Ghostfire Tattoo and Piercing

Ghostfires staff was super friendly!! Clayton turned our vision into exactly what we wanted. Cannot recommend him and the shop enough. Friendly, fun and super clean.

I got my septum (pictured) done today by Darby, he is so friendly and very comfortable to be around. He talked me through each step of the entire piercing process, which I really appreciated. I loved that he set the expectations of what the piercing would look like and allowed me to see what it would look like before getting pierced, since I have a slightly deviated septum. The apprentice that watched Darby give the piercing was also very nice, hope she learned a lot! The whole staff seems very friendly! The price($90 total), in my opinion, is very inexpensive for how quick, painless, and overall amazing the experience! I will DEFINITELY be coming back to Ghostfire for more piercings (and maybe even tattoos) in the future👏

Had a fantastic experience with Darby today! It was my first move into multiple ear piercings, and he made the process so simple. He explained everything well and the piercings are wonderful! Can’t wait to go back!

I had a great experience here. My artist was Shane, he provided some phenomenal work as well as everyone being very personable and welcoming. The girl at the front desk is also very kind and helpful. I will be back for more work in the near future for sure.

Darby was fantastic! He was friendly and efficient! He explained what he was doing each step of the way. His station was the epitome of clean and sterile. All around, great experience! Looking forward to my next visit.

I got my first tattoo here & was a little anxious but the artist made me feel very comfortable! I also got double nose piercings and a conch done by Darby. Darby is 100% my go to for piercings! Highly recommend!! Very nice environment!

Had the absolute best experience at this shop! My family and I came for Friday the 13th tattoos and we’re not disappointed. Every single person working at this shop was beyond kind, helpful, and welcoming. The shop is awesomely decorated and there are endless tattoo flashes to choose from. The effort that was put into my boyfriend and I’s tattoos is amazing. They look perfect!! Unfortunately my family and I live in Texas, so not close to this shop at all, but anytime we come to Shreveport, we will make sure to stop by here. Thanks to everyone at ghostfire, y’all are awesome and much appreciated!! 👻

Darby gave me my first cartilage piercing and went smoothly with a nice pure gold stud. Very clean and sterile in a welcoming environment.

Shane and his crew are professional and all about the customer service! Enjoyed my first ink. These guys are fabulous!!

TLDR; I was pierced with jewelry that was way too small and almost ended up in the ER, piercer never responded.My piercer was Darby. The appointment went fine, but within a few hours of getting the piercing, the jewelry felt extremely tight and painful. I woke up in the middle of the night days later in severe pain with a badly swollen ear. I sent pictures to Darby expressing concern. Hours later, I saw he had posted pictures of my piercing but had still failed to respond to my messages. I called the shop later to see if someone could help, but I was told that Darby was busy and that he would get back to me tomorrow. At 9pm my ear was beyond swollen, was so red that it looked purple, with pus. I noticed that the back of the jewelry was starting to migrate INTO my ear. I sent another message and an updated picture to Darby while calling every tattoo shop that was open and thankfully I was able to find another piercer to help me.They told me the post was way too short and had begun migrating INTO my ear, creating a huge hole. It took 10 minutes to remove the jewelry just because of how swollen my ear was and how much of the jewelry had begun migrating into my ear. Later Darby messaged me back, saying that I could come back tomorrow and he could look at it. (They don’t open until 1pm, and I don’t think I could have waited another night.) He also said that no refunds were allowed, but that we could reuse the jewelry (that I paid for) for a future piercing.Update: In response to their reply, I would just like to add that I contacted them multiple times within their scheduled hours and no one was willing to work with me or help me despite it being an urgent matter.

I have known the owner for years! He does fantastic work, and it feels like a traditional tattoo shop! They have multiple artists with different styles, so you are sure to find someone that can create the art you are looking for.

Zack was awesome. He was really cool to talk to and he was super fast with my tattoo. Even though I winned like a kid he was cool through the entire process. Ill be back for sure.

After hours of calling and visiting several other shops, Jeff Patterson was the only one who took the time and helped me out. Everyone one else would only do appointments and was booked for several weeks out. Other places wouldnt even help me because it was cover up I needed. Jeff went above and beyond and was super helpful and does excellent work. I highly recommend this and I will be back.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CLAYTON!!!! Absolutely love everything about him. Outstanding work and most down to earth personality. Will 1000% be back for more work soon!

