Downtown Proud
is not just a tag line for the Downtown Wichita Falls Development ; it is our focus. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit and we believe a healthy downtown is the heart of the city; it creates a sense of place for the citizens, businesses, and visitors.
Mission: Through public and private investment we will improve the downtown, entice new business and residents, and grow the economic base of our community and current businesses.

👋WELCOME DOWNTOWN!👋
Factory City Tattoo is located at 713 10th Street. Josh Williams has been tattooing for 17 years. He spent a lot of his 20`s tattooing all over the world, many countries in Europe and in Western Australia. He learned from some of the giants in tattooing like Nick Ley, Josh Arment, and Oliver Peck. Before opening his first shop in 2021, he worked at the world famous Aloha Monkey followed by Elm St Tattoo. He sold his shop in Dallas to move to Wichita Falls to settle down and raise his family.

Check out his work on Instagram, @joshltd. He is also looking for a couple more talented artists to add to the Factory City family!

Take a look! 👀 Here are some inside photos of J.F. Keller, 613 7th Street (see previous post). This treasure of an old building needs a lot of work to be saved, but we are up for the challenge, with some help from our friends. That`s where you come in. For Texoma Gives this year we are raising money to update the facade; replace windows, doors, and secure the entry ways. Find out more about the project and how toggle at the link in our bio.
