I'm in love with my tattoos! Kat did my first tattoos and I'm absolutely glad I chose this shop. On top of having really talented artist with amazing portfolios, they were super professional and kind. Since it was my first time, they made me feel really comfortable. It was also very clean. Kat did an amazing job and highly recommend dark horse. Read Less

Had a tattoo done by Jon. Not impressed. He gave me a horrible blow out. When I went back to have him look at it, he was extremely rude about it and said there was nothing he could do. Looking into another shop to get it covered somehow. Read Less

My daughter and I are devoted customers of Cat. Terrific experienced artist, creative, professional, and just on a different (higher) level. Excellent customer service and spotless rooms and equipment. There's Dark Horse and then there is everywhere else. Top notch, highly recommended! Read Less

Just got a tattoo on Wednesday by Jon. All the staff were very helpful and friendly and even worked with me tremendously when I had to push my appointment back by an hour or so do to complications. Jon did an amazing job with the tato he had to redraw and add some extra imagery to for me, which based on the image I was a bit nervous about the outcome, but he killed it...it looks incredible and I love this tattoo. Very fairly priced as well. I will definitely be back for more. Read Less

What you can expect: 1. Super sterile environment. 2. Astonishing customer service and professionalism. 3. Outstanding detail-oriented needle work. 4. Precise, technical artists. 5. Superior quality tattoos at a very reasonable price. Why go to any other shop? Ask for J Read Less

The shop was clean and welcoming as well as easily accessible and easy to find. On every visit I was greeted by Steve, who made sure I felt welcomed and comfortable. Steve was attentive and checked on me several times during each visit. Excellent service from start to finish! My artist was Cat, I can not begin to say enough about her. During my initial consult, she took my half formed idea from my very non-artistic brain and breathed life and beauty into it. I was absolutely stunned at art approval, how well she captured my hopes. The original artwork, however, pales in comparison to how she gave it depth and life on my skin! I am very pleased at the results. I will be visiting again very soon! Read Less

My experience thus far has been outstanding! If you're looking for quality artists, a clean environment, and leaving satisfied with what you just added to your body, then this is the place. I can only speak of two artists I have had dealings with. Cat Johnson is amazingly precise and creative. Jeremy thinks outside the box and is easy to work with. Read Less

This was my first tattoo so I was really nervous. The man at front desk was SO friendly and welcoming. He explained the general process to help ease my stress. Jon was my artist. He was amazing. He was very skilled and talented, even though my piece was small and simple. He also drew up and completed a small piece for my husband. The shop was clean and comfortable. Overall our experience was great!Read Less

Absolutely the best tattoo shop I have been to. Cat is a fantastic artist and I love how excited she was to do my tattoo. Usually I wait a few years in between mine, I am already thinking about my next one! Can't recommend them enough! Read Less

Cat is an absolutely brilliant artist. She knows exactly how to put my thoughts into art. I have gotten tattoos all over the world but from now on I will never go anywhere else. The entire staff are very pleasant to deal with! Read Less

This place is clean with a comfortable waiting area, the artist I talked to was very nice and helpful,If they would only hire a piercer for the place and get someone friendly and knowledgeable to work the front they would put that crap hole All American Tattoo out of business for sure!!!!!

Love DHT, Friendly staff, excellent Tattoo artists. Cat is our artist and she is amazing. You will never find a smarter, more educated, more dedicated, more talented tattoo artist. Thank you Cat and DHT for all of the wonderful beauty you put into this world. Read Less

I got my first tattoo done at Dark Horse yesterday. The shop was clean, the staff were very straightforward and pleasant, and the service was excellent. The big things I noted were: - the artist (Jon) clearly knew what he was doing. He answered all my questions and gave a few laughs along the way. He was skillful, and transparent with his approach to the tattoo. I clearly saw him take the needles out of the sterile packaging, he wore gloves, and thoroughly cleaned as he went.... - the level of the tattoo blew me away. I paid a pretty low price for a tattoo of this quality, it looks amazing -I had a friend or two drop in to watch and say hello. They were totally cool with it, had no issues at all. They were friendly towards my friends and provided a lot of great conversation. Overall, everything I expected the experience to be and more. Great staff, great environment, great work. Definitely plan on coming back to Dark Horse for my next piece. Ver más Read Less

