Shaggy is Ahhhhhmazing and killed my tattoo! He communicated well. He answered all my questions and was super kind. Everything was clean and sanitary. After 6 hrs in the chair I finally have my octopus tattoo completed! Thank you a million times Shaggy! I will be back for more work! You are the best!!

These guys are awesome here. Fair prices and dedicated. Each artist has there own style. Fun atmosphere and good customer service. Look forward to my next tattoo. Keep pushing that ink guys! See you soon!

Straight forward. Nate was the one to pierce my septum. Will be back for more. Everyone was welcoming and ignored my weirdness lol. I enjoyed being here. If this was a hangout place, Id be here all the time. Thank yall!!!

Shaggy did an amazing Job on my tattoo! It is by far my absolute favorite. I spent years looking for the perfect tattoo, I Brought it to him and he helped me make it mine. He knew how much this tattoo meant to me and several hours later he brought it to life!! I will definitely be back and would recommend him to anyone looking for a Phenomenal artist.

Ask for Marlena! She is the absolute sweetest young lady when it comes to customer service satisfaction! Yall should give her a raise! Best tattoo shop I have ever been to!

I went in last night and got my septum pierced by Sage. Literally the most painful thing Ive ever experienced btw, which is saying a lot since Ive broken a limb and had a few children and been tattooed etc…First of all, the tool she used was not the right kind for the needle she used, and she stated it (“These clamps don’t like these needles but, it’s the best thing I have for a septum piercing.”) I assumed it would turn out fine because she was talking like she’d done it a lot…no. Not fine at all! She pierced me and it was super crooked, the entry hole higher then the exit hole. I told her and she said, Oh is it? *looks* That’s an easy fix. So I had to do it again (Im literally pouring tears out it was so painful) and this time, the needle wouldn’t go through and she had to push so hard OUCH* that when the needle finally broke through it stabbed me on the outer side of my nose. She apologized profusely, but unfortunately it was already done so 😬👎🏻 After all that, I left and now I see that it’s even the wrong placement, too low, so I wouldnt even be able to flip it up. And that’s because the tool she used didn’t allow her to get up in the top front of my nostrils where it should be…will be calling today to try to either have someone else more experienced there pierce me or hopefully get my money back and go somewhere else….

Great arts .

Dont judge a book by its cover. This place looks a little run down inside compared to other shops, but the artists are great. Its a very relaxed atmosphere and we walked out very happy with our new tattoos.

Jet does the best tattoos and hes affordable. Also, Dr. Love greeted us with open arms and accommodated with scheduling and price.

Ive sent my son and girlfriend here on numerous occasions. Never again, and I do not recommend. Unless you want to be ignore from the other side of a locked door. We even called. 3 employees the forth walked away couldnt even answer the phone or tell us thru the door why we not allowed in when the shop had been open for 2hrs already. Ive know J and Tony since Contraband. They just stood there and stared like they were drugged out. I wouldnt have trusted them if they had opened the door. Very disappointed. Time to find a new shop.

FIRST TIME GOING. VERY NICE & CLEAN. THE EMPLOYEES ARE VERY FRIENDLY, INFORMATIVE & PARTICULAR. I WOULD GO BACK.

Jet is the man you want to do your tattoo. Light hand and thorough.

I came for a very personal piercing, and I called the shop prior to arriving to request for Lauren, as she is highly recommended and she did my smiley months back. I was told she would be there when I got there (I didn’t give them a specific time) basically did a walk-in, if you will. When I got there the two people at the front were very courteous and welcoming. Usually most tattoo shops I’ve gone to, I’ve dealt with rude employees, this was not the case for both of my visits. When I got there, I was told that Lauren was tattooing someone, and that it would be a min before she could get to me. I asked how long and they told me about an hour/hour and a half. I didn’t mind waiting for her at all. BUT she made time and squeezed me in her busy schedule and I appreciate that so much! She is so knowledgeable and sweet. She talked to me throughout the whole process and it lessened the pain for me. 10/10 would recommend this shop. I don’t see why anyone would give them bad reviews! They have yet to disappoint me!

