First, I have to admit that I have been following Uncle Josh from one tattoo parlor to the next for 10 years of great tattoos. His undeniable skill for art and ink is astonishing and beautiful, you can view it everywhere when you enter the parlor. Second, I can't be happier that he is now located centrally from anywhere in the Valley but quite close to me. If you want good, clean and artistic work, this is the place to go! Not only do I love Uncle Josh, quite literally as we have become friends over these many years, but I have also had a few chances to meet Paul, The Italian Sparrow, to watch him draw or tattoo and who is also an amazing stand-up guy and fantastic artist. I can only do my best to express how highly I recommend both of these men, this very convenient location (not far off of the I-17 and Indian School Rd.) and the unbelievably open scheduling they accommodate. A few weeks ago I sat through a grueling back piece, by far the biggest I've gotten to date, that Uncle Josh not only sat through with me for the hours it took him to complete it but he chatted with me, coached me through the pain of that moment and gave me a lifelong piece of art I will love always. *For you new-to-tattoo folks, it doesn't hurt anymore, at all. I will always recommend Uncle Josh especially, Paul the Italian Sparrow, and Lost Dutchman Tattoo Parlor to anyone interested in a first time tattoo, a new tattoo or a cover up tattoo. Go where you know you are getting the best, that's at Lost Dutchman Tattoo! read more

I came with my sister (who highly recommended Josh) to her tattoo appointment. After my sister's sitting, Josh (the owner) was willing to do my tattoo despite my not having an appointment. We had a brief consultation and I felt comfortable with the process. After consulting pictures of flowers for reference, Josh free handed my design on to get the flow of the piece. From the Sharpie lines on my arm, it was difficult to envision the final result. Through a roughed out sketch on my arm and a wickedly talented artist, a beautiful piece was born. I am so pleased with how my tattoo turned out! Josh is an amazing artist. The delicate lines, details and shading are exactly what I had pictured in my mind. Josh told us every tattoo is important to him and that definitely shows in his work. I am so happy with the artwork done at Lost Dutchman Tattoo. It is a great business with great people working there. I had a fantastic experience and I would recommend Josh to anyone seeking a tattoo. read more

Josh at Lost Dutchman Tattoo is amazing. I came in with a concept for my first tattoo, and he followed it to a T. He drew it up custom in an illustrative style, and wouldn't start the needlework until I gave full approval. All along the way he not only welcomed feedback, he regularly asked for it. Doing the actual tattoo, he was fast, but also extremely skilled. He perfectly matched the colors I showed him from an example. The best part of all were the great conversations we had while he worked, which distracted me from the pain. Finally, the value of his art not only surprised me, but everyone who I've shown since getting the tattoo. I'm very impressed with Josh's skill, and so is everyone else! I'll definitely be coming back! Kent read more

Angela Koscal is fantastic! I completely recommend her to anyone. She can do all different forms of tattoos, from portraits to realism. Angela has done a majority of the work I have had done, including a leg sleeve, two half sleeves on each arm and the majority of my back piece. She is great to work with as well. Every time I had brought something to her we work together to make it a masterpiece and it is just that once she is done with it. With her expansive knowledge and many years of experience, you really cannot go wrong with getting any type of work done with Angela. I know I will continue to get all my work done by her. read more

Uncle Josh and Angela are extremely friendly and professional. Definitely not the douche artist that can be intimidating to approach. I first spoke with Uncle Josh who then referred me over to Angela...I so appreciated that he wanted me to work with the best artist based on the type of tattoo I wanted! She made me feel comfortable while we collaborated and she assured me she wanted to help give me the best tattoo possible. What she gave me was a wicked portrait of my dog that I am so proud to show off! Uncle Josh worked with my daughter on her paw print and that came out fantastic, too! I am so grateful to have found my tattoo home! read more

I love this Shop. I was lucky enough to have custom work done By Sarah. She made me feel right at home and started working on my piece shortly after I arrived. The shop it's self is relaxed and very clean, I was comfortable from the second I walked in the door. Sarah did a amazing job on my tattoo, she was quick but also took her time to pay attention to the smallest details. Sarah is funny and upbeat while making sure I was doing ok and not in pain. I can't wait to get more stuff done in the future by her. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking for a great artist to visit Sarah and see what she can do for you. read more

