I absolutely love how my tattoo turned out. I was very anxious to get another tattoo, the time before this at another shop I got a horrible tattoo(this was also a cover up) Gordi was so kind. Such a talented and fun guy. Made me feel so comfortable and obviously he does amazing work. I love every small detail he added. Couldnt be more pleased with the quality of his work. I will be getting all my future tattoos done by him.

This place is amazing with their work! My husband and I have both gotten our last 2 tattoos here, with another scheduled for both of us as well. We send anyone who asks here because the quality is exactly what your hoping for. The atmosphere is really laid back and easy going, so its easy to feel comfortable for the hours you may be spending here. We searched through a lot of tattoo shop options before settling on Ink817, but it was definitely the right choice and I would recommend to anyone to go here.

Took part in their Friday the 13th tattoo deal and piercing deal. Got the second holes in both of my lobes pierced and it was so quick and easy. Perfectly clean perfectly professional absolutely loved the experience. Also got one of their amazing flash tattoos that they offer with this deal. I didnt know I needed this tattoo until I saw it today. Matt did a fantastic job. It happened to be his flash so he was super excited to get to tattoo it. I listened to his idea and let him do what he felt was best for it and it turned out so amazing.

Talia did a awesome job on my tatt,on a fading tatt,the people there are very nice,very clean,highly recommended..thank you very much Talia,,this is a original sketch that my son had sketched for me and I am so glad that she was able to revive it, its going to be a long lasting memory, of a piece that my son sketched out for me, I am so happy and very pleased for the work she did on it,ill be going back,once again thank you very much Talia

Absolutely great artwork! I received my first tattoo from Gordi, he was very laid back and professional. I definitely recommend this tattoo shop!

Manuel over at Ink817 is awesome. Steady hand and one hell of an artist. Listens to what you want intently and makes sure he answers any questions you have. Very happy with the arm sleeve he put together for me! Badass shop. Thank you Manuel!

I went today to get my ear lobes pierced. It was so simple and the lady who did my piercings was so helpful and reassuring. I love my piercings so much! I only paid $50 total for both ear lobes and the aftercare cleaning solution they recommend. Super awesome place with chill vibes.

It was an amazing experience. I cant remember the lady name who pierced my nose, but she was GREAT! Explain to me what she was going to do while she was doing it and telling me what to expect and it came really cute!

I was very nervous going in for my first nose piercing but my piercer was very friendly and calmed me down and walked me through the entire process so there was no confusion as to what was going on. She pierced my nose right in the correct spot, i had no bleeding! she even offered to fix up my crooked ear piercing and now it looks so much better, this place is great

Got my kids ear pierced and they were really nice and patient!

New favorite place! Went in to get my daughters earlobes pierced on Friday the 13th. She walked out with three piercings I walked out with three piercings. Thank you Heather for such an awesome experience. Prices are great jewelry is beautiful and I will be back soon to do more on my other ear.

As a person who just got their first piercing they were understanding and kind to me.I got a walk in piercing, they did it swiftly and professionally, and they whole time they let me know what they were doing so that I could be calm. I recommend coming here if you are getting your first piercing and or short on time.

Went in to get a Belly piercing . Shop owner & piercer were incredibly comforting & experienced. They made sure and kept an eye on me afterwards even when I had quite a delayed reaction and fainted. I was properly taken care of and informed about what happened.Definitely worth $20 !! I don’t think I could’ve received the same treatment anywhere else :) Very safe & professional. Would recommend to everyone

We have been going to Ink817 for several years now. Just picked this up from Manuel, can’t say enough about how impressed I am with the result and his freehand style of tattooing. You’ve got to go check him out

Great experience getting a conch piercing today done by Heather. Super knowledgeable and let me know which piercings would and wouldnt work for my ear anatomy. I will definitely go back for more piercings in the future.

Only popped in for some information, but staff was very helpful. Shop was very clean!

Everyone was super kind and polite. It was easy to find, parking was a bit cramped but I went on a Saturday so thats to be expected.

