Absolutely can not recommend this place enough! Amazing. The waiting area is the coziest shop waiting area I’ve ever been in; I could just sit and hang out there with a cup of coffee for HOURS. Everyone at the shop was so nice and friendly and helpful. The artists are all super talented and really talented. I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Paloma, the apprentice, who was super sweet and just so talented already and I can’t wait to see her career progress. I’ve already recommended this shop to at least 10 people.
Got my first tattoo and nose piercing done here!! they were super nice, will definitely come back soon. I got my tattoo done by Joe and i loved it
This shop is incredible! Char has done my work and has been a complete badass since my first consultation. Her work is unbelievable and you can see why her shop runs just as smoothly. Respect her and her time and youll have one of the best artists out there dedicated to giving you exactly what you want. Thanks Char!
I have had over 70 hours worth of work done at Gold Dust over the past 2.5 years and they are the highest quality, most professional and most safety-conscious shop I have ever encountered. Char and team are all amazing artists, the very best in the business.If you are fortunate enough to be able to get an appointment here know that the work is worth the wait and worth every penny charged. I couldn’t be happier with my tattoos - Gold Dust gave me the quality-of-life improvement I set out to achieve initially and for that I will always be grateful.Remember, long after the money is gone you’ll still have to wear the work on your body forever and here you’ll actually be happy to get what you paid for. Know what you want, be on time (every time), don’t be cheap and take your aftercare seriously and you will have an AMAZING experience here. 5+ Stars!
The place is awesome. The artists and staff are amazingly talented, friendly, and are great to talk with while things are going on.Moses specifically is an amazing artist. I came in with a tattoo idea years in the making and very dear to my heart, and he did incredible job making it real and absolutely nailed it. I couldnt be happier and I will recommend him to everyone I know.
The place? Awesome. The team? Incredible. Worked with Babs Niblo and the results were well worth the wait time. (The wait was also kind of my fault. If youre scheduling a tattoo in the summer thats on you).
I went here to get my nose pierced and it was an easy experience. I was in and out extremely fast (I did call ahead) and the person who does piercings (Tearanie) was really nice, made me feel less nervous, and definitely knew her stuff!
I came here last week, with a friend. So she could get her septum piercing done. The customer service was amazing, and the shop is gorgeous!!!! Taylor, was very helpful and informative. And Tearanie, did an awesome job on her piercing. And the atmosphere of the shop, has a very mellow and calming vibe.
Love Gold Dust professionalism and energy. Very welcoming and great environment. I got a spine and shoulder tattoo by Robert and it was really amazing. He worked with me to make sure I was happy with the final product. Would recommend this shop to anybody in the area looking to get a tattoo.
Everyone was friendly. My piercer was great. We had a problem with my Vertical Labret bar being too short so I went back to the shop about a week after getting pierced and the piercer wasn’t there because it was her off day but she came in to switch it out with a longer bar.
Talked with the manager about getting a tattoo. She was very knowledgeable & friendly. Gave me a website to pick font & design my tattoo & a referral for one of her artist at the studio. Yes, I will be returning for my tattoo.
I have been going to Good Dust Tattoos & Fine Art for several years now. Like 4 years. The first time I went was for a small cover up and that experience was amazing. Went great. Quality, price, and time of the tattoo was more than I asked for. Now I’ll say about a year and half ago I started a huge chest piece of Michael the Arc Angel and my experience was great. The owner of the business takes pride in cleanliness and safety of her customers and her employees. As Covid hit I haven’t seen any tattoo shop take pride in sanitation as Gold Dust. The shop is very well ran and very well taken care of. All the employees greet you and are all very well mannered. Chars work is amazing and I can’t tell you how happy I am with my tattoo. Her prices are way better than most competitors in the area, and she will work around your schedule to get the job done. Thank you Gold Dust for such an amazing experience and thank you Char for bringing my tattoo to life. I can’t wait to see what we can work on next.
