I've gotten 4 tattoos (thus far) from Jason and they have all been great experiences. Super sanitary, personable and does great line work. He is a jack of all trades really as far as styling and you can check out some of his work on instagram @jasonbegaytattoo He also did a great coverup for my mom! He takes pride in his work and very open with communication as far as placement, likelihood of fading and aftercare. Great for a first timer. read more

Danny is the ONLY tattoo artist I'll ever trust!He is talented, professional and knowledgeable. The shop itself is decorated so well and I love hoe each artist has their own room with their own decorations. It helps you get to know them better! They have products available for sale but never push you into buying extra stuff you don't need. read more

Love & Hate Tattoo And Piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My partner had a Friday off today & it happens to be a Friday the 13th so we stopped in after looking at their social media promoting flash tattoos today. The shop opened at noon & we arrived at 12:20. I was extra intrigued that 13% goes to local harm reduction programs, from their Instagram posts, so it seemed like a good idea. We didn't expect to be immediately given service or anything but wanted more details on who would be available today. When we walked in, we said hello to the man at the front desk & said happy Friday - to no response, not even a hello. So I awkwardly started looking at the flash artwork since I felt like we weren't welcome. My boyfriend asked very politely if there were any artists available today & he responded very bluntly that only two artists were available for the day. He didn't offer any options for their artwork & didn't provide any other details beyond that. So when I asked if the flash artwork I was looking at was available & he again, very rudely said "these two artists are the only ones available today".... Again, while offering no other details or even giving us the option to make an appointment. It was extremely confusing bec he didn't seem to want to give us any information beyond that - like I'd like to see the artwork of the artists that are available then?? I felt VERY awkward, unwelcome & uncomfortable so we left. Probably won't come back despite some of the flash artwork from Sam & Mira looked really cool. Unfortunately the lack of hospitality from the front desk made it one of the shortest & most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had in a tattoo shop. No needles were even involved. read more

Love love love this shop. Danny is My tattoo guy for life. Amazing shop..Amazing work. Almost done with a total sleeve and couldn't be happier. Trinity is amazing also but I have to be faithful to my artist. I promise if you go once you'll be hooked!!! I dare you to!!! read more

10/10 tattoo shop, I met one of the artists Trinity at a convention and she has been my go to ever since to get my tattoos!!! Everyone at the shop is very supportive and friendly. I always look forward to coming in and talking to all the artists :). If you're looking for an artist I highly recommend Trinity because she is absolutely amazing! read more

kind of rude, they are on the newspaper ad saying 7am open time. They were not. Seen an employee walk in with donuts lol. I called, just wanted to make sure I'm not wasting my time or when to actually be there, no response. Part of your job is dealing with questions or people very rude to just pretend we're not there when you see us. read more

I have been coming to this tattoo shop for over 19 years and the staff is wonderful. The work is exquisite. I was in the east coast for 6 years and waited to be back in Phoenix to get my new work done here read more

Danny and this shop came recommended to me by a friend, and I am so grateful I went with them. He is talented and efficient, and I am so happy with the art. The shop is clean and everyone is kind and welcoming. read more

I've I've personally known Danny Ross and been familiar with his shop for almost decade. He runs one of the oldest shops in Phoenix, with incredibly high standards for keeping the shop clean and having other super talented artists on sight for walk-ins.. Having been a tattoo model in the industry, I have to say he is not the stereotype!!! A few years ago I started reworking all my bad tattoos, starting with this zombie pinup I'd gotten years ago. Not only was she incredibly messed up but it was in my worst spot! Well, the end result was gorgeous! I love the colors, how he restyled her look, gave her a beautiful expression and now you can actually tell she's a corpse! Danny really listened to me and I loved her so much, I also had him draw a custom carousel horse for my other calf. Now my entire back and most of both of my legs are his art work and I just love them! read more

Amazing spot. I called them to see if they had time for a walk in and was able to come in right away. Primo took his time and his artwork and personal work is amazing. The customer service and attention to detail and cleanliness was unmatched and better than service I've had done for any other tattoo in the past. I will 10000% be back and would say if you're on the fence or looking at other spots, come here and see Primo, you won't regret it. read more

