I came here today as a walk-in for a tattoo I've wanted for a while (also my first tattoo). Ricky helped out from placement to advice what I should and shouldn't do with my tattoo. And I couldn't be more satisfied (especially since I've seen pictures online of other tattoo artist mess up thin lines). The staff here is also super friendly, joking and comforting which makes getting a tattoo such a fun experience from beginning to end! The staff and Ricky are also super cautious about keeping everything clean from their own workstations to the restrooms and the sitting/waiting area. I can't wait to come back here for my next tattoo!!

Tatum was able to take me in as a walk in. The shop has great staff, great artist and great vibe.

Had the largest flash of Friday the 13th tattoos I've ever seen!!! Great place to go for that, prices range from $20-$50 w/o tip. Very nice people. It's worth the long wait!

I gotta say not too shabby. the artwork that i chosed was good.. alot of black shading and close to the wrist it was kinda discomforting but nevertheless it was good Tattoo Therapy. Juan did the work and love it! I would recommend him for work. awesome bro. Hope you see this!

We've been coming to Bold Stroke for about a year now and I'm so happy with the work we've had done. Blanca (@blnnk on instagram) not only has beautiful work, but always takes the extra steps to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. I've had really dainty pieces and lettering done by her and my boyfriend has had some more bold/traditional styles, she can really do everything. My year old tattoos look just as clean as the day I got them. The environment is so welcoming, it always feels like you're hanging out with friends when you're there. I always recommend bold stroke to my friends and anyone who's looking to get some quality work done.

Walked in on a Monday to get a tattoo to remember my trip to Dallas and Ricky was amazing. He got me in within 20 minutes of arrival and gave me exactly what I wanted. The communication was great, the shop has a great vibe, and the price was great. Ricky knows what he's doing and it shows, a must visit if you're looking for a tattoo in Dallas.

Popped in here Friday the 13th for an impromptu flash tattoo with a friend. I really liked the vibe here and Sarah was super cool so I booked a couple more with her. She's really passionate about what she does and makes you feel super comfy. Also has impressive freehand skills, and will draw stuff up with you to make sure it's what you like. I'll be back for more. Y'all got crisp clean lines and good vibes.

A couple girlfriends and I went to get some piercings and unfortunately we got butchered. I personally have had 20 piercings before and this cartilage piercing somehow was the most painful of all of them. Sadly Juan was not gentle and I am very disappointed. A day later my piercing has been streaming blood and I'm concerned.

Really good piercer ! Got my septum pierced and their were nice and very helpful definitely recommend. BUT Shit tattoo artist, don't ask for ninja. He doesn't work at the shop but tattooed on Friday the 13 (he called himself one of the owners 'second in charge') n did a horrendous job on my flash tattoo. he was throwing shade at the other tattoo artist for taking their time . Took it as a lesson to see their past work before sitting in the chair. Don't ask for Ninja , he's a creep and doesn't care about the work only for the money.

Came here to get matching-ish tattoos with my best friend and Hakishi happened to do mines. & let me tell ya, he was super duper gentle and professional and sweet. His lines were extra crispy and he even gave me some balm to take home! 100000/10 recommend him. I think him being so gentle made the healing process less of a bitch compared to normal. Go check this dude out!

Had an appointment with the great Gabriella! I ran across her instagram page, and used the number she put in her bio to set appointment. She replied fast and was so sweet!!!!! We booked for Saturday, 4:30. I needed to push the time so we agreed on 5:30, which was an easy process!! I arrived and was in awe at the shop set up. Sooooooo tight it's located close to bishop arts, very easy to park as well. Gabriella was working on tattoo but was able to stop and greet me. Soon after we got started. I loveeee my tattoo and she made the environment calm. She's cool. Definitely going back!!!

Today me and my best friend came in to get matching tattoos from Blanca and our experience could not have gone better! She was very nice and talked to us through the entire thing. If we decide to get more tattoos we will definitely be going back to her! I would recommend her a million times! Her work was amazing! And her lines were clean, which we loved!

