I've been kicking around getting another tattoo that meant a lot to me during my addiction recovery…read moreback in the day. 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. My artist was also the owner, Tabitha who did an amazing job! It was great reminiscing about the early alternative bands we saw live from back in the late 80's and early 90's! The shop is amazing and clean, everyone I've met there on staff get 5 stars. On a scale of 1 to 10, my next tattoo will be created at Ink Bomb!

I chose Ink Bomb Tattoos for my first tattoo after researching several highly rated shops and being…read moreimpressed by their portfolio -- but my experience was the complete opposite of what I expected. 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.

Body piercings are a diverse and ancient practice, with origins dating back thousands of years in…read morevarious cultures. Ear piercings are among the oldest, with evidence found on mummified remains. While they are often seen as a form of self-expression, they have also served various purposes throughout history, including ritualistic, cultural, and even symbolic roles. 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.

I came into the shop a few days ago when I was just in the area. My plan was to schedule a…read moreconsultation for what I wanted. The facility is a little small but in a cozy way. I think about 5-6 available spots for people to get tattoos at a time. They do have a bathroom inside wish was very clean. I was greeted by David upon entering and he was very nice. He was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Upon my surprise, they were available to do my tattoo as a walk-in without needing the consultation appointment. David was quick to help me find flower pieces for my leg. He made sure I liked all the flowers and began printing the different sizes and helped me with the layout while my artist finished with his other client. When my artist, Travis did come he finished helping me with placement. Travis was very friendly and we tested out the layout a few times before starting the tattoo. The tattoo process was pretty quick and actually not too painful. But Travis was great at asking if I was doing good during the session. The tattoo itself only took about an hour and a half and was $250. I was so in love with it and felt the price and process was great and reasonable. I came here after being recommended by my dad, and now I recommend you to come here for your tattoos. It was a clean, friendly, and fast experience. I will definitely return when I get more tattoo ideas.

I figured the circumstances make it okay to add an update on my review for DHTC. As I said, I was…read morevery happy to have made the trip to Gilbert, AZ from Dallas, TX. 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. If you're lucky enough to book with him, I certainly say from getting tattooed by him that James will do the absolute best he can to give you a tattoo you can be happy with. 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".

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.
