Stay away!!!! i have been twice and each time both of my friends left in so much pain from the piercing the first time was dagos daughter she has black hair and pale white skin like literally paper white  she pierced my friends ear terribly wrong blood everywhere i could see the fear in her eyes when she realized she messed up. Clearly she didn't have to train being daddy's girl with 7 kids. (Yea she said that herself)  the second time this short Mexican with braids at the time did my friends dermal after he was digging in her body for extended time she tried to tap out but he said no like wtf then he kept going and still couldn't get it in mind you he's twisting scissors in her chest. (Yes i know that you have to instal the piercing this way but it was extensive and very long) so he finally gave up and my friend walks out balling ! She has a huge hole in the middle of your chest. Go somewhere else it's not worth the 1$ luckily i got a video of their very insensitive response he said she was moving to much that was a lie! spread the word that place is dangerous and both times there was no apology! If you don't believe me and want the video comment and I'll send my instagram where it's posted. I will never be back Read Less

Walked In and it had a strong smell of pinesol which I didn't really mind, the vibe is ghetto like. I got a belly piercing and Amber didn't disinfect the area and didn't mark it either. It ended up being crooked and infected. Read Less

my friends and I drove an hour to get some piercings. 4/5 of us got piercings(2 nose and and 3 helix piercings between us all). When we walked in we were a little confused on where to go and who to talk to but shortly after a lady called us over to sign in. She was very polite, funny, and answered all of our questions. We went on Wednesday at around 2 a.m. and all basic piercings were a 1$(unless you previously had a nose piercing it was 5$). Once we signed in we sat down and and waited about 5 mins till we were called.  A lady who's name I forgot was gave me a nose piercing. She had me clean off the area and then pierced it in the blink of an eye. She was quick clean and efficient. She switched gloves between every piercing. My friends and I were done in less then 10 mins. Overall. The staff is friendly. Parking is limited. Worth all of our money. Only giving it 4 stars because of the cleanliness. Read Less

My friends and I go here every once in a while for $1 Wednesday's. We've always had a relatively short wait for how busy it is and have always felt safe. There has never been any smell or problems with the establishment. The place is old so it looks a bit dingy. All of us were asked for IDs and signed the agreement forms. We were all asked to initial the sterilization pack our needles and jewelers were in. I've had my second holes and two cartilage piercings done by them and never had an infection. Friends have had cartilage, second and third holes and industrials done here with not problems Read Less

I went to get my piercings for my ears with my friend and I got my helix ear pierced on both sides and let mw say they were NOT even close to even at all. Not only that but the person who didn't even "mark it" because he/she didn't believe in it. Not only that my ear is bleeding still days after and I have the after care... so unprofessional and not worth it even for the price Read Less

This would be the BEST place to come to if their customer service hadn't been unprofessional as it gets. The lady at the front desk and her fellow co-workers had been talking about their clients. Horrific right ? I know! Then began snapping at my friend for simply setting her belongings down. Who treats customers like that. Amber you need to work on how you talk to people working in a place of business. That way you don't put potential clientele in defensive mode. If you want to be treated less than and talked down upon they'll do just that! Read Less

Went to $1 piercing Wednesdays last week. Isn't expect much for the price. Had to wait over an hour and a half (number 96.) Lots of visibly pregnant girls getting pierced, and the whole place had a cheap, dirty vibe. Counter girls were understandably pissed off and agitated with the amount of people and traffic in the parking lot. Parked at Fiesta down the street and Ubered here. The piercer didn't even tell me what gauge she was using to pierce my nose. She used sterile gloves and needles, etc. It was not my first piercing, so I knew what to check for in terms of sterilization. Cheap and dirty place with lots of flash tattoos on the wall. Nose is healing wonderfully. Even though the piercer didn't even use a marker to gauge the spot to be pierced. Painless and fast. I asked her why, and she said "people with cute button noses pierce real easily." That was a plus. Read Less

My experience at dagos has always been lovely until today. Instead of being asked NICELY to not eat in the shop the white girl there cussed my friend out, being disrespectful and decided to get the daughter of the owner to kick us out who was ALSO rude af, Not once were we addressed in a respectful, pleasant way. The two caucasian females there are extremely rude, filthy and unprofessional Read Less