I wanted my conch pierced and I searched for a couple days before I chose this place. They almost have 700 reviews on Google and a 4.9 rating. That's not easy to do for any business with that many reviews. This was conveniently close to where I live (about 10 minutes). The average cost of a conch piercing ranges from $45-76 depending on where you go. There was another well known piercing shop in Dallas I called first and they told me $76 PER ear and I decided I would shop around before deciding. This past Wednesday I called Bold Stroke and Alizè told me "We have a Wednesday special, conch piercings are $20 each!" I was excited and a bit leery at the same time, so I asked her how experienced was the piercer and she said he had over 20 years experience. They only do walk ins for this deal so I brought my happy ass down there and got both sides pierced. They use surgical steel and they show you the earrings first and you can decide if you'd like gold instead (which I believe costs more but I didn't ask about the price because as soon as he said the gold piercing had a thicker gauge I declined lol). He sterilized the area with a wipe and then pierced me with his needle. The first one on my left ear wasn't very painful maybe a 5/10. But my right ear was an 8/10. He said it was because I didn't exhale when he did my right ear, I'm sure he was right. But Juan made this experience a very good one for me. I'll be back again for sure! (I'll post photos later after I change the piercing) read more

I went to get my septum pierced on Wednesday September 11, and I'm honestly so disappointed with the service. The guy seemed cool and all, but I noticed the piercing was out of place. The jewelry was not even centered. I privately messaged them on Instagram the next day and explained to them my problem. They left me on read just to reply back a few hours later... they told me to go back, and I declined because I didn't want to take the risk again. The day I went in, I had to wait 2 hours to get the piercing, so I will not go back. I understand it can get busy but 2.5 hours seems a little too much when only 2 or 3 people were ahead of me. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but I don't think the situation was handled professionally. read more

Awesome place. I've now gotten 3 out of my 7 tattoos from Bold Strokes, each one from a different artist, and I'm never disappointed. My sister has also gotten some of her tattoos here as well as a nose piercing. I've been tattooed by Hakishi, Gabriella, and Luis. All 3 were super friendly and professional, and all 3 gave me exactly what I had in mind for my tattoos. Luis also does piercings, and I had a really bad infection from a cartilage piercing I'd gotten a couple years ago. The earring was literally stuck inside the swollen part of my cartilage (yum!) and he got it out pain-free (and also for free). They are also always having really great deals, too (you can find the deals on their Instagram and Facebook pages). Examples being $40 2x2 tattoos, $10 piercings, etc. They charge a very small fee for paying by CC, so I'd either bring cash or if you really don't care, they accept card! (I think it was either like $5 or 5%, but I really can't remember...lol.) If you're looking to get a new tat/piercing in the future, definitely check this place out. read more

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.

ChatGPT gave me a straight answer right away (details, colors, ink, senior artist vs new, etc. were all variables for the estimate it gave me). EASY. Told them I got the rate estimate and sent the numbers. They didn't even bother confirming or even replying back. Actions are stronger than the pretty words you use in your website. Pass.

While I would love to gatekeep Joe's skills because I don't want to have to fight for availability,…read moreI think having more people walk around on this Earth with his art is more important. This is the second tattoo that Joe has done on my arm. His professionalism, patience and attention to detail made this experience worth every penny I spent. He was also very kind to offer me breaks in between the tattooing. While I declined them, I did appreciate that he was willing to take a pause for me. Once I save up some money again, I will return to see Joe! So what are you waiting for, I'm healing from my tattoo so now is the time to book a tattoo appointment before I need Joe again!!! Eat in Bishop Arts, have your little shopping spree but don't forget to see Joe!!!!!!!

I should have just went with my gut and walked out when I saw the tattooist. He looked jacked up on something and did a really shitty job. I asked if I could have the number 60 instead of 13. I've done simple things like this with other Friday the 13th tattoos with no problem. Those tattoo artist were very nice about it. But like a dumbass I went ahead and did the tattoo at Elm St. Right after getting it I immediately saw it was not a good tattoo. Blurred lines right from the beginning. He went outside the line. It's crooked where he put it. And it's gotten crappier looking through the years. Will NEVER Go Back There!

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

Sarah is an incredible tattoo artist!! I am so grateful that she gave me my first 2 tattoos! She makes the whole process relaxing and stress free. She talked to me pretty much the whole time which really helped me keep my mind off of my nerves. Could not recommend someone more and cannot wait to go back and get many more tattoos from Sarah! read more
