I just wanted to highlight the kindness and love instilled in this shop. Im a guest spotting Artist and this is by far one of the cleanest, most professional, inviting environments. Each artist at these locations is highly skilled, creative, and genuinely knowledgeable. This is the type of shop any artist would love to be a part of and it was an honor to meet this crew. Anyone looking for an incredible tattoo needs to head over to instagram and check these guys out. read more

One of my piercings fell out and I wanted to get it replaced before it closed. I was charged over $40 to get it a new piece of jewelry... The place seemed clean and pretty chill but it makes me wonder how much an actual piecing would be if they just charge $40 for the jewelry read more

I was a walk-in customer that got a helix piercing here. I can say that the experience was splendid even though I'm new to the piercing/tattoo scene. I was greeted promptly upon walking in, and I only had to wait a few minutes for the piercer to sanitize the equipment. Not bad for someone who didn't make an appointment. All the starting studs for helix piercings start at $70, and are made of titanium. They have a comfortable waiting area equiped with couches and fine things to make yourself comfortable if you need to wait. The piercing process was smooth and quick: I will forever vouch for piercings anywhere on the ear done by needles over a piercing gun now. Listening to a piercing gun basically stapling your earlobe is worse than a needle. The swelling was gone within hours, and no pus leaked out from my cartilage: That means the piercer did a stupendous job. I was told to check in again two months later, and that's when I could change my simple stud to something edgier like a hoop if my cartilage was recovering properly. read more

I came in as a walk-in to get some piercings on a Friday afternoon. Like anyone else who is ready for a body modification, I googled all around the DFW area and still saw that this location had the best reviews. Notably, most reviewers recommended a piercer named Ryan. The staff was super friendly when I arrived and offered me complimentary drinks in the spacious waiting area. The wait time was a bit long since I was a walk-in, but I think there was some miscommunication between the front desk and the piercers available. Once they were ready, the piercing room was sanitized thoroughly and quickly. I have to strangely admit - the piercing process was quite pleasant. As most other reviewers mentioned, Ryan is just as wonderful irl as he is on paper. He was careful, professional, and talked me through the entire process. The piercing itself was completed so quickly, and I've had no horrible side effects (aside from the normal bruising). The prices were a bit steep compared to other places in DFW, but it's highly justified for the high level of professionalism and knowledge. I do sincerely feel that this is the best place for new piercings. I highly recommend this South Cooper location! read more

I got my first black and gray tattoo here back in October from Elijah. He did an awesome job; I get compliments all the time. People always ask where I went and I have referred a couple of people. If you want a quality tattoo at a reasonable price, i.e. no price gouging, then stop by and talk to the artists, especially Elijah if black and gray is your thing. read more

Caleb was such a pleasure to work with. I sent him pictures of what I wanted and he put it together effortlessly. I even had a last minute addition and he rolled with it. Throughout the tattoo he checked to make sure I was good and made it so easy to trust him with my new ink. I would definitely go to him again. He is very personable and the bomb at what he does read more

Wow. What a great experience. Storytime - In 2007, I really wanted to play a joke on my boss at the time by getting a Tattoo that represented his business. The result: a sign language V, with a smaller V above it, and a bone sticking out of the sign language V hand. At the time, eh, not bad! It was my first job, no regrets. Damn right, no regrets! In fact, over the years I formulated a plan to get a visual work history half sleeve. In my life, work has been so important to me. I knew though, that if I were to make this dream a reality, I had to find the right artist. So, after combing through the trusty Yelp app on July 4th of 2018, and looking for nearby artists, one caught my eye automatically, at this very shop - You know the shop that has the cool MegaMan and Alien mural? Yes, that is it. Indeed, the artist who's work exhibited an edgy retro animated look that I liked? It was Amanda. I reached out to the business via Yelp Messenger, and had a consult set for a couple of days later with the one and only Amanda. Now, I have quite a lot of trust in people. I liked her work, and it it her craft. I would not particularly want a tattoo artist to tell me how to do Social Work, so my goal was to tell her every job that I had done previously, and let her go wild. Jobs: A shop selling fake Nike shirts when I was 12. Nokia. Chuck E. Cheese's, Target, Sachse High, Applebee's, Black Eyed Pea, BJs Brewhouse, and my current job at T.O.R.I. I already had one to represent Denton State School and Vetoni's (mentioned above). Also, I wanted the filler between the images to be UTA orange and blue. Check. She was super cool, and just had 3 questions: 1. Can you send me a list of the jobs via text? 2. What was Sachse High School's Mascot? 3. Can you send me your logo for your job at T.O.R.I.? Done. I arrived at my scheduled appointment in the coming weeks and she had made some bomb stencils. I adored them, even more than I hoped. Overall, it took 3 sessions (seperated by 2 weeks each time), each between 6 and 8 hours. Each time I was eager to go back, not to finish particularly, but to get to chat a bit with some really cool people. EVERY artist, and person that I encountered there was very down to earth, and encouraging along the way. Throughout the sessions, Amanda made sure that all was well, that I was comfortable, and offered me food every visit during breaks. Her topics of conversation were on point, and I enjoyed getting to know her. I am beyond pleased with the outcome, and am so glad I let her take the wheel. Check in on Yelp and show them the pop up, get a super cool shirt. A big part of getting a tattoo is enjoying the events that surround it. Thanks to Amanda and the staff at Urban's Tattoo South on Cooper, it was an experience I will treasure always. read more

