Saints & Sinners

My son has had two tattoos done by Will. He did a fantastic job. They are welcoming and friendly despite my anxiety about him getting tattoos. You will have to pay a deposit and the wait could be a couple of months but they are worth the wait. I highly recommend them.

First of all, let me start by saying Mike was FANTASTIC. Fun to talk to throughout the tattoo helpful, talented, personable. Yes, good guy and good artist.
But. Joe? no. Far from that. We came in with an idea for my husband as we wanted to get a tattoo for an important event in our lives. We discussed the idea when we put our deposits with the guy at the counter weeks before our appointments and everything seemed fine. Joe later called my husband the day before to say that he wasn’t going to be able to include all of his ideas in the design due to lack of space, which is fine. Not the first time we’ve had to revise a tattoo. So my husband went to the shop 30 minutes early as requested. Once he arrived, he found out that not only did Joe not have a design drawn up, but he diluted his idea down to something unrecognizable. So after 1.5 hours of waiting for Joe to draw up what he said «would be a take on the design», it basically boiled down to some roses and the number 13. The only thing that resembled the original idea was the «13». And not only that, he didn’t have the decency to come back up to the front and show my husband his design, he sent a coworker to pass on the bad news. My husband declined and forfeited the $ 60 deposit. Joe didn’t come back to the front to offer any plan b or even apology.
While my experience with Mike was 5 stars, Joe basically portrayed to us that a. he didn’t give a shit about tattooing my husband, b. didn’t have the customer service to discuss the dismal outcome of this experience, and c. showed us that we aren’t valued as customers in his eyes.
Really disappointing considering how highly other well known artists talk about the shop.

The was a very cool experience. My wife and our friend were getting their first tattoos, and they couldn’t have found a better place. The place is very clean, the people are very friendly and patient while we discussed designs. All the artists in the studio were busy while we were there and they did some great work.

These guys are awesome! The best line work I have ever seen. They will tell you what they think works best, and they are not wrong. Everyone in there is easy going and they make you feel comfortable.

Dave, Dave just Dave!
He is simply amazing.
My inlaws got inked for the 1^st time in their life at the age of 60s! And Dave was real patient and sweet with them.
MIL got a heart and her initial while FIL got his zodiac done. Crisp lines and neat work on both the tattoos. MIL was anxious while Dave was working on hers, but he constantly comforted her. Even put a version of Gayatri mantra to soothe her nerves down. We were out in an hour. So quick and so good!
I had decided I would get my 2^nd one done here and that too with Dave,
Fast forward to last night, I got mine done. And my BFF got hers too.
Both of our tattoos were small, and we were done in 30 mins flat. Again same efficiency, clean and crisp tattoos.
My BFF and her BF have now decided to correct their 1^st tattoo here.
I can’t stop praising his work, and his method of working. He knows what would look good, and works best. So do try to trust him wholeheartedly.
Okay, about the place — the shop is clean, restrooms are clean. They are cash only store, so go ahead get your moolah in cash beforehand. If you forget, no worries, there is an ATM at a walk-​able distance.
Both the times, I did not have an appointment. Reason: they do not take appointments over the phone, which is a bummer. But, if you are wanting to take one for a specific day or time, then you would need to visit the store and pay $ 60 deposit in advance and reserve your appointment. The tattoos area reasonably priced.
I got lucky both the times since the previous appointment did not show up/​showed up real late.
Overall, I am floored. Just waiting for the ink to heal and then flaunt it all over.
Will recommend friends and family for this place and artist.

It’s been about 2 years now and I still love my tattoo as much as the day I got it. Amazing detail friendly staff. Looking to add to my collection soon! Sal is awesome!

