Tattoo By Design

Went to try and find Sean or Mari and didn't know they had moved. This place is completely shut down. I did find them after reading his post. The new place is off Lamar and Baird Farm, about 10 miles from the old location in Irving.

If you read the following reviews, they are all for Mari Belle, and myself, Sean E Bones. We have opened our own location at 1912 Baird Farm Rd in Arlington, TX. Just google spookshow tattoo. Again we are NO LONGER at Tattoo By Design,

My friend and I are new to the DFW area and I been wanting a my second tat and my friend on the other hand was trying to get his first one. After doing some research and reading many reviews "Tattoos By Design" had the most review. So we

You hear ads on the radio about other studios, and how great they are, but can they prove it? Can they show you the awards, the magazines they are in, and most of all actually tattoo? spending a ton on advertising does not a pro studio

First of all , your reveiw is a fluffed up piece of BS. The "design" you wanted was a horrible choice, Mari drew up several alternitives, at no cost to you, and you took 3 or 4 days to return. I am glad that you were able to find a shop

Pros: We care what you put on your body

Cons: We aren't fast enough for crazy old broads

Sean E Bones, of Tattoo By Design, is without a doubt one, if not not, THE, best Tattooer in the DFW area. There are many shops in Irving, trust me, they ALL DO INFERIOR WORK. Don't beleive me? Go visit the others in person and look at the

I went to this place because they had good reviews on citysearch. However, when I got there, it was in a bad neighborhood, and when I asked for ideas they sent me to google because they didnt have anything put together in the shop. The

I can't begin to describe how killer my new ink is. tattoos bydesign in Irving the the spot man. Sean is a monster, get some ink NOW!!!

Pros: The work, The attitude, The atmosphere

Cons: Expensive, but well worth the money.

I went all over DFW looking for a REAL tattoo STUDIO. I found it tucked away in Irving. Tattoo by design really has it together. They took a horrible description of what I wanted, and drew a perfect tattoo, then the actual tattoo came out

I have had two done by Mari. One was very small and no big deal. The other was larger and on a tender area. She is so skilled and so professional. She will take your ideas and run with them and produce something awesome. And remember, if

Cons: A little higher than other shops.

Yeah, I was scared to get my first tattoo. I was sure it was going to be the most painful experience of my life, and I was going to pay to get it done to me. I was wrong, well, about how much it hurts. Everyone bthere was great and I will

While every tattoo shop in town was stealing Elm St Tattoos $13 tattoo special, I went to tattoo by design and got a REAL tattoo for a decent price. I am glad I avoided the hype and got some great ink, from a real artist. (this is not a

Tattoo by design, is the ONLY place I would trust to mark my body forever. Yeah, they are a little expensive, but I would rather have a perfect tattoo or piercing, than get a staph infection, and save some bucks. I can't understand how

I had flown into DFW for a business trip, and while there stumbled upon tattoos by design. Bones was very friendly and helped me come up with the perfect tattoo. I LOVE it. If I am in town again soon, I will be back for sure. Thanks Bones!

I just wanted to say thank you to the artists at tattoo by design for treating me so well, and the great work. I am sorry I forgot your name, but the big guy with the ponytail did a hell of a job on my tattoo, and I will be back. Thanks

After researching shops online, chose this one due to great reviews, but due to location, wound up @ another shop - but left because of "bad attitudes" from staff. Sucked it up and took the drive to Irving - we were a little cynical @

I found Tattoo By Design over the internet and after reading their reviews decided that's where I wanted to go to get my next tattoo. Mari is the one who did it and she did a WONDERFUL job. I have to say overall that this has been the

Just stopped in yesterday for a tattoo and I am extremely happy with it. Sean took my idea and made it look better than I had seen it in my head. Nice shop and extremely friendly. Glad I didn't go anywhere else. I will definitley be

Everyone in and around Irving who gets tattoos or piercings should bow down and kiss the a$$ of everyone at tattoo by design for saving Irving for bad ink. I have been to every shop in the area from the dives to the high end, and this

I love my new tattoo from you guys. Thanks a buncg. Will be back soon! Kisses! Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Better than the rest

I appriciate the great work you guys did on my new tattoo. I will be back as soon as I get paid again.

I waited 50 years to get my first tattoo. My wife would never alow it while she was alive. At the ripe age of 72 I got my tattoo. I am happy I did it, and sorry I waited so long.

I am stoked dude! I have found the spot of all spots for tattooing. It's in Irving!! They are WAY better than these other crapholes. Don't waste your time, come straight here, unless you need a laugh or hepititis, then go to the crapholes.

Pros: DUDE!

Got my ears tapered up today by mary at tattoo by design. It was a little less painful than i expected. Very happy with the result.

Thanks to the guys and gal at the tattoo shop for helping me find a great tattoo. I will be back for more.

I get ALL my tattoos done by Sean at tattoo by design. You should too. Unless your one of those people that think cheap = good. cuz it don't buddy.

Pros: they fed me too.

Just got my sacred cow tat. fellin good. not bad all. I drew it myself. It's a cow. It's a large tat.

Pros: cows!

Cons: Moo

Not only did I get the exact tattoo i have been searching for, I got it at a much better price than I had been qouted by the shack up the street.

Pros: Clean, comfortable, friendly

A quick note to thank the staff at tattoo by design for a wonderfull tattoo, and piercing. Although I fully intended for this to be my only tattoo, I may be back for more. :)

Sorry, couldn't resist. But seriously folks, this is the SPOT for your TATOOS. You have to see it to beleive it. They have computers to browse through hundreds of thousands of designs, or have one drawn for you.

Hell yeah, I just got my 15th tattoo from Mr. Sean E Bones himself, and I am a happy man. A great big happy man I am.

My new tattoo is the greatest thing I have ever seen. It is not a "tattoo" as much as a piece of moving art. I am proud to wear this. It is very, very, rewarding!

Pros: Not mean, great selection, custom drawings

Cons: very cold in the shop!

I love my new tattoo. I made plans for my next, before this one was even done. Sean has a very light hand, it was almost painless!

Sean asked me to vote on my way out after my new tattoo. I love it! He did a great job. I'm coming in next week to have some more added on. Thanks dude!!!!!!!
