During my visit to Prescott I booked a tattoo appointment with Aubrey. When visiting a new tattoo…read morestudio you never know if you're going to be met with the more traditional heavy metal and flash all over the walls or a more contemporary studio that's cozy. Toothpick is definitely the latter. It's a cool and cozy art space that has a few different tattoo artists and also holds events. All of the artists there were warm and friendly. I really couldn't have had a better experience getting tattooed and recommend this shop!

I have been to a few Movement with M'Lynn classes and highly recommend it. I also deeply appreciate their attention to accessibility and mutual aid - through food drives, fundraisers, and their developing Tooth Fairy Fund. It's clear how invested they are in being a valuable community resource in Prescott.

I don't even know where to start! My artist Dusty seems like one of the kindest, most honorable…read morepeople I've met not only in the tattoo industry but truly in my life. So let's start there. He was so warm, so patient, so willing to adapt, and 100% focused on making sure I was happy and comfortable with my choice without feeling guilted or pressured into making payments or a decision simply to get done with my piece. He was not at all phased or dismissive of my nervousness. He was willing to give his time to feel comfortable with the process. He allowed me the space to feel ready, he comforted me when I said I was nervous or scared, he actively consulted his beautiful wife and business partner Emily so that I had the expertise of both of them in my tattoo! He had no ego, only gentleness and an attentive ear! He spoke with respect of the previous artist and simply listened and guided me thru the additions I was considering. He understood exactly what I wanted, was honest yet respetful as we went. He allowed my best friend to sit with me throughout the process and keep my mind distracted as he created a design that I did not think was possible. I walked in rather impulsively, just curious about a modification, but truly did not think a fix was possible without a massive redo and he proved me wrong. I told him that I regretted the tattoo placement I had previously because every time I turned my forearm I cringed it how it looked. I told him I wanted simple, feminine, butterflies, and flow...I wanted a cute peakaboo that I could still enjoy out of my sleeve. I wanted the piece to look good when I twisted my arm while I drove! These are exactly what he gave me. He created something that looks perfect from every angle. I could not be more pleased. I am already consulting him on my next peace. Dusty, thank you for being you! Today, I feel the excitement and joy I hoped for when I first got started on this piece months ago. You've turned possible regret into something awesome. I am beyond grateful! I've attached photos but I'll best honest, it does NOT photograph very well ... or i haven't figured out the right angle. The piece is so dainty and beautiful in person!

Today was my second visit at Black Gold. Dusty did my last tattoo and since I was impressed not…read moreonly by his talent but also his personality, I came back to see him for something special. I came in today to get a tattoo that was significant to my brother in law, who our family lost almost a year ago. I was treated with compassion and respect by Dusty who earnestly listened to my stories about my BIL, who he was to me and why I chose the art I wanted him to do. Dusty did his magic and put his own heart and soul into the tattoo. It may have been small, but it was HUGE to me. Thank you Dusty! When you did our matching tattoo's for my niece and me, we both felt you make a connection with your clients. You are special. Thank you!

I've found a new home at this studio and I don't want to go anywhere else. Highly recommend for all your needle needs! P.S.: Delanee is the best! She is professional and super friendly and has such a steady yet painless hand whenever she's piercing. 11/10 recommend!

Looking at my tattoo, you wouldn't be able to tell it was done by someone who is still learning. It was executed fantasticly. She was very professional and the tattoo came out beautifully. It was my first time getting a tattoo and she made the whole experience a breeze. The aftercare instructions were clear and easily to follow. I was even sent home with a paper with the instructions on it in case I would forget. I followed the instructions carefully and my tattoo healed very nicely. I was also offered a free touch up If i were to need it Overall my experience was great and the quality of the tattoo was as well. I would definitely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a quality tattoo. Keep in mind she is still in the learning process, but her skills will only get better with time.

The artists have portfolios you can look through, or you can choose to have something drawn specifically for you. That's what I opted to do. I spent some time discussing my ideas and we set a time and date for me to come back. ( YAY! EXCITED! ) Second visit, and actual tattoo appointment. I was able to take a good look around the shop since I was there for over 4 hours. Shop supplies were neat and organized, overall cleanliness was very good. Keep in mind this was going to be a bit of a challenge. I had a HIDEOUS gigantor tattoo on my hip already and he was going to be working a miracle by putting something pretty on it. I felt like he took his time drawing, carefully positioning the stencil on my body and being mindful of my comfort during this lengthy process. I highly recommend Dan, and Hard Luck Tattoo!
