    Japanese traditional double koi and chrysanthemum sleeve by Mark Walters
    Austin R.

    I recently completed a sleeve on my left arm with Mark. It's a very detailed double koi and chrysanthemum piece. Mark, the owner, is extremely knowledgable about every aspect of tattooing and how to put together a great tattoo that fits your body perfectly. I started this process several months ago, and Mark's skills and input have been very valuable throughout the last few months. Each session is very intentional and speaks to his 32+ years of experience. Fast, but precise and efficient. The shop is surgically clean. They take tattoo hygiene and sanitation extremely seriously, which made me much more comfortable throughout the several sessions needed to complete my sleeve. One of the only shops to use an autoclave for extra sterilization. Living Canvas surpassed my expectations and is miles ahead of any competitors. This sleeve turned out better than I expected. I am a customer for life!

    Ink from Andrew

    Came in for a quick "flash" ended living w this badass piece. Cool peeps, good ink, fair prices. Don't know why it took me years to finally come in and check the place out.

    and this was my friends for his mom!

    My friend and I both got tattoos done by Shawna today and they turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Would 10/10 recommend living canvas tattoos for the atmosphere and professionalism and especially recommend Shawna for line work and floral work! She was amazing to work with and super fun to chat with.

    The tattoo under the car is from Alex

    Gotta give it to Alex. I went yesterday for a spine tattoo, and Alex was so patient and nice. I had a few tears (was just emotional and tattoos hurt so the combo wasn't my smartest move) and Alex just talked to me and tried to keep my mind off of it. Thank you Alex!

    I got my first tattoo here, I was hesitant but they helped me to feel comfortable during the process. The place is clean and very professional looking. I highly recommended this place if you want to get a tattoo.

    4th piercing

    I decided i wanted my 4th piercing and picked a random place to go, i got sooo lucky with my choice! I won't be going anywhere else for my piercings, super affordable but don't think the prices mean your experience will be less, I had the best experience here with the kindest lady, she made me feel so comfortable and welcomed and didn't make me feel rushed at all! Gave me all her professional advice and really cared about what was best for me while accommodating what i want, was super clean and professional as well as greeted me right away, piercing didn't hurt and has been healing amazing, will be going back for my conch in a couple of weeks! 10/10 recommend :) (completely forgot the piercers name unfortunately)

    Jenna is THE BOMB. Very professional, she worked with my design and did a beautiful job. I will be going back for more ~ I highly recommend this tattoo parlor. Excellent vibe, very clean, good people. I couldn't be more pleased.

    Tif was absolutely incredible! I got my first tattoo at a different shop and it wasn't the greatest experience, but I instantly felt welcomed and relaxed at Living Canvas. Tif was extremely kind and reassuring, not to mention insanely artistically gifted. I'm already recommending Tif and Living Canvas to everyone I know!

    If you need simple walk-in line work Alexis is your gal. Visiting from out of town and always had my hummingbird tat in mind. After visiting the Heard Museum I found the perfect style I wanted. The guy there DEFINITELY not a fan. Maybe his portfolio is great but damn, being from the midwest hospitality is key. This guy is considered an artist and as an artist/designer myself I told AND showed him line art/simplified version of this delicate Native American pot and he proceeded to have an annoying arrogant passive aggressive tone saying, "Wow that's simple to you?" Ass. Yes it is and Alexis delivered. Beautiful interior designed studio, clean, good music. One guy won't bother me coming here again but learn some customer service bro--and maybe some coffee and an eyeball for simple detail.

    Called them up to see if they could fit us in for piercings. Got in, got pierced. Got out. Very clean shop. Friendly employees. I'll definitely be going back for tats and piercings

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.