Came in at 7pm on Friday the 13th to take advantage of the flash tattoo deal that was being offered. Upon entering and speaking to the staff at the front desk, was informed that there was about a 3.5 hour wait, filled out the release information and was then informed that the shop would be calling when there were 2-3 people in front of us. Called again around 12am to check on the status and was informed that there were 4 people ahead of us. Showed up to the tattoo shop shortly after 1am and was rudely told that "it's past 1 everyone left". It was explicitly mentioned that we were allowed to leave and that we would be called when it was time. Was also explicitly told that they would "tattoo until everyone on the list was done". Will not be coming back in the future. This company did not uphold what they promised, and were extremely rude and off putting. read more

Primo completed three smaller sized tattoos a few weeks ago and they've healed BEAUTIFULLY! He is literally the best tattoo artist I've ever had. He's so patient, efficient, and genuinely nice. Everyone in the shop is also friendly, it's extremely clean, and it was an overall great experience. Definitely recommend!! read more

Amazing people! So kind and the vibes are positive and perfect! They make you feel comfortable and professional

Worst experience ever!!! I came in for a tattoo and I told trinity or wtvr her name was what tattoo I wanted and she showed me and it looked good on the paper but clearly does not know how to do thin line like I asked! Some spots looked faded and other lines looked thicker than other spots. Charged more than it was worth! Posted this on regular review, I want to warn everyone else so they don't get scammed or messed up tattoos read more

WORST tattoo I've ever had! Met these guys at a tattoo convention in LA. They appeared to know what they were talking about & doing, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The lines weren't straight, the colors were not what I wanted, and somehow the final price was not what we spoke about. Basically, I got the tatt covered up over 3 more sessions with an artist I know & trust, and to say the least, I learned my lesson the hard way. Make sure you know who your dealing w/before you make a perminent decision such as a tattoo. Their name says it all, you'll either love or hate this place. I couldn't HATE it more if I tried... I'll post the horrific pics, check back read more

Me and my husband called last minute to see if they take walk ins and they told us to come on in. Ryan tattooed both of us and was a very friendly guy! The shop was clean. Quality tattoos. Great conversations were had. I would recommend Love and Hate to anyone! read more

This is my first yelp review ever and I'm writing to give credit where it is due. Recently got a GREAT custom tattoo from Danny Ross. I came in with some reference materials and he ran with it, freehanding most of the tattoo right on my back. I was flexible with some design aspects but he was really good at taking my input and making sure I got my "must-have's" in the piece. Tattoo took four sessions and I tipped well, so it wound up costing a little more than I anticipated. But ultimately worth every penny. (See photo - Jungle chick w/ skulls) Staff was friendly and vibe in the shop was as professional as you can get in a tattoo parlor. Overall highly recommended! read more

I was visiting AZ for my sisters bachelorette party and we (group of 4) wanted to get tattoos last minute. We called a bunch of places and finally we decided because of Pete. My sister called and talked to him on the phone and after seeing pictures of his work, we were sold. He was SO accommodating and so helpful. We had little changes here and there and he didn't get upset or annoyed. He wanted to make sure he got it exactly how we wanted while still being upfront about placement, sizing, and what he as an artist was willing to do to ensure we could have the best possible outcome. We got matching birth flower tattoos for our kids and he helped guide us while still following exactly what we wanted. All of us left so happy with our tattoos. I highly highly recommend him ESPECIALLY for American traditional. He's got beautiful work, clean lines, and a great attitude. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Arizona. Thank you Pete! read more