The tattoo I got there was ok, you get what you pay for and this place is cheap you can't expect quality work from those who don't look like they even want to be there. The guy that did my tattoo had me sign the package that it was new needles he was using etc. the problem I had with this place is the piercer. She pierced my belly wrong then told me it's the way my belly button goes and I was like um no repierce it so it's not going in my shit sideways she used THE SAME NEEDLE, didn't sanitize the spots she was piercing or the needle she just used to pierce my belly twice because she fucked it up. like wtf does she have any experience at all? Then I got my bar bell on my ear both piercings got infected even tho I bought their cheap ass over priced cleaning shit. Sometimes paying more for better quality EVERYTHING is worth it.  I've gotten work done here over a month ago, I wouldn't fw this place on Wednesday i can only imagine the infections you get from the $1 piercings. And the owners daughter was being high key insecure about her tattoo artists she only wanted me to talk to one guy when I wanted to look around at their work before I chose an artist. Read Less

This is the most disgusting place I've ever been to, their staff is really rude especially the ladies and it reeks with a nasty strong smell. The place doesn't look clean at all, I wouldn't recommend it I walked straight out from that dirty place. Read Less

I had to give one star wish I could give negative stars. If your value your health saftey and appearance please stay away from this shop! My son is living walking proof no one in there knows what they are doing. Two hideous tattoos and ear piercings that are having to heal closed due to the fact they are on the bottom of his earlobe! The only reason to visit this shop is if you're up late on a meth binge! Along with the employees. I seriously question the validity of the positive reviews I read.BEWARE!!! Read Less

Let me start off by saying the parking is horrible, vehicles were parked so close to each other. Walked in and it was packed , the environment felt filthy and uncomfortable. Stood In line just to get an attitude from a lady that works there , signing the paper all I received was rude talking when all I was doing was asking a simple question. The seats to wait were hard and very uncomfortable. When I got my piercing the same lady told me to take off my glasses in a unkind way, she didn't let me see where she pierced it , she just went ahead and pierced my nose without letting me know. Wouldn't recommend anyone to come here. Read Less

I got my belly,nose and nipples pierced here in March. If you follow the cleaning and care directions, there shouldn't be any issues. It was $1 Wednesday and the wait was kind of long, but me and 3 other girls I went with was out within an hour Read Less

Salty b/c I got my smiley piercing at Dago's and they put a FREAKING septum ring in it. The ring was HUGE in my mouth and made me look like I literally had braces. When I saw he was going to be putting such a big piece in my piercing I asked if I could have a smaller one and he said it would be EXTRA. Why tf would it be more money for a smaller piece?! Am I the only one who would think that a smaller amount of surgical steel=lesser cost¿?¿???I paid $23.50 including the ATM fee which isn't much for a piercing but im pretty sure home boy was just too lazy or didn't want to be bothered with having to try to put in the smaller ring seeing as how it's easier just to put bigger rings into piercings :-) From now on I will spend my money at a shop that gives good customer service! BOOM BISHHHH!!!!! Read Less

Got to say this was by far the worse ghetto place ever. These people really make the term you get what you pay for more than true. Smells like dog droppings. Staff is completely rude and unprofessional. I’m sure all of them where on drugs. Place is not sterile and the piercings are botched. If you want to get hepatitis and be cheap with your ink and piercings go here! Read Less

The worst tattoo establishment I've ever set foot it. Simply went in just to see it. It reaks of piss and vomit when you walk in and is dark through out the whole place. Stripper poles and makeshift bongs in the back were good for a laugh. The porta-potty out front  is a wonderful touch and a great first impression. This place is notorious for dishing out infections and god knows what else. The owner hires anyone who can hold a tattoo machine so go for it if your a rockstar. This place is just an eyesore and seriously needs to be shut down. Anyone who gets tattoos or piercings here really should have their head checked. Go to a professional shop instead, you'll be happy you did Read Less

The younger girl who works in there who pierces she does not know what she is doing and is really rough i always get my piercings here from a guy and it goes so smooth he is very personable as well she was not. I would advise everyone to go at night when the guy is working not the girl in the day!! Read Less

