I love this shop! All of the artists are extremely talented and full of personality. I got a piece across my shoulders a couple years ago from a guest artist there, and had wanted to go back ever since. I recently met up with Chipp and asked him to design a phoenix for me. I went in on Friday last week and started the piece. Not only did Chipp do an amazing design, he made the entire experience fun for me. Carlos, Dyonna, Rod, Chipp, everyone in the shop was amazing. My husband has had Rod tattoo him before, and is going back for another piece. We've both referred multiple friends who are also ecstatic with the tattoos they've gotten here. I can't say enough about this place. Talented, professional, fun... Just an all-around A+++ experience and I can't wait to go back for more. read more

This place is amazing! I had Rod as my tattoist. He is really really good. I have people asking about my work all the time and I gladly point them in the direction of these guys. Ill telly you pay what you get for tho. 120 and hr for Rod and I am not sure about the other. I believe he goes by size not time. But this is soooo well worth it. I hope i brought a bit of business to you guys! read more

The best Tattoo shop in the state! Took my son to see Carlos for a tattoo. He was referred to us from a dear friend who had amazing work done from him. Carlos is professional, extremely talented, an amazing artist & his shop was clean & a fun place to spend the hour. His wife, Dyonna who also works there is spectacular! Super sweet & made us feel at home! The level of service they provided was beyond five stars & most importantly the tattoo Carlos crafted was beyond perfect. My son left so happy & his tattoo is a beautiful piece of art ! If anyone is in need of a tattoo, this is the place to go - without a doubt!!! read more

Carlos is an amazingly talented artist. His work is skill is simply awe inspiring. DYonna is fantastic as well! I just LOVE this shop. I am constantly being complimented on my back piece that Carlos has been working on with me. I couldn't recommend this shop any higher! read more

Dane at Disciple Tattoo was top notch. My wife got a Awesome Custom Tattoo on her foot and I got my first ever Tattoo of a cross on my arm. He stayed late, was very patient and we will be back for more! read more

Carlos was recommended to me for my first tattoo (at age 56) by my nephews. He and his staff were so professional and courteous, I was pleasantly surprised. Gave him creative freedom with my design and I always get compliments on it. I love it. Totally recommend this place to all Zonies. read more

Super stoked on my tattoo! I had a tattoo that needed a fix (done at another shop out of state ) I walked in and was helped by Scott. 5 stars ! Friendly, clean and welcoming. Thanks guys !!! Love it ! read more

If small business ink shops were judged on skill alone, this shop would receive a great rating. Unfortunately for Disciple Tattoo, they require more than just skill to draw clientele. Their customer service is awful...they are often not in shop when they claim they will be (I had to make two trips to verify the art, because the original date and time I was given was forgotten by everyone. I arrived to a closed shop-despite arriving within posted hours of operation-no apology was issued, despite my inconvenience [hindsight: I should have let that be enough of a deciding factor....but I was drawn to the art, nonetheless]). In addition, the art I asked for and what I received were not the same-and no discussion regarding changes took place prior to the ink being laid. To add insult to injury, full price was charged. (Higher than other shops pumping out similar work, by the way). Despite seeing some tragic ink laid in other shops...I would still recommend potential clients to seek ink elsewhere, invest better research into the kind of shops you want to support and artists who value their clientele. Disciple Tattoo is definitely not one of those shops. In addition to horrible service, the business ethic of the shop supports homophobic slurs and misogynistic behavior. I would not recommend this shop to individuals concerned about a comfortable environment for all peoples. Only to the ones who find slurs and bias as credible business conduct. *Recently an offensive post to Disciple Tattoo's social media website was brought to their attention, in a rather civil and non-insulting way (basically, they were told it was not appreciated and continuation would result in lost support from followers)....The response from the owner states: "You must not have paid any attention when you were in the shop. And if you are offended. We don't want you in our shop anyway. So lighten up!" Prior to that comment, friends and family had spent over a thousand dollars with Disciple. They just don't value the opinion of anyone who doesn't agree with them, regardless of how much money their patrons spend there. Do yourself a favor...go to shop that won't care what your opinion is...but will still treat you with respect and decency. Choose a shop that doesn't place it's clientele in a situation that is uncomfortable and awkward. It's the least a small business ink shop should do anyway. read more

