Tigger’s Body Art

Great service! Professional, friendly, knowledgable and did an awesome job on my tattoo. It healed great, so when my niece had problems with her’s they fixed it, no problem. We will be back!

I absolutely loved this place. I went in for my first tattoo yesterday and it came out exactly how I wanted it and more. Python did my tattoo and he literally was so gentle I barely felt it.
I actually had a consultation set up for another place prior to walking into their shop. The other place was ranked high ranks and some. When I went in they were horrible I wont say where I’m sure you’ll know. They practically knocked what I wanted and made me feel terrible the whole time. So I then left. I drove over to Tiggers because I use to live down the street. Anyways they were awesome super kind, fun, professional and truly caring. I mean this is a permanent deal.
So, I highly recommend for anyone to go to this shop and see Python.

I told my sister when she turned 18, we were going to Deep Ellum for her first tattoo. I parked off Elm street so we tried Elm Street Tattoo, but they looked at us like we were aliens and said they were closed for the day — it was 3 pm during Tattoo Fest but ok — so we ended up at Tiggers! And I’m SO glad. The atmosphere is too perfect. I had Randy, she had Jake.
Randy laid the stencil on me, I told him I would like it bigger. He did that for me happily. Everything was sterile, and he wrapped it for me. He was done before Jake, that surprised me.
My sister purposely got hers darker. Randy told me «this is literally the prettiest blue ever» he asked of I wanted it faded out or one color. I said «whatever you think», and he seriously recommended the fading. It is out of this world, people ask me all the time if it’s real or not because the color is so vibrant.
It took about 2.5 hours, I couldn’t be happier.

Randy Nichols rock an awesome pot leaf tat for me. Professional, skilled AND a really nice guy. Go see him and the others at Tiggers!

Randy did an excellent job. Attention to detail was OCD level perfectionist. I don’t sit still and he was patient with me the entire time. My Dumbledore come out better than I could have hoped for. I recommend him to anyone that sees my tattoo. And I am prone to showing it off. I couldn’t be happier.

Great experience. Excellent customer service, clean and professional. I highly recommend!

I am super super disappointed in my tattoo. My boyfriend and I walked in on Halloween night to get Jack O’ Lanterns. We tried to go to 2 other tattoo shops in Deep Ellum and they were both closed, then we came across Tigger’s. When we walked in the manager greeted us and was super nice and helpful. The shop is really clean and you can tell had recently been remolded, it’s a beautiful shop!
I’m very disappointed in the outcome of my tattoo and my artist, Randy. I didn’t do much research on the different artist like I normally would do for a bigger tattoo because I figured, it’s just a small pumpkin, any experienced artist should be able to tattoo it to my liking and… I Was wrong! Randy was rude, when I would ask him for his opinions as far as color, size, placement, etc he mainly responded with, «I’m not gonna tell you what to get tattooed on you!» When all I wanted was a professional opinion. I honestly wish I would of just walked out, Bc it crossed my mind. But I was already there and we had already paid ahead of time, which in all my tattoos I have, quite a few, I’ve never had to pay the full amount bf the work was finished. The outcome of My Jack O’ Lantern is a faded reddish-​orange color. The outline of his face was suppose to have a glowing purple look, and I’m almost positive my 9 year old niece could color in a better Jack O’ Lantern. RANDY, was introduced as one of the Senior artist, been tattooing for years! He is by the far the most unprofessional artist I’ve ever had to deal with and definitely the worse! My overall experience at Tigger’s and with RANDY was a waist of ab $ 200 not including what it’s going to cost me to have this shit Fixed!

These guys r some the best artist in dallas. jake did a amazing job on my piece. already planning on more mad work from him. so if u looking for some high quality work hit them up

This was my second visit to this place for a tattoo. The first time I went two years ago, a guy that worked down the street at Taboo was renting a space in the shop since Taboo was being remodeled. My experience was nothing short of great. My roommate & I walked in on a Saturday after midnight and were immediately greeted at the door with artists wanting to look at what we had in mind. We discussed, decided, paid up and were in the rooms in no time. My artist was Joe and my roommate’s was Jake and in my opinion both turned out exactly as we wanted, given they are both totally different and done by two different artists. The place was clean and Joe was extremely nice and I could tell he took pride in his work. While I do think they are priced more on the expensive side, you do get what you pay for. I will definitely be going back for my future tattoos!

