If your looking to get a tattoo and want it done professionally. Please go see Luis Soto. He does excellent work and very reasonable on pricing.
Dorian is the best piercer in town!! Ive had several piercings here and theyre always amazing. Two tattoos as well and they have top notch artists. Id recommend to anyone wanting a tattoo or piercing!
I went in for a walk in nose piercing and they were great! They had us take a number and wait in our car until the number was called, and checked my temperature before I could go back. Everything was quick and professional and Im definitely going to go back!
Nice place and friendly but super slow service! Expect a 3 hour wait for any piercing with only 3 people waiting to get a piercing ahead of us. smh👎
Love the piercer here. I called yesterday with lots of questions and she was very knowledgeable and had an answer for everything I asked. Went in for a helix piercing tonight with some friends and it was quick and easy. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that asked.
I loved it. My husband and I went. It was my first tattoo. Mac was sooo nice and friendly. She helped relax me and was very sweet. We love her and plan on doing all future tattoos here with her. Love this place so much!
I love Aces and get all of my piercings from Lars, they are very clean and are understanding to all new clients. Lars always makes me more comfortable while getting new piercings or changing jewelry. Cant recommend Aces enough!
Piercer was incredibly sweet and professional!! I absolutely loved her! Got my tongue pierced here two days ago, and I was very well taken care of- I highly recommend them to anyone in the Denton area!!! The prices are amazing too!!
I got snakebites from dorian, they were awesome!! so nice and calm, i love the way they turned out! also one of the only shops i know of that still takes covid procedures seriously. overall great!!!
Just had my eye brow pierced and nose too and she was super nice !
Dorian has 14 years piercing experience so she was the natural choice when I needed an old antitragus piercing redone. She knows her ish and did a great job.
Dorian is my piercer. If anyone asks about my piercings, she is the answer. Ive had my nostril (2x) and septum done and each experience was very professional and Im very highly satisfied with every interaction! Plus, she gives a little candy in your care package. Im sure its for nerves/blood sugar, but its a sweet touch, no matter what. I had 2 other piercers in previous years and they didnt do that.Tattoos at Aces? Maybe one day!
My daughter and I went for piercings. Had a great experience. The piercer, Larissa, was so kind, very knowledgeable, and great to work with. I very much appreciated the commitment to health and safety practices - especially being covid safe - of the entire establishment. Well definitely be back.
Literally the piercer with the blonde hair and tattoos is so kind and genuine. I was holding off getting my screw piercings taken out due to being embarrassed and anxious but she made my visit so easy. I wish I knew her name Bc if I get anymore piercings I want her to do them! SO KIND THANK YOU
It was a wonderful experience. Brandon is a great artist, the staff was professional and welcoming while not being sticks in the mud, and facilities were well kept. Id definitely go back.
Lars pierced my cartilage a few weeks ago and my friend’s Travis and second hole, and we were very pleased with the experience! Aces has phenomenal covid precautions in place, but that also meant my friend and I couldn’t act as moral support for each other and instead went in one at a time. Lars made us feel comfortable and at ease. She answered questions, helped me find the best placement on my ear, and talked me through the entire process. Super fast and far less painful than I was anticipating! Will definitely Italy be returning.
Lars is an excellent piercer. I just got my nose pierced here, and I will never go anywhere else for piercings as long as I’m in the DFW area. I’ve gotten three piercings here in the past 15 years or so (all in the same place on my nose - I took out the first one before it healed, and I just let it close over time the second time), and every experience has been awesome. They make you feel comfortable and also make good recommendations for styling. Plus they are very reasonably priced. I recommend them to everyone.
I’ve been going here for the past year now. I will only let Larissa do any of my piercings! She’s so professional and very helpful!!!
Just got a double nose piercing today from Larissa and she did an amazing job! The process went really quick and she made me feel very comfortable during the procedure! Would recommend her and the shop to everyone! Shop was very clean and open and did a great job with Covid safety measures
Very clean/sterile, everyone is nice, and good covid practices. Went in for two nostril piercings and Dorian did a great job. Good jewelry selection and reasonable prices!
Great place, clean environment. Wish the tattoo artist was more talkative but they got me in and out and helped me celebrate my best friend. Hard to lose someone that took their own life.
Got a tattoo here about 3 years ago, and the staff was fantastic! More recently I got 3 piercings done and once again had an excellent experience! The store was clean and the staff were friendly and professional. Would recommend to anyone looking for tattoos or piercings!