2nd time at this place..1st time no complaints at all. But when I visited yesterday on 6/20/18 it was absolutely disgusting to watch the Mexican lady that was piercing eat and drink at her station in between piercing clients. She never washed her hands. Only wiped hands with paper towel and slid on a new pair of gloves. Not once did i see her sanitize the area that she was piercing ..I guess that didnt bother no one else or no one else paid attention to it..I just left, never got my piercing. Now I see why this place has high reputation with people getting infections; to allow that type of behavior at your place of business makes me never want to return Read Less

Dagos is of course known for their dollar piercings on Wednesday’s. I’ve gotten two piercings there personally and plenty of friends I have gone with me. Never had an infection from any piercings! Only gave four stars because of the wait time. Which wasn’t bad bad but I do recommend getting there early. Read Less

The woman who answers the phone (when she chooses to answer it) is rude and needs to work on communication skills. Turned off by the poor customer service. I guess they don’t care about potential business since they can’t answer simple questions. Read Less

I got my piercings here. Because of the location, they took a long time to heal. But I love them. The lady that pierced me took her time. Let me breathe through it and everything. Everyone was super nice even though it was packed bc it was a Wednesday ($1 piercings). No regrets, I loved it here! Read Less

Absolutely one of the best atmospheres to get my tattoos done..as a Veteran I'm very selective about where I park it for my errands or anything that I do in my life..since I was ready for my ink art and work to start happening I shopped around for prices and how everything was,most importantly the personnel..and this was the place.going back to get the rest of my work done their a little at a time,thx guys.. Freedom Rocks.. Read Less

We went for their special $1 piercing Wednesdays. My girlfriend decided to get her tongue pierced. I'm not going to lie, for $1, I didn't expect much. Especially after walking into the small shop that was overcrowded and a little dirty. I definitely had my doubts. The staff was real and pretty blunt, but they were also really funny!Of course with this kind of special, there was a bit of a wait. So while we were waiting we decided to look at the artwork posted on the walls. They had the generic pieces but they also had some incredible pieces that completely blew me away with the amount of detail and artistry. The wait didn't take very long at all (it was much shorter than I expected especially with the amount of people there)--they were really quick and everyone was talking about how their piercings didn't even hurt and they all looked great! My girlfriend has next to no pain and loves her new tongue piercing.All in all, great price and great facility--would've gotten 5 stars if their cleanliness would've been there. We're thinking about getting tattoos in the future and I'm thinking the employees at Dago's will probably see us again! Read Less

This place might not be the best when it comes to appearances, but I can say I will recommend it.  Took my daughter to get a piercing to a westhiemer location and the guy there didn't even want to help.  I was going to pay $75 for a nose piercing Took my daughter and my daughter in law to Dago's paid $11 for two piercings.  The staff was actually nice and polite.  If you take a minor take the birth certificate.  Don't let the place scare you Read Less

The lady with the pink hair pierced my nipples and she was so fast and percise. She was very sweet and made me feel less scared. The people were so nice. Would recommend to everyone. Prices are great too... The only downfall is the my right piercing is a little off, but not totally noticable unless yourey starring at my nipples. Read Less

This place is great. Piercer David is super fast and thorough when putting in your piercings. $1 dollar Wednesday is packed, so expect to wait an hour or so, but if you're patient, think about the amount of money you're saving. I'm trying to understand why the piercer aspect of this place has gotten negative reviews, but my piercings were sterilized and the piercer makes small talk and makes sure you're comfortable and that the piercing is straight and where you want it. You get more than what you pay for. You might get a few dirty looks here and there if you're alternative or goth dressed, but other than the mild discomfort from other customers, I'm totally returning for more! Read Less

Dagos is not the best looking place nor it is the most appealing but it's a tattoo and piercing place it does what it does. I've only gotten piercings here and it's my go to place for them. It's a very quick process, there's one certain Hispanic guy that has always done my piercings and he is very experienced he's very quick with putting any piercing in and which makes it a quick pain but I would recommend this place for piercings and they are super cheap! $1 piercing on Wednesday's but still cheap even without the special payed $25 for three ear piercings and I didn't go on a Wednesday. They only accept cash but they do have an atm on site. A lot of people complain about infections but it's really your responsibility for the after care of your piercing which no matter where you go it's your responsibility they do offer piercing after care for $10! Read Less

