Donnie is a rockstar :) I lost the 'ball' to my new lip piercing on Superbowl Sunday. The place that pierced me was closed until Tuesday. I contacted Iron Ink and they told me to come in, so they could take a look at it. Donnie talked to me about the size and replaced the ball for me in approximately 5 minutes. Clean shop, quick service and Donnie (and the shop) had great energy. read more

This is the very best place to get any ink done. The shop is clean. Michael is hands down the best artist that I've been to. He is friendly, gentle and very attentive to quality and detail. Their prices are very fare. I would highly suggest you contact them in advance for an appointment. I will continue to come here for all of my ink needs. read more

Went here to take my gf to get her septum pierced and was botched completely...the lady did a horrible job and didn't even explain everything well enough. It came out uneven, she pierced the columella of her nose on one side and the other side was way too low and definitely did not even come close to hitting the sweet spot. Would not recommend getting piercings here for real. read more

A couple months ago my friend and I went to iron ink and we were treated with respect and we were given good prices. Micheal and Carry talked to us and shared some great stories and we shared laughs. I've always passed by this shop every time I go down beltline and I never knew it would be that great. read more

Absolutely love this place and the people who work here. I've had my septum pierced and a Friday The 13TH tattoo. The staff is very chill and helpful, they make sure you're comfortable whether it's your first time or your 100th time. I highly recommend. read more

I came here to get my recent piercing checked out and Donnie was super helpful and such a kind being. I was having some issues with my tragus from another piercer and he was able to replace the jewelry easily and gave me advice on how to ease its irritation. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, i'm definitely going to come back for future piercings and tattoos (: read more

Had a fantastic experience here getting my daughter's ear lobes pierced and a helix piercing for myself. It was great! Super clean, super fast, and I especially appreciated the professionalism. I always read reviews before I go anywhere, but also know to take it with a grain of salt. I saw one for this place where the person complained the process wasn't drawn out longer, they weren't shown the needle, etc. Wtf. I'm an ER nurse. I start IVs and give shots for a living, and can tell you the fastest way to freak someone out is to SHOW THEM THE NEEDLE and drag out the process! Yikes! Sooooo glad that wasn't the case here or my daughter would've passed out lol. Jewelry selection wasn't huge, but they had what I wanted and the experience (which I care about) was great. Highly recommend! read more

Iron Ink Tattoo - Helix piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Irving, Texas

Been here twice trying to get a piercing. First time their piercer "left for the night" but they were all standing outside and it was obvious they were smoking not cigarettes and acted bothered that they were interrupted. Second time the girl was mopping and again were so bothered and rude that we walked in. Gave us a ridiculous price to just get us to leave. The worst. read more

I have been living in Irving for a year now and I have literally looked everywhere and tried to get ahold of multiple artist. My brother got a piece done by Jorge and I loved it. I contacted him, within hours he was messaging me back. He worked with me, listened to what I wanted, asked questions, and worked around my schedule for work. I started my half sleeve and he has the most gentle hand I have ever had tattoo. His line work is one of the most spot on line work I have seen. I would highly recommend iron ink and even more highly recommend Jorge. His work is hands down one of the best I have ever seen (and i have seen a lot of work). The environment of the shop was laid back and made me feel comfortable. The ONLY place and ONLY person I will let me tattoo me from now on is Jorge from Iron Ink read more

Professional, friendly, CLEAN. Solid work by solid artists who take your concerns and wants seriously. Small shop but very well-run - never felt hurried or set aside. The owners are hands-on and take client satisfaction very seriously. You need something made right? Talk to them and you'll see results! Highly recommend and will be back. read more

I just got my first tattoo a few days ago at Iron Ink! Jorge did mine. He was very patience, professional, and nice. He walked me through the physical process of getting a tattoo (which calmed my nerves), and made sure I was clear on the aftercare procedures. The shop was clean and well-lit, and I loved the vibe and decor. Definitely will be coming back here when I'm ready for my next tattoo! read more

It was a wonderful place to get tattooed. I had a small tattoo on my ankle that had started to become a trigger for my PTSD so I had it covered up. It was a wonderful experience. Michael did the cover up and it was really lovely work. And he was so accommodating about doing touchups after it healed to make sure I couldn't see any part of the old tattoo underneath. The place itself is very clean and welcoming, and I loved seeing how Michael interacted with his apprentices. Sometimes tattoo artists are hard on their apprentices, but Michael was friendly and was giving them tips about positioning and technique while he was tattooing me. If I hadn't moved out of Irving I would have made this place my regular shop. But if I'm ever in Dallas I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Drove all the way from Midland TX to get tattooed after seeing Donnie's work on Instagram. Donnie was so awesome and helped answer every question I had. The shop is clean and has you wash your hands upon entry, and they make sure to go through aftercare *before* you get your tattoo. Before the tattoo, they make sure you like the placement which is good because evenness was a major concern of mine! The tattoo is so beautiful and one of the reasons I came here specifically, you know you're getting quality stuff. Will be returning for every piercing I ever get. Thanks, Donnie! read more

Donnie did an amazing work got a piercing done for my ear lobe and nose pain free work was quick and clean