The service here is great! I went in for an industrial piercing and I was done in like 5 minutes. I was pierced by Heather and she was really nice and explained the process and how to take care of my piercing. I also loved the fact that in their restroom they had a “Menstruation Crustacean Station” where they have like a bowl with a crab on it that has tampons and pads. I thought that was very cool and thoughtful. My experience here was amazing.

Very clean place I would definitely go back! Very professional and they know what they are doing. Highly recommend this place:)

Great place for a tattoo or piercing very good artist. Parking is a pain but its worth it. And reasonable on their pricing.Very clean and professional.And its next to Hanabi Ramen which has great ramen, beer and the Godzilla challenge.

Every single time I come here, I feel like Im home. Honestly love this place!

Gen was a badass! She did a beautiful blue bonnet for me. Simple and perfect shop was clean everyone super friendly. Would recommend it.

I got my cartilage pierced. She calmed me down so well. There was no pain at all. Was not able to take off the back, went back a few weeks later and they took it off for free. Would most definitely come back. 😁

Absolutely amazing! The staff were amazing, the price is fair and the environment is just so friendly and welcoming!

Gordi was phenomenal! Stopped in on a busy holiday; owner was very nice and professional, place was super clean. He Recommend Gordi for what I wanted, made an appointment which was super easy. He was able to work with the budget I had to give me such an amazing tat. He under promised an over delivered. The best line work I’ve seen and such a eye for detail, like little things I wouldn’t of thought needed he already saw and handled accordingly. You can tell he loves what he does and it shows by the level of service he gives you while doing his thing. Everyone I dealt with and talked to there were also super nice. You really could t go wrong with anyone’s work up there. Will be back!

I just went and got my vertical labret pierced by them and i love it!!! the piercer i had was SO sweet and reassuring. and i wasnt there for very long! quick and easy.

Ahhh-mazing! Heather did a fantastic job! Everything was sparkling clean, pierced my nose in and out during lunch, incredibly nice and professional. I tell you what - I dont know why it took me so long to do it. 😊 And I am so grateful. Thank you so much!

Went here for a spare of the moment nose piercing after lunch and I did not wait long at all. Everyone was nice, the place was clean and the woman that did my piercing was nice and quick.

Very very clean and welcoming environment. The piercer was very kind and explained how to care for my piercing. Also great prices 🥳🥳

Ashlee did me right, as usual!! She freehanded a lot of this tattoo and took the time to make it exactly what i wanted. she took my ideas and made it even better. i would recommend her 100%

I came in yesterday to get my septum pierced and everyone there was so sweet. The place was so clean and the lighting was awesome in there. The piercer was super sweet and did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and the piercing is beautiful. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends.

All my friends got our first tattoos at this place and it was very friendly and fast the workers and the owner are some of best people i’ve ever met the vibe is very chill and relaxed this is for sure the best place to go in fort worth

I always have a great experience at Ink817. I went in to get my septum pierced today I was in and out very quickly. It was very clean and professional as always. Ive gotten pierced several times at Ink817 and tattooed here as well. They keep getting voted the best tattoo shop in Fort Worth because they are the best.

The artists at this shop are so talented! Talia did an amazing job!

If I could give dirk more stars I would extremely impressed. I gave him a simple picture and he turned it into a masterpiece so much detail with such a small tattoo. Thank you so much I will be back for more work definitely.

Terrible over priced tattoos. Snobby artists. Shady owner! Pay a refundable deposit, the artist will cancel and reschedule a few times, then suddenly, youre out your deposit and the only way to get it back is to lie per the owners request and give them a 5 star review.

Theyre so nice at this tattoo shop, I have gone three times for piercings and think I will only go here for my future body modifications because of how helpful and kind they are.

Went in today and got a piercing . Compared to my first time getting my nose piercing else where , this time it didn’t hurt. I didn’t feel anything. Pretty PAINLESS. I was in and out in under 15 mins. Would’ve been less time but I happen to be a bleeder on my nose piercing. Would definitely come back in the future. Staff was so nice and incredibly clean. Thank you so much.

Got my septum pierced yesterday evening, was busy but they were polite and quick! Definitely recommend going! Nice gentlemen at the cash register whom had a hat, well mannered and the piercer made me feel calm and was really nice! Clean place also! Definitely coming back!

