What Our Clients Have To Say

I’ve been going to Sadboy Studios since they opened and have had the pleasure of getting tattooed by different artists as well! Every artist is extremely talented. From my own experience, I consider them to be a fair price based on their individual talents. The shop offers a variety of artists; so whether you want traditional work, anime, cyber realism, horror; they have many artists who can create the vision of the tattoo you have in mind. Each artist does have flash designs as well! Tattoos have been done by Miguel, Sadboy, Kiki, X and tattoo Jester.

Been here a few times throughout the years and the quality of tattoos is great. I still get compliments on the pieces I’ve gotten here. Sad Boy Studio staff is professional, friendly, and overall amazing at what they do. They’ve always made me feel comfortable whenever I go in which unfortunately has not been the same experience at other studios in the valley so I love that I felt welcomed here. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get a tattoo!

Yaqui S.

This is hands down one of the best studios in AZ you can go to. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Every artist is uniquely skilled. I go to Pablo and the man has yet to let me down with his precision and creativity.

Helen C.

In town for the weekend and Kylie hooked me up with a tattoo I had been thinking about for a long time! Had a great experience, she was super easy and comfortable to work with. And now I finally have the amazing piece of art I have been envisioning! Would 100% return for another tattoo here, especially with Kylie!

IMy go-to tattoo shop in phoenix !!! Emylee is the artist I work with and they’re absolutely amazing at what they do. Everyone in the shop makes the place so comfortable and inviting and there’s no judgement/everyone is so supportive. It’s always super clean/sanitary in the studio. On top of it they have amazing flash designs and if you want your own design then this is the place for creative artists and a variety of styles per artist too. 10/10 recommend this studio <3
