Patrick was awesome to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable. The quality of the work is great! Will be back again.

Friday the 13th flash event. Bit of a line but steady movement and totally top notch service. These guys had been at it since 12am! Excellent experience. Gonna schedule a consult for my arm piece. I was in good hands with Dave.

I was coming from out of town as I was visiting family and friends in the area and wanted a tattoo to make my moment memorial as I have been through a lot in the past year. As my friend and I walked in we weren’t greeted with the friendliest of greetings with the guy at the front desk. We however were greeted very nicely by the tattoo artist who received our inquiry from management days in advanced. As I was preparing to receive my tattoo, I noticed there was candy I could grab to take off the edge of the sleeve I was about to receive after four years of no tattoos. I was nervous and proceeded to ask asked for a piece of candy and he said no, I said, “I was willing to pay just needed something to calm me”, the answer was still no. As we moved to the tattoo area, my friend accidentally knocked a framed picture down, which didn’t break at all and fell a foot, and he said “Watch what you’re doing this ain’t you’re living room, this is a business !!” We apologized and it explained to him we were nervous as we are getting huge matching tattoos. The tattooer was great and was able to turn around our experience but i don’t think I’ll ever go back there again.”

Sasha was the most personal and professional Artist that We’ve ever used before. She did my son’s first tattoo and was very descriptive and what to expect. Her work was incredible and she is a master at her craft.My son couldn’t be more pleased and she will be doing a coverup and another addition for me as well as a new piece. That was decided without hesitation.Well done Sasha!!!!

Wanted my double piercing. It was done really well. Healed faster than any other ear piercing Iv had. Wasn’t red or sore after. People are really nice. Highly recommend

I came on my 18th birthday to get my left nostril pierced and Steve was very helpful!! My right nostril piercing that I already had was pierced wrong and I wasnt aware. Steve informed me and we came to a solution with the issue. Steve pierced my left nostril and it did not hurt at all! Just a bit discomfort but I didnt even bleed! I am so happy with my piercing :D ! if you plan on getting a piercing here, definitely get booked with Steve!

Cant recommend this place more. Josh is my absolute ideal artist. My husband and I have both gotten pieces done here and they are nothing but extraordinary. Professional, yet laid back. They make your tattoo experience great.

Reasonable $$, customer service oriented. I will go back.

Jeremiah was the absolute best! Will never go to anyone else for piercings! I was checked in fast and was seen immediately! Super clean and sanitized!!! 100% recommend!!!

Excellent experience both the employee there were extremely nice.

Jeremiah is the best piercer Ive ever met! He did about 14 of my piercings years ago and they all turned out perfect. Even though my job doesnt allow me to get as many piercings anymore, I still send everyone his way. Hes so nice, very knowledgeable and patient and gives you thorough care instructions. I recently had a piercing severely rip and spent $235 to go to the doctor - they couldnt get the barbell out and put in a stitch that fell out the day after. It wasnt healing so I reached out to Jeremiah and he had me come in, at no charge, and took the barbell out for me. If you want new piercings or help with current piercings - go to Jeremiah!!

I’ve been going to David Nash for tattoos for several years and he just recently relocated to this shop. Great work, great chats and good vibes all around.Thanks David!

I had a cheap screw-on earring stuck in my ear because the screw part had stripped over time. I just went here because I was eating nearby and decided to get my earring situation taken care of, but I was so impressed with their customer service! I was greeted warmly when I walked in and I was helped right away. One of the employees helped me get my earring out quickly and efficiently. Thank you!!

Awhile back I got my daiths pierced here are they did a wonderful job. Awhile later I got the jewelry switched out at a different studio (big mistake), the jewelry fell out and the other studio wouldnt fix it. So I called Hold Fast and they got me in ASAP and got the jewelry replaced. I will never go to another studio again. These people are always so nice and professional!

I wanted a FINE delicate line tattoo of a butterfly, but the artist did it thicker than I wanted. Be firm about what you want when you go here. Otherwise they were really nice people. A little pricey for something simple though.

I got my tongue pierced by Jeremy 3 years ago I was nervous but he was very helpful in calming me and not to mention very professional and knowledgeable he didn’t just sit there he actually talked and made me feel comfortable the whole while,,, I will be going back once I lose my baby fat to get my nipples pierced hopefully he is still there,,, b/c I don’t want to go anywhere else to get them done

Just got a couple of anti-tragus piercings here - wonderful experience. Ask for Jeremiah!

