Ranked: North Texas' best tattoo shops according to Yelp

Getting a tattoo is one of life's more important decisions considering it sticks with you for just as long. It requires shopping around and finding the right artist who understands your vision.

Fear not ink seekers. We teamed up with the folks at Yelp to find the top 15 tattoo parlors in North Texas. Yelp compiled this list based on both star rating and the number of reviews. To make the list, businesses needed at least five recommended reviews (that is, ones that other Yelpers found useful).

We only searched Dallas, Fort Worth and Denton, so if you're favorite spot is somewhere in between, it won't be on this list. But be sure to tell us about it on Twitter. Happy inking!
