10/10 for customer service! The minute we walked in we got a warm greeting and were attended to right away. Guided us to the jewelry and explained prices, recommendations, and introduced us to the piercer. @Willtheimpaler did an amazing job. Was patient when I changed the location three different times and was very vocal about the tools he was using and what they were for (I had questions cause I was nervous). read more

This place is amazing and Josh is a total badass. I wanted to do a cover up on a tattoo I got when I was 18. Finally decided to bite the bullet and started meeting with artists. The vibe of this place is fun and easy going. I absolutely love my new tattoo. Can't even see what was covered up. **I'll add pics soon** read more

My mother in law gave my daughter piercings for her bday. She met us there, and took a tumble on her way in resulting in a gash on her head and blood everywhere. When I walked in, Josh was tending to her, cleaning her up and bandaging her gash on her head. He was so attentive and caring towards her. Leadership and service like that says a lot about bout a person and their business. Everyone else who worked there kept checking on her too and it was amazing! The entire crew at Ink817 was incredible. My daughter's piercings went flawlessly and look great! The place was clean and very nice. Definitely recommend to anyone! read more

Really disappointed with the customer service here was put on a waitlist for 3 hours came back got told it would be 20 minutes max and 2 people in front of us, ended up sitting for 2 hours watching more than 3 people go before us. I wish we could've gotten communicated to better instead of wasting so much time. read more

It was so good! I went in and got a piercing and i never felt uncomfortable or embarrassed at all! I definitely recommend coming here!

Great place, the staff was excellent and it was very clean and customer friendly. I will be coming back to ink817 read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal. I came here last summer and got a tattoo by Derrick.... Wonderful. I was incredibly happy with it. He's very kind and professional. He is also on the quiet side (but not awkward lol) which is a HUGE plus for me personally. I can NOT handle getting tattoos so I don't wanna talk majority of the time anyways. Gave me plenty of breaks and just a really great experience overall. Long over due for a review. Sorry Derrick! :') I also came back today to get a new stud for my nose. Amazing. The guy up front, I think Will was his name, he needs a damn raise lol. He is SO professional, attentive, and just great energy all around. He helped me pick some jewelry out and took me to the back where he politely seated me and had me wait for my piercer to switch my jewelry out. That being said.... miss Hannah, who switched out my jewelry is first of all, cool as hell looking haha and super sweet. She was great. Quick little switchy switch and i was done. These employees are so great. The shop STAYS ridiculously busy but somehow they manage to accommodate everyone with no problems. Truly a great great great shop. The owner should be very proud! Thank you guys so much for your help! I'm moving back to California or I would be back a million more times!!!! Anyone who goes here, you are in great hands. I'm incredibly picky and do my research and trust me when I say look no further! :) read more

I wanted to get a simple stick figure tattoo for my dad that just passed away 2weeks ago. And so I contacted ink817 through Instagram and I asked for someone w a really steady hand because it's going to be a line tattoo, and they recommended Daniel.. Daniel was really quiet, he doesn't talk a lot but I like that! I don't like chatty tattoo artist because sometimes I just want to put my headphones on and watch Netflix so I can ignore the pain. But he definitely did me right! His hands is so steady and he is very accurate and he did not miss, not even one line! Definitely will go back and get more tattoos from him! Thanks man! read more

Customer service was great! Sean was absolutely amazing. This was my minor daughters first piercing and he was very compassionate and considerate read more

Gordi did an amazing job. Been 20 years since my first tat and wasn't sure what to expect. He knocked it out of the park. Will definitely be coming back to expand my sleeve. Already got a few friends that are wanting to have him do work for them. Place was awesome, clean and chill. read more

After two attempts at a helix piercing at other locations, we found ourselves at Ink817. The owner and his staff were friendly, professional, and accommodating, and my kiddo walked out with a pretty new piercing. We flew back home to Michigan the following day, and within a couple of weeks discovered that the little gem had fallen out of her stud. When I let Josh know, he immediately mailed out a new set of studs to replace the broken one. We are blown away by the incredible customer service and generosity with which Josh and his team have operated, and would highly recommend their services to others. read more

