I had SUCH a comfortable time here -- I know that's an odd word to choose, but I've been in a number of tattoo shops where you just get weird looks and aloof artists. I walked in with no appointment tonight (Tuesday, 5/8) and Jamie immediately made me feel welcome, asked what I was after, and quoted me the single most reasonable price I've gotten in years. I'm pretty sure I was in and out in under an hour total, from the moment I walked in till the moment I left, and I can't be happier with either my tattoo or my experience. Once it's healed better, I'll be sure to share a photo - it's very simple, but I'm still thrilled! Read Less

Jamie tattooed my owl on my arm!!! I knew I was going to go back there from the moment I walked in and had a conversation with Jamie. We made an appt for April 4th I went in with an idea of what I wanted unfortunately that idea wasn't able to happen due to space on my arm, Jamie drew up something and I instantly fell in love with the piece he drew up!! Would completely recommend Main Street Tattoo. Jamie is brutally honest and professional!!! The whole staff there are pleasant and fun!! Can't wait to get my next tattoo!! Read Less

Jamie has been tattooing me, my family and friends for years. You give him an idea and he will make it a reality, but who am I kidding he will blow it out of the water. Jamie has been working on a sleeve for my husband and let me tell you, it’s beyond what he or I could have imagined. I honestly cannot say enough nice things about his shop! I will continue to send my friends and family to Main Street and Jamie - I’m next! Read Less

Called to ask if they sold tattoo supplies by chance ....to guy told me no and that's cool but when I asked him if he knew any place in mesa that sold supplies he said no and if he did know he still wouldn't help me out .....Lmmfbao.....such a douchebag...hey buddy take the stick out your ass....maybe he knew I was black and didn't wanna help me for that reason who knows these days ....sad really Read Less

The artists at Main Street Tattoo are clean, have reasonable prices and can tattoo better than anyone else in Arizona. It is the only tattoo shop I will ever go to. Don't waste your money somewhere else, go to Main Street. Read Less

Derek is my artist, four times now. Were already planning my next appt. I love the people at Main street, there very friendly. I get many compliments on my tattoos and tell people to go to Main Street !!! I look forward to each appt. Thanks Main Street Tattoo, your awsome !!! Read Less

I have  got my whole sleeve done by Jamie . I know I will not be going anywhere else EVER ! Jamie knows what he's doing and what he's talking about .  I went I. With an idea and came out even with work even better then I could imagine. His detail is amazing ! Thank you again Jamie  for making my vision come true Read Less

Mike C. is an amazing artist! He's been doing my sisters tattoos, including our friends for awhile now. I got two tattoos done from him on Thursday and was super nervous since it's been awhile since my last tattoo. He was super patient with me and I couldn't be happier with his work. Already I have gotten so many compliments. I will definitely refer him to everyone I know. Thank you! Read Less

Went to Main Street was not impressed with supposedly a good tattoo artist everyone there is good don't go to Arron Hall 1st time I went to him I got a terrible tattoo and charge me a grip of money not worth paying back to basic for him also gave him a $50 deposit and charge me $300 for a tattoo and took him 2 hours very disappointed Read Less

My daughter received her second tattoo yesterday fr Eric at Main Street Tattoo, awesome place and awesome guy, Thanks Eric, we r customers for life, anyone looking for a badass tattoo im telling u go to Main Street Tattoo!! Read Less

Jamie did my rib piece about 4 years ago and every last bit of color that he put in has not lost its tone. Most people freak about color washing out/fading out but it literally looks just as new even through heavy sun abuse and being a roofer that likes to be shirtless. Read Less

I have been tattooed by Jamie a couple times and I am bringing my (adult) son to Main Street Tattoo to be tattooed by Jamie, his tattoo and art skills are phenomenal!! The shop is really nice, extra clean you can tell right away this is a business that a lot of pride of ownership, the artists have excellent portfolios and will give you amazing tattoo's. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS SHOP!! Read Less

Go see Aaron! I've been following Aaron from shop to shop for a few years now and REFUSE to see anyone else. He recently just settled into this shop and I like it here a lot. Nice and clean and the guys and the receptionist are pretty rad. Everyone here does amazing work, but like I said, I'm loyal to Aaron and Aaron only (: Read Less

Jamie was the artist that did my "first" tattoo, and I have watched him do several of my wife's tattoos. He is honest with designs and very professional. (In his own way) Short story is that he redesigned it and all I could say was... Damn! The crew there were supportive and very cool! Well worth the 5 stars and anyone thinking of getting a tattoo should check them out! Thanks Jamie! Read Less

Jamie did my husbands first tattoo the other night. He is freaking AWESOME. He's ver talented and takes the Time to make sure what you want and is very honest!!! He has done three of mine and always amazes me on his work! The shop is VERY clean and the people are really cool. Read Less

My daughter and I wanted tattoos but couldn't figure out what exactly we wanted. Derek drew up designs for us and was able to fit us in the same day and he did awesome work! We are so happy with the result. Thanks Derek, you rock! Read Less

Clean, professional and worth the money. Jamie had kept an Arizona landmark alive and more than deserves the recognition of his work. I will definitely be getting more work done here and would recommend them to any of my friends. Read Less

