    Visually Speaking Tattoo is the actual name of the tattoo shop and I specifically was tattooed by JohnnyRay. As with anyone shopping for a tattoo artist it can be stressful because it's permanent and we also want the best deal in town. First shop I have had work done by "appointment only". I know understand why. These guys are artist not just someone to tattoo you. The care and involvement with the desire for best work, placement and desire to commemorate why someone is getting the tattoo. In other words it wasn't about just tattooing what I wanted where I wanted but an actual process of learning why and suggesting placement and aesthetics. Something I appreciated. They weren't just after a sale but an experience to be treasured forever. The shop was clean, inviting and the bathrooms were also very clean. All safety measures were taken to prevent contamination. There was a lot of attention to detail with the set up as well as the work. JohnnyRay was very conscious of cleanliness and not once did I feel any cross contamination would occur. As far as the actual work. I cannot be more than happy with the results. He has surpassed my expectations and has easily gained a loyal customer. If your wondering about price well I got you. Before I agreed on the tattoo he did mention he priced with $150 hourly as the standard. I was hesitant at first but after it's all said and done I feel I just ripped him off. With that in mind he didn't drag out the work or purposely take longer for more pay. Yes I thought of that. Very fair pricing. Can't wait for the next. Truly a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Hope not soon or I won't be able to afford him. You will not be disappointed. Oh BTW they use Saniderm to cover the finished tattoo instead of plastic wrap I'm used to. No need to worry about keeping ointment or not getting wet etc on all the rules I'm used too. Now I just wait 5 days and peel. Interesting. We shall see Here is a quick up date on today's visit from the above last one. As always very professional. Outstanding customer service. The shop looks as clean and tidy as it did a year ago. I'll include some photos of today's session.

    Go see him!

    My girl has been to many tattoo galleries and this is by far the best. We drive from the white mountains to Mesa to get work done. If your looking for "budget" work look elsewhere if your looking for "professional" ink look no further! The guys at visually speaking are top notch... from the ink to the clean shop to the clean bathrooms! If your looking for great ink fot a fair price go see Ryan!

    It was okay! The setup was very clean and the artist was nice. I'm going to have to have someone touch up the tattoo because of the uneven umbrella panel and shakes lines on the circle though, which is a shame :/

    Johnny was able to capture everything I wanted for my husbands tattoo. I couldn't have bought a more beautiful piece of art than what he created.

    It took me way too long to get on here and leave a review, but here we go! So I had an epic time getting my very first tattoo at this shop. To start, I was blown away by all the art and pieces they had on their walls. Rey was such a cool guy! He helped me bring my vision for my first tattoo to life and I am absolutely ecstatic with the way it turned out. I will definitely be coming back for more!!

    I put out a request for a walk in at 2am and these guys responded quick. Had an idea of my own but came to an amazing conclusion in 15 minutes. Everyone there was easy to talk to too. For a first I thought this was a pretty damn sweet tattoo, I waited a few weeks to review because I wanted to see how it healed. I basically have little to no scarring and I didn't need to go back for any touch ups. Honestly love their ideas and work, highly recommend.

    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.

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.

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.