When the bf and I were thinking about new tattoos, I of course hit up Unilocal and decided we’d try Tigger’s given their good reviews. We called around 7pm on Sunday to make sure they were open. They said they were open until 11pm and accepted walk-​ins. Awesome! We headed down to Deep Ellum (about a 30 min drive for us) and to Tigger’s, arriving around 8pm. The first thing we saw was a sign on the door that said they were closed because the A/​C wasn’t working. But, we saw people sitting on couches inside and a guy was leaning against the window outside smoking. I asked him if they were closed and he asked what we were needing because they were planning on heading home. We told him we were both wanting tattoos and he invited us inside to discuss… talk about mixed signals.
Inside, we showed him what we were thinking and he immediately said one of the tattoos would have to be 4 times bigger than what we wanted it to be in order for him to do it. So, their A/​C was out, they were planning on closing 2 hours early and they had to enlarge one of our tattoos to a huge size to even attempt to do it. excuses left and right. It was quite clear they did not want to do tattoos and we left.
Another tattoo shop in the neighborhood told us their A/​C has been out off and on for months. Not sure how they’re still in business if this is how they operate. No worries, we found a great place in the neighborhood that made us feel welcome and were happy to take our money!

VERY professional, polite, honest. Me and my sis came and to get simple, matching tattoos. There were executed very well by Bob who was very courteous and didn’t swing us any attitude for being newbees to the body art world. Very good experience for this first timer!

Tigger’s welcomed me to the club and I’m surprised that I actually had a good experience despite Pat Baby being a jerk to the gentleman that greeted us and took care of payment. Do not come in acting full of yourself and attempt to haggle for prices. I was so embarrassed to the point that I was scared my artist would purposely jack up my tattoo. Fortunately, Phaysone was amazing and tatted exactly what I wanted.
A couple of my friends have had their tattoos done here by Phaysone, but I walked in not really caring who did my tattoo because it wasn’t an elaborate design like theirs. I figured any artist employed at a reputable parlor could do it, but I’m actually glad Phaysone did it. He was so easy to work with, personable and far from intimidating (plus, he likes Star Trek as well).
I brought in a print of the insignia I wanted, which he at first just traced. I didn’t like how the lines were thick and the symbol seemed big on my forearm, so he went back and drew it out smaller with thinner lines and it was perfect.
Since I was as fresh as green grass, he gave me a small taste of the pain so I could get used to it. Did it hurt? Well obviously, yeah. Was it completely unbearable? No. Whoever told me it feels like a cat licking you is a complete liar. It clearly feels like being stabbed by a needle, what else?!
Everything was very clean, new needles were used and each artist had their own private room so nobody was being tattooed out in the open with breasts baring. Everyone was friendly and I didn’t get a hint of pretentiousness, so I’ll probably be back when I have more moola for an add on.
Bring cash since it’s much easier for the shop to handle. If you like anyone’s work, I suggest setting up an appointment with them first, but they also accept walk-​ins, which I did.

I have gone to see Python for 3 of my tattoos, and all 3 look amazing! One I brought in a design and he altered it to fit the part of the body I was wanting it to fit & the other two I gave him an idea that I was wanting & he drew it up for me. What he drew up looked better than what I thought in my head. He’s also very patient, so if there’s a spot that hurts & you need to take a break he has no problem. I highly recommend Python for your next tattoo experience!

I’d absolutely recommend you getting tatted up here! This joint has been around for quite a while. Actually when I was at the sweet age of 18 (!) I had my rite of passage here and got inked up. It’s a little sunshine tattoo that didn’t take long but they made sure it was virtually pain free! The artists are all quick and professional with what they do. Prices are decent I suppose for a tattoo place. I don’t have much to compare it to honestly! But anyone who wants to get it done and not have to worry about sanitary issues it’s worth a shot! They are reliable, clean, and do good work.

