Was able to do a walk-in during the middle of the week and they got to work almost immediately. Very clean work space. I love that they have specials running all the time; this is what enticed me to stop by for my first tattoo. Tuesdays they do $20 simple tattoos and $10 piercings. If you follow their instagram they post their specials there a lot. The staff was friendly and helped put my nerves at ease since I was a little nervous with this being my first. I told them what I wanted and they sketched out something quick and simple for me. Kelly did my tattoo, and it only took a little bit of time to finish since I didn't get anything crazy. (Texas outline w/ Home Sweet Home written inside) He was super nice! Even got my tattoo featured in a Buzzfeed article, 28 beautiful Texas tattoos you definitely wont regret (: Thinking about adding some extra detail to it now that I know I can handle it and when I do I will be coming back here. read more

My husband and I came in to get our names tattooed on each other. Not everyone is able to have nice crispy lines when tattooing names. Let's just say Nick did any amazing job. He is professional, knowledgeable, listened and delivered!!! Definitely recommend. read more

I've gotten several tattoos here and have been nothing less than 100% impressed. Tonight is another piercing! read more

I walked in to get my eyebrows pierced for my birthday, their process was very simple. The lobby is spacious with beautiful traditional flash art. Nick was amazing! He was very precise and professional, even pulling out a measuring tool to ensure that the spacing was accurate on the piercing I chose. Nick talked me through the entire process and made it very easy. Very simple, straightforward, and fairly priced. read more

This is such a great shop. Everyone is so welcoming & informative. The shop is very clean! I've gotten tattoos and piercings from here and have been taken well care of each time! read more

Came in for a cartilage and nose piercing. Priscilla at the front desk was so nice. Sam the piercer has a great sense of humor and made the process for my two friends who have never been pierced a great experience. Would recommend this place again and again. Thank you! read more

I brought in a photo and I wanted only outlines of the photo of my father and I, and they had us seated within a few minutes, filling out some paperwork and my father and I got these tattoos, and they turned out perfect, exactly how we wanted. The only thing I would say is this was a little painful for me based on the spot I chose lol! read more

Came to this tattoo shop to get my daughters belly button pierced after a recommendation from her friend. The shop was very clean and the wait was very short. I was surprised the cost was so reasonable the service was as well. We had a excellent experience with Sam and As a mom with a young daughter I can't recommend him enough. He is friendly, outgoing and professional! He took his time explain things, as far as the piercing, placement and before and after care. He was funny and over all just nice guy that cares and loves what he is doing, in a world full of rude people and bad costumer service, this was amazing to experience the opposite. This is by far the best experience we have had at a tattoo shop and I would recommend Sam to anyone! read more

I got my industrial pierced here by Sam and it was pierced wrong. Months later I'm left with scar tissue on both sides from where the piecing was placed incorrectly. read more

Please do not get pierced here for your nipples. All other piercings I've gotten here have been good and healed very well but the nipples is NOT something you should go in for. I got both of my nipples pierced and Sam left them crooked and pierced my areola. I had to remove them and allow them to heal before I went somewhere else and got them pierced correctly. I went to have him see them and said it was the swelling which they were but you could clearly see the areola pierced. I went to 2 other piercers to get a second opinion and they immediately said it indeed pierced the areola and I would have to remove them if I wanted them to heal. If you're gonna get them done do it somewhere else like shaman modifications in Dallas. They were more expensive but they'll save you the pain of piercing them twice! read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. I asked for 5 small tattoos. Did not like the demeanor or attitude of the tattoo artist (tattoo artist with the long beard). Min. Amount we were told was $60, however he said "I don't do tattoos under 100$". Okay, fine no problem, still proceeded to tell him what I wanted and show photos of the tattoos. The last tattoo he asked me what font I wanted, for the number. I said it didn't matter. He than laughed with his copilot secretary and said "well it does matter". Here's the problem, you know I want 5 small dainty tattoos (the size of a dime) you're telling me "I doNt UsuAlLy dO TatToOs fOr uNdeR $100". So therefore you tell me what font I can get. You my sir just missed TWO SALES because of your attitude. I see why this shop had 4.1 stars. Just because you are a tattoo shop doesn't mean you can be a shitty person or have poor customer service. The reviews on google makes so much sense. I hope you guys can do better in the future. read more

I have came here previously with family and co-workers the front desk people and piercers are nice and friendly I've felt super comfortable and know where to go to have my body pierced and am looking forward to having a tattoo done by them too ! #gettingmybellypiercedtoday #septumdone read more

Always super professional and the whole area is always clean. Every watt member I come across is friendly and informative. Highly recommend.