Was in Dallas for Thanksgiving. My 17 year old daughter wanted to get her belly button pierced. She googled places she could do this at and Gold Dust came up and had great reviews. We called and drove over. VERY professional, clean, cool place in a cool neighborhood. Was very efficient and quick. My daughter is afraid of needles and I think shes now cured!!
Got a nose piercing here awhile back, and had to ask for aftercare because I was not given it. Was told to use soap to clean it, and it got infected by the next morning. Was really disappointed and hope nobody else has to go through that or develop a keloid due to poor care instructions
Got some sick black work tattoos from Chris. Friendly atmosphere, and talented artists. Chris spent lots of time with me and made sure the tattoo was exactly what I wanted. Don’t make the same mistake I did at first, and go to some low end tattoo shop. Come here to get quality tattoos, it’s well worth it.
Babs was my tattoo artist and did a phenomenal job—this woman has so much talent, y’all!! She incorporated everything I wanted in my whale fluke to help commemorate my trip to Iceland. She walked me through the entire sterilization process to assure clean needles were being used. The shop was kept very clean, had lots of places to sit, and the staff was welcoming. Babs is an incredible artist!! I recommend her and Gold Dust to everyone I know. 😊
Extremely kind people who made me feel safe and helped with my first ear piercings!
Moses is one of the most amazing artists ever. I love this studio and all the people who work here. Best experience and best artists.
I went in to get a piercing done and the piercer was so profesional, friendly and knowledgeable. The whole process was quick and seamless. She made me feel comfortable and like a valued client. The front desk attendant was also very nice. I will be returning here.
I got my nipple piercing done here! The lady who did them was very professional and quick. Took about 3 minutes and then I was out! I paid $80 for both of my nipples to be pierced.
My sister and I got tattooed by Zach Mathews, he was awesome! Did such a great job and was super nice. The place was very clean and COVID safe. We will be back for sure!!
I will 100% be coming back for more piercings! Tearney (I am so sorry if I butchered that) is amazing. She did my second lobe piercings and if I want to get anything else, Ill be asking for her. This place takes walk-ins, so I called at around 6:30, was at the shop by 7, and done by 7:30. Great experience overall!!!
I put a lot of research into getting a cover up done and Im happy I chose Moses Veliz at Gold Dust Tattoos & Fine Art. Moses is an incredible artist. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to his craft and I have complete trust in him which, is all you can ask for in a tattoo artist. Plus, hes incredibly funny which helps when spending hours getting tattooed. Check out his art or better yet, go see him.Gold Dust is an awesome shop. Its clean and inviting, in a popular Dallas neighborhood. Overall an amazing experience.
This place is AWESOME! I just moved to the area and was looking for a new artist. All of the art is super easy to view from Instagram or the website so you can find an artist that has the style youre looking for. I worked with Zach and gave him almost no direction on what I wanted and he created something beautiful. The studio is so clean, the entire time I was there they were sanitizing and cleaning between customers. All of the artists are such genuine people and have fun talking to each other during the process. The after-care instructions are clear and easy to follow, if youre getting a first-time tattoo I can imagine this would be a GREAT place to do it. Overall 11/10. Ill be back!
My design from Char was not great. I requested edits 72 hours prior to my appointment which was 3+ months in the making. I received zero design updates or communications until 5 hours after my scheduled appointment. I was later told edits would happen at the appointment... A tattoo that would cover my shoulder and my entire upper arm - the design for this would essentially be done on the fly minutes before my tattoo. HmmShe is talented no doubt but her process needs to be revamped. While in her shop discussing the tattoo I noticed a very elitist attitude from her. Her colleagues seemed to be walking on egg shells around her, almost scared of her in a way.All in all - bad vibes and bad customer service.
I didn’t get any services done when I did a walk in, but the staff was so helpful and KIND! Thank you for your patience while we decided what to do.