Dorian was so kind and calming for my septum piercing, its healing so well and looks fantastic. Shop is clean and very professional, Ill be going back for my other piercings soon. 10/10
Got a nose piercing here and felt VERY comfortable. Everyone wore masks and I was even able to keep one on while it was being done. It was EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN friendly and professional. Literally no wait. All the info you need along with a little ziplock bag of treats and instructions. DEFINITELY going back for a tattoo asap!
I’ve gone to Dorian for helix, lobe, and nose piercings and she’s been quick, amazing, professional, and extra careful about being sterile every time. She’s also super sweet and knowledgeable. I’ve also gotten a tattoo here and it was very quick and painless!! HIGHLY recommend. Also they have the best jewelry and service fees in the area :)
I came here for a nipple piercing and Dorian was awesome.
Came in for a silver nose stud jewelry & the quality was very cheap no shine to the jewel stud. I even pointed out the exact stud I wanted and thought that’s what she gave me in the “sterile” package. When I opened package it was the wrong size gauge and stud. Uneasy if it was a new stud or even sterile for that matter. Went back in to ask for smaller gage and she told me I’d have to buy a whole new one. Bad customer service and the girl didn’t even know what gage sizes they had. She also told me I could wait around and get the girl who does the piercing to put it in my nose for me. “No thank you, I don’t want to make my hole in my nose any bigger!” Definitely won’t be going back!!
Alex soto is a great artist. Love his work. Returning customer status ✌
Alex is awesome! Great traditional work. I tell him an idea if what i want and he does a beautiful job!
This is hands down the only business that is taking the pandemic seriously. They were organized, detail oriented, and take the measures ALL businesses should do in these times. Denton needs to take notes from this place, because they are doing it right. I want to thank Dorian of all the information, helping me choose my nose rings, and being such a great time to talk to while getting my nose pierced. I already recommended this shop to some friends and I will come back again if I want another piercing or tattoo. Thank you so much for the amazing experience and taking the precautions needed to be safe. 10/10 would recommend again.
Clean, professional and Lars was especially awesome! 🌻
BEST place in Denton for getting piercings! The Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable
My wife got a nostril piercing here recently and it looks great. They were quick, and the place was very clean and organized. Piercing was painless according to her, and piercer Lars was very gentle and informative on the process and care of the new piercing. Overall my wife had a very good experience and would definitely recommend!
Horrible experience. My boyfriend, who has serious anxiety as well as autism went in to get pierced. He was snapped at for his leg shaking then snapped at again for nodding in response to what the piercer was saying. He literally got snapped at for nodding to let the piercer know he was listening. Then she said he didn’t have the anatomy for the piercing he wanted, even though she was feeling in the wrong place. We went to dark age, a better studio, and they laughed when we said another piercer said he didn’t have the anatomy. Another friend went int he get pierced as well and she was treated in the same way. The piercer was rude and snappy.
Great artist and very professional.
Had a piece of jewelry switched for a plastic plug tonight. Walked in, Dorian was available and made the switch quickly and painlessly.Masks required,, sanitized tray provided for my phone and purse. Social distancing enforced..Will return after my surgery to have it switched back.
Always get my piercings at Aces! Love the staff and facility is always clean! Recommend Larissa and Dorian Téllez, she did an amazing job when my nose stud came loose almost she re-pierced it! And got my navel pierced as well.
Lars pierced my nose a couple weeks back, healing perfectly, minimal pain & no redness! She is amazing & super sweet. 10/10 recommend Aces for any piercings you need. Got my tragus & belly button done here as well, healed perfectly.
Lars was awesome and very attentive. She took very good care of me. I will definitely be back.
The people here are SO nice & do a fantastic job!
I had my first piercings (5 to be exact) since I had my lobes done at the age of 5... It was a lot, I know. However, Larissa not only did a great job with my piercings, but at ensuring that I was okay & comfortable the ENTIRE time. She was knowledgeable, patient, informative, and SO sweet. I felt safe and reassured through each piercing. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a piercing of any kind!
I got my septum pierced by Lars and I had a great experience! Conditions were extremely sanitary and the shop took every precaution to keep everyone safe. All the staff was super friendly and professional. I look forward to getting my next piercing done here!
