I came here to get my Medusa switched out to a longer bar because my original piercer at a different shop pierced it with such a small bar there was no room for swelling and it was sinking into my lip. While there was a language barrier, the piercer still accommodated me and we figured it out. He let me know I can switch it out to the original jewelry once the piercing has healed more. It already feels much better! read more

Me and my boyfriend went in wanting to get matching and a separate tattoo. We went on a Sunday at around 4 and he (Paul) got to us 5min before closing. Only to tell us that he would design a tattoo and give it to us to see approve. We have a deposit, and we were supposed to get a design within three days. After a whole week without him contacting us we texted him and he took two days to give us a copy and pasted picture from the Internet. After telling him that that is not what we had originally agreed on he told us that he would give us a new picture. After another week without him telling us anything we texted him again and he took two more days to answer and told us that he was busy with other clients. It has been about 2 months now and he never gave us a drawing and he refused to give us the deposit back. Moral of the story: stay away Paul will rob you. read more

Great place!! Clean, great price and amazing artists. Glad I went there to get this tattoo.

Taylor replaced my nose jewelry on 7/28. She was sitting outside when I pulled up and I explained my situation and she was so nice and took care of me within 10 minutes. I had tipped her extra because she was just so nice. I'll be back. read more

My boyfriend got his ears pierced and I got a tattoo here. The piercers were efficient, friendly, and clean! Leidi was one of them and I didn't catch the other girl's name. I got my tattoo done by Jude and they were excellent accommodating me. They drew up a version of an image I brought in and their style fit me perfectly. I am so happy with how it turned out! The Saniderm they had is also awesome and I wish I had it for my other tattoos I have had done in be past. I would definitely recommend coming here for piercings or tattoos!! read more

I've been wanting to add 2 ear piercings for a while now (my daughters birthstone and mine). Due to Covid I planned on waiting longer- I felt that there was no reason to risk my safety as well as that of others yet. However, a friend of mine was going and I decided to join her. I am so happy that I did!!! First off, this shop could not have been any cleaner!! We were asked not to touch or set our purses on the glass counter. Of course we used it to fill out forms but what a great idea to cut down on unnecessarily spreading surface germs. There were only two employees there at the time we went and briefly one other customer. Our temperatures were taken. We were only allowed one at a time in the piercing room and the room was so thoroughly cleaned just between the two of us. Both employees had on masks. During piercings a face shield and gloves were worn. While marking my ears, I asked for the hand mirror. She took off a glove to grab the mirror so as not to contaminate it; putting my ear at risk. I only mention all of the above in the event somebody reading this wants to go but feels safer waiting- Go! Not only will you be safe, but you will be helping a small business and mainly the people who work there to survive! Heather was the piercer- I've added a picture of her card. I'm serious, if you are wanting a piercing, Heather is the one to see!! She was beyond INCREDIBLE! She took the time to ensure everything was done perfectly- from the marking to telling me to take a deep breath as she inserted the needle. I am a wuss when it comes to needles and had a death grip on the chair. I was surprised by how little pain there was. She was very thorough about explaining aftercare and I was given an instruction sheet. Not only is Heather a talented true professional, but she is kind and a genuinely good person!! I will be going back for one more higher up on the cartridge. read more

Lucas is a rookie, 3 years, but the real problem is his mentor. There was a couple blowouts in my tat because I am old (60) and have thin skin now. I have 12 other tattoos starting in 1981. When I asked about it they acted as if they had no idea what it was. I thought it was an infection. Did some research and I went back and asked the owner to educate his guys on old and thin skin to prevent this and he pretty much blew me off. Biggest mistake - going to anyone that takes walk ins. If you don't need an appointment, they probably suck. read more

Very unwelcoming. Came into get a little tattoo and he brushed me off because it wouldn't make him enough money I guess. Went somewhere else for that because he seemed like a real jerk. But got a dermal piercing removed before asking about the tattoo. The piercer was amazing! I was nervous because they were in my cheeks , but it was so Painless read more

Heather did a great job piercing! My friend and I both got daith and helix piercings. Heather was patient and thorough.

