i called this studio after getting my first tattoo out of state. while my artist was great and i specifically traveled to see her, she didn't realize this was my first tattoo and she spoke with a heavy accent so i was really unclear on aftercare instructions. so i called this studio while my second skin was rolling up under my shorts and with ink dripping down my leg. i had a really nice conversation with the guy who answered the phone. i want to say his name was cory but maybe i am totally wrong here given this was about two months ago. but he basically told me that they only really perform aftercare on tattoos that they produced and that they don't /sell/ the aftercare products (like it's given for free as apart of your tattoo appointment) but he apologized (which, no need) and then advised me on where i could get the stuff on my own. he gave me specific brand names for amazon or cvs and then he explained how it was normal for plasma and ink to leak out and just to wash my tattoo gently, pat it dry, and then the importance of keeping it moisturized. he talked to me for 5 minutes, but made me feel way better. the professional kindness i experienced with this studio was totally enough for me to start dreaming up my second tattoo. read more

I got a tattoo done today and I absolutely loved the way it looked. Chris did and amazing job and made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. I already had an idea about the size and placement but he gave me the advice to make it a bit bigger to really make the tattoo look better and I'm glad I took his advice. He made sure to take the time to ensure proper placement. The shop itself is very clean and had a very chill vibe. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo. The entire staff is very helpful and friendly. Prices are reasonable, especially since I wanted to make sure I got quality work done, I am willing to pay for it. Will be coming back for sure. Again, shot out to Chris for the amazing job he did and look forward to having him do more tattoos for me. read more

On March 12th I came in for my very first tattoo! Everyone that works there is very nice and welcoming. My artist was Bucky and he was extremely knowledgeable and talented. He did an amazing job! I will definitely go back to Classic Tattoo for my next one! read more

Just an update. I heard they are accepting any form of payment now! First off, bring cash...even though Yelp says they accept cc. The guys here are super nice and squeezed me in between appointments. Other than reading Yelp reviews, I didn't do much research about the place or artists...since I was running on lazy day spontaneity. A lot of people say "do your research" and "make sure you look at his/her work" before you make an appointment. When talking to one of the guys there, I got a sense that this wasn't the type of tattoo they were used to, but that didn't stop me. I figure if you're in this field, you're talented. Bill saw me right away and gave me a quote $100-120. It took about an hour and I absolutely love it; clean lines, rich colour, great free hand detail. It's been a few days now and it's starting to heal nicely too. Thanks again, Bill. When my next design is finished, I'll definitely be back. :) read more

Updated review: I now have 5 tattoos from classic and this shop never fails to amaze me. Bucky always gets me right. Everyone is super chill over here and welcoming. Give em a shot, you wont regret it! read more

I recently got my nose piercing done here and had such a great experience. I was honestly a little nervous going in, but the piercer named seleina made me feel so comfortable from the start. She was very gentle,patient, and explained everything clearly before beginning. The process was quick,clean and way less painful than I expected. Definitely recommend! read more

My husband and I went to get wedding band tats. His was just a straight line and mine was the same with just a single line heart added to it. No color or shading. I like my tattoo but I thought that $240 was kinda high for what we got. People were nice. The artist was gentle with me since it was my first tattoo. My husband has other tattoos and he thought the price was high also. read more

They were super helpful when I first called and when my sister and I showed up for the appointment they were quick to help us and get the idea of what we wanted. The shop was clean and I felt very comfortable being there. We both got seen within a few mins and the guys who took care of us were nice and polite. It was my sisters first tattoo and she was so happy with how it turned out. read more

Got a tattoo here about a month ago and I had such an amazing experience! Been trying to find a place I felt comfortable enough to start getting tattoos at. From when I called in to getting the actual tattoo, I felt a good vibe and was comfortable! I was tattooed by isaac and he was super kind! Met the owner and he was also super friendly! Would absolutely recommend! read more

I had an idea for my first tattoo. I emailed Classic Tattoo about the type and placement of the tattoo I was envisioning, and they let me know that parts of the tattoo would fade out and age poorly. The response that I received offered helpful information and left the communication with an offer to help with any other questions I may have, or ideas about design and placement. This kind of response with zero sales pressure really shows me that Classic Tattoo cares about the results their clients receive and aren't focused on just getting money but show real care for their customers (even if it means missing out on a job). read more

Natasha did an incredible job with her Charmed collection! I had a hard time choosing just a few charms because they were all so cute! She's not only super talented but also very sweet and professional--she helped me figure out the perfect placement for my tattoo and made the whole session enjoyable with great conversation. The tattoo turned out super clean, and I've already received so many compliments, even though I haven't even taken the second skin off yet! I can't recommend her enough--10/10. I'll definitely be back for my next tattoo! :) read more

I got a mother/daughter tattoo and both tattoos are perfect! We couldn't be happier! Jose was the artist and he was chill, friendly, and made sure we were 100% happy with the drawing prior to beginning our tattoos. We didn't have to wait long and the whole process was very pleasant from start to finish. I will be going back a second time to get another tattoo with Jose. The experience was perfect! read more

Had an amazing experience at this shop and will be going back! The whole shop had a cool atmosphere and all the artists had a great vibe. The shop minimum isn't absurd and the artist gave me a totally fair price for the masterpiece he gave me! I got a beautiful black and gray rose from Isaac Olivarria and he absolutely killed it. What a technician! Can't wait for my next one from him. read more

Amazing experience 10/10 I love the ambience, everyone was so kind. All the artists here are so passionate about their craft and it shows. I had my appointment with Natasha and she was so accommodating and sweet and gave me exactly what I wanted!! so happy I came here read more

Okay so we were those idiots that got a tattoo on a whim after we were feeling sentimental. I literally picked a style I found online and just went with it. A yelp search later brought us to Claasic Tattoo and it did not disappoint! The 4 of us just walked in said what we wanted and it was the best experience we've had! The music, the vibe of the shop, even all the artists were on point. Not only were they all unbelievably talented, but they all had amazing personalities and such a blast to chat with! Stob by...even if it's to check out the shop, it's worth it. And huge shout out to my artist Bryan B.! You're the real MVP!! read more

I can't review them enough to tell you how much I respect and trust this tattoo shop. I wish I would have gotten all of my tattoos here, but I did get 3 of them done at Classic and planning for more eventually. I'm updating my review because we just went to Classic to get my boyfriend his first tattoo. His mom just passed away and he wanted to get something to remember her and keep her with him. I roughed out a sketch of what we wanted and the shop looked at what we had and suggested Gabe, they were not wrong. He did an AMAZING JOB working with what we gave him and came up with the perfect piece. We posted it on social media and received so many compliments. Gabe is also a pretty damn cool dude too. We appreciate him. Much respect, man. We wanted the Arizona Cardinals logo, the river, puzzle pieces, yard sale sign (lol) and a Jack playing card (she was a video poker addict and also her name started with a J). It is simply perfection. Clean shop, respectful and talented artists, prices within reach, plus a chill vibe. Definitely turn to Classic first before going anywhere else. I know I always will.... from my first one back in 1989 to my more recent pieces. Solid shop. Thank you!! Especially a huge kudos to Gabe for this last one! read more

They accommodated all 4 of us as walk-ins and we were done in no time! Everyone was very professional and it was very clean. The vibe was amazing, calm and so retro that we felt at ease. I am definitely going back for another one! FYI - minimum is $100 but so worth it! Thank you to Miles and the whole Classic family for an amazing job well done! read more
