My friend and I got piercing here a few months ago. My friend got two cartridge piercings and I got my nipples pierced. Both of our piercings are healing excellent and had no problems with them at all. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We even showed up very late right before closing and he had an awesome attitude the whole time. Will definitely be back.

My daughter and I got matching tattos there for her 18th bday and my Mothers day! Kat Soto put my daught right at ease and it was a breeze for her 1st tattoo! Love this place and will definitely be back!

Don’t go here unless you enjoy toxic masculinity. Right as I pulled into the parking lot I was greeted with dirty looks from the owner, when I walked in he didn’t even change his gaze to have a normal conversation with a paying customer. In the middle of explaining what tattoo i’m interested in I was cut off with “we have a shop minimum of 150$”. I totally understand as the owner you can set your own price, but I don’t understand the blatant rudeness he has for his customers. If you read his bad reviews he even argues back at them. Go get a tattoo somewhere else, with people who won’t over charge and actually care.

0 is what I wanted to give.. I have never been so disrespected. You are able to charge what you want as a business owner, but to snatch paperwork from a customer is unprofessional. I questioned paying $70 for a nose pricng and Pete felt disrespected and stated that he felt that the quality was worth it and then felt disrespected because I questioned the price. Then he refused service, which was fine. The fact that he stated I couldnt afford it, was the kicker for me. Thats when I gave him the same energy he gave to me. Once the police arrived, I stated the issue, then left. I wanted to ensure the office had my side of the incident and I recorded it on live as it happened. I would never recommend someone who doesnt know how to treat people in general. Learn some respect for all people. I will be waiting on a response. To the police who showed, my apologies for your wasted time. It was unnecessary and uncalled for if the owner Pete knew how to treat people. Always go off your first instant because I already had a bad feeling just by the way he spoke when I entered the shop and when he spoke to another customer walking in. Always Always follow your instinct!

This place feels like home. Peter is a master at what he does. Got my nose pierced, painlessly. He uses high grade quality jewelry. He also blessed us with the true word of God. He is just awesome. The shop is is welcoming and he is professional yet friendly. I highly recommend him and will for sure be going back to see him. Thanks Master Pete.

Friendly, relaxed environment. Loved how clean it was. Piercing was quick and easy, definitely coming back 12/10 would recommend

RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!! We called and asked about a tattoo cover up, he promptly told us it would be $200 to even talk to us about it. We got $200 cash and went up there and he showed some lame YouTube videos.When my husband asked him about the tattoo he wouldn’t even look at him and told him it would cost $200 to talk to us. That was our cue to leave!! We are older professionals, not young kids with no money. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. This is also the reason his parking lot is empty on a Saturday night! We left there and went to Sparrow’s down the street and gave them our cash to cover the tattoo. They were awesome and courteous.

I got my nose pierced at Pistol Petes about a month ago and I absolutely love it. It was my first experience in a tattoo place, and I was nervous. But soon after walking in, I felt at ease. It was clean, Pete was friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure to educate my friends and I about the process and told us everything we needed to know about proper after care. The process was painless and quick.The best part is that Ive called Pete for advice on aftercare twice since then, and hes been so helpful and quick to respond even during the winter storm! I normally dont leave reviews but I had to leave a comment after receiving such an exceptional customer severice experience.If youre looking for a tattoo place, go to Pistol Petes! Youll love it!

This place was decent and did a good job. I got an eyebrow piercing there. I like the space and set up in there. I didnt like that I couldnt have my boyfriend with me in the back and the vibe just wasnt very exciting and hospitable. I think with just a bit more boost in the environment here would be great, as well as allowing at least one companion in the room.

Excellent salon, tattoo, and eyelash services setup. Good location, great service, excellent family.

I went to Pete for a substantial sleeve coverup, and while it is still a work in progress, I have been highly impressed with the quality of his work. He has been helpful throughout the process, providing color palette recommendations that he felt would provide optimal results, and so far the progress has exceeded my expectations for what was possible in a coverup. I live out of state, so flying in to attend our sessions has been sub-optimal, but Pete has been reasonable with working our schedule. I hope locals in the area know how good they have it, having a cover-up artist of this calibre in their backyard! Highly recommend.