Came here with friends for a spare of the moment nose piercing and they were kind, quick and so helpful!

Ink817 itself was very clean, great prices and not crazy long wait times. Rider, Very informative and professional.

The vibe inside the shop was great. I got my nostrils pieced by Stephanie and she was awesome! Very kind soul who’s demeanor help ease my nerves. Would recommend getting your piecing here. 10/10 would do again.

Jeff Croci is the one to see for tattoos. He is very friendly, flexible, and of course, super talented. Just come in for a consult and he will work with you to get exactly what you want.The new location is much bigger and nicer. Everyone there is super laid back and friendly. Totally relaxing atmosphere thats perfect to get a tattoo.

Came here the other day to get my ears pierced. Staff was very friendly and Harmonee did an excellent job. Well be coming back here again :)

Very professional and the response time is more than impressive. I will be having my work done next Friday, but if it’s as good as the service, I’ll have an awesome tattoo.1/17/21After beginning my tattoo the above is understatement. Joshua and his staff are beyond courteous and attentive to your requests. My artist Gordi, is incredible and his work makes me wonder why anyone would go to anyone else. Gordi is also as creative as he is talented. I’m glad I found this place and have already scheduled another appointment!

I got a tattoo and a nose piercing here. Both did amazing and both are healing just wonderfully :3

At Ink817, I had a wonderfully great experience. Stephanie is the best piercer I have ever had and I am to return to this graceful tat and piercing parlor quite soon ;)

Perfect nose piercing, also Stephanie took plenty of time to make sure I knew how to keep my piercing clean and perfect. Definitely won’t go anywhere else for piercings.

Stephanie did an amazing job piercing my 7 year old daughters ears. She was so caring and sweet with her. She explained every step of the process to her and gave her a mirror to hold so she could see. Very clean place with good Covid protocols. We would definitely recommend!

I brought my daughter to get her Daith pierced. Her neurologist suggested this would help her migraines. Tom, whom is a former nurse, did her piercing and she was fantastic. I highly recommend her for your next piercing.

Took my spouse to get ear piercings. Stephanie was wonderful! She put my nervous spouse at ease. The shop was clean and everyone was friendly. Definitely coming back sometime to get a piercing (or two) myself.

Very nice, clean place, Masks are enforced. We loved it, everyone there were very nice people, We will be back.

Very clean and professional kinda mad they messed up my piercing and had to pay to get it redone :/

We love 817, the staff are wonderful and helpful, Gordi is a talented artist and we hope to get alot more artwork done by him.

Fantastic place to get pierced at a fantastic price! Janice answered all my questions and got done within 15 minutes. I highly recommend!

Avoid this place and Nicole at all cost. I received my tattoo from Nicole and its been the worst experience and tattoo I could have imagined. After the first session on my tattoo she rescheduled me to come in two weeks later only to turn me down after I drove up to the shop because she didnt think the tattoo was healed enough. She rescheduled my appointment for several weeks out on a Sunday without telling me I wouldnt be able to pay with a card (I paid my first session and deposit with a debit card) THE NIGHT BEFORE THE TATTOO. I explained to her I couldnt do cash and that I would need to reschedule to a day I could use my card. I have since received NO RESPONSE from Nicole after multiple follow ups and she has yet to refund my $60 deposit effectively stealing it. After reaching out to the manager of this shop he offered to refund my deposit ONLY IF I would leave a 5 star review with no comment of what happened, so these reviews on here with 5 stars and no comments should warn you that this place isnt as highly rated as they seem. Please do more research before coming to this shop as there are tons of other tattoo shops in this area. I have reached out to multiple other artists and they have all pointed out how the tattoo I received from Nicole doesnt make any sense structure wise and is sloppy so now I will have to pay even more to have Nicoles work fixed.

Shaun was amazing! He made our night and he made sure we knew what we wanted as well as being a professional. Define coming back soon!!!😄😄😄😄

Amazing piercing. Quick, friendly staff.

Friendly and experienced workers, prices are very reasonable!

Have gotten all my piercings here since i was 17 (with my parents consent). On piercing number 6 now with 1 tattoo thrown in as well. Any time someone asks for piercing recommendations this is my number 1. 10/10 would go again

I got both nostrils pierced today by Gordi and he did amazing !! They were absolutely perfect, a fantastic price, and he helped ease my nerves.

