Christine completed my back piece/cover up. All staff were always friendly and professional. The shop is clean. I'm in love with my back piece still years later. I love that she left my kalinga tattoo I got in the Philippines and incorporated it as part of the elephant face paint. I will go to Christine for any future tattoo in the future. read more

I'm blown away with this shop. About a year ago I had received a really bad belly button piercing (not from them), it was crooked and extremely shallow which resulted in it ripping and having to heal. I walked in and was immediately greeted. I explained my situation and nico was more than willing to help. He was extremely professional, extremely kind, and made me feel beautiful again. Instead of having an ugly scar reminding me of a horrible past piercing, I now have a beautiful new piercing which is NOT crooked and NOT shallow! Highly recommend. Thank you again! read more

We just went Urban Art to get my six year old niece's ears pierced for her birthday. Karla was beyond amazing. You do need to bring a birth certificate to verify you are able to give permission and Karla verifies with the child that they want their ears pierced. Once that's completed she walks you through the whole process and is incredibly thorough, kind, and talented. The entire staff was warm and accommodating. If you're looking to get a child's ears pierced this is the place to go. Unlike Claire's the process is sanitary, less painful, and the staff are professionals in their field. Thank you again, could not have asked for a better experience. read more

Since my first experience at Urban Art, I have definitely turned into a loyal customer, getting my next three tattoos (yes, I've had three more since the first one!) at this same location. However, for the last two, I've gone to Neil. (I think Justin was booked the first time around and I decided to try someone else at the shop. The second time around, I chose to work with Neil and my husband actually got his first tattoo from Justin.) I am definitely more than happy with Neil's work. He and Justin are friends with some common artistic leanings but distinct styles at the same time, so it's cool to have tattoos from both of them. I definitely appreciated both of their willingness to talk through my tattoo ideas and make recommendations inspired by but elevating my vision. On another positive note, Neil is a really fun and interesting person, which makes the tattooing go by relatively quickly. (Yes, it still hurts, but with the right breathing and good conversation, it's survivable!). With my last tattoo (a back piece that took around 12 hours in multiple sessions), that personality was definitely a huge plus! If you are looking for a great tattoo from a professional yet outgoing artist, I highly recommend Neil! read more

Based on customer service alone for the piercer: i was a little pushy with getting my nose pierced with a hoop, but he insisted on a stud and showed me some really pretty ones. Unfortunately it was super packed and my baby sister was complaining about xyz and i had no earplugs to deal with her. However i am appreciative of the niceness and Chaz (i believe thats his name) being patient with me as i went on a tangent about a hoop and i will take his advice and get a stud. Unfortunately Mesa is so far out from my families place and im on holiday. So my stud will have to wait. Sorry i left without notice and thank you for being patient with my pushiness. read more

I've never been a big tattoo girl, so I began my tat journey with a small butterfly from another studio. My Urban Art Artist is Christine, once I explained what I thought I wanted, she recommended a cover up, a redo and I went for it! She came highly recommend by a few friends, so I knew she was the right one to transform my tattoo into something super special. I've been back a few times and each visit she produces something better than I ever imagined. Every ounce of this tattoo has significant meaning to me and Christine has done a beautiful job designing, creating, expanding, and executing my vision into a gorgeous "piece" that I absolutely LOVE. I guess I have become a big tattoo girl. Christine is an AMAZINGLY talented artist and I'm so thankful for her gift. read more

I had the honor of receiving Rod's artistic gifts a few weeks ago. I was referred to him thru a mutual friend. My family had a recent tragedy and i needed to memorialize the lost loved one in ink. I set a consult appt online then met with Rod. He listened to my story, collaborated with my ideas, and gave advice on my piece. I even scored a heartfelt hug (I was in tears); which cemented my faith in him. The session was set out a bit (he is much in-demand, obviously because he is quite awesome) and I could not have had a better turnout! He educated me on tattooing over my scars, and gave proper expectations so I knew what to look out for. I absolutely love what he did from the strong lines, to the wispy lines... shading and clarity- all was beautifully done -better than my mind could imagine. Like I told him at the end of my session- Rod is my tattoo artist for life. Oh, and Lori was super cool to deal with in the front office; great follow up email w/instructions.

