Saavi S.

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.

Lil Friday the 13th tattoo $20

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!

L.A Tattoo... Firme!!

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.

Cartilage piercing

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!

Took about 20-25 mins.

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!!!

Matching birth flower tattoos

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!

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