Enjoyed my time and company last night at Disciple Tattoo, in Chandler Arizona. I absolutely love my new piece. Dane was my artist last night and he rocked it! Gold star for not making me cry! read more

Just spent the majority of yesterday afternoon at Disciple Tattoo, getting my 1st tattoo. The experience was awesome and quite entertaining. From my 1st inquiry visit a month ago with DYonna, telling me about the lengths they go to in hygiene and reviewing my thoughts on my tattoo, to the final check out yesterday, telling me how to take care of my tattoo, everything was exceptional and completely explained. Carlos did a great job working with me for over an hour just designing the tattoo realizing how important it was, as it is a memorial tattoo for my daughter who passed in 2009. The tattooing, while not fun was no where near as bad as I imagined, I'd rather have a tattoo than almost any dental work. The best part is the tattoo is beautiful and will remind me daily of my wonderful daughter who I miss very badly. Thanks Carlos, Dyonna and the whole Disciple team...."You Guys Rock" read more

I've been tattooed in this shop twice. Once by Carlos and once by Rod. My second tattoo was scheduled with Carlos but he had to go out of town. Dyonna called me to let me know and asked if I would let Rod do the work. I was a little hesitant but Dyonna reassured me Rod would be great. I agreed to work with Rod and I couldn't be happier with the work. Any artist in this shop is worth their weight in gold. read more

Thanks Carlos, you made it very easy for my daughter, And I appreciate it thanks for squeezing my daughter in today.

Had a Portrait tattoo done by Owner Carlos Rubio , I recommend him to you ! Great portraits and Black & White artist !!

This place is cash only and has a $100 minimum don't go here if you want a small tattoo. We called at 630 to get a 8 pm appointment and didn't get in until 1015. read more

Dane was amazing! Extremely professional and great work! I love my new tattoo! Super clean work! I will most definitely be back to get a tattoo from him! read more

Had a tattoo done by Dane and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Clean shop and great guy!! Will be back for more

If I could give 10 stars I would. My wife and I went to see Dane for some new tats and he killed it! He took our ideas, added his influence and created perfection. We couldn't be happier. read more

I have seen some work from this shop that I really liked so I thought I'd check it out for myself. I made an appointment to have Dane do a black and grey American flag on my forearm. When the day came I went in and had no problems explaining to Dane what was looking for. He gave me great artistic advice and we found something that I seriously liked. I was concerned on how it would fit my arm around another tattoo I already had on my arm but Dane made it a perfect fit. Dane and I sat down for our artistic journey and we had some great conversations and listened to some great music. Before you know it 3.5 hours flew by and my tattoo was done. Wen I got to see the final view of my tattoo I was blown away on how real it looked. Dane gave me the best tattoo and tattoo experience I've had to date and I have dozens. As if the whole experience wasn't enough to make me extremely happy, Dane called the next night to make sure the healing process was starting well. This tattoo is also healing much better than any of my others too. I have gotten dozens of compliments on the tattoo and I give everyone Disciple tattoo's shop info and Dane's name. Just for the record Dane is the man! Thanks for the great art work Brother! I read more

Dane did a wonderful job on tattooing my hand. Highly recommended I even had my sister in law and niece get some work done when they came from out of town. Dane was able to take them as walking that day. Thanks again guys. read more

Got my first tattoo at Disciple. Dane did an amazing job and was incredibly professional and accommodating of all my asinine rookie questions. I will definitely be back in the future. read more

Had my own Hawaii given to me by Dane today, he did an amazing job! I absolutely love my piece! I will be back and will certainly recommend him! read more

