MAY MAY is your go to Girl! Go get your fine line work done w/ her! She made the walk in experience 10/10!

Jason was awesome, great guy and obviously a great artist... This was my first tattoo I've had, got it for my wife of nearly 30 years and it came out great. I picked this place after looking at a bunch of others, their work seemed more dynamic and crisp overall and I was definitely not disappointed. Love the motif they have as well, really cool... Would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could!

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Tattoos are cool So, I got two! This is the only place where I have two pieces from- both from the owner of Inkenstein, jason. One was about 4-5 years ago and the second was this past summer, which I also got my first touched up at that time. Since my first one, he has moved into a larger studio in downtown Glendale. Clean and spacious with a comfortable waiting area. I had ease in scheduling, usually email or text and have been happy with both of my pieces! I sent in my inspo or ideas and he created both pieces on the spot. Overall, definitely recommend. I haven't worked with any other of his artists, but would definitely go back or send friends and/or family there!

Inspiration picture of the portrait I wanted a tattoo of.
Heather A.

Visiting Phoenix for 6 days and the last 3 days I decided I wanted to get a portrait tattoo of my dog that passed away in 2021. I knew it was a long shot to try and get a talented artist to fit me in with such little time and notice. Jason responded to my request almost immediately and consulted with me via text. He was able to fit me in at 10am the next morning. His attention to detail and precise work is absolutely amazing - I couldn't be more happier with his work and professionalism. Overall an exceptionally talented artist!

Jason is absolutely AMAZING! Thank you so much for the ink. The shop is so clean, with a great atmosphere.

Want a tattoo? Thinking about a tattoo? Want the best tattoo artist as well as a safe clean (covid free) environment? Then go to Inkenstein Tattoo!! Jason is a tattoo wizard; he is a no nonsense kind of business man/artist who does nothing but quality work. My fiancé and I had been thinking about getting new ink for a long time and have searched high and low for which artist we wanted to go with. We saw Jason's bumper sticker and decided to look him up on his website...woah baby! His work blew us away!!! He is tremendously talented and has quite an impressive portfolio. We knew right away he was our guy. We made an appointment and when the day came we headed to the shop. The shop itself is a small bad ass little place in Glendale; it is immaculately clean and makes you feel comfortable about what you're about to do right away . Due to covid Jason only lets one person in at a time with a mask on and temp check (which is greatly appreciated)...so...while my fiancé got his Phoenix tattoo I roamed the antique shops and hung out until it was my turn. Jason finished the Phoenix tat and it was better than we had even envisioned it. Flawless lines, shading, and capturing of the concept and character. Mine were much easier (and less painful); I got my parents writing of "love" on each of my wrists. I was nervous that it might not come out exactly like their penmanship, but once again Jason did not disappoint! Each version of "love" is the perfect replica of their handwriting and is so meaningful to me Not only is Inkenstein Tattoo a professional, clean, quality shop, but the prices are reasonable as well. I cannot recommend Jason and Inkenstein enough; if you're in the market for some ink don't go to anyone else...this is a lifelong decision after all! My fiancé and I are already planning our next visit

First Tattoo
Garrett M.

First and foremost I would like to say that this was my first tattoo, Garrett was my tattoo artist and I was blown away at the quality of the tattoo, it came out exactly as I envisioned, I highly recommend getting your tattoo here.

Mythosaur skull
Theresa R.

Tori did an awesome job! I originally came in with flat black image of the Mythosaur skull. Basically an image you could get off of Google images. She had the idea to make it more realistic looking, with the red streaks free handed. It turned out better than I expected. Tori is still under an apprenticeship but her artwork and tattoos are expert level material. My only issue was that I didn't know the shop was cash only. I only had 1 credit card with me. Luckily Tori took PayPal. I will definitely be back!

I went and got an arm / chest piece by Mikayla and I will ABSOLUTELY be back to get more work done by her. She was AMAZING. So friendly and patient. She gave me exactly what I asked for and made it even better. I love my new tattoo and I'm so glad my husband and I both now have an artist out here in Arizona we can go to for quality work. The shop was also super clean and a chill / comfortable environment. 10/10

Tattoo

My artist was pelon and it was my first tattoo I couldn't be happier I was a little nervous and excited. He made me feel very comfortable he was a amazing person to talk to, had dope ass story's we had awesome conversations and very personal. Very happy with how the tattoo came out amazing place to go too!!

My shiva tattoo
Jenn B.

This studio is extremely clean and well run. I've had two tattoos done by Chris Bailey who is a phenomenal artist. His use of color and shading is impressive. Several friends and coworkers have all had work done by Chris, and all of them have been happy with his work and at least a few returned for more work by Chris. Chris is very professional and nice. He will respond and talk to you if you talk to him, but often he seems to be concentrating on the work, which given that it's permanent seems preferable to me versus small talk. I would not get a tattoo anywhere else. I have seen Jason's work also, and I would recommend him as well though I have only worked with Chris. This shop is clean and high quality. Five star work, service, quality and cleanliness.

Kristen A.

Highly recommend! Everyone at this shop is amazing. The owner Jason was very responsive. He quickly got back to me; answering all of my questions and putting me in contact with the perfect artist for me, Jamie Dove. Jamie is a very talented artist. I couldn't be happier with how my tattoo turned out. He is also very responsive and reliable. His creativity and attention to detail are outstanding. I can't wait to return for more!

