Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at Black Castle Art Co.

  • Are Tattoos Safe?

    As long as you go to a reputable artist who takes all the recommended precautions, getting a tattoo is perfectly safe. Make sure you are completely honest about any illnesses.

  • Does It Hurt?

    Pain is really relative. Everyone has a different pain tolerance. However, we are not going to joke with you - it really hurts. Just not much. Some compare it to the "feeling of a hot scratch". But people wont come back for tattoo after tattoo if it hurts that much. Most of us dont get hurt, but the beauty of the tattoo and the pride that comes with wearing it far outweighs the pin stick here and there.How about using some kind of anesthetic cream? Such products are really not recommended.

  • How Much Is It Going to Cost?

    When it comes to tattoos, you get what you pay for. Yes, there are many people who get tattoos for a very small fee. But look for quality and be prepared to pay for it. Never bargain over the price of a tattoo. This is disrespectful to the artist. Think of it this way: its a work of art that youll wear for the rest of your life.

  • Should I Tip My Tattoo Artist?

    Tipping is a very nice gesture. But there are no real hard and fast rules for tipping.

  • What Should I Get? And Where?

    Its all a matter of personal taste. You can get whatever you want and whatever your artist is willing to do. You can choose a painting from the wall or have them create a custom piece just for you. The only limit is your own imagination. As for where you should do it, just keep in mind what you do at work and what social circle you are in. You may want to place your tattoo somewhere where it can be easily hidden by regular clothing.

  • What Is the Best Time of Year to Get a Tattoo?

    While you can get a tattoo at any time of the year, your skin is much more exposed in the summer due to swimming, sunbathing, and just more exposure to the elements. Winter time is really the best time for a tattoo.

  • Is It OK to Get a Tattoo if Im Sick?

    Getting a tattoo when your immune system isnt at 100% isnt the best idea. Youll need your strength and white blood cells to heal the tattoo, and your body wont be able to do that if its already fighting viruses and bacteria. Not to mention, its very imprudent to bring your disease into a tattoo studio and risk passing germs on to others, especially your artist. If you have an appointment, call and reschedule until you feel well again.

  • Where Can I Find Pictures of Tattoos?

    If youre getting a tattoo, especially as an expression of your personality, why would you want the same tattoo as someone else? Instead, find other images of what youre looking for and let your artist draw a custom design for you. Example: If you want to get a tattoo of a penguin standing on a glacier, find real photos of penguins and glaciers. If you want a blue rose tattoo wrapped around a cross, find images of real roses and crosses that you like. If the images dont show exactly what you want, just take them to your artist to use as a guide and tell them what changes you want to make to the original images. A true artist will gladly accept the challenge of creating an individual work.

Thomas Kuzmyn
love Dave Voeller's art, can't wait to get my sleeve completed! very professional and clean with tons of experience and skill @ Black Castle. I would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone.
James
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

The nicest place I have ever got ink. The place was so clean and sterile. The artwork on the walls are done by the artists that are doing your Tattoos. Speaking of artists, I met 3 of the most talented I've ever seen, and I have a lot of ink, there is Josh, Alex, and Eric. They were the 3 that I met. Alex did my piece and he was excellent. On mine, he drew it like a painting, no stencil or anything. The artist are very professional but they kinda had this camaraderie amongst themselves but if the clients were speaking they seem to feed off of it and it was just a blast. Most fun I've ever had getting a tattoo. Check out some of my photos and you will see the artwork and some ink work that they did. thank you guys!!!😎🐰1️⃣3️⃣
John Dylan
Awesome place and amazing staff! It really is about the art with these guys. Collaborating on the piece was a pleasure cuz i got to pick the brain of a really talented guy! I'll def be coming back to get work from several of the artists here. So Sssiiiiiiiiiiicccc!!