Sarah is great. This is a custom piece based on my own drawing-much improved by Sarahs input. She has great rates and a great hand. I trust her judgement and her artistic abilities. Ive gotten 4 micro tats and two smallish tats from her, ans she has worked on a couple of my friends. She is amazing. Go to Freak Show and see Sarah. Tell her Pickles sent ya!

Cool place! Great prices!! Cool people!! Friendly and crazy knowledgeable staff!! Youll not regret stopping here!! Will be back!! 👍👍😁

S/O Vee, Nate, and David for the service they provided. They were quick on their work and very professional about it. Will definitely come back again.

Got a nose piercing here and it was quick and easy no pain really but maybe because I have a high tolerance. Going back for more

I went to get a tattoo, a name with 5 letters, but the chick at the front seemed like she didnt know how to work the computer. This place lost a customer because of the poor service at the front counter.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s very friendly and warm welcoming, great people!

If cleanliness and customer service is not important to you, this might be the place for you. We dipped out within 5 minutes of arriving. Do not recommend.

Absolutely love the work that they do! Outstanding work! Found my future tattoo shop!!!

They are the best around and they do awsome work and they are respectful and have good price

I think that N8 did a phenomenal job on this cover up, I am so happy and will definitely be back for more ink work

Love the work they do. Excellent and outstanding job.

Beyond satisfied with the service I received. After communicating with JJ and my artist about my price, Jim was more than happy to not only touch up my tattoo but also added some shading to enhance the appearance of my piece! Would highly recommend!!

Great artists with professional but also friendly attitudes. I cant imagine a better experience than what I have had at this place. I would recommend them to all my friends. I love the Freak Show!

Great work and great people and I love JRock his dose my tattoos

My daughter got her first tattoo last night and Tatum was awesome!!.very gentle and Great Work!.Ive been here several times for tattoos and everytime its a Hit!Thanx Tatum for making my daughters first tattoo experience a Good One!

Just got a tattoo from them for their toys for tats great atmosphere love their work dont mind the mess theyre remodeling but once they get it up and going that place is going to be rocking

Friday the 13th event was kind of a mess. Waited until nearly 7 am for my brother and me to get a tattoo and end the end they didnt come out anywhere near acceptable. Lines shaky or out of place a cat that looks like a wolf and a moon thats all wobbly. It was not worth the wait

Went to the Friday the 13th event for this tattoo shop this year. After a long night and waiting until about 6 am to finally get in the chair to have a tattoo done, every single artist had left except the apprentice. Even his mentor had left before him and no one else was in the shop at all to watch him work. This apprentice has completely ruined my tattoo and botched the work. There was no one to talk to about the work that was done and I feel completely disheartened having this permanently on my skin. It looks nothing like the photo I requested, lines are not straight and have other lines coming off of them leading to nowhere. I cried for a long time about this and feel that if the artist was tired and that is somehow the reason for this poor of work, he should’ve just turned us away.

Terrible service, the girl at the front desk will cost them business very unprofessional

3rd time will most definately go back

Love everyone here. Met my new tattoo artist for life here. Cant wait to get another from her. Tink.

Do not come here! Would give less if I could! Went for a simple lantern and the lines are not straight and doesn’t look like what I wanted at all. My sister got a small smiley face and the circle was shaky and looked bad. Just simple work and the line work sucked.

They did an amazing job 😍

Let me start by saying, Its been a few years since I or anyone Ive known has gotten work done there. Jj is an amazing art. I went there because Ive seen his work on other and it was great. I went there and he was going to do my tattoo. Well I waited hours and Jj didnt have any interest in tattooing me. So he had some other artist tattoo me. I looked at his work and my friend got tattoo on me and it looked good so i agreed to it. However when he tattooed me it hurt like hell and I have a high pain tolerance, well the tattoo looked pretty decent. Then the next week or so I had ink pouring out of my leg and Im not talking about the normal amount. There was so much ink that the aquaphor was dark black and purple. I go to get it looked at by another tattoo artist and they tell me they went too deep when tattooing me and pretty much scared me. BTW it was much larger and 20×less painful.SO BASICALLY BE CAREFUL not all the artist at hes shop are professional or even good. If Tony is still there he is great. Jj is an amazing artist but really unprofessional. I mean just check out how he responds to negative reviews. He ALWAYS blames the customer never takes responsibility. Otherwise I would have reviewed higher. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes he could have a great shop with his talent.

