I’m from Boise and was in Tempe, AZ for the weekend visiting my best friend. In all honesty, I will be hopping on a flight for any other tattoo I want — absolutely worth it. The line work is AMAZING, my artist touched up and edited the reference picture and it turned out cleaner than the reference picture. My artist explained EVERYTHING, every detail to me and explained the products they use (VEGAN!!) and why they use it. Absolutely amazing and worth every penny! The whole staff is welcoming and the environment is clean; overall BEST tattoo experience.
Extremely pleased with the progression of my traditional Japanese arm tattoo sleeve. I still have a couple more sessions to go before its completed but my experience so far has been awesome. I have other tattoos but this is my first big piece so there was a level of anxiety prior to my 1st session. My tattoo artist, Boston Rogoz, is very knowledgeable and experienced in the traditional Japanese style which eased my mind/nerves tremendously. Do yourself a solid and get your tattoo done by nothing but the best at Living Canvas Tattoo!
Tristian did a remarkable job. He is patient, detail oriented, and an exceptional artist. I’m so happy with my tattoo.
I got my tattoo with Tristan who is an incredible artist! My tattoo was delicate, beautiful, and exactly how I envisioned (perhaps even better!). Tristan was very thorough in making sure I was happy with the placement as well as explaining the aftercare. During our initial consultation, he made sure to check that the quote would be something within my budget. I am so happy to have chosen this place and Tristan specifically for my first tattoo! If I were to get another one, Ill be coming back here again :)
Very friendly place to go. I was planning on not finding a place that would take walk-ins. They had walk-ins on Fridays making it very easy to get in. Would highly recommend this place if your local or even just passing through. The place is covered in awesome art and really cool masks!
I got my tattoo with Tristan. I was a walk-in and was helped right away. The shop was clean and everyone was very friendly and helpful. My tattoo was better than I could have imagined and Tristan did an amazing job!
Went in on a Saturday as a walk in, was seen quickly. The artist did a great job and the tattoo turned out awesome. I would feel confident in any of the artists work. The shop was very clean, open, nicely decorated, and the staff all around was fantastic and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
I had my first tattoo here back in 1998. My most recent experience was just as great on 9/1/2021. Sent my oldest daughter off for her first year of college so we each got something that represented the other.
My husband and I walked in so my hubby could get a second tattoo. Figured while I was there Id get a small cover up for an older tattoo I had that could use an upgrade. Eric there did a great job on my hubbys Green Day tattoo and absolutely killed it on my cover up. It was better than I imagined! Couldnt be luckier to be able to get in. Eric was friendly, professional and a fantastic tattoo artist! I highly recommend Living Canvas Tattoos! Also their front staff was super friendly too!
We wanted sister look-alike tattoos and had different ideas, so I went in the evening before and showed them to Mike, who then surprised us the next day with a design we both loved. Would you expect someone to work on that during their own time? In and out in 45 minutes! Thanks dude! Also a big thank you to sweet Jenna who called to tell me Id left my credit card there. Would I go back? Hell yeah!
Great customer service. Paid attention to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I went with my mum and was done in about an hour.
Was able to get in right away as a walk in to get matching with my best friend. They took our ideas and drew up a really nice tattoo unique to us. Tristin did amazing work that was quick and professional. His lines are perfect and so crisp.
I loved getting my tattoo here, everyone is so nice and the facility is very clean. It was my first tattoo and they made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions! Would definitely recommend.
Had a great experience. Everyone was super nice and made me feel super comfortable. Very clean shop with the newest tech. Love my new tattoo. Definitely would recommend!
This was a spur of the moment idea to commemorate a road trip. They got us right in. Tristan was able to take my ‘drawing’ & make it perfect. My wife got a coordinating tattoo as well. Very happy!
Walked in, knew there was an hour wait but after an hour asked where they were in the line and was told the person before us was last for the day. I do realize sometimes it runs long, but sure would have been nice to have been told before we had to ask while sitting outside due your covid rules. A little communication goes a long way.
Dont know the name of the artist but he worked fast and it came out great. I went in during the last 30 minutes and they still managed to take me in and get it done!
Eric tattooed a custom geometric arrow I designed. He was patient and made gave me several size options and rearranged the stencil multiple times to make sure it was just right. He was attentive and made sure I was comfortable. Great work!
Everything was very clean and professional! The piercer was clearly very experienced and it went very quickly and smoothly. Would definitely go here again!!