I was really excited about this place. The reviews were solid. When I looked on their site I was drawn to Justin's work for specific reasons, especially the way he tattooed trees. I went there with the intention of talking to him and setting up an appointment. As I started talking about what I wanted (a tree coming from my mid forearm down onto my hand, lots of detail, etc), he basically just cut me off and explained to me that he hates tattooing trees. He said he gets at least one person a week inquiring about a tree tattoo and how he just hates them and doesn't feel inspired doing them. One of his co-workers walked in and Justin said something along the lines of, "Oh he hates doing trees too" and the guy said, "uhghhh I f*cking hate trees". Now lets be realistic, I am sure if I were a tattoo artist I wouldn't be too jazzed about tattooing the american flag on someones shoulder or a bald eagle on their back but I wouldn't put down someone's interest. I would simply explain that I would recommend someone else, but I wouldn't just blatantly make someone feel like an idiot. He recommended me to go to someone else at the shop but I was so put off by the experience that I decided to go elsewhere (Ian at Club Tattoo on Country Club/US 60 is a lot nicer and actually talked to me about what I wanted). The only part of getting tattoos that I hate is dealing with jerks who think they're far too awesome to be nice to someone with differing interests. I suppose if I were to cross paths with Justin again I would suggest him to take down the pictures of his work involving trees because I'm sure that's what is drawing people interested in tree tattoos to him. read more

Born and raised in LA, I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. During Jr high I progressed from paper to Graffiti. After a successful graffiti career, I needed more. I got my first tattoo and I was HOOKED! I decided to get an apprenticeship immediately. After losing everything I owned in the 1994 Northridge earthquake, I moved my family to beautiful Arizona. I opened Urban Art Tattoo & Piercing that April 20th and it's now been over 30 years! I've been tattooing for over 33 years. It's the second love of my life and a career that fulfills my artistic needs as well as allows me to meet amazing, diverse people every day.

My first tattoo here was my fleabag tattoo (pictured - my left inner forearm) and I worked with David. He was so nice and talented, he did amazing. I gave him a hodgepodge of ideas to work from and told him the things I *had* to have in the piece - he incorporated everything j wanted and fleshed out the design in such a way I never even imagined. I'm so in love with it to this day (I got it a few years ago). My next tattoo was also with David - I got my ghostie in a field (also pictured). This was a scar coverup. This one I kinda let David do whatever he came up with. He gave me some options on the vibe I wanted and once he had a general idea, he came up with something *amazing*. Seriously, I get so many compliments on this. After my ghostie, David left the shop (and moved very far from me lol) so I decided to work with a different artist - Jarom. This was a total like, kismet situation. I walked into the shop after knowing David left, and asked who would be best to do some lettering on my wrists (pictured) and Jarom was suggested. He was super super nice. Such a stellar vibe. He made sure the font was what I wanted (and double checked the spelling lol) and I got in with him THAT DAY. Like... Within 30 minutes of walking in, I was sat in his chair. That day, I put another deposit down with him for another piece coming up lol My most recent piece here was with Aarin. He did my heart and dagger (pictured). This was another kismet thing. I walked in to go over ideas with Jarom for my next piece and saw this design on the flash design wall. I immediately fell in love. So I asked if I could get that done and when. Aarin came out and we talked for a minute, and again within about 30 minutes I was getting this done. Aarin was a gem to work with. I seriously recommend coming here and getting work done. Each artist has an Instagram and if you find someone you dig, 9 times out of 10 they'll take time out of their day to meet with you.

I was honestly very nervous…read morebecause I had stupidly researched the the piercing and read all kinds of horror stories and that it was the most painful piercing ever. Tristan was INCREDIBLE. He obviously is an expert piercer and values lifelong training in his chosen profession. His calm, professional nature immediately put me at ease and he walked us through every step along the way. Of course, my daughter made me go first so I was prepared to hide how awful it was, but I didn't have to! It wasn't pain free (I hate that question- seriously people it's a piercing/tattoo!), but Tristan did his best to make it quick and without surprises. I highly recommend for all your piercing needs!

The prices for a piercing or multiple are very fair, but the jewelry selection could be a lot better and the prices are a bit much for what is offered. Overall, I think the staff are great and make this place worth a visit. My actual piercing experience (Tragus, both sides) was also very great and I felt no sense of rushing which is always a plus!

My update isn't adding much other than I still highly recommend this shop. James Withee the owner, is very good at what he does.

Even if you have a hard time sitting still like I did. Here is a healed shot of the tattoo James did on me back in May. All I can say is "Thank you".

Do NOT go to this shop not only are the artist Dicks but the guy who did mine Rob, was especially rude, racist, and he did not clean his machine after he used it on a previous customer. Not just that but he cracked jokes about making my tattoo hurt me on purpose. Now I'm sitting here in pain with an infected tattoo which is shitty by the way the detail wasn't done right the shading is fading... Did I mention I just got this tattoo yesterday? I haven't even had it footer 24 hours yet. not only that they over charge by 50% all they care about is the money their not artist at all!! And they don't know Shit about customer service. After we did some research we found this GREAT shop in Phoenix. The art work was extravagant!! The people were amazing and get this they close at 6 on a Sunday but some of the artist will stay until midnight to get your tattoo done. They had so much more choices for tattoos than urban art ever dreamed of!! the artist are amazing and they aren't in it for the money they're in it footer the art!! Not only that they'll do a much better then urban art for half the price and 4x better in quality. I'm going to them so they can fix my tattoo that Rob fucked up on. If you're gonna go anywhere go to artistic tattoo 664 W.camelback Rd. Phoenix,AZ 85013 the costumer service alone is worth going to.and free touch ups too...and ladies they also do permanent make up and eye brows It looks spectacular and real!! They have a website www.artistictattooaz.com if you wanna stay healthy go to Artistic Tattoo on 7th ave. And camelback Rd URBAN ART TATTOO WILL GET YOU SICK THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!! All the bad reviews are TRUE!!! read more

