This varies with the tattoo you choose, expect to spend around an hour for most average size designs, consult with your artist beforehand to discuss time frame and pricing. Yes, custom tattooing is offered at no extra charge to the client however most artists will require a small deposit which goes toward the tattoo when it's done.

If you’re planning on getting a tattoo, I’m telling you 100% this is the place to go. My artist was Dennis and he aced this tattoo. He was a great guy, joked around and took care of business, I can’t recommended Dennis or this tattoo shop more, it’s the best. The entire store makes you feel at home, they have a theatre room, snacks, drinks, whatever you need. All of the staff are extremely friendly and make you feel like family. Tattoo’s or piercings this is the place to get it done.

Myself & two others came here to get pierced by Cody. We were all blown away with his knowledge, professionalism & attention to detail. Both of my piercings have healed nicely & I feel like the placement is perfect. The shop is clean & the whole staff was incredibly friendly. 10/10 would recommend coming here for piercings & tattoos. We will certainly be back soon!

If you are looking to get a piercing, you cannot find a better place. This tattoo studio was recommended by a close friend who recently got her nose pierced. I have always wanted to have my nose pierced but felt apprehensive because of pain and fear of infection. When I met Cody, who is an absolutely AMAZING professional, I felt that I wouldn’t change my mind in the last minute. He explained in details how my experience would be; knowing what to expect helps putting your mind at ease. He chose the best location for the piercing, made sure that it was well prepared to avoid infection and guaranteeing

My partner and I went in for walk-in tattoos. We were able to get a consultation and start our tattoos very quickly! Daniel did an amazing job on my partner’s piece and was very kind and honest about not being comfortable with a specific style I wanted, but was able to refer me to another amazing artist at the studio, Chucky. I found that very respectable. Chucky was very fun to get tattooed by and mind blowingly talented at what he does. Daniel did the beautiful butterfly piece, and Chucky did the glowing lightning one. Absolutely will return and get pieces from them and other artists, as they

The shop was incredibly clean and Cody did an excellent job - not to mention that the price was completely fair! I loved that he gave me his honest opinion about what was and wasn't possible during my appointment, as well as the fact that he made me feel so comfortable while having such an intimate piercing done. Grade A, 100% professional service. The free snacks and video games while I waited were definitely an added bonus. Will be back again for my next piercings and will definitely recommend to others!

My friend and I went to this tattoo parlor for the first time so that we could get matching tattoos. Everyone there was very friendly. Rocky who did my tattoo did an amazing job and was very helpful and friendly. I felt at ease immediately and I love the new tattoo! I would definitely go again.

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

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!!!!!

I’ve previously gotten my nose pierced here and finally got a tattoo! My artist was Rocky and I’m super happy how everything turned out. Everyone at the shop was super inviting and friendly, and the process was made easy & simple. He totally made the design come to life and is berry, berry good 🍓🍓🍓😁

Got my back tattoo done in 4sessions (and a short touch up session after everything was filled in) with Caleb. Loved his art style so I picked him for the job. He wasn't heavy handed and was always making sure I was doing alright and if I needed a break to just say so. Was also extremely helpful with recovery and taking my bandage off a couple days after a session. Everyone else that worked there was also nice and welcoming all the time. I will 100% be going back for any future tattoo's I will want.

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

The atmosphere in this shop is amazing; I have crazy social anxiety but felt pretty comfortable with my artist, Chucky, and all of the others in the shop. The shop interior is super cool with amazing eclectic art. Solid music, TVs to distract from the feeling of being stabbed by tiny needles repeatedly.
This portrait is in honor of my best friend of ten years who crossed the rainbow bridge, and is incredibly important to me. Chucky absolutely crushed it, it is everything I was hoping for and more. Will 100% be using this shop for all of my tattoos moving forward.

I get compliments every single day on the color wheel tattoo that Eric did for me. I love this shop. The staff and artists are outstanding, friendly, and welcoming. Will definitely use again!! I went back to the studio today, so my daughter could get a helix piercing. I was nervous, but I trusted the shop. Cody did such an outstanding of job!! He kept her calm, and the piercings turned out beautifully. I will definitely be back again!!

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

Best piercing experience ever! I had an appointment with Ryan today to get several ear piercings done. 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. I was so scared that the pain would be unbearable, but Ryan is so fast and professional that I barely felt it when he pierced my ears. They really know what they're doing here, and I will be recommending them to all of my friends.

I was initially scheduled with Cody for a piercing however that went poorly at the north location and I almost gave up but the manager was phenomenal and helped me get in with Ryan at the south location. I can not praise Ryan enough for being so incredibly kind and helpful. He walked me through everything, distracted me during and did such an amazing job. I would recommended Ryan over and over again if asked. There isn't enough praise in the world for how great he is.

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

Cody Loman was incredible when it came to getting my piercing. Hands down, the least painful piercing I've gotten and majority of that came down to the environment he creates for you the moment you enter his piercing room. Everything made me feel like the entire experience was about me loving what I'm getting.

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

This tattoo shop is dope af and the cleanest one I have ever stepped into. The staff is so friendly funny and very welcoming.
I contacted this place spontaneously one day at work and spoke with Elijah, he got me in pretty fast and efficiently. When I arrived, he had the tattoo drawn up and ready to go. 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!

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.

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

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

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.
