Me and my twin brother were in town visiting from Dallas, Texas and we wanted to get a tattoo before we head back to Dallas. The tattoo shop we wanted to go first was actually closed since they were at the Tattoo expo and since we were in the area and did our research previously, Goliath Tattoo shop was our next choice in line. When we got into the shop, everyone was so friendly and helpful, it made the tattoo experience even better. Me and my twin brother got the same tattoo on our right forearm but with different artists, below: My twin brother (blue) got tattoo by Anthony Vassalli (white shirt) and my artist was Moises Ramos (black shirt). It was honor to be tattoo by Moises and I am thankful we were able to have a great conversation during my tattoo session with him. We will definitely be back for more tattoo with these two whenever we come back in two. Thank you Goliath Tattoo shop for a memorable tattoo experience! read more

This was my first time getting tattooed here. Shop is clean and kind of tucked away with a nice vibe. This was not my first appointment with the artist though. Jack is an incredible artist on all levels. Easy to converse with, Flexible, and obviously his art work is amazing. He brought my idea to life and executed it perfectly. Glad to have found an artist that is worth following! read more

No tattoos for me, but I did have my ears pierced. The place is clean and the woman who pierced my ears, Kendra, is experienced, professional and kind!!!!! It was a drive for me, but if I ever need/want another piercing, this is my place!!! read more

Absolutely love the work Chris does! The crispiest lines I've ever encountered. I was so happy when I found out Chris was tattooing in Phoenix as she is the best artist on the East Coast. I would definitely recommend booking with her ASAP as slots can and will fill up quickly. I would not miss this opportunity. I will honestly never let anyone other than Chris tattoo me. read more

Chris Strait is an absolutely amazing tattoo artist. My family highly recommends her. She can do anything! Thank you Chris.

Uuugh I hate when I forget a name that I'm trying to remember! This is not that time Kendra...hey boo! I asked as I was leaving and was like you will not forget...lol ans here we are...now I may have spelled it wrong but none the less you know its you! 1st and foremost y'all know i love eclectic spaces that vibrate my energy and this space did just that! Yes it's a tattoo shop but its not "just "a tattoo shop... I walked in last min because I accidentally unscrewed my new piercing and cuz i got my nails did I was unable to out it back. No worries I pulled up and an unexpected surprise waited for me inside... friendly knowledgeable good energy'd Kendra! They have some super nice one of a kind pieces that will definitely make u stand out! I opted for a little purple moon (super cute)! read more

What a great experience! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I never thought I would get a tattoo but I suddenly got the fever. I did shop around, but Goliath was the only place that shared my enthusiasm for what I wanted. I had a specific design in mind and brought photos with me. Anthony was fantastic, he immediately knew what I was looking for and NAILED IT! He was patient with me and coached this nervous newbie through the process. Everyone who was in the shop that day stopped in to see how it was coming along. Very friendly and communal staff. They really make you feel genuinely welcome. Needless to say I am out of Anthony's business cards already, but I'm going by soon to pick up more! read more

First off let me say tattoo places can be very intimidating. My first impresssion from the get go was a friendly voice named jimmy who I called and asked if they accept walk ins. Then when I came in I was greeted by him and walked in and was blown away by how clean and nice it was. Jimmy did 2 of my tattoos. Then I also decided to get my Nose re-pierced and Kendra is the queen of that. It was painless and she did a great job at walking me through it. I was in and out in 30 mins and that includes both my tattoos and my piercing. Will be coming back here again for sure! Thanks guys! read more

Showed up to the friday13 flash sale. Picked out the premium 130 $ designs( 3 inches tall:)) ) , it was a skull octopus thing, not a simple design but thats the advertised price. I was planing on tipping at least 40$ st the end but then i find out shading my tattoo is a extra 20$ thats a scam no matter how you look at it, you weren't advertising outlines, you were advertising tattoos. Leave it to cheap tattoo shop owners to take a present tradition in the community(were they were making plenty of cash) . Hope not to many get scamed like this today. So happy I asked before getting anything done. read more

Found an amazing artist Jake on Instagram and saw he worked here. I went in to put down a deposit and talk about my tattoo. He was friendly and informative. I went back the next day for my tattoo and he did amazing. Better than I could have ever expected. I have gotten so many compliments on it! People have said it looks like someone just stamped a picture on me. He is such an amazing artist. I would recommend him to anyone. The shop itself is covered in gorgeous artwork and has a laid back vibe. I will definitely be back. And thanks to Jake, he did my best tattoo yet! read more