Got my sixth tattoo done by JP (sixth total, first by him). I was a walk-​in and there was a guy in front of me setting up an appointment. When it got to my turn, the guy told me to wait for the «counter guy». I thought it was strange he couldn’t help me, but could help the previous guy. I waited about ten minutes and the «counter guy» came in. He asked what I wanted and said it would be about $ 100. I filled out my paperwork, waited another 10 minutes, and JP called me back. Nice guy. Says «man» a ton. Easy to have a conversation with. He said he’s been doing it for over 20 years. After he was done, he asked me if they told me how much it would cost. I told him about $ 100 and he seemed almost surprised by that amount. I almost think he would’ve charged less had I not said that given that my tattoo took about 30 minutes if that.
Atmosphere is laid back, but almost where they judge you if you aren’t covered in tattoos.
Hot towel treatment: worst five seconds of my life. The hot towel hurt a hell of a lot more than the tattoo itself. If a pot of water that temperature fell on me, I would’ve gone to the ER. Yes, it subsides after a few seconds, but in those few seconds, tears will fill your eyes.

Great people. I came in and the store was slammed. Joe told me I could come back in later that night and stayed after the shop closed to tattoo me. He did a phenomenal job. Human hands have never tattooed straighter lines. The man is truly a master of many styles. Super clean and professional place!

I called this place only because the first shop I called did not pick up. They answered immediately and answered my questions. I was not happy that I cannot get a quote without actually coming in, but I understand it’s only because when you’re doing quality tattoos, you need to know lots of things before just throwing a price out there. This place seems really great so far at least they’re knowledgeable and they answer the phone…

After months of contemplation and consideration, I got my very first tattoo at this place yesterday along with my friend.
I was worked on by Dave and was extremely pleased with how he made the whole experience less nerve-​wrecking. I am a nervous person by nature and he really calmed me down while talking about the process and took the time to listen to what I wanted for my tattoo. Very friendly, very knowledgeable and VERY, VERY good taste in music!
When I told him I wanted a butterfly tattoo like one I had found on the internet but more me, he drew up a gorgeous design and implemented the colors that I wanted with ease. The end result is absolutely FANTASTIC and I am really pleased with how it has turned out. He took his time and really explained the process which was nice for a first timer. I also appreciated how he talked about the after-​care requirements since I’m a type 2 diabetic.
Very professional, very friendly, very enthusiastic about what they do and very clean.
The pricing was better than I expected too for the amount of work that was put into it. I am definitely going to be using Saints and Sinners for any future work and will recommend them to anyone who is looking to get a new tattoo.
Definitely a great experience for me and my friend!

I read all reviews and decided to get my very first tattoo done at S&S. I walked in in Friday afternoon and got attended by Dave, he asked my idea and drawer a beautiful rose and tattooed on my arm. The whole process is good and the pain is bearable. I like Dave’s work very much!

great people, great work, great prices. I love my tattoo!

Just had a tattoo done about 3 weeks ago. I am extremely happy with it. Joe does a fantastic job and he works enthusiastically and quickly. He created an original mandala and it looks fantastic. Lots of intricate dot work. My husband liked it so much, he decided to get his half sleeve done with joe as well. He’s a great artist and I’d trust him with any of my future artwork. I’d highly recommend joe.

Love my butterflies on my back! Was kind of pricey as I had to have 2 sessions but overall not too bad. I went to JC. He likes to chat and tries to work quick as possible.

These guys love what they are doing. And that is shown in their work.
They accept only cash.
Josh had done my tattoo. A pretty small one. Yet he took all the time to do it slow and professional.
Friendly, ready to help with suggestions, open for changes, nice guys altogether.

Very nice, polite… just a little pricy on fixing a tattoo. They wanted $ 80 to fix a 1’x1’ tattoo…

Went and saw Sal on Saturday April 18^th. Got a tattoo done right above my ankle. Was very professional when it came to the work side of things, and he and the other artists were having conversations that kept the mood light, even with a needle going in and out of my achilles! I will DEFINITELY be going back.