Brian B.

Two awesome experiences with Jason Ballard at Inkenstein. Two weeks ago my girlfriend got a tattoo from him on her back. After seeing how her's turned out and talking with him I decided I'd get my next work done through him. I sent him the pieces I wanted and told him the style and he came through amazing! Very happy with Jason and he'll be getting my work going forward!

Faded tattoo.

Ask the Community - Inkenstein Tattoo Company

I apologize in advance for any disrespect. Do your artists know how to draw and be open-minded? I am not an artist and can't draw anything more than a stick figure. So I give alot of artist freedom to bring my idea to life and be somewhat unique.

Yes! We are all capable artist as everyone should be in this industry.

You guys require ID?

Yes we do.

Do i still have to wear a mask? Also are you allowing another person in the shop during the appointment?

Mask are not required. Friends can come with but only one at a time in the work area. We do have a large lobby if there are multiple people with you.

Do you guys do inner lip tattoos?

We have done a few yes. They don't always stay great so these are a bit of a crap shoot.

Are you still tattooing 16-17 year old with parental consent, or is that cancelled due to the pandemic?

Although we can legally we only tattoo over the age of 18 here.

Can you guys do a cover up tattoo?

We do tattoo cover ups all the time. Of course if it's possible depends on what you already have. Clearly the older and more faded that easier the cover up. Check out our portfolios on the website. Whichever artist you would like to work with shoot… Read more

Is the shop minimum still $60?

*as of Oct. 2020 shop minimum is $70

Do you guys do walk-in's?

We will do a walk in just as long as an artist is available. This is not always the case so calling ahead is always a good idea.

What's the shop minimum?

$70

Who's the best at doing rib tattoos?

No one specifically for doing ribs. Better to look for someone good at a particular style or subject rather than body part. You can see our portfolios at www.inkensteintattoo.com

Is there anyways to send you a pic of the art work and where the placement is then get a rough estimate of cost?

They charge by the hour. So depends how long it takes them. . I did same thing and they very helpful. Mine was small so I paid min (I contacted them sent a photo)

Do you guys do piercings there also?

No sorry we don't, tattoos only. We are listed as Tattoo/piercing on everything but that is the only category they will give a tattoo shop so it causes confusion.

Hello. I have a couple of questions. Do you tattoo minors with parental consent (16yo)? How early should I make my appointment if it's a matching tattoo for 3 people? Is there anyway I can't send a picture for a price estimate?

We will tattoo over 16 years of age with both parents consent and all parties must present a state issue ID if names no longer match a birth certificate will be required. We only allow one parents consent if they have sole custody. Yes you can send… Read more

I would like "a flower doesn't compete with the flower next to it, it just blooms" along my spine in very small text. What is your estimate for this? and how long of a period of time do you think it would be?

Been wanting to do a cover up with a colorful marvel character scene, half sleeve (able to continue with full sleeve if I wanted). It's a big piece to cover on upper arm. Any estimate pricing for cover ups?

He told me what would look best and checked up on me during the entire tattoo to make sure i was still doing okay. The work is very clean and they charge accordingly. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a new artist!

I highly recommend Torin for any piercing you need - he is certified and very precise on placing…read moreyour piercing. He also has excellent knowledge on what is even possible based on your ear anatom. Old West has a little room with a professional medical table/seat for piercings. I wanted a certain orbital but he said not only is my ear not as pronounced there, it's a very complex healing process. Luckily I had already researched Old West & liked another orbital picture they posted to Yelp so that one was my second choice & Torin was all over it! He measured & placed it PERFECTLY. Plus I got a flat piercing & he placed that perfectly as well in comparison to my other piercings. His commitment to health & safety is unmatched & both piercing are healing so well with the saline solution I bought from Old West. I came back exactly a month to get the shorter post needed for my flat and it was just such a pleasure to show Torin how great they both look! Each time I was in there were multiple people getting tats and the piercings are like back-to-back so this is definitely a go-to place for both. Thank you Torin & Old West! Pic is exactly one month from the flat & side orbital piercing - orbital is 16g 10mm ring & flat is 14g bezel Swarovski crystal, both purchased from Old West.

I went to this shop after being turned away from another since they had too many people before…read moreclosing time. I was pretty determined to get these piercings done since I wanted these badly. Saw this shop was open and the first impression was already great -- they were very nice on the phone and was more than happy to provide pricing and wait time information. When getting there, you're greeted by the staff and you just tell them what you're looking for. Tattoos take appointments, but piercings are walk-in. And the good thing is they are opened late so if you're wanting something in the middle of the night, they got you. I had to wait a little bit since there were people ahead of me, but once it was your turn, it flied by and it was super quick. ALWAYS ask your questions during the piercing to ensure you have proper aftercare. Since the piercing goes by quickly, they usually send you off quick too. But always ask about the healing time and any solution you can use to clean it -- the staff was more than happy to provide that to me. The piercings were also very affordable even with tip being applied, it did not break the bank! The only downside is that the parking around the area is slim, but walking isn't too bad! Would recommend. Thank you!

Angel is such a perfectionist and all my piercings I've received have been amazing! (Nose, eyebrow, double helix, lip, & a surface tragus) now this is the only place I trust.

My only fear is that I live so close so I want to get a new piercing & tattoo everyday!!
