    I DO NOT RECOMMEND I'm not from the Dallas area and came a few weekends ago for a girls trip. We were wanting to get piercings and found Inkling based on the reviews. I decided to get my septum done because my friend had hers done and I had been wanting it done for a while. I got my septum pierced here and the experience was honestly terrible. It was EXTREMELY painful and the piercer even bumped the needle multiple times and was not smooth at all. He struggled to even get me pierced all the way through. After getting pierced I tried to ask for aftercare tips and he gave me nothing, just told me not to touch it. I wasn't even asked what jewelry I wanted or anything. When we got in the car and looked at the piercing we realized it wasn't even pierced correctly. It was 100% in the wrong place and looked nothing like my friends and was a completely different experience to hers when she got hers done where we're from. I consulted a local piercing studio where I'm from and they said I was completely pierced incorrectly, in the wrong spot and I would have to immediately take it out in order for it to heal properly. It was pierced far too low. And began to ooze a yellow puss within a day. I had to take it out within two days of getting it pierced. I got in contact with the owner of Inkling who confirmed it was pierced wrong and said he could re-pierce me for free. However I am unable to make the trip back to Dallas and let him know. He told me I could not get a refund, only come back to get re pierced. It's overall just a frustrating experience because i should have never been pierced improperly in the first place. It's unprofessional to have the only person working that day do piercings that he clearly did not know how to do. It was an extremely painful experience, that I essentially got nothing out of and now cannot even receive a refund. I paid $80 plus a $20 tip.

    Super talented artist!! The owner did my tattoo and was super nice and easy to talk to, patient when it got to the sensitive parts and kept me calm even when the tattoo hurt like a bi*ch! He was very focused on making sure that I left with an amazing tattoo and that I was happy with it (and I am!!) I've gotten tons of compliments and many people have asked me where I got it done. I'll be going back for my future pieces!

    For me

    Amazing work done by Sneker. I had 2 peices done I highly recommend the pictures i took don't do his work justice. Can't wait to go back

    Chris Clements at work - "Zoe the Cat"

    So many positives about this studio - not just a tattoo parlor - a full fledged ARTIST studio! Chris Clements is a gem of an artist and spirit. He has a methodology that will solidify the notion you've come to the right guy. The memorial for my cat - son - Zoe is breathtaking. I knew I was in for something special but could not have imagined a more beautiful, SOULFUL depiction of my little satellite. I will miss him everyday but I have his aura with me everywhere now thanks to Chris. The entire experience from the day I walked in to the last stroke of ink was amazing. Thanks for caring so much about me and my little fur bucket! I'll be back!!

    Brandon went above and beyond for my scar coverup!

    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