Jason very cool, really liked his technique and eye. Very nice cant wait to show it off. 🥀🥀Thanks Jason F.

Great service and they made it a great experience once again for first time tattoos

Justin did a fantastic job on my piercing! He was super thorough in explaining the whole process, and he marked me and made sure I liked the placing before he did the piercing. He also gave me great cleaning instructions and provided sea salt. He had a wide range of jewelry options as well. Super clean shop, friendly staff! 10/10 would recommend.

Tattooed by my regular artist here..small shop but nice

I’ve had many tattoos done by David, a couple piercings by Ursula and have had jewelry changed by Jeremy. These guys are the absolute best and I am always confident when I walk in that I’ll leave with something even better than I could’ve imagined. I’m loyal to HIH!

Ive gotten a nose piercing while in Miami last month and I hated it. So I decided to let the piercing close and get it re-pierced by Ursula, and she did a great job. It was the complete opposite of my Miami experience. She was kind, the piercing was quick and painless, and she gave me aftercare instructions. I would definitely recommend her for piercings.

Dude did a venom piercing ( horizontal tongue) awesome job! Painless and perfect. Im glad I chose to go to hold fast! Id recommend him to anyone very professional and all around rad guy.

I love the enviroment here it was clean and even smelled nice. Lucy their piercer was able to get me in right away. The piercing went smooth and only hurt for a second. Lucy did a great job with placement and jewerly selection. Will definitely be back for more piercing

After doing research for a few weeks about the where to find the best piercer in Dallas, I went in to see Matt for a body piercing. He was so professional and answered all of my endless questions very knowledgeably. He really made sure to listen to me and keep me calm throughout the whole process. The piercing was virtually painless and he made the experience really pleasant. A little over a week later, Im healing nicely with no complications and I love my new metal! I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who is a body piercing newbie like I was. He will take care of you and make sure you get the exact results you want. Thanks Matt!

First I would like to say something to American Traveler its a tattoo shop you can leave your feelings out the door when you walk in most tattoo shops. Hold Fast is by far the best tattoo shop Ive been too and Chris is one heck of an artist and didnt charge me a lot with my 24hr back piece. All the guys here are really funny and easy going. If you want a really great tattoo that will hold its color come here.

All the guys at Hold Fast are awesome and talented. Matt pierced my nose last year and it was almost completely painless! He is extremely knowledgeable and enjoys doing beautiful piercings. Jeremy has been piercing for years and years- knows everything there is to know. Youre in great hands with either of these guys. Andrew is an awesome tattooer and very artistic. Hes done two tattoos on my thigh. Jc and Chris are also awesome tattooers with their own styles, extremely friendly and easy to talk to about artwork. I would highly recommend anyone at Hold Fast.

While visiting Dallas I decided to get my nose pierced. We went last night 3/15/17 and Matt was awesome. He made it quick and painless. He was also very friendly, so I will definitely be back to let him do me a few tattoos when Im in the area. Great job Matt, I love it!!

Ive had a great experience. I got my nose pierced by Matt and he gave me information about keeping my piercing clean and if I needed to change my ring just come back. Establishment was nice and clean. IMPRESSED!!!

Came down to Dallas for the weekend and wanted to get a nostril piercing with a hoop. Worst experience ever. Explained that I wanted a hoop, and was instantly told how much of a stupid idea I would be making, and that I needed to go with a stud due to healing/piercing bump issues. No problem. Though I respected his opinion, I still wanted to go with a hoop. Things just went down hill from there. I have quite a few tattoos but have never gotten any kind of piercing other than my ears. When met with the questions for placement and size, I simply asked what he thought would be best, since he is the expert after all. Responded with nothing but sarcasm and attitude. The whole process made me extremely uncomfortable. It wasnt until I mentioned leaving to go elsewhere that he SLIGHTLY changed his tune. A captive bead ring was put in and I was on my way. Did not get an option for a higher quality of jewelry or anything of the sort. Bead ended up falling off after my second night with it in. Went to a shop back home to have it placed back on. Not only did I receive excellent customer service there, but also had them change my ring out. Apparently flimsy captive bead rings put in by rude peircers arent the best choice for your nose piercing. Go figure! Im sure this place does beautiful tattoo work, but would never recommend anyone for a piercing.