Pistol Pete is an amazing tattoo artist. His obvious talent and love of work are present in each piece of art he completes. His input for design and consideration in making my first tattoo beautiful was greatly appreciated.

Extremely rude on the phone. I asked for a price range since I live pretty far. Range example $50-$200. Even after explaining i live pretty far and dont just want to go for a consult which is $100. He was extremely rude prideful and arrogant is not good for any business if you want customers you should be polite to them. Actually you should be polite period company or not!

It was a fast and easy process and I am very happy with my results, I would definitely recommend!!

Pete was amazing! He was able to squeeze me in and still was able to remain professional. With the pandemic in full swing I was pleased to see how alert he was to the detail as far as maintaining the cleanliness of the establishment. He was able to walk me through my first nostril piercing and I am very very pleased with the outcome. When I need a tattoo or another piercing this will be the place I am coming too.

If youre looking for the highest quality of ink and being kept in great hands then look no further! This is the place to go! Pete is very knowledgable and will walk you through all the steps to make the best out of what you are seeking. By far one of the cleanest and safest shops ive been to - he doesnt mess around when it comes to your health and safety. He will exceed your expectations tenfold! Listen to him and trust his word, hes one of the best in Texas by far. Im in the middle of working on a sleeve with him and the quality and detail is beyond what i even imagined. Thanks for everything Pete!

Cool dude. Pierced my nose pretty quick in and out. Does some good tats too.

Hair 2.0 is outstanding! This is a great team. Super clean, organized, and talented.

Thank you for your professionalism, amazing service and super clean atmosphere! Oh, and most of all, for your patience reminding me to breathe. Have a blessed day.

Best piercing experience!My sister and I went to get our noses pierced and Pistol Pete was amazing! He talked us through the process and told us about all of the after care.I was feeling sick after mine lol was done (I’m terrible with needles) but Pete made sure that I was okay before we left!Would definitely recommend him!

Got my septum pierced and as someone with a low pain tolerance, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease and made the piercing almost painless and im very happy with the piercing.

This dude is so rude to his customers for no reason. I don’t care if you’re a talented artist, attitude means a lot. That’s why the other tattoo shops down the road have more foot traffic and 5 start ratings!

I havent tried the tattoo parlor, but I love going to the hair salon inside.

I just got my smiley done by him! It’s my first piercing ever and he was extremely informative and helpful! During him piercing me he was very professional and clean overall a good experience!

Just called and asked a question and he answers so rudely . i asked if i could come in with a grandparent and you said “ is that even a question ? “ and said in a rude way “ yes it has to be a guardian “ . are you pete ? you must know zeke ? 😐

Extremely rude you can find other tattoo shops just as good and talented and artist who is actually nice and polite to their customers. Where there is pride there will be a fall.

Pete was condesending and arrogant. Did not and will not get tattoo from here.

Went in for a nose piercing, I was a little nervous but he was quick with it and it was practically painless, I wasn’t in the shop longer than 10 minutes, and he talked me through the whole process, Definitely will be back for another piercing/tattoo!

Went in for a nose piercing on a Monday afternoon, no wait. Total cost was $54(used a credit card). I had a wonderful experience (very little pain) and it only took about 10 minutes or less! Ill be bringing my daughter there for her nose piercing!

Just got pierced yesterday and I have nothing negative to say. Clean shop, cool vibe when you walk in, he made the process smooth. Dude is really damn good at what he does! Trust me you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Pete Salais IS HANDS DOWN A GOD when it come to tattoos.he has been doing my tattoos since i got my first tattoo at 18. I am 27 now and no one touches this skin except him. He is very knowledgable and is very patient when it comes to helping his customers work through ideas. I love how clean and open his shop is and I especially love how well he keeps things sterile. He is very open and honest and very good with his prices. He is not expensive and will work with you on pricing.I recommend him to everyone i see that wants a tattoo. I agree with everyone here he is THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN TEXAS. Dont waste your money going anywhere else come here and get the best service in all of Texas. Thank you so much for the fabulous work and for making me feel like family every time I come in. Bless you and your family.

