Everyone there was friendly and not pretentious. I am 40 yrs. old and don't look like someone that'd have and want tattoos. This was my third tattoo and the best experience of all. Thanks Colby!! I'll definately be back and will recommend y...
Colby did a memorial dog print from a impression I had. He did an awesome job !! The staff was friendly. I'll will going back for sure !!
I have seen the tattoos that have been created
here, and I think they are mindblowing! Anyone looking for a tattoo should definately check out this shop first!
I went to a few of the local shops to get prices and see how I felt about who would be most likely to give me the tattoo that I had in my mind. Working with Phoenix was a positive experience all around. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Me & my Fiance had tattoos done by Colby & Marco Last night. I traveled outside of my comfort zone away from my usual artist and they delivered some of the best work ive seen. Staff is very professional and courteous. Also very understanding and have a great perception of what you want and can make it coem to life for you. I recommend them & will be returning to have more added to this tattoo....
I moved to Raleigh Nov. '08, and have been searching for a tattoo artist since then. I had taken a design I wanted to a tattoo shop in the area and told them I wanted it as it was drawn, with no black outline. The man behind the counter proceeded to tell me that it would look better with the outline, and that it would look stupid without it. So I left and got on Citysearch and found Phoenix Tatto...
First time getting ink in Raleigh and it will not be my last, staff is very professional, very clean and well organized parlor. They have a great website with all the artists work displayed which makes your decision very easy. I highly recommend Phoenix if your looking for new ink. Lacie was great, I will definetly be back.
The place is very chill and comfortable, all the artists portfoios were really impressive... Lacie did an awesome job on the tattoo, she's a great artist and a lot of fun to hang out with for a few hours... highly recommended...
Marco that works at Pheonix tatoo just gave me my first tatoo. I love him. I went to blue flame first...big mistake. I was told that my simple tatoo would cost 180 bucks and that it pretty much kinda sucked in so many words. WOW!!!! I know, seriously?? So I left and went to phoenix and talked to Marco (who made me feel like a million dollars) who made my dream of getting a tatoo happen. Simple, 6...
Everyone was polite and helpful from the first time I walked in to the shop. Steve is an amazing artist. He took the time to listen to me describe what I wanted and he showed genuine interest in my ideas. He designed an amazing tattoo for me and did a stellar job putting it on me. I could not be happier. A+++++
I have wanted a tattoo for about 10 years and finally decided to bite the bullet and get one done. We are from Chicago, so we searched Citysearch for a parlor and Phoenix came highly recommended. Even though they were busy, Kelly was able to fit both my husband and myself in right away.
When you walk in the shop is clean, bright, and inviting and all the artists are very nice. We worked w...
I walked in out of the rain with a bunch of printed ideas for two tattoos I wanted to get. The receptionist immediately came over to assist me, little did i know i was going into too much detail on what i wanted and didn't realize she only asked a simple question =)
She sent me right over to Marco where he figured out exactly what i was trying to communicate with my little pictures. At this p...
Let me preface this review by saying I am a pain in the A$$ and very demanding.
I decided on a design around the first of 2009 and tried to find an artist that i believed would do it justice. I found one on line 500 miles away in PA. and called for an appointment. He was booked 60 days out. (This was June)
During this wait I came accross the Phoenix facebook page and noticed Lacies work th...
I had my first tattoo designed by Steve. He was incredible! He took a picture I brought in and redrew it more beautifully than I could have ever imagined, and then the final work was detailed and colored to perfection. It was so much more than I had hoped for, I could not be happier. (well, except for the pain of it all but that is another story)
The atmosphere is clean but I would prefer ...
Wow! I'd been to Warlocks before and found a lot of attitude. At Blue Phoenix I felt comfortable and safe. I watched the artist, Lacie, open the needles and cover everything in plastic. She explained what we would do and how to handle aftercare. You know a tattoo artist is good when you have to ask them to stop for a sec because you have to laugh. Even while doling out the pain, Lacie was f...
I recently had a piece done on my arm and would like to thank Marco ... Ill be back!
Got a nice size tattoo done on my upper arm by Marco and I love it!!! It is way more than what I had expected. He took what I wanted and put a crazy spin on it and it came out wonderful!
I got my first tattoo at Phoenix and had an excellent experience with Lacie as my artist.
