What a great experience! My best friend and I got matching, floral tattoos by Jorge. He was incredibly nice, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. I also appreciate that he communicated with us during the process to make sure we liked how everything was turning out. Another thing that made this such a great experience was that Jorge talked to us while I was being tattooed, which really helped distract me from the pain. One other guy was at the shop, Bob, and he was super nice as well. Overall, it's a great shop! Clean and everyone was very friendly. I felt super comfortable here, and definitely recommend this place to anyone! Especially Jorge! He did amazing work on us, and I can't wait to hopefully get more done by him. Read Less

I have been living in Irving for a year now and I have literally looked everywhere and tried to get ahold of multiple artist. My brother got a piece done by Jorge and I loved it. I contacted him, within hours he was messaging me back. He worked with me, listened to what I wanted, asked questions, and worked around my schedule for work. I started my half sleeve and he has the most gentle hand I have ever had tattoo. His line work is one of the most spot on line work I have seen. I would highly recommend iron ink and even more highly recommend Jorge. His work is hands down one of the best I have ever seen (and i have seen a lot of work). The environment of the shop was laid back and made me feel comfortable. The ONLY place and ONLY person I will let me tattoo me from now on is Jorge from Iron Ink Read Less

Michael was incredible. Very professional, great conversation, and out of this world talent. I loved how sanitary the work stations were. I would highly recommend him to any of my family and friends. Only guy I trust in Texas with my tattoos!! Will definitely be back for more! Read Less

Michael does amazing work! I have gotten a lot of tattoos from different artist! Michael is the best I have seen! He did a unicorn to represent my daughter! The colors and work he put in blew my mind something I will cherish forever! If you are ever looking for a place to get amazing work that you can love and appreciate! Look up iron ink!! Read Less

Best customer service, all the workers are super nice and greet you as you walk in. Kept me laughing the whole time i was getting my tattoo. (helped distract me from the pain) Everyone was in an upbeat mood. My tattoo artist Jorge, did an absolutely amazing job. He gave me exactly what i wanted and got it done pretty quick, within a reasonable price. Great first tattoo experience. Read Less

Shop is clean, artists are real and actually friendly. Pricing is great, Dusty has done 3 out of 4 of my tattoos ranging in placement as well, from my foot to my shoulder and ribs! Nothing stops him from doing a great job, and he's great about making sure it's all clean and sterile and you are relaxed and know what you want and ready to start. Highly recommend this iron ink.

Everyone at Iron Ink was incredibly helpful, friendly, and talented. They took great care of my friend and I... It was my friends first tattoo, and they answered every question she had and they really made it fun for her. Our tattoos are great! Will definitely be back to get more work done. Read Less

My first time getting a tattoo. I waited about 2 weeks to write the review since I wanted to see how the tattoo comes out. The staff couldn't be more friendlier. There were three guys at the shop, all of them engaged in friendly conversations. Since it was my first time, I was nervous going in. They made it very comfortable. I got a minimal design tattoo, which turned out to be great after two weeks, after it has fully healed. Pre and post tattoo care were maintaned by the staff. They ever offered a free touch up!

