2nd time coming here.
First time the piercer couldn’t even get the jewelry through my septum. Second time, ingot a tattoo. A 2” hammer above my thumb.. (I left knowing I was gonna have to get this one covered up.)
the 1 star review is for allowing a client to walk out of the shop KNOWING this was a bad tattoo.. like😬 that’s big yikes y’all.
(Ps, I did want a hammer tattoo on my hand. I just want it to look like a normal functioning hammer, not like 6 year old drew it from memory.)

This place is a great place to get some permanent artwork. I drive all the way here from Tulsa, Ok. The artists are friendly and helpful and there is a variety of techniques. I think anybody could find what they want here. There is some serious talent here!

Dom pierced my nipples. And let me tell you, best experience ever. I was kinda scared because I had previously gotten then done and they were painful, plus added scar tissue made me paranoid. Dom legit calmed me down. The first nipple was painless, the second had a bit of a kick, but nothing unbearable. Even after I blacked out after seeing my friend get her nostril pierce, Dom was there for me. She got me water and ensured I was okay before I left. Couldn't help but laugh. The experience alone was worth the price. #NipTrip

The painful memory of a Claire’s gun jamming an earring through a non existing hole, stayed with me for years!
Doing my research, and after building up the courage, I finally now have earrings!!! I also learned that you can barely feel what just happened... when done the right way!
Feeling more feminine now! Thank you Artistic Encounter✨

Spent $100 to have both my nipples pierced with a 16G barbell that was way too short because the piercer Andrew said my nipples were pretty small, which honestly shouldn’t be an indication of the size gauge. I also realized the barbells were to small the day after I got them pierced, but couldn’t go back because they were closed and I had to return back to Nac 150 miles away the next morning. It’s now 2 weeks later and after 2 recommendations from local piercers in East Texas to take them out and not let them heal with a 16G, I know I won’t be coming back. Thanks for doing me wrong for an outrageous price, plus the $25 tip I spent on the whack job.

Love AE tattoo shop. Everyone there is badass and they all the artists have such badass talents in their own unique ways. All the locations are badass and you always feel welcomed in all the shops. Billy Jack and family have built an empire of awesome talented established and just starting out artists with their own styles. Nothing but the best and seriously one of the best Tattoo shops around. I highly recommend AE Tattoo and all the locations in the metroplex. A+++

If you are looking for a chill/clean and friendly place to get a tattoo, Artistic Encounter is a must! Fenris Screwtape is an awesome artist and Billy Jack will make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
