About Space Monkey Tattoo
Space Monkey Tattoo has earned itself a real reputation in Arlington, and it shows. Ask anyone who's been inked here and they'll point you toward one of the most respected studios in the DFW area, with a near-flawless standing built up over the years. It's an artist-owned shop, and that ownership pride comes through in the range of work they turn out. The style list runs deep: traditional and neo-traditional, realism and portrait work, fine line, blackwork, illustrative pieces, anime, horror, and both color and black and grey.
Whatever direction you're leaning, there's likely someone here who does it well. People come in with an inspiration photo and leave with something even better than they pictured. They handle custom design and professional body piercing too. The artists are what keep folks coming back.
Andrew Shelton has a devoted following, with some regulars sticking with him for well over a decade for his line work and genuine care at the table. Josh Blumberg gets steady praise for color, blackwork, and anime, and has handled serious cover-up sessions that heal up beautifully. Kelley, Kory, Spencer, and Lucy all get their own loyal names dropped by happy clients. It's the kind of studio where the artists learn your name and joke around with you when you're in.
Locals consistently mention how clean the place is kept, from the stations to the flash sheets and layout. The vibe is professional but welcoming, and the crowd it draws is a diverse, easygoing one. For a skilled, community-minded tattoo shop in Arlington, this is one people happily recommend.
