Absolutely amazing work from Bruce. Would recommend. Amiable and lovely.
Super nice people. Prices are reasonable. Eli did matching tattoos for my daughter and I from their flash cards. Im going to bring our other daughter in for matching tattoos with her too.
Second time visiting this place. Great experiences with the tattoo artists both times. The second time I went (most recently) interacting with the receptionist was not great, but I really love their flashes and the community work.
Good clean environment, been there twice going again soon. Prices are fair and love my artist Jenn. Would share my work but get your own ideas...Lol 😀 But a for sure recommend if you wont some work 👍
I went here for my first tattoo with my sister and mother. I came from Minnesota on a visit for my sister down in Tucson and shes gotten a few tattoos here and highly suggested this place! I loved all the flash tattoo designs there were to choose from. Malia was the tattooist for my sister, mother and I and she did an amazing job! We all got matching tattoos and Im glad she was able to do a flash tattoo on me as well. Ill definitely make another stop here when Im in Tucson again!
Wonderful nonprofit Artist collective. Efficient service. Great protocols. Tattoos are artstic and inexpensive...starting at 25.00 for FLASH tattoos. 56% of each sale goes to charitable cause. I got my daughter one of the 50.00 flash tattoos and it took about 20 minutes.
Absolute best tattoo shop Ive been to. clean, all the kids are friendly, and money goes to a good cause and helps the apprentice learn and practice doing what they love. no where else Id recommend more than here.
My daughter got an industrial piercing from Big Russ and we both absolutely loved that he was very professional and very thorough on everything he was doing beforehand and afterwards. We had called a few shops before and the prices they gave us were outrageous and including tip I paid way less than any other place. I definitely recommend if you want a great deal and a professional piercer go see him!!!!
Awesome experience. Malia did my tattoo and I am very pleased with how it came out. Very great quality work. Clean environment, and very friendly staff. I can’t wait to come here again. I highly recommend this shop.
Got a few pieces of flash for my birthday from Eli. Nice staff, nice space and fast service. I would recommend and I will be back.
Was a great experience! Russ is the best!! Took his time to make sure my daughters piercing were perfect!! And love love love mine as well! Thank you!!
Went to get my nose pierced. It was by a blond woman who worked there that kept sniffling. She pierced my nose with too short of a stud. I brought it up and she said its fine. Within a few days i knew it was incorrect because the stud was disappearing from swelling. Went back and got to see aslyn and she recommended to put a hoop in. The hoop she shoved through my nose was actually a lower gauge so therefore basically repierced my nose. Because of that its caused scarring and everything else. I would NEVER go back or recommend this place after my experience.They dont listen and obviously dont care enough to do a good job. And now I’m scarred on my nostril and have to live with that.Choose anywhere else.
I got my first tattoo and they were all so kind! I went to the second location, and ita nice and spacious, very clean, and just really an awesome atmosphere! Plus, the flash sheet deals are hard to best! I plan on going back for more :P
The best tattoo shop experience my friend and I have ever had. From the front desk! To the tattoo artist Sara! Definitely going back for more tattoos
This shop is super clean and professional, with a great mission being the only nonprofit tattoo shop that exists. we made our appointment through yelp, although they do also take walk ins!weve gotten tattoos from both nate and abraham and theyre both super nice, professional, have great line work! we both are super happy with the final result of our tattoos weve gotten here. we brought custom drawings in and had minor edits we wanted done to them which they had no problem doing. they also made suggestions for us on the edits based on what would look best which was super helpful and appreciated.
Very cool operation, very happy with the clean, and professional environment. The staff pointed me in the right direction to find an artist who could help me with my request.
THE BEST TATTOO SHOP IN TUCSON. Spark is a non-profit and they do more than tattoos and piercings! Art therapy for kids, donation drives for the homeless and all kinds of other great causes. Their tattoo work is incredible, but the tattoos really just fun all of the amazing work they do for our community!Why go anywhere else! Great flash sales, good prices, AND youre contributing to something bigger than yourself.
