Sean P Riley has tattooed almost a complete Japanese traditional back piece on me and it's incredible. He is a true tattooer, does everything by hand. read more

worst experience i've ever had. this place is the perfect example of the stereotypical condescending tattoo artist. i can't remember his name, but the guy who did my tattoo insisted it was physically impossible to do what i wanted at the size i wanted (i wanted a small one). i guess it's my fault for caving instead of just walking out, but i ended up with a tattoo that seriously bums me out. every time i look at it, i'm reminded of my failure to assert myself and get what i wanted. it's too big and frankly doesn't look great. im not even going to post a picture bc i hate it so much. i'm going to get it removed. read more

Went here with my daughter for matching tattoos for Father's Day. Chris was our artist. He did our tattoos along with my fingers and a completely unplanned tattoo he had to stop and take the time to draw. His work and professionalism were second to none. All pricing was fair and up front. He answered any and all questions I had. The shop is extremely clean and well taken care of. The other artists and front desk personnel were friendly and engaging. It felt like I had known these folks all my life. If you're in the Dallas area and looking for your first or to add to your collection, these guys are it. You all better get on it if you want good work for a fair price. If not, maybe they can do your cover up the guys down the road did for cheaper. read more

There is no other place in Dallas I'd go to for my tattoo needs other than Suffer City! They make you feel at home and are incredibly nice people. I've had some of my tattoos done at other shops around the Dallas area, but other shops seem to be cold and lacking in spirt... but not Suffer City! I now get all my tattoos done by Santi who is INCREDIBLE at what he does. He goes above and beyond and is super easy to talk to while getting tattooed which makes the time fly by as well. I recently got a horse shoe and rose on my arm and once he was done, everyone in the shop came by to see it and where amazed with his work. I'm constantly getting asked where I got it from because people are mind blown. There's no other place like Suffer City!!! read more

I've been to Suffer City for three tattoos now and every time, they've been professional and have done a great job. The staff as a whole are friendly and welcoming. Jeremy helped me design and tattooed my last two pieces and did beautiful work! He was clean, professional, made me feel comfortable, and very knowledgeable. For my next tattoo, I'll definitely be coming back to Jeremy. read more

I had a very amazing service at suffer city tattos all the employees were really sweet and made me feel welcome and Ryan the piercer made my service very special he explained me through the piercing and I had minimal pain the environment was very clean he cleansed the piecing before he threaded it and during the process I was in a separate room which made the experience very private which eased my nerves quite a lot read more

I went to Suffer City for my second tattoo and I'll definitely be coming back for more. The parlor is clean, and the artists are friendly. I came specifically to get a piece done by Daniel Gerbis and he did a wonderful job taking the time to help me bring my idea to life. The line work and color that he brings to tattooing is really amazing and he's such a humble person as well. The other artists that work here all have really great work as well! read more

Pam was awesome! I told her how I had read all the nice reviews about her on Yelp and how true they were. She even had a family emergency while we were doing paperwork and she was still poised enough to do my piercing. She was very comforting and supportive through the whole process. The shop was clean and all the staff were wearing masks. Everyone in the shop was very sweet to my family and too, including Chris who chatted us up while we were waiting. I would definitely come back for another piercing or tattoo and recommend the shop. read more

My wife and I came in as walk-ins and were hoping to get a couple of tattoos right then. Chris just had a cancellation and could work us in right away. Not only was he extremely cool and chill, he took the time to listen and talk through design options. He was extremely refreshing from most tattoo artists not pushy and not talking to us we didn't understand tattoos. Dude was a blast to sit with during the process. My wife and I will 100% be back for a tat with him! Shop was very clean and very welcoming! I would absolutely recommend him and Suffer City to anyone and have! read more

Not welcoming at all once u go inside, they will look at you up and down and talk to each other not even say hello or anything, started telling the guy what I thought I wanted and he kept on making faces(rolling his eyes) didn't even help me out just said look it up as a "expert" i would of wanted their advice, gave me weird vibes and belly ring came out crooked read more

I was here last Saturday for an appointment with Andy and this shop is honestly amazing. Super clean and everyone on staff was friendly and helpful. Andy was great I told him a vague idea of what I wanted (an owl on my forearm with roses) and what he drew up was perfect. I could not be happier with it. It's healing up nicely and I pretty much can't stop staring at it because it's so pretty. Since Saturday I have gotten so many compliments on the piece he did for me. I will definitely be coming back here for more work in the future. I have heard they are doing some renovating so I can't wait to see what it looks like when they are done. read more