My husband took me here to get an old tattoo touched up. We met with Jason and talked about my old tattoo. Quick process for a consultation. I booked my appointment and when I came back Jason had everything ready. He took the time to describe to me what he thought would work well with my old piece. He not only made my old tattoo pop out again but added onto it and I couldn't be happier with the final piece. It's so beautiful! The colors look amazing and compliment my skin and my old tattoo. I'm excited to go back for another piece in the future. The shop is so clean and everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. I haven't had a tattoo in about 12 years and felt very welcomed and comfortable here. Thank you so much!!! read more

Ryan Mobley is fantastic! he's super friendly, talented, and has a light hand. I trust him fully to complete my sleeve and could not recommend him highly enough . The whole shop is friendly and super clean. read more

Check them out. Great customer service and great artists. Reasonable prices and super chill atmosphere

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I came in to change my nose stud to a ring and Kendra was so helpful and informative throughout the whole process! I came back another day to get my ring adjusted after I had some slight issues caused by the placing of my piercing, and her apprentice Rochelle was just as amazing!! I will definitely be coming back here for all of my piercing and jewelry needs, they are the best read more

I love this place and I have only been here two times. I got my nipples pierced last year by Kendra and she was incredible. She was so nice and comfortable to be around that any nerves I had, left right away. The studio is clean and they are set up well. Bonus points for all the beautiful crystals they have as it adds a peaceful vibe. This past weekend, I got a daith piercing by Rachelle (sorry if I messed that spelling up)and she was super fun, super bubbly and sweet. She eased my nerves and was just as thoughtful and kind as Kendra was. I had a few friends recommend the place they got their piercings done, but after their piercings were a few weeks old, they were actually crooked and did not heal well. I am so glad I didn't go the way they did and instead, I came here. I highly recommend them and will continue to go to them when looking for new work to be done read more

I love Kendra so much! She first started piercing me on my 18th birthday, three years ago. Literally she went out of her way to give me a piercing on her day off and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. She's the only person I go and even though I'm moving out of state I plan on coming back down to get pierced by her. The whole shop is super awesome. All of the staff are super sweet and respectful. I always recommend Kendra for piercings. I already live an hour away and I drive to get pierced by her. And she always makes it worth the drive. :D this shop is extremely clean and they pass the vibe check read more

I followed May May from her old studio. The environment in Goliath is much cooler and more private, with art everywhere and private rooms for each artist. I always enjoy my time both in the building and talking with her. Checkout is always easy and they ensure that your paperwork is correct and up to date. Highly recommend! read more

I'll start this off simple. Libby kicks ass. That could be enough of a review right there but hey here's more. I sent in a rough sketch of an idea for a half sleeve. I saw Libbys work and decided she was the person I wanted to do it. She took that design and turned it into an absolutely stunning piece of work! 10/10 experience here and will continue to come here for all future tattoos. read more

I went in to originally get a quote on two pieces. Lana was the artist that spoke with me and was able to draw my logo on me. Let me just say, her black work is wicked amazing! I cannot wait to get my other piece drawn from her.. What I like most was her willingness, honesty, and very personable. She made sure I was comfortable with her drawing, comfortable on how I was sitting, and just a welcoming vibe. Totally recommend Lana for a great experience while she's drawing on you. The place itself is very clean (which for me is an absolute must be clean), those that poked their heads in to chat for a minute were very cool and gave me the impression of being laid back. That's another plus for me too. read more

So my wedding ring was a disturbance in my line of work. Not a fan of rubber rings or other types so.... I decided to get a tattoo ring of my wife and I zodiacs. Aaron a.k.a Uncle Ron is cool as fuck! Made it chill and we were chit chatting as he tattooed away. The art in this place is amazing!!!! I wish I could purchase some of the original paintings. Everyone here seems very friendly. I'm definitely coming back in December for my other tattoo. If your hesitant don't be! This place is phenomenal! read more

I went in today (last minute) for a double high nostril piercing and Kendra got me and my best friend right in. From the beginning she was friendly and personable and answered our questions regarding jewelry and pricing. Their prices are more than fair and include a nice variety of jewelry. She really took her time to make sure my piercings would be even and lay flat against my nose. I really appreciated the fact that she took suggestions on placement from me and my friend. She was so nice throughout the whole process even though I kept having her redo the the placement. She made sure my piercing flattered the anatomy of my face and was to my satisfaction. She walks you through everything she is doing while piercing you which really helps you relax. It doesn't hurt that she had a nice calming voice for that . My experience here was great! Kendra was great! My best friends double nostril piercing also turned out great and we were both really happy when we left. The ONLY downfall, and it's a small one was that the jewelry I picked out was much smaller than the ones I ended up with. I had picked out a very small dainty little opal and what I was pierced with was much bigger and bulkier so I will be going in to see if there was a miscommunication on what I had picked out. That was the only negative thing and I'm sure it's an easy fix if I was pierced with the wrong jewelry. read more