The idea behind SPC is an amazing one! The concept is new, noble, and perfect!The staff is friendly, helpful, and amazing!I think that any idea that targets a large population has to take in consideration the demographics, and they have done that, they are geared towards a young crowd that is eager to do something new, exciting and is not afraid to jump in.However, you dont have to be young to take part. Anyone can feel at home and enjoy their experience there!Our tattoo artist (Abraham) was simply amazing and a real joy to work with. Very accommodating, and pleasant. Patient and friendly so we enjoyed our experience and I know that I will be coming back for more.
If your there for a Tattoo, Malia is amazing...
Very friendly, quick with the piercings, and totally cared about how they treated me.
Got my first tattoo here, the best experience I could have asked for. Making an appointment with them was extremely easy, and everyone was extremely nice.
Venus is AMAZING🖤. She made me feel safe in a very vulnerable mindspace. I appreciate someone willing to make a change in the world. Not to mention the CUTEST art🖤🐈⬛. Definitely found my artist. 🖤
Very clean place, didnt even seem like a tattoo shop when you arrive which is refreshing. Malia did an excellent job on our mother/daughter matching tattoos. The fact that their mission is to give back to the community is awesome. Will definitely return again!
Great artist for tattoos, and great for the community love it.
☆☆☆I want to give a huge shout out and thank you to Johnny and all of Spark Project Collective.☆☆☆This place is beyond dope! Johnny has a vision and drive that serves as an inspiration. Super clean, super fun, professional; while still maintaining an atmosphere where you can be yourself. I felt totally at ease and cant wait to go back. Ill be posting pictures once Im healed up.☆♡☆Bottom line. Whether you want a $20 piece of flash or a $300 custom piece, this is where its at. You will not be disappointed! ☆♡☆
This place is amazing, from the talented artists, Eli, to their support of autism awareness. Keep doing what yall are doing.
Went and saw Big Russ for a new piercing! They were profeasional and awesome as always. I l9ve going to them to get what im looking for and love that it goes towards Autisum awareness and reserch right here in Arizona.
Friendly staff the tattoos are not only cheap but they are great quality! My tattoo is now healed up nicely and looks awesome I definitely am coming back for more tattoos!
Russ is great. Very friendly, and he knows his stuff! Definitely recommend his for any piercing needs!
I got my 2nd holes in my ears by big Russ very informative very nice.
Even though they were busy today (they were donating all proceeds to help a local family) they were incredible. The whole staff deserves the utmost respect.
Great place. Great tattoos. Great artists. Great cause. 👍
Great shop and overall great experience when visiting. The tattoo artist kept conversation with both my roommate and I while my roommate was getting work done. I like the style of the shop too. Definitely felt welcoming and wasnt overly done with a bunch of grunge type stuff like your typical tattoo shop. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy those too, but this one was definitely beyond professional. The artist also did a good job on my roommates flash tattoos.
It was nice and has great tattoo workers I love it😍😍
I had high hopes for this place but was kinda disappointed. Got a couple flash tattoos, the designs were super cute but the execution was only okay. A fair bit of ink along one line fell out of one of them, but because of the flash price no touch ups are allowed unless you are willing to pay the full price of the tattoo. Staff was also pretty akward and not very experienced.
They pierced my daughters nose ad her piercer was super kind and walked my daught thrthe whole thing Highly recommend this place
Great work, great prices and friendly artists. On top of all that, they opperate as a nonprofit charity and educate the community on autism.
Came to do a couple of tattoos and had called to make an appointment for me and my sister. The booking was accidentally put down for an hour after store had closed. Despite the mistake the guy had stayed late to fix it and get us our tattoos. He was really polite and reassuring. It was my sisters first tattoo and he really made it special. He ended up staying almost 3 hours after closing to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Overall a really great experience.
Very cool place they really are one of a kind cool people very nice and love there work
Always have a good experience with piercings and tattoos!
I love their work and love their mission! A non profit tattoo parlor that does amazing work is a no brainer.