Always the best service by the master Grace Roybal as my half sleeve of gorgeous old school style tats will show. Love this place and the owner I have always gone out of my way from Weatherford to dfw just to experience quality and qualified, knowledgeable piercers and tattoo artists. Vibe is relaxed, open floor plan, fast and amazing experience every time. I would rate it 1000/10 if I could! Love you Grace!! read more

I think this is my 7th tattoo from Gordi (lost track lol) This tattoo was inspired by Ellie's tattoo from the last of us and it was really important to me that we get it right. I wanted her tattoo pretty much exact but just in color.... Couldn't be happier with the results. Gordi is so good at bringing what I am picturing in my head to life. The colors he picks are always perfect. If you're looking for an artist who is going to pay close attention to detail and really listen to what you want, Gordi is your guy. I can't say enough good things about him. read more

I've been wanting to get a helix piercing for a while now so I went after work this week to INK817 and was very impressed. The shop was very clean and the staff was great! Harmonee did my piercing and let me say she is great at what she does. Harmonee is very professional and explained everything. I highly recommend Harmonee and INK817 for all your tattoo and piercing needs. I'll be going back later for some new ink! read more

Very disappointed in the customer service. They need artists who actually show up to their appointments. I have scheduled and rescheduled 25 appointments with Manuel since August (that's 8 months of absolute bullshit excuses or no excuse at all). I've had to reschedule these because he has either (1) canceled minutes before the appointment started, (2) changed the time the day of by 5+ hours--just for him to cancel again, or (3) never showed up and never responded to my messages. The most recent encounter, I confirmed with him 2 weeks, then 1 week, then the 3 days leading up to the appointment day confirming that the date and time still works--which he confirmed ... only for him not to respond the day of. And now, 4 days later, I still have not heard a single thing from him; yet, he's read the messages and has posted on social media since then. It's extremely unprofessional. He did this to my friend too. Her appointment was at 1. She didn't hear from him till 10 pm. His excused "I forgot to hit send." So, if you decide to go to this shop, be prepared to have unfinished tattoos. Especially if you book with Manuel. You will have a half-done, shitty-looking piece. My advice, just go to a different shop. There are plenty of good shops out there that actually care about tattooing and who actually care about their customers. Any disputes the shop tries to comment on here ... just know I have screenshots of Manuel not responding to messages. This shop should be ashamed of themselves for letting their artists ruin their shop's reputation. I've been getting tattooed for 6 years, and I've never experienced anything like this before. Absolutely shameful behavior! read more

Service was perfection. Vibe is awesome. They truly take care of you here. Even when I was being nit picky they understood everything I was saying and going through and proceeded to do probably the best work Ive gotten. read more

I didn't think I would tell the whole internet that I pierced my nipples, but here I am. Last night I got my nipples pierced, it was a Friday so they had two piercers (Jake and Harmony). For nipples I suggest going when they have two piercers, so you can get both done at once. They were so professional. Both Jake and Harmony had excellent bedside manner. They made me feel so comfortable during this vulnerable experience. I can't say enough how professional they were!!! While marking me they touched as little as possible. They spent so much time marking and double checking the marks to ensure good placement. They checked in multiple times to make sure I comfortable and wasn't over stimulated. The piercing was super fast and went better then expected. The placement is PERFECT!! I can't say enough good things! Prior to this experience my daughter had her ears pierced there. They took extra time and care since she is a kid. I also got my second ear piercing there (also by Harmony). I've had multiple friends have good experiences at Ink817. I can't forget to mention, They have excellent prices. They are super clean and very conscious of sanitation. I wouldn't go anyplace else for a piercing! read more

This is the best place to get piercings. It's very clean and the employees must be certified to do them. My son has gotten multiple piercings here and they've tired out great. read more

The shop if very clean and professional. Everyone I talked to made me feel comfortable. Jake did a dermal on my cheek for me! He was very polite and efficient. Set up and tear down was very clean. I'm the lead artist, piercer, and shop manager at a tattoo shop in California and I wanted to go somewhere that I felt was top notch and safe. This place was it! Thank y'all so much. read more