I have had 4 large tattooes done by Rod here, I love them all and have gotten many compliments. I recommend him to everyone. Sometimes you have to wait for a appointment but that's not a bad thing. It means the artist is busy. If he wasn't ever busy then you better be worried. read more

I absolutely love getting ink done here. Both Dane and Carlos are very talented in their own styles. Their clean lines and detail is outstanding. My boyfriend has three pieces done by Carlos which all look spectacular. I have two pieces by Dane (my very first tattoo, the experience got me hooked. lol.), and a portrait of my cat by Carlos. All of the ink I've gotten here are my favorite pieces on my body. Dyvonna, Carlos's wife, is really nice and hilarious. After being alongside Carlos for as long as she has I think she has a really broadened knowledge on tattooing as well. She gives really great input and advice, honesty is something I really value in an artist. They really make you feel comfortable and welcome. They always are clean with their equipment and my boyfriend and I have never had any issues with the healing process unlike another tattoo shop we went to. This place is definitely our favorite, you will not regret getting work done here I can assure you. The cost may be more pricey than other shops, but you really get what you pay for essentially. read more

I saw Dane on Monday for a coverup of a coverup. What I needed him to work with was a small dark, blurry flower coming out of what looked like an upside down black top hat. I had sported this embarrassment for almost 8 years. It was just behind the outside of my left ankle bone, about 3!" I brought him a photo of what I wanted: a dragon. and he worked with me and explained to me what would and wouldn't work. And why. Something no other tattooist has ever offered. It was a challenging tattoo. A lot of detail in a small area. But Dane CRUSHED IT! I couldn't be happier with it, and am proud to wear this artwork on my body. I will be recommending him, as well the shop in general, to everyone who will listen. Such amazing, professional, true artists. read more

See all

Dane from Disciple did a very detailed piece on my arm that came out better than I thought possible. When I first looked through the artists' portfolios at Disciple, I wasn't sure which one to pick. They're all incredibly talented. I will recommend Disciple Tattoo to anyone that ever wants good work done. Check out there work and you'll see why Disciple is the best shop in AZ. http://www.lxix.com/Artist.html read more

I was referred to Disciple by a friend, and I'm so glad I listened! Dane was great. I got a new piece, and he did an amazing job touching up something that if had done somewhere else that didn't look too great. I will definitely be going back! read more

Amazing artists here! All expectations were exceeded. Very professional, clean, and great customer service.

I am thrilled with the tattoo Dane at Disciple Tattoo did for me. I had a disappointing tattoo done last year in Canada and Dane made it into something amazingly beautiful. I will not go anywhere else in the future. Thank you, Dane. read more

I just wanted to put a shout out to Rod who did my tattoo yesterday. My dad had drawn me a beautiful piece of artwork that I always wanted to have on me. Rod not only made that happen, he made it flawless. Perfect shading and values - I couldn't be happier. What a great artist! Thanks again - Ian read more