Went in for a nose piercing, super clean shop, opens all of the equipment in front of you. Everyone was super cool.

Very unorganized and didnt have jewelry i needed.... But was a nice shop

Amazing service it was super quick and the employees were super chill, I came in for snake bites and my 3rd piercing on my left ear, since covid is still hanging out they arent doing oral piercings which is completely understandable. It was about 30 for my ear which is dope, definitely coming back when covid isnt around!!

10 Stars to Dirk for giving me the tattoo Ive always wanted. I came in to get a tattoo for Friday the 13th in March, then decided not to. I asked to book an appointment asap and they assigned me to Dirk. I got to the shop, had some good laughs, and got what I wanted. Always wanted to have a butt tattoo and I got it. He didnt make feel weird about it like other shops do. He made me laugh the entire time. I enjoyed and will be coming back for my next tattoo and first piercings. Thanks, Dirk! Love ya, dude!

I went to go get a piercing today for the first time in my life. It was a lobe piercing, but I had to get it done 3 times due to human error. I have a low pain tolerance, but it was a fun experience! The employee who took care of me was very friendly and I explained to her it was ok that she messed up. At the end she told me the piercing was free and gave me a complementary cleaning kit that instructs me on how to clean my new peircing! I would definitely come back.Update 11/14: My ear would not stop bleeding, and since my ear endured too much trauma I ended up taking it out. This sucks that this was my first piercing experience. The woman who pierced my ear was wonderful either way, but maybe next time in the future she should use the clamp tool to clamp down the ear first and then pierce it. This could perhaps avoid the situation that I went through!

Ink817 will always be our go to tattoo & piercing shop. We appreciate the creativity and artistic talent to create one of a kind designs while listening to exactly what we want. Piercings have been perfect and extremely reasonably priced. The shop is always clean and the artists are true professionals while still having a fun atmosphere.

My husband and I were both set up with Dirk. He did an amazing job on our tattoos. He was super busy because the piercing person was out. He never rushed us and he managed his time well to take car of everyone. I really appreciated how he paid attention to detail. Prices are very fair and We will def be back!

I highly recommend ink817. Staff is friendly and welcoming. I experienced a hard working artist who cares about the art and his client. I will continue to do business with this shop and refuse to go anywhere else! Dirk is an amazing artist who is always on the grind.

These guys are super friendly and always do an amazing job!

Heather was awesome!

Well, this place by far is the cheapest Ive found and the quality looks great tattoo/piercing/environment wise so thats freakin awesome. Just sad they dont do lip piercings :(

Crashlee did an awesome job on my rose tattoos. She was willing to work with me on the design and she created a beautiful and unique piece of art for my arm.

Zack is great!

I love this place, they are always very friendly when you walk through the door, extremely clean, and professional. Ive had 4 piercings done here, they are always even and your piercer is always willing to answer any questions. Ive even had them put new jewelry in for me with out having eyes rolled in my direction like at other places. Thanks yall! Ill be back!

We had such a great experience with Tom piercing my two little girls ears!! So thankful. She talked to my girls calmly when they were nervous and made them feel comfortable. Tom also says she takes piercing little girl ears very seriously because it is the same piercings they will have when they are grandmas. I love that!!

Already have a nose ring but wanted a double same side..They are bomb painless...ill be back for more piercings and ink work ty

Every time I’ve had my nose pierced it goes bad after a few months. I had a double piercing on one nostril and it was infected and nothing could permanently take it away. The lady fixed my nose rings and and explained to me why I was having problems instead of leaving me to figure it out. And they have this amazing emu oil that helps with any bump you have on a piercing. I used the emu oil and crushed aspirin and I haven’t seen a bump or discoloration and it’s been a month so far. Definitely appreciate her for saving my nose lol

As someone who doesnt have a lot of work done yet, Im always very cautious about where I go. Ashlee came really well recommended, and Im so happy that I decided to take a leap of faith and just DM her. She responded quickly and luckily, she was able to fit me in her schedule! When I got there, the studio space was very clean and open. Crash was there to meet me right away, she even had my tattoo already sketched out. I only sent her maybe two pictures, but she put pen to paper and drew my vision to life! I immediately got good vibes from her. She really took the time to make sure I loved the tattoo, placement and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. What I really liked about her was that she is a wife and mom and it was so easy to talk to her. She is also so talented, patient and detail oriented and even paints! I really believe that if you tattoo with the right talent and energy, that will translate onto a persons skin. She really, really helped me celebrate my grandmas life and honor her memory. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants really clean, detailed line work and someone that just radiates positive energy. I will definitely come back to her for more work!