This shop and the people who work here are awesome! I recently finished my first session with Cat and can't wait for my second!! She is truly talented, the tattoo she designed for me is beautiful. I have gotten  so many compliments on it and it's not even finished. The shop is clean, organized and the front desk staff is great. They went out of their way to help me and answer all my questions. If you are looking for a place to get your next tattoo, I highly recommend Dark Horse Tattoo Parlor. Read Less

Thank you Ms. Kat. I'm in love with my new ink! My experience at Dark Horse was awesome. From my consultation to getting a gorgeous  phoneix placed on my shoulder. I couldn't have asked for a better artist... not to mention the receptionist, sorry, forgot her name, she was super cool too.  If you are looking for great customer service and an artist who really knows her stuff, go see Kat at the Dark Horse Tattoo Parlor. One Love! Read Less

Jon did my first tattoo just over a year ago and it was a great experience. He was friendly, professional, and very helpful when I was indecisive about colors. He added little details to my tattoo that became my favorite part of it! Electric Steve is also phenomenal. Hands down the most experienced and professional piercer I've ever met. He knows his stuff and is incredibly patient with lots of questions. I've yet to be tattoed by Cat but her work is fabulous and her portfolio is gorgeous. I trust the artists she hires because I trust her standards. I can't wait to get back to Dark Horse and get some more ink. Hopefully soon! Read Less

I absolutely would NOT recommend this place. My daughter wanted a tattoo for her 18th birthday and we went in to schedule a consultation and appointment. I paid the deposit. The big day arrived and I received a call stating that they would not be able to do my daughter's tattoo. My daughter was heartbroken since she was leaving for college the next day. My suggestion is...find a place that will follow through. Read Less

Thank you Kat for working with me to make my dad's memory permanent. You have no idea how awesome you are. Not only did you let me talk all about the first man I have ever loved, you helped me make my commitment to that very strong father/daughter relationship permanent. I will always love him and will always be thankful to you for helping me express that. Read Less

I've been getting tattoos for well over 20 years. Kat, Steve and John are the most professional and polite people I have dealt with. They even put up with my kids.  I have been tatted by Kat and John, I will not hesitate to return....as a matter of fact. It's about time for more ink. Read Less

I got a tattoo from Jon. Totally awesome job. He listened to me worked with me and understood the importance of this to me.  His drawing was spot on. I am going to go back again when I'm ready for my next tat. A+++++++++++. :) Read Less

I recently went to Dark Horse on the 13th to get my first tattoo as well as an additional tattoo. When I got there everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I had Cat as my artist and I can honestly say her work is phenomenal and I am in love with it. I love the cleanliness and professionalism of the business and I definitely will be returning to Dark Horse to add more tattoos to my collection. Read Less

When I was searching for a place to get my first tattoo done, I was a mess. I agonized over Yelp reviews and artist portfolios and everything you can imagine. Eventually, I decided to check out Dark Horse after reading over their website and extensive FAQ section.Dark Horse is located in an unassuming strip mall in Stafford just off I-95. I went in with little more than a name, a Word document full of disparate tattoo ideas, and a boatload of anxiety. I met with Cat right away, and within 5 minutes she had a rough sketch of something incorporating everything I'd asked for. Nice! A few weeks later (their schedule can be quite busy) I was in The Chair. Everyone here is so, so down to earth. I was definitely intimidated about going to a tattoo shop, but Cat is very affable and professional (not to mention extremely talented). She did a great job of putting me at ease, chatting with me to keep me distracted, and just generally being awesome to be around. Plus, she has a whole bunch of little care tips she will give you (foaming soap!) and they are all definitely really good advice. She's also great at giving you artistic input if you need it. My tattoo is custom and was pretty free-form, so there were several times where her input was invaluable in creating an amazing end result. And let me say, my tattoo is amazing - I could NOT be happier with it!I can't say how DHT's pricing compares to other shops, but I can say that my very large tattoo was quoted at 6 hours (at $150 per) and ended up coming in at a bit over 4 hours, so that was a pleasant surprise. And my tattoo came out amazing! What more can I say? Cat and the DHT crew are the real deal, and I can't wait to go back for more! Read Less

Went into the shop and Steve and Jon immediately helped figure out what we could do for my type of tattoo (I was a walk in and luckily Jon had an opening but I would definitely make an appt!) these guys are great! They had me laughing, super friendly, great customer service! & of course the most important thing is Dark Horse's phenomenal artwork!! Read Less
