We walked into their shop on a Saturday night inquiring about a tattoo for my husband and a ring tattoo that needed to be retouched. I must say of any past experiences in getting inked, this has been the worse. The guy that helped us was very rude, his name is Jake, talked us against doing the ring we wanted on his finger, said that it would not look good, since the picture we showed him looked good because it was fresh, he said he wouldn't recommend it. My husband requested a second tattoo on his arm, he showed him the cross he was wearing and the cross in the hat he had on that night, he gave him a quote asking him for a $60 deposit to book the appointment, we set up an appointment that same night for next Monday with the agreement that he was going to sketch something for him based on what we've provided. A week had gone by, and last Thursday, we have a friend who is a graphic artist and he had created some artwork for us with the cross we wanted. The symbols on the cross are native american and the meaning on it represents a big part of our lives. My husband contacted Jake to let him know we had some artwork for him to preview since the appointment was approaching for this Monday. He had no problem according to the conversation when he called him back on Friday, since Thursdays and Sundays are his days off, he was also going to provide some art so we could compare and decide what looked best all via text messages. I believe this is very important and he MUST like it since it was going to be on his skin for the rest of his life. My husband sent him a text Friday night at 7:00 PM asking how the artwork was coming, he responded he was already home that night and that he would be sending the art on Saturday morning. We did not receive any artwork from Jake, and since the appointment was today, my husband texted him yesterday apologizing for being Sunday and being a holiday, and he responded saying it was Easter Sunday and he was with family, which that is understandable, there was no problem at all. The day of doing the ink arrived, Jake provided my husband with a penciled cross that was probably done on the same morning, he proceeded to tell him that he did not appreciate so many texts and calls, that he did not treat him with respect. That his text on Sunday disrupted the time he was spending with his kid and made him think about work. Jake was hostile and had a very bad attitude towards my husband. I AM SORRY, but he is providing a service, if he did not want to be called on his personal cell phone, then do not provide it to any of his customers, Also, besides the times my husband contacted him were not that many, he was not professional at all. My business is to serve the customers and provide them with the best quality service there is to their satisfaction, that is exactly how we expect to be treated from any other business provider. Needless to say, he would not even return to us the $60 deposit claiming that it was nonrefundable for a service not provided. Any of the reviews we see here on YELP, are good but as we can see, there are other artists mentioned not Jake. I guess, all these customers were lucky not having him. We had several tattoos done for us in the past and this is the first time we encounter someone unwilling to work with us, just to get it out of the way. We will not recommend Gypsy Rose to any of our friends, sorry for the other talented artists that might be there and are proud of their work and talents. read more

I've been here for two Friday the 13ths and really want to come back to have a different piece done. They managed this past Friday the 13th very well and despite the long line I got in and out fairly quickly with two awesome tattoos! Both artists I've had have been friendly, professional, and did great work. This is definitely where I'll come for my next tattoo, and my favorite spot to go for Friday the 13th! read more

Absolutely love the shop. Everyone there I've encountered is very polite. I've only been tattooed by Sam at the shop, I've followed him since 2014. The shop is clean and well maintained. From what I've seen, every artist there is talented! I would definitely recommend you check this place out! read more

My buddies and I took a road trip from San Diego out to Phoenix and stopped by this dope ass shop to get some tattoos. I was greeted by Lloyd when he came out and checked out our bikes and introduced himself. Then, shortly after he gave us some cold waters because it was so hot outside. The tattoos ended up REALLY GOOD and he was a lot of fun to hang out with and made us feel at home. We also got a really good deal. I would HIGHLY reccomend this shop, not only for the atmosphere, but for the professionalism and quality of artwork. These are great tattooers and great dudes. Thanks Lloyd, ML&R for your boys in California! Jarod P. read more

Tattoos are very personal and opinions vary of what's a great tattoo. So I won't delve too much in my opinions of what's good. What you should look for in a studio is cleanliness and courtesy. Gypsy Rose is by far one of the cleanest and well set up spots in AZ. There are studios that have that "too cool for school" mentality. Not Gypsy. The artists are not a bunch of elitists. They cater to the first time walk ins to the full on customs. Not have I only received multiple tattoos from the artists available, I have become friends with all of them. I have more tattoos in my future and will no doubt continue to support one of the raddest studios in Phoenix. read more

Gypsy Rose Tattoo - Snake done by Lloyd Parrack. - Tattoo Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My husband and I have been coming to Gypsy Rose for a couple years now. We originally followed an artist from another shop, but were so impressed with the shop and the people, we stayed when our artist moved. The Friday the 13th special they do does require a little patience, as they've only gotten more and more popular, but it's worth the wait. They always have great flash and it's always a fun atmosphere. And once you get into the chair, you have the artist's full attention. You don't feel like just another cheap tattoo. All the artists have been great. We love Mark and are looking forward to getting work done with Phil and Lexi as well. Don't hesitate to check this shop out! read more