A few weeks back I came here to get my nipples pierced, and WOW what a great experience! I have many piercings and I can tell you that Pam is the best experience I've ever had. She is so sweet, and makes you feel so comfortable!! She told me exactly how the process works and made sure I was happy with the placement. She was so quick with the piercing, and made sure that I was comfortable. I have recommended her to all of my friends & family, and there are NO complaints from me at all. I will be going back to get new piercings soon, and I think i've found my designated piercer for the rest of my time!! read more

I got my belly button pierced here and Ryan is amazing!!! It was so quick and painless. He had very gentle hands and described everything extreme well. I had no questions with what was happening, aftercare was described very well, and I'm so happy with my new piercing! read more

I've gotten many tattoos here with artists through the years. The one that remains is Stephen. He's done a couple of mine including my first forearm piece which still holds up today. Thanks Stephen! read more

I had an amazing experience getting my first tattoos at Suffer City with a guy named Santi! Firstly it was very easy for me to book an appointment with him, through instagram of the Tattoo Shop, I chose the artist that I wanted! I talked to Santi (the artist that I chose) through direct message, and he made very simple for me to schedule my appointment, I could send to him the ideias of my tattoos and some pictures, and with those informations he told me more or less how much they would cost. My appointment was scheduled within 5 days and when I got there he had my drawings on hands, and particularly I felt more comfortable because it means that he was ready to receive me! He was very patient when I decided to change the spot of my tattoo, he heard my Ideas and after explained very well the care that should take with them! When I got home I saw that I forgot something on my tattoo (that was in my language) and he told me to go back there to get it fixed with no charges! About the quality of the tattoos? Well, They are AMAZING and I loved the fine trace!! The price was fine (the price of a Good Tattoo...) IF YOU WANT TO GET A TATTOO, GO TO SUFFER CITY AND ASK FOR SANTI!!! Thank me later! read more

Can't recommend this studio enough. Excellent artists, and I have trusted lots of work to this studio - including two full sleeves, and have recommended and brought many friends and family members with me to this studio for their own work and all walked away with nothing but high regards to the staff and professionalism of the staff. I have never experienced any rudeness or negative experiences in this studio. Always walk away happy and excited and I have over 30 hours of chair time here with multiple artist. They will continue to be my go to studio as i continue to build my collection. People complaining about bad attitudes probably came in with a bad attitude. Staff is very professional and creative. Highly recommended. read more

Why doesn't this place have more reviews? I got a great, simple tattoo here, super quick and easy. My friend and I both got pricing that was worth a little further drive. I hope they can expand at some point, because two of the artists were sharing a room, and I think that led to more waiting around than was necessary. Again... the pricing was most likely worth it. Unbelievable portrait work here, too, by the way. If you're looking for that in Dallas, you need to check out their photos. read more

This was my first tattoo. A trusted friend and Yelp reviews helped me decide to check out Suffer City. Great decision! Stephen worked with my very rough ideas and helped me come up with a great design. He's a true professional and a great artist. On my scheduled day, I was so excited that I got there 30 minutes early. I spent that time having a really friendly conversation with the supremely cool receptionist (Audrey?). I completely forgot about having to wait. The tattoo looks great, the experience was thrilling, and the people were understanding, helpful, and fun. When I decide on a next tattoo (yes, there will be more) I know where I'm going--Suffer City. read more

Let's get something's straight from the start. The people that have left reviews don't really even understand what to look for in a tattoo. The simple fact is, this isn't even near the best tattoo shop in Dallas. It is in the bottom 20 out of 300+ shops The staff is rude!! The counter help was polite and nice. But as far as the tattoo work. It is just bad, and I really do mean that. Look at it well and pick it apart. Notice things that count. And when you do that, you will see why it ranks as low as it does. Just stay away, and find one of the other shops in Dallas that does do good work with a nice and polite staff, and tattoo artists that really have experience in what they are doing. read more

Daniel gerbis is an absolute pleasure to work with. Extremely approachable and would definitely recommend to a friend. Very impressive line work. Very clean environment and trust worthy. read more

My tattoo artist Daniel Gerbis has recently moved over here to Suffer City. I was able to schedule a last minute consultation last week to talk about my ideas and make my first appointment for Sunday. I am in LOVE with his interpretation of what I had in mind. He went above and beyond what I wanted. Monday I came back to do the outline on the inside of my arm and I'm leaving just as pleased. Everybody who works here is helpful and polite. They offer water or other drinks while you wait and get tattooed. So pleased with my experience and I highly recommend stopping by and seeing Daniel. They have shirts, hoodies, and books at the front so you can look through the different artists works. Definitely check them out! read more