Love coming here all the staff are nice and friendly JJ and Lauren are awesome, anytime I need a bit of skin therapy this is where I go.

My best friend and I decided we finally wanted to go get tattoos that we’ve wanted for months and and we LOVED our experience! Lauren KILLED my butterfly tattoo, like i am ABSOLUTELY in love with it. Smoke did an AMAZING job on my best friend’s tattoo, and both of us were really super satisfied! Great people, super comfortable environment, wonderful vibe. I’d recommend anyone to this place. 10/10 for sure.

Stuck me four times for a septum just to tell me the jewelry was too big. Gave me a refund but still... Raise your standards... -piercer was younger black guy.

Highly recommended!!! This is my fourth time getting my nose pierced and for far this is my best experience. I asked a lot of questions and Brandon answered all of them nicely and you can tell he knows what he’s doing. Everything was clean, and he took his time explaining the after care and making sure I understood. If you wanna get a piercing this is your place. Ask for Brandon, he’s awesome!

Took my chances with the tattoo roulette dispenser aaaand was not disappointed! I am absolutely in love with my new floral Scarab addition and thoroughly enjoyed my session with ⚡Pain Princess RahSa Embers🔥I did feel faint towards the end and I was courteously cared for; watered and fed a snack.Anticipating my next encounter at JJ Blacks Freakshows Studio!!!

Had to go to hospital . Doctor said the way she(the blonde with box braids ) pierced my belly button was not only slanted but too far up got really infected within two days of getting the piercing. I showered regularly and used the cleaning solution they provided . Was in an intense amount of pain during the piercing and after . She said the belly button piercing should hurt less than your nose. It felt like she was ripping my stomach open . I knew something wasn’t right shortly after I left but was excited to finally have my piercing . I highly recommend going else where . Not to mention we waited 40 minute to fill out paperwork then another 30 to be seen for piercings .

If youre looking for some ink go to Freak Show Studio. Ask for jj Blalock!

Uh-Mazing!!! They got me in and out and made me feel so comfortable! I will definitely come back for more piercings!!!

I had a very nice experience here. If you’re looking for an authentic tattoo experience with a new age vibe I definitely would suggest here. The artist are so friendly and I love the environment. Definitely worth the time and $$$ I can’t wait to come back. They handled Friday 13th so well considering how many people were lined up out the door! I can’t believe how quick it actually took to get to us. Expected a much longer wait. The owners has a unique sense of humor don’t take everything too seriously. Wish I could rate more!!!

First off, my wife made an appointment for me with J. We got there early and when the appointment time came, we were knee deep in chit chat. The entire staff is welcoming and engaging. I had watched them sanitize the bed and equipment when I first arrived and eventhough it hadnt been used yet, it was all sanitized again. Ive never been to a tattoo place that cleans as much as they do. Tattoo time comes, over the course of an hour and a half employees were stopping by to talk and joke around. Its like hanging out with old friends up there and thats hard to find.

Love this place I highly recommend, very friendly and great pricing

I had such a great experience here. Everyone was super nice and made me feel super comfortable, and not only that, they actually cared and wanted to service me. Ray did my tattoo though, and he was amazing as well. Very determined to get things right and you can genuinely tell he enjoys what he does. He did a hell of a job on my tattoo and I would definitely go back to get something else from these talented and very professional people.

Vee, Nate, and David, thank you. This is my go to place for industrial piercing, belly piercings, tattoos, you name it. The price, the work, it’s worth it. Thank you Freak Show!!!

Ok, tattoos. No, Im kidding, GREAT tats!!!This was my pattern. They put it on.