Called for a tattoo and a piercing, was asked how big I wanted it and I said nothing bigger than a palm. Once I got there they told me they were booked ‘till August. I mean they could have said that over the phone but hey the piercing was fast. $50 dollars for a nose piercing and I would definitely pay in cash, its a little cheaper.Reply: You shot down my tattoo idea cause I wanted pink. You even pointed out the red in my tattoo and said it was fading... It has white shading in it, patience was a great lesson cause you had no idea what youre talking about and I found someone else with great experience so I thank you. Save your tattoo paribles for someone else ya knock off Jesus.

Pete is an amazing tattoo artist. His shop is clean with a very relaxed vibe. He did a stellar piece for me and my mind is blown. He did above and beyond what I expected. I highly recommend Pistol Petes Tattoo Saloon. I will be back!

I walked into Petes shop about 2 years ago with this horrible tattoo that I wanted to cover up. I presented 3 ideas that I thought could be a cool concept and we ended up going with my favorite one. since then we have been working on this large beautiful breathtaking tattoo. I had an appointment yesterday, and its just truly incredible the level of art and soul that goes into his work. Im proud to carry it with me for the rest of my life. not only is my tattoo stunning, but Pete has always been professional, made me feel comfortable, and has truly made this a great experience. I will be a lifetime customer, and I feel like I have made a friend through this process as well. thank you Pete for doing everything you do, you are so talented and I cant wait to see whats to come next.

Took daughter to get a piercing .. Very nice and professional.. Will def be back in the future

Went in today to get my nose pierced, staff was friendly and funny. they made it a really comfortable experience. place was clean and a good environment. the piercing itself was done by pete i believe, and it was practically painless. definitely recommend, i plan on coming back.

Unreal color on this! This was a cover of a cover and it turned out AWESOME! If you are wanting a cover be prepared to wait, he does not jump into a cover-up the same day and is usually booked months out!

I found pistol pete on internet after I had a bad experience with sparrow in Mansfield took his time walk me through my process great customer service and funny im going back

Came in with my sister and loved every moment. the owner is a great guy and does amazing work. definitely will be recommending this shop to everyone i know.

I was a walk-in with a few of my friends and we loved everything from the moment we stepped in. The tattoos came out so nice too! If you’re looking for amazing work, I recommend this shop!

Pistol Pete is truly a true artist! I have had the pleasure of watching him work on complete masterpieces! Stay tuned... I plan on getting my very first tattoo and wouldnt trust anyone other than Pete!

Pete is amazing!!! I am so thankful for all his advice and willingness to explain the details to our tattoo.. I just found the next and only tattoo artist for the rest of my tattoos.

I went with my daughter to get her nostril pierced. Pistol Pete was awesome! Very professional and nice. He put her at ease and her piercing is super cute!

Had a great experience getting my lobes pierced.

Fantastic service. Honest assessment for a piercing that was thought out and articulate. Really appreciate the honesty and integrity shown!! Will absolutely be a return customer and telling my friends!!

Wanted to come in to get my wifes name tattooed on my shoulder and gave the general dimensions. Requested a price & they said no. I asked a general idea of cost. He said Im not going to be your artists have a good day & hung up. Not professional.

Got my first nose piercing here, i got my septum done and he did a very good job of making sure i was relaxed. i also got my ears pierced and he was very clean about it. will be coming back

My daughter had her first tattoo done here. Turned out really good. She was very satisfied with the outcome. Thanks Pete!

Tried to get a piercing and waited at the door for a while after ringing twice but no one answered, didn’t know what else to do so we left. I’m just sad that i didn’t get my piercing.

Best Tattoo Artist I know.. Did my cover up and it looks better than I could have hoped for. If you need a Tattoo Pete is the guy to do it. When it comes to a great tattoo guy.. GAME OVER.. Petes the man !!!

I had the pleasure of being pierced by Pete! He was so awesome! I was thinking of getting a nose piercing forever but was too nervous to do it. I went in during the day, so it was only he and I in the shop. He was so patient with me. We talked for about 30 minutes while I went back and forth about getting the piercing. He kept explaining the process and how quickly it would be done. After going over things, I decided to do it. I love it! And as he told me, it wasn’t bad at all. Can’t wait to see him for my next piercings! Thanks Pete! You are awesome!