I LOVE GOLD DUST. I love that Im supporting a woman-owned business🖤Ive been tattooed by Babs twice now, and shes the best. So chill and such a great artist. Ive also been pierced by Tieranie(probably butchered the spelling😌) and she was so great as well, made me feel very comfortable. I look forward to returning in the future!!
Artists were very cool people, very talkative and knowledgeable. Chris was my artist and he did an amazing job on my tattoo and will probably set up another one with him in the near future. Shop was clean and organized. And they used proper sanitation.
Gold Dust is an amazing tattoo shop. Great service and friendly people, all of whom make you fee comfortable.The shop itself and all of the workstations are obviously kept very clean and sterile, and it is apparent that safety is a #1 concern.All of the artists are unique and fantastic in their own right, super chill, friendly and easy to talk to.I had my piece done by Moses, and I really cant say enough good things about the experience. From the consult, to booking to execution, Moses was the consummate professional and just a mind blowing artist.Moses took an idea, which was vague at best, and turned it into a unique, beautiful piece of art which I am very proud to display. He talked with me through the entire process to ensure his design and ideas were in line with what I was wanting. His consistent follow up during recovery and after care went above and beyond. All in all a superb experience which I will be doing again!Highly recommend!
Such an amazing place! The whole staff is super friendly. Babs did my tattoo and she made me feel comfortable during the entire experience. I definitely will come back for future tattoos! :)
Best service hands down!!! Got my tongue pierced by Lady T and it was smooth, quick and painless. 🥰🥰🥰
I went here last Friday 7/17 to get my nipples pierced. So quick and painless. The piercer was very careful and told me every step that was being done. She waited till everything was set up before puncturing my nipples which was perfect. I enjoyed that she made sure I was comfortable before even attempting my piercings. The shop is great, employees were amazing and kind. A very low key vibe which I loved. They’re attention to Covid 19 is a plus, no overcrowding, checking temperatures, and making sure people were wearing masks. I’m definitely coming back for some tattoos and possibly another piercing. Also gave me great instructions and different ways on cleaning and treating my piercings.
Great Vibe...awesome 👌 service!!
Taylor is the best . Robbie is the best this place is the best period. Clean, professional and atmosphere is great
I’ve been getting tattooed by Babs for almost a year now and every piece I get from her she continues to amaze me with her talent. Everyone is always so kind and I can’t recommend Gold Dust enough! They also have great COVID safety measures in place.
Where do I start.... Everyone was so sweet! I took my oldest daughter to get her nostril pierced a d I got my nostril and septum pierced. Very professional, covid aware and practicing great safety protocol (took our Temps, limiting capacity, had us sanitize, masks, ect). The piercings were virtually painless and look amazing! I would highly recommend.
Amazing staff, following normal tattoo as well as covid-19 saftey precautions. Make sure you get an appointment, the artists are often booked. Babs has done an amazing job on my tattoo.
Babs is the best! Amazing artistic talent, cool laidback personality, and awesome attention to detail, not to mention affordable! I’ve already recommended her to all my friends and you should visit her if you are in the Dallas area!
Would give more stars if i could. Got a black/grey sunflower on my ankle through Matt. the price was really decent for the work done, he worked with me and was patient with my preference, and gave tips on how the tattoo could improve so i could get the best tattoo as possible. I have tattoo shops near me but I drove 2 hours to go to this one as the reviews were just glowing and my tattoo wasnt a specific or difficult style to do. Everyone there was so nice to me and amazing people to chat to. My tattoo turned out great, and needed minimal touch up. I would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone; tattoo virgins and veterans alike. 11/10
Visiting from Florida, they surely made me feel like home. The friendly customer service was top notch. The service was quick and the piercer made sure I was comfortable through the process. I truly recommend this place
My mom and I got our matching tattoos (and I got another) from here and it has always been such a great experience!! Babs is fantastic :) would recommend her and Gold Dust to anyone.