I told myself I was going to wait at least a week to review Love and Hate Tattoo Parlor. Let my new tattoo heal up and show it off a little. Besides, it was just last night after work that I'd gotten my new ink. Alas, it appears my self-discipline is at an all time low, and less than 24 hours after walking out of L&H, here I am on Yelp. Sharing the love. Because, honestly, there's nothing I could think about hating on with this tattoo parlor. The time line that brought me to this point is rather lengthy. A little over a month ago, I rolled out of work early, caught a movie then decided I wanted to get my third tattoo. After finding some tats online, I decided I would follow through with it. A quick Yelp search directed me to L&H. When I showed what I wanted to have done and where on my body, the guy at the desk quickly grabbed one of the artist's portfolios, flipped through and showed me one of the exact same tattoos I saw online (but not cross referenced with L&H). Instantly, I knew this artist *had* to be the one to do this for me. However, with my work schedule and his availability, June 21 was the soonest I could make an appointment. In the month that followed, I started explaining to my friends what I envisioned and each of them appeared just as eager as myself to see the end results. Fast forward to last night, and Eric is referencing color copies of bacon and another tattoo from which I generated my initial concept, while using colored markers to sketch out how the basic tattoo will turn out. Honestly, at this point I would have been happy with just the marker tattoo (although I'm sure Eric would grow tired of me coming back every other day to have it redrawn). After a quick run through to outline where each color would be, Eric then moved on to the actual filling in. Throughout the two hour process, other artists who heard about this custom tattoo checked out the progress. By the time Eric completed his work, I sported one of the most unique and personalized tattoos I've ever seen. Even as it's wrapped in saran wrap to help the colors settle, I keep looking at it, admiring what will soon become my signature ink. Meanwhile, earlier this morning I sent out photos I took with my phone halfway through the process to a few of my coworkers. All are excited to see this, even the VP in Flagstaff (who I didn't intent to see this, but it's out of the bag now). read more

A few years back I went for an L.A. dodgers sign. They charged me around $70. The guy showed me the design on paper and I said it was ok just to have it outlined and then pepper shade on the outside. When he was done it wasn't what he showed me. I remember him telling me "hey if you need a touch up or fix come back" wtf? lol why would you need to redo it unless you f****d up. I left and went back to L.A. I come back and forth between phoenix and L.A. Today I found the place and went to talk to them to fix it or give me my money back. I don't care if it was a long time ago. The guy says there's a new owner and he doesn't remember a guy with the description I gave him. To fix the tattoo they f****d up in the first place was going to cost me $130. No thanks..I rather go to West Side Tattoos. I recommend them especially for black and grey urban style tattoos. I will upload the tattoo they did of my L.A. My real rating is -0 but the lowest is 1 star. -Tattoo slanted -Lines not same size all around -Shading not what was requested -Shading done poorly read more

This is the ONLY place I get tattooed. Over the past 14 months, I've been getting tattooed by the amazing Meg McNiel. When I say amazing, I mean amazing! We initially started with a half-sleeve on my right arm, however I was so quickly impressed that this progressed into a whole right arm sleeve, and now yet another sleeve on my left arm. I am there so often that I joke L&H is my "home away from home". That is, the home where I get all sorts of radness hooked up! I get stopped constantly (e.g. grocery stores, doctors office, seriously the barista at Starbucks made 6 people in line) asking where I get my awesome ink at. Go get tattooed here, no matter what kind of style you're looking for they have someone there who can meet (and will no doubt *exceed*) your needs. The shop is always clean and friendly, and there is always someone there willing to help and answer and questions.I've also had both my tragus pierced here (I took a friend with me and she had both anti-tragus done) by John Vitez and we both left happy. A very good friend of mine also recently had a fantastic portrait done by Danny Ross. Several other tattoo shops turned this tattoo down saying it "wasn't possible to tattoo". Danny proved that those other shops were full of crap. My buddy's piece turned out amazing as well! I am a customer for life! read more

Their most recent addition to their tattoo artist roster is Mike Bergfalk. He is currently tattooing my wifes entire arm with the most Ernst Haeckel jellyfish and coral. His line work is some of the best i have seen and his colors are bright and brilliantly shaded. He has also tattooed my side with a very large Greg Simkins sketch. The shop is very nice, clean and the other artists and piercers are helpful, friendly, professional and informative. read more

I have been to several different tattoo parlors, been tattooed by a couple different artist but by far my best experience is with Love and Hate. I got a tattoo from Danny Ross and he is the most talented, yet humble, artist I have ever met. I am very specific on size, color, script, and I wanted my roses to look realistic. He is so patient and took the time to make sure we were on the same page and I was happy. My tattoo came out better than I even thought possible. Danny is a true artist. The staff was so nice and fun. The talent in that shop is unreal!! Really great people!! It is a very relaxed, yet professional enviroment. read more

