I love this tattoo parlor!! Personally I think the inside is very pretty, and they have enclosed rooms for people when they get tattooed which definitely helps on the privacy side of things. The environment on the inside is very inviting in regards to the artists too! They make great conversation and are all very friendly. I’ve never had a bad experience, and I always see Gilbert for my tattoos! I’m not from Arizona (I visit quarterly from Minnesota) and I originally went and saw Gilbert at his past location. When he moved locations I followed suit. He’s been tattooing me for the past five years now and he’s the friendliest funniest guy I know....read full review
Gilbert is the man you go to if you want high quality work. We just toasted to the final session on my sleeve a couple weeks ago. If you are looking for a true artist who will be up front and straight with you through the entire experience, look no further.
It’s not just tattoos as well, this man is crisp in many other mediums as well. His sketch work, painting, and mural work are also phenomenal. Not just stencil work here, his freehand stuff is clean.
Highly recommended and I will be returning for future work.
Roughly 20 hours deep on my first ever piece with Gilbert. He took my reference and brought it to live more than I thought possible. “I’ve never seen something like this” and “it doesn’t look real” are common place compliments I’ve received so far.
I spend a wasteful amount of time just staring at it in the mirror 😂
Highly recommend Gilbert (Script) for any work you want done.