It’s not the place but the people that make a difference with any experience. The owner should send Jake for some people/​customer sat skills training, the guy is as sarcastic and annoying as it gets, my wife and sister in law thought the small tattoos they were doing were favors from this asshole. I get that he is an «artist» but you’re still dealing with customers and should have some basic skills on how to treat and deal with people so they want to return. On the other hand and as in prior visits Joey was very helpful and took good care of us while waiting and selecting the artwork. They did remodel the place, looks great! Next time we’ll go straight to our guy at Taboo, their sister company down the road. Owner: you need to please do something about this disgruntled employee…

Popped in when they opened on a weekday. Showed Python the design I worked up. He explained that the detail I wanted in such a small space would have to be re-​worked. I appreciate the honesty and professionalism. In just a few minutes he enlarged it and simplified it a bit and it still looked beautiful. Using the smallest of needles he had the whole thing done in about 30 minutes and it costs $ 140. (they have an atm machine for you to use)
Back in the day my husband used to play in a band in various clubs around Deep Ellum, and I’ve spent many nights hanging around Tiggers. One thing you can be sure of there is cleanliness and professionalism. It has been remodeled.
When my daughter works up the nerve to get her tiny tattoo, I’ll recommend Tiggers… and Python.
I’ll upload a photo…

Could not have asked for a better all the way around tattoo event. We planned out the tattoo with jake, who worked with three girls both patiently and expertly. We went to two other shops in Deep Ellum and just did not receive the service I would expect for such a FOREVER experience. I recommend Corgill, Jake, and Phaysone all day everyday!

Friday night in the city. Well, early Friday evening anyway. I have been contemplating some new ink for sometime now and it was a special day, I decided it was time to go on a mission. I’m not originally from this area, so knowing that Tigger’s Body Art has a reputation for good shit, my prettier half and I went in to check it out.
We got there around 4, and the shop had a few customers, but not many. The shop is really clean and simple. There’s some cool art on on the walls in addition to some flash, pretty standard stuff. We were immediately greeted by Joey the intern, who was very helpful and interested in what I wanted from the get go. I knew before we went who the artists are and how their schedules get pretty booked up, so I was not expecting much on this particular afternoon except some ballpark prices for the tattoos I want.
Joey the intern, continuing to be very helpful, quoted me some prices and told me that I could do it today. Sonofabitch, I was in. He helped us draw it up initially, we did the paperwork, I paid the piper and he passed us off to Joey the tattooer.
Joey the tattooer did a great job and we’re very happy with it. He was all business, so not much chit chat, but that’s cool since he was paying attention to the tattoo he was putting on me. His line work is excellent, he doesn’t dick around, and he’s quick. His work space is clean and professional.
Overall verdict? Tigger’s did not disappoint. I went from checking out the shop I’d heard about for so long, to getting a tattoo that is better than my expectations. The price was fair in my estimation. I’m sure you could find a cheaper shop, but I would never recommend shopping a tattoo on price. Joey is gonna be my go to guy for my future work, which will be in just a couple of weeks. I’ll update then with pictures.

My friend and I went here on Saturday to get tattoos. The entire staff was welcoming and very patient with the two of us. It was the first tattoo for my friend and we had gone to multiple places, but we fell in love with their attention to detail and hospitality. Python did an awesome job and we are in love with our tattoos. Bob and Corgill were also a blast to talk to. We will definitely go back! Thank you for a wonderful experience, guys ;-)

This review is not based on the quality of the ink but rather on the following:
–I walked in one evening and was overwhelmed by the smell of… what it is like when you walk into a public bathroom after someone has taken a giant dump — I hope it’s not always like that!
–My man got a quote that was ridiculously expensive, at least 2−3x more than it would be elsewhere for a relatively straight to the point, medium-​sized tattoo
–Full price of tattoo was required up front — what if it wasn’t finished or the quality was unsatisfactory?
Edit: Hi Cody, Thanks for the reply! What day was it that the sewers were being worked on? We were walking all over Deep Ellum and didn’t notice anything elsewhere. It could be my sensitivity to that particular scent. As far as the quote went, I understand what you’re saying, I am merely comparing our experience with quotes, etc. to what we received at Tigger’s. I specifically said I was not rating quality of the tattoos. We did not get any tattoos done since we were only browsing styles and getting quotes. From the other reviews on here, it is clear that a lot of people are happy with their tattoos.
