His work was impeccable and he has a nice touch. I was comfortable as he worked on my tattoo. The dragonfly he created was far more artistic than the example we provided him. We did ask him to give it a feminine flair, which he did and then some! My family members and I are delighted with his work. Additionally, we were impressed with how clean the shop is and well kept at that. It was comfortable and the music kept my mind off of being tattooed. The location is convenient in the heart of downtown.

Jim is really funny and sweet as well, and very talented. Roman is also very helpful and nice to talk to while I'm waiting. Overall I love all of them, but obviously Angelica is my fav. The atmosphere is really soothing as well and the interior design is super clean. Everything is done very sanitarily and they'll make sure you leave satisfied with your tattoo for sure. I love everyone at the shop w my whole heart !!

He not only tattooed me but also my daughter, and the entire experience was truly next level. Grimm was extremely professional, creative, friendly, and supportive throughout the whole process. He took the time to listen to our ideas, helped refine the designs, and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. His attention to detail and artistic talent really show in the final work. One thing I really appreciated is how skilled he is at working with dark skin tones. It's great to find an artist who truly understands how to make designs stand out and look amazing on darker skin. That level of knowledge and care makes a huge difference. Both of our tattoos came out even better than we imagined. If you're looking for an artist who genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in his craft, I highly recommend Grimm at Enchanted Dragon Tattoo.

I recently got a tattoo from Sayage, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I arrived, she was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to listen to my ideas, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The tattoo studio itself had an amazing vibe. It was clean, inviting, and everyone there was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Sayage's attention to detail and artistry are truly impressive. She brought my vision to life beautifully, and the final tattoo exceeded my expectations. The line work is clean, the detail is incredible, and it's obvious she takes great pride in her work. I also appreciated that she took the time to explain the aftercare instructions so I knew exactly how to care for my tattoo while it heals. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely caring tattoo artist, I highly recommend Sayage. Her skill, the welcoming atmosphere of the studio, and the kindness of everyone there made this such a great experience. I'm absolutely in love with my tattoo and will definitely be returning for future pieces! read more

I have been getting tattooes there for over 5 years and they have never let me down. The atmosphere is truly amazing and they make you feel like you are at home. The prices are very reasonable.

Me, my wife, and two of my closest friends have been getting tattooed here for over ten years. This is the best tattoo shop in Tucson, I would never go anywhere else.
