A friend wanted to celebrate her birthday with new piercings. I googled tattoo shops in the area and Urban Art had the most and best reviews...and they were not wrong! Very happy we came! My friend is a very particular about cleanliness. She was very satisfied with the shop, and how they clean their items before piercing. The head piercer, Nico, was skilled and very patient with her she is terrified of needles). Nico was very kind and allowed her to take breaks as she needed. While she only ended up stretching 3 closed piercings and didn't end up getting new piercings as she intended, she for sure plans to go back because of how gentle Nico was. I went as a support to my friend, but ended up getting three new pieces of jewelry for my various ear piercings and Nico installed them for me without any issues. I would 100% recommend the shop and we definitely plan to be back! read more

The professionalism at this shop was extremely disappointing. Personal drama seemed to spill into customer interactions, communication was immature, and overall the experience left a bad impression. I won't be returning. I'm done with the drama and disrespect. I expected honesty and maturity, and I didn't get either. I'm moving on. I'm having someone else finish this tattoo. Worst experience ever. read more

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

So I did a thing...finally got my nose pierced!! I already have a helix piercing and a tragus piercing, but the nose was hard for me to push the green light on because I was worried about irritating the piercing with make up, blowing my nose, sweat from yoga, etc Nico put my mind at ease and answered all my questions & concerns. He guided me every step of the way...even with the size of the jewel and location of the piercing. It barely hurt for a bit, but totally worth it!! I love it! read more

First, the young lady at front desk was very polite and personable. Also, I've gotten two tattoos here myself. My husband and sister-in-law got one together too. MY husband is getting another tattoo today!! Rob is our go-to guy. He is very polite. He is good with customer service. And most importantly Rob does an excellent job with his tattoo art work!! Oh and I also got my tongue pierced here 5 yrs ago by Johnny. Very pleased read more

Great experience. I emailed earlier this week about getting some lettering done on the side of my neck. Brooklyn reached out to me right away about getting me connected with an artist and scheduled. Came in today to work with Unkl Rob. Gave him my idea, he drew up a few designs for me to choose from. I picked one and we got to work a short while later. I love the piece and already referred a few friends. I'll definitely be back. read more

Nico!!!! Thanks a million. 5 days later and the monroe piercing is healing well. It is so sweet and amazing. It adds to my identity. Thanks a billion https://fb.watch/glz4Sfv-of/ 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

All of the staff were great. We went to Karla for ear piercing, she was so patient & understanding with my hesitant 13 yr old. I appreciated all of the education & advice during our visit. Everyone was appropriate & respectful of my daughters age. Everything was clean and sterile for her piercing :) The artists' work hanging in the shop was awesome made me want a tattoo :) the price was more than fair for the piercing & stud. read more

Its been 4 weeks.. My forward helix is healing nicely.. now it does hurt when I lay my head on a pillow. But I don't sleep on it yet. But I'm glad I am not sore anymore.. I'm glad I don't have any issues. Just follow the instructions Nico gave me. I'm happy I didn't have any issues.. read more

I had a great experience here! Tattoo was 120 before tip and it came out great. I had them make a stencil from my faincee's handwritten name on a note card to surprise her and they totally nailed it. When I showed her she immediately recognized her handwriting. My artist name sounded like Mouse but idk how it's spelled. He was blasting punk rock and there were lots of pictures and horror toys hanging up to look at which was fun to look at while the work was getting done. I'd definitely return for future work. read more

My husband and I accidentally fell upon Rod for a quick fun tattoo about a year ago. We have since made multiple appointments with him for other pieces. He is very personable and has a very light hand with the tattoo machine. He is definitely a true artist and you can tell he loves his craft. read more

I had a really great experience at Urban Art. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. MAUS was my artist, I was a walk in, he was very attentive to the design I was looking for and very much exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with my new ink and I definitely would return to see MAUS if I wanted more ink. Thank you, MAUS, I absolutely love it read more

This was my first time getting a tattoo and I chose Urban Art based on all of the awesome reviews that they have here on Yelp. They were so kind and so helpful! The customer service is amazing and made me feel very comfortable for my first experience! Uncle Rob did my tattoo and it turned out perfect! I highly recommend this place. read more

Urban Art Tattoo - My tattoo :) - Tattoo Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

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

Honestly I could save your time, money, and skin by just goin somewhere else. I went in last week for a 3*3 cartoon character and even though the final product looked pretty crispy my artist was pushing the ink and needle way to deep for the whole session and now a week later my shits almost faded out, and I have plenty of tats but this is a first, fuck these ppl read more

Bathroom is clean. FYI parking is a little bit tight. I got my nose pierced at this location and it was efficient, quick, and easy. You get a good selection of studs you would like. If you don't like it, you can go over there and change the top for like 10-15$ (prices as of feb 2022). I would come back again! read more

one of my first tattoos, and the entire experience was amazing!! very comfortable environment!!

My daughter got her ears pierced here by Nico. No blood + No tears = Success Thank you read more

This is my second review for here but it is very warranted!! I have now gotten 4 piercings from Nico and they have healed so well and the process was very smooth. I felt safe and comfortable and Nico was kind about talking me through everything. After having bad helix piercing experiences in the past, I was nervous about going into it again. But it has been about a week since my helix piercing with Nico & it is healing so well!! 100% recommend Nico for any piercings!! read more

Absolutely love these guys. Very clean, very professional, very great work. I got a cover up from Uncle Rob and the art exceeded my expectations. Have also gotten piercings and other tattoos as well. It's always been a very pleasant experience. I definitely recommend going to their shop. 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

Nico did an excellent job on my belly piercing he was so patient and friendly! Excellent place. Thank you!

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 had a tattoo done by Tony and a few piercings by Jes, and both times the atmosphere was really professional! I haven't had any complications with the work done by either of them. Pricing is completely fair for great work, and I'm sure I'll go back for something else in the future! 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

OJ once again pierced my nose (I had taken it out a couple years ago and let it close up, oops!) And he did a fabulous job. Super informative, quick, nice and calm, and funny too! It hurt, as expected, but so little tugging that I barely noticed after the initial piercing action. Thanks again OJ! 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. Thanks Urban Art Tattoo! read more

10 stars If I could the staff here is awesome!!! Came in and talked to the front desk gentleman such a sweetheart (bad memory I already forgot his name ) . Had a dermal done by pinky, and it came out beautiful, she was so super super quick and the best I've ever had!! I will definitely be back in the next couple of months to get another piercing, and I'm also going to sage for a tattoo very shortly my consult is next week everything in the shop is top notch!!! Everything is super clean and the staff are super welcoming!!!! read more

All the staff were super friendly and helpful about trying to get me what I wanted. I showed up as a walk in and Maus gladly took the reference picture I brought in and got started working on the stencil right away! All in all the shop was clean, the staff was amazing, and I'm more than happy with my tattoo and the price. read more

A friend recommended this shop to me, but I've received no feedback on my requested unique sketch. Lori has tried to help remind Rob to call and email me an update no less than 6 times over the last 3 months. Rob never called or emailed me. Eventually Lori did not respond to my follow up email. So I'm moving on. Everyone is very friendly over the phone. Shop looked clean. read more

My mom and I got matching tats last year (March 2017). We were seated right away. My mom was a tattoo virgin. Our artist was very kind and explained everything to her ahead of time. Very clean facility. Used gloves and fresh needles straight from new packaging. If I need a touch up or decide I want another tattoo this is where I'll be going. Don't be deceived by the building location or outside. Staff are friendly and know what they're doing. The inside is very large and has private rooms for each person. read more