Sarah is amazing! I have gotten tattooed and pierced by her and she did an awesome job. She’s caring and kept making sure I was ok during my long session letting me take a break when needed. I would definitely recommend her!!

Had my septum piercing done here, great customer service. It was $35 which is great price for it. It came out great Ill come back here.

First time going here... Lauren was great! Ill be back!

My lil girl isnt a lil girl anymore.

Sarah is a wonderful artist and piercer. I’ve gotten multiple piercings and tattoos from her. I would suggest anybody going in the shop to get work done by her . She is the best in the shop .

Worst tattoo shop I ever went to wasted my time and money for nothing never got my tattoo. They also do not go by the time people get there they skip ahead of you because I had an appointment and still waited the whole day there for what? Never got my tattoo. Do not waste your time and money and go somewhere more professional where you will get what you pay for and wont waste your time.

Sarah is the best tattoo artist!! She provides care and attention to detail when doing my tattoos. I trust her completely to understand the art that I’m wanting and perfect it!

I really wanted to be able to give a 5 star review, but with the issues its not possible. The staff is very friendly- really cool and chilled people. I went in to get my piercings and the lady was happy to help and explain everything so I was comfortable with the whole thing. The problem is 2/4 of my piercings werent done correctly. I had to go to another shop today(I was in a rush before work and it was an emergency and I live no where close to the shop) because one side of my septum piercing looked like it was rejecting, because it was super low. The guys there said it had been done wrong but it looked straight when I first got it so I put that one on my own body. However, when they looked at my tongue piercings they immediately cringed. My snake eyes were no where near straight and neither does my other tongue piercing go straight down. When I first got it done, my tongue was super swollen so of course she said it would look straight when the swelling goes down, but it didnt. The piercings were well priced compared to other shops, which is why I went, but cheaper isnt always better. So I texted my original piercers from my hometown to get their opinions and they said the same thing about the tongue piercings. Now I have to remove them, let them heal, and get them redone if I choose to which is just wasted money. Maybe the person I had just wasnt the best out of the rest, I dont know but Ive seen other workers there work on others and it looks great so maybe I shouldve pushed one of them to do it but the work I had done just wasnt it except for my other nose piercing.

I honestly love this place! My review is a bit late but I need to share.I first heard of this shop from a friend and spontaneously went in for my nipple piercings. This place was clean and nice and the guy at the front, I think his name was Scooby, was very friendly and informative. I left very satisfied with the results.I went back about a month later on my birthday for their Tattoo Tap-Out (great deal btw) and got Big Al (highly recommend!). He was very patient with me, does absolutely beautiful work, is light handed and an all around chill dude. The staff did come around occasionally to check on me and the progress, and I believe out of a 7 hour process (I got four tats), we took very few breaks and got everything done by their closing time. I definitely recommend this place for their knowledge of their craft, professionalism, friendliness. This will be my regular spot from now on.

I cant remember what my tattoo artists name but he did an amazing job on mine! Definitely recommend going here to my friends!

EDIT: The response left by the owner is a complete lie & honestly crazy. I have documentation of going to this shop & receiving a piercing, their claims are 100% untrue and super weird/sketchy that they would rather lie than improve their business & safety practices. Stay away from this place!!!Save yourself the trouble & money by going somewhere more professional & reputable! I came to Freakshow with a couple of friends to get a double helix piercing. Not only do you pay cash upfront before the service, but they won’t refund you if you change your mind before getting pierced, either lose the money or get a piercing (which happened to my friend who came with me). After feeling concerned about the piercing & jewelry that was given to me at Freakshow, I began to get a rash that started from my pierced ear & went down and all around my neck not even one day later. I went to a different & more trustworthy shop to have the piercing looked at and was told that Freakshow had not used the appropriate jewelry for my piercing, and the piercings were a bit off with bleeding/bruising/swelling along with the giant rash that began at the piercing site. I ended up paying more money having to get the piercing thoroughly cleaned & the jewelry changed due to the poor quality. The piercer who initially pierced my ear was nice, but it’s not worth it if it’s not done correctly or safely.