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.
Kristi Braunz
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.
Boz Bundalo
Clean, professional studio. I was there for a whole day session (not done yet) and it was super cozy, pleasurable experience. Angel did my first tattoo (a half sleeve) and man I couldn't be happier. So detailed, clean, his creative input on my initial idea made all the difference. I have been looking for a studio and artist who would do this for me for 2 and a half years and I've seen a lot of good studios but Angel and Black Castle was the right choice. Every single artist there is just unbelievable. So much talent packed into one spot. Crazy. From tiny tattoos to full sleeves or back, the art is insane. If you've been looking for a great studio to do that sick ink, Black Castle Art is my high recommendation.

My husband and I have been going to this shop now for several years. I wrote a review awhile back but have been back in numerous times and just recently had more work done. I myself have had a leg piece done by Eric, my whole arm done by Josh, and my other arm and a cover up on my neck by Mikey. Superior talent through and through! My husband had a partial cover up and an entire huge back piece done by Josh, one leg completely reworked by Eric and is now having his other leg done by Mikey. When you have a piece reworked or covered up, the artists themselves know what is possible and what is unrealistic. They do not want to put their name, reputation, and artwork behind something that is not going to be spectacular! The whole crew there thrive on their art and perfectly executing it on all their clients. I appreciate an artist that is transparent on what they will and will not do. I would rather have the honesty than end up with an awful tattoo. So be open minded. This is their job, passion and expertise. I know I will never go anywhere else! Thanks guys! See you soon!

So much talent packed in one building! I have been getting tattooed from several diffrent artists here over the last 2 years and wish I would have met them sooner! Such nice people and so good at what they do. Everyone that works at Black Castle makes you feel right at home and feel like family. Before you get tattooed do your homework. There are not a lot of shops out there producing this quality of custom artwork. Do yourself a favor and go to Black Castle. You will not regret it!

I am extremely unhappy with the tattoo I received here by Angel. My tattoo does not look like the stencil I was promised. It is on the middle of my upper back and I couldn't see it until the deed was done. I've now spent the last 3 weeks doing laser consultations and talking to other artists on how we can fix or cover this mess. I've had other artists tell me how poor quality the tattoo is, how he overworked areas, how it is uneven, there are blow outs and I now have scar tissue from him going too deep. Mind you this is a small 4 inch tattoo and not a difficult design at all. He added white in at the last minute to try and salvage his dark design (which I specifically said I didn't want anything dark) and now I am going to have to battle the white ink with laser. He also knew I was unhappy and never reached out once. Do not go here. UPDATE: After this review, management of Black Castle reached out to me to try and make this situation somewhat better. However, what happened made my experience even worse. When I went to the shop to have a discussion they referred me to one of their artists to look at options for a possible cover up. I was open and honest about my ideas of doing laser to lighten the tattoo to get something else I would really like, but I was open to seeing what the artist Eric could do. Mind you, this was days ago and not being impatient at all, I sent Eric a photo for inspiration last night (Monday). I simply said hey there, here is another idea. Please let me know if you have any questions. Eric responded in the most unprofessional rude way. I could not believe it. Telling me I needed to "More Open." More open to what?? I had yet to see any design idea or anything. He also told me he didn't want to waste his time on me. There's much more but just know, if I were you, I wouldn't consider working with Eric either unless you want an extremely rude person doing your tattoo. This has all been such a headache and a huge waste of time. I hope everyone reads this review and understands that although this shop may have 5 star-reviews this is the real quality of care they are providing their customers.

When you have a piece reworked or covered up, the artists themselves know what is possible and what is unrealistic. They do not want to put their name, reputation, and artwork behind something that is not going to be spectacular! The whole crew there thrive on their art and perfectly executing it on all their clients. I appreciate an artist that is transparent on what they will and will not do. I would rather have the honesty than end up with an awful tattoo. So be open minded. This is their job, passion and expertise. I know I will never go anywhere else! Thanks guys! See you soon!