Had a very good experience here and the tattoo artist Larry did an amazing job on both my tattoos! I love them both and can't wait to get more done by him. So glad I picked this place for the price and quility work done! Read Less

Tommy's very talented and just a great guy. He did an awesome job on my tattoos. My hubby got one from him this weekend from Tommy for the first tine. He was so impressed with his work he'll be going back to him from now on. Everyone there has always been so nice. Read Less

A MUST do while in Houston! Decent prices for simple tattoos... The atmosphere is “typical” as far as tattoo shops goes! Surprisingly organized as well considering the volume of customers they have on the weekends! Separate lines for tattoos and piercings, the piercing line was WAY faster though (duh). I got two tattoos, if you’re a lady you get a free “basic” tattoo when you get a tattoo that’s at least $20. And by “basic” I do mean BASIC and SMALL. But you can’t beat free! Larry was my tattoo artist and he was friendly and quick! I was in and out of the chair within 15-25 minutes for both tattoos! The wait was about an hour or so but that’s to be expected for late Saturday night. I will definitely return to this H-Town staple! Read Less

Now listen, if you want a decent tattoo, I wouldn't say this is the place to go. I've had a couple done here that just look like I stumbled into the tattoo shop half drunk. Ya know? To the point, I went to get my nose pierced because they were $1! Who wants to miss that, they guy who did it was quick and made it painless. I didn't catch his name . He had piercings and a black ponytail, maybe in his mid to late 20's. He did my friends first and after I seen how quick he moved I was ready for my turn! Definitely worth the 4 quarters . We did have to wait a little bit it was no biggie. There's a pole in there entertain yourself!! Ha Read Less

I got a bar in my ear and The lady that pierced it went threw all of my ear to put the bar in ! I noticed because my skin was growing over the bar and I was wondering why it hurted so much and was taking forever to heal !!! Read Less

I got my nose pierced at Dagos for $5, the guy didn't let my sister go in the room with me and he didn't even talk to me at all. Before even sticking the needle in I told him I had makeup and asked if he was even going to wipe it off? He got annoyed and got some alcohol and a wipe and took it off in 1 swipe, then he just stuck the needle in. The whole process literally took like 2 minutes. Overall the place is dirty and it's not a good environment. Yes it was cheap and yes 6 months later I still have my piercing in but I should of just gone somewhere else. Later on fb I read someone got really sick after getting a tattoo from that place, just don't go there. Read Less

This review is long overdue..I went to get an cartilage piercing on my ear last month and now it's currently pussing and most likely infected. If I could I wouldn't even give them 1 star. Can't believe this place is as unsanitary as it is but, I should've known from appearance. Read Less

Because of my boy switch. He's their best artist to me hands hand ten toes down and both thumbs up. He never disappoint me. Ask for switch when you go get tattoos. He gives you no less than the art you're asking for. Read Less

Some people say it's a "bad" place but it's not at all. They've done the majority of my tattoos and they do hell of a good job. Professional, fast, affordable and sanitary. They're the only ones I trust after I've gotten a bad worked tattoo somewhere else. Read Less

I've gotten two sleeves almost completed at Dagos. Also a nose piercing. I love this place. The staff is made up of great people and they are extremely personable. most reasonable prices I've ever seen on piercing and tattoos for the quality period. I love dagos Read Less

These people are very rude for no reason at all. Very unprofessional and the place is dirty! They make the customers use a port potty outside. They talk to people so rough as if they are doing you a favor when you're paying them YOUR money so they could a bit more professional. My tattoo was done by German, he was nice but it wasn't what I asked for although it looks nice. I won't be back. I could understand if I were rude or acting up but this wasn't the case....they're just rude unhappy people! I got my first piercing here years ago and don't remember it being this way, I was totally shocked yesterday! There are too many places that do great tats and have exceptional customer service, don't waste your time with these hoodrats!!! Read Less