She did an absolutely outstanding job at bringing my beloved image to life. The aftercare instructions were explained thoroughly and the environment was exceedingly clean.
I could not have been happier with my experience and will definitely go back. I highly recommend Phoenix!
Like you have read in the other posts, the male receptionist almost made me turn around and leave. He was very arrogant and acted as if he did not want the business.
I have four other tattoos that I have gotten at Warlocks and Buck-A-Tattz. On the recommendation of a friend, I thought I would give Phoenix a try. For all other tattoos, I will go to Buck-A-Tattz. At least there, you are provided...
I just got my first tattoo at Phoenix and had a very good experience with Steve as the artist. He was very approachable and made me feel very comfortable. He did some great color work for me (based on my vague image and description) to make my design really pop, and I have gotten so many heartfelt compliments already.
I would say though, the receptionist (girl) was pretty goofy over the p...
This is my first tattoo and it took me a long time to find a studio and artist I liked. After looking at other studios in town, I met with Steve and showed him the design I had and he was very professional and understanding during our conference. He took the time to talk to me about the meaning behind the design and he discussed the minor tweaks he made to it before finalizing the design. Some of...
i highly recommend this place, annie has always been great to work with and does phenomenal work and everyone that works there is awesome (except the girl that works the desk... but shes not there too often). i've had nothing but good experiences, and have always felt welcome.
i appreciate the honesty in regards to what can and cannot be tattooed on my body (realistic results!) and it is wort...
After getting a tattoo I wasn't completely satisfied with from another establishment, I made an appointment with Annie from Phoenix tattoos to see if anything could be done to improve my tat.
From the moment I met Annie, she was extremely sweet and approachable. She understood my concerns and the vision I had and worked with me to the best of her ability.
Not only does Annie's talent shine thr...
After receiving a personal recommendation from someone close to me, I decided to get my most recent tattoo at Phoenix. The experience was fantastic - the staff I dealt with was very pleasant and accomodating. I can't say enough positive things about Steve, the artist who did my tattoo. He took my barebones design of a lotus flower and turned it into a work of art. He's amazing, and I would recomm...
after doing some research i finally decided to go to this parlor.. i must say that i could not have been happier. The staff is very very nice and helpful. Work was A+..
This is the best tattoo studio in Raleigh. I've been twice and recommend it to all my friends looking for ink. Steve is my artist and he is great! The artists are all extremely talented while being super friendly and willing to work with you. Great for seasoned tattoo lovers as well as first timers looking to enter the wonderful world of body art.
Way better than Blue Flame!
I was looking for a certain style for my next tattoo and I found Lacie Frain...little did I know what an excellent choice I made! From the extremely clean shop to the great service by Kelly to the amazing workmanship of Lacie....I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else ever again! Thanks to all there who make ya feel at home!
Got my third tattoo at Phoenix last night - first visit there. This shop is appointment only, very professional and willing to work with you to make your design fit your style and your body. Steve Clark did my design but the entire staff was friendly and courteous and it's the best tat I've gotten to date.
This is my third tattoo that was done by Lacie Fran over at Phoenix Tattoo. I've been to many shops around town over the last 8 years but once I found Phoenix and Lacie I vowed to never go elsewhere. All the artist are absolutely great! They treat you are friends and not as clients which is important for someone that you will spend and hour or two with. If you are looking to get a tattoo check ou...
I got my first tattoo just over two weeks ago at Phoenix Tattoo. I was advised that two weeks was around the time it would take for it to heal and I can't express how perfect it looks and how much I love it. The entire process went really smoothly, there was a good atmosphere, and Marco (the artist who did my tattoo) was very understanding about exactly what I wanted. The aftercare instructions I...
I just got my first tattoo done by Annie and not only was she sweet and friendly, but she made me feel at ease and calmed my nerves down so that I wasn't scared. The atmosphere is great and everyone was friendly and extremely funny and entertaining as I waited.
If you're a first timer like myself, I say give Phoenix a try, because not only were they really personable but they've got some grea...
After 8 years of research, I finally got my fist tattoo on April 8 at Phoenix. Everyone was very friendly and professional, and I felt very comfortable. Lacie was my artist, and she did an absolutely fantastic job at bringing my beloved image to life. Healing and care were explained thoroughly and the environment was exceedingly clean. Prices were beyond reasonable for the excellent work bein...