My sister and I have been wanting to get matching tattoos for several years now and finally were in the same town at the right time and decided to get it done! Gypsy Rose came highly recommended so we called to see if they could get us in. They were accommodating and courteous, able to get us in last minute, and we were greeted with enthusiasm when we walked through the door. I was tattooed by Mark and he was wonderful! He took the time to work with me on the piece and helped me choose the perfect design for the space we were working with. He listened to what I wanted and took the time to make sure it was right. This was my first tattoo and I cannot recommend this shop and artist highly enough. They are kind, respectful, and so much fun, the shop is very clean and safe, and the work they do is incredible. Thank you to Mark and everyone at The Gypsy Rose for making my experience so great. read more

I love this place--clean, professional, warm, and welcoming. Ive been tattooed by Mark and Lexy, and highly recommend them both! (My 6th, 7th, and 8th tattoos) Lexy just crawls right into my brain and is able to create EXACTLY what I'm envisioning. She has a great sense of humor, loves feedback on the designs of pieces, and is a mind blowing artist. One day after just the first session of my second piece by her, I've already had three people ask me for her card! Her illustrative work is out of this world, and she's super quick and light handed. I have no idea how she does it--she's truly a tattoo wizard! Mark fixed up a very old cruddy brown tattoo of mine with line and stippling work, and it's really exceptionally done. The set up of the shop is also awesome--waiting area with flash and portfolios is slightly separate from the books where you get tattooed, so you don't feel like you're on display while getting work done. They offer you water, and all the staff and artists are great. I can't say enough great things about this shop! read more

I've had two tattoos done here, both walk-ins, and everyone there was a pleasure to work with. The shop is clean and the atmosphere around the shop is great. read more

Today my best friend and I wanted to get matching tattoos. We walked in and were immediately greeted. The staff we dealt with were so nice and welcoming. The work they did on both myself and my friend was great! We loved our experience! Kudos to this shop. Many thanks! read more

I was a walk-in late in the day with a couple of friends, and we all got tattoos. The guys could not have been any nicer, professional and talented even though it was near closing time. Dominic did my tattoo - a basic tattoo of my mom's signature with a heart. His line work is impeccable. It's perfect, and I'm so, so happy with it. read more

Thank you guys so much for getting me in so quick and making my memorial tattoo come out so great! You guys were so nice and reasonable also! will definitely be going back! read more

I walked in knowing that I wanted a tattoo, and had a few ideas in mind. Lloyd got me right in and I'm so happy with his work! He was very friendly and personable. He did such a good job for such a reasonable price too! This tribute to my grandmother is my favorite tattoo yet! read more

Gypsy Rose Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was referred to Lloyd to clean up a bad tattoo I got in Vegas. When I went in he wisely advised the tattoo was not healed enough so I asked him if he could do a new tattoo on my other arm. All I can say is Lloyd is an amazing artist. He took my very basic idea and created a tattoo that I never could have imagined. From just talking to me, observing my jewelry and the various pictures I showed him he brought to life a tattoo that represents the wonderful things my grandparents gave me - my grandfather gave me a love of appaloosa horses and both of my grandmother's gave me a love of Native American jewelry. Without telling Lloyd this he put both of my greatest memories of my grandparents into my tattoo. Thank you Lloyd - you are amazing. read more

Completely disappointed. I came into the shop with my girlfriend (who was also getting work done) and it was obvious being a lesbian couple made the kid who was supposed be tattooing us uncomfortable. He was rude and unprofessional never even introducing himself before taking me back to see the stencil after a 40 minute wait. I have 28 tattoos and have worked in customer service for many years so nothing about this experience is new to me I know what to expect. After three (completely silent) failed attempts to place the stencil he became abrasive when I suggested he might not be the correct artist for me to work with being that I was extremely uncomfortable and he seemed to have no interest in tattooing me anyways. The owner came over to ask what was going on then rolled his eyes and laughed at the kid when he explained the scenario, needless to say I left with a partial stencil and a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I came to Phoenix for a weekend and at random decided I would get a tattoo. I allowed my gps to guide me and it led me to Lloyd at Gypsy Rose. I knew exactly what I wanted, but I couldn't really explain it. Somehow he got it and made it happen. This tattoo is very near and dear to me! I'm happy that with my lack of details he was able to do more than I expected. I was nervous (as if I was new to this) and he totally talked me through it, which put my mind at ease. Before I knew it, it was done and perfect! I definitely recommend him! -Seahawks fan read more