Great people and atmosphere, 10/10 would recommend to everyone

Jeremiah is an awesome piercer! He did snake bites and 2 tragus piercings for me. Highly recommended! Love this place❤

Ursula did an amazing job as always! All 4 piercings have been done by her with the most recent being the double helix! Love it!!

We came here for my friend to get her septum and medusa piercing. Jeremy did an amazing job and was very friendly. Prices are really good as well. The staff here were very helpful when we called for information before we came.

Dan did an amazing job on my tattoo. He was friendly and engaged in conversation. I was there for 3 hours and my tattoo is not only perfect but its exactly what I asked for. It was definitely somewhere I will go back for more work.

Was told my burger would be med- rare. Recived burger and was told it only came well done. Not cool.

Went in today for a nose piercing by Jeremy and had an awesome experience. The shop was clean and well stocked with a lot of jewelry to choose from. Also the staff was friendly and welcoming. Great place to visit for your piercings.

I never write reviews but my experience here was so amazing that I needed to write one. I got a ear piercing from a different place a while back but they did such a crappy job that it never healed properly. So I decided to come here because I had a friend tell me about a guy name Jeremy that does piercing and let me tell you my experience with him was amazing he gave me proper care instructions took the time to make sure I had the right piercing and wrote down everything I needed to make the process of healing a lot smoother. Definitely recommend this place to others! Ask for Jeremy!!

After doing some quick research about local tattoo shops, I chose Hold Fast to get my second tattoo and it was the best decision I ever made! The guys there were super nice and very knowledgeable. It was super quick and relatively painless (I got one on my right wrist). I will definitely be going back! Thanks so much guys!

I recently got my nose pierced and found this place and had a great experience. This person who pierced me, Matt, guided me through the process, answered any questions that I needed taken care of and was a really nice person. The whole atmosphere of the place is awesome. I recommend this place 100%

I had a pleasant experience here getting my nose pierced. Jeremy was very informative/helpful about everything and made me feel very relaxed. Ill definitely come back for other piercings! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Professional and quick nipple piercing.

Friendly staff that are fast, skilled and professional. Dan does great work at a fair price. Hold Fast will continue to have my business!

Got my cheeks pierced here. Just walked in and was instantly welcomed. Very sanitary, quick, and easy. They even gave me sea salt to clean my piercing and clear instructions. No bullshit, no hassle, great guys.

Ursula did a wonderful job making sure my nose piercing went right & informed me of all aftercare procedures. Never been disappointed here !

My friend and I went there to get our tattoos together. It was her first tattoo, and my second - fourth. Their prices were reasonable starting at a base of $60 and for my 3 black tattoos (6 characters total) in Japanese and Korean it was a total of $100 + tip. They were very friendly and helpful and best of all FAST. I hate needles and he got all 3 of my tattoos on my neck and wrists in less than half an hour, maybe even less. They look fabulous and it was totally worth it! I would definitely recommend this place.

Went in with my sister to each get a piercing and Matt was so great- hes very chill and easy to talk to. We enjoyed talking to him while we were in there and he made sure we knew how to care for our piercings before we left. Definitely recommend him!

Jeremy was awesome with my daughters piercings. They say it didnt even hurt...thats a sign of a good piercer! Will definitely travel back for more!

Matt is the nicest guy ever!!! I got my front helix triple pierced last weekend and I accidentally pulled the middle one out today. I had tried and couldnt get it back in on my own so I went back and Matt fixed in 2 seconds without any questions. Thanks Matt youre the best!!!

I got both earlobes pierced this past week and it was great! The guys name was Matt and he really knew what he was doing. It took less than ten minutes and he even provided me with after care (which included sea salt, antibacterial soap, three free stickers, and instructions.) I can say that i am very pleased with Hold Fast Tattoo!

They were so amazing! I walked in 3 min before closing and they still pierced my nose. It was super quick & completely painless...Everyone was so so friendly and nice...I would definitely go back and I would recommend them to anyone!

I went a couple of days back to remove one of piercings my body was not a fan of. Which by the way did not get there. The staff is really friendly! I unfortunately did not get his name but it was the piercer with the long hair, I know great description, but he is very friendly and professional. He removed my piercing without charge. Once Im over this trauma I will definitely go back to him and get a new piercing! Also their selection of jewelry is pretty cool. He did mention to another girl he spoke to before me that he could order you custom jewelry if you wanted.

PiercingThis is the best hole in the wall tat/piercing place ever! Not to mention their laid back and super friendly! I got my nose re-pierced tonight and he sent me home with a little care kit!! Not to mention he was super hot X3 great place guys!!! Keep up the great work!!