I had Zach as my artist and he was absolutely amazing!! It was my first tattoo and he was super patient and nice and explained everything that was going to happen and how to take care of it afterwards. I didnt get a pic before he wrapped it up. But I LOVE it. He took my ideas and made them come alive. I drove 3 hours to get him to do my tattoo after lots of research and review reading. Yall. Go. To. Zach. At. Gold. Dust. Tattoo. You will not be disappointed!!!
Awesome place! Just got my nose pierced!! Call ahead as they have strict new policies during pandemic!! Totally worth it, clean and welcoming vibes!
Babs is killer! Her watercolor is quality and her line work is sick. She’s def our go-to for the best tattoos!
I got my septum pierced 7-29-2020 by the woman whos name I can not spell so Im going to call her Ms. T.. She did a perfect job.. I still cant believe I got my septum done.. It is by far the easiest piercing especially by Ms. T..Thank you very much.. Have a good day.I just want to add that I am on day two after getting my septum done and being very much mindful not to hurt myself at allllllll...I understand every body is different.. I still have no swelling.. Others have posted videos say the 1st three days is the worst so I guess Ill wait for the the 3rd day.Truth be told, I am a nose picker and I am still able to do that..
Recommend 10/10!Staff is super friendly, and loved to joke around. It was a great environment. We showed up right before closing and they stayed late to give us some tatts. Zach was AWESOME. He was very professional. Without a doubt the most comfortable and pain free tattoo I’ve received. Not to mention it looked amazing when he was done.
Such an awesome atmosphere. I feel relaxed and at home when Im there.
Zach was awesome! Super personable, and extremely talented. He gave great guidance on placement and helping me create my vision. I also got my nose pierced there for super cheap and they did a great job. Will definitely be back!
Great first time experience with this shop, we just moved to Texas and were looking for the best of the best. And these guys are it! My first piece was done by Zach and he was very professional and did an amazing job! I’m going back for more artwork in a couple months. Look forward to it.Also I’m an anxious person and the environment really is laid back and helps calm your nerves.Recommend!!!
I love this shop! I get all of my piercings done here and they have been amazing. I decided to get my tattoo done by Matthew and he did not disappoint. It was exactly what I asked for and then some! I would most definitely recommend them to anyone.
Got my nose pierced here and it was amazing. I have a huge fear of needles but the piercer was so sweet and coached me through the entire thing. Theyre amazingly affordable and super clean! Will definitely be using them from now on.
Came on a Thursday for an upper lobe piercing and was pleasantly surprised by their $30 Thursdays deal. The shop was really clean, and Tearanie was so lovely throughout the whole process. I was also in and out within 10 minutes, which was a huge plus.
I got a tattoo there and it looks great 👍 vary impressed
This was one of the best experinces Ive ever had getting a tattoo. Jordan did my tattoo and I am so happy with it. He was also super friendly. And made my experience a lot of fun!
Very clean. Very professional staff. They use new needles and have medical disposal. If getting a tattoo, go through the books and see the style of the different artists. Each has a different style. Realism seems to be the most difficult. Ask whoever you meet first at the desk about their art. Pay to have it drawn up on paper first. Take it home and think about it. Suggest modifications to make sure you have a shared vision of what the art will look like (including colors - vibrant vs. muted). The artists will refer you to others if they think someone will do a better job, so ask, and get what you want. You will be glad to have waited and taken the extra steps. Tattoos are FOREVER. Once you are ready and have followed the above, you cannot go wrong at Gold Dust Tattoos.
First time getting ears pierced and my experience was awesome! I was made to feel so welcome and treated wonderfully. My sister got a piercing too and she loved her experience as well. We love this place and the staff is so friendly and professional. Shop is super clean, comfortable and relaxing. Prices are super reasonable. I can promise you will be totally satisfied coming here! Highly recommended!
Ive gotten two tattoos from Zach at Gold Dust, and both have been wonderful experiences. The shop is clean and comfortable, and the artists clearly care about their work, customers, and each other. Prices are reasonable and outlined well up-front. I cannot recommend this shop enough.
