    This is my 2 of 3 sessions at 1upink and i am impressed and enjoy myself more each session. Xxclusive Aka Jug is my artist and as you can see from the pics she is talented. All the artist are super chill in the shop and just enjoy talking trash and discussing different pop culture, anime, marvel, comics really anything. Look forward to my next session.

    Don't know why the shop only has 3 stars. Any real anime fan would appreciate how it looks and the work that comes from the artist in there. I remember coming across the page in Virginia while in the navy and I told myself once I moved back to Texas I'd give em a shot. Didn't disappoint. My artist was @niquoink. I setup an appointment with him. He was on time waiting for me to arrive. Very professional and was not heavy handed. I wanted to get one of my favorite anime characters niquo brought my vision to light. I'll be going back this spring for sure.

    I have followed pnut for a while on insta and decided to reach out for a tattoo, and I'm very glad I did! I had the best experience here and don't want to go anywhere else anymore. The whole shop is like a happy family full of jokes and good energy. The time I spent here (which was a lot shorter than I expected) was great. He got the tattoo done so fast, it didn't take 15 hours all while showing his technique to others. Thanks for the great tat pnut and thanks 1up for being so chill.

    First of all the place is definitely a vibe. Everyone was so chilled and inviting. I felt like I been going to this place for years how everyone interacted with me and this was my first time (lol). I absolutely love my tattoo and my artist The Mad Tatter is simply amazing. I showed her my vision and she went way above. My new piece has definitely became my favorite tattoo ever.

    Scheduled an appt with Jug and I can honestly say , she is one of the best artist in Dallas. Hands down, from the customer service to the art, loved every experience of it and can't wait to book with her again.

    Several years ago I had Billyjack do an improvement/cover-up to a tattoo I had got from a shop in…read moreNew Orleans. Then last week I went in for a new one. Neither of the designs were complicated or intricate...just some 3-5 inch ones. If you've seen Billyjack's Instagram page you know the man can do some pretty fabulous, complicated pieces so my stuff wasn't exactly anything that was automatically going to get his artistic juices flowing. And that's what I love about Billyjack. Even on when you give him a fairly simple concept, he'll make sure he makes it more and special. The most important thing he does in my opinion though is that he acts like a partner or a consultant, not just an artist who's going to execute the design you bring him. My experience down in New Orleans with the other shop was one where it was kind of like "whatever you want, man". I didn't need that, I needed a strong guiding hand and that's what I got with Billyjack. I threw out some ideas and he pretty much said what would and wouldn't work and then expanded on what would. Oh, and he's a blast to talk with. How many tattoos have you had where you and the artist have covered: dogs, kids (OK, those first 2 are pretty easy), rent relief policies during COVID and Roth IRA's. And laughing the whole time.

    When I walked into the tattoo parlor, it looked clean, professional, and well put together. Based…read moreon the appearance alone, I felt confident I would receive good service. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience at all. The artist who worked on me seemed inexperienced, and the process didn't match what I was told. What should have taken around 30 minutes was discussed as taking several hours, which already felt off. In the end, I was charged $200 for a cover-up that I'm extremely unhappy with--especially since it's on my face. To make matters worse, the artist didn't follow through on what was promised. He said he would work on two tattoos but only did one, and even then, it wasn't what I asked for. I specifically wanted a design resembling stitches, but instead I was left with a large black feather on my head that I deeply regret. The environment also felt unprofessional. The staff came across as dismissive and made me feel judged for the tattoo ideas I wanted, which added to an already negative experience. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, frustrated, and unhappy with both the service and the final result. I would not recommend this shop. Are there any tattoo shops in the area willing to help fix a bad face tattoo once it heals? I'm worried it might scar, and I'm trying to figure out my options. If anyone has experience with cover-ups or thinks removal would be a better route, please let me know. I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations--this is something I'm stressing about and want to fix the right way. I'm not trying to bash the entire shop, because there seemed to be some talented artists there. However, I do want to warn others about my experience with one specific artist. The artist I worked with--whose name may be Ivan or Isaac--came across as confident, but in my opinion did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or experience I expected. For example, when I asked about certain techniques like blood shading, he didn't seem to understand what I was referring to. That raised concerns for me about his training and experience. Again, this does not reflect everyone at the shop, but based on my experience, I would personally not recommend working with that particular artist.

Not only did you give me what I wanted and more today, you also turned my day into not so great, to amazing. You are an incredible artist and a genuine and kind person and you will be my first recommendation to anyone that asks.... Don't ever change, you are going places. I have had plenty and several different tattoo experiences and yours has by far been the best. From the moment I walked in with the way your friend greeted me at the front desk, (shoot, from the moment I called the store) you two made me feel important and cared about. The fact that you have a personal sheet to fill out about personality to make each experience for each Individual unique and important is just something I haven't ever experienced before and something I won't ever forget. Never have I ever reached out to an artist to give them this much of an opinion about them or my experience but you truly made a stranger feel like family in a matter of a couple of hours and that's something that deserves to be pointed out. Thank you again for giving me such an incredible work of art that I get to wear the rest of my life and that you for being such an incredible person that made me feel seen and cared about. I can't wait to finish the rest of my sleeve with you