Incredible artist. Pete is the man to see if you want a truly special tattoo. The shop is spotless and a very open, welcoming atmosphere.

Another great experience at Pistol Petes Tattoo Saloon, been knowing this guy for a few years now, went in tonight to get some ink from his apprentice Maddie and I gotta say hes trained her well.. her design was flawless and her line work crisp and sharp. I can never say enough good about Pete and now that extends to Maddie as well, this girl is going places in the tattoo industry. If you have an option. Choose Pistol Petes. Definitely check out the new girl you wont be disappointed ✌✌ and as always the shop environment was fun and welcoming. Best shop In DFW hands down!!!

You want good quality work from a true professional? Check my Boy Pistol Petes out. Pete is an amazing artist and can bring your tattoo to life. He strives for a sanitary shop and that it is. Pete has gone above and beyond to make each client make the best decision before inking their body. By far my favorite artist out here.

Excellent work. Well worth the price. Pete did a cover up for me and youd never know there was ever another tattoo under it. And the colors he used are beautiful!

Pistol Petes is the only shop I trust for my piercings! He does an amazing job. Ive gotten my industrial, nose & belly button done there. They have all healed really nice, no problems whatsoever. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!!!

Awesome place for getting your ink done. Extremely professional and dedicated to their craft. Laid back and clean atmosphere with people who really care about what they do. A true CUSTOM tattoo saloon. Bring an idea, and leave with an awesome piece. You will not be disappointed. Needles and Pete, you guys are AWESOME!!!!!

Best tattoo shop I have ever been to! I went in with an idea for my cover up and the owner explained in detail why my idea would not work. He was very honest and straight forward in helping me understand what would work. He could have easily taken my idea and done the tattoo just for the money. He is very passionate about his work and helping his clients achieve the best results possible. I cant wait to get started on my cover up!!After finding out we were from out of town and had traveled 5 hours to get there, he got us an outstanding discount on a hotel room.

I took my daughter here and it was an amazing experience . Pete did her piercing and was so nice. We shared laughs, stories and it is a memory we will always remember. Best tattoo place Ive been to yet. They are open not permanently closed like their competitors reported. I highly recommend this establishment. Thanks Pete!

Once again, as soon as I walked in I felt at home. I showed up 4 HOURS before he opened up and he still took the time to do work. Atmosphere is better than any shop Ive been in. Lighting isnt too bright or too dim. Talented with the needle and great person to get ideas for future tattoos. I wanted something and he drew a template that was better than I could imagine. I highly recommend Pistol Pete to everyone. I wont use anyone else.

Last night I left the shop with my favorite tattoo yet. Its not complete just yet, but for a tad over 3 hours we got a decent amount done. I am very happy with my experience. Pete did a good job of turning an idea in my head into a reality, Maddi is an amazing up and coming artists. I came in with a couple ideas waa told flat out one wouldnt work and I completely understand why, listen to the professionals folks, you wont regret it. I told him a basic idea I had and he loved it, came up with ideas left and right. Next thing I know Im getting a magnificent chest plate. Couldnt be happier right now. Coming here is defiantly worth my time and money.

I got my first professional tattoo by Pete a little over a year ago- it was a cover up of an ugly cross. He did a very good job with helping me pick out a picture to cover it and gave me good suggestions. The tattoo turned out wonderfully. Have gotten a lot of compliments on it. His shop is very clean and he is very conscientious about that! Would recommend highly.

Pete immediately displayed how knowledgeable he was about what would work on a coverup and what wouldnt. From the moment I walked in the door to I left it was an experience I enjoyed and felt my money was well spent. The end result not only covered up the inexperience of another shop but I was extremely satisfied in the quality of work and detail Pete put in making the art work. The finish product was even better than sketch. Just like anything... you get what you pay for, but here I still left feeling like I got more than what I paid for. Thanks Pete and your team for the experience and something which will be unrivaled. You far surpassed the expectation I had.

I went to Pistol Pete to get my nose piercing yesterday and I went so good. He was on point and I didn’t even hurt. I’m definitely going back for more piercings

Got a tat by chris! Did a dope job! Check them out!