The receptionist was very kind and endearing. She helped me feel confident with my choice of tattoo. Eric was very encouraging and professional. Clean line work and a very patient artist. Already recommended all of my friends to you guys!
Im so happy with the upper arm addition I just had done with Living Canvas. Its been a few days and already Ive had several strangers stop me to admire the color and technique. I first emailed from the website with general questions and was pleasantly surprised to receive a reply within the hour with answers and instructions on how to get a consultation. It was a Friday evening and expectedly busy with other patrons, but the staff was so friendly and efficient that things moved very smoothly and safe with covid precautions. My tattoo artist was very personable and professional, making me feel very comfortable and confident in the results during our time one on one. He discussed nuances and choices available with my design and was very helpful in guiding me through so that the end result is something that I really enjoy. I plan to return again for more services in the future, and Ive already started recommending Living Canvas to the many admirers of my new piece. Thank you so much, Living Canvas!
Just went back for my 2nd session for my sleeve. Amazing staff and fun to talk to. Very professional and proud of what they do. Mark (the owner) is my artist and he is amazing. Couldn’t get better if you’re looking for traditional Japanese tattoo.
Mike at Living Canvas is a true artist and professional! I had a consultation on a Monday about some ink and was returning on Wednesday to have it completed. During the consultation I provided an idea for a tattoo and with just my description Mike had a design on Wednesday that was f**king awesome and with some minor tweaks it was exactly what I had envisioned!The entire process and my tattoo in my opinion is the best of all the work Ive had done!
Mark is the absolute best! His shop is one of the cleanest my husband and I have ever gone too. Him and his team are very friendly & professional, and do such great work. Mark has done two pieces now on my husband and we both absolutely love his work. We are now customers for life and we would HIGHLY recommend this shop and owner Mark, specifically, for all of your tattoo needs. Dont delay and book your appointment now!
You NEED to visit this place. Everyone was very professional and their time management was awesome. Me and my boyfriend just walked in and they were able to take us in!! Tristan did my piece and I am absolutely in love with it. This was my first tattoo and I wouldn’t have gotten it anywhere else!
Very clean, very professional & the staff were very friendly & courteous. I’m happy with my tattoos too! They did great!
Did I transport to LA when I walked in the door???Mask mandate, ok. I get it. No one else allowed in while your getting a tattoo, both of which I was reminded by the nice receptionist when I walked in.Vaccinated but I’m on board. Waiting for my consultation for about 15 minutes; my glasses fogging up with my mask on as I look around at the 4 tattoo artists one wearing their mask right and the other 3 with their masks below their noses working away, only 1 out of the 3 people getting tattoos wearing their mask and one had her friend in there while she was getting a tattoo. The hypocrisy and lack of common sense was too much so I cancelled, I’ll pick out a place that management either uses common sense rules or or at least follows their own.
Awesome environment and super friendly professional people, answered any questions I had and worked with me on getting the perfect tattoo. Walk-in wait was maybe 30 minutes but is very good work and well worth it.
Just got my first ever tattoo done with Erik (awesome/genuine bro) and not only was it an dope experience but it was filled with great people.The entire place is definitely a professional and fun atmosphere.For beginners, and experienced this shop is definitely a go to.
I made arrangements with Mark, the owner, to bring my wife in to his studio to have her 10 year old hip/lower stomach tattoo re-outlined and color touched up.Mark hadn’t done the original tattoo and although she was happy with the results at the time, the sharpness of the outline and colors of the flowers had faded over time.Mark is an extremely considerate and experienced professional who took his time to explain what he wanted to do to the original tattoo to give it more depth and clarity.He numbed the area to minimize discomfort and went to work.The first thing my wife mentioned almost immediately, was how light Mark’s touch was compared to the two previous tattoo artists she had worked with in the past, and she mentioned it a few times, almost in disbelief.Mark said he wanted to redo her tattoo in two separate sessions, one to handle the outline (and shading for depth) which was rather substantial in size and then when that had healed, a second appointment to handle the coloring of the flowers and petals.He is truly a perfectionist, examining his work carefully to make certain he had addressed every detail he had in his mind to enhance the tattoo.After he was done, he put down his machine, and said he was very happy with the results thus far...and I can tell you that we were even happier than he was, his work was absolutely beautiful.Even though the flowers hadn’t been re-colored yet, the entire tattoo looked like it was new, actually better then when it was new, and the old flowers popped out because of the shading he did around them. Honestly, we couldn’t have been more pleased.Out of fairness to Mark, I will wait to post a photo until after the next session when his work is finished but he really did an amazing job and couldn’t have been more pleasant and professional.Thank you Mark! We sincerely appreciate your time and talent.
