If you're looking for a safe, clean, and amazing piercing shop, look no further. Maria is THE BEST…read more I had multiple piercings done in one session, and the first thing you need to know is that I hate needles and I'm prone to passing out. However, Maria made me so comfortable, was so friendly, and hyped me up in all the best ways to make sure I got through it. In between piercings she gave me as much time as I needed to make sure I was ready for the next ones. She was also super knowledgeable about piercings, and all the safety procedures before, during, and after. After an infected tattoo at a totally different place, I'm really wary about unclean shops but I never once had a concern as she prepped everything. I truly can't say one bad thing about this shop or about Maria. I will recommend them to everyone.

I didn't have an appointment, but as luck would have it, they had an open slot and I took it. My artist was also the owner, Tabitha who did an amazing job! It was great reminiscing about the early alternative bands we saw live from back in the late 80's and early 90's! The shop is amazing and clean, everyone I've met there on staff get 5 stars. On a scale of 1 to 10, my next tattoo will be created at Ink Bomb!

I requested a tattoo of Jack and Sally's faces and Alec came back with this gorgeous tattoo. I can't personally speak for everyone but Alec here does great work.

I wouldn't be surprised that if my next visit to Phoenix includes a stop here

Black Lotus has been my go-to shop for several years now. I have never had such a good experience…read moreat a tattoo shop or met such talented artists and it's kept me coming back again and again. My first tattoo here was my fleabag tattoo (pictured - my left inner forearm) and I worked with David. He was so nice and talented, he did amazing. I gave him a hodgepodge of ideas to work from and told him the things I *had* to have in the piece - he incorporated everything j wanted and fleshed out the design in such a way I never even imagined. I'm so in love with it to this day (I got it a few years ago). My next tattoo was also with David - I got my ghostie in a field (also pictured). This was a scar coverup. This one I kinda let David do whatever he came up with. He gave me some options on the vibe I wanted and once he had a general idea, he came up with something *amazing*. Seriously, I get so many compliments on this. After my ghostie, David left the shop (and moved very far from me lol) so I decided to work with a different artist - Jarom. This was a total like, kismet situation. I walked into the shop after knowing David left, and asked who would be best to do some lettering on my wrists (pictured) and Jarom was suggested. He was super super nice. Such a stellar vibe. He made sure the font was what I wanted (and double checked the spelling lol) and I got in with him THAT DAY. Like... Within 30 minutes of walking in, I was sat in his chair. That day, I put another deposit down with him for another piece coming up lol My most recent piece here was with Aarin. He did my heart and dagger (pictured). This was another kismet thing. I walked in to go over ideas with Jarom for my next piece and saw this design on the flash design wall. I immediately fell in love. So I asked if I could get that done and when. Aarin came out and we talked for a minute, and again within about 30 minutes I was getting this done. Aarin was a gem to work with. I seriously recommend coming here and getting work done. Each artist has an Instagram and if you find someone you dig, 9 times out of 10 they'll take time out of their day to meet with you.

I sent some ideas of what I was trying to get to cover it but I was open to letting him design it. I stopped into the shop one day so he could see it in person and he said he could cover it and I booked my appointment (there's a $100 appt deposit, it's applied to the price of the tattoo). He did a phenomenal job, explained the process and got to work, he gave me a couple of breaks and he knocked it out in 2-1/2hours. It turned out soo good! It's beautiful! I love it!! I would highly recommend David for your next color tattoo or coverup!! Check him out on instagram @artvandelaytattoos

The prices for a piercing or multiple are very fair, but the jewelry selection could be a lot better and the prices are a bit much for what is offered.

If you're lucky enough to book with him, I certainly say from getting tattooed by him that James will do the absolute best he can to give you a tattoo you can be happy with. Even if you have a hard time sitting still like I did. Here is a healed shot of the tattoo James did on me back in May. All I can say is "Thank you".

Body piercings are a diverse and ancient practice, with origins dating back thousands of years in…read morevarious cultures. Ear piercings are among the oldest, with evidence found on mummified remains. While they are often seen as a form of self-expression, they have also served various purposes throughout history, including ritualistic, cultural, and even symbolic roles. I came here on May 17th to get a hidden helix piercing to match my lil sis on the OCA team, Wendi K. (Go add her! She's Seattle's sweetheart). That and I've been seeing them on Instagram and they look cool. Megan was my piercer and everything went well. I chose a fun dangly 14k gold piece for my piercing as I know from a previous cartilage piercing that I need a more hypoallergenic metal. And while my ear anatomy doesn't quite make the piercing fully hidden, I'm happy with it. I'm glad to have had the consultation with Megan prior so I knew what I was getting myself into. Do yourself a favor and get pierced by Megan (walk-ins are allowed for piercings). Buy some saline solution here, tip generously, and walk away being a more decorated and shiny version of yourself.