Lauren is super amazing! Loved chatting with her while she did my piercings and she did a phenomenal job! Very educated and skilled staff. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Have been here twice and both times were great experiences. I wish I could remember both artists who worked on me so I could give them a shoutout! Definitely recommend and definitely going back for my next peice!

Randomly wanted a tattoo tonight. The staff is amazing! Al did a great job. I told him I wanted something for my cat and dog that passed away and he drew this. I love it much

I absolutely love this shop! I’ve been going here a few years now and have never been disappointed. I’ve never been to a tattoo shop that not just only has so many amazing artist...but also has the best atmosphere...I just love being there in general. I recommend this shop to everyone I talk to. I will never go anywhere else.

Ray Reyes did an amazing job on my tattoo, and made sure I felt completely comfortable with my piece before starting! He was so knowledgeable about placement, aftercare, etc! I would really have to say that this was one of my most memorable tattoo experiences yet!

Great clean establishment, very perfesional and they do a very good job! Thx guys

Best tattoo shop ever!! Everyone is awesome, everyone makes you feel welcomed. Make sure your needs and wants are met and you leave satisfied and happy! Definitely recommending this to everyone that’s looking for a badass experience, GREAT WORK DONE, awesome conversations and new friends:)

Wonderful Experience. Lisa done my Labert. Omg she was soo gentle and professional.. highly recommend. 🤩

I’ve gotten multiple tattoos from here and there all amazing. Line are precise and accurate. Brandon always does my tattoos. He’s my favorite artist and the one I trust when it comes to shading and hard straight lines. He also recently gave me a cover up and I couldn’t even find my old tattoos it was so phenomenal.

Shane and Jim are freaking awesome artist. They did exactly what we asked for and more with great conversations and laughs. We’ve already booked our next session! Can’t wait!

I have gotten a few tattoos and my eyebrow pierced. Friendly and fun environment. Great people.

Brandon is the best! His lines are clean and beautiful. He is personable and does amazing color. I wont be going anywhere else!

Got a new piece done by Brandon last night, and let me just say; I couldn’t be happier!!! Got my baby girls name with her birthday and some strawberry vines around it. It’s exactly what I had pictured and he really payed attention to detail! Definitely got my business back after having a bad previous experience with an ex artist. Can’t wait to fix my thigh piece this upcoming Monday! Y’all are awesome!

Solid work. Multiple artists available here. Years of Experience. Check out their Instagram to get an idea of their work. Chill atmosphere.

Love the event you guys hosted and glad that the turn out was good. I didnt mind the wait at all as it was for good cause. Shout out to smoke for doing me and my husband tattoo

Called ahead to get pricing on a piercing, once we got there (20 min later) they changed the price because she checked with the piercer then another girl said ALWAYS speak to the piercer...like its my job to pass the phone to who i need to speak to, i called, your responsibility to relay the correct information to the customer. We left. Will not be back.

This place and the staff are awesome. Recommending my tattoo artist REY, he was super cool and talented, I love my tattoo!! Definitely going to get more tats from him!

Got my septum, labret, and medusa done, Lisa was a fantastic piercer and did an amazing job

I love them, stopped through late night with my cousin met some really dope people, thanks for being patient with me Yoshi!!! I love my piercing💚🤞🏽

Just got my very first tattoo done by Brandon. I literally couldn’t be more happy with the finished result! Very nice and beautiful work, will definitely be going back for any future tattoos

I love this place. Amazing prices. Ive only gotten piercings there so far but planning on looking into getting my next tattoo there as well. Great people. Really chill atmosphere. Highly recommend. #piercings #tattoos #bestinDFW

Love my tattoo

Amazing experience. The pierced there is one of the only ones I trust to put jewelry in my body. Hes always clean and careful and his piercings are always the least painful I had ever had. The tattoo artists are always immaculate. Beautiful work comes out every day. Honestly go there yourself.