Got my nose pierced here recently. Pete did my piercing. He was very friendly & the studio was clean. My only suggestion is that I wish there was more than just a corkscrew style piercing available my nose piercing, which I am not keen on. I wish he had L jewelry for it, as it feels more comfortable in my nose. Thats my only suggestion. Other than that, it was a very positive experience!

Excellent tattoo cover up by Pete. Excellent enough to win 1st place in the cover up category at the 2016 Star of Texas Tattoo Art Revival in Austin Texas. I drove from East Texas to Pistol Pete’s Tattoo Saloon in Arlington Texas to meet with him for a consultation to see what could be done to cover up an existing tattoo. Actually there had already been 1 cover up preformed by another tattoo place that was ridiculously terrible. So Pete was really conducting a 2nd cover up that turned great. 4 trips from East Texas to Arlington and 17 hours later a 1st place (double) cover up was created. I get a lot of compliments on it. I would recommend Pistol Pete’s Tattoo Saloon to anyone. Place was extremely clean and sanitary. I will be returning in the future to add on to this tattoo.

Ive always loved this shop. Im a repeat customer and will continue to come here as long as it is open. Pete is an amazing artist and I love being his canvas. His apprentice did my tattoo today and she is awesome as well.

Great customer service! I got my nose piercing done here and would completely recommend getting a piercing here!

Thank you so much Pete! You worked with this nearly 60 year old grandmother to create a piece that perfectly expresses the loss of my beloved husband. You listened to me, made valuable suggestions, and gave me a lifelong visual reminder of my love, and loss, of my soulmate of 38 years. Your artistic talent is amazing!

Went with my husband, with absolutely no idea of what we wanted, and Pete helped us find the perfect matching tattoos for us. He really took the time to make sure we were going to be happy with tattoos we got and the placement of them. Very professional and incredibly talented. We will DEFINITELY be going back soon!

Great place to get some new ink :-)Awesome prices even better art work.Youll definitely walk away a happy customer.The shop is very sanitary.I really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere.Pete even went as far as asking me what type of music I wanted to listen to.I spent 6hrs in his chair for my new lovely pin up.I will most definitely be going back to him for all my ink needs.

Pete is amazing! Everything from his story to his skills! So far Ive come in three times. Each time I feel like he has nailed it!! He is pretty damn awesome! Thanks Pete! Happy I chose you!!

Been family with Pete for 15 yrs he is only becoming more amazing with his work come see him for the best tattoo you have ever seen!!

I came in to get a cover up, he was very professional and did excellent detail throughout the whole tattoo! I was beyond happy with his work. I will definitely be going back to get more tattoos from him. I highly recommend his shop if you are looking for a REAL tattoo artist with amazing skills.

I have a tattoo that needed to be reworked and couldnt find anyone that could do what I wanted. But I was lucky enough to find Pete that knew what I wanted and he did an incredible job. He started reworking my tattoo and it looks fantastic on the area he reworked. I cant wait to go back and have him finish my tattoo. I would recommend his work to anyone who wants a fantastic job done.

Very Professional- this was my first tattoo, I stop at another tattoo place in Arlington and left,had uneasy feeling...At Pistol Petes I felt comfortable right from the start..Pete was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me make a decision. Im very pleased with the artwork and the knowledge he shared about aftercare... Im definitely going back for my second tattoo...

Great place. I went in there to get my nipples pierced about two weeks ago. Pete did them and he did an awesome job. It was really quick. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pete is hands down the best!! He’s a Professional. He’s very creative. His shop has a great atmosphere . Felt very welcome. Just over all love the guy and his work

Amazing birthday gift to myself! He gave me an upper inner ear piercing and it wasnt as bad as I thought. Whew! He was very skillful and I chose a beautiful small pink blinged out piercing. Plan to go and get my other ear after this one heals. Kudos for making my day!

I’ve now had 4 piercings done at Pistol Pete’s, one cartridge, two earlobes, and one nose piercing. Each time has been a great experience. Pete is to the point and does an excellent job. I will definitely be going here for the rest of my piercings!

I got my nose pierced here for my birthday and it was amazing. The owner Pete was the one who did the piercing and he talked me through it and made sure I was comfortable. I was incredibly nervous because I really hate needles but he did a great job.I really love my piercing. Thanks Pete

Horrible dont go here!