Eric is the man. He did my tattoo and piercing. He has a wealth of experience and I will highly recommend him to anyone and will definitely be going back!
I came for a walk in with my sketch already drawn up. I wanted some modifications and my artist, Tristan Towers, obliged and was very patient as I explained what i wanted different. He tattooed me with a mountain armband and lettering underneath it and it is gorgeous and he was patient, professional and kind. It was my first professional tattoo and i felt like Living Canvas tattoo shop was a really great shop for newbies and alums alike. Thanks guys :)
The artist was incredibly professional. The atmosphere was classy and clean. Easy to locate. There are no words to describe how impressed I am with this experience. I have been getting tattoos for 25 years all over the United States. This is THE PLACE to go!
Got my 7th tattoo finished today. Mike never fails to turn my crazy ideas into beautiful work, hes clean and chill and I always leave there with a huge smile and beautiful ink. I would recommend Living Canvas Tattoos and Mike to anyone!!!
Eric was the man for putting together my drawings so quick. The man was nice and professional, and very quick. He had good humor and seems to really love what he does. Thanks so much I will be back soon!
Everything was perfect. Helped me out and answered all my questions. Very nice
I always have a great experience at Living Canvas, everyone is so friendly and professional. Tristan and Michael did our tattoos and we are so incredibly happy with them!
I have been to this tattoo shop twice. They are not very personable as far as making you feel welcomed to the shop. (and this was for both encounters as a walk in customer) Outside of the initial greeting process they produce great work.
Boston hooked it up!! Always top notch, nothing but the beat for me and my canvas. No doubt the best I have been to and for sure I will never get another tattoo done by another individual again after Boston.
I got my 4th tattoo here after 20+ years and already have an appt for 8/4 to get another one. Two of my tattoos Mark did in the 90s and they still look great!
Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Looking foward to my full sleeve next month!
Boston is amazing he listened to what I wanted and made my idea come alive. Great artist and professional. I will be using him in the future!!!
Always a great time coming to Living Canvas. Have all my pieces from here from various artists. Extremely professional and the process is super easy with a good flow. Definitely looking to get more in the future
Wow! I don’t even know what to say! I was a walk in and they got me in right away! Mike did my tattoo and might I say he well supersede my expectations! I was so pleased I woke up today wanting to go back for my next tat already! You will not be disappointed! Highly recommend!
Tristan is an AWESOME tattoo artist! He was able to take all the thoughts that I had in my head and put it on my body. I felt comfortable the entire time being there and I will definitely come again! Thanks Tristan!
I have visited Living Canvas for multiple piercings and for my first tattoo. I love this place and will come back for more tattoos. They cleaned all piercing pieces in front of you so it made me feel very comfortable. They were accurate and they had patience when tattooing and piercing. I have not have any problems with my piercings or my new tattoo. They are also attentive and they do care about the guest being comfortable in that environment. For my first tattoo, it went smoothly and I did not have any concerns during or after the procedure. I definitely recommend this place for piercings and for tattoos
Great tattoo shop with artists who have a wide range of experience and knowledge. I Highly recommend living canvas.
Mike always does a great job on all my tatoos, thats why I always go back, very creative, great ideas on size, styles and art work. Highly recommended thank you Living Canvas for making sure your team is filled with talent like Mike!!
This is probably my favorite tattoo shop to get tattooed at in Arizona. I have been tattooed here on 4 separate occasions. I have 2 foot tattoos. Very clean and crisp tattoos. Clean shop. Professional and friendly tattoo artists every single time. Im happy to have tattoos from this shop.9-12-17 another tattoo for me at this shop. Jay Rizzo rocked out my Banksy tattoo that I wanted to honor my love and loss of my grandma. Happy tears flowed as he made my dreams a reality. I couldnt be happier with this tattoo. Once again professional service with great art work. Clean shop. I will be back I am sure and I would bring my loved ones here for any tattoo needs that they may have. Highly recommend this place! You wont have a tattoo you regret if you make sure its one you really want that means something to you.