Warning...a long read...but worth reading! If you are getting your first tattoo...Don't Go Here! I've spent 49 years of my life trying to overcome the worst personal struggles you can throw at a person and yet with the love and support of family and friends, I'm still standing, still fighting. Tattoos have a lot of meeting to people and it is something I had thought about for a while. I interviewed a number of artists and studios because this tattoo was really the crown jewel for a person who has overcome so many obstacles. When I met Carlos and his wife Dyonna, and they heard a little about my story, I felt connected to them and that they would deliver something very special for me. I had a great feeling about them and that they were different from the other studios I had interviewed. I visited their studio back in July and was told it would be approximately three months before I could get in to have the work done with Carlos. I was also told that a couple weeks prior to spending "all day" in the chair, they would reach out and begin working with me on the design which was to include a large piece on my chest, shoulder/short sleeve, and part of my ribs. Two weeks prior to my appointment, I heard nothing, so I sent a very detailed email about my background, sample artwork and a song I had written that was to be incorporated into this very personal piece. I never got a response to the email. Nothing. I went to the shop last week on Tuesday September 20th and met Carlos and discussed again what I was looking for (he hadn't read the email..albeit it was a rather long email). He told me he would look at it and have artwork for me the following Friday, September 23rd, and he would email it since I travel a lot. Friday came and went and I heard nothing. I sent a follow-up email on Monday letting them know that I would need to switch shoulders because of some impending surgery from a recent sports injury. An associate told me he would be on Tuesday, September 27th. So I stopped in on Tuesday and was told that he wouldn't be in now until Wednesday. I sent another email concerned that it was two days prior to my appointment and to confirm that I needed to switch to the other shoulder and again, no response and no artwork. I never heard anything back. So two days prior to my appointment I called again to inquire why I hadn't seen any artwork and was told by Dyonna that they might need more time? Time? I had made the appointment three months prior. They had artwork and ideas two weeks before the appointment and I made myself available multiple times with no success. Dyonna told me she would check with Carlos and get back with me. I got a call back from Dyonna later on Wednesaday and was told to still come in for my appointment as Carlos would be ready by Friday, September 30th. He had read my email and was working on something special. I also reminded them I needed to make sure they switched shoulders. I'm a very busy person and it takes an act of congress for me to get a day off. I arrived September 30th as instructed to find a nice partial design for part of the tattoo but Carlos indicated he really wanted more time as the drawing, although nice, was very incomplete and only represented a portion of the work to be done. Why had I taken an entire day off for him to tell me he needed more time...it has only been three months in the making? I had taken the day off and was fully prepared to have my work done. I shaved my chest, had brought music, books, everything to make it through a long day of tattooing...but unfortunately I was really discouraged by the lack of preparation after I had put in so much effort to make my first tattoo meaningful. Dyonna indicated it was because I had switched shoulders and implied Carlos had been working on the design a long time. I later learned this wasn't true as Carlos hadn't started the design until 48 hours prior to the appointment which he told me himself. The other excuse I got was "well we were on vacation for five days" which to me means nothing. I booked this appointment over three months ago. This is on you. Carlos did make an effort to try and reschedule me, but the reality was I had a specific date set aside and have a traveling schedule that wouldn't allow me to be back in there for another month or two. I returned later that day to get my deposit back and was told by his wife Dyonna that they are non refundable despite their lack of preparation. She also made rude and demeaning comments. Carlos called back later that afternoon to apologize and to try and get me to change my mind, but after being so unprepared and then treated rudely by his wife I simply said no. Update 7/20/17 Dyonna's unprofessional response is typical of this establishment. Perhaps I should publish the threatening text messages from Carlos I have saved stating you would not publish personal information if I removed this review? Pathetic! read more

Got my first tattoo here, marvelous experience! It was done by Rob Whitesinger, and was a lightly accented black and grey image of the elfin character on the Jethro Tull, Beast and Broadsword album cover, and covers the right upper arm from shoulder to an inch above the elbow, with just a small amount , (the cape ends), going around the arm. Rod told me this style wasn't his forte', and no one had ever asked for this image, in spite of that he not did an INCREDIBLE job, but did his utmost to make me feel comfortable. Every modification I asked for was executed flawlessly! Rod has pictures, I highly recommend you stop in and check out everyone's work in this shop. Thanks Rod, I love it . And yes I am a customer, and I'm having the other arm done this week. Thanks Rod for not only an insanely great tattoo, but a fantastic first experience. read more

I was in the tattoo shop at the same time as the user who made the distasteful comment about Carlos, but as a witness, I found Carlos to be very respectful and humble. Additionally, I witnessed this adolescent girl to be extremely and overly aggressive and unreasonable. Carlos and all of the other artists at Disciple Tattoo do an amazing job and I have been very pleased with their art and customer service. Best tattoo shop in Arizona! This is as good as it gets people! read more

Had a great experience with a tattoo from Scott today. Very kind artist with precise lines. Thanks!
