First time customer at 1upink. Hit up Jay on Instagram about an insane CSM Aki piece he wanted to knock out and that he did. Very professional and welcoming making the entire experience a great time. The whole shop passed the vibe check and I’ve haven’t felt more at ease in a tattoo studio. If you’re ever in the dallas area or don’t mind a little drive and you’re looking for a clean anime piece make sure this place is at the top of your list. Will definitely be a returning customer.
Black owned and operated local tattoo shop with friendly service and professional staff. Wife and I got Friday the 13th tattoos for a great deal! Clean line work with knowledge artist and piercers. Definitely going to be a returning customer.
Peanut hooked me and my sisters tattoos up! He was so patient, kind and cracked so many jokes! 😂 It made us both feel comfortable and we know we picked the right spot for all of our future tattoos! Thank you all! ❤️