Horrible environment to work in. Extremely unprofessional. Cant say anything bad about the piercer or piercing side, but the tattoo artists there are the absolute worst(Josh and Tiffany). No motivation. No clientele. Constantly drunk or hungover taking naps on the counters, nobody even bothering to look up from their phones. Always going across the street to take shots and leaving me there by myself. Not bothering to take the phone when they go outside to smoke. Super super clicky and negative. Not only this but they will make things up about you and lie to get you fired even though you are nothing but nice and respectful. Ive been in the industry 11 years, go to conventions, guest spot etc. And Ive never NOT wanted to work with a group of people so bad in my entire life. I hope the actual owner sees this and can correct the problem because I dont see this place lasting much longer with staff like that, which is why tattoo artists are leaving there in the first place because they are buddy-buddy with the manager there and nothing is being done about it. Thanks for listening to me rant.

First time in this shop - Elm Street Friday 13 Marathon - enough parking for a walk in at 1 PM - liked the experience - will be back

Super clean, and good artists. Theyre friendly and fast.

First I want to thank everyone one more time at Hold Fast tattoos you guys rock! So me and my wifey went and got out nipples pierced by Matthew and I will say I was so nervous but he made me feel so comfortable that it went away and all I could be was excited I highly recommend you guys to everyone... I will travel from Louisiana to Dallas just for all of my piercing and tattoo needs! You guys explained everything to the tee.... 10☆ rating

I LOVE THIS PLACE! My first time here was when I was 15 and I was getting my belly button pierced. 8 years later, I have 7 piercings and 7 tattoos from here. Andrew, Casey, and Jeremy have all been amazing!

I got my nose pierced in April and hardly felt it. It was super quick and the guy (cant remember his name) made sure it was exactly where I wanted it to be. The piercing closed since I lost the stud but if I ever want to get it repierced Ill definitely get it done here again.

Jeremy is the best! Never had a bad experience here! Quality work, friendly and helpful. Thank you Jeremy!!

You should be able to give zero stars. They will tell you your tattoo is guaranteed for life, it is not. When I returned to have mine fixed, not just touched up but FIXED, they informed me I would have to tip them or try to “sweet talk” one of them into fixing it bc the artist who did it was no longer there. A shop should not claim to guarantee the work COMING OUT OF THAT SHOP if they don’t actually uphold that. They were also very rude when we came in and attempted to be condescending to us. Save your time and money and go somewhere where they respect their customers.

Ive had a lot of ear piercings and Jeremiah is the best piercing person Ive ever encountered.Careful, exact, and no issues with healing. Highly recommend him and highly recommend Hold Fast Tattoos.

Maybe being the proper color, you can get treated with respect and class here. The first time we only dealt with their rude racist attitudes because they were the only place in the area with the particular nose ring we had. I will be filing a complaint because treating people with disabilities in a certain way is rude. I came in with a person with a disability whom can barely see and was given rude treatment after I informed him that she couldnt fill out the paperwork. The first time I bought her, a lady was there and we still incurred some difficulty. Then he actually put her on the spot in front of other customers which was totally unfair and uncalled for. I will file a complaint through the proper government channels to have this place investigated.

Ursula was super nice and helpful!! Got my piercings done and was very knowledgeable for keeping them clean!

Based on my last two visits in the past three days, Id totally rate this place 5 stars without thinking about it! The service was great and everyone was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is very laid back. I plan to visit this shop again soon.

Wes is awesome! I came in with an idea and he made it better than I could of imagined! I love my tattoo and I will definitely be back.

Definitely recommend Matt! He has the hands of God. My friend and I got our nips pierced and it was pretty painless! He was quick and very friendly.

I recommend Jeremy to anyone getting a piercing!! He is so sweet and great at what he does! Thank you for a great experience!

Got my snake bites here. Well taken care of. Great prices. Sanitary

Great service! Got my septum done and I am so pleased with it. Very humble guys. Will go back if I decide to get more.

Got my nose pierced by Jeremy, it has healed wonderfully in 3 weeks. Good choice of funky music.

Professional and super friendly. They know what they are doing for sure. Reasonably priced.

Ursula did a wonderful job on my piercings. She is friendly and provides excellent instructions

Justin pierced my daith and was amazing. He was incredibly informative and really kind. 5-star personality, 5-star piercer.