Went as moral support for a friend getting another piercing. her piercer Darby was wonderful, he went over all the safety/sterilization information prior to and then very clearly explained after care for the piercing once he was done. their facility was very clean and all equipment was properly sterilized. all employees we dealt with were friendly and accommodating. will definitely be a repeat customer.

Shane McCormick is absolutely phenomenal. I got my 2nd tattoo from him today. . A memorial tattoo based on one he did on my sister that I lost earlier in the year. I cant tell you how calming he is, how easy he is to talk to. . .and the work he does is just beautiful. Would recommend over and over again!

Love, love, love these guys!! I’ve gotten both tattoos and piercings here and to say they are amazing is an UNDERSTATEMENT, they are sooo much more. Great at pulling together a vision and making it 1000x better. Shane is such a nice guy and an unbelievable artist. The quality of the tattoos are better than good and I honestly can’t even pick a favorite tattoo from him because they are all perfect. Darby is also awesome! He’s so friendly and great at calming nerves and making piercings a breeze. He’s also so educated about piercings and such. The shop is clean and feels so welcoming! I’m so glad I met and found these guys!

I just want to give big props to the piercer, Darby. He is a very kind, professional piercer who made the experience of downsizing my nostril jewelry quick and easy! I had some trouble with it after the first day of downsizing, so I went back and he took care of it completely free of charge. Not only that, but I’m transgender and when filling out the consent form, I wrote my legal name down with my preferred name in parentheses. I went out to my friend’s car to grab her phone, and when we came back, I noticed he had completely scribbled out my legal name on the form. That really meant a lot to me, and I forgot to thank him for that. He’s just an all around really great guy and a fantastic piercer. I highly recommend him!

Got my nose pierced by Darby and it was a wonderful experience!! He talks to you through the whole procedure making sure your comfortable and know what’s happening step by step. Hes very professional and knows all about the jewelry and uses the highest quality, sterilizing it right after you pick it out! Definitely recommend he knows his stuff

I am so impressed with Ghostfire Tattoo! Shane McCormick has done two of my tattoos, and they are by far my favorites tattoos. I love the way Shane can conceptualize exactly what it is that I am wanting and then transform it into amazing art. He does excellent work! And Darby McCormick did a great job with my nose piercing. My nose was pierced a few years ago by another studio, but I wasnt happy with the placement. Darby was so patient with me as we explored several different options. He is very knowledgeable about his art. He did an excellent job! I am super happy with my new piercing. And it didnt hurt nearly as bad as my prior piercings! Whether you are interested in new ink or a new piercing, I highly recommend Ghostfire Tattoo. These guys are top notch.

Will be my new go to spot for tattoos and piercings! Jeff is amazing, very knowledgeable and credible. One of the best artist in North LA by far, beautiful traditional work! Darby is a very professional and helpful piercer, makes sure to keep contact if u have any issues or questions. Staff is super sweet and laid back, the shop is beautiful too!

Went in for a consultation w/ Darby due to piercing irritations from another local facility for my navel and nostril. Turned out I needed better quality jewelry and different styles. Darby explained and walked me through the whole process. He was very helpful and knowledgeable definitely recommend for service !!

The shop was so clean and was decorated so well. I was immediately greeted when I entered and the artist even started working on my tattoo as soon as I got there which was a little before my appointment time. Everyone there was so great and friendly. I love getting tattooed by Shane. He does amazing work and makes you feel right at home.This is my new favorite tattoo shop.

Shane has done all but 2 of my tattoos and they are all amazing! Darby is currently in the process of doing a constellation piercing for me and so far I am absolutely in love! By far the best I have ever been too!

Just got my nose pierced by Darby! I definitely recommend only going too him for your piercings, he walks you all the way through the whole piercing process, made it very smooth and comfortable! Will only be seeing him for my piercings for now on. Jewelry is too die for. Also shane is amazing as well have gotten all of my tattoos done by him! Great business!

Darby pierced my nose. He was very patient and explained everything to be before he did it. The shop is beautiful and clean, it almost felt like a medical procedure but more fun. 😆 Having allergies to other metals I loved finding a place local-ish that offers REAL gold jewelry. I can’t wait to schedule for a tattoo!