I had went in to get piercings and they had given me too short of jewelry and I had to go to another tattoo shop to get it removed because they had previously told me to not worry about it just let it heal itself. read more

Went in for a tattoo to see their availability, made an appointment, SENT my picture. But I did let them know I was 100% on it. Went in the day of my appointment, feeling bad bc I wasn't going to go with the design I had sent and assuming he would have sketches done. He did not, he said I never sent him the picture. I could instantly tell he was upset bc I wasn't wanting the 1k tattoo he had suggested. OVERCHARGED me. And I was feeling uncomfortable bc 1 I had put down a 250 deposit, meaning I wanted something, 2 he wasn't being professional about a piece of PERMANENT art I didn't want. Anyways here is his $400 tattoo he did Vs the $400 COVERUP I went to do at SPARROW TATTOO (2860 FM 157 Mansfield, TX) with GIL who was more professional, listened to me, adjusted the piece until I was happy. read more

They are amazing. James Cowden has been doing my tattoos for years ever since I found him, I've never been to anyone else. S/O to JR and Mike they're cool and the shop has a great atmosphere. I've also gotten 3 piercings from here and they did great. I will never go to anyone else except James I'm in love with the 10+ tattoos he's put on my body, he's very creative and killer at shading. B&W for the win!!!!! read more

Okay, so I went today because I'm a 26 year old woman who has been afraid of ear piercings since it went wrong when I was 5. I have some scar tissue where my old piercings were, so I really felt it important to go to an expert. Boy did I! Ryan was super great. He talked me through everything because I was scared of needles. Perfectly described what he was doing and made sure to go light speed and precise to not hurt me. He talked me through aftercare, but the most incredible thing to me is that he said to come back after 2 months and let him check the healing rather than just moving on to different jewelry. Of all the things I experienced, that was by far the best! Who owns their work like that? Ryan does! If you're not used to the tattoo/piercing scene (like me, I tend to think of myself as a rather conservative, risk adverse person lol!) then Urban's is the place for you. They are aware of their clientele, and work to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Customer service is on POINT! Thanks guys! Heart emoji! read more

Found this place from yelp reviews and loved my experience. James was very patient when helping me with my cover up tattoo. I changed my mind several times and was very nervous. Everyone that works there is very friendly and artistic. I HIGHLY recommend them. It was a great experience and I'm absolutely in love with the new piece. I will be going back for sure . read more

At first this place would've had zero stars because the person who tattoos ( can't call him an artist) Eli basically upsold himself and did not deliver. I wanted a simple cover up with a lotus flower. The cover up was literally 3 inches long and .5 inch tall with small words. Not big at all. I asked him from the beginning was he good at cover ups. He said yes (which was not true) his Instagram looked decent but you can tell he doesn't do much cover ups. And that is ok, but as a business person and artist, be honest and say where you are not strong instead of lying and giving me a permanent Marking. So while he was tattooing, people would walk by and give him pointers and he just did not execute well at all. It literally felt like he was digging in my arm trying to add more and more ink. I asked him from the beginning to put his creative touch on it because I dont just want straight from the stencil. (No one draws in this place! There will be no sharpie's or originality. It will be straight from the computer to the stencil to your skin. ALMOST ALL THE "artist" from what I saw) while Eli was tattooing I kept waiting for him to give me some artistic originality. I kept waiting for this, as I watched him just follow the stencil. By the time I looked up the tattoo was done. My arm immediately swelled ridiculously and within a few days I went to urgent care because he had indeed scraped the top layer of my skin off in certain spots and it was infected. I immediately contacted the owner Junior and he told me to let him have a look in person. I can respect that he goes to bat for his artist and he may have not wanted to give me the satisfaction to my face of saying his artist fucked up. He made excuses saying that it was the cover up and my skin that caused the reaction not Eli digging and ripping apart my epidermis. (Yeah I have a medical background) . I loved that Junior took care of my tattoo and had his artist Damien look out for me. I went back in for my consult and told Damien I wanted my lotus Flower still but I can change it as well. He was doing a tattoo on someone else and just happened to be a chrysanthemum. He then tried to sell me an idea of the same flower he was doing on someone else. I wasn't feeling that. The day of my first appointment he had a different flower I'm not familiar with and a mandala underneath. I didn't like it, I then sent him my idea and he executed well. There was no creative aspect, it was literally the photo I had sent to him stenciled on. I didn't want a large tattoo at all but I got something that had meaning for me so I love it. Much better than my first experience with Eli. Damien also knew self care and when to give my skin a break which was a plus! He was great the entire time! It's Sad to cover up 2 little words I had to get a whole half sleeve pretty much! But I love it! read more

