For the first decent size tattoo I have received, I couldn't ask for a better place. Ben, the owner of this, made the experience great as the entire time of getting my piece done, we had fantastic conversation and it made the experience very unnerving. His art work is full of depth and character making sure that every single piece has its own unique style and charecteristic setting aside any others that may have one similar. He was giving further ideas into the work, all of which brought out so much more than i could have ever expected. Him and I are already talking of ideas to continue the work further and keep his artistic eye flowing. The walls are covered with various bits he has done over the decades of him being in this buisness. Deffinetly recommend for any first timers or people who are looking for more. The prices he offers for his work is deffinetly worth the price. Read Less

I have been going to 3 layers deep for many years now and it is by far my favorite spot. Not only do I think Ben's artistic style is different and original, which is truelly appreciated in a time of such normalized and trendy pieces, but the friendliness and ease of collaborating on what I want is amazing. I can't say enough about this place, I plan on going here for years to come. Read Less

I was a walk in after my first tattoo from earlier that day in Oregon which I wasn't totally satisfied with. Ben helped me figure out how to fix it and add to it make it outstanding. He made it look better than I imagined in my head. From then on he was able to take what I described and put to paper then to a great tat. I'm on my seventh one and have been happy with everyone. He is great artists and I recommend you give him a try. Read Less

I had Ben from 3 Layers Deep in Federal Way, WA. do my second tattoo.  He did my whole sleeve which took a couple days.  My tattoo turned out amazing with no flaws and looked better than I had hoped.  I came in with an idea and he helped me create a lifetime masterpiece that I am proud to have for the rest of my life. After spending a couple days with ben and watching how he runs his business, I am glad that I was referred there to get my tattoo.  Not only did I leave this establishment with a new tattoo but also a new friend. Thanks Ben. His business is very clean, professional and friendly.   I have already had a few friends get their tattoos there and they enjoyed not only the quality of work but his expertise in helping design their artwork but also explaining the whole process. I would recommend 3 Layers Deep to anyone and everyone. Read Less

My first tattoo ever and Ben was wonderful from beginning to end. He spent time with me looking at pictures and coming up with the right design.  Then he made sure I liked the placement and understood the process. He is so skilled that at times it didn't even hurt. I am so pleased with the outcome. Everyone who sees it compliments it and agrees he did a wonderful job. If I decide to get another one I will definitely go to Ben!! Read Less

I just got work done by Ben about 3 hours ago and I still cannot stop looking at it. Sure, that is what happens when you get new ink but the detail of this piece of art he created is AMAZING. He sat down with him and took the time to listen to what I was looking for. We went back an hour later and he captured exactly what I was wanting. He made the whole process so simple. He put on a movie for my husband and I to watch while he did his thing. He took his time with the detail and would not let me leave until he was satisfied. I highly recommend him to anyone in the FW area that's looking for ink. He has a $100/hr and to be honest, I think that is too low for his work. He's so nice and down to earth.SO HAPPY!

Ben is an amazingly talented artist. I have gone to him for 4 separate tattoos and he has been able to take any idea or picture that I have brought him and modify it and make it a unique and individual idea piece of art every time.He is extremely personable and easy going and the shop is very welcoming and CLEAN. He always takes the time to explain the process and talk about size and placement, as well as color choice, very thoroughly before beginning the tattoo. He makes sure he knows exactly what you want. Unlike a lot of other shops I have been to, Ben has never tried to sell me a larger piece than I have wanted or change my original design idea. Considering the work that he did on me (which is more watercolor style) and the work that he has done on my boyfriend (which leans toward the cartoon/traditional) and looking through his portfolio I have come to the conclusion that he can tattoo pretty much any style including cover ups and portraits. If you are looking to get tattooed by a friendly talented artist in a small welcoming shop, go see Ben. Read Less