I went here over the summer to get my first tattoo. I was extremely excited and I thought this would be the best place to go after reading all the reviews. I went in to the shop to make an appointment for my tattoo and the manager, Samantha, was very nice and set me up with an artist and gave me a quote for the tattoo. When I went in for my appointment a couple of weeks later everyone still seemed rather friendly except for my tattoo artist. I believe his name was Jaimie however I am not sure because he was such a rude person that I did not want to bother with his name as I had no intention of ever getting a tattoo from him again. He felt the need to make fun of the quote that I was getting on my back, a quote that happens to mean a lot to me. Honestly, the first couple of jokes were funny but after a while it just got old and rude. After the tattoo was finished and he was explaining the aftercare to me, he talked to me like I was an idiot which annoyed me since this was my first tattoo and I had no idea what to do. About a month ago my friend went to a different tattoo shop in AZ and I saw how tattoo artists should act around their customers and I was even more angry at the experience I had at Urban Art Tattoo which prompted me to write this review. I will never recommend this shop to anyone nor will I ever return here. read more

If you want an AMAZING tattoo go see Nicole at Urban Art III in Tempe. I went to Nicole after being impressed with her work on the website. I went in there with a half-finished train-wreck of a side piece, (blown-out lines you name it) it was pretty bad/embarrassing. She did an amazing job, tattoo is more than I could have ever imagined, she shaded and put almost like a watercolor spin on it...it looks airbrushed and awesome. She did the whole tattoo is just over 2 & 1/2 hours, and that's including going over the original artist's mess. This gal "gets it done", non of that taking smoke breaks every 5 minutes stuff. Believe me I didn't experience that "pretentiousness" you'll find with some artists in other shops, her work speaks for itself. And last but not least Nicole has the "lightest hand" ever. When she says; "I'm light-handed" take her at her word. It was the best tattoo experience I've ever had, and I have 4 other tattoos. I'll definitely be going back to see her again for another piece. You can see the tattoo in my pictures!!! read more

I just read the review by Winona and wanted to make a statement. Any tattoo shop, that is not professional and just wants to take your money- will tattoo anything you want on you. Whether or not it's a bad idea. I've been going to Urban Art for years and what I DO know is that they will NEVER tattoo something that you will one day regret. They were trying to save you from yourself. Yes, he may have had tattoos on HIS hand but HE is a tattoo artist! He's not out in the world trying to get a job and being judged for his appearance. The competing shop is a newly opened shop that will take your money and not care. It takes $200 to open a tattoo shop, don't think that just because there's a store front that those guys are professional and well trained. I saw the picture of your tattoo and trust me! You should've paid the professionals what they wanted. Hopefully they can fix what they've done when it heals. I wish you the best but please do your homework when getting something on your body, for life! read more

The employees at Urban Art are hilarious and so personable! On my 17th birthday I decided I wanted an industrial bar in my ear! I was as extremely nervous because I am terrified of needles but the second I walked in I felt soo comfortable and calmed down! Jess was my piercer and she is completely amazing and bad ass! I just recently went back to her at the Tempe Urban Art to get my tragus pierced and I am in love with it! She has an amazing sense of humor and if you don't like her something is obviously wrong with you! On my 18th birthday I got my first tattoo by Justin Hartman! I once again was nervous as could be but him and Sam made me laugh and feel comfortable! He is funny as shit too and did an amazing job on my tattoo!! I would recommend anyone who wants tattoos or piercings to go the Urban Art any day! Most people think they are expensive buttt good tattoos are not cheap and cheap tattoos are not good!! :) read more

Justin created an awesome custom piece for me,I had an idea,and he did the rest,beautiful,and very unique. The shop is extremely clean,and each artist has their own private room,which is cool. I see tattoos all the time,and now I think to myself"wow that really looks like s****" compared to mine.. People stop and ask me at least once a week where I got my tat and how awesome it is.I have since moved to Ca,but I still tell everyone where I went. If I ever get another one,I will drive the 7 hours to see Justin again,he is that good. read more

Urban Art 1 & 2 collectively have some of the best artists on the West Coast. Whether your taste is black and gray, color, traditional Japanese, Americana, it doesn't matter. There is someone who can make your dream come true inside your skin. Trevor, the resident piercer can make the craziest idea come to life, and if he doesn't have the jewelry in stock that you want, he has a myriad of companies to order some of the most amazing body jewelry you can imagine through. read more

Please read this thread on FB before using this shop. Harrassed a customer who left a bad review and wouldnt remove it. Offered her a free tattoo but she didnt want it, then turned to his followers to "harrass her until she deleted her account".
