About Us

Welcome to Taboo Tattoo, the oldest and most renowned tattoo shop in Dallas, proudly serving the vibrant community of Deep Ellum since 1994. Our studio is a sanctuary of creative self-expression, where we blend old-school values with modern safety standards to provide our clients with exceptional custom tattoos and body piercings. As the oldest tattoo shop in Dallas, we have been open for 30 years, creating a legacy of artistic excellence and community spirit that continues to thrive.

Taboo Tattoo was founded by Sharon and Jimmy Flatte, whose vision was to create a space where art and personal expression could flourish. Sharon, a pioneer in the tattoo industry, has been a guiding force behind our shop's success. Her dedication to the craft and commitment to fostering a welcoming environment have set the standard for what a tattoo studio should be. Today, their legacy continues through their son, Cody Biggs, a second-generation artist who has been mentored by some of the biggest names in the business since he was eight years old. Cody's unique and fresh take on tattooing has earned him numerous awards and a loyal following.

At Taboo Tattoo, we treat each client as part of our extended family. Our team of award-winning, fully licensed artists is dedicated to bringing your unique vision to life, whether through custom artwork or the timeless designs that adorn our walls. We take pride in our clean, welcoming environment and our commitment to giving each client the respect and care they deserve. Our artists are not only skilled in their craft but also passionate about creating meaningful and lasting art.
