Artistic Encounter

Walked in on a Saturday night after trying two other places in DE for a septum piercing. The piercing was quick and easily the most painless of all the piercings I’ve gotten. The piercing was fairly priced and you can ask for prices up front. Everyone was really friendly. I’ve since gone back for jewelry changes; not just in the piercing I got there, and was in and out with new jewelry.

i went to get an ear piercing a few weeks back and i called in advance to ask if the piercer was in “not the main one but another one is” i asked if it was an apprentice and was hit with “uhhh…no…?” i decided to go in since it was just an ear. when i was sat down to get my ear pierced she let me go through that actual piercing packets, like the blue and white sterile packaging. at this point i can only blame myself because i decided to still stay. she laid me down, drew the dot on my ear and went in without the clamps. i know some piercers choose not to use them, but she should have. she then tells me “oh im gonna pull this back just a bit-“ pulls it out of my ear and then goes through AGAIN coming out a different area on the back “-and reposition the exit hole.” i ended up paying $90 for the experience tip included. not even a week later, it was incredibly infected to the point of my lymph nodes swelling. i know how to clean piercings, this wasnt my first rodeo. the woman who pierced me had shorter brown hair, and considered herself “a traveling piercer” thanks

I very recently and unexpectedly lost my sweet Chug, Rocco and it's been an absolutely brutal time. I wanted to do something special to always have him close to me. I have one tattoo from years ago, but not visible. I wanted a simple, but beautiful "R" on the inside of my left ankle. My amazing friend researched when I told her what I wanted and she said THIS is the guy to see--Billy Jack! I looked up his IG and the artwork was so intricate and detailed--awesome work. I reached out and explained my situation and that I wanted something simple, but I wanted the most stunning "R" he didn't flinch, he said they'd take care of me and we scheduled. I've been an absolute mess this week, apparently while I thought my dog was obsessed with me because he was always 2 inches from me and had his eye on me making sure I'm okay when there is zero threat at all--the obsession was mutual because I really miss him. My incredibly supportive friend who also loves tattoos, drove me to the Deep Ellum location (we can't wait for the Plano one to open!!!!) The ladies at the front greeted us immediately and Billy Jack and I chatted about the size, location of my tattoo and then we went back to get started and honestly, it was so fun talking to him and his wife. For a second he said he could knock this out in 5 minutes and my friend said she'd time him and I was like, no no--let's take it easy--luckily they were kidding...I think :) His wife is an awesome cosmetic tattoo artist and their banter is hysterical. It really felt like a group of friends just talking and then, I was done! Now I have the most beautiful reminder of my sweet Rocco with me always. I love my new tattoo and if I ever have anyone looking for ink or cosmetic tattooing, I will absolutely send their way! Gorgeous family and just good people! Thank you for the experience and the laughs--I needed it <3
