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.

It's a cool tattoo shop with awesome tattoo artists, cool atmosphere and good vibes. I had this skull done as a walk in, loved it, all the while they played the complete Kill'em All album. Did not get to see Oliver but all the staff was cool.

Friendly atmosphere with helpful staff. Bryan Black is an awesome artist, very thorough and professional. I was 100% satisfied with the end result of my tattoo. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality ink.

Very eclectic! Exactly what you would expect from a world famous Deep Ellum tattoo parlor. Tons of originality. Had a wonderful consultation with Oliver Peck and look forward to getting my sleeve done by him! The front is boarded up and it is by appointment only due to coronavirus but they are in business. It actually makes it feel more inclusive since there is a lower amount of foot traffic!

I've gotten 3 tattoos now from David Nash, this dude is awesome. I've never had an artists work heal as fast and as well as his work. He's a fantastic artist and pays close attention to detail. Been to him here and at Heart in Hand, if you need some good ink work this is your guy. Not cheap but fair, good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good. You won't be disappointed at this shop with Nash! Thanks again and I'll be back for sure. Also for gods sake tip your artist!

6 of us came in for our spouses to get sibling tattoos as walk ins. We were greated when we arrived, everything was very clean, had really no wait, no problem getting the tattoos drawn up & all 3 turned out really good. The 2 artists my husband & his sister had were friendly the one their brother got not so much he just seemed annoyed to be there which was unfortunate but we would definitely come back again. I'm a huge ink master/Oliver Peck fan it was exciting for me to visit the shop. The arist who did my husbands tattoo even hooked us up with some stickers for our rzr for our Instagram.

The atmosphere of the shop is really friendly, clean, has nice work done in it, and they have similar procedures to other shops so I totally understood that I needed to make an appointment for the work I needed done. However when I opted for a significantly smaller hand tat (to be fair, same-day), an artist tried to hit me with a $600 quote. I’ve never in my life seen a hand tattoo cost more than $400 for really good work and most artists would’ve charged $250-$300 for what I wanted (excluding the tip). I’m a decently tatted person. I paid for half a sleeve for $600 and it’s very good work and 3 times as much skin to cover. Artists should have the right to adjust their prices accordingly but I did respectfully decline. Good pieces do make it out of here but be advised it may be very pricey.
For reference, it was a rose of $100 bills and I have small -medium sized hands.

I went in last night and from start to finish it was a great experience. My artist was Carl and he was genuinely nice as well as an amazing artist. He took some creative license with what I was wanting and I could not be happier with the result! We will definitely be returning in the future because of the great artists who work here and the great vibe and culture of this establishment! I cannot thank you enough :)

I came in for my first tattoo and was nervous, however staff was really awesome and calm about it reassuring me. I had been to a tattoo shop prior but didn’t get anything because the guy was rude and told me he wasn’t making any profit off of me ( which I thought was really strange thing to say) but at elm street tattoo the tone was very different and much appreciated. It was quick and it came out great. I love it!

Came here with my friends they were interested in getting a small tattoo. Upon entering we were greeted by i believe, David, very nice guy and actually the one who ended up doing one of my friend’s tattoos. However, the girl who was greeting people, one of the receptionists i Think, was very rude and unwelcoming. My friend asked her will the tattoo hurt and she rudely replied “all tattoos hurt” i let that one slide. She proceeded to have a passive aggressive attitude for no reason every time someone entered. A man walked in and asked how much a tattoo would be and she replied “idk you haven’t told me the font or size of what u want so how would i know.” I was on FaceTime on the bench waiting on my friends my phone wasn’t even loud and she says over the counter “can u take that off speaker or go outside.” I really almost gave her a taste of her own medicine and checked her on her disgusting attitude but i decided to not give her misery company. Go home if you don’t wanna be there. If you want business and happy clients you should probably have someone else at the front and keep her away from customer service. Won’t ever come here again or refer anyone because of that experience. David was great tho as i stated.