Maddi did my tattoo and did an awesome job! She was very focused, good clean lines, and drew my tattoo by hand for a one of a kind tattoo! I always like coming here because its a relaxed environment. Its also clean, very clean. Every time I walk in it smells like cleaner! I definitely recommend coming here for any tattooing and piercings!!!

Pete is a friendly environment and a chill place to be. His apprentice is insanely talented I have two tattoos from Pete himself and one from his apprentice and I love them all. He is an incredible artist who has am eye for exactly what you are looking for. I love this place and will continue to go here.

I am getting ready to go in for my 4th session with Pete. He is the ultimate professional and knows exactly how to use his God given gift. The shop is always extremely clean. Pete gives people real world advice based on his experience while keeping their long term happiness and safety in mind. I have been to few tattoo/piercing shops in the past. Nothing compares to overall product you get at Pistol Petes.

Super cool shop and awesome owner! Excellent service, amazing work and he recommended the most incredible Netflix show ever! Ha, happy I chose this place of all the other options! I wont go anywhere else! :)

Amazing experience Pete was very nice and explained everything and was very clean!!! I was a little nervous Pete helped me calm down and my piercing went flawless didn’t hurt at all!!!Thank you very much me and my mom are very happy and will definitely be coming back!!!

Very professional. Walked me through the whole process. I will be back.

Had a great experience at Pistol Pete’s! Pete himself pierced my cartilage and did my brothers tragus and did a fantastic job! He explained everything so clearly, everything was incredibly clean, and he did it quickly and with very little pain. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Very friendly. And quick with piercing!

I love working with the owner himself. He does such quality work, and you know that it’s something you are proud to have shown off on your body! I highly recommend Pistol Pete’s Tattoo.

Very professional. Talked us through the process clearly. Clean shop. Very friendly!

Pete is an extremely sharp tattoo genius. Went in just get a few Kanji symbols on my arm and let him work his magic. I am just blown away at how well my new ink came out. Colors pop off my skin and blend like no other. Any future master pieces will be orchestrated by this master mind. Extremely happy customer here!!!

Pete is the best artist in Texas! He is working on a piece for me that I absolutely love. I refuse to go to anyone else. Tell everyone you know about Pistol Petes Tattoo Saloon! Go today to get an awesome piece of artwork from Pete

Pistol Pete does great work! Friendly shop all around and a big emphasis on proper sterilization.Got my first tat last night and my wife added to her ink. Pete was professional, gave us a good price, and even stayed late to make sure we were taken care of.Both me and the wifey would recommend Pistol Petes to anyone looking for ink. Drive the extra distance... Its worth it!

Very humble and talented guy, I went in for a tattoo and left feeling empowered. Pistol Pete is one of the best and most knowledgeable artists I have encountered. A blessed man indeed! ❤️ my new ink!!! Arlingtons Finest!!

Awesome experience! Went for a piercing and would definately would recommend!

Ive read positive reviews about this place as a tattoo parlor so I thought that the piercing aspect would be good as well, and I needed some high grade jewelry. As someone who has had several piercings, I know my way around a fantastic piercing parlor to a poor one. This fell into the latter category.First, the piercer argued with my about the gauge of my piercing. Look, Ive had this thing for two years--I know what the gauge is!Second, he condescendingly tried talk me out of purchasing titanium jewelry. This is ironic because their site states, The piercers only use implant grade titanium with internal threading (what is one of the highest grades in jewelry).Third, he was about to put in an order without even measuring me. I had to insist that he take a look because any decent piercer would. The reason I stayed so long was because I like to support local businesses, but I should have walked after the first point. I dont like being treated like Im an annoyance rather than a customer so I left the store.The only reason I gave this place two stars is because the young lady at the front desk was very courteous and professional. Im sure the tattoo artists are great and all, but stay away if you want a decent piercing or someone who treats you with respect.

Pete is a chill dude who got my lip tattoo taken care of like a boss within 10 min. Prices were decent, just know he does quality work and you get out what you put in, he gets the job done efficiently and proffesinally. Awesome tattoo shop!!