James Yocum does a great job

After asking all my friends about the best place to get some ink in DFW and doing hours of online research, I finally decided to believe the hype and Unilocal reviews about Saints and Sinners. Oh man am I glad I did. S&S is by far the best place in Dallas to get ink. The entire staff is incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and just generally funny/​nice people. I’m sure all of their artists are awesome but personally I had an amazing experience with Dave. First timers to 100^th timers, Saints and Sinners should be your new Dallas spot for getting work done.

What a great atmosphere. Funny guys that relax you while they are setting up. I already had 20 hours of tattooing with two other artists so I wasn’t really nervous. Dave did an awesome job on cursive, constitution style writing around my wrist. He’s a cool easy going funny dude. Everyone there is like that.
I will be going back to this place soon!

I called to get more information before I went in for my tattoo and the person I spoke to on the phone was really polite and helpful. They answered all of my questions.
I walked in this past weekend to set up an appointment and get a more accurate quote but Josh was actually available by some stroke of luck to take care of me right then.
Everyone was professional, and fun, the environment was clean, and Josh was patient with my nit-​pickiness about colors.
I had a great experience at S&S.
Would absolutely recommend to friends.

I finally was brave enough to get my first tattoo and I decided on Saints and Sinners based on great reviews and articles of top tattoo shops in DFW.
The whole experience was great (minus the pain of the actual tattoo)! The people I spoke with were very friendly and nice about this being my first time. No snobbery here! I was a walk in on a Friday evening and the wait wasn’t that long (maybe about an hour, but my fiancé was with me to keep me company). When I was up I was assigned to Dave. Wayyy nice guy! He gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and it literally took a minute for him to do it which was great because I have a low threshold for pain.
Very clean store! Very nice people! An overall great experience! While I honestly don’t think I will ever get another tattoo (but I can cross it off my bucket list) I would 10 000% recommend Saints and Sinners and Dave to everyone who is interested!

I went in with a couple of pictures of my family crest and a lot of anxiety about how good it would turn out. Dave took the material, created a great drawing, but I was still feeling a little nervous about the end result despite Dave’s attempts to reassure me that he would ‘make it cool’.
By the time he got to the shading, I had a permanent grin such on my face. Dave did an incredible job. As soon as I got a look at the finished product, I knew my old man was going to be jealous (he is) by how much better mine turned out than his. On top of that, Dave completed my new ink in less time and for less cash than predicted.
The shop was clean, had lots of flash and examples of the artists’ styles, and had a great playlist going on the stereo. My tat turned out great and Dave was awesome. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo.

Great parlor. Just the way a tattoo shop should be. Spit shine clean. Great décor. Super attention to detail. Plenty of flash. No hype or pomp. Even some rockin taxidermy.
I let my best friend do her homework to find a good artist in TX, and that she did! Josh did a fantastic big classic anchor for her. As soon as I saw it I called the shop to schedule my own. Got two done by him four days later! And what solid work he has done. I have for surely found my go to tattoo spot in Texas!
$ 60 cash deposit, credited towards whatever work you get done, required for making an appointment. This is a CASH ONLY establishment. There is an ATM located next door.
Every person I met at this lovely parlor was kind, charming, welcoming and funny.
…if anyone is wondering where the party is, just meet us at the Valero downtown later on… Or, so said some random dude out front.

Went back to S&S in September 2013, again on a bit of a whim. I unexpectedly lost my dad a month before and had decided to get a tattoo for him. Which I know would’ve made him angry, but I’m a funny way.
Also, I’m the only child of an only child, so I’m the last one left. I wanted to get a tattoo for that.
I came in and talked with Sal (I think– August thru December is mostly a blur) and told him what I wanted and brought examples of fonts I was thinking of. I wanted a slightly Art Deco font, but nothing he had really matched… So he wrote it out by hand. And it looks awesome.
We adjusted the size to get it just where I wanted it and made sure I was happy with the placement.
During the tattooing, we talked about my dad, Harley’s, and other stuff. It was a much needed experience and I smile every time I look at my tattoo.
My boyfriend also got a tattoo here, almost 2 weeks ago. Those crazy Raider fans! :) it looks sweet.