Had my very first tattoo done here by Joe Campos and it was an excellent experience. Joe was really kind and friendly. He was responsive in replying my emails, patient in answering all my questions and concerns. He made my first tattoo experience very comfortable and enjoyable. Its not hard to tell that he loves doing what he does. The place itself is clean and neat, and all the other tattoo artists are friendly too. Worth checking out if youre in Dallas!
Great staff, great artists, great atmosphere. I had my first tattoo done here; I was nervous but immediately felt at ease. I was warmly welcomed and greeted as soon as I entered. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, I will definitely refer them and go back again!!
Fast awesome piercer...love my nose piercing.
My sister and I are from out of town and we were looking for a positive experience in a tattoo shop. A lot of bad reviews are out there for local shops. I can honestly say Gold dust Tattoos have an awesome staff! The shop is clean and the atmosphere was nice! We were greeted by Tearanie and she was so pleasant! Our tattoo artist Joe was so down to earth, cool, and professional! Our tattoos are awesome! I highly recommend coming to Gold Dust for your tattoos! Thanks again to the Artists!
I got both my tattoos from Gold Dust. Matt McGarth did my most recent one, and he was amazing!! He is a great artist, and he made the whole experience so enjoyable. All the employees are super kind, helpful, and professional. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, you should definitely go to Gold Dust.
Char is my go to for all my ink. Her skill and artistry are amazing. Shes incredibly talented, very professional, and accomplished in different styles of tattooing. Im always thrilled with the results and get lots of compliments on her work.David is my guy for piercing. He did a great job at correcting a botched septum piercing Id gotten at another shop. Hes fun, knowledgeable, and good at calming your nerves.The shop is very clean, well organized, and comfortable. I always have a great experience while there and look forward to my next visit.
Friendly, patient and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience from walk in to finish. I felt valued and understood as a customer even as a first timer.
Very patient and kind people!! The staff was very kind and the store was very clean and neat. The piercer, I forgot her name, walked me through step by step on my piercing and worked with me when I got nervous!!
Ive gotten 3 piercings from the same amazing woman. My lips and my septum were done perfectly. I highly recommend them for anything youd like to get done.
Got two medium sized tattoos done by Isaac, it was about 5 hours of work. Really enjoyed the experience - he listened to what I wanted to get done and took my input into account but still created something with his own style which is exactly how I wanted to get it done. The parlour is very nice and clean and everyone is super friendly. Highly recommended!
Went to get a tattoo from Joe & was impressed by the staff and the owner. Probably one of the best tattoo environments Ive been to in a while & Im looking forward to going for watercolor work. Char worked closely with Joe (newest addition) & now hes done 2 small tattoos on me and one on my mom (behind the ear). She handled it like a champ & Joe was extremely calm. Cant wait to go back & let Joe do more work on me. 100% recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
Char is in a world of her own when it comes to being an artist...simply amazing! Ive had 3 gorgeous works or art done by her and each time it exceeds my expectations. Her eye and design is something shes truly gifted with...go to her shop!! ...and her shop is awesome too - old school rustic and very welcoming. Thanks Char and Gold Dust!! (Ill be back) :)
Ive been looking to get some work done soon and I just moved to Dallas. I cant give a review of their work- but I can say that me being a naive tattooless guy I am hesitant on who I can trust. I had the privilege of waiting tables on their staff and they were very kind and genuine. Im happy to say this is a place and a staff I feel excited about coming to and getting honest feedback and pricing on my tattoo.
Gold Dust is a very professional, clean, and friendly place. They make sure you are comfortable and relaxed the whole time. There is a variety of art styles working there to choose from. They go into detail with the after care process. I highly recommend Gold Dust especially for your first tattoo because it is a great experience to base any future tattoos on.