UPDATE!!...A few weeks ago I was scheduled to get a tattoo done, but it never happened. My original review below explains why. Now back to my update. At the time when this happened I spoke with a girl that works the front desk and told her that I wanted my deposit that I paid towards my tattoo refunded since this situation wasn't my fault. She said she would have to talk to the owner of the shop and get his approval since they don't normally do refunds. So a couple hours later I received a call back and she explained that she spoke with the owner and that he would allow the refund because of the situation and the fact that his shop was at fault. She then told me that she would begin processing my refund immediately. Its been almost three weeks and I still haven't received my refund. Seriously!!! it doesn't take this long to refund someone's money. F**k goliath tattoo!!! I came in from out of state to visit friends here in AZ and me and my friend had plans to get tattoos at goliath. I scheduled my appointment just over a month in advance and the day of my appointment I found out that the artist I chose didn't show up to work because the artist thought I no longer wanted the tattoo even though I paid money down, sent all of my ideas of what I wanted and my appointment was still on their schedule. Seriously WTF..... if I didn't want the tattoo I would have canceled the appointment. So then we were told the artist would be back the next day and given the option to come back the next day, but because my friend had to work the next day we couldn't reschedule for that day. It was frustrating because we were already driving to the shop when we found this out and it was over an hour drive to the tattoo shop from my friends house. I also explained to them that this was my only time I had available to get the tattoo done before I fly back to Missouri. So my friend and I said "fuck it" and drove back home since the artist wasn't there. Don't waste your time with these people. read more

Seth did my tattoos. My most recent is my husbands hand written note. Love his work. I decided to get pierced couple weeks later (septum & nips) Kendra was amazing. She explained everything step by step. Everything went awesome! read more

Came in bc I had nipple rings that were pierced incorrectly by another shop about two years ago & were still getting infected. Kendra explained to me in great detail on why this was happening and directed me to the correct barbells I should've had, & even gave me special barbell for one of them for a few weeks to help one of them heal. She changed them out and gave me the proper cleaning solution to clean them out with. She was definitely super knowledgable. Before I came to this shop I went to another shop that was just trying to sell me on these "special" barbells that's probably would've kept my piercing in the same state. Would recommend this place to anyone wants a new piecing or needs some honesty on incorrectly pierced piercings! read more

Can't get better. I've been following my tattoo artist around for a couple of years so I stopped in yesterday for another one. Cool place! Filled with cool Caravaggio style artwork all over the walls and the individual rooms are all semi private which is nice. May May has done all of my tattoos (all 2 of them) at this point and I've been nothing but thrilled with her work. She throws her entire soul into her work and it shows. My first tattoo was a big peacock chest piece and has held up beautifully over the last couple of years, and this one looks like it will follow the pattern. The newest one is a rose in this realistic style and even half done it's gotten a ton of compliments. Would not hesitate to recommend this shop and especially this artist to anyone. read more

For a spontaneous piercing adventure, Kendra made the entire process smoooth and comfortable. I changed my mind a few times and she was more than happy to adjust! She showed me all of the different placements I was pondering over to help me decide which I felt most passionate about. I went in myself and Kendra's bubbly personality made the whole experience feel as if I came in with a friend. left with something different than I went in for and I am extremely happy with the piercings I am walking away with! I would absolutely recommend heading this way for any piercings, and also to admire the beautiful artwork and crystals!! read more

I came here to get my nose pierced about a couple months ago and I ended up coming at a time where the piercer had just stepped out and I only had to wait maybe 20 minutes until she came back but since I waited they gave me a $10 off coupon that I can use multiple times and I absolutely loved it there! I definitely recommend Kendra she is so good at what she does. read more

Goliath Tattoo is the best tattoo shop I have ever been in. The inside is absolutely stunning with the oil paintings and greek theme decor. I can't speak highly enough about the staff and artists. Extremely friendly and fun to be around. Lana Bray is my tattoo artist and her talent surpasses most I have seen. I highly recommend Goliath Tattoo in Phoenix, AZ over and other place in the valley. read more

Clean, professional, very diligent about following all rules around minors. Took daughter and niece to get ears pierced for the first time. Kendra did a fabulous job educating the girls about caring for their new piercing. She was kind and fun. They left having had a great experience. read more

Jason did a great job on my tattoo. He is one of the best artist I have seen. The shop is very clean and the quality is the best in town.

Amazing piercer, Kendra! She walked me through every step, and was extremely honest about what she was doing. Also right off the highway!

Jason is the greatest!! He did 2 tattoos for me and 1 was a cover up. Everywhere I go people love them. The detail is amazing!! I always tell them how fantastic he is both in his artistry and his personality No one else will EVER tattoo me except him. No need to look for a better artist because he IS the best!
