I don't even know where to start! My artist Dusty seems like one of the kindest, most honorable…read morepeople I've met not only in the tattoo industry but truly in my life. So let's start there. He was so warm, so patient, so willing to adapt, and 100% focused on making sure I was happy and comfortable with my choice without feeling guilted or pressured into making payments or a decision simply to get done with my piece. He was not at all phased or dismissive of my nervousness. He was willing to give his time to feel comfortable with the process. He allowed me the space to feel ready, he comforted me when I said I was nervous or scared, he actively consulted his beautiful wife and business partner Emily so that I had the expertise of both of them in my tattoo! He had no ego, only gentleness and an attentive ear! He spoke with respect of the previous artist and simply listened and guided me thru the additions I was considering. He understood exactly what I wanted, was honest yet respetful as we went. He allowed my best friend to sit with me throughout the process and keep my mind distracted as he created a design that I did not think was possible. I walked in rather impulsively, just curious about a modification, but truly did not think a fix was possible without a massive redo and he proved me wrong. I told him that I regretted the tattoo placement I had previously because every time I turned my forearm I cringed it how it looked. I told him I wanted simple, feminine, butterflies, and flow...I wanted a cute peakaboo that I could still enjoy out of my sleeve. I wanted the piece to look good when I twisted my arm while I drove! These are exactly what he gave me. He created something that looks perfect from every angle. I could not be more pleased. I am already consulting him on my next peace. Dusty, thank you for being you! Today, I feel the excitement and joy I hoped for when I first got started on this piece months ago. You've turned possible regret into something awesome. I am beyond grateful! I've attached photos but I'll best honest, it does NOT photograph very well ... or i haven't figured out the right angle. The piece is so dainty and beautiful in person!

Today was my second visit at Black Gold. Dusty did my last tattoo and since I was impressed not…read moreonly by his talent but also his personality, I came back to see him for something special. I came in today to get a tattoo that was significant to my brother in law, who our family lost almost a year ago. I was treated with compassion and respect by Dusty who earnestly listened to my stories about my BIL, who he was to me and why I chose the art I wanted him to do. Dusty did his magic and put his own heart and soul into the tattoo. It may have been small, but it was HUGE to me. Thank you Dusty! When you did our matching tattoo's for my niece and me, we both felt you make a connection with your clients. You are special. Thank you!

While visiting in town, I stopped in to check out this local tattoo shop. Upon entering I was…read moregreeted by an artist behind the counter, and another who was currently working with another customer. Friendly, welcoming environment, which is always a plus! The artists have portfolios you can look through, or you can choose to have something drawn specifically for you. That's what I opted to do. I spent some time discussing my ideas and we set a time and date for me to come back. ( YAY! EXCITED! ) Second visit, and actual tattoo appointment. I was able to take a good look around the shop since I was there for over 4 hours. Shop supplies were neat and organized, overall cleanliness was very good. Keep in mind this was going to be a bit of a challenge. I had a HIDEOUS gigantor tattoo on my hip already and he was going to be working a miracle by putting something pretty on it. I felt like he took his time drawing, carefully positioning the stencil on my body and being mindful of my comfort during this lengthy process. I highly recommend Dan, and Hard Luck Tattoo!

I had a truly wonderful experience at ARTery tattoo and with Jeremia, my tattoo artist. This was my…read morefirst tattoo and it was something I had been dreaming about for quite a long while. But it was also something I was nervous about. Jeremia was so patient, really listened to me, and designed an amazing octopus that covered a large portion of my right calf. The tattoo itself was complicated and took hours to finish. Jeremiah made sure I was comfortable the whole time and checked in on me throughout. The whole experience was incredible. Everyone else at in the shop was also welcoming and the team at ARTery have succeeded in creating a unique and inclusive space. As for the tattoo itself. It's fabulous! Amazing! Unique and as weird and beautiful as I had hoped it would be. Everyone I have shown it to loves it and remarks on Jeremia's artistic talent. Most importantly, I LOVE it! When I mentioned to a well tatted barista the other day that I had gotten my first tattoo, and told him about ARTery and Jeremiah, he said he knew her work and that, "Jeremia is the best tattoo artist in the valley." If you are in Flagstaff, Sedona, Cornville, Cottonwood, Prescott, or Camp Verde (or Phoenix even) you should get your tattoo at ARTery!