Got my cartilage piercing by Justin and he was super friendly, professional, and made sure to explain everything! Couldnt be more happy, thanks Justin!

Very pleasant staff, friendly and courteous. Wonderful location

David did my tattoo, this was my very first tattoo, he was very professional and gentle while doing so, I am terrible with needles and even then I was a little uncomfortable but it was completely tolerable! I would definitely come back here for all of my other tattoos.

I had a piercing taken out for almost 24 hours and it was half closed up. I didnt need it repierced I just needed a taper it through.It was a more complex male genital piercing and definitely painful NOT from the piercer just the area in general.He repeatedly checked in with me to make sure he was in the right spot and helped me with my pace my breathing.I always mess up the breathing with other piercers but he was perfect.AND he didnt charge me anything he just said to write a good review.thanks man!

Tiffany was amazing! I love my tattoos. Can’t wait to go back and get more.

My daughters recommended this place and for my birthday my daughter took me for something Ive talked about for years. Getting a very small stud piercing in my nose. I had Chris and he was fantastic. My girls have also had another gentlemen that did there piercings and liked him too!It didnt hurt and there was no blood. He listened to what I wanted and explained what I needed.Great friendly place.They only take cash but there is an atm inside.I cant think of anything else I want done but if I did is go there again.

The shop is small in size with quality service. Got my nose pierced there about a month ago. Awesome little shop!

Went to get a tattoo When the guy didnt copy what i wanted and asked him to fix a piece of the ONE WORD tattoo he quickly made the correction like he was annoyed. When we were finished he kept messing around with the price and when we asked him about a part that was a little too shallow and faint on a line he told us not to critique him.

Jeremy is the best piercer in Dallas! He did all my piercing and lobe stretching, and now pierced my daughters ears. This tattoo shop is by the book. Very clean, and friendly. Do it.

Cute little shop. Got my smiley pierced here, the piercer did good.

Jeff brown rocks!! Great customer service, awesome artists and fair price. Plus you get to carouse the area for a bite to eat. Or a drink.

I got ear oil for my lobes and they feel amazing! I also got stretching bomb and it made everything a lot easier

Awesome

My wife and I went in for our very first tattoos. Johnny did an awesome job with both of them. Highly recommend.

Jeremy is an extraordinary piercer! Ive been going to him for nearly a decade now!

I got a tattoo from here last year and my nose pierced from here about 3 years ago, Ive got nothing bad to say about this place. I do have a question if anyone can answer? I have my nipples pierced and I was wondering where can I buy new rings at? Just want to change them up, im getting tired of my silver barbells any suggestions will help.Thanks! :-)

Top notch facility and the friendliest staff! Will definitely be coming back to get more work done.

Jeremy has done both my piercings and he does the job efficiently and quickly! Both times i went for my septum and my nips i was in and out in ten minutes.

I have got all my dermal piercings at hold fast Jeremy is AMAZING each time Ive went hes always patient and, professional...

I got a tattoo there over Thanksgiving and they did an awesome job. I walked in with my idea and they put it down and got it done real quick. Will be going back.

Super awesome friendly staff, got a septum pricing and he did it extremely quick painlessly and straight

The tattoo artists are incredibly rude and arrogant. The piercer is very nice and professional but unfortunately I will not be returning again because of the former.

First of all, the piercer was very professional but the tattoo artists were vulgar and they made me feel uncomfortable. I know not everybody from around here is from Texas, but in Texas if a woman walks into the room, you are supposed to respect their presence but these guys were not. They practically ignored me while they were going on about women on Tinder, and they werent talking nice about them. As a woman, with plenty of money to spent on tattoos, my life is in the hands of a strange man, I want to know he respects me. If I were a woman who cares about herself, I would stay away from there.

Super friendly guys, if you want a chill atmosphere come to hold fast

Amazing piercing services. Ive had 4 piercings done here--a double tragus, forward helix, and single nostril piercing--and the piercers are so professional, they do it right every single time. The staff is very welcoming and casual, while also being extremely knowledgeable about both the piercing process itself and aftercare. Additionally, they know a great deal about which piercings look best where.I strongly recommend Hold Fast to anyone whos looking for an affordable, professional place to get a piercing.UPDATE: Since posting this review, I have had several more piercings done at Hold Fast, namely a second lobe, an inner conch, outer conch, daith, and septum piercing. Once more, Im very pleased with Hold Fasts consistently excellent service. Im definitely planning to return in the future!