So much talent packed in one building! I have been getting tattooed from several diffrent artists here over the last 2 years and wish I would have met them sooner! Such nice people and so good at what they do. Everyone that works at Black Castle makes you feel right at home and feel like family. Before you get tattooed do your homework. There are not a lot of shops out there producing this quality of custom artwork. Do yourself a favor and go to Black Castle. You will not regret it!

I am extremely unhappy with the tattoo I received here by Angel. My tattoo does not look like the stencil I was promised. It is on the middle of my upper back and I couldn't see it until the deed was done. I've now spent the last 3 weeks doing laser consultations and talking to other artists on how we can fix or cover this mess. I've had other artists tell me how poor quality the tattoo is, how he overworked areas, how it is uneven, there are blow outs and I now have scar tissue from him going too deep. Mind you this is a small 4 inch tattoo and not a difficult design at all. He added white in at the last minute to try and salvage his dark design (which I specifically said I didn't want anything dark) and now I am going to have to battle the white ink with laser. He also knew I was unhappy and never reached out once. Do not go here. UPDATE: After this review, management of Black Castle reached out to me to try and make this situation somewhat better. However, what happened made my experience even worse. When I went to the shop to have a discussion they referred me to one of their artists to look at options for a possible cover up. I was open and honest about my ideas of doing laser to lighten the tattoo to get something else I would really like, but I was open to seeing what the artist Eric could do. Mind you, this was days ago and not being impatient at all, I sent Eric a photo for inspiration last night (Monday). I simply said hey there, here is another idea. Please let me know if you have any questions. Eric responded in the most unprofessional rude way. I could not believe it. Telling me I needed to "More Open." More open to what?? I had yet to see any design idea or anything. He also told me he didn't want to waste his time on me. There's much more but just know, if I were you, I wouldn't consider working with Eric either unless you want an extremely rude person doing your tattoo. This has all been such a headache and a huge waste of time. I hope everyone reads this review and understands that although this shop may have 5 star-reviews this is the real quality of care they are providing their customers.

love Dave Voeller's art, can't wait to get my sleeve completed! very professional and clean with tons of experience and skill @ Black Castle. I would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone.
James
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

The nicest place I have ever got ink. The place was so clean and sterile. The artwork on the walls are done by the artists that are doing your Tattoos. Speaking of artists, I met 3 of the most talented I've ever seen, and I have a lot of ink, there is Josh, Alex, and Eric. They were the 3 that I met. Alex did my piece and he was excellent. On mine, he drew it like a painting, no stencil or anything. The artist are very professional but they kinda had this camaraderie amongst themselves but if the clients were speaking they seem to feed off of it and it was just a blast. Most fun I've ever had getting a tattoo. Check out some of my photos and you will see the artwork and some ink work that they did. thank you guys!!!😎🐰1️⃣3️⃣
John Dylan
Awesome place and amazing staff! It really is about the art with these guys. Collaborating on the piece was a pleasure cuz i got to pick the brain of a really talented guy! I'll def be coming back to get work from several of the artists here. So Sssiiiiiiiiiiicccc!!
Christopher Soares
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.
Kristi Braunz
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.
Boz Bundalo
Clean, professional studio. I was there for a whole day session (not done yet) and it was super cozy, pleasurable experience. Angel did my first tattoo (a half sleeve) and man I couldn't be happier. So detailed, clean, his creative input on my initial idea made all the difference. I have been looking for a studio and artist who would do this for me for 2 and a half years and I've seen a lot of good studios but Angel and Black Castle was the right choice. Every single artist there is just unbelievable. So much talent packed into one spot. Crazy. From tiny tattoos to full sleeves or back, the art is insane. If you've been looking for a great studio to do that sick ink, Black Castle Art is my high recommendation.

