Lamar Street Tattoo Club

I had a great experience tonight! I found out about Josh online when I knew I was going to be in Dallas for the weekend and was about to come as a walk-in. Everyone in the shop was friendly and we had good conversation while Josh was working on my design and while he was tattooing me. Josh did a great job on my tattoo, so come see him for yours!

By far the best tattoo experience I've ever had. This was not my first tattoo, but it was my first tattoo here and with Josh. I wish that I had got all of my tattoos here! The atmosphere is great- clean and welcoming while still having a tattoo parlor vibe. Josh is professional yet warm and entertaining. The work was quick yet excellently done. I will be recommending this to all of my friends looking to get tattoos!

Came in today to rehab a fairly large 4 year old tattoo that I was never very happy with and Josh did a great job fixing it up for me! I'm much happier with the way it looks now and he worked so quickly, which was great because who wants to be in that chair forever? Quality was definitely not replaced with speed. Hilarious guy, kept me distracted as I was laying through the pain- although if you prefer silence, I'm sure he wouldn't mind either way! Awesome artist, cool shop, great experience.

I had looked for a week to find a tattoo shop that was clean, professional, and had really good work and this place was it! The moment we walked in everyone was so nice and right away Josh had told me his ideas for what would work, I had an idea but he completely made my family coats of arms into something more meaningful and beautiful! Well he was working he was very friendly and talked! This was only my second tattoo but he made it feel like a whole different experience, I couldn't image what my beautiful tattoo would be if I didn't go see Josh. Everything about the shop is friendly and clean!

First of all, hands down the BEST customer service ever! Setting up the appointment online at the J. Hall & Co. website and paying the deposit was extremely easy. Josh and I communicated via email before the appointment so I was already feeling more at ease. This was my first tattoo and I was having it done on my birthday. The minute my husband and I walked in to the shop we felt at ease. The atmosphere was really relaxed and it felt like we had known Josh forever.

I brought in a custom calligraphy design for the tattoo and Josh and I sat on the couch and talked about it for a while. I was very nervous and worried about the pain. He calmed my nerves and reassured me I would be fine. We talked about the placement of the tattoo and he had great insight. You could tell he truly wanted this to be done right and in the perfect place where it would look great.

Once the work began, it did hurt, but he completed the work so quickly! Before we got started he even offered me some guided meditation tips to calm me down! In a matter of minutes, the tattoo was done and I absolutely LOVED it! The placement was perfect, the work was as painless as possible (considering ;)), and the tattoo is EXACTLY what I wanted. So far, the aftercare has been easy and I have to believe if you follow his instructions your tattoo will heal up beautifully and look great for a long time.

Josh was amazing and has an energetic personality. He runs his shop professionally, there's a great atmosphere there, wonderful customer service and it is worth every dime you spend to have your tattoo done right by J. Hall & Co.

Phenomenal! Highly, highly recommend. I came to this shop on Christmas Eve with my daughter, who did some very thorough and impressive research. First off, the venue is excellent - felt at home immediately and everyone felt like an old friend right off the bat. She had her small custom tattoo done by proprietor Josh Hall (in record time, literally 30 seconds) and it was flawless. I had Pappy McCall do a small custom piece on my wrist as well, which was also fantastic, perfect work. This was far and away the best tattoo experience I've ever had (and I've had many) and I will never, ever take any friend or family (or myself) anywhere else. I can't say enough about the experience - and it WAS an experience, not merely just, "Oh, I got a tattoo here." A life-altering event, top notch - this shop goes to 11. A+. Thank you, Pappy McCall and Josh Hall and everyone else at Gentleman Tattooers.

Walked in with a friend on Sunday to get a small tattoo (my first, her second). Chose the shop because another friend had gotten a much larger and more intricate piece done there and it looks fantastic. Both artists there were working with other clients but agreed to see us when finished. I would recommend making an appointment because it just seems more polite in retrospect but they were very accommodating and kind with us. Josh asked what we had in mind and then basically told us we ought to rethink a number of things- placement, size, etc. I appreciated having an honest conversation about it- his expertise is clear, genuine, and common sense. He drew something up for us quickly, made a small change and got us in the chair. He completely puts you at ease- has great stories and sense of humor. When it was my friend's turn, he was really awesome in talking the nerves away with her. I love what we both walked out the door with. We had a great time at the shop and will be back. Josh is wicked awesome.