The tattoo work was fantastic. The only thing was, we got there an hour after the place opened on a Saturday, we were the only walk-ins they had, and still ended up having to wait 2-3 hours even starting the tattoo because none of the artists had come in to work yet. The place was clean and the receptionist was extremely apologetic. I would probably go back but I'd definitely make an appointment. read more

It was my first time getting a tattoo and santi did an amazing job ! I was so shocked how amazing the experience was, I even got emotional , I 100% recommend coming here ! read more

Had a great experience getting my first tattoo with Daniel. Messaged him and made an appointment. The place is nicer and more clean than I expected. Service was friendly. Completed the paperwork easily. Daniel was friendly and helped put me at ease. He had been recommended by a friend. The whole process was very fast and easy and I left with a great tat. Love my new ink and already thinking of a 2nd one. read more

Waited 5 hours to get tattooed on friday the 13th, but other than that my experience was great! My artist had a pretty heavy hand which made for some clean linework, and he busted out the small flash art pieces in like 20 mins! read more

I loved my experience here. Came here for my 3rd tattoo. I was a walk in with an idea of what I wanted and Daniel took my idea and made it even better than I could have imagined! My tattoo looks great and I can't stop looking at it and loving it! Very clean shop, very helpful and friendly people, the atmosphere was overall very welcoming and laid back. I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone from now on, and coming back for more. read more

Got my one-and-done (yep, there's only gonna be one!) neck tattoo done yesterday. At 63 yrs of age I had to take a minute to decide if I really wanted to do it! But once I decided, I researched Dallas salons and found that Surfer City, which is down the street from my house, is a rockin' place to get your ink. They are open on Sundays and there was virtually no wait. Sweet Alden did my tat and I am very pleased. (Do NOT be fooled by her youth!) I highly recommend Surfer City AND Alden if you are in the market. Thanks Surfer City, I love my cool Phoenix! read more

I just got tattooed here for the first time tonight. It's safe to say I will be getting future tattoos here. Alden did my tattoo and I'm obsessed! She's still an apprentice under Robert but she is already an amazing tattoo artist. I am extremely impressed with her work and her customer service. Robert also did my little sisters first tattoo tonight and it was perfect. When it say perfect I mean flawless. Most tattoo shops you walk into make you feel out of place but everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great place. Came in for a small red ink tattoo with 2 friends, and was helped immediately even though we were walk-ins. Ask for Jeremy!!!

Thomas Fernandes took care of me on a great tattoo! Super clean line work! Highly recommend! Worked with my schedule and all his tattoos look like stickers read more

Walked in not really knowing what exactly I wanted but after talking to Taylor and Gilbert I decided on getting a piece on my shoulder. Taylor was the one that actually drew out the design and actually put it on my shoulder. He was really helpful and answered any questions I had. The price was great as well as the final outcome. Would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

they charged me out the ass for a simple outline that took less than 10 minutes. no shading. no color. just a black line. go here if you want tattooers that's will take advantage of your youth and your money. there's no pride in the tattoo community in this place. read more

It was pretty good I liked the people that work there but i feel like I got charged a ton for a small 3 inch rose. But they did good work.... read more

I have been following Thomas since 2011 and he is now at Suffer City. Thomas and the other artists are so welcoming and personable. The shop is very clean and has a very relaxed environment. Thomas does beautiful work and makes you feel so comfortable. His line work is immaculate. Thomas is special because if he feels that an aspect of your idea might work better and look better on a different part of your body, or maybe a brighter color scheme, or simplifying it to really make it stand out, he's very honest and is open to your input. He's made several suggestions when I've had ideas and helped me in my journey to make my tattoos stand out. Thomas is prompt in responding to texts or emails and is all around an amazing person. read more

Taylor was great! He did an amazing job on my tattoo, it was exactly what I envisioned. I definitely will recommend him to anyone and will go back if I ever decide to get another! read more

If you are in the mood for a shitty tattoo after a night of drinking THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. On the other hand, if you want one of the best tats you can get in this city with quality work, a clean environment and honest feedback to make sure you get the best art for you body, then look no further. Suffer has done several tats on me so far and I love that they definitely have an understanding of how to tattoo African Americans and I've never had an issue with ink falling out or extended healing times. Stephen's anal retentive level seriousness has ensured he has some of the best staff available and yes, they are real artist. You will not be rushed and they encourage you to consider carefully what you want. BTW, if you want a portrait done, I haven't found a better place in the DFW metroplex at all. read more
