www.lalobe.comLa Lobe Piercing Salon is family-operated and opened for business back in 1967. One of the great things about La Lobe is that they specialize specifically in piercing, while many other piercing parlors are also tattoo parlors. If you're looking to get your baby's ears pierced then this is a great place to go, as they specialize in baby piercings and have been performing them for over 23 years. At this salon, they don't use the piercing gun method because it does not allow for the precision most people are looking for. The jewelry used at this salon is only made of steel or gold and is of good quality, which is important when you need to heal from a new piercing.
Tigermoon Tattoo
2051 West Northwest Hignway
Dallas, TX 75220

www.tigermoonstudios.comAt Tigermoon Tattoo, they embrace the idea of communal art. Often the artist, client and friends or other clients are encouraged to interact and celebrate the art of tattooing. Piercing, however, is conducted in a closed section of the studio for privacy. The studio and its employees pride themselves on making the environment safe and comfortable for their clients, and they make sure to keep the materials clean and sanitized. Aftercare is talked about verbally and clients are also given instructions to take home.
