Just started my sleeve with Chris (insta: mcgtattoos)! He’s done a previous piece for me and I was so excited to get to work with him again! One was color and this is black & white, both are AMAZING. I get stopped anytime I’m in public with them showing. The shop was such a great experience in and of itself as well and legit every artist is beyond talented and are soooo nice and welcoming, which is truly a rarity. 10/10 recommend not only Chris but the shop itself ❤️

I can’t say enough amazing things about this studio and their artists. My husband was lucky enough to get in with Josh for a sentimental tattoo going back to his marine days. Josh is a well known artist with a year long wait list and just happened to have a cancelled vacation. His work was AMAZING to say the least. I just can’t even describe how REAL my husbands tat looked. The conversation was amazing and the other artists that were there also conversed with us and we just felt like family. I then put in a request to have Josh do a tattoo I had wanted for years. Again….amazing. My art was over 6 hours and Josh not only kept the best conversations but he also knew when I was in pain and helped to ease that and make sure I was comfortable. This place is home….it’s family….and the artists truly just love what they do. I can’t say enough amazing things about our experiences.

I'm going to use this guy from my hand cover up everybody's booked in advance at least a month so they must be good and if you want to get a tab by them you need to get in there and make an appointment

Don't waste you money, or even worse your time. My artist (I think it was Josh) couldn't do the simplest of things. Couldn't or wouldn't copy a picture, couldn't take a pic of me and age it by xx years. In the end we agreed on a shamrock but since I was in the hospital I missed our appointment so he kept my deposit. It seemed to be impossible to get this guy to commit to a tattoo. I have 7 tattoos and never had a problem with an artist with such a huge attitude. In general, I would advise finding a different place. No hate on these guys and I get it that tattoo artists are big tough guys but to be unnecessarily rude and obstructive ended up losing my business. I almost never write reviews, but this one had to be written. Check the other reviews...who knows if they can tattoo well, but their attitude and general scheistyness won't even let you get to the tattooing part.

I don't even know where to begin with this review. This is not a bad review for Black Castle at all, I believe that the rest of the guys who work there are respectful, talented, and professional. This is only a bad review for ARACELY. In June I stumbled upon her page and was in awe of her talent. I knew I wanted her to design and tattoo a piece for me. Her booking manager reached out to me and I made an appointment for a Saturday at 12noon in July. I made my deposit and got the instructions. On that date, I showed up on time to my appointment with no communication saying otherwise from ARACELY or her manager. I sat down in the lobby and began to wait. Noon, turned into 12:30, and then around 1pm the owner Josh came over to me and asked if I had heard from ARACELY. I stated and showed him all the email communication, and he proceeded to text her. She texted back immediately saying that she was sick, wasn't coming in, and that her manager would follow up with email. I had a sour taste in my mouth, but she finally reached out to me later on Instagram saying that she had been super sick and her manager must not have emailed me to let me know. I gave her the benefit of doubt and decided to reschedule my appointment for a Saturday in August, again at noon. Again, I wait for an hour and she doesn't text/email/call and doesn't show up. So I left. I didn't hear anything for two days, and finally Monday morning, her booking manager emails me stating that ARA is dealing with something and "sometimes she is unavailable to make it to work." I understand medical issues, or personal issues, but when you make a professional commitment to a client, and that client is driving an hour to be there on time for your appointment, you have an obligation to reach out and communicate this. I believe she is talented, and Im extremely disappointed that I can't get a tattoo from her. Please be wary before making an appointment with her unless you can put up with extremely unprofessional behavior, and complete disrespect for her clients time.

The only place to go to if you are in Arizona. This place is awesome. My artist is Mikey O'Neal and I couldn't be happier with the work he has done on my sleeve. I get asked all the time where I got it. I always recommend them to Black Castle Art. All there artists are top notch. Mikey is usually booked out so call to set up an appointment.

**MUST READ FOR ARTIST REVIEW** First off, Duffy & David are 1st class gents! I wish there was a way to rate artist within a shops review page, but this will have to do. David is a great artist, super positive and works quickly. David is great when it comes to adjusting on the fly and coming up with original work!!

This is the most comfortable and welcoming tattoo shop I've ever been to. All of the artists there are talented, but Eric my artist tops the chart of course.

Talented artists, clean shop, definitely recommend for anyone getting their first tattoo because of the friendliness of the artists. They have an artist for every style of tattoo. I wanted a couple small simple tattoos and they got me in the next day and didn’t over charge, very economical which was refreshing.