Absolutely love this shop. Ive gotten 4 tattoos here, all of them are great! Zach and Matt are awesome! Also had multiple piercings done and Tierany (I hope I spelled that right) is an absolutely amazing piercer. Everyone is friendly and fun to be around, which is a huge plus when youre there multiple hours at a time.
Got my septum pierced today, and tearanie is amazing! Honestly the rest of the reviews speak for themselves! Great atmosphere, super clean, all around good vibes.
Tearanie is the best!!!! She was so sweet and helped calm me down before getting my nose pierced!!! The shop was very clean and everyone was so friendly!! I would recommend anyone who wants a piercing done to go see her!!!
Went to check out and get some pricing and was very impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of the place. Zach Mathews talked with me about what I wanted and, lucky for me, had a cancellation and was available. He did a 3D butterfly on my right shoulder that is absolutely beautiful! I will definitely be back when I am ready for my next tat!!
Moses did an amazing job and was kind and so considerate throughout the entire process. He wanted to make sure i loved it and was completely open to whatever I wanted to change. His skills are phenomenal but its just a added bonus that hes just an awesome person to spend 6 hours with. I love my first tattoo and Im so glad I drove from Austin to get it done here.
Brandon Stringer has been working on my back for months, he has put his heart, soul, and mind into creating this dreamland of oceans and sunsets with an incredible rainbow and blue birds, not to mention the arrangement of assorted flowers up the back of my neck♡ I wouldnt recommend another shop on Greenville Ave. to do a better job! Another note, the entire staff are the most friendly bunch of artists I have encountered in a single shop! Couldnt be happier with this location!
Went in yesterday to get my bridge pierced and I was amazed by how professional my experience was, she took the time to explain what she was doing and made me very comfortable. The room was very clean and nicely decorated and all of the staff was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back in the future!!
Welcoming staff, clean, and overall a great place! I would hang out here just for fun if theyd let me haha I got my first tattoo from Joe and the experience was amazing, perfect work. Glad I took the chance to go see him, hes got my trust! Definitely coming to Joe and the team for anything I ever need. Im a satisfied customer for life.
Char and her formidable team of expertly skilled, trained artists run an amazing operation at Gold Dust Tattoos. The shop boasts a wide variety of art styles in their portfolios, so youre sure to discover something to make that tattoo youve always wanted come true. Speaking from a first-time experience with these guys, Roque Mendez worked tirelessly to make an elaborate, large sunflower mandala hip tattoo covering a gnarly scar take on a life of its own. Excellent place, people, work they do. Check em out.
Stopped in tonight to get my first tattoo at 53 years young. David was my artist and I couldnt have been more pleased with the experience. He was very professional but kept everything light and fun. My wife was so pleased with the results that she is planning on going in for her first tattoo soon and David will definitely be doing the work. The price was reasonable and outcome outstanding. Thank you Gold Dust Tattoos!!
Babs was so helpful and kind! Matt is just freaking amazing! So creative and such a skilled artist! Tearranie was very supportive and skillful when she pierced my ears. And no gun! Shes a professional!
Got my first tattoo done here by Roque Mendez. It was incredible work, great environment would highly recommend him and gold dust. I will definitely go back. I could not be happier with my tattoo and my experience
I got my first tattoo from Char today and I couldnt be happier. She did and amazing job and even though it was a small tattoo, she did not rush it. You can see her great passion for what she does. Her shop is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend her. You can rest assured she will do my next piece.
Amazing service!!!Super clean installations. My tattoo artist was Joe, extremely light hands, I barely felt anything. Got my appointment very quickly. Definitely coming back . I recommend this place 100% .
Got a bad ass Bear from Roque (pronounced rocky). the place is very clean, fun atmosphere, movies playing to help pass the time (my tattoo was about 10hrs total). They get booked up quick so if you have bigger ideas dont expect to walk in and get it in the same day.
This was a wow experience for me. The shop is clean... Like super clean. Very cool and calm atmosphere during my visit. I enjoyed the experience and my tattoo looks awesome!
