An amazing experience from the very beginning, Gee did both Left and Right fore Arms and after having tattoos done for over ten years I have never seen better work. He was very upfront with flow, what would and would not work, and took the time to prep both pieces before ink ever touched the skin. I couldn't believe the rate as he should be charging a couple hundred more an hour based on my work and his extensive portfolio. If I was staying in Arizona there wouldn't be anyone else I'd let do subsequent work. The shop atmosphere was great and since i was there for so long I got to

I had been searching for a few years for a new artist and was referred to Gee at Tattoo Avenue. Reached out and worked with Gee for a piece on my forearm and can't say enough about how good it went. Gee exceeded my expectations and hooked it up. I had given him some of my thoughts on what I was thinking as well as trying to tie in other work I have and he murdered it. I prefer Black and Grey work and he nailed it. If you want some dope work hit Gee up. I would highly recommend Gee but his hole shop are down to Earth good people. Very easy going and will help you. I have work on me from a

I love this shop! I've been going to Sarah for almost 10 years and have followed her to different shops - this one has the best atmosphere by far. Everyone here is friendly, the ship is clean, and it's a really comfortable place to get work done.
It's easy to find - right off of Pima, and it offers a unique view of the street. Sometimes you see some interesting things. I would highly recommend them!

Really great shop, great atmosphere. Very nice shop and up to par on their hygiene. Sarah W is amazing. She has done 3 pieces for me, and redone another. She is able to take my ideas with what I want and turn them into something I never would have imagined on my own. She really is an amazing artist. She has freehanded some parts of my tattoos and I love them and the uniqueness she brought to them. Makes me feel one of a kind. Thanks Sarah!!
