Love Golden Rule tattoo. I have had all my work done at this shop. Super professional and friendly. John Leroux did my right arm sleeve and I love it. John is very tuned into what you want, with every little detail. And just an overall great and funny guy. I highly recommend Golden Rule and John!!

I've followed Malik to every studio he's been to, his work is incredible! He took my very loose drawing/vision and turned it into an incredible piece of art. I will be seeing him for all my future work forever. The studio he's working in is fun, the vibes are great, and Malik is the best of the best. 1000/10 recommend and will be coming back.

The people there were great! I was visiting my friend from Alaska and decided we wanted to get matching tattoos. I was able to coordinate with the shop and our artist Bob from out of state and we were both very happy! Every one there was super nice and the shop super clean!

Hayden bringing the color!

You couldn't ask for a better experience. I haven't had new tattoos in about 20 years, and I've gotten three this year from Hayden. I was a walk-in in March and got a great small piece done, and he's done two more bigger ones for me since, all of which which he designed perfectly from just a couple suggestions. The staff are great, Hayden is super talented, and the vibe is just so much fun. The rest of the staff are just as delightful and professional.

Went to golden rule with my boyfriend, his brother, father, and two of our friends. We got 5 tattoos done that day. I believe I was the only one who dead set knew what I wanted. Jason and Evan were amazing at helping my friends select tattoos. It was my boyfriends brother and fathers first tattoo. The vibes were fantastic. You can tell they love being tattoo artists. All of our flash came out beautifully. I'm apprehensive to getting text done because it can come out so screwed up but Evan killed it. Definitely a place to get a great piece of art.

My son and his fiance got married last week, and they wanted to commemorate the occasion with his and hers wedding tattoos. After doing some research, they decided to go to Golden Rule Tattoo. They are the #1 rated tattoo parlor in Arizona and have been for the last 7 years. My son Lucien is a gifted artist and designed his own matching set of wedding tattoos. We called to make a reservation, and they selected Andrew Raffield as their tattoo artist he was very accommodating and nice and a veteran of 7 years at the Camelback location. He liked their artwork, and he was able to adapt the drawings and was happy to use their design. Lucien and his wife said that it was it was a very enjoyable experience. Andrew made them both feel very comfortable, and at ease, he explained the process thoroughly and educated them on the proper care and how to maintain their new tattoos. Thier artists are trained in safety and bloodborne pathogens and sterilization procedures, and they voluntarily exceed industry standards.They have a couple of locations and are open 7 days a week for 11am to 9pm Monday through Saturday, Sunday from 11am to 7pm. If you are looking for a safe, clean, professional, and enjoyable experience, just visit one of their Valley locations.

I went to see Drake for a piece off of his flash and had a great experience! He has so many amazing pieces on his flash it was hard to decide on just one. His work and style is really unique and I've never seen anything like it before! When Drake and I met he was very attentive to my requests on size, placement, etc.! There was a perfect balance of us getting to know each other and sitting back and enjoying the process. This was my first color tattoo and I learned a lot about the healing, maintenance and care for it. The colors he mixed for my tattoo are perfect, the eyes and nose color are so unique and still just as vibrant as the day I got it! If you're looking for a chill and fun artist that's wildly talented, he's you're guy! I will absolutely be back to see him!

Got my first tattoo in Phoenix the other day at golden rule. Went by the shop to talk to Nate and get a time. Gave him a picture to use for inspiration then came in. Tattoo took a little over an hr and I love it Definitely going to get my next tattoo here too

This shops came recommended and to go see Chris Naderer. I set up a consultation and met him and we chatted. Chris paid attention and had suggestions and seemed excited so I booked it. Left my deposit and he told me he draws up his stuff the morning of and he'd see me then. I will admit this was a bit out of my comfort zone but hey, I really liked our conversation and embraced the process. I arrived here n my day and time and was blown away by what Chris came up with. Just amazing. He was fast and I just feel he nailed my vision. I'd say if you're looking for ink, call Chris Naderer.

Came here for me and my wife to get our first tattoo. Holly took the time to really understand what we wanted, offered suggestions and was extremely personable. Such an awesome experience all around.

For my first tattoo, I spent quite a bit of time searching Yelp, Google, and asking friends what…read moretheir recommendations were. I knew that I wanted a fine line tattoo of an owl holding an orange, and I wanted the artist to take my thoughts and bring their own creativity and artistry to it. I eventually found Brianna at 27 through Instagram, who made the process easy by using your consultation to learn more about me, how I dress to match my style, and what I wanted from the tattoo. I could not have been more impressed when I came back for the first session and saw that the image I had provided made by chatgpt had been transformed into something that I will cherish forever! Brianna was also almost exact on her quote for the amount of hours it would take and price. The studio itself is very clean and many individual rooms, so it felt private and comfortable. I was a bit nervous because I have vasovagal reactions to needles, but Brianna was prepared made sure I was good when we started both sessions. Brianna went over the top to make sure I had some tattoo balm to take home after the first session since I only had products that would have damaged the tattoo. I would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a fine line tattoo from an artist who can bring her own vision to the image.

I am so happy I found her! She is an amazing artist. She listened to my ideas and ran with them, along with her own interpretation. She took the time to make changes I wanted and I loved many of the things she suggested. If you are looking for a beautiful pet portrait, she will not disappoint! I have several tattoos and this by far was my best and favorite experience!!

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.
