Our Dallas Tattooing Process
The internet/social media is a great place to find ideas for your tattoo, but we don't suggest you replicate something found on Pinterest or Google. We don't just do cookie-cutters; we specialize in custom, hand drawn works of art.
We take the time to talk with each customer and craft the tattoo you envision. We can offer suggestions and advise you on the type of tattoo you're interested in. We can also advise on tattoos one may want to avoid due to being a quick and many times a regrettable fad. We also advise you on tattoo ideas that will have longevity.
Many people have the pre-conceived notion that tattoo parlors are like the ones you see on television, though that simply isn't true; especially of our shop. We keep a drama and hassle-free work environment so that you feel comfortable knowing you're in the hands of someone who is completely focused on their work and not the pretentious attitude of the ‘Masters of Ink’.
Meet the Owner, Scott Cooksey
Owner of Lone Star Tattoo, Scott Cooksey, began tattooing in 1995. In the early days, Scott tattooed at shops in Dallas' Deep Ellum downtown nightlife districts. This was a highlight of Scott's early tattooing career, where he quickly fine-tuned his skills and moved up the ladder in the Dallas tattoo scene.
Early on, Scott became passionate and knowledgeable in the American Traditional and irezumi traditional Japanese motifs. Intensely studying the tattoo masters like Horiyoshi III, Hokusai (Japanese painter 1760-1849), Sailor Jerry Collins, Bert Grimm and Don Ed Hardy, also being influenced by the likes of Austin tattooers Dave Lum and Chris Trevino. Scott fine-tuned his craft of tattooing into what some call “Texas Style” tattooing.

Before opening Lone Star Tattoo in 2005, Scott spent part of each year on the road traveling to other tattoo shops around the country as a guest artist and attending tattoo conventions. Scott continues to travel as a guest tattooist part of the year, mainly in Europe these days. Scott can be found tattooing full-time at Lone Star and is always open to booking appointments.
Tattoo Reviews & Testimonials
Working with Scott was a wonderful experience. From the start of the process he was enthusiastic, and he always made me feel excited for my next session. On top of his technical abilities, he has the incredible talent to take the ideas that are given to him and make them better. I never would have imagined my tattoo becoming as beautiful as it did.
Josephine is a true artist! I just left the shop 2 hours ago. It took me 3 months to design and sketch my own tattoo. She made the tattoo look even better than what I sketched out on paper. It means so much to me and represents my life and spiritual journey. Thank you so much Josephine and Scott!!!
Scott completed a traditional Japanese Shi Shi tattoo for me recently and it turned out great. From the first consultation to the last session, he worked with me to make sure I got what I wanted. He's easy to work with and very knowledgeable about tattoo's in general and Japanese traditional in particular. I highly recommend reaching out to Scott.
I went with my mom for her tattoo appointment with Josefhine. She was great and worked with my mom to create the tattoo she'd been envisioning.
