My friends and I went to the shop for nipple piercings. I am telling you from my honesty Experiences !!! IT HURTS LIKE HELL. Of course !!!! When you got that thick needle poking through your skin and sensitive area. It was not a fun feeling. However, LUCY, the most prettiest girl, with the soft angel voice, calmed my scared catty mentality . She is so Gentle that it was hurt but not crazy and Torturing hurt. Lucy made it so quick that I could not even have time to cry. I was like, "I am dramatically waiting for my tears to come out like water fountain". NOPE !!! Her skill is phenomenal. The price was not bad at all, $94, after tax and basic jewelry included, for both nipple piercing. HELL YEAH !!! Lucy, if you are reading this, I hope you are proud of your skill. You nailed my nipples well. Thank you for fantastic job. read more

Got a really great tattoo today from David Nash. The whole experience - from being greeted when I walked in until I paid & left - was top notch. I brought my own design & had an idea on colors but David brought it to life. I felt like everything was clean & safe. Would definitely come back here again & get another piece from David. read more

I had a pinup done by Carl and am absolutely in love with it! Prior to this I didn't have any serious work done so I was nervous reaching out to someone so experienced. Carl was absolutely amazing to work with on this. He was super easy to communicate and didn't have the aggressive stereotyped personality I was expecting. He worked with me via email giving feedback on general designs until we arrived to what I wanted. During this process I could truly feel the passion he has behind his work which was my biggest concern when finding an artist. The piece meant a lot to me and I wanted someone special to design and tattoo it. Carl was absolutely that person. The day of my appointment I had second guesses on where to place the tattoo d/t work and medical reasons. Carl picked up on it right away. Instead of getting aggravated he spent extra time trying to find the best spot. I'm so glad he took the time to do this because I absolutely couldn't imagine my pinup anywhere else. They sent me home with soap and lotion which was super appreciated as everything I have is scented and wouldn't have worked. While I was there the shop was discussing putting in a care instructions card for reminders (hope they do this because that would be great!) The tattoo is beyond what I imagined. It captures my personality and everything I wanted it to represent. I highly, highly recommend even for those tattoo newbies out there like me . read more

Heart in Hand Gallery - Lucy pierced my conch, this two days old. Feels great and looks great! - Tattoo Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I worked with Carl. He was absolutely amazing. I am so happy with my tattoo. He was very patient with me in deciding what I liked and when I needed a break. I have a full back piece that is still in progress, but I did the first portion in three consecutive days and he has so patient with me. I was very tired the third day and we got a lot done. I am so unbelievable happy with the outcome. I hav what it for about a month now and everyone I show loves it, they are amazed when I say that it is a classic Japanese traditional tattoo. read more

Super easy to make appointments online but I happened to be in Deep Ellum and walked in for a piercing with guest piercer Jenny Joe. The ladies doing amazing curated ear piercings have quite the gallery on Instagram. And Jenny did a great trinity piercing. She was friendly, professional and made it as painless as possible. Great and thorough aftercare sheet. The shop has unique merch in front so stop in and buy stuff even if you're not getting pierced or tattooed in the discreet/ private rooms behind the shop. Microblading and piercings don't really lend themselves to being in an open tattoo shop space so this location is serving a slightly different crowd than Elm Street tattoo shop. read more

I would NOT RECOMMENDED a piercing from this place. The piercers only care about money and getting that "perfect" Instagram photo. Just in the last 6 months since I've gotten pierced in several places, it's been a nightmare. I have had to either pay more money to get the correct post size or take out the jewelry altogether and get it re-pierced (even more money). This is how careless the piercer is: 1) Hoops for fresh piercings. Any experienced piercer would know that using a hoop for fresh pierces causes the healing process to be delayed and susceptible to issues. 2) Pierced at angle to accommodate a hoop that is too large that SHE purchased. 3) Pierced with too small of posts that SHE purchased. Any experienced piercer would know do not pierce with heal post length. You should always use longer posts to accommodate for any swelling. I tried to explain the issues and concerns to the store manager and he could care less and allows this malpractice to continue at this location. I wish I would have done my research. I should have known when I was waiting to get pierced that a client came in and complained about too small of jewelry for a recent piercing and she was charged again for a longer piece. Stay far way as this establishment as they're not equipped to take care of their customers. DO NOT GET PIERCED with Afton at Ylang either or any piercer at this location. Do your research! Afton is no longer there but she's the one who did my piercings. She think she knows everything but every other piercer has said it was the more incorrect piercings they've ever seen. read more