Extremely cool personal. Stenciled a couple times until just right. Going old school as Danny pit it and did a stencil by Hand!! Danny Ross is the man when it comes to portraits. Very good at seeing the little things and imagining the vision when you give him an idea. Will be going back very soon to finish my half sleeve of Icons. Very clean and professional throughout the entire process. 2 thumbs up. Will add a photo once I get a friend to take it. Hard angle to get a slammin' picture. read more

I wanted to get my first tattoo at the same time my daughter got her first tattoo. We researched all the tattoo shops in Flagstaff. Talked to as many people as we could and decided on Avail. The shop was comfortable, clean and easy to find on Route 66. The artist did a great job answering or questions and making us feel at home. They were very friendly great guys to talk to. The tattoos look fabulous!! Great work I would highly recommend this shop and will be going back some day soon. read more

Love & Hate Tattoo And Piercing - Sorry it's backwards, taken in the mirror. - Tattoo Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is a world class tattoo shop. The artists are all professional, experienced tattooers catering to all styles of art. Custom by appointment or walk-ins all all treated with respect and receive the best care you could ask for. The shop is clean and sterile with a fishbowl view of the sterilization facility so you can see clearly that safety and cleanliness are top notch. I've been getting tattooed by Mike for a few years now and his work is impeccable. He'll be completing my mostly done full sleeve this summer, and I highly recommend him. Great artists, great atmosphere, great location... you can't ask for much more out of a tattoo shop. Once you get ink here you won't want to go anywhere else. There are no bargain basement tattoos here, only the highest standards of quality and service. There is no such thing as a good cheap tattoo, so get it done right the first time at Love and Hate. Browse the artists' portfolios and prepare to be impressed. Expect to spend $120 an hour, and you'll be glad you did. read more

Walked in without an appointment on a Thursday and with my own design and walked out a couple hours later with a lovely new scroll work around my forearm by Tony (who had some excellent tunes on shuffle btw). The shop is relaxed. Staff was friendly and unpretentious. They have all the artist portfolio's up front for you to browse through. They had a tv in the waiting room and lots of tattoo magazines and the like as well as some tattoo flash, body jewelry, and merchandise to look through. I felt very comfortable from beginning to end and as a result would recommend the shop and artist to my friends. I'll be returning for more ink soon. read more

Love this shop. Currently getting a %100 custom half sleeve from Danny Ross. I've had a few sessions and the shop is always clean and everyone there is very welcoming. Danny took his time to talk to me about what I wanted to do, he added his input and worked WITH me to create the perfect piece. I've never felt rushed or pressured into getting work I wasn't totally sold on. I have a bit more to go on my arm before I can start my next at this shop.... Check out the shop and you will be very pleased!! read more

Have gotten two tattoos from Jason and could not be any more pleased with his work. The atmosphere is great and everyone is very friendly. Excited to get my third! read more

Meg is a no-bull artist which is exactly what I needed. I had a bad tattoo and she fixed it. I won't go into what all she had to do but it was her way or the highway...a bit scary but the results rocked. Now I have learned when she tells me what will and won't look good....I don't hesitate. She would be a perfect for your first time tattoo-you won't go wrong-she would not let any bad art leave her shop. So don't shop ....go straight to her and she will give you a work of art that you will be proud of forever. read more

Both of my tattoos were done here so I don't have experience with other tattoo parlours, as an FYI. My first is on my left forearm and was done by Christopher Robin. Anyway, I brought in the design and he was super nice and made sure I was comfortable, as it was my first tattoo. My mother got her first right after and he designed it in 5 minutes and it looks awesome. Very professional, clean, had a light hand, and recommended. My second tattoo was larger and a little more complicated, on the left side of my lower back. Sadly, I don't remember the guys name but he was also really nice and made sure I was ok in the areas the tattoo really hurt. Also very clean and professional with a light hand. I would totally recommend this place for anyone in Phoenix looking to get a tattoo. Ask for Jason or Chris if they're available. read more