(TLDR; Piercer was rude/snappy and unprofessional. Only good thing was the shop and her station was very clean.)I went in to get my septum pierced and at the beginning of the process (the paperwork) everything seemed to be going fine and professional but when it came time to get the piercing the attitude changed. I believe the piercer that did my septum was Dorian. Since I have anxiety I was a bit nervous (not being able to have anyone with me due to COVID restrictions) and she seemed annoyed that I was a bit fidgety. She was talking to me WAY before she was even ready to do the piercing and she got snappy about me nodding in response to her talking to me and acknowledging what she was saying to me. Then moving forward to the actual piercing experience. She didn’t even tell me when she was doing it and just went for it so it obviously surprised me. Then due to the pressure I coughed a little bit and then had to sneeze (obviously I turned my head the opposite direction even tho I still had my mask on so I wasn’t sneezing directly in her face). She seemed to get annoyed with that as well when another coworker in the shop was polite and said “bless you” from across the room and said it’s a completely normal reaction when your septum is pierced. She didn’t really go over aftercare much but I mean I already have a bunch of other piercings. My boyfriend had also went in right before me and had a bad experience as well. He has anxiety and is autistic and she was snappy at him for his leg shaking. She then told him he didn’t have the right anatomy for a bridge piercing even tho she was feeling in the wrong place and was too high up on his brigde. We did go to another studio in town and the piercer there laughed when he told her what the other piercer had told him and she said he had pretty much perfect anatomy for the piercing after feeling and checking. So all in all I would say Dorian should probably consider working on her customer service skills. Not everyone is neurotypical and some people that choose to get body modifications have anxiety or autism so you should be aware of that and not get snappy or rude with customers for behaviors that you don’t have to deal with while working on neurotypical people.
I’ve never been anywhere else but ACEs. They are always so clean and easy to work with. Larissa (Lars) did 3 piercings on me and made me feel completely comfortable the whole time. Even though I have multiple piercings, I still get a little anxious every time. She was so patient and easy going. She took her time to make sure they were all exactly how I wanted. I will definitely be back to see her again. I definitely recommend her and her location.
Larissa/Lars is super sweet and professional. I was having trouble with a healing nose piercing, and they were happy to help me swap my jewelry out and give me advice on what could be causing my problems! Will definitely be coming back for future piercings.
Ive been pierced here twice & each time they were AMAZING! I had Larissa/Lars tonight and she was so sweet and made the whole thing so much fun. Thanks for helping me kick off my birthday!
Ive been going here since I was 18 and is always the 1# shop of my recommendation. Clean and professional and reasonable prices.
They are taking COVID-19 protocols and cleanliness very seriously which is awesome. I got my septum pierced by Lars today and she was amazing: very kind, quick, and professional! I will definitely be returning for future piercings.
Everything went smoothly even with all the COVID-19 restrictions. I was nervous to get my piercing but Dorian was very thoughtful and caring throughout the whole process. Would definitely come back. Thanks, Dorian. ❤️
By far the best piercing place in the denton area, went there for 8 piercings so far and every visit has been top notch!
Ive been going to Aces for all of my piercings/recent tattoos and I have never had a bad experience! I get tattooed by Brandon and have never been disappointed. My first tattoo from him was in a rather intimate place and the amount of professionalism shown by him made me never want to go to a different artist, aside from the fact I love his work. As for the piercings, Ive never had an issue with any of the ladies (I usually get Lars or Adrian). Love this place so much, moving down to Houston soon and Im STILL going to be coming up just for them.
Lars did my rook and it turned out awesome. Super friendly and knowledgeable 10/10 best piercer lmao
Ive been going to Aces off-and-on for 15 years. They are great and I have never had a bad experience there. Ive most recently been getting tattooed by Tristan and his work has been really great! Theyre prices are really good considering the high quality work and reputation they have.
I absolutely love going here to get my piercings. I’ve been pierced by Dorian and Larissa and both are amazing and I honestly haven’t thought about going anywhere else. Shop is always clean and service is always TOP NOTCH. 10/10 would ALWAYS recommend.
Very knowledgeable! Good prices! Will be back!
Mac is the absolute best! The shop is also super clean and has great protocol for COVID-19.
Emma was fantastic! My best friend and I impulsively decided to get matching tattoos. Emma started working on our idea as soon as we walked in. We really appreciated that she took the time to advise us on the location of our tattoos and the amount of detail. Both tattoos were GORGEOUS, fast, and very fairly priced! I am excited to see what else Emma can do for me!
My second piercing here and Larissa was so sweet! I got my nose pierced and I love it!
I went to get my septum done by Lars and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Lars was very kind and took her time, and made sure I was comfortable. :) She was very informative about the healing process as well.
Very clean very professional I got a double nostril piercing and it was a wonderful experience would definitely recommend
I loooove Larissa! She is the SWEETEST, so gentle and quick! Super personable and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. Very professional, very neat and organized. She has done several to almost all of my most favorite piercings, and she’s very informative on how to care for your new piercing, as well as answers any questions or concerns you have later on! 10/10 would recommend Larissa, always.