For ages I have wanted an American Traditional tattoo. Beyond happy that Uncle Josh is the artist I found for the job. He took my basic idea and together we (mostly him) designed an amazing piece. In addition to being a fantastic artist his customer service is top notch. His laid back demeanor and relaxed style will put even the most nervous canvas at ease. The shop is freaking awesome - from the bordello style curtains to the swinging doors to the open studio floor to the plate of chocolate - everything is spot on. This is the place to go for your next tattoo. read more

As an older guy I was a little hesitant to get my first tattoo but Uncle Josh was really helpful and as two former sailors we had a lot to talk about while he worked on my shoulder piece. The shop is very clean and they take all the necessary safety precautions and as far as the art/work goes I think it speaks for itself. They take their time and make sure you are 100% on board with what they come up with before starting. When I finally work up the nerve to get another tattoo I will definitely be returning to Lost Dutchman and Uncle Josh. read more

Got my first tattoo here the other day based off of the other positive reviews from Yelp and couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I came in with an idea of what I wanted and just a few photos for reference. Angela was able to take my idea and drew a unique design that turned out exactly as I had wanted. Both Angela and Josh were super friendly from the moment I first contacted them and I could tell they really cared about providing me with a quality tattoo. read more

This shop is fantastic! Was sent to Uncle Josh by a friend and so happy I went! The shop is extremely clean. Uncle Josh is very calming, and informative. I got a wrist tattoo 12 years back and he did an amazing cover up for me. The original tattoo was meaningful, but poorly chosen and poorly done. Josh was able to hide all traces of the original with tattoo with something beaitiful and just as meaningful! I will be going back to him in the future for sure! read more

Josh fixed a guitar pic with lettering/logo inside it on my right forearm. He did such a great job fixing things up I went back for 3 more tattoos and absolutely love them. I already have plans for a 4th and flat out recommend Josh and Lost Dutchman to anyone looking for amazing artwork, great pricing, and an awesome atmosphere. You'll enjoy checking out the artwork on the walls and friendly chatter as you get your work done. Awesome place!!! read more

Uncle josh does an amazing job at making sure everything if perfect and makes sure you're satisfied with the sketch and the placing of the tattoo before he starts. He is very outgoing and makes sure you're 100% comfortable. The shop is very clean and friendly. I would highly recommend going there. Note: You will most likely be there for more than 2 hours as he wants everything to be perfect as he takes his time. Go see uncle josh!! read more

Wow, Great experience! Angela at the Lost Dutchman Tattoo is an amazing artist. The idea in my head was far surpassed by the artwork on my arm. She patiently adjusted the stencil until it was in the perfect spot. She took her time on all the detail and made sure I was comfortable throughout the session. The shop was clean, pleasant and fun to be in, made the time fly. I will definitely be back and referring my friends :) read more

Last night I got my second tattoo, a half sleeve this time, and I love it. Josh does fantastic work I love how this particular design lays on my arm. It wraps around the back of my shoulder not pictured) but isn't covered by my tank top, and one of the key elements of the design is all that is visible when I wear my work smock. Very happy with this and am excited for my next appointment to finish it :) read more

Uncle Josh is just amazing. I LOVE my tattoo. His work is impeccable and I am very, very impressed with his talents. I came in with an idea of what I wanted and he was able to turn it into an impressive piece of art that I proudly wear on my arm. I had a blast talking to him and can t wait to go back. Thank you Uncle Josh, you are truly talented! read more

I so recommend going to this shop... Uncle Josh is the best. You can go in with a picture , pick some thing from the wall, or come in with your own ideas. He's patient, he does amazing work and he actually listens to what you want. He does amazing work. I have lived in Arizona for 13 years now and finally feel like I found the best shop. read more

Paul and Uncle awesome people to talk with very welcoming and laid back when I stepped in the door. Great atmosphere. Paul did an awesome job to the start of my half sleeve! Will be going back this weekend to finish my half sleeve up! Good job guys! Will be getting more from from them very soon and in the future. read more

I had a wonderful experience here when I went to their tattoo fundraiser for March of Dimes a little while back. Paul is a very nice guy and I am looking forward to when I can go back down to the valley and get another tattoo from him! Very professional, very nice, and very solid work. read more

My boyfriend and I came in last week. He needed some work on an unfinished tattoo and I was interested in getting one too. Josh really took time to listen to what we were thinking and far exceeded our expectations by the time we left. I can't wait to go back for my next one! read more