One of the best and most artistic shops in The Valley, everyone here is great and actually know a lot about art in general which helps a lot with the creative process. Everyone here is amazing at what they do, Danny Ross (the owner) did my work and he has some awesome talent. Also he's super creative and knows what you're going for, which I find is hard for some artists, most just want picture to copy. Highly recommend to check this place out. Also their shop is awesome inside, it's like a small oddities museum. read more

Experienced piercers who only use the highest quality, American made jewelry, will guide you through the entire process and then offer a free check up to ensure a happy, healthy, piercing. Jewelry gets sterilized as you're filling out paperwork, so it goes directly from their Statim autoclave, into your body. There are also several talented artists who specialize in many different styles of tattooing. Whatever you're looking for, this is the place to go! read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Had my ear lobes pierced (at an 8 gauge) by Torin. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of my questions. He used freaking calipers to make sure he had centered the marks before piercing! I would highly recommend for any of your piercing needs. Just make sure to call ahead, since his schedule is slightly different from the shop's schedule. read more

Professional. Client-oriented, respectful, and easy-going. Encouraging on phone, walked-in, got what I got, walked-out. Place is done up authentic with all the trappings of a fine establishment. North side of McDowell, with entrence on left (or west) side of building. This review was filtered out 2 days after posting. Whatever read more

I'm new to the area and I was wanting something super specific. After stopping by shop after shop and having them tell me to look through portfolios and pick someone I liked, Love & Hate was the first and only shop to recommend an artist that would be best for the piece I wanted. Kye did an incredible job with my gangster otter and my experience there was one of the best. Clean facility, great environment, everything about this place is perfect! read more

Love & Hate Tattoo And Piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Danny was my tattoo artist and he's absolutely amazing. I came to him with a general idea of what I wanted and a few pictures that I had found. He helped me choose the best image that would fit and work well on my body and he added a little accent and finishing touches to it that I would have never thought of. I had two sessions with him and this was my first tattoo ever. He was very nice and took a few breaks throughout the sessions which was just the right amount for me. He's an amazing artist and a very cool person. Had great conversation with him, he made me comfortable and I was really confident in his abilities. The shop was super clean and professional and all the staff were very friendly and funny. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo done! read more

I had a girlfriend visiting from Seattle, the town of tattoos and she wanted to have one done in Phoenix. We randomly stopped in Love and Hate for a consult and this is where the amazing night started. Tattoo artist Kye d Created a custom drawing of what my friend was looking for and his drawing. Blew us away,! Way better Jan her original design she brought in ! Kye was so professional, fun, and fast! I had been flirting with the idea of getting a tattoo for years and showed Kye a sketch of a compass rose. Now I was a tattoo virgin and nervous!! He customized my sketch, offered a great price. And off to the tattoo chair I went ,,, all the guys in the place are so professional , fun, and talented ! From the sweet sailor scheduler guy( so sorry I forgot his name !!!) to the owner Danny who was a cool dude. I highly recommend these guys not only for great art but for a fun memorable experience ! Thank you Love and Love .....I mean hate ;) read more

I had initially walked into the shop with my friend looking to get a piercing. Their piercer wasn't in so I sat in with my friend while she got her scripture done. While Levi, her artist, was getting everything set up we were talking about tattoos and what I had wanted in the future. I told him my idea for a bow above my wrist and he drew up a sketch really quick to give me an idea of what he could do. I really liked it and thought it over as my friend was getting her tattoo. Fast forward to when her tattoo was finished, I had made up my mind that I wanted one. He was more than happy to do the bow I wanted and spent a little while re-sketching it to get all of the details done. It was my first tattoo and I was really nervous about it but he was really cool about it. He helped me relax and was talking to me though the whole thing. I saw the finished project and was in love. Of course, I'm super picky and saw a few mistakes where the line wasn't straight but I was fidgety during the tattoo so I was partially to blame. It was an overall great experience. A little pricey but there's no good cheap tattoos. It was a very professional environment. Everything was clean and the staff were all super friendly. Levi did an amazing job keeping me calm and was an overall great guy. Good taste in music, great sense of humor and full of great ideas. I will definitely go back when I decide what I want my next tattoo to be and get it semi sketched out. read more
