satisfied with my artist.

school not long before I received his work. He was very professional about
his work. His work area was neat and clean and he was good company for the
two hours that he worked on me.

Shop Review: Very professional. First tattoo, but I think it looks great.
Mark was very friendly and helpful.
Artist Review--Mark Thompson: In a word, Flawless. No jewelry was sold
that wasn't autoclaved. The staff was helpful and infomative. I've been
in Doctor's offices that weren't this clean. If you are anywhere near
Dallas, Give them a look.

Shop Review: The shop is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful.
It is a very laid back atmosphere. Each artist has his own room with the
ability to close it off to make it private.
Artist Review--Mark Thompson: Mark Thompson did a cover-up piece for me
placing a dragon over an outline of texas that covered my shoulder. He
designed the dragon himself. I could not be more pleased. The work is
awesome and the colors work well together. Mark knows his stuff. He works
with you, not just on you.

Shop Review: Very clean shop, with nice music, no smoking/drinking inside.
Friendly environment and artists. Fun neighborhood.
Artist Review--Mike O.: This tiger is my third tattoo, but it is the
best-looking one. I know Mike from doing a tattoo on my mother-in-law.
She was very nervous, but relaxed when he started working on the design she
drew herself--a very complicated Celtic heart. It was her first and the
only tattoo, but looked like she didn't have any more fear right after he
began. Then, couple of months later, I was getting mine done; so, I went
to Mike. Even though the shop was about to close, Mike stayed and did a
wonderful job! I love my tiger; it's so clear, sharp, and good-looking that
I am still very exited about it! I would recommend Mike to anyone who
would want his tattoo to look as great as mine!

Shop Review: The shop was very well maintained. Clean, comfortable,
exceeded all state laws/regulations. All piercing and tattoo areas had
could be closed off for privacy. All the staff is exceptionally helpful,
and they are just fun people to be around.
Artist Review--Miles: I know only a bit about Mile's background, that he
apprenticed in a shop in Corpus Christi, Texas, before moving to San
Antonio. As to the quality of his work, I could not be happier. Due to the
nature of the tattoo I wanted, he was only able to make a silhouette of the
circle in the center. Otherwise, he had to refer to the picture that I
brought in, of the eclipse I wanted. He freehanded all but that center
circle, and mixed the colors to damn near perfectly match what I brought
in. His manner was very open and courteous. He answered all of the
questions I asked him, whether it be about the tattoo or just making
conversation. He also allowed a friend of mine to film him working for a
documentary said friend was making for a film class. It was evident in
talking to him that he enjoyed what he did and based on my first
experience, he is quite good. I have referred several of my friends to him,
all of which are just as happy as I am with their work, and I have gone
back for two more tattoos with him myself.

Shop Review: The shop is beautiful! They have thousands of beautiful
designs
to choose from. Everything seemed so clean and neat. I was very
impressed. There are a couple of other tattoo studios in the area, and to
be quite honest, they're pretty scummy compaired to Numb Skulls Tattoo.
Another thing that really impressed me was their attitude. They wern't
rude and patronizing like a few that I talked to before deciding to go
here. I had a wonderful time and am already planing a second tattoo.
Thank you, Possum and Storm!
Artist Review--Possum: When you walk through the door, the first thing that
hits you is
the wonderful, clean smell. Numb Skulls Tattoo is a small husband/wife
operation. The shop, itself, is on the east side of Terrell, on Hwy 80.
Possum, the artist and his wife Storm were extremely friendly. They seemed
really concerned about what I wanted, and were more than happy to help
design this lovely dragon, which twists through some fluffy clouds, on my
back. Their prices are very reasonable. Possum was very diligent when it
came to keeping everythig clean and sanitary. He changed his gloves
several times and was very proud to talk about his sterilization
procedures. He was very informative. He told me about how to properly
care for my new tattoo and invited me to come back after a couple of months
to see if any of the colors needed a touch-up. When I returned for my
belly piercing, Possum and Storm remembered me and were, again, very
friendly and helpful. The piercing went off without any hitches. Possum
was very professional. He knows what he's doing and displays a lot of
confidence. That was very comforting to me. He says he's been
doing tattoos for 15 years and piercings for five.I will recommend Possum
to all of my tattooed friends.