Tattoo on my foot turned out great and it stuck! Looking wonderful still a month out 💚
I had been searching for a tattoo artist in AZ that could bring my idea to life. I found Bree and was obsessed. I booked her in advance for a trip I head out to the valley from FL. Bree did an incredible job with my Very first tattoo. She made me feel comfortable and confident and I am absolutely obsessed with this piece. She was great to work with and made sure I absolutely loved it before getting it- including tweaking the design without getting offended. The store was also super clean and mindful regarding COVID which I respected and was happy to see! Thank you again for this incredible experience! Hope to be back soon.
I am not a local- some attractionz that I waz planning on touring were closed. So to occupy time just drove around. Came upon the shop. It waz open. Had 4of us that wanted tattoos. Waz given an estimated wait time. Got in sooner then quoted. Secretary waz outstanding. Very polite&engaged in conversation. Had 2artistz that took care of our body art. Exceptionally polite. All of our tatz turned out awesome. The shop waz very clean. No complaintz.
DO NOT GO HERE. Mike could not accept any changes or criticisms I had when I went there for a 3/4 sleeve, and he quit on me halfway through the project. The owner Mark was also extremely rude and kept mocking my tattoo calling it a Pokemon tattoo when its not even close to that. Now Im left with half of a sleeve with mistakes that they wont fix or finish. Worst service Ive ever experienced in any industry much less one that Im paying $150 per hour for! DO NOT GO HERE!
I got a sleeve completed a few weeks ago and I could not be happier with the tattoo as well as the overall experience. Everyone was friendly and respectful, the shop was very clean, and I had a blast chatting with Boston while I got my arm done. The tattoo itself turned out better than I could have hoped for. Ill definitely be coming back to Living Canvas in the future and recommend it to all my friends and family.
Mike did a great job helping my through my first tattoo. Felt very safe and comfortable the whole time
Super nice people!! Did great work on my arm and had a great price!! Will most definitely be back!
Triston was amazing! It was my kids 1st tattoos and he made them feel very comfortable and at ease! The price was great and he did a damn good job! Will def return for the next one.
They are really nice, they had an artist available for a consult which made the experience very comfortable 😀
Great experience. Really friendly people.
Today I got my first tattoo. Tristan did it and he was very patient, gentle and kind. I was nervous but it was a lot less painful than I thought it would be. His attention to detail and skill made it turn out perfectly!
Eric was an excellent tattoo artist. Quality service from Jenna as well.
Bree was such a peach! I knew she had the touch to create something amazing from her amazing work through Instagram and she did not let me down one bit! She was flexible with my requests and questions which eased the experience and I feel like she made the relationship comfortable enough to do so. It felt safe and relaxing. Get in her books if you can! Love my new piece! Can’t wait for the next!
Went in as a walk-in and I was able to get my tattoo in a quick amount of time. The process was easy, and the people there were very nice. I would definitely go again and recommend this shop to others!
If you’re in Tempe, you need to go see Tristan at Living Canvas. He does amazing line work! So happy with mine.
I have used this place for a while for piercings. Got my first tattoo by Tristan. He was amazing and I will for sure be returning.
Boston was my tattoo artist and he did beyond what I thought was possible for my cover up. After years of searching for a good cover up artist I think I doing my guy!
I was tattooed by Eric and he did a fantastic job. He was attentive to detail, took the idea I had for my design, and turned it into a beautiful one of a kind custom tattoo! I honestly could not be happier with the outcome, I’m excited to have him do the rest of my sleeve!
This has been my place to go for years! Since 2008! Mark the owner is a wonderful guy and so talented as are all of his artists! I recently moved out of state but came back to AZ and this is the only place I would get worked on!! Best tattoo shop hands down. You will not be disappointed.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Bre answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend for tats n piercing.
Last night I got my 5th living canvas tattoo. The artist did an amazing job on the frog tattoos my aunt and I got! I highly recommend this place! I now have 7 tattoos and 5 of them are from living canvas. My first tattoo was 9 years ago and it still looks great! The 5 that are from living canvas look great while my other 2 are faded.
Amazing place and everything was clean and staff but I didnt get the attention I wanted as, My tattoo artist kept getting interrupt by calls. But I understand ur busy ppl.
Professional, Fast and Great work! My 2nd visit in almost a year. This visit my Son and I were walk ins lookn for small tattoos. In and out in about an hour! The artist was really chill and super professional. We left smiling from his superior work. The male receptionist was also very polite and professional. Go check this place out :)
Ive gotten 2 tattoos from living canvas now and both of my experiences with them have been great! My artist, Eric, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend this place to everyone looking to get work done on them. Nothing but good things to say about this place!