I got my navel pierced and they did a great job! Getting the piercing was quick, clean, and my piercer talked me through it while she was piercing me. I got the cheapest jewelry and my total for the piercing was $38 read more

I was searching for a place to take my bestie to get her nose repierced. Josh was super helpful on the phone and Shawn was incredible in person. He explained that since she'd had a piercing before that he could use gauges to stretch it out rather than retraumatizing it with a needle. As someone who works in healthcare I was happy that Shawn was very knowledgeable and hygienic by washing his hands and changing his gloves multiple times. He is truly gifted at what he does, and his personality definitely matched the vibe at the shop. 10/10 recommend this shop and bestie is tickled with her results. read more

Extremely professional. Loved the fact that she was patient and calm, loved her vibe..definitely made the process so much easier. I will be back and will tell others. read more

Getting this piercing has been on my to-do for a while. So with the extra time during the holidays I decided to go ahead and get my nose piercing. What better place than Fort Worth own orginal historical code, Ink817. Those of you of a certain age with roots here feel me tho. *winky winky* The place sits tightly in the heart of downtown well populated Camp Bowie and University. This gem needs more sparkle cause you might miss it. A very open cozy twist to view the artist doing their work. The modern setup accommodates everyone's curiosity and payments. After I was friendly greeted, consent forms filled out and identity verified Gordi escorted me back to his area. Tools were packaged, cleaned and laid out on tray. Gordi made me feel calm with confidence in his visibly bodied work of art that he beautifully adorned. With my eyes closed and a tuff stick it was over with a tear of relief. The little zirconia gave just the sparkle a gurl like me wanted. The Service, Price, Location 4 stars with 1 for 817!! *Smooooches* SN: For curious or bi my ring is on the right side cause this gurlie plays with only boys... *LOL* read more

My sister and I came here for my birthday to get a piercing together. We both got the industrial piercing. Friendly people. Clean shop. Heather was great. My son wanted his lobes pierced so I took him to her a few days later. Minors need to show birth certificates or proof that you're their parent. Would come back again for a piercing and maybe a tattoo! Next door to the Great outdoor sub shop and Hanabi. read more

The service and interaction with the piercers was lovely. They were helpful and very professional. Unfortunately, I think one of the piercers was training, and one of my lady's piercings is a bit crooked. I don't think she can handle re-piercing, so she's just stuck with it. read more

Super friendly and professional! The shop was clean and everyone there was so kind and helpful.

Popped in today to get my ears pierced. Heather Taylor & all the staff was amazing. I loved the decor of the shop & how you could see the personalities of each artist. Will be back when I need more piercings. read more

Love the new decor, high quality work, top-drawer artists and piercers! Definitely worth the trip!

INCREDIBLE! We contacted the shop about a month before our bachelorette trip and had the most amazing experience working with Josh, the owner to make 10 girls tattoo dreams come to life. He was incredibly responsive and made everything go so smoothly. Coordinating times, artists, designs and prices for that many people can be challenging but Josh made it a walk in the park. They were incredibly coordinated and did beautiful work during the appointments. I can't recommend this shop enough for all aspects of their work. Thank you Ink817!! read more

Highly disappointed with my piercing. First time getting snake bits and have to take them out because it was pierced to shallow. I was under the impression that she put the correct peeing in for swelling however did not so I had to go back to get a bigger gauge. The piecer is a lovey women however I didn't feel she was experienced. Love the way they look however I'm really upset that I have to know get them done CORRECTLY a second time. read more

I went to have my septum pierced and was blessed to meet and be pierced by Heather. She was incredibly patient with me. I had a million questions and she went through them methodically explaining everything clearly. She was skillful and honest. Never met a kinder piercer. I would wholeheartedly recommend going to see her. I also got to speak with the owner Josh. Such a wonderful person. You could tell he is passionate about his shop and his art. I will definitely be back. read more

amazing work, chill atmosphere, 10/10 would recommend! the artist who did my tattoo, Derrick, was incredible! the end result came out even better than the reference pic and was very reasonably priced. can't tell you how pleased i am with this place, i'll be recommending it to everyone i know read more
