Tattooing since 1995
Meet Scott Cooksey, Owner of Lone Star Tattoo
Scott Cooksey began tattooing in 1995. In the early days, Scott tattooed in shops in Dallas' Deep Ellum and downtown districts. Scott 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, Sailor Jerry Collins, Bert Grimm and Don Ed Hardy, and being influenced by Austin tattooers Dave Lum and Chris Trevino.
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.