I feel bad doing this because my negative experiences do not reflect my views on all of the employees and the shop itself, but rather a single artist. Quite honestly, it is a very nice shop -- clean, welcoming, easily accessible -- good vibes overall. Bob is a true professional -- he is a great guy, he is experienced & he did a really nice piece on my back shoulder blade which I love. Spike is also the man -- good dude, light hand, really cool style and very detailed -- very impressed with his work I definitely recommended him. Mike is also really cool and does great work -- I can't speak for the piercing artists, but they are all very nice and I get the impression they do good work. My issues have all really been with Dusty. I called in about a month ago one night, explained a little bit over the phone what I wanted & was told to come in & that they could probably get it done -- upon arrival, I barely even explained anything about what I had planned & he immediately got defensive and said, "Sorry, we are closing soon -- can't do it tonight". Granted it was a little late, but it didn't make sense to me. For one, I hadn't even explained fully what I wanted, so I don't know how he could have determined it couldn't be done (there was still a little over an hr before closing) -- I even tried to talk to him about it some more and it just didn't even seem like he was listening to me & that he had somewhere more important to be. He just kept just interrupting me and repeating that they were closing soon. Second, why would you tell me to come in for no reason? He didn't even seem willing to do a consultation or even offer alternatives. I was definitely upset, but I figured he was having a bad night or something... Last night, I called in -- very similar situation. I made sure to call with many hours before closing so that would not be an issue & Dusty told me he was available. When I got there, he was nowhere to be found -- I did end up finding him a 5-10 minutes later working on his car, but that didn't bother me in the least. We went in the shop and I started to explain what I wanted -- in all honesty, I thought it was something that was extremely simple (in fact, I went to 2 Chairs in Dallas the same night and Randy banged out a beautiful piece -- no problem). Just like the last time, I started to explain what I wanted (granted I did explain it somewhat poorly) & within a few seconds, he was already shaking his head and saying it couldn't be done. I had literally only uttered a few sentences and he was already shutting me down. Perhaps he really couldn't do what I wanted, but that is not the point -- he was just so unhelpful, unpleasant & just seemed that he didn't want to work with me no matter what I said. Again, I just felt like I wasn't even close to a priority and that he had somewhere more important to be -- it was St. Patrick's Day, so maybe that was true. Just to show the difference in the attitudes of the other employees, Bob was actually nice enough to stop in the middle of a tattoo, apologize that he couldn't fit me in that night, took a picture of my shoulder to run it through some tattoo software he had & offered to do whatever he could for me when he had a free appointment. Bob was already busy & he was still willing to help and go out of his way for a repeat client -- polar opposite of Dusty's attitude and the way he treats clients. Like I said, it is sad because I like the place & most of the people, but due to these experiences with Dusty, I could not foresee myself ever giving Iron Ink any more of my business... Read Less

Silly me. I thought that I could trust that professionals would take their time and do a good job. I had a four hour layover in a nearby airport and wanted to have my nose pierced. I looked up this place and they were licensed and had good reviews, so I went. The piercer came out, said about two words before starting to try to stick a huge needle through my nose. I stopped him because I had questions. Maybe it was my fault that I couldn't understand him, but I think the real reason was because he had a huge ring in his lower lip that left it protruding out about 3 inches. It was impossible for me to accurately understand what he was saying. I was laid-back in the chair and not shown any of the materials that he was about to use. I stopped him again and asked if the materials were clean and sanitized. He looked at me as if I were an idiot and showed me that they were in fact sealed closed. I assumed I had the right to ask this and didn't mean to upset him, but I don't really care if I did. At that point I felt that since it was clean and he was a professional, I would continue. He wiped my nose, said 1,2, 3, and stuck a huge needle in my nose. I have had one piercing before and that process was much longer and was explained to me in detail, and didn't hurt a fraction as much as this one. This was horrible! I was bleeding everywhere. He gave me a piece of cotton gauze and said, "Keep this on it."  I didn't even get to chose the type of ring! I'm stuck with an ugly fake silver stone of some kind. And that was it. I am currently on my way to a local piercing shop in Kentucky where I live, and I know that they will do a good job. My fault that I went somewhere on a whim. Do. Not. Go. Here. Read Less

love this place! Dustin did an awesome job at both of my tattoos and healing was perfect with minimum pain. They are always welcoming and nice. Had my first tattoo done here, now planning on my third tattoo with them!.. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a clean, flawless tattoo. Read Less

I was super impressed with this small tattoo shop, which was extremely clean and the staff is friendly. It took me 2 years to work up the nerve to get this done and hence I was worried finding a good artist who could handle the fine lines my tattoo required. I was lucky and found Dustin Jamieson at Iron Ink who drew up an excellent outline of what I wanted. He did a really good job on my tattoo and it looks awesome. He assured me if I find some imperfections I can come back and he would fix it free of charge. I found only two lines that are not exactly "perfect" and I may go back to have them smoothed out. However if anybody is expecting a perfect tattoo from an artist they may instead use a machine instead of a person. I believe the perfect tattoo would lack the artists creativity which my tattoo clearly has. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DUSTIN AND IRON INK! If you live in the DFW area look no further for your tattoo, this is the place to go. I am a very very picky woman, but Iron Ink really deserves a 5 star rating. Read Less