Cover up tattoo by Lloyd this week... I love it, it's better than I imagined it could be! Lloyd is a true artist who just started drawing and reworking the piece until it was amazing! read more

Got to Gypsy Rose at 5:00 this evening for the Friday the 13th special with a friend. Called ahead and Was told the wait time would be approximately 45 minutes, maybe sooner. After waiting 2 hours we inquired to see where they were at on the schedule and was told it would be another 2 hours. We were willing to wait, but after checking in once more we were told it would be another 2 hours, as they were still catching up on people from 3:00 this afternoon. Needless to say if their scheduling is any indication as to how the shop is run, avoid at all costs. read more

Clean, Professional and a great central location. The tattoo artists were all very professional and very helpful at answering questions about the tattoo process. I have numerous tattoos, that I have received from various different tattoo shops around the country, and I would rank Gypsy Rose as one of the top shops I have ever been to. I came in with a very basic idea of a picture I wanted and Lloyd was able to draw up exactly what I was envisioning. This really is a great shop. read more

I went into this shop already expecting good things because my fiancé already goes to see Lloyd. And when I was done I was even more happy than I thought I was going to be initially.. Lloyd is a true artist. I came in with what I wanted and he took the picture and drew up something for me. When I came in the next day I was so stoked to see that what he'd drawn up was exactly what I wanted and more. He was super chill during the entire tattoo, and everybody there that I came into contact were really nice, easy going and professional. I definitely recommend gypsy rose tattoo to anyone looking to get some work done. read more

I had my first tattoo done by Chris at Gypsy Rose Tattoo. He was very meticulous and I love the end result. This place was recommended to me by a friend of mine and I'm glad I took her recommendation. read more

Gypsy Rose Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is amazing! They were the only shop who would still my sister and I, even though we got a late start on Friday the 13th. The staff was super friendly, especially since we had to wait due to the popularity of the event. I was tattooed by Wyatt, who was a dream! He was so fun to talk to and did an awesome job-I'm so happy! I can't wait to head back to get more ink! read more

Walked in on a Friday afternoon without an appointment and Mark was able to accommodate me. He was so welcoming and approachable. The other artist that was working was also super friendly. Mark was clear that he would do my tattoo however I wanted but was kind enough to give his professional opinion on placement and size. I am so happy with my experience and tattoos. read more

I came in and got tattooed by Lloyd who is literally one of the nicest guys around. I called just hoping for a consultation and ended up being a walk-in that same day. This was my first time being there, and it's a nice, clean shop. I came in right after work and was a little concerned because I wore a dress that hits well above my knees and was going to be getting a traditional butterfly tattooed on my the back of my calf. Basically, I wasn't wearing the most appropriate outfit to be laying on my stomach in. Before I even had a chance to say anything he already had a sheet brought in and kept me covered while I laid down and he tucked me in snug as a bug to make sure I was well covered. Never once did I feel uncomfortable. My tattoo came out perfect and was just what I was looking for. Clean lines, and bold color. As they say, bold will hold. And if your tattooer is recommending an outline on your tattoo, they are doing you a favor and you will be thanking them in 10 years. Just saying. read more

I love this shop if traditional tattoos are your preference stop by gypsy rose my artist mark has done 8 tattoos on me every single one awesome and highly detailed if you want a great solid tattoo stop by this shop and ask for my main man mark! read more

See all

We weren't able to get an appointment here during the overly hyped Friday 13th special, but the guy working (I'm sorry I didn't catch your name) came out and told us where we might could find other places to go and wished us good luck. Really nice guy even under stressful conditions and a line of people wrapped around the building. read more

So getting gas one day i look up, and see this sticker for Gypsy Rose Tattoo. Since i have what is called Tattoo Fever, i took that as a sign that i needed to get my tattoo now! So searching Yelp for tattoos i make sure to look up this cool place named Gypsy Rose Tattoo, and all i see is 5 stars, 5 stars, 5 stars... you get the picture. I was impressed and so i decided to email them and check them out. Lloyd the kick ass owner got back to me quickly and told me to come on in. Fast forward to my appointment date where i was a bundle of nerves and excitement and Lloyd's calm and genuine personality calmed me down. The atmosphere and design of the shop was aesthetically pleasing and very clean. The tattoo itself was an addition and cleaning up job. I had received a horrid tattoo that i was never happy with and i needed Lloyd to pull off a miracle. During the tattoo LLoyd was very mindful of me and took enough breaks to make sure i was doing well. The pain was tolerable but even in that, Lloyd made sure to ease any discomfort i might have had. I have never enjoyed getting a tattoo more. I have to say i wasn't expecting Lloyd to be able to pull off the miracle of making this tattoo as beautiful as i saw in my head, but he exceeded my expectations. Lloyd the Miracle worker. I am so in love with my tattoo, like we are all supposed to be after getting ink. I will recommend this place and the coolest owner Lloyd to anyone. If you are wanting a beautiful piece of ink and want to hang out with a super cool guy, go to Gypsy Rose Tattoo and go see Lloyd. He is my go to for ink, i'm already planning on my next one. read more