This is a review for Ryan he's the guy that's going to poke you with a needle. Very professional. He's going to ease you into your piercing session. Place is clean! They have a lot of street cred...why I chose to go here...I'm just here to solidify that! Also great selection of metal ;) read more

I must say that this shop is one of maybe three things I will miss about Dallas. JP Morin is a tattoo ninja! He did a 3/4 sleeve on me that people ask questions about everywhere I go. Living in Austin you see a lot of ink, and at least 5 times per day I am stopped on the street by a stranger wondering where I got this amazing work done. Go JP! Did I mention that after seeing his portfolio I let him design the whole thing? I basically told him what types of things I wanted in it and what colors. After that I let him run wild with it, and I am so glad I did!!! It is feminine, beautiful, and an amazing work of art!!! Not only is he talented, but he has a great sense of humor that somehow manages to make you forget he has a needle in your armpit! Check out his stuffed pig thingy...scary! I also got my hips tattooed by Dave Woodard, who sadly is no longer at this studio. He is now at Saints and Sinners. He did 2 phoenixes and I adore them. I was worried about this being such a sensitive area, but he was very gentle and efficient. The level of detail is exceptional, even 1 year later. Hopefully next time I am in Dallas I can get tattooed by Lou Morris. He is one of the best portrait artists I have ever met. He puts Kat Von D to shame in my honest opinion. He is also one of the nicest and most patient tattooists you will ever meet. Skin Art Gallery rocks! read more

I was driving home one day and passed Skin Art Gallery. At the spur of the moment, I decided I wanted a tattoo, and stopped in. This place is very clean and sanitary. I only had $50.00 on me, but luckily the minimum is $50.00 and one of the artists led me to a page of tattoos I could get. I decided on a clover which is on my left ankle. He did a great job. Months later, I went here for my nipple piercings. Very professional, great work. Some time later, I had an infected piercing ( not done here, I'm allergic to the metal) that I couldn't get out due to the pain and soreness. I asked if I could pay someone to remove it for me. One of the guys removed it and refused to take my money. Everyone here is fun and professional and I would recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing ( or removal). read more

I have actually been to Skin Art a few times over the past decade. Each iteration I received incredibly friendly service, but my experience today takes the cake. I cannot speak highly enough of Ryan's (body mod/piercing artist) expertise, professionalism, skill, patience, and artistry. He was confident, knowledgable, and answered all of my questions succinctly and thoroughly all while being incredibly friendly and not the least bit impatient about my pre-piercing nerves. The rest of the staff, while I had very limited dealings with them, were very friendly, and the shop was clean. The atmosphere of the shop is, generally speaking, very comfortable and professional. read more

I like this place! Super Clean and very fun and friendly folks in there. I have gotten all my tattoos either done or redone here and I think they do good work. They are way more concerned with aftercare of your tattoo than any other place I've been to before which is a good thing! Check it out if your looking to get inked!;) read more

Called over an hour ahead to ask if they had any availability and they said the wait would be 20-30 minutes. Got there at 10 pm to sign our names on a paper. Waited until 11:30 and finally just gave up and left. Didn't give us paperwork, didn't come and tell us any more wait time, didn't let us look at stencils or anything. Maybe the wait wouldn't be so ridiculously long if they wouldn't skip people who have already put their names on the list, and I'm sure the wait would be even shorter if the employees didn't leave the building every 15 minutes to smoke. read more

I have received three piercings from this place and recommended a friend who has received two. I come in today to have my bar changed out due to my swelling gone down and the piercer I had is no longer with the business and now that there's a new piercer I'm told I have to pay for the bar! How is that even right? I would NEVER recommend this place and if I can give zero stars I would! Y'all need to do better because I wouldn't have wasted my money with your business if I had to pay to change my bar now that my swelling went down. Very bad business. read more

Big Mike did a great job on my latest tattoo. Staff was friendly and the place is clean. What more can you ask for in a tattoo shop? Went there on a Saturday night thinking I would just get a price quote, which was very reasonable considering it took two hours of ink time for my job. I noticed a lot of walk-ins, but everyone was greeted nicely and those who wanted to get work done were seen within an hour at most. read more

Jude is an extremely talented and creative artist. I absolutely love my one-of a-kind piece by them. They made the experience comfortable, the shop is very clean and I pretty much tell everyone to go see Jude for any nature related art or fun/creepy blackwork styles. Cant wait to work with them again in the future!! read more

