Client Reviews

I’ve been getting tattooed by Franko for about 4 years now, and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. Every session is a great experience — super chill, all good vibes, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his craft and his clients. I personally prefer fine line tattoos, and Franko absolutely nails that style, but what really stands out is how versatile he is. He can work across a wide range of styles and still deliver high-quality, detailed results every time. Franko consistently brings my ideas to life and somehow makes them even better than I imagined. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism really set him apart, and he always makes sure I’m comfortable throughout the whole process. I recently followed him over to Griffin Ink, and it’s awesome to see the new shop coming together. The space is clean, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere already — you can tell it’s going to be something special. If you’re thinking about getting work done, I highly recommend booking with Franko. You’ll get high-quality work and a great overall experience every time.

All the staff here are super talented and friendly. I follow Ashley on her socials and love all her work. Can’t wait to have her do some character work! Mike did my first two pieces and he already has designed an important piece for me.

Isaiah has done every tattoo of mine, and everytime he does such an amazing job, and he’s very talented, thorough and he always makes sure every aspect is perfect. The environment of the shop is another addition as to why i loved getting this tattoo! everyone is very friendly and they make sure you are comfortable!

Ashley Griffin is an extremely talented tattoo artist!!! She created a piece that memorialized my mother. Starting with a photo, she brought my mother to life in my piece and was able to incorporate all of my ideas. Working with her was seamless and my tattoo turned out better than I could’ve imagined. I can’t wait for her to design my next piece. If you are looking for an artist, I strongly suggest you take a look at Ashley Griffin’s work. You won’t be sorry!!

I can’t say enough good things about Franko and the incredible experience my husband and I had with him. From the moment we walked in, you could feel how much love and passion he has for his craft. That energy radiates not only from Franko, but also from his wife Katlin, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Franko’s attention to detail, talent, and dedication to making sure my tattoo was perfect truly blew me away. He made me feel comfortable, heard, and excited every step of the way. During the rougher parts of the tattoo, Katlin was there helping calm me down and encouraging me, which meant more than I can put into words. Together, they create such a welcoming and positive atmosphere that makes the whole experience unforgettable. My tattoo turned out even better than I imagined, and it’s clear that Franko pours his heart into every piece he creates. My husband and I can confidently say we’ve found our new tattoo artist for life. If you’re looking for someone incredibly talented who genuinely cares about both the art and the people he works with, Franko is the one.

I’ve been lucky enough to see and work with the owner for 6 years now. She’d been striving towards owning her own shop the entire time I’ve known her, and her passion is evident in her work and now her shop. 10/10 would recommend choosing Griffin Ink for any tattoo and body piercing desires!

So impressed by this new studio! It is clean and family friendly with a fun pop culture flair. The artists are all kind and welcoming. They will match you with the artist that best fits your needs not just who is available first.

I’ve worked with Ashely a lot. The amount of effort and creativity she puts into her clients work is something I haven’t seen in other tattooers very often. She is %100 trying to make her clients vision perfect. This is someone who tattoos you and knows that tattooing goes way more than skin deep.

I have had two previous tattoos with Ashley and she absolutely killed it with both! They have both healed beautifully and are over 2 yrs old and still look AMAZING!! I’m so happy that she finally opened her own studio. I visited on opening day and got some small tattoos and I absolutely love them! So if anyone is needing an Artist that will make sure your tattoo looks perfect, will go above and beyond to make your idea come to life, and will make you feel incredibly welcomed then I HIGHLY recommend visiting Griffin Ink tattoo studio. (The small ones are the most recent and are still healing)

I got a tattoo that I shouldn't have by someone who shouldn't be tattooing and thankfully, Ashley has been helping me rework and fix it to make it even better and adding as we go. I can't wait to eventually have the finished product. Even now I get so many compliments on it even as its still not done yet. 👏🏻💗

I have a handful of tattoos done by Ashley. She has a steady hand and takes her time on the line work. She also helped re-work a prior tattoo (done by someone else) and made it look better. I would recommend getting art done by her, especially if you're in the Dallas or Rowlett area. Professional and clean.

Was greeted by an extremely friendly staff. Had water and arcade games in the lobby. Super chill vibe. I'm used to the tattoo shops you go to and everyone is mean mugging you like your bothering them and this was the complete opposite. Best tattoo experience I have ever had.

I have gone to Ashley for 5 of my 6 tattoos. She also did a huge cover up! Great environment and great artists.

Ashley and Mike are the BEST! Quality work and treat you with the utmost respect.

Have a couple of tattoos from Franko - dude does excellent work.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Griffin Ink. It is clean, spacious & awesome. 👏 My artist Franko never lets me down and to see him work in a new spot was awesome. I love my tattoo!! Go see Franko! 👏

Franko has been my go to guy for the past 5 years he’s an amazing artist and person his pricing is fair and he’s always a great conversationalist if I can urge you to do a one thing it would be to get a tattoo from him it’s an experience you’ll never forget

Ashley is fantastic and her new shop is amazing. She has done 2 pieces for me and they are both beautiful. The space is welcoming and comfortable. Her skill is unmatched, if you’re in the market for a tattoo do not miss out on an opportunity to have your work done here, 10/10 recommend Services

Mike was an amazing tattoo artist, he was kind, careful, made sure I was comfortable, truly deserving of 5 stars, if yall are trying to get a tattoo, definitely come here and they'll treat you right

Been getting my tattoos from Franko for years! Absolutely best line work I’ve found. Always such a good time getting work from him and love the shop!