Brooklyn did a few of my piercings some pain free some with some discomfort but she is top notch also Ross did my tragus piercings and was great as well. Brooklyns mentor showed her the steps for my navel piercing and finished it I didnt even feel it I would mention his name but I forgot my bad. When I get around to getting ink there Ill share my experience as well. If your looking to get any piercings check with them their prices are the best in tucson they are very friendly as well 😊
The staff is awesome. I love my tats. I will be back. There is no better place for these services. I love this place.
The stuff is very friendly and I enjoy myself
Friendly staff. Amazing and personable tattoo artist Venus
Staff was super nice and patient. Extremely happy with the service.
Excellent work for a great cause. Came out way better then I could have hoped, everyone was very professional, kind, and it’s a very no-pressure safe environment. I’ll definitely be back for more. Thanks guys
Amazing service and super diligent
Got piercings done there, twice. Both times the staff was super nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Flash sheets available all the time to help tattoo apprentices gain better skills. Different artists have different stations... not exactly sure how they are determined. My first visit was with Ari, and I sat in a chair (old restaurant style) and had to scoot my butt to the edge and kind of rest my neck on the lip of the back of the chair.... almost flashdance style... not exactly, but maybe you get the idea. Ari was great.My second session I had chosen four flash and was out in less than an hour. Love that funds go back to the community. ❤
Eli has done a great job on all my tattoos, highly satisfied and i recommend going to him to get any work done.
Everyone was extremely nice, and I had a very fun and nice experience!
I go to big russ for all of my piercings now. He is amazing and super friendly and will answer any and all questions you have. From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is inviting and all the staff are very nice.
Bryce (Apprentice) was fantastic, especially with my sisters first tattoo!!(: Johnny (Owner) was great, answered all of our questions!!(: Super blessed we found this place, only known tattoo shop that is a non-profit organization. This shop gives all profits to many organizations that help the community. Go visit!!(:
Spark project is an amazing place to get you your tattoo art done. Ive gotten tattoos from them as well as having them microblade my eyebrows and they did an amazing job. If you are thinking of getting ink soon definitely consider spark project, your getting great art work and supporting an amazing cause at the same time.
Love my new tattoos! :D
Hey! so it was my first time coming here and i didn’t think it’d be bad because it’s a pretty prominent piercing/tattoo parlor. i got my medusa done here and the lady who pierced me put in a barbell, swelling wouldn’t go down and my inner lip was embedded around the ball on the inside. had to get it changed at another place and they couldn’t believe they pierced me with a barbell. also was starting to get pus in it. didn’t give me any instructions other than alcohol free mouth wash and no spicy food. it hurt immensely and i didn’t even notice until i got it replaced.i understand mistakes happen and people are learning but if they’re learning or apprentices i want to know. i’d rather someone tell me they can’t do it or don’t feel comfortable doing something.if you wanna get pierced here don’t let the cheap prices fool you and reconsider for a better experience. it’ll save you pain.
Eli does amazing work always reliable, professional, and easy to work with! Highly recommend gettin any work done through him.
Awesome experience! I will definitely be going back.
Best place to go to get work done, Bryce was amazing well talented tattoo artist that takes pride into their art, understood what I was looking for along with taking the time to set add extra on, going to be going back for more.
Great place. Got my daughters ear pierced by Big Russ. Hes awesome and was great with her. Very professional.
Love it! Mother daughter tattoos 😍
My favorite place to be... amazing staff
I am so excited I found this place! Me and my boyfriend went to go get tattoos a few days ago and It was my first tattoo ever but we had Ari and she was amazing and made me feel really comfortable we will definitely be back.
I went in with an idea in mind of what I wanted, and some how Bryce figured it out from my jumbled ideas coming out what I wanted and made it even better than I thought it could be. Even did a stellar job of fixing a previous tattoo and covering up the bad part. Would highly recommend shop and artist!!
Got my tongue pierced for the 3rd time! Felt comfortable.