I've now spent the last 3 weeks doing laser consultations and talking to other artists on how we can fix or cover this mess. I've had other artists tell me how poor quality the tattoo is, how he overworked areas, how it is uneven, there are blow outs and I now have scar tissue from him going too deep. Mind you this is a small 4 inch tattoo and not a difficult design at all. He added white in at the last minute to try and salvage his dark design (which I specifically said I didn't want anything dark) and now I am going to have to battle the white ink with laser. He also knew I was unhappy and never reached out once. Do not go here. UPDATE: After this review, management of Black Castle reached out to me to try and make this situation somewhat better. However, what happened made my experience even worse. When I went to the shop to have a discussion they referred me to one of their artists to look at options for a possible cover up. I was open and honest about my ideas of doing laser to lighten the tattoo to get something else I would really like, but I was open to seeing what the artist Eric could do. Mind you, this was days ago and not being impatient at all, I sent Eric a photo for inspiration last night (Monday). I simply said hey there, here is another idea. Please let me know if you have any questions. Eric responded in the most unprofessional rude way. I could not believe it. Telling me I needed to "More Open." More open to what?? I had yet to see any design idea or anything. He also told me he didn't want to waste his time on me. There's much more but just know, if I were you, I wouldn't consider working with Eric either unless you want an extremely rude person doing your tattoo. This has all been such a headache and a huge waste of time. I hope everyone reads this review and understands that although this shop may have 5 star-reviews this is the real quality of care they are providing their customers.

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
John Dylan
Awesome place and amazing staff! It really is about the art with these guys. Collaborating on the piece was a pleasure cuz i got to pick the brain of a really talented guy! I'll def be coming back to get work from several of the artists here. So Sssiiiiiiiiiiicccc!!

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.

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.

The nicest place I have ever got ink. The place was so clean and sterile. The artwork on the walls are done by the artists that are doing your Tattoos. Speaking of artists, I met 3 of the most talented I've ever seen, and I have a lot of ink, there is Josh, Alex, and Eric. They were the 3 that I met. Alex did my piece and he was excellent. On mine, he drew it like a painting, no stencil or anything. The artist are very professional but they kinda had this camaraderie amongst themselves but if the clients were speaking they seem to feed off of it and it was just a blast. Most fun I've ever had getting a tattoo. Check out some of my photos and you will see the artwork and some ink work that they did. thank you guys!!!😎🐰1️⃣3️⃣

Clean, professional studio. I was there for a whole day session (not done yet) and it was super cozy, pleasurable experience. Angel did my first tattoo (a half sleeve) and man I couldn't be happier. So detailed, clean, his creative input on my initial idea made all the difference. I have been looking for a studio and artist who would do this for me for 2 and a half years and I've seen a lot of good studios but Angel and Black Castle was the right choice. Every single artist there is just unbelievable. So much talent packed into one spot. Crazy. From tiny tattoos to full sleeves or back, the art is insane. If you've been looking for a great studio to do that sick ink, Black Castle Art is my high recommendation.

My husband and I have been going to this shop now for several years. I wrote a review awhile back but have been back in numerous times and just recently had more work done. I myself have had a leg piece done by Eric, my whole arm done by Josh, and my other arm and a cover up on my neck by Mikey. Superior talent through and through! My husband had a partial cover up and an entire huge back piece done by Josh, one leg completely reworked by Eric and is now having his other leg done by Mikey. When you have a piece reworked or covered up, the artists themselves know what is possible and what is unrealistic. They do not want to put their name, reputation, and artwork behind something that is not going to be spectacular! The whole crew there thrive on their art and perfectly executing it on all their clients. I appreciate an artist that is transparent on what they will and will not do. I would rather have the honesty than end up with an awful tattoo. So be open minded. This is their job, passion and expertise. I know I will never go anywhere else! Thanks guys! See you soon!

So much talent packed in one building! I have been getting tattooed from several diffrent artists here over the last 2 years and wish I would have met them sooner! Such nice people and so good at what they do. Everyone that works at Black Castle makes you feel right at home and feel like family. Before you get tattooed do your homework. There are not a lot of shops out there producing this quality of custom artwork. Do yourself a favor and go to Black Castle. You will not regret it!