I have finally found a shop that has actually wowed me with their work and this will forever be the shop that I visit! Thank you Dirk! Phenomenal work outstanding I’ll be back!

Absolutely the BEST place for piercings!!! Thank you Ink817! We had a wonderful experience, my daughter is very pleased.

Hands down the best. It’s like coming home or walking into your local pub “where everyone knows your name.” Aaron Stevens is the man, as is Jose, Crash, and Nicole. Great work and good vibes all around.

Thank you Will for such a great tattoo for both me and my niece. This was such an emotional piece for us as it was my mothers actual heartbeat. Not only did Will rock the tattoo but he showed such compassion to us about our losing such a special woman.Josh, I love the location of the shop and the entire feel once inside. You are going to be the top shop due to the amazing talent of all that you have brought in to join you. Ink817 is top notch!

Went in and sat patiently for 20 min. waiting for someone to just acknowledge us. Tried catching their attention but we were totally ignored. All the artists were talking and laughing together. It isnt a big place so its not like they couldnt see us. We stood at the counter first then sat down and waited. Finally just left and went to another shop where they greeted us right away even though they were twice as busy. Not sure why not one person working there couldnt just say hello that way we knew eventually theyd help us. Really disappointing experience for sure.

I took my 5yr old daughter here for ear piercing. Many studios will not do children that young so we made the drive to Ft Worth. Dont trust your kids to anyone but a pro and their piercer is definitely a pro, she was very kind to my daughter.

My wife and I got nose piercings from Jen! She was really nice and helpful

Man this place did not accept my id

Provides Excellent Customer Service, Very Friendly Staff. Highly Recommend, will not go anywhere else.

Aaron is the best artist around stella work and a helluva guy

I had my first two tattoos done by Dirk and they came out amazing!

Great experience piercing my daughters ears!

Ink817 has crazy talented artist, a great atmosphere, and a perfect location in Fort Worth. Every tattoo I talked to there loves what they do and has a passion to create art with you and for you. I would highly recommend Ink817!

Absolutely love it here for piercings

Great staff! Very welcoming and talented people! Dirk is in the process of doing my Tim Burton sleeve and I couldn’t be more stoked!!

Had an appoint with Tom on Saturday and she was great! She explained everything and even with the interruptions (she had multiple piercings come in) she stayed professional. Will definitely be back.

Have been with Will Carter since the beginning. Hands down has more talent then anyone else in Fort Worth. Josh Gonzalez has done a fantastic job with the shop very upscale, clean and organized. Glad my boy has found a good home as well as a great employer. I highly recommend taking your business to ink 817

Can I give 10 stars? Best tattoo shop ever! Ashlee has done all my tattoos except for one. She even moved her schedule around to cover up this one tattoo, when I came in ugly crying because I had a permanent grammar mistake on my arm! I would trust every single artist here. They are so kind, and put everything they have into their work. It is a safe, clean, environment that makes you feel right at home. I will NEVER make the mistake of going somewhere besides Ink 817.- Teal

Dirk did an awsome job and is such a great guy. Definitely my go to artist from now on. He sid a yin yang on my shoulder and it is amazing.

I was very impressed with the shop. The outside appearance of the place is nice and it is very clean!!!!The owner, i do believe his name was Josh, even offered me a tour of the place. This place is clean from the waiting area to the back room.Every one that I came in contact with was very nice and pleasant.Eddy, my tattoo artist, was very professional and did an excellent job on the tattoo that I had requested. He answered all of my questions.If you want a tattoo done. This is the place to go.

Love the place going back ,they do beautiful work.
