Tattoo & Piercing FAQs – Arlington, TX
Q1: Do You Accept Walk-In Tattoos in Arlington, TX?
Yes. Pistol Pete’s Tattoo Saloon welcomes walk-in tattoo clients at our Arlington location when artist availability allows. Walk-ins can be a good option for smaller or less complex tattoos, while custom tattoos, portraits, large-scale work and tattoo cover-ups usually benefit from scheduling a consultation or appointment so the artist has time to properly plan the design and placement.
Q2: What styles of tattoos do you specialize in?
Our Arlington tattoo artists work across a wide range of styles, including black & grey, realism, color realism, portraits, fine line, traditional and
neo-traditional, Japanese-inspired tattoos, lettering, custom sleeves and large-scale tattoo work. We also specialize in custom tattoo designs and advanced tattoo cover-ups. The right style depends
on your idea, placement and the type of artwork you want, so we recommend reviewing an artist’s portfolio before choosing who will complete your tattoo.
Q3: Do You Specialize in Tattoo Cover-Ups?
Yes. Advanced tattoo cover-ups are one of Pistol Pete’s primary specialties. With more than a quarter century of tattooing experience, Pete works with unwanted tattoos, failed cover-ups, dark or difficult existing tattoos and tattoo reworks that require careful planning. Every cover-up is different, so the existing tattoo’s size, color, darkness, placement and surrounding skin must be evaluated before determining what can realistically be achieved. The goal is to create a new tattoo designed around the existing work so the finished piece looks intentional—not simply like another design placed over an old tattoo.
Q4: Do You Offer Body Piercing in Arlington, TX?
Yes. Our Arlington studio provides professional body piercing, including ear and cartilage piercings, nose and nostril piercings, septum, eyebrow, lip, navel, nipple and surface piercings. Piercings are performed using sterile single-use needles with placement based on the client’s individual anatomy. We also provide guidance on jewelry and proper piercing aftercare to support the healing process.
Q5: What Areas Do You Serve?
Our primary tattoo and piercing studio is located at 717 W. Division St. in Arlington, Texas, serving clients throughout Arlington and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, including Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Fort Worth, Irving, Euless, Bedford, Hurst and surrounding DFW communities. Pistol Pete’s Tattoo Saloon also has a Burleson, Texas location serving clients in Burleson and surrounding areas. Clients also travel to Pistol Pete’s from across Texas and beyond for custom tattoos and advanced tattoo cover-up work.