I got two piercings on Wednesday for the $20 special, my nose and my helix. I had Sam as my piercer and he couldn't have been better. Made me feel very comfortable and he's clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. You can't beat the price and experience here. I would absolutely recommend Arlington ink for piercings and will be coming back!! read more

I went in yesterday to get a tattoo done by Nick Ochoa and the main thing i can say is that i am truly satisfied with the end results. Nick really put a lot of detail on this piece. The line work and shading is amazing. Cant wait for it to heal. Most definitely will be coming back to Arlington Ink for more. read more

Great and super fast service, super affordable compared to other shops in Arlington as well. Got a nose piercing and felt super comfortable with my piercer Nick, he was very professional and did a great job ensuring I was happy with it. Highly recommend this shop!!! read more

Please don't come here for piercing! There are multiple bad reviews on their piercings on google but we chose to ignore them and now have to go to the hospital. They gave the wrong size earring (it was digging into the ear), it got badly infected, and it was done unprofessionally (as told to us by TWO other tattoo shops). Plus they don't do refunds so it's best to go spend your money on professionals read more

This was my second time coming here. First time was with a friend. As she was explaining what tattoo she wanted, the guy at the front desk couldn't hear her and said, "huh??" So I kindly repeated it with her, only for the guy to go "she can tell me herself." Rude af. Whatever. I tried to go again today to get a tattoo with my bf. They say all over their social media that they take walk-ins, so my bf and I showed up right when they opened, for the first come first serve concept. We were the first ones in, only for them to say, "we don't accept walk-ins. But you can go to our artists' instagrams and find out when they're free." None of them seemed sorry. Everyone seemed grumpy. Idk bad vibes. The only good thing about this place is their pool table. Lol read more

Staff is all super cool. The facility is top of the line. All super high quality artist, even the apprentice busts out bangers! Daniel did my tattoo, we laughed almost the whole time! AnD followed up with me pretty consistently. All staff is readily available on social media to answer questions or concerns! It's probably the cleanest non medical facillity I have ever been in. And I work in the medical field! 11/10 read more

I went to get a sugar skull today by Camille. Left a very mad customer. First off why wouldn't you do the outline of the skull first? Just makes sense right? After an hour an half of tattooing her hand is tired takes 10 min break!! After another 30 min she brings some other artist in they both start tatting my calf. This is beyond me, she makes jokes like now you can tell everyone you've been DP'd. After 2.5 hours I said please just get the outline done and we can quit for the day. She says ok then tell the other artist to do the small circles around the eyes. I was like no don't do the circles I want the outline done and that's it. She said that's part of it. I said no I can get that done at a later date or maybe by a different artist. This pissed her off and she quit. they charge $150 an hour and take their time. She is watching Orange Is The New Black while tattooing my leg. Repeating stuff they say and laughing. I left with an unfinished tattoo she charged me $471 today and remember I put a $150 deposit down. This is just my experience my wife went to her last week and our appointment was at 2, she said they open at 1 but she start at 2 cool. We got there 1:45 she didn't start until 3:05 tatted 2 hrs got to point of color and wanted to take an hour dinner break!! Save yourself the trouble and do not go here for tattoos. They have a few artists that look like they do great work but in the end it isn't worth it. Also the beard and hair were supposed to match mine which is reddish orange read more

Got my cartilage ears pierced here and couple months later, started growing a huge bump. Went to the chosen one tattoo shop and found that the piercing was placed wrong. The wrong piercing was placed too. Thankfully the piercer at the chosen one fixed this place's mistake. read more

I got a tattoo here about a month and a half ago. Customer service was good but the tattoo I got did not come out good. I got a tribal fish hook, I have quite of bit of work so I know it was not an error on my part about not taking care of it during the healing process. The tattoo came out patchy, and not complete filled in. It looks rushed and not professionally done. I had to end out going to another shop to get it redone because I lost confidence in Arlington Tattoo. I am sure they have great artist that do great work but just wanted to share my experience. That's why I am giving one star, customer service does count. But in reality is that getting a good tattoo is why we are all really there. read more

