    Called ahead to make sure they had a piercer on-duty, and Joey took care of me with the most gentle and kind approach for a tragus. Super clean shop with the nicest people. Would definitely come back again when I am in the area!

    I've had absolutely amazing tattoo work done by Cristian. The shop is always SO clean and their safety/health standards are extremely high. I definitely recommend this shop.

    I came in to get a naval piercing and left with that and a tattoo. It's all great vibes and energy here ! The staff is so professional and friendly. The environment is completely clean and sterile. I have a deeper skin tone and was very worried about finding an artist who would be able to efficiently tattoo me! Thank you so much Benny for the tattoo I'll be back soon for more. Extra special thanks to Joey for taking his time to ensure proper placement and well as efficient aftercare instructions along with a card with recommended gauge sizes for when I'm ready to replace the ring. Great job Salt & Light! Thanks so much for an epic experience !

    I connected with these folks to get my first tattoo situation together, and they were so kind and accommodating from the very start. Super chill and friendly vibes, and all the artists there were very welcoming. Good inventory of piercing items too. I requested work from Gonzo, and I had a really awesome experience! He was very gentle, and efficient. Will most DEFINITELY be back!

    I've gotten a nostril and septum piercing here; Joey did my septum and he had a very calming, professional presence. He explained the piercing and healing process thoroughly, which was very comforting if you're like me and need to understand how things work ANDY (Moth)! free-handed the lovely strawberry vine tattoo, he was so sweet and attentive to make sure I got exactly what I wanted with the design and consulted me about every detail he wanted to add. Love love loved the experience and his creativity ! Most recently I got my first "realism" style tattoo by Gonzo. He really took the time to make sure the stencil was perfectly placed, and he was so patient with me. Also he'll serenade you when ur writhing in pain :D *all healed beautifully!* Cannot recommend this place enough shoutout all u guys for being so sweet

    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 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. He kept everything calm and relaxing, did great work, and kept up nice conversation while he worked. I would recommend anyone stop here for their next tattoo, especially if they can get in with Alec. I wouldn't be surprised that if my next visit to Phoenix includes a stop here

You can immediately tell they care about their craft and their clients. Vania was so kind and warm -- she made me feel comfortable right away, which meant a lot because I was honestly a little overwhelmed (in the best way). The energy in the studio is just amazing. The amazing Manuel Flores did my two tragus piercings with the utmost care and precision. He explained everything clearly, made sure the placement was perfect, and was so gentle and professional throughout the entire process. Chancla did my tattoo and gave the BEST advice and recommendations on placement. I trusted their guidance completely, and I'm so glad I did -- it came out even better than I imagined.

Now if I want to put a hoop in it will be a massive hoop. The piercing healed fine but they used a corkscrew piercing which is super outdated and the gem from my piercing fell out after 5 months. I would not get a nose piercing from here and I wish I would've gone somewhere else.
