    do NOT recommend for piercings. Went in wanting a simple nose piercing and had to remove it the same day. 1. The bar was WAY TOO LONG. 2. The placement is beyond crooked. The piercing comes out the edge of my nose. Instead of going through my nostril, it goes straight down.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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 ?

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

    This is no frou frou tattoo boutique, so don't come here looking for that. This is a solid shop, with artists that are damn good and offer solid prices. They are a little rough around the edges, but LEGIT. Had a great experience with these guys and Nic put some seriously good work on my arm. Pricing? I don't think you could beat the value I got anywhere.

    Myra was Amazing! She was able to help with selecting the right size and color requested…read more She also gave suggestions on next steps on next steps. Wish we lived near by so we can come in more often. Thank s Myra !

    So many people inspire me to not be like them. Luckily I also cross paths with people who celebrate…read morelife and add joy. HTC Studios adds that pep in your step. This spot came highly recommended from friends but mostly my trusted niece. She came here to get her eyebrow piercing and raved about their services. With several locations, we preferred the Tempe location. Super easy to schedule an appointment online and quick forms to complete before your appointment. I opted to get my nose pierced and potentially two more ear piercings. The selection of jewelry varies from affordable to really high end solid gold. The receptionist was so knowledgeable and wonderful at making suggestions for my choices. Love her style and she was spot on in matching my vibe. I loved being able to mix my metals of gold, silver and rose gold. For me, I wanted higher quality and fashionable pieces so my total was over $700 with the piercings and jewelry. They also had MDW sale discount of 20% but that eventually went as my tip to my piercer Josh. He is super cool and very thorough. Made me feel comfortable and laughing. My niece had Aubrilynn and loved her. As for the piercing, it is not painful at all. If you can take waxing or plucking, it's easy peasy! There is a little soreness on my left ear but it went away after treating myself to Taiwanese pancakes and jelly tea. You should purchase the saline solution to keep your piercings clean. Accessories are the exclamation point to your outfit. So if you're up for it, get pierced here with any of their incredible staff. To me, overdressed is a myth invented by those who have never been fabulous.