If you arent getting tattoos from Brandon Kemp at Aces then you are making a huge mistake. Amazing, talented artist and a real authentic hombre. The shop is always clean. All my tattoos and piercings are done at this shop - I cant recommend them enough. There are a lot of shops around the area but Aces is by far the best.
I got my belly button pierced here and everyone was super nice and clean! Have been wanting a belly piercing for a while and this is definitely the place you should go to to get one(: thank you!
Quick, clean, personable. Great staff, knowledgeable and always make an effort. Could use a better selection of jewelry.
GO TO DORIAN FOR YOUR PIERCINGS. I’m sure the others are fantastic too, but Dorian is super knowledgeable and does an amazing job. She takes the time to do it right and runs everything by the customer.
After searching around all day for a reputable shop to get my bridge pierced, i wish i had stopped in here first. most of the other denton tattoo shops i visited - and i am saying this as a tattoo artist myself - were sketch as hell or treated their customers like garbage.their covid safety measurements are a lot more pre-cautious than most places i have seen lately, which i appreciate. i did wait an hour in my car before my number was called, so i do think that the line system could use some improvement, such as texting or calling when our number is up. but it was still totally worth the wait.i got my bridge pierced by larissa, and i couldnt be happier with how it turned out. unlike other piercers i consulted, she knew what she was doing and sounded very experienced, which made me feel much more comfortable and that i was in good hands. it was quick and less painful than i had heard. will definitely be making this my go-to shop in denton!
I love this shop, especially because you can tell that it’s very, very clean. I’ve gotten every one of my tattoos done there & I plan to keep going. I personally get my work done from Andrew, but all the artists there have amazing work; I would recommend any one of them! I also got my belly button pierced there & the piercer was calm, knowledgeable, soft spoken, so nice & made me very comfortable. 5 stars all around! :-)
My partner & I drove 40 minutes to get pierced at Aces, instead of any of the dozen places in our area, because it came highly recommended. I have several piercings, and Ive been to all kinds of shops & worked with all kinds of piercers. Id make the trip to Aces again for my next piercing, no questions asked.It was my partners first piercing, and he had such a great experience with Lars, that hes already thinking about what he wants to get next.Another piercer helped me (I feel really bad for not getting her name), and she was able to do an industrial for me, despite the fact that I had been turned away by several other piercers, who said it couldnt be done because of the shape of my ears.She is *extremely* good at what she does, and communicated with me every step of the process to make sure I would love my piercing. I was nervous, because it was my first cartilage piercing, and she did a great job of walking me through the process & calming my nerves.Its been about a month, and my piercing is healing relatively well, despite taking quite a few bumps (Im extremely clumsy, lol). I was experiencing some irritation, though, so I messaged Lars and sent a couple pictures to get her opinion. She was quickly able to see that I needed a longer bar, and asked me to come back in for a follow up.I saw Dorian yesterday, and she took great care of me. Made the process as pain-free as possible, even with the piercing being irritated, and changed the jewelry so smoothly that I hardly even noticed it happening. Its already MUCH less red and painful.Hell, they even gave me a jump when my car died in the parking lot.The short version: great people who do great work, and care about their clients. Couldnt have asked for a better experience!
I started coming here to get tattooed over a year ago, and won’t go anywhere else. The staff is very kind and professional, and the tattoos and piercing they do are some of the best in Texas. I get my tattoos done by Brandon Kemp, he is light handed and his tattoos heal faster than any others I’ve gotten previously. They age very well and hold color throughout the years. He’s a great guy, and he’s the man you want to go to if it’s your first tattoo or your hundredth. He’s been very open to many different traditional designs and is a great artist overall 10/10.
Lars/Larissa pierced the tip of my tongue and Im in love. She was nice and professional. She was quick and it was pretty painless. Ive went to Aces for my last few piercings and havent been disappointed.
I have never left a review in my life but I had to after my experience with Dorian. I was very nervous about getting a piercing and she was the sweetest person ever. Made me feel so comfortable and she was super professional and informative. Will definitely be back to visit her again!!
Originally came for eyebrow / tongue piercing years ago. Having since removed the piercings, I came back... 3 years later.My eyebrow hadnt closed, and she was able to open it back up quick, saving money and time!Then I got my first tattoo. Great artist! Took the time to get it just right! Exactly what I wanted.Will be back for more [:
The best place in town to get *any* piercing. I never had an issue & the piercings look great! They’ve got a good range of options. Very professional as well. Some of my piercings barely hurt & didn’t even bleed. I’ve been to a couple of other places in town & this is by far the best & most affordable.I recommend going between 12-2pm to avoid the evening crowd.