I went here because I loved the running cigarette tattoo I saw online. My friend biv really loved the running cigarette tattoo too. My friend Kirsten also really liked the running cigarette tattoo and she likes Tupac. My friend CK1 never really talks about the running cigarette tattoo. I also have a friend named sherry. Read Less

Dagos is amazing, I absolutely love coming here! I never have to wait to long, especially for piercings, & staff is super awesome and very friendly. I've had almost every tattoo on my body done at Dagos. No complaint ever, the artwork is great and I'm a very happy customer. Read Less

Rude ; unprofessional; ghetto . A guy with a damn turban on his head was rude / ghetto/ dumb/ and obnoxious alll of the above . They had a newborn baby in where at 3:00am. Packed like a welfare office . I ended up not getting anything . I will keep going to real artist for my tAttoos, cuz this place is trash !!!! No restrooms only port-a-potty", And it was beyond filthy . I got out of there ASAP! Read Less

I've had my nose pierced at Dagos 6xs and recently got my nipples done .. Gracie is always my choice she's super sweet and made my nipple piercing completely painless! Dago is always a pleasure to be around and is very informative and helpful wen it comes to aftercare even after you leave you can call n if he's there he'll tell you step by step and products you can use to promote proper healing even if you didn't purchase their solution Read Less

Honestly, my septum piercing was pieced with the wrong tools [found out later on] and it was CRAZY CROOKED. on the brighter side, customer service was good they just lacked a piercer. ‍I know nothing about there tattoos, but my husband will not get one here.. Very basic work Read Less

Got my nose pierced here by DAVID, he was a super cool guy and when I told him I always get nervous with needles, he kept conversation with me and made me feel more in ease. Definitelyyy recommend him!! Read Less

I got my nipples pierced by DAVID the first time and he did an amazing job! I had a crazy night and woke up the next morning with only one nipple ring. I came back to same location to get the one nipple done again by DAVID and I am happy I did! Ask for David - always! Read Less

Before going here you really need to educate yourself first and know what you're getting into lol. I'll be honest this place is on the ratchet side...... BUT... if you are going for a simple tattoo it should be fine. It is cheap. They did a great job on mine and it's been a few years now. Although it was a fairly simple design. Everyone was nice and friendly. I guess it's up to you to judge. Good luck lol Read Less

Called to see what was required for a belly button pierced and got called " Dumbass " so I called back and asked if I had heard correctly and he said " Yeah so what if I called you a dumbass, I'll call you a dumbass" and hung up Didn't know it was cool for grown men to talk to an underage girl like that? Read Less

Got my belly button pierced here on $1 Wednesday over a year ago and it is completely healed. My piercing actually healed pretty quickly and it only hurt the first day but a few pain meds helped. Some people mention that their belly button piercings hurt when they change the ring but mine is completely pain free. I plan on coming here for more affordable piercings in the future. It's best to go when 18 though, I went when 17 and had to have a lot of paper work. I believe the total was $3 because you had to pay for the paper work, jewelry, and service. No more than $5, for sure! The only thing I could say is the man who pierced my belly button wasn't so friendly, he didn't ask me anything, count, say I'm not going to feel anything, ask me if that's where I wanted it, he just stuck it in. Also there isn't much parking so get there early or you'll be on the freeway. But I can't complain, it was better than spending $60. Read Less

Love this place...affordable, talented artists, never been disappointed.  I've gotten 12 of my 17 tattoos here.  Always get exactly what I ask for.  I'll be back for more ink soon!  Rudy just recently did a hemsa on my leg and made it personal to me.  Most definitely my favorite tat.  Keep up the great work guys Read Less

ALMOST DIED FROM INFECTED PIERCING!!!Fuuuuuuuuuuck Dagos!!! I have surgical scars and hospital bills bc i stupidly went to this dirty, hoodass butcher shop for a cheap piercing. Ladies....i almost lost a breast to mastitis (look it up) bc of Dagos. Do NOT GAMBLE WITH YOUR BODY BY GOING HERE. If you LOVE your self...do better and go to a reputable shop. Read Less