I came in with the full hope and expectation of just buying a new piecing... that's it. A little backstory: I got my nose pierced at another shop just about a year ago, and I always wanted a dainty gold hoop. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I ordered the perfect gold hoop off Etsy (that's a story for a different time) and installed it on my own. After 2 weeks of wear and daily cleaning, I wake today with a puss filled sac near my piercing site. In my mind the only logical difference was the hoop, so I rush to my original shop for a new ring... nothing. Tried another shop, which then recommended Heart in Hand. I get here and I'm initially heartbroken because I'm realizing my theory of the Etsy jewelry being the problem is kind of confirmed. I also learn from Jeremiah that my site likely hasn't healed and the history of straight vs hoop rings and the healing process. At this point I'm in total awe and appreciation of this helpful info! Jeremiah then gives me the option of buying new jewelry (which I was prepared to do) but not without seeing my original jewelry, because SIZE MATTERS! Jeremiah really cares! Thankfully, and I do mean THANKFULLY, I had my original jewelry with me, and Jeremiah proceeds to reinstall it for me! To top it off, they also sent me home with some great aftercare info. They've got a new loyal customer! Thanks Jeremiah for being so caring and awesome! read more

Ian was my artist, and did an amazing job! He took two completely different pictures and combined them into one, and the design was exactly what I wanted. Ian was very professional throughout the whole process and made me very comfortable. read more

I first went into Elm St. tattoo looking for a small tattoo, but the place was packed and they don't have a private spot in the shop, for tattooing private areas. I was bummed, seeing as I always get a tattoo when I travel. I asked where I could buy merchandise instead and they sent me to Heart in Hand, just a block or so up the street. When I arrived, I had no idea this was also a tattoo shop and i was greeted by Matt Van Cura, who told me he tattoos and had a private room and could tattoo what I wanted right away. I was so happy! Matt did an awesome job, i had a great experience, he was quick and lite handed. I really appreciated his vibe. I also bought some merchandise, and can't wait to come back. read more

Y'all best go get any hole you need put in your body put there by the queen: Lucy. She puts extra love and care into making your piercing perfect and does it with a smile on her face. I've had my nose pierced 4 times now, and this is by far my favorite experience. And it's so cute! Thanks again, Lucccccyyyyyyyy. read more

When I moved here from Houston last year I did a ton of research & social media stalking to find my new local go to piercer. I fell in love with Ursula's work on Instagram and sent her a message. She responded quickly & told me to stop by whenever I wanted. Once I met her in person I knew I will never go to anyone else. She is so fun & knowledgeable. She makes everything a breeze. She has done my septum, daith & 2 tragus piercings within the past year. When one was irritated she had me change soap & gave me a no pull piercing disk & a little salt to soak my piercing in & it healed perfectly. She gives the best service all around. I think of her more as a friend than my piercer. She will definitely be the only one I let poke me & take all my money! If I could rate her 100 stars I would! I absolutely love her! read more

Walked in with a friend didn't even get a hello or acknowledgment. They saw us come in and never said anything. Not going to make it a racial thing but definitely didn't appreciate it. read more

Got my ears pierced by Lucy and thought the process was nice and everything went smoothly. She had told me to message her on Instagram for any questions and when I want to change my earring out. I assume she tells all her customers the same, but the only problem is she never checks her messages nor responds. It has been about 1 month of trying to contact her and my ears have been bleeding for over 2 months now and would like to talk to a 'professional' piercer about it. I called the place as well with no luck of reaching her. It seems like I'm not the only one who has problems getting in contact with her. It really makes me feel like she's only about the money and could care less about her customers. read more

I got my daith pierced by Ursula and she was amazing. I have a bunch of piercings and I think this may have been the easiest one I've ever sat for. Ursula was super cool, friendly, and made this process smooth and simple. Definitely returning to her for my next hole. read more

