    I came as a walk in to get a tattoo and the places the place looks very clean, organized, and nicely decorated. All of the artist there and nice and polite and also funny ( we were joking about the weather since it was heavenly raining and a few other stuff about how long everyone was working there for ) Tattoo wise: I got mine done by josh. He was a nice guy and was completely concentrated on what I was asking for since it was something out of his comfort zone. It came out exactly how I wanted it and I love it

    Kenneth was 100% worth the wait! He did a cover up for me that turned out fantastic! I love it! Highly recommend this shop. They were professional and their artists are so talented

    My husband gave me a choice for my bday and I chose tattoos. Next wave got such great reviews that we called to check pricing. Lady who answered the phone was very nice and actually gave an hourly price where most places just say "it depends". We decided to head on down and check it out. Very clean shop and everything is sterile. We talked to Jose about what I wanted and he said "no problem", "I can do that now". He drew it up and got it to my liking and got it done. From walk in to walk out it was less then 2 hours. Jose was awesome! He does crisp clean lines. I could not be happier.

    Went in for a "get what you get" tattoo and was so impressed I'll certainly will be going back for some more! Josh was my artist and he was great, does really really solid work! But looking at the other artists work you can't go wrong here I imagine. Also a nice clean shop. Highly highly recommend you get some ink from here.

    I first went here because my roommate and I felt the need to get more work done. She had been here before, and I had not. I am wary of tattoo shops that I've never been to, but my roommate had previously had work done there, so I trusted her judgement. I was unsure when I walked up to the shop, it is very small and it seemed older from the outside. When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. The shop was very clean and all tools were sterilized in front of me. My artist was nice enough, and did a very good job with the cross on my back. She did the ink to my specifications and made sure I was involved in the process every step of the way. For how large my tattoo is, it was very decently priced. All in all it was a pretty decent experience.

    I've gotten two tattoos from Joe recently and I absolutely love them and he is great. I told him what I wanted and he did exactly that and more. I didn't have to wait forever to get in, the first tattoo I even got an appointment for the same day! The crew watched Dexter while I was getting tattoo and that helped take my attention off of my tattoo! I recommend Joe to all of my friends now when they say they want a tattoo!

    I chose Ink Bomb Tattoos for my first tattoo after researching several highly rated shops and being…read moreimpressed by their portfolio -- but my experience was the complete opposite of what I expected. I paid a $60 booking fee a week in advance, and was told it covered the artist's drawing time and the appointment slot. Yet when I arrived early for my 3:00 PM appointment, nothing was prepared. After about 20 minutes, the artist showed me a design that wasn't even close to what I had provided, so he had to start over while I waited even longer. After an hour of waiting -- including watching the artist step outside for a smoke break -- I left without getting tattooed. I then learned the booking fee was nonrefundable, despite the fact that the delay and lack of preparation were entirely on their end. If the fee is supposed to cover the design work, the design should be ready before the client arrives -- not started after check-in. What should have been an exciting first tattoo experience was instead frustrating and disappointing. I reached out to the owner, hoping for understanding. Instead, I received no apology, no responsibility -- just the implication that I was being unreasonable for expecting my time to be respected. Extremely disappointed. I won't be returning, and I hope others know what they're signing up for before booking here.

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

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.