Ok, so, this review is 2 years overdue. But it is just as relevant. I went to Dagos because i had only been in houston a few months and had no idea where to go. A friend of mine had gotten a few small tattoos done there. They all appeared to be good work. So i went. I was discouraged when i walked in. This is such an unkept shop. The opposite of what a tattoo shop should look like. I wish, with everything in me that i would have followed my gut instinct and just left. But i decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. There was so many people there. I thought, how bad could it be if its always busy? WRONG. i wanted a poem. Yes the whole thing. They wanted to charge me anywhere from 600-800 depending on the artist i talked to. Which i thought was crazy. It was just words. No shading, no other images. Just words. One guy says, ill do it for $300. Caution lights should have gone off, but didn't... this guy insists on doing it in his own handwriting. Seriously, insists. Until i was just like, fine, ill see how u do it... and we'll decide. I was so tired. Then i look over it first, and he has mispelled a few words ( i had already printed it out for him to look at word for word). So i have him fix that. Then, he just cant place it. Takes almost an hour. Get the tattoo done (on my side), and im so exhausted that afterwards i had my gf take the picture and took off shortly after. In the car ride as soon as we take off i am examining the photo only to find out that this ignorant, illiterate, a**hole STILL MISPELLED THE WORDS I HAD CORRECTED!! AND FORGOT ALL PUNCTUATION IN THE POEM! i freak out and immediately call the shop which goes straight to the owners of the shop's house. I start screaming and crying about how this is permanent! And i paid $300... how could she employ people who cant even spell! Or copy!? Thats what they do for a damn living! Wtf! She tells me to go straight back and she is going to have the "master artist" "fix" it.. and im like how the f*ck do you fix permanent? So there i was, getting my entire side done for the second time, back to back. Painful? Yes. As hes redoing it, the idiot who screwed in comes in to look in and doesnt even have the damn decency to apologize, give me my money back, nothing! Just says "ohh, i messed up?" And after he walks away the "master artist" says, "i knew i shouldnt have let him do this tattoo" and im like.. what? If you knew he wasnt capable, why is he doing this!? Why dont you warn customers who are here looking for beautiful, memeorable work to be done?? He then says, "i gotta give my guys a chance"... well how about you let him screw up your skin then..Like.. what are you high on dude? You do a job where you put permanent, memorable, important things on people. How dare u not take it seriously.. Im sure work ethic matters when you go see your doctor Doesn't it? After the second go over, i just leave. Angry and sad. And never went back. I look at my tattoo that takes up my entire side everyday in disappointment...they have managed to ruin something i wanted so bad for so long.. so. Follow your instincts, and just GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! i cant believe this place still stands. The "artists" are not even nice or friendly to top it ALL off! Save yourself the disappointment and go to a real shop, with real artists who take pride in their work. Read Less

For everyone that's getting a $1 piercing, and saying "Oh, well. If it gets infected, at least it was cheap." I'm sorry but, you won't be saying that after you get HIV or something horrible from these unsanitary needles. I haven't gotten anything done here, because of all the other horrible reviews. Please do your research before making a rash decision... Read Less

Wednesday $1 piercings are the bomb.com. Totally worth it. I got a 3 piercings. My second ear holes and my cartilage on the left side. My friend got her belly button. In my opinion even if the piercing were to get infected or not work out I would only be wasting a dollar. After we went it and signed all the necessary paper work, we sat down and waited for the guy to call our number. We waited about 30 minutes and when it was our turn me and my friend got pierced in under 10 minutes. Our piercer was fast and efficient. If I were to come back I would want him to do it again. Read Less

