took the time to wet one of them), and a tattoo artist offered to (which I, at the verge of tears, accepted) clean up my knee with some rubbing alcohol, dressed it with some fancy tegaderm, and gave me some wound care tips.

I never knew my faith in humanity would be restored in a tattoo parlor in Deep Ellum of all places, but here I am. I sincerely appreciate the staff here for making the world a better place.

I would probably rate this a 5 had I'd not been price gouged for a nose piercing. $80. He didn't tell me the price until after we were finished. Totally unprofessional. Prices should be upfront. I asked the front associate how much it would be before I went back and I didn't get a response. The guy who did my piercing was more focused on what to get his wife and himself something to eat.

thanks for the piercings but damnnnn the prices are crazy here. i called and asked about the prices before going and not once did they mention that jewelry wasn’t included. i wasn’t informed about the price until after i was already pierced. and the total came to $200 for a conch and anti helix piercing and the 2 titanium jewelry which turned my ear green and irritated me.

Dominique Ransom is extremely talented. She has excellent customer service skills and is a great Artist she is working on a Dragon and Koi sleeve for me. Can't wait to see the finished product. Plus she is my Daughter.

Jeremy did a great job on my tat. Clean lines, amazing shading, and very thorough on my thicker lines. Its beautiful, it's already gotten so many compliments, and I love it

We took our teenage son to get his ears pierced. Micah was super cool and did a fine job! Made our kid feel relaxed and chill. The whole place was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you're taking a minor, be sure to download their consent form and have it signed and notarized before you go. Bring cash. Tip generously!

Came here for sporadic tattoos and piercings for my bachelorette party and the friend who wanted a tattoo was initially told they would try to squeeze her in and then the owner came over and told her that he could do what she wanted himself. The rest of us wanted piercings and the guy who did them joked with us the entire time and made it such a pleasant experience. We don’t live in the Dallas area but if we were here we wouldn’t hesitate to come back!
