I am not a newcomer to tattoo parlors and I have a high bar based on my past experiences in different cities and countries over decades. To be a REPEAT customer at a tattoo/piercing parlor says it all. But what if that shop closes, due to the unforeseen events of 2020? You hope that you can follow your artist to his new home. I was pleased to find the same level of quality, cleanliness and CARE - and my Number One Artist, Aaron Dix, at his new location, Old West Tattoo. To carry on seamlessly at a new location shows a degree of experience and professionalism: Aaron knows this business and his art. The relationship of a client and their long-time tattoo artist is as binding as you and your therapist. I admire Aaron Dix for his knowledge: He KNOWS this art and the millions of references a tattoo artist draws from only after working with thousands of clients. If your friends suggest their favorite artist, ask them how long that artist has been in business? Is their tattooer an artist, or just someone copying flash? Aaron is a true artist. He will create YOUR tattoo and work with you until your design is right for you. Aaron is opinionated: He should be. He might tell you that piece you want just isn't suitable the way you imagine it. TRUST him. Trust Old West Tattoo. I have already scheduled my next session. This is an unsolicited review from a very satisfied customer. read more

I've been going to Aaron for my tattoos, and Cooley for my piercings since I first found this shop. They moved and changed names, and I'm glad they're still going and up and running!! The atmosphere is calm, and the people are amazing. Aaron, Owen, Joey, Sam, and Tayler, are all amazing artists, and amazing people. They're very talented! Drake, the tattoo apprentice is kind, and good at tattoos! Nick is always running around in the shop, and he's a genuinely good person and very helpful with whatever you need. Be it water or finding jewelry when Cooley is busy, he's there. Cooley has done almost all of my piercings since 2018, and I don't regret any of them. He's professional, and he does the piercing quickly and accurately. Taking good care of them with what he tells me to do, not a single piercing has gone wrong. Ana is a sweet lady, and a good piercer. Very professional. She pierced my tragus, and I love it. Old West Tattoo is amazing, with good people and good quality art and service! If you ever get the chance to stop by, take it! Hi read more

**** GREAT EXPERIENCE! **** My daughter and I decided to get a nose piercing together on 5/25/25. We went to Old West Tattoo at the recommendation from a friend. I am so glad that I chose to go to OLD WEST TATTOO. Ana was our piercer (we originally had an appointment with Nick, but we decided to go earlier and thus got Ana... So glad we had Ana (no disrespect to Nick- Lol). She was so awesome, answered all our questions and concerns... Made us feel at ease. Ana is straight up and tells you like it is.- NO HESITATION. I personally appreciate that! She has many years of experience and I totally trust her expertise. If you want any type of piercings- Ana is who you want! I have no doubt you will be pleased. Our first time at Old West was amazing, a clean and mad cool place, with real good people! No matter who or what you want to get done... THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! :-) read more

I recently visited Old West Tattoo to have the hardware for my rook piercing replaced, as it had fallen out. Cooley provided exceptional service, displaying gentleness, kindness, and a personable demeanor throughout the process. The shop itself was impeccably clean, and despite it being midday on a weekday, all four tattoo artists were actively engaged in giving people tattoos, reflecting a vibrant and bustling atmosphere. Overall, my experience at Old West Tattoo was not only efficient and professional but also enriched by the friendly and skilled staff, making it a place I would recommend for both piercing and tattoo services. read more

I've been getting tattoos and piercings from these guys for a while now (actually got my first tattoo and first non love piercing from them) and they've all come out better than I could've ever asked for. Everyone works very professionally but they leave a great casual environment that you'll always want to come back to. And their work is the best you can get. I love telling people where I get my piercings and tattoos and I get excited every time I get a chance to come into the shop and I can confidently say it's one of the best shops in Arizona! And I'll keep bringing myself and my friends back for more! read more

So, I've now been tattooed here three times & had a good experience every time. Matt Quale did 2 of my tattoos & both turned out excellent & the tattoo experience was great since Matt has good customer service & conversation skills; he also works quickly which is a plus since I suck at getting tattooed these days. They also have flash Friday events which feature custom stuff by the guys at the shop which in my experience a lot of places aren't doing. All & all this is a great shop to get tattooed at, especially if you're looking to get American traditional work. read more

I got my nipples pierced here with Cooley and it was an amazing experience! He was super chill and made me feel really comfortable and safe. He made sure to check with me throughout the process and made sure everything was looking good to me. He talked me through the actual piercing and timed it with my breathing. Afterwards he talked me through the aftercare and what to expect, and had cleaning solution available to buy, which i did. Overall definitely recommend! My total with the jewelry, service, and cleaning solution was $191, which is a great price imo. read more

I'll tell ya what, if you want a kickass experience walking into a tattoo shop you gotta go see these guys. Walk in and there's 6 artists laying ink and everyone is extremely friendly and professional. Tons of art work to look at on the walls, the shop is clean, the apprentice Nick is friendly and has great customer service. Spoke with Aaron about starting a sleeve, and he set me up with Tayler and the outcome was amazing. Can't say enough good things about this shop. read more

My sister's and I had our sister tattoos done here and they are beautiful! Thank you Tayler for the beautiful art work.

I highly recommend checking these guys out! Loved the whole experience from start to finish! Best of luck to you Tayler! Happy 2021 Mary D. read more

Old West is truly the best tattoo shop I've been to! Aaron started my sleeve and most recently did a tattoo for my mom and I. My mom has Parksinson's so most things aren't easy for her but this was something she really wanted to do. Aaron made her feel comfortable and she had the best experience. I would recommend Old West a thousand times over. I'm stoked to go back and finish my sleeve! read more

Aaron at old west is the best. Our friend recently passed away and her family was in town from WA, we needed to get in ASAP. After being referred by a fellow tattoo artist, this tattoo shop was amazing. Their whole staff makes the experience even better. They become your instant friend. I will come back for sure. Ask for Aaron he is hilarious, along with everyone but he's the best read more