My sister and I just had conch, septum, and daith done here by Sam and it was honestly the best experience. He made us feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable about everything. We both actually went to get our navels done yesterday at a different place and totally wish we just waited. I've had my ears and cartilage done here before and those were great experiences as well. Will definitely be sticking to this place for my future piercing/tattoo needs! read more

Do not go here I went to get a belly piercing and the guy did it way to high up no where near my belly button I went to the chosen one ink and he told me that he always has to fix Arlington ink work they do bad work do not go unless you wanna have a bad piercing and to top it all off they didn't even use a belly button piercing they used an eyebrow piercing this place need to be shut down ASAP I recommend the chosen one ink they actually care about there clients and not just about making quick money they take there time and know what they're doing read more

Arlington Ink will always be my go to for piercings! good prices and amazing people working here.

Sam did my two nostril piercings today and instantly made me feel welcome upon entering. I love that they let you use cashapp as a payment option cause a lot of places are cash only. He even gave me tips on how to properly take care of my piercings this time as I was misled before. Definitely will be back read more

Great experience, they got me in & out .. piercer was very quick & helpful! Oh & very affordable as well!

I went in for a consult on a huge piece I wanted to get on my arm of my dog and some flowers. As soon as I said I wanted color, the guy I talk to cut me off and said he doesn't do color and said Janie did. I talked to Janie about what I wanted, she said she could do it for me. She quoted $150/hour and a non-refundable deposit was due to hold the appointment time. She said to add her on Instagram and to send pictures of my dog and she would draw the tattoo up and schedule me for an appointment. So when I was messaging her she requested that I bring my dog up to the shop so she could get better pictures because my pictures weren't good enough. I bring him up there and while I'm there I see the message that she won't make it to the shop in time, that she was running an hour behind schedule. I was pretty pissed off... so I left. She said to send her clearer pictures and she can work off those. I did that and she asked what time I was available to schedule and I let her know any Saturday she has open. I was ready to put the deposit down and pay for my tattoo in one session, but she never messaged me back and I've seen her post a new tattoo almost everyday since. It's been about a month, so I'm just going to find a new place that wants my business and doesn't cancel on me last minute. Horrible customer service overall! read more

Do NOT come here for a belly button piercing! I didn't believe it would happen to me and I got it done despite stories I've heard about their belly piercings here. They pierce with surgical steel not titanium... my piercing migrated and developed a rash due to poor jewelry quality. I went to a doctor and had it removed just to find out that the jewelry was so cheap it was turning green (Sam assured me surgical steel was just as good as titanium to pierce with. wrong!) Now I have a scar for life and if I could go back I would've definitely spent way more than $20 for a belly piercing somewhere else. It's $20 for a reason, and that reason is poor quality jewelry. They get their jewelry from painful pleasures, which i've gathered from other piercers and research that the jewelry is low quality. My ears healed fine and I brought my friends in to pierce their ears and they healed fine as well, but I won't come back. read more

Don't waste your time with their $20 specials....I drove all the way to Arlington for them to tell me the Roman Numerals "MCXI" was not a simple tattoo. They wanted to charge $60 for those 4 letters in very small font. Apparently their special only includes 1 letter or 1 symbol. Very misleading. Just wait on Da Kandy Shop to have a special. Their specials are actual specials. This is a scam for free promo and to waste your time. read more

Ask for Alex, he's the best! Everyone else is good too. You can tell they have done this for years. This is my go to tattoo shop and I recommend this place to all my friends who are looking for a place. They are always clean and professional. It's a very laid back environment and they put you at ease before the needle even hits your skin. Alex made sure my tattoo placement was up to par and made sure I was happy with it before he even got started. These people are funny and are very good at what they do. Give them a try! read more

Came in to get 3 piercings on the special. Piercing was very quick, short wait time, thorough about piercing information, and friendly. Clean shop, great music, convenient location, & the special just made it all the better. Make sure you ask for Nick! Will be back for more! read more

This place was very clean and had a lot of places to accommodate many guests. The staff was nice and the service was good. My friends and I (4 of us) all came in to get different tattoos; Alex did all 4 of us one after another. He let us all be in the room with each other as well. He was very precise, helpful, and so patient with us! He did a great job! All of us were super pleased with our experience. This was my first tattoo, and I will definitely be coming back! read more
