“I just had my first tattoo laser removal session with Josh. He made me feel comfortable and welcome the moment I walked through the door. I already have my next 2 sessions scheduled. I highly recommend his tattoo shop.“

“Blessed hands! Jackson Lamar is the best out there in the industry when it comes to sculpting eyebrows using permanent makeup. He was gentle, patient, and very thorough.
Jackson is truly a gem!! I am so estatic and completely in love with my eyebrows. It truly does enhance my eyes and facial features. I highly recommend Jackson and his team to provide top notch services to all of their clients.“

“First tattoo from Craig Ellis and really appreciated the patience and excellent service. Thank you! I will be back“

“Got my first nose piercing from Rina! She was very professional and explained the process and after care thoroughly! Took less than 10 minutes! Definitely recommend!“

“Went in for an underboob/torso piece with Em. I had sent her a few inspo pics that were pretty, but not well done, and we discussed my hopes during our consult. Y'all, Em knocked it out of the damn park. She showed me the full colour finished pice and it was SO beautiful, way beyond what I had hoped. The day of was really laid back and chill: we chatted a bit about odd tattoos she's done and the worst places to get one. Well lucky me, I picked a pretty painful part but she was as gentle as she could possibly be. We took breaks, her for food and me for coffee, and get about 95% done in 1 full day session. She booked me for my touch up that same day and said there would be no charge for the time since she quoted what she quoted, but I'm happily going to pay her hourly rate plus top for her time. Em herself is very down to earth and chill, open to your feedback and tweaking things to get exactly what you want. Mike from the front desk is cool as hell, and the space is very well lit and exceptionally clean. Other artists popped by while we were working and loved her vision of what I wanted. Overall a 15/10 experience and I'm even finding more art that I want Em to do now.“

“I had an amazing experience at Gold Dust Tattoos, one of the top shops in Dallas. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed—the shop doubles as an art gallery, with beautiful paintings on the walls, and even features custom leather bags designed by Char McGaughy, the owner and artist. Both the artwork and bags are available for purchase, making the space truly unique.

I scheduled a consultation with Char to discuss the tattoo I wanted, including the size and placement. She was an excellent listener, suggested a few thoughtful changes, and encouraged me to share my feedback. A few days before my appointment, she sent me the updated drawing, which I absolutely loved.

On the day of my tattoo, Char was fully prepared and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, which took just over two hours. She was professional, thoughtful, and reassuring from start to finish.

Overall, the experience was incredible—I walked away more than pleased with the final result. Gold Dust Tattoos is not just a tattoo shop, it’s an inspiring creative space and gallery. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Char and her team!

“My tattoo artist, Dominik at Davis Street Tattoo, completely transformed old tattoos I was embarrassed about and gave me a leg piece I’m proud of. The shop has an awesome vibe near Bishop Arts, and the semi-private work areas make it super comfortable. Can’t recommend them enough!

My tattoo artist is better than yours! lol“

“Mars is an exceptional piercer and I wouldn't go to anyone else! They pierced my 6 year olds ears and explained the entire process in a way he understood. He didn't even flinch! Mars really goes above and beyond to make sure their clients are comfortable, answers their questions, and they have the best experience. Can't recommend Mars and the entire studio enough!!“

“Reid was so great! Loved him will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends super quick, painless and professional made the whole experience comfortable thank you lucky you tattoo!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Heather. She’s been helping me clean up and transform a bad tattoo into something I’m finally proud to wear, and the difference is night and day. Her attention to detail and skill level are unmatched—she doesn’t just “cover up” work, she truly restores it and makes it better than I thought possible.

Beyond her talent as an artist, Heather is just an all-around awesome human. She’s patient, encouraging, and really takes the time to listen to what you want. Every session feels comfortable, and she has a way of making the experience fun while still being super professional.

If you’re looking for someone who not only has the technical skill to fix or create beautiful tattoos but also the heart to make the whole process a positive experience, Heather is the one. I’m grateful I found her and can’t recommend her highly enough!“