My lady got a tattoo there by Aldo and he did an amazing job
Best place you can get your piercing done!! If youre getting your first piercing or your piercing redone, I would recommend this place for sure🙌 Aislynne Black was the person who pierced my mom and Is earlobes, she was extremely professional, very informative for after care and straightforward with the piercing process. Will come back for sure when I get the tops of my ears done! 10/10 for service, professionalism, and quality❤
Johnny and his crew are some of the nicest, most talented and professional people that I have ever done business with.The new studio is amazing.
Eli Barnes has done all my tattoos and Ive had nothing but great experiences with all my tattoos would 100% recommend to anyone who asks !
Came by this week and had a bit of an addition added to my tattoo. Friendly artists who are doing a great service, between giving people the art they desire to express themselves and providing to the community with their 501(c) status.I have friends who are also tattoo artists and I have shared this location. My friends are so impressed they are willing to make recommendations to some of their own clients to come here and spread the love.Spark Project, which helps children on the autism spectrum as well as other disabilities, is a wonderful cause.I highly suggest if you are looking for some new artwork, you do yourself and the community a favor and at least come by and check them out. What is there to lose by simply walking in and seeing some of the previous work they have done?You may in the long run decide to go back to your tried and true artist, on the other hand, you might find that John Vasquez and his crew can satisfy your desire for art and help some people at the same time.It’s your time, and your body, so take a chance that your spirit could be lifted knowing your new artwork also assisted someone in need.~Peace.
Always like coming here great people and great work
I love this place. Ive gone here for a tattoo, a piercing, and jewelry and I will be back for more of each! The staff is so friendly and its a very chill and supportive place. The way they are involved in the community and support local families is super awesome, too. Cannot recommend them enough!
This has got to be the best place Ive ever visited. The employees are super friendly, the venue is always clean all of the proceeds go to autism awareness foundations they offer snacks clothing stickers pins. Its an incredible shop and they have a very well kept and professional shop. I highly recommend going here for all your tattoo or piercing needs.
Literally the best environment. Their new section that just opened this weekend is clean and really well laid out. The staff is incredible and the owner Johnny is a great person who is super involved in the special needs community. Plus they have live music some days! Absolutely the best shop Ive ever been to, without a doubt.
Literally couldnt be more happy with my tattoo. I had gotten a rose on my arm and it turned out amazing. The healing is going super well. The experience was great, I felt comfortable throughout the process, I was asked throughout the tattoo if I was doing okay, if I needed to take a break for water or anything. I mean the service was great. They were running behind when I got there but once I got in the chair they didnt rush to make up for the time, took their time for good quality tattoo. Oh and such a light hand too, I literally felt no pain, I almost fell asleep thats how light the pressure was. I even had to look a couple times to make sure that there was actually ink sticking. LolThe best part of all this experience is that all proceeds (money after bills and expenses) goes towards funding programs such as art therapy for children with disabilities, homeless drives, toys for children in foster systems and group counseling sessions. So not only did I get an awesome tattoo but the proceeds go towards something amazing.I ran a couple errands afterwards, and Ive gotten so many compliments on my tattoo within the past 24hours. Overall the experience was great and I highly recommend! 👍👍
Good quality tattoos for a good cause! Ive gotten tattoos from their monthly flash sales, and plan on getting some larger custom pieces in the near future. Its a friendly place with a lot going on, and the work they do for autistic kids and their families is wonderful!
Employees are pretty chill. Kris, tattoo artist, does a very good job of making sure the experience is comfortable and enjoyable.
I love the simple design of my first tattoo and my tattoo artist was excellent! He was very patient as I asked the design to be moved over and over again and he was so polite and fun to talk to while it was being done. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I definitely back that recommendation.
Jennifer was very friendly and did such a great job on all of the tattoos we got done as a group. Great place, great people for a great cause.
I love this place. bryce has done my 2 most recent tattoos. they turned out great!
Brice is awesome, very nice and personable! Did a perfect tat, will definitely recommend to family & friends