I just had piercers at another shop rip a septum ring out of my nose because people are inadequate at what they do. The artist did not close my seam ring all the way and my skin healed in between the jewelry. If you couldnt change the jewelry, you shouldve told me. I went through a lot of pain for this, and I just wish someone more qualified could have helped me. When youre attached to a name like Elm Street you assume quality. read more

this company bought over hold fast tattoo off of lower greenville. I have been going there for over 7 years. As soon as they bought hold fast they have done nothing but taken it downhill- raising prices as well as lowering their quality of service. Sad to see this going so far downhill so fast. Won't be going back. read more

I got a tattoo from Matt at Heart in Hand today. It was a great experience and I will return. I like the location, the tools were clean and sanitized, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Matt was professional and a great tattoo artist. Previously, my daughter also got a tattoo from Matt at Heart in Hand. read more

Ursula is great-- very chill. I was a little nervous going somewhere new, but she immediately put me at ease. My rook piercing was pretty much painless- she did a great job. I'll definitely be back. I'd just be sure to check to be sure she is working before you stop by. read more

I decided to get my navel pierced on a whim. I did not have appointment. They graciously accepted me. Afton pierced me and she was great. Would definitely recommend Heart in Hand! read more

I haven't gotten a tattoo here (yet...it could happen) but I stop in EVERY time I'm in Deep Ellum. It's a favorite stop for purchasing custom knives (yes, we've got more than one) and really cool jewelry (yeah, that is also plural). I especially love the turquoise and silver pieces they seem to find! The people are always super friendly and helpful, not pushy. The place is always clean and has a great vibe. It's become one of my favorite stops in Dallas to browse. Always something new and interesting!!!! read more

They accepted me as a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon as I wanted to get my nostril pierced. Ursula was fantastic, made me feel comfortable, and the piercing was almost painless. She provided plenty of info regarding aftercare and answered all of my questions thoroughly. This is my first piercing and I am absolutely in love with it. You rock, Ursula! read more

I was coming from out of town as I was visiting family and friends in the area and wanted a tattoo to make my moment memorial as I have been through a lot in the past year. As my friend and I walked in we weren't greeted with the friendliest of greetings with the guy at the front desk. We however were greeted very nicely by the tattoo artist who received our inquiry from management days in advanced. As I was preparing to receive my tattoo, I noticed there was candy I could grab to take off the edge of the sleeve I was about to receive after four years of no tattoos. I was nervous and proceeded to ask asked for a piece of candy and he said no, I said, "I was willing to pay just needed something to calm me", the answer was still no. As we moved to the tattoo area, my friend accidentally knocked a framed picture down, which didn't break at all and fell a foot, and he said "Watch what you're doing this ain't you're living room ,this is a business !!" We apologized and it explained to him we were nervous as we are getting huge matching tattoos. The tattooer was great and was able to turn around our experience but i don't think I'll ever go back there again." read more

Horrible service. Artist were rude as hell. Tattoo looks AWFUL. Line work is completely jagged and now I get to have this forever! Wow! thank you rude ass artist in a rush who can't be considerate that this is in my damn skin forever!!!! DO NOT GO HERE unless you want a horrible tattoo:) read more

Great studio to get my piercing! Clean with private rooms. The staff was friendly, especially my piercer, Lucy. She was great!!! Highly recommend her. Very professional, and patient with me between my indecisiveness of the placement and jewelry for my nose ring. I was nervous but she was quick and efficient. I will go back to Lucy for any future piercings! read more

I got my nose pierced here two days ago. Everything looked great afterwards, loved it. The next day, I noticed the stud was pushed in really far into my nostril... I go to a tattoo parlor closer to where I live and they said it looks like I got pierced with a needle larger than the piercing bar. I don't know if I'd recommend getting your nose pierced here. They didn't use a screw nose ring either which apparently is recommended. read more

Friendly staff, fine service and pricing!! We had a great time and conversation! Thank you, Afton and Lucy!!

Terrible customer service. Have been trying to get a cartilage piercing for my daughter for 4 days for her birthday. Between the 2 stores not being open over the last couple days and no one available to do the piercing. My daughter was out of school early today, took her to the Deep Ellum location, after calling to see if available and how busy, they said yes. We then went to the store and the gentleman at the front desk was very nice and asked about paperwork for a 17 year old and the RUDE "Manager, " said "no minors today, it is on the Website"? What does the Website have to do with me calling and walking in off the street? They were not even busy, 1 other person at the front desk... very disappointing and terrible customer service. (besides the 2 pleasant gentleman working at the front desk! read more