I got tattooed both times by Sam and he did a pretty good job and I'm happy with what I got. Both were custom pieces and he hit the target on what I wanted each time. read more

I cannot say enough good things about everyone at Gypsy Rose! Phoenix is truly lucky to have Lloyd and crew in it's backyard. Please, don't bother going anywhere else-they got you. Thank you to all staff and see you in a couple weeks! read more

After reading a couple reviews and finding the Gypsy Rose Tattoo shop right around from my place i decided to go check it out with an idea in mind of what i wanted. Once i arrived they were still getting ready to open up but welcomed me inside. I also had the pleasure of meeting Lloyd the owner and artist of Gypsy Rose. Now this was my first tattoo and not that it matter but the fact that Lloyd did my first piece made it a much easier process. I would recommend this place to any one who has been thinking about getting a tattoo. read more

I wen to these guys to get a tattoo today. The place is clean and comfortable. The artists are great and so fantastic work. Mark did mine and I couldn't be more pleased. He took my idea and made a piece of art. I highly recommend Gypsy Rose and am already having another piece drawn up. read more

So one day i'm pumping gas and i look up and see this sticker... Gypsy Rose Tattoo. It so happened that i have whats called Tattoo fever and so i thought i most definitely need another one. I went on Yelp and searched tattoo shops and since i adored the name, Gypsy Rose i had to see what kind of reviews there were. 5 Stars everywhere, i was sold. I emailed them and Lloyd the kick ass owner got back to me quickly and told me to come on in. Fast forward to the appt and i was a bundle of nervous excitement and Lloyd's easy demeanor and laid back attitude was calming. The place itself was beautiful and clean. Lloyd looked happy to be there and his personality is extremely genuine and awesome. The tattoo i was getting was actually fixing up an old tattoo that i had always hated. I asked him to add a few new items and see if he could make it more feminine and beautiful like i had always wanted. While tattooing Lloyd was mindful of me and was focused on what he was doing. He took a couple of breaks and gave me time to acclimate to the tattoo since it was a 3 hour tattoo. Since the tattoo i had originally was so awful i wasn't expecting him to be able to perform any miracles.....but that is exactly what he did. He changed my ugly swan tattoo into a beautiful garden. I am in love with my tattoo like the way you are supposed to be. I have officially found my tattoo artist and recommend this place to anyone. I have nothing but high praises for Lloyd and Gypsy Rose Tattoo. I'm already planning my next one and i know that by going to Gypsy Rose Tattoo i will not be disappointed. read more

I've gotten three tattoos done by Lloyd and I love all of them. His shop is 45 mins from my house and I drive it every time because I know he will deliver a great tattoo and experience. Each time I've been to gypsy rose Lloyd is always friendly and makes you feel at home. When I get to the shop I tell him what I want and we sit down together while he draws it out. He gives me his honest opinion about placement and size each time. I love gypsy rose and will continue to get my tattoos here. :) read more

I went on Friday The 13th for their $13 special because I had been craving a new tattoo for quite some time. Needless to say they were super busy and despite constantly being interrupted by people who wanted to know when they would get their turn they remained very polite and professional. I showed up around 6:30 PM and filled out my paper work and when 9PM came around, I became one of the annoying people and asked where my place was in line because I wanted to get something to eat, they gladly told me that I had plenty of time. So I left and returned a little over an hour later. Around 11PM they called my name and I was greeted by Mark who, despite doing $13 tattoos for who knows how many hours, was in high spirits and thanked me for my patience and for waiting multiple times. I was happy I was getting a tattoo so I didn't care how long I had to wait. After 15 minutes it was over and not only do I have a great tattoo of a cactus, but I got a chance to watch the latest season of Trailer Park Boys while I was waiting. It was an all around great experience! I went here just to get a cheap tattoo but because of their customer service, I will continue to go there. read more

I started coming to this shop a few months ago and I've been getting work done by Wyatt. He does such an AMAZING job every time I go in! The shop owner, Lloyd, and the other artists are so awesome too! I will always recommend them to anyone looking to get tattooed! You won't be disappointed :-) read more

this is the best place to go especially if you like traditional. I got my first tattoo here and it was an awesome experience