I received my first tattoo just the other day. This is something that I had been thinking about for a while but just could not seem to make the commitment. Although I'm 46 years old and never had a tat, I found that Steve Clark at Phoenix was willing to sat down with me and discuss exactly what I wanted and then came up with a great design. Super place of business, with 4 artists and Kelly, who ...
I just got inked at Phoenix. Steve did a wonderful job, and I LOVE my new tatt. Everyone was nice, they put my right at ease. I was nervous because my tattoo was going on top of my foot, and I had heard so many stories about how bad it hurt. Kelly was kind and professional when she checked me in and Steve quickly calmed my nerves. They were clean, professional and I will never get ink anywhe...
This is one of the most professional shops I have ever visited. The counter staff is helpful, friendly, and greatly skilled at helping you start the process of getting your new tattoo. The shop itself is kept extremely clean, and in excellent working order. You walk into a warm atmosphere, are greeted by smiling faces, and are spoken to with the respect you deserve. The artists are astounding at...
i am extremely happy with my tatto from lacie, she was right on with the piece & added an awesome touch of her own. i was impressed by the cleanliness & professional setting of Phoenix. I will definitley be returning & referring others.
I spent a lot of time researching places for my first tattoo. Nothing seemed to fit right. Then I stumbled onto this place (from THIS website) when searching for a place for a friend. After checking out the artist's portfolios online I settled on Lacie. I came in for a consultation and she said she would email me the final drawing for my custom work. I was not disappointed. She did tons of resear...
The staff was amazing. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of work. I was able to connect with my artist (Lacie) and she was so nice! She drew up the most beautiful piece and we were able to do it the next day. I loved it! I recommend Phoenix Tattoo to anyone looking for great work and a great experience.
Phoenix all around is a nice shop. and I could go on and on about various aspects of the store and my experience but the bottom line is this: when I want a tattoo I want it to be a custom drawn piece, I want it done well - what I don't want is to end up getting ripped off, and I don't want to endure a bad attitude.
That is why I go to Phoenix tattoo.
thanks guys!
i have dealt with a few other tattoo shops in the area. i am very impressed with Phoenix Tattoo. everyone there is friendly, helpful, and non-intimidating. the place is clean and well kept from the waiting area to the restroom and in between. their appointment keeping system is detailed and efficient. they offered me a drink (water, soda) at the beginning of my session, and afterwards they g...
I had my first tattoo experience yesterday at Phoenix. I'm 49 years old and this was a big decision for me. I brought a picture with me of the tattoo I wanted. Steve, the artist who helped me, took a picture and turned it into a work of art! He took a lot of time explaining what he was going to do with the tattoo, sketching it to a thing of beauty. The salon itself was very clean and sanitary. Th...
First tat and I have no regrets. Lacie is da shiz. Very Friendly and able to keep you entertained while work is being done. 5 stars without hesitation!!!
Great custom tattoos. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Very clean and professional. I definitely suggest getting tattooed here.
This studio is one of the cleanest places I have ever seen. When you walk in you are helped right away, the desk people can answer any questions you have right off the bat. What I liked was that the artists don't seem like you are wasting their time, they pay full attention to you, and try to understand what you are looking for, instead of sending you to the flash books for ideas. I came out o...
I have gotten tat's in different places in the south east, and I have to say that Annie really impressed me. Not only was she a great artist, but also very friendly and helpfully. She helped me redesign my own idea and work into this beautiful piece of art that I want to show off to everyone. On top of all that, everyone was so friendly that I hardly was aware I was getting inked. The best part w...
The artist at Phoenix Tattoo are very polite and helpful. When I went in asking about a tattoo, they were very kind and informative. The shop is very clean and I love the artwork that was displayed on the walls. I think that adds a nice touch to the place instead of walls and walls of flash. That gave me the idea that they were all about creative artwork. I love my tattoo and I want to show it of...
I have lived a lot of places and gotten a lot of tattoos, since I have lived in Raleigh this is the only place I have considered going. The shop is clean and the atmosphere is welcoming, the tattoo artist specialize in doing custom work (not just cheap pick it off the wall "flash").
Anne does my tattoos - Marco is doing my girlfriends back piece. Honestly I would not consider going anywhe...
each artist there has very different styles and are very creative. go try out each one! they are truly amazing!!!
