Aces Tattoos

Ask anyone in Denton where to get pierced and Aces Tattoos comes up fast. This is a licensed tattoo and piercing studio that has earned a strong reputation around town, and once you spend a little time here it's easy to see why so many people keep coming back year after year. On the tattoo side, they're known for color work, traditional American old-school pieces, and neo-traditional. The shop is full of talented artists, and regulars have their favorites. Josh gets a lot of love, one person walked in with a photo of their grandmother's handwriting and he replicated it perfectly, then turned around and did a beautiful color piece for their fiance the same day.

Alex has built a following too, with folks finding his work on Instagram and coming back again and again. People will tell you the whole crew can be trusted, so you're in good hands no matter who's on shift. The piercing side might be even more beloved. Dorian and Lars come up over and over, and people who get pierced here swear by both of them. What we hear again and again is how carefully they handle placement, how patient and respectful they are, and how thoroughly they walk you through the process and the risks before anything happens.

One person had been getting pierced here for three years and couldn't say enough good things. When a nostril piercing developed a keloid, the team helped get the swelling down, that kind of aftercare attention is what keeps regulars loyal. Lobes, helix, conch, septum, belly button, they cover the range, and they carry quality jewelry to match what you're after. Walk-ins are welcome, and more than a few folks have gotten pierced with no wait at all, though if you want a specific piercer it's smart to check their schedule first. The studio uses single-use needles, and their own word is that they follow sterile, licensed practices.

Prices land in fair, affordable territory, and tattoos come backed by a lifetime warranty (with the usual exceptions below the wrist and ankle). If you're looking for a tattoo shop in Denton with skilled artists and some of the most trusted piercers around, Aces is a genuine local favorite.