I recently got my nose pierced by Larissa, I was very nervous and scared it would be so LONG and painful, but it was the exact opposite!! She helped me with any questions I had, walked me through it and overall did an amazing job!! it was over before I knew it happened! she will definitely be my go to for piercings in the future!
Tristan got an amazing piece done in less then 2 hours it’s high quality and was absolutely worth every penny with great service will definitely be going there again
The oral piercing care instructions state to use an antiseptic mouthwash (containing alcohol), but all the info Ive found on the internet recommend against it and to use alcohol free mouthwash. The antiseptic mouthwash kills all bacteria, good and bad. You need your good bacteria to help prevent thrush.
Friendly staff, clean location, saftey measures highly followed.
Went here and they were so rude to my friend and I. They acted like they wanted absolutely nothing to do with us. Clearly they did not want our business or to help us out in any way. We ended up going down the street to a great place where the people were actually nice to us. Will never go here again.
The artists can pull out some great work, but most are pretty rude and will definitely turn you away if they dont like what you want. Was told once that the tattoo I wanted was too girly. Great piercers though!
Y’all whole process was great and all, but you definitely screwed my bars WAY too tight. Three months after getting my earlobes pierced my ears started to bleed after trying to take them out. Now, 5+ months after, I barely got one out after 20+ minutes with rubber gloves....
Aces always takes good care of me. Ive gotten several piercings done there and all of them have healed wonderfully and if I have any problems they are more than happy to help me. For example, after getting my forward helix pierced, it began swelling to the point that the bar they put in was too short. I went back to them and they put in a longer post for free.
Her piercing was amazing and so detailed. She made sure to check with us and was so quick we were out within 30 minutes. And for only 40 dollars for a nose ring!!!!!
Got two piercings here, very talented piercers on staff. Explain healing process and after care in detail and they have a nice selection of jewelry to choose from.
Emma is a such a great artist. She listened to my rambling ideas for a half sleeve and was able to cohesively create a beautiful tattoo. I cant wait to go back and get more.
The staff are always super professional and reasonably priced.
I have fairly severe Anxiety issues & have waited for years (literally) deciding exactly what two pieces of text i wanted on my inner wrists. After finally deciding, a friend recommended that I go to Ace’s, so I’ve been researching the place & artists for about a year now. Well, Tristan gave me EXACTLY what I wanted & in my own handwriting, which makes it VERY personal to me. He did an absolutely BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!!!! I’m also VERY shy, but he & the ladies I dealt with there were SO friendly & kind that it immediately calmed my nerves & is a place I felt welcome!!!!! I will Definitely be getting my left wrist done (to match my right one) fairly soon & Tristan at Ace’s is Absolutely where I’ll be going!!!!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Got my first piercing here, they were very nice, clean, and informative. They even gave us little goody bags with candy and instructions about taking care of our piercings in them! Expensive, but worth it for the even piercings and properly sterilized equipment. Thanks Dora for really making sure my first piercings were even, I love them!
Been here multiple times for family, always great people and great talent.
A couple of years ago I dropped by to have Dorian do my tragus piercings, and Im glad to say that the quality of this place has not gone down! I came in last night to do a nose piercing, and Lars is the best! Not only is she patient and knowledgeable, shes also really gentle and my nose piercing didnt hurt much. They also dont over-charge for every little thing like a lot of places in the DFW metroplex. This place just has good vibes. I love the women here that do piercings. Lars and Dorian are my go-tos from now on. Thanks guys!
Had my septum done here and, being pierced at three other places in the past, this was by far the best experience ive had. It was calm, quiet, clean, and Adria was really kind with me. I was also surprised to not be overcharged for my piercing. Very good service and Adria is skilled, calm, and very nice.
Worst experience at a tattoo/piercing place. My sister wanted a simple tattoo coverup (literally a 5 min tattoo) and also one double piercing. They straight up said they had no one to do the tattoo (it was 6:30pm on a Saturday night). They didn’t tell us until we waiting one hour that the one piercing was $60. After we said no to the piercing, they got mad and told us to pay $10 for a service fee. We straight up said no and went to Infinity 13 a few miles away. They are cheaper and much nicer.
Wonderful and very professional experience. The piercer is amazing.
Only place I’ll go for ink work. Super chill people and hard workers. Hit up Brandon kemp light hand and awesome freaking work!
