    Drove here from Scottsdale to get some work done by Halo and she did great and has a great personality and humor! The lax-environment was dope as well and the owner is hilarious, as well as are the other artists that were there!

    I saw an artist online from this shop and stalked their social media for months before making an appt 7 months out (I needed to save and this was for our anniversary) to get something meaningful, meanwhile I excitedly watched their social media still. I sent my reference photo what I wanted. I just have little flash tattoos so I'm not super well versed in the planning process for a large custom piece such as a half sleeve. But very familiar w after care since I do have 3 tattoos and get my eye brows tattooed every 6 months. Apparently (according to others) she should have been communicating w me about the design when it got closer. I didn't see anything til I drove 2 hours there the day of. She changed the flowers because she didn't want to copy. Fair. But I'm not a person to make hasty decisions and could have looked up some additional material to supply had I known. She picked some flowers that were lemon flowers and they looked alright. So I asked her if they would have the general style and look (realism) as the photo I provided. She assured me yes it would. It definitely does not. I cry everyday looking at it. It's a half sleeve so I can't not see it. The line work is shaky asf. The shading has faded drastically. The flowers look childlike. Definitely not realistic like I wanted. I paid $840. Not only did I fail myself, but I also failed my partner since he got it too and I spent 70% of one whole paycheck on this and I don't feel it's worth that honestly. She needs a lot more practice and comes off like she's a prodigy online. Please be humble. If you can't do a certain style, say so. We trust you as artists and these are permanent on our bodies. Now I have to resave to have someone fix this and I didn't budget for that. Reference photo included in this slide. Edit: I talked to the artist and owner and they're basically gaslighting me about the condition of the work. The owner went on to write 3 paragraphs about his awards, conventions etc and saying he had oral surgery and now had to come in to "deal with me" (I had 7 oral surgeries also in the last few months btw) as if I put this tattoo on myself and making it about himself. I talked to several artists who said it had good bones but if I didn't like the flowers, they can only add not take away. They would have to darken areas like the leaves but it wouldn't have that high contrast look good tattoos have. There is not much to be done about the flowers if I don't like them except to remove them. I paid 840 for the tattoo and my consult said I would need 4 sessions at 200 a piece so 800 to remove and then who knows how much to re work the line work and shading and fill in the lasered spots w something new. This just turned into a 2500-3000 sleeve. The customer service and professionalism is seriously lacking. Instead of taking everything personally, set aside pride and ego to learn new things and improve. This comes from an artist (20 years) of a different medium. I'm really disappointed.

    I was a walk-in on a Sunday afternoon. A day I thought I might not be able to get in. Well I was talked to by the owner and he set me up with Matt, who made my time worth being there with the piece I asked for coming out just how I wanted it. It's always comforting to know if I have any questions that I will get a straightforward answer from everyone who works there with help on anything about a tattoo. Thanks Matt, look forward to coming back.

    If you're looking for a fun environment, friendly artists, and most importantly flawless art definitely book your next tattoo appointment here! I got my second tattoo from a future artist named Sisi and her work is great! Rocky runs a wonderful shop and is a great teacher! I had a great time and left with a piece that was better than I could have ever imagined. They know exactly how to make your ideas come to life. I have already recommend this shop to friends and family planning on getting a new tattoo. I this is my new tattoo home

    Awesome job by Shane! Whenever I have any creative ideas (in this case, tattoo designs), I need to see it come to fruition may it be out of impulsive decision or something I've spent a lot of thought. So when I had an idea to get a tattoo of three roses to represent my family and a compass-watch with an arrow to symbolize direction in life and its elements, I had to get it done right away. It's only been about a week since my birthday anyway, I was like why not give myself another present Lol So I did a quick search online to find someone skilled and available soonest possible and I happened on AZ Ink. I sent all my design references and drafts via email and I was recommended to talk to Shane. Though I wasn't familiar at that time of Shane's work, what sold me to go through with him is his eagerness and genuine interest to work on my concept and ideas. He answered my questions. Explained to me point by point on how we were going to do things. On the day of my appointment, he was readily present when I got to the shop. (I have past experiences wherein I had to sit and wait over an hour just to be accommodated..which I don't usually mind as long as I know it's worth the wait. However, it's good, once in awhile, when you can actually stay on schedule. They say time is gold after all lol... Shane was professional and patient. I had some requests to redo things and he did not display any kind of exasperation but worked with me..and I always appreciate that in people, especially when it comes to working on something permanent. Shane was focused throughout the process...and the end result is truly a work of art! He placed his own design on the compass-watch which looks great. The roses he did stood out awesome! Shading is solid and had soft blends to bring the realism out of the design... Good job! I love looking at the work he did and truly appreciate it... So yes, if you're considering getting a project here at AZ Ink, you're not making a bad choice...The price is right. Shop is clean with professional staff members, and talented artists!

    I was referred to Tony by a close friend to do a small piece with my son's birthday. He was super responsive and did a great job. The studio is clean and you can tell there is a lot of great talent under their roof. Prices are super reasonable. Going back for my next tattoo this week

    So the shop owner rocky , let me just start by saying he's really rude to his workers they all look like they hate him , but that's none of my business . I went to get my nipples pierced and the girl pierced my actual Ariola so one of my nipples looks fine and the other is literally going through my ariola skin . They got infected so I had the bars changed out at Urban Art tattoo which I highly recommend. They really take care of you there . Anyways I went back for a moon tattoo for "Friday the 13th" deals and the girl who tatted me messed up my moon . Spots missing out of it and everything. I took my friend there because I knew they wouldn't ID me (I lost my ID) and she really wanted a septum so I said screw it let's go , it was a different person piercing and they made her septum crooked then the rocky owner dude convinced my friend to get tatted and he was so heavy handed on her , there is chunks missing and it looks like it even got a little infection, i took my friend to my guys at urban art to take a look and they are going to fix it for her once it's healed . They gave her cleaning stuff and walked her through it all and made her feel a lot better , plus they gave it to her for free , my poor friends first tattoo was a mess . I don't know why I came back here or brought her , maybe because how sleazy they are and I knew they wouldn't Id , they didn't even make her sign paperwork for her septum or tattoo , How is a tattoo shop not going to have after care cleaning shit for tattoos or piercings ?

    I got my second tattoo on Friday the 13th by Hailie and it was really great. I gave them a hard time because my tattoo was a little bigger than the deal. But it was totally worth it. I had a hard time taking care of my tattoo and it faded it a little bit. I went in today to get it touched up and Hailie was there again! I asked her if I can get it fixed and she said she'd do it and instead of fixing the thin lines, she went over the whole tattoo to make it thicker and better. She called herself a perfectionist which I love because I felt like I was being taken care of really well! I will definitely get more of my tattoos done by her because it was a great experience with a great artist! I really owe her one because my tattoo was at least a $100 tattoo that she did for me on Friday the 13th as well as redoing the whole thing when I needed it done. My gf got a piercing on Friday the 13th by someone's apprentice as well and she didn't really like the placement so Hailie, being the great artist she is, did her piercing again in a perfect spot for free too! We both walked out of there feeling really good! 10/10 recommend!

    Can't wait to see what this looks like after it heals up.  This was immediately after 4 hours in Nic's chair.

Ear piercings are among the oldest, with evidence found on mummified remains.

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.

A week ago I woke up and decided it was time and came back to Ink Bomb. I didn't have an appointment, but as luck would have it, they had an open slot and I took it.

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.