Been working with Ashley for 3 years, and every experience is fantastic! Two full sleeves with cover up work, and working on leg sleeve now. Pictures!!! Looking forward to many more years of work from her and her team!

Isaiah does amazing work! He did my neck and hand tattoo

Ashley does amazing work. I had her do a cover up peice for me and I couldn't be happier. I flew out to see her since she moved. And I'm planning to go back for more. Super clean and professional shop. Thank you all!

The artists in this shop are extremely talented, efficient, humble, courteous, and professional! I cannot recommend this shop enough to anyone in the area!

Super great shop! Amazing art from Ashley, highly recommend :)

Very friendly staff, clean area, and Isaiah is very polite and made sure I was comfortable the whole process! Would 100% recommend to a friend 😄

4/10/2026 - My wife and I had been thinking about getting a new tattoo for quite some time now. We struggled in the basic questions; what are we going to get, where are we going to place it, who are we going to have do it? Well we found Griffon Ink a very new Tattoo and Piercing establishment (opened on 3/13/2026), in Princeton very close to our home. We contacted them in within the hour I was texted by Ashley who asked me a few questions and set up an In person consultation at the shop for noon the following day. We arrived at our appointment and I was introduced to Isaiah. After talking with him we set up an appointment to get the new tattoo done for the following Friday. Friday came, and I met with Isaiah and after approximately (3) three hours my new tattoo was completed. I was very pleased with how it came out and Isaiah was friendly and courteous, and even though he only has had a few years experience he did an awesome job. All in all, if you are looking to get pierced or some ink done then I highly recommend Griffon Ink.

I can’t recommend my tattoo artist enough! I’ve known her for a little over a year now, and she continues to amaze me every time. She is incredibly talented, respectful, and truly passionate about what she does. You can tell she values her art—she stays focused, doesn’t take unnecessary breaks, and gives her full attention to every detail. Not only is her work amazing quality, but she’s also so kind and compassionate, making the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. She really listens and brings your vision to life in the most beautiful way. I can’t wait to see all the other creations she helps bring to life in the future! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their craft and their clients, she’s the one to go to! 🎨🖤

These artist are legit. PHENOMENAL WORK! Awesome shop too! Took my wife in for some work and it turned out breathtaking. We found our new Artist! Thanks again Ashley! Oh yeah go follow her on instagram!! @griffintattoos13

I cannot recommend Ashley at Griffin Ink Tattoo enough! She did the most beautiful job on my daughter’s birth flower tattoo and it came out even better than I imagined. Her attention to detail, precision, and artistry truly set her apart. She made the whole experience comfortable and special, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. If you’re looking for the best tattoo shop in the metroplex, this is it. Clean, professional, and incredibly talented artists. I’m beyond in love with my tattoo and will definitely be coming back to Ashley for future pieces!

I have been getting Tattoos from Ashley for years! She is easily the best artist in Texas! 100% recommend!

Ashley does incredible work. She can take ideas and turn them into something better than the customer imagined. Her line work is excellent.

I have gotten 4 pieces done by Ashley and they are all amazing! Highly recommend anyone come to her for their next tattoo.

Working with Ashley has been an incredible experience. We crossed paths through the unfortunate mishap of a previous tattoo artist who couldn’t complete the project. Fortunately, Ashley stepped in and finished it with exceptional black and gray work. Since then, we’ve collaborated on a Dragon Ball Shenron half sleeve that I’m incredibly satisfied with. Ashley is amazing, easy to talk to, super chill, open-minded, and eager to work on new projects.

Ashley is the absolute best. When it comes to tattooing and customer service/care. She’s incredible. I’ve received 3 tattoos so far and am so pleased with the outcome. She exceeds the expectations every time we are brainstorming a new piece. Seriously give her a chance, you will not be disappointed!

Ashley is not just a tattoo artist — she is a tattoo wizard. A skin Picasso. A masterpiece machine. From the first consultation to the final wipe-down, she was incredible. Super talented, insanely detailed, and so easy to work with. She made the whole process fun and stress-free, and the final tattoo is beyond perfect — it’s art I’ll be obsessed with forever. If you’re thinking about booking with her — stop thinking and DO IT.

I am so excited for this shop! Ive been going to Ashley for a few years now and these photos are just an example of the amazing work she has done for me! Shes a true artist. I give her a general idea of what I want and she brings it to life with her creativity and talent! I get so many compliments on my work done by her and now my husband and cousin both have work from her too. I highly recommend Ashley if you want some high quality work.

I have worked with Ashley twice for tattoos and both times were amazing! I am no artist, and with only basic input from me she was able to create two amazing tattoos that came out fantastic! Easy to work with and great experience all around.