Always love coming here. Prices are extremely reasonable and they are patient and willing to get your idea inked perfectly on the flesh. Highly recommend Paul, he is an awesome and attentive tattoo artist who Ive gotten a couple of tattoos done by. Paul always has a great story to tell and gives a little history behind the arts of tattooing. He pays attention to detail and you can tell that he has a burning passion for tattooing.

Great environment and personable staff. Reasonable prices and great tattoo. Ive had a few. Big AL has a light hand, completely healed in about a week. Go if you want the best tattoo.

This place is amazing!! Went here once just because it was convenient and I had the best customer service and at an extremely affordable price. I had my septum pierced for $15 when most places charge close to $50. I was close to chickening out and the guy was really good at getting me to relax. I recommend all my friends here!

I received a helix/ cartilage piercing in both ears. Shane was professional and calming. My ears look great and minimal pain during and afterwards. He gave me great instructions on after care and which products are best for fast healing. Thank you Shane and Freak Show Tattoos for a great Christmas gift.

PLACE IS AWESOME. Got my first tattoo. (BIG AL) Took good care of me. Made sure i was comfortable and let me know what every step was going on. Everyone there is awesome. This place is the best. All the artist are really good and nice. Even if you never want a tattoo just go in and get one it will be ok

Oh my god if I could give 100 stars I would! First off the staff is amazing, they are so friendly and down to earth they make you want to stay well after your tattoo is done to just kick it. Secondly the artist there do such beautiful work. The tattoo I got came out perfectly I fell in love with it before she was even done. Plus they took out time to do my spider bites as well they were done better than when they were done the first time. I loved the time I spent there and all the work they did was simply amazing. Based off this experience alone I will absolutely come back for all of my future tattoos and will recommend all of my friends here. Thank you guys!!!!♥️♥️

Great shop, really care for their customers and stand by what they do. The place is nice for what it is, Good staff and excellent ink/quality art produced from these artists. I had gotten 2 tattoos that did not heal exceptionally the first time, and it was taken care of firsthand by the artist a little later on. Got me right in the shop to touch them up, turned out marvelous in the end! Almost joined the damn staff but sadly I received another offer. Quality studio.

Echo is the TRUTH! He fixed my very poorly done tattoo and I LOVE IT!! He is now my personal tattoo artist...Thank y’all

First off, I am never coming here again. This was the worst display of customer service I have ever seen. Right off the bat, the vibe was completely negative walking in. I could tell people were irritated because no one was helping them as they should be helped. When my group was finally helped the artists said he didn’t want to do any of these tattoos and walked away. Another artist was sent out to us and was acting very irritated with the fact we wanted 3 small tattoos. My group emailed their tattoos and he drew them up without giving us the chance to tell him what we wanted modified. His attitude was very poor when we showed the MINOR change we wanted on the tattoo. He told us that he was not going to change it and that the tattoo he drew up was the one we were getting no matter what. He rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders and told us to take a seat. He rushed through the tattoos and it definitely shows in the quality of it. The employees of this tattoo shop acted as if it was a great inconvenience to have anyone walking through their doors. 0/10 recommendation.

Ask for Big Al. He does great work. I will continue to have him do all my tattoos

Went and got my nipples pierced today. Shane was amazing made me feel comfortable also gave great information about cleaning my new piercings and heal time with proper care. I will definitely be back for some more piercings from SHANE💯

My piercing guy was very cool. Loved my industrial.

If I could give you 0 stars I would. This was most horror and terrifying experience ever. We came to get tattooed first time didn’t know anything about their business. We payed them and agreed on price, then we got switched to another master, that when the horrors begun. 1st he was in jail he told us, then he accused me of cursing him(never happens he made it up to smoke cig). And when we were about to start he pulled us to the side and asked us to pay him more under the counter. The worst thing is that he wasn’t professional at all and could make straight lines . So beware of the horrible rattlers they have. Judge for your self .

Great atmosphere and a well rounded group of artist for you tattoo needs.i can get old school to new school work done here.

Have so much fun! Talk to alot of ppl walking in and enjoyed the 4+hrs of pleasure