Owner Jamie Bartlett and crew are an awesome group of artists. The vibe @ Main Street Tattoo couldn't be more inviting! The whole team there is super chill and you don't get any of that pretentious attitude like many shops in the valley. I won't be going anywhere else for my future tattoo work! If you have had bad experiences @ other shops Main Street Tattoo is the shop that will change your view on the tattoo experience for sure! I am currently working on my right arm sleeve and couldn't be more pleased! So if you have been searching for the right shop to get your ink look no further! Read Less

Jamie, the owner of/artist of the shop, is one of a kind. He is true to his own style of his craft, and he excellent at it. My brother is a long time customer of Jamie, and while I was a loyal fan of another artist, I couldn't help but admire Jamie's talent.I had a brief vision of what I wanted, and Jamie took it,  ran, and made it 100% better. He crafted it into a stunning piece that I get to wear forever. I can confidently say that no other artist that I have been to would have done the same. I am also familiar and like Jamie's style, which are two important factors in choosing your artist.He was thorough, professional, and clean. The dermal care products he used, during the session and after, are top of the line. People don't consider all the costs that go into tattooing. If you're going to exasperate the largest organ in my body for multiple hours on a gorgeous piece, Jamie is worth every penny. Read Less

This was my first tattoo and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! The service was incredible, the people working were incredibly helpful and really had great recommendations for placing and shading. They completely made the experience. I would definitely go back in a heart beat.Read Less

My tattoo came out great but they told me it was going to be $200 and I had already paid 50$ to hold the appointment so I was expecting to pay $150 the day I got it done but I had to pay $200 even though I had already put down $50. This ended up being a $250 tattoo after we shrunk the size and I put a deposit down to hold the appointment. I wouldn't recommend going here. Read Less

To be honest, I didn't get in the door. I was recommended to the shop by a friend who is fanatical about the owner/artist Jamie. When I presented him with an idea that was very significant to me, he was dismissive of it. He could be bothered to do it, but decided it lacked artistry. It takes a lot of ignorance to decide something needs arbitrary gradients or japanese flowers to suit his aesthetic and ignore the person who will be wearing it forever. I can't speak for the other artists that may be in the shop, but an ego that enormous must influence those around it. His work is the same as many other shops and has the sterotypical attitude to match. It's competent work. Read Less

I have been going to this place for 21 years.  I have gotten tattoos as well as piercings and I have never left with any regrets. I just had work done by Jamie. He was clean, professional, gave me a great price, and did a piece that was beyond what I imagined.  I would go back to him in a heart beat. Read Less

This is an awesome place with talented artists. Walked in and was helped immediately. Was pretty exciting when I was telling the girl at the front desk was I wanted and Jamie jumped up and said my American Traditional was his thing and he was stoked with my idea. Despite the pain of having a chest tattoo, Jamie made it fun. They dont accept cards but but they have an ATM right in the shop so no problems. All in all, great artists, great shop and fun times.

I have been wanting another tattoo for a couple of years and went into this shop with a girlfriend in 2013. I love color and she was having a black and white done and after talking with Otis he referred me to Juan. Juan is an amazing artist that specializes in color. He has a great touch, not heavy handed. I am having a half sleeve done and just finished my 3rd session  with only one more to go. I have received so many compliments already without it being finished. He does not waste time. ...he works diligently and carefully to make sure every little detail is precise. I highly recommend Juan and this shop. Very clean and nice friendly staff. The construction is a pain in the rear but well worth manuevering through  if you want a good quality tattoo to last you a lifetime. No regrets...already planning the next one Read Less

Juan is the best! Top notch artwork and speed. He does exceptional line work, detail and shading. I told him what I wanted, he sketched it for me and it has come out even better than I had hoped. I saw a friends full back tattoo and had to know who did it! I was looking to get half my back done and didn't want just anyone doing it. Since then, many people have asked where/who did the work so they could contact him for themselves. I highly recommend Juan...you will not be disappointed :) Read Less

I'll start by saying that the artists at this shop have incredible artistic ability.  I recently got a cover-up tattoo by Juan and couldn't be happier with his work.  The photos I've attached show it after an 8-hour session, so it's about half way finished.  Juan stayed late to accommodate my work schedule and drew the art on the spot.  The colors and line work are incredible!I highly recommend this shop to anyone who's looking for talented artists who can do more than just tattoo something off the wall (although I'm sure they can do that too).

Talk about a hidden gem. I found this place online and was immediately drawn to Otis' work since he specializes in black and grey tattoos (same as I was looking to get). Loved what I saw online in his portfolio so I thought I'd give it a try. He was helpful in that he told me to email him any ideas and pictures I had so he could get an idea of what I was looking for, and provided any suggestions he had. All in all, I'm glad I took a chance on this place and am real happy with the final product. Read Less

This is a studio in the Urban Art chain of tattoo and piercing and it's brand new, clean, well stocked with flash and amazing talent. I recommend Sage, the owner for professional and clean lined portrait tattoos that bear a striking resemblance to the photos you provide. I think you will enjoy the precision piercings, award winning tattoos and payment options available at Urban Art II. Remember to get a gift card! Read Less