I went to Urban's South location yesterday for the first time and had a flat added to my left ear by Ryan (IG Handle @piercerryan) and I'm so glad I did! I've been going to the same piercing artist in CA for about 11-12 years now, but I recently moved to Texas, so going to someone new was honestly a bit nerve wracking. Ryan made it super easy! He's super nice, professional, clearly very knowledgeable (about piercings and jewelry), he makes sure you're comfortable and aware of what he's doing as he does it, AND he's a free hand piercer, so no uncomfortable clamps or anything! I was able to get a beautiful piece of high quality jewelry that I'm totally in love with, but I will say that (like any other Piercing studio that has a really good piercer on staff) their best stuff probably goes quick, so if you're looking for something in particular, you'll definitely want to give them a call to see what they have in stock and set up an appointment ASAP when they have what you want. Another thing I want to shout out, is that I called the day before to set up appointments with Ryan this coming weekend for myself and two other people, and I asked the girl who answered the phone if she could send me photos of their current inventory, AND SHE DID! Her name is Kaitlynn, and she was super nice and went above and beyond to be helpful! All in all, I'm really glad I went with Urban's South for my piercing! It was a great experience, and I'll definitely be going back, often! read more

It was my first tattoo and honestly I was scared out of my mind. I have bad anxiety but I've always wanted one so I said eff if I'm going for it My artist was Caleb cannon and let me tell you he did not disappoint. I told him ahead of time I have pretty bad anxiety and I'm pretty nervous. He was an absolute joy to work with. He made sure that it was exactly the way I wanted it and placed perfectly before we began (I have OCD so a little bit off would've drove me nuts) once we began he started to talk me through everything to help my anxiety and to be honest I almost felt none because he did a great job keeping me occupied. The work he did cake out exactly how I imagined and I'm thrilled. Looking forward to working with him again soon! read more

This tattoo shop is dope af and the cleanest one I have ever stepped into. The staff is so friendly funny and very welcoming.

Thank you so much for working with me on such short notice and making things happen. If your worried about going out in public because of the covid-19, you wont catch crap here but good vibes and great work! Support your local artist! read more

So, started off yesterday for ideas, wasn't 100% what I wanted done, as in ink. Have multiple tattoos, and ideas. Made an appointment for my wife, and myself. Told, directly, "I'll have something worked up by tomorrow." Me: "Cool, but if I dont like it, I'm not putting it on my body." "Okay, cool, " he says. Showed up early to get paperwork out of the way. My wife and I are no longer dealing with our original artists (who we specifically made the same appointment times with), being told we now need to make a down-payment for the art to be conceptualized. Sorry - not what I was told, or agreed to. I am not going to pay for something twice, not even once, if I don't like it. Do your job, and do it well, or screw off. If I could give this place a negative one star, I would. read more

I made an appointment, got there and was moved to later because some else had actually paid a deposit, first time I had heard about a deposit. So I put down a $100 deposit before I left and made another appointment. Same thing happened.

It is not my first tattoo,I got my deposit back and am going somewhere else. Ridiculous read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Came in to discuss jewelry on a 2 week old piercing, I don't know if it was because the bar was now too long because swelling went down drastically within the two weeks I've had it, or the jewelry I had was low quality (and unfortunately by the look of it, it seemed to be that way however I did get it from another local shop) both shops had great reviews, and I didn't have any other problems with the previous shop besides the Jewelry being a little funky, which can cause future problems. RYAN was the one who looked at my piercing, and instead of answering the questions I had, he decided to step out of his professional environment and put in very disrespectful input, and when asked about sizing of jewelry, his PROFESSIONAL input was "*sign* I GUESS*eyeroll*" because he felt that changing my jewelry (which keep in mind KEPT FALLING OUT!! would be a "dumb persons" ideal because taking the jewelry out would cause harm...which is true, but if it's a constant problem that the ball comes off, piercing comes out, constantly having to re-insert it, wouldn't it make more sense to put in a higher quality piece of jewelry? Being told "I guess" in a shop is unsettling, and having attitude on top of that is just annoying. Save yourself the annoyance and go somewhere else. The reviews on this place are OVER-RATED!!! read more

I am new to getting piercings done properly (not at Claire's), and both Ryan and his apprentice were very patient and knowledgeable when answering all of the questions that I had.

They really know what they're doing here, and I will be recommending them to all of my friends. read more

Good environment, clean. Mike M. Is a good dude, who does good work, but is very unreliable. Wanted to get some work done, and he pretty much ghosted me unless I called the shop directly. Told me he would help me find someone else to do the work I requested cause he didn't have the tools to do so. 3 weeks and about every 4 days tried to get an update, yet he never once replied to my texts- unless I call the shop. Told him I was going to another shop, and how funny he replied In less than 20 minutes. Good shop, if you're going to go here then okay, but don't go to Mike M. Due to the fact that you'll never know what you're going to get. My 2 star reflects the individual, not the shop. Although he works there so take this as you will, they did hire the guy after all... read more