I originally wanted to see Darby,but went ahead with my 2nd decision instead. The 2nd choice ended up giving me shotty jewelry. I reached out to Darby to help me. I didnt want to have to lose the hole. He helped get me the proper jewelry, and I havent had any piercing problems since. I have been going to him ever since. For about a month now. So always go with your original choice. See Darby, hes a good guy and hell take care of you!

Shane and his staff are hands down the best. Very friendly, reasonable and talented. Shane has done several tats for me and no doubt my favorite ones are the ones I let Shane have more influence on design.I always highly recommend Ghostfire to anyone. Doesn’t matter if this is your first Tat or piercing or your looking to complete a sleeve, these guys are the best.

Shane is AMAZING and so talented, very professional, extremely clean. I have followed Shane for many years. My husband and daughter got tattoos from Shane as well and we are all so pleased. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND GHOSTFIRE TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS. Darby did a helix piercing on me he was so sweet and very knowledgeable, informative and sterile. I didnt even feel the piercing. If you need a piercing I highly recommend Darby. Everyone there is wonderful they will ALWAYS have my business in the future I would not trust anyone else!!! GHOSTFIRE TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS ARE THE BEST!!!

Super clean spot with a great group of artist who can cover any style. Awesome owners who make anyone feel welcome.

Ive been going to Shane for a several years now and I don’t trust anyone else when it comes to tattoos. Clean, professional, and always quality work. & if you’re in need of a piercing, Darby’s your guy. A one stop shop in Shreveport for amazing tattoos and piercings.

Darby pierced my fiancé’s septum and did a wonderful job! And Clayton did matching tattoos on the two of us and they are absolutely beautiful! Everyone there was very kind and professional. The building is very clean, organized, and beautifully decorated! I highly recommend any of the artists at Ghostfire.

Great experience. Took my 17 year old daughter for her first tattoo today. Very impressed with the young man that did our tattoo. Ive had several throughout the years and they were heavy handed. This young man has a great future. Yall need to check him out. These werent very big but he still did awesome job and no pain at all my daughter even said .

Darby is nothing short of fantastic! I’ve had my nose pierced in the past and Darby did a double nostril for me today. I barely felt the 1st and the 2nd wasn’t bad at all! He is super sweet and professional. Very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend!

I got a daith piercing for my birthday. Darby has incredible customer service, explains everything thoroughly, and truly enjoys what he does. The shop is stringently clean. I would recommend Darby all day long!

I got a helix and conch piercing by Darby and it was a wonderful experience. Ive gotten piercing from other shops in town, but this was the most painless! Darby really takes the time to explain everything and walk you through what he is doing. I will only be using him for my future piercings!

Got my septum pierced by Darby! Shop was very clean and Darby was the most educated piercer Ive met! He makes you feel comfortable and hes super professional! Def recommend!

Went and got my second tattoo from Jeff here and it did NOT disappoint (no surprise there). The artists here are always easy going and can share a laugh and small talk as you get poked. Oh- and their tats are AMAZING. I recommend again and again!!

Great shop for tattoos and piercings.Shane started a chest piece and Darby pierced my nostril.Very clean, professional, and informative about aftercare.Highly recommend for anyone looking to get work done.

Great service and people. They are always friendly and willing to help. Clayton is the man to talk to for any tattoo.

Darby did a great job on my nose piercing! He broke everything down into detail and was very kind. Will be going back.

A dope group of people up there. Love anytime I have an excuse to get in that place! Darby is badass at what he does and really makes the whole process a breeze. Would definitely only recommend going to him for piercings, really this is the only shop I would recommend in general.

The guys were very professional. It was a laid back and chill environment with great conversation while getting my tattoo. I was beyond happy with the tattoo Jeff gave me, he’s the best!!! It was what i wanted but better!! Definitely recommend going to see him!

Shane is my go to for almost any type of tattoo I can think up. I love that he has always been great about working with my crazy schedule and bringing all of my ideas to life. He is patient and has a gentle hand and creates beautiful work that is guaranteed to last a lifetime.

I came all the way back from NC just to have Shane tattoo me. He is always punctual, professional, and just an all around good guy. Always enjoy just hanging out in the shop and getting great work done. Will be coming back to town again for more.

Wonderful tattoo and piercing shop. My wife and I go here for all of our tattoos and piercings. We recommend all of our friends and family here. Wonderful atmosphere and great people. Will continue to use this shop until I have no more blank skin.
