Cade made the process simple and quick! Highly recommend! I got a four leaf clover and the lines were perfect

Mikey is amazing !! My family and I all had an amazing experience at his shop. We all wanted to get a matching tattoo that we had drawn ourselves, so we set an appointment with him and he was able to fit all eight of us into his day! Tattoo experience took about 5 1/2 hours. He was playing some fun music offered a snacks, water and juices while waiting. When I was getting my tattoo, Mikey and I had a conversation that went awesome ! He's super kind, patient and funny. Very gentle with the tattoo process and makes sure each person is doing alright the whole time. I am planning on going back to him when I'm back in town. Thanks Mikey !!(: read more

Absolutely loved my time here the environment was so fun and friendly yet laid back and chill mikey the owner is a hell of a dude and is quite funny, while his fellow artist are just as amazing! Madison and her wonderful bubbly personality kept me comfortable and happy as a clam the entire way through my tattoo she was very professional yet very fun. The tattoo itself (a trad American sparrow on my hand) came out beautifully the shading the line work all to good and the pricing was more than fair. I would give them 100 stars if i could. Thank you guys sooooooo much!!! (Picture is the tattoo in the process of healing) read more

Mariposa Tattoo - The process of healing will update dont worry - Tattoo Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Hunter did a black widow for me back in 2022 (also my first tattoo), and I loved it but I wanted to add more to it so my arms felt more balanced and complete. My friend and I got there at 4:00 and Hunter worked on a sketch immediately while we chatted. The tattoo process itself took about an hour and a half, and he did such an amazing job! He was really patient with me even though I kept making tiny adjustments and nitpicking little details, and I'm very appreciative of it. He is such a cool guy-- super funny and great music taste. Thanks for making my vision come to life!! read more

My husband & I were driving along Historic Route 66 in March of this year (2024) when we stopped for a night in Flagstaff, AZ. I'd been wanting a Tattoo to commemorate our trip as well as fulfill a longstanding desire of mine, so I looked around and decided Flagstaff was the place. Generally, that is; the morning of March 22, 2024, I looked for Tattoo Studios and found Mariposa Tattoo, right on S Milton Rd, across from the Brilliant Milton Starbucks (but that's a Different review, lol). Mikey Sandochello is the owner of Mariposa, a brilliant artist/tattooist and all-around Good Guy. He graciously invited me to come right in, as they'd just opened for the day and were still setting up. He & I discussed my wishes, and he came up with a very cool design-- but then it so happened that he had an appointment scheduled too close to be comfortable starting on me that morning. Husb & I were planning on leaving Flagstaff ASAP for locales further East, and so we didn't want to wait if it could at all be avoided. The other tattoo artist at Mariposa however, Hunter, was present and willing to jump in & help me out with my unforgiving schedule. I was excited to work with Hunter, tho made a mental note to come back to Flagstaff for a Sandochello original in the future! We clicked with Hunter right away, and he got to drawing my tattoo. The studio is bright but not painfully so, clean, and the vibes are refreshing and safe with that Chaotic element of creation ever present! Hunter showed me his idea and we tweaked a thing or two, then got started. He is surprisingly fast, and has the skills to accomplish beautiful, consistent linework and wicked coloring without compromising design/execution to speed. We talked about everything -- our trip, Gambel's Quail, Tattoos/Art, and LOTS of DnD! I was going to say that while kind, smart and a great conversationalist, perhaps Hunter wasn't the most delicate of the tattooists I've met; but in hindsight, that is very likely on me and not him! I discovered that the outside of my right calf is Twitchy when tattooed, so my RLS is more likely responsible for the sensations l felt, lol. Yay, restless legs. Regardless, he completed an absolutely iconic and Beautiful tattoo for me in just about an hour, and was quoting a far-too-cheap price. While my budget heartily approved, I tried to compensate with my tip! I highly recommend Mariposa Tattoo, Mikey and Hunter, without reservation! My experience was Brilliant and I eagerly look forward to visiting again, perhaps even next year. This place, these folks, are a hugely positive presence for Flagstaff and represent the Tattoo community with hard work and pride! Thank you, Thank You, I ADORE MY TATTOO! read more

Incredible experience. Amazing quality. I live in Indiana but am waiting for a chance to visit Arizona and get another tattoo from Mikey!

Mikey is the best, kindest, and most professional tattoo artist I've ever had the pleasure of allowing to apply their artistic and creative skills onto my skin. Very thorough, great vibe, extremely detail oriented, and has gone above and beyond to make my ink turn out even better than I imagined every time I've been there so far. I will definitely be returning to Mariposa for more ink and I would recommend Mariposa Mikey to anyone looking for quality tattoo work at very fair prices. read more

Came here for the first time with my friend to get a tattoo. Loved the experience so much came back a month later for two of my own. Super clean and good vibes. Mikey was awesome with making sure the tattoo was exactly how I wanted and took his time instead of rushing. Highly recommend and will be coming back pretty soon for more read more