I went here to get pierced tonight and after a previous bad experience at another parlor, I was a little worried. But the piercer was fantastic and while getting a snug, I didn't feel any pain, just a pinch and it was all over. I'm already set to get my industrial redone here. read more

After being turned down by the piercer at Cat Tattoo to get a dermal piercing removed from my fiancé's back, because she said the procedure is too painful and she doesn't like to hurt her clients, we drove across the street to Skin Art Gallery. The staff was really friendly and was able to get us right in. Including set up the procedure only took about 5 minutes, and surprise surprise it was not painful at all, just a little pressure. We will definitely be coming back for all of our piercing needs. Thanks again! read more

I was referred to Memphis by a friend that has been tattooed by him, and all I can say is WOW! His work is amazing. I gave him an idea and let him use his creativity on it and I couldn't be happier. He did an amazing job not only coming up with something that really fit what I was looking for but, the colors and lines are so clean and spot on. I highly recommend him if you are wanting to get a tattoo. read more

The place is clean, not fancy, not trendy. Staff is ok. My artist is Trent Edwards. I did a lot of research on him and others. Good clean lines. Good shading technique. Mostly works in color, but he likes black and gray, that's what I wanted...he's the man! I won't go to anyone else. read more

The tattoo shop was really chill and the employees are super welcoming! Leydi did four of my ear lobe piercings. She measured out everything and made sure to make everything symmetrical. I really appreciated her work ethic. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick piercing session! read more

I decided to get a cross tattooed on my wrist for my 40th birthday. I walked into Skin Art gallery after reading numerous rave reviews and met Trent. I told him what I was looking for and set an appointment. When I arrived for my appointment, he had the design ready to go. He made a few recommendations for placement and we were off! Trent did an amzing job. It is absolutely beautiful! I had it pictured in my head for months and it looks so much better than I pictured. He was very gentle (I have read about tattoo artists that seems to have a "heavy hand"), and the pain was minimal. I will recommend him to anyone that is looking to get a tattoo. The Skin Art Gallery itself is very nice and clean. That was very important to me. I met several other peolpe that work there while I was in and they were all very nice and professional. If you are looking for some great art, then The Skin Art Gallery is the place to go! I know I will be back! read more

Great place! Clean and professional. Trent was awesome. I gave him my idea and he came up with something beautiful and meaningful to me! And the conversation was the cherry on top. read more

Everyone here is kind. They treat you with respect and help you develop your idea for a tattoo.

Joe Tricomi did a great refresh to my old tattoo. He is the man. He takes his time and really takes pride in his work. read more

I am currently getting a half sleeve done with my family crest being the main theme. Richard Garcia is an excellent artist and an incredible tattooist. He has great vision and will not let you get a bad tattoo. He has taken this shop and brought it to a great level. He's renovated the shop and I like getting work done there. Can't wait to finish my sleeve and get this Richard Garcia original completed. He has to be the best tattoo artist in the state of Texas and is for sure the best I've ever had tattoo me. read more

I got a piercing done here by Shyann recently and it's been the easiest healing process I've ever had with a piercing! Would definitely recommend, she's great. They have a lot of really talented artists too, I've seen Isaac for a few different tattoos over the years and he does excellent work. This shop is taking all necessary COVID precautions, everything is sanitized and clean and I never for a moment felt unsafe. Instagram @piercingsbyshyann @isaacb_thefirst read more

Awesome place! Clean and fun environment. Trent does the best work I've seen, or had done in a decade!! Will def be back!

Got tattooed by Shayla. So hot, her art is awesome too! Pretty stoked to get back into her bed and get poked!

After getting a terrible tattoo at a tattoo convention I was nervous about getting a tattoo again. However, the artists here are all very talented and after getting 2 great pieces I'm confident coming here for any work I may desire in the future. read more

I was looking for the best place to get my nose pierced and I decided upon this place. I am so glad that I did!! Ryan was the best in explaining the process. This was my second time I got my nose pierced. The first time I had it done the piercer was the worst in giving me after care instructions. Ryan was quick and it was a lot less painful than the last time that I got it done. He was very thorough and provided detailed aftercare instructions. Very Professional. I HIGHLY recommend Skin Art Gallery for piercings. read more
