    Matching wrist tattoos (cowgirl boot)
    Cheril W.

    Came into this spot as a walk in for a cute little tattoo for a girls trip and they were able to get us in and design the perfect little tattoos to resemble our trip. All the staff from front desk to the artist (Tim & Junior) were awesome and had a very good energy shared great laughs during the session. Great experience! Would recommend if you are looking to do a spontaneous tattoo.

    New flat and double helix.

    Walked in Taboo Tattoo without prior idea about what new piercings I wanted to add. Spencer discussed with me potential ones and decided to get the flat and double helix which I love. Walked me through the whole process and had great conversations with him through out. Spencer was really creative and suggested other piercings as well but didn't want to get me more than 3 piercings in that sitting (thanks for looking out for your clients!). Pretty cool that it's the oldest tattoo shop in the area, great experience!

    KNDL great shading!

    What a great experience! Celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday. Great atmosphere and energy as we walked in. Everyone was so friendly and professional. Tattoo artists were excellent and we will be back!

    After Tim pierced Kris's nose (laat night); left to right, Tim, Pip, Kris, and Rick!

    Went to 3 different Tattoo & Piercing shops (with piercing in the name of each) - but no one still did piercings. Finally found Tabboo Tattoo and Tim hooked us up! Clean, quick, dry personalities - but friendly. ATM in the expansive lobby. Can't tell you about their tattoo skillz yet, but nose piercing was no prob!! Taboo Tattoo is worth a stop. Next time you are in Deep Ellum, go check 'em out!

    Tim was a nightmare. I'll never return. He was a jerk and unknowingly to me he put a extra piece of font on my tattoo.

    I got my septum pierced here! I got seen fairly quickly even though I was a walk-in, and the piercer was very professional and honest.

    I have migraines and daith piercing was suggested to me by someone that has had it done there. I must admit I am anxious about having it done but the headaches are awful. Can the earring be taken out if I don't respond to it? Delores

    No piercings are permanent. They can be taken out at any time.

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