The Shop Is SUPER DOPE...I WILL BE BACK FO SHO❗IN&OUT...SERV IS EVERYTHING, MY ARTIST WAS A YNG FELLA...BUT HE HAD AN OLD SOUL...YNG LADY@ THE DESK WAS KOOL AS WELL...THK U GUYS@ THE CANVAS❗
Great time and great results from Eric. Would definitely come back for another tattoo
Bree is my girl! She isn’t afraid to try new things which I love. She is fast and precise and makes me feel calm and comfortable the whole time. She’s an amazing artist. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience being a walk in customer. Exceptional quality and pricing. Loved the atmosphere of the shop and most importantly I am in love with my tattoo!
Tristen is such a humble guy listened to what I want and performed a fantastic chest piece for me. Great experience and totally recommend this place for anyone. If you’re looking for a great quality Tatt with a great price, this is the place to go man!!
Had an appointment with Boston, was a great expirience from the consultation to discussing designs and finally doing the tattoo. It came out better than I could have hoped, definitely would recommend.
Everything was great!! I love my two tattoos!The artist did have the wrong tattoo drawn up when I arrived, but that was cleared up immediately and everything went great after that!!If anyone wonders the Latin translates to: the call of the void: never to be answered
Erik was awesome so attentive and just fun to talk too definitely recommend this place.I got my nose pierced. He gave me al the info to maintain it clean.Again, so professional and overall great!
Really great tattoo experience!I had an appointment with Eric H. who helped me with a cover up. The work he did was top quality stuff. I am satisfied and will be returning very soon. :)
I got a tattoo with Shane and I am SO happy with how it turned out. He really went above and beyond and gave me the perfect tattoo. This place also has really good Covid precautions. No one can wait inside, and both clients and artists have to be masked. This place also has the best prices in Tempe. I had gotten another tattoo here before and they were both very reasonably priced compared to other places I have been to. This is definitely a very clean, trustworthy, and top notch tattoo place. If you want to get a tattoo in Tempe, this is the place to go!
Bree was awesome. I loved the work she did.
My first tattoo and I love it. Shane walked me through the process and made it really easy. Also thought it was rather painless. I would definitely go here again. Thanks for being patient with the old man.
I absolutely loved my tattoo experience! My tattoo artist was Andrew and he was fantastic and works so fast! Everybody in the building was so nice and friendly! They also kept my attention else where by making me laugh to make my time so much faster! I definitely recommend this place and we definitely be coming back!
Went in to get my first tattoo a few days ago from Lucky at LGTI and he did a great job. He was able to make time for me and friend on super short notice and was incredibly friendly and professional the whole time. The relatively simple piece I got done looks sharp, and more detailed and intricate pieces hes done on friends look great too. Really cant recommend Lucky enough, he seems like a great guy and artist.
Boston was very professional and personable throughout the entire tattooing experience.
I’ve been here several times for piercings and tattoos and I had a good experience each time !
My best friend and I went in as a walk in and they receptionist was super nice and the tattoo artist go us in super quick and worked with our price and what we wanted. Loved the atmosphere super chill definitely recommend going in!
Eric Hall is the best artist I could possibly ask for. Tattoo dreams do come true. The place itself is gorgeous, too. It was a real experience getting my piece done here.
Tristan was so nice and very helpful regarding how the tattoo would wear over time. would definitely recommend and will be back if I get another tattoo craving.
Great studio, awesome artists, easy process, and I would definitely recommend!Really love my new tattoo! Thank you Eric!
Andrew was my piercer and he did a phenomenal job. I got my eyebrow double pierced and from the minute I walked in to the time I walked out was about 20 minutes. I showed him a photo of how close I wanted the piercings to be together and explained where I wanted them and he marked it out perfectly the first try. He walked me through what was happening while getting pierced so there wouldn’t be a surprise and overall super chill guy. Everyone was friendly and the place was super clean. They also had precautions in place for COVID and everyone wore masks which made me feel much more comfortable getting work done there. Definitely going back to get other piercings done here!
Got my first tattoo here and they were amazing! Worked along what I wanted and communicated w me! Andrew did my tattoo and was so good, would def recommend here :)
My husband and I loved our experience here getting our first tattoos with Bree. She made us feel very comfortable and her work is beautiful!