Ok. So, I took my best friend for her birthday to get matching tat's. It was buy one get one free, and we each paid $20. So I mean, it was totally a "You get what you pay for" thing. I get that. I wouldn't come here again, though. First, we found out that it "Had to be" a tattoo from a few pages posted on the wall. Well, frankly, I pitched a fit. Because fck no. This is on MY arm forever. Sorry. I don't need to pick something out from your cheesy list. I didn't read anything about that on your FB, and I drove 40 minutes to get here, soooo, no. We got matching tats. Two words, "just be" I guess, for tattoos, they charge by the word? Like, each word is a different tattoo, which makes almost no sense to me, considering it was smaller than most of the other "premade" tattoos they had there. We both got different artists. She got a pretty nice guy, who joked around. I got a guy who would NOT listen. We wanted to get them in each other's handwriting. We'd spent all day re-writing them, until we finally got them EXACTLY right. I've had other tats where they just did the whole tracing paper thing. That's what I'd hoped for. But not this guy! FIRST, he completely didn't look at the paper I handed him. Tried to do it in gangsta-ass old English. No. I had him redo it a mess of times. Sorry, I'm totally anal about it, it's there forever. If he'd just payed attention, it would have been fine. My best friend's artist got hers right first try. She was in 10 minutes before me, and hers came out great. She even bought another tat from her guy. She was done 10 minutes before I was. I got the worst guy.  I swear. Eventually we got the handwriting right. He blew out some of the line work, f*cked up a lot of the lettering. But whatever.I actually do love my tattoo, because it was really special. But if I could do it over, and go somewhere else, I would. I mean, the whole meaning of the tat was to just let go, and just be whatever you are. So I guess it's pretty poetic, that it's kind of screwy. But never again. Read Less

I have gotten a Monroe piercing and a tattoo from Dago's. True, the place is ghetto. And true there are long lines of semi unruly people. The parking is horrible (non existent) and its not the nicest part of town. That being said, I went here for a tattoo and a piercing so, I'm not too concerned with aesthetics. The piercing was done very professionally and correctly. It look less than a minute, cost me a dollar, and was my favorite thing about my face. When I got my tattoo, I walked in with a letter A on my wrist and left with something really cool that cost me $30. When I got the letter A, I went to a parlor off Montrose and THAT cost me $30.The tattoo has held up well over time. I went in with a rough idea of what I wanted and the artist took it a step further and gave me something I love. Read Less

There are tons of reviews saying that they use used needles, well this is not true at all. The needles are new and come out of new packaging. The piece that goes into the machine is used, but they are packaged b/c they were autoclaved(sterilized). Now, I did get a bad tattoo from a so-called artist named Tommy-the same person from 'SPELLING BEE REVIEW' (who was busy flirting + talking to everyone instead of paying attention) but once I brought Tommy's mistakes to the attention of the owner himself, my tattoo was immediately fixed by an artist who took his time to correct my bad tat. I am now a very satisfied customer. Yes, the place is crowded depending on the time you go, parking is tight, but the staff are friendly and you can't beat the price($80 for a large tat), no matter where you go in Houston. I will return. Read Less

It is ok. Not the best hygene but I got good service. I got my first nose pierce and my first tattoo here. I now have three tattoos and theirs was the best one. The only bad thing about it is that it is always packed with ghetto people. I would recommend it if you know what you want. I will go back there to get my other tattoos fixed. Read Less

If you want scar tissue and want to have to pay a lot more money to have it covered, I would never go here... I went in by accident (the sign that says ladies free should have given it away) these people don't know what a tattoo is unless is prison work... watch out for staff infection! Read Less

i went to dagos three months ago for my first tattoo and well... its ok. i was really excited but really nervous. it smelled like a doctors office so it was pretty clean. the artist was nice. at first. i got a lotus flower. he didnt listen to me. he the flower WAY bigger then i asked for and to high on my neck. after a while the artist was really rude and got impatient with me really fast. but you get what you pay for which isnt really all that much. just make sure you know exactly where your going and who's the one giving you your tattoo. especially if its your first.

This place is full of drugs, and gang members. The owner is a run a way Hells Angel who still thinks he is in th 70's, so be very careful, you will probably get more than a tattoo at this place. The tattoos are still unqualified, the hygene is still nasty, and the place is still the most ghetto tattoo shop in Houston! A.T.F., and the D.E.A.!!! Where are you! Read Less

This place is one of the cheapest place in the entire Houston area for piercings. I went in thinking it wasnt gonna be that great or clean, but i was suprised to find that it was actuallly really clean, they explain everything to you before hand and and the piercings are so cheap that the girl who doe them is really quick and knows alot....also i highly recommend you by the piercing solution, it works better that anything else you could put on them Read Less