Went here to get my nipples pierced, everyone was really nice and professional. But shortly after the healing process it went bad... I was cleaning and taking care of them properly as directed. Idk if he put too small of a bar in or to small of a ball on both ends. But the ball of the pricing was digging into the piercing hole causing it to become bigger and the skin would start to grow around it and I would have to push it back out and clean it constantly. After doing this for a few months I thought it was getting better... It didn't. I finally had to take them out because it was digging so far into my nipples that when I took the bar out to clean it completely about 7 months after getting it done.. it looked bad I had a huge hole in the side of my nipple and you could see the inside of my nipple..i didn't realize it was that bad... Ironically my sister in law had got her nipples done here too a month before me, I had no idea we went to the same place.. the same exact thing happened with her but her skin actually completely grew over the entire pricing.. she keep having to push the ball out over and over and it got to the point where she was unable to push them out so she has to go get them cut surgically. I was really upset that I had to take them out. Idk how the same exact thing happened to two people... I wouldn't recommend getting your nipples done here. And I've had them done before a few years ago before I got pg I never had that problem with the healing process. Posted on Yelp and Google maps I don't want anyone to have this experience. I got my nipples done for a reason and it really sucks... read more

Came here with my sister and we both got tattoos. I loved mine!Came out better than I thought it would. Artist was patient with me since I couldn't find a font i wanted l. The shop was clean.Will be coming back for more. read more

Iron Ink Tattoo - Done by Dusty. - Tattoo Near Me - Irving, Texas

Silly me. I thought that I could trust that professionals would take their time and do a good job. I had a four hour layover in a nearby airport and wanted to have my nose pierced. I looked up this place and they were licensed and had good reviews, so I went. The piercer came out, said about two words before starting to try to stick a huge needle through my nose. I stopped him because I had questions. Maybe it was my fault that I couldn't understand him, but I think the real reason was because he had a huge ring in his lower lip that left it protruding out about 3 inches. It was impossible for me to accurately understand what he was saying. I was laid-back in the chair and not shown any of the materials that he was about to use. I stopped him again and asked if the materials were clean and sanitized. He looked at me as if I were an idiot and showed me that they were in fact sealed closed. I assumed I had the right to ask this and didn't mean to upset him, but I don't really care if I did. At that point I felt that since it was clean and he was a professional, I would continue. He wiped my nose, said 1,2, 3, and stuck a huge needle in my nose. I have had one piercing before and that process was much longer and was explained to me in detail, and didn't hurt a fraction as much as this one. This was horrible! I was bleeding everywhere. He gave me a piece of cotton gauze and said, "Keep this on it." I didn't even get to chose the type of ring! I'm stuck with an ugly fake silver stone of some kind. And that was it. I am currently on my way to a local piercing shop in Kentucky where I live, and I know that they will do a good job. My fault that I went somewhere on a whim. Do. Not. Go. Here. read more

I went in last minute on the weekend with a friend and we were both getting tattoos All the employees were super nice and we had good conversation. The art turned out exactly how I wanted and based on collections they had online already they had wonderful artists. Very clean. My only complaint is it seemed overpriced. I get that you get what you pay for and the artist gave quality work, but in comparison to places I've been for my only 5 tattoos and times I went along with friends... it was overpriced. Originally I was going to wait and get mine elsewhere out of state and they quoted it for $90 whereas here it was $160. I got it anyways despite the price jump because it was an experience with a very special friend, but just be weary that it may cost more than you're expecting. read more

great artists, friendly, professional, nice clean shop!! very happy and will go back for the next one! you can trust these guys read more

BEST PIERCER I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I REFUSE TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE! So, I love piercings, however I'm also such a grandma about things getting infected and getting pierced wrong (it has happened way too many times). When I first met Ali, I thought I met my long lost sister. She was so welcoming and FUNNY as hell. Her room is SO clean and well kept, and she is extremely organized. I was a tad nervous when I sat in the chair, but once I told her what I wanted (I had NO idea what the piercing was called, usual customer :P), she knew right off the bat, and talked me through the process. Unlike most, I will ask questions until the person's ear falls off. Ali kept up with me 100% and FULLY answered all my questions. SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT!! Not only that, she didn't seem the slightest bit annoyed, and I could tell she is very passionate about this, and she truly cares about the person getting pierced, and NOT there to get paid to stab people. By now, I'm almost itching to get the piercing done. When it was go time, she walked me through the process step by step, and gave me plenty of warning before she actually pierced me, and even then she was EXTREMELY careful, the piercing honestly tickled a bit, and was done before I knew it. Another thing that sets Ali apart and way above all the piercers I have ever met is that she made sure I knew after care (no ointment!) and gave me her card to contact her if I had ANY questions or issues during after care. In fact, I did have a few questions about a week or two later, and she got back to me VERY quickly, and helped me get back on track, and I'm healing great!! I love my double diath!! All in all, I couldn't recommend her more, I adore her as a person, and as a professional. She truly cares about not only her job, but her customers as well, and it really shows. I will DEFINITELY be returning for more piercings, and I have been spreading the word about her like wildfire. read more
