    Me and my sisters tattoos
    Samantha G.

    This is a very chill, clean, welcoming tattoo shop which is hard to find. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Jared did mine and my sister's tattoos and he was very funny, nice, and inviting. We loved the vibes here. If you're looking for something small or a big piece of art this is the place to go. 10/10!

    My ear stud
    Doreen G.

    Originally when I wrote my review, I was already debating to just put 3/5 stars, however, I gave the benefit of the doubt that they were professionals and they knew what they were doing. I loved my piercer, he was sweet and very nice. They did not have many jewelry options. Ok that's fine. They told me I could switch out my 2 month old nose piercing for a hoop- I went to another tattoo shop (along with simply googling it after wards), this was not the truth. The hoop on my nose that I selected (btw I selected the smallest one) was HUGE. I got my helix pierced with a BIG jewelry (they never told me the cons of having a big vs small jewelry, never informed me about anything). However, this is something I can put aside because of my piercer and the overall experience. But what finally made me absolutely lose it, was when I woke up and I found my ear to be sore and the piercing to be gone. Ok! That's fine! It probably just Undid itself... right? NO. The back of the jewelry was NOT big enough and the jewelry was not LONG enough to handle my swelling! So when I found my jewelry, it was freaking intact! That means that my entire STUD went through my ear! The quality of knowledge, the quality of their jewelry, and the quality of good judgement is not there! I will never go back (though I'm sure they don't care), but I advise anyone to be weary of getting their helix done, as you can also wake up and find your ear stud gone, intact, your ear sore, and blood!!! (Oh and by the way, I sleep on my back, I never sleep on my ear!!!)

    This place is fantastic! Super comfy atmosphere and all the artists super nice and talkative! Got tattooed by Mystic! Such a sweet and funny gal! Definitely will be coming back for more in the future :)

    I came from The Bay Area to get a tatto with my best friend who lives near Mesa, AZ.  Randy did an amazing job. We love our tats!

    I came from The Bay Area in California to get a tatto with my best friend who lives near Mesa, AZ. Her husband picked the shop and the artist. Randy did an amazing job and he made us feel super comfortable. And the shop is very clean and cool! We love our tattoos.

    Great Tattoo by Jared. Thanks for taking care of me! Will be back! I Was a walk in and they had me in and out in 2 hours with exactly what I wanted Thanks!

    Communication between me and the owner of the shop

    So I am not one to blast people EVER but what happened was I went in and was on a budget and say down with one of the artists and told him what I wanted and the main thing was after the first session I wanted it to be where you would not be able to see the name that I was trying to cover up. He told me he would block me out an hour and that during that time he would do the outline and he would do some shading with white to help make the tattoo that I was covering lighter but said he would make sure that the name was less visible as possible and then we would let it heal and I would come back in a month to finish, I said that was fine, I didn't really want the rose but he said that was the best flower to use as a cover up and then the flowers that I chose originally we would go ahead and take those up for a sleeve, I said fine I just needed it covered. I had to pay a $100 deposit which was fine and was scheduled for the next week. When I went in I had already spoke to the gentleman in the front about how I had been there before but he said since they had moved I needed to fill out the paperwork again which is fine but I said I wish I would have known that cause I would have come in earlier instead of 5 min before my appointment time. I filled out the papers and was brought back to sit down, the artist was getting things ready and our start time was supposed to be 1130 but we didn't start till I would say 10-15 min after that, he started the tattoo, he was nice and we talked and then it was 1230 and he was done, I didn't get the full hour but I didn't complain because my really god friend referred me to this place and I figure he would make it up the next time, I was charged $50 before I left and then I left a tip. The artist did tell me that the tattoo would probably start to look like a burn but not to worry that was normal, I said okay, I kept up on the tattoo making sure it was being taken care of and then all of a sudden I saw this huge bruise, I didn't know what it was and just let it go but then it was bothering me because I have a lot of tattoos and I have never bruised, this is a picture of it after it was starting to heal a little and then I looked at another picture which was when the tattoo was being done and I could see his hand was right in that spot; it didn't hurt at the time but I did have to wear long sleeves not only because of the bruise but also because I didn't like how the tattoo looked being not even half done and the fact that you can still see the name plain as day and then as the days went on I started noticing in a certain area of the tattoo it had scarred and you can maybe not see it too well in the pictures but you can feel it for sure and it's raised and it's white just like a scar and I showed some other people and they agreed. I was going to talk to the artist about it when I went back in because I have never bruised nor have I ever got a scar from a tattoo. Anyways I was scheduled to go in today and when he blocked my session time he did it for 2 hours which he charges $150/hr so I would be looking at $300 more on top of the $150 I already paid, which for a rose that is not that big made me realize $459 is a lot of money and I had just ran into some more financial problems so I reached out to the shop via email and just told them I was going to need to cancel and explained why and then I just expressed my concerns about my experience there and what had happened, I was not asking for anything I was just specifically being informative and I did add in there that I felt that for this piece I was getting I felt that I was getting taken advantage of as far as how much it was going to end up costing me in the end so I was more than likely going to have to take my business elsewhere. I got upset is when I got a response back from the owner Randy, only met him once and he was not anywhere around when I had my initial consult and he literally was super disrespectful on his response, super defensive like I was trying to get something from his shop or bad mouth him. Super rude and unprofessional

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.
