Let's get inked...

This place is great, I highly recommend it for many reasons if you are interested in a Tat or piercing:

1. It super clean
2. the artists are all very talented and cool, you spend a lot time with them as they ink you, so they better be easy to talk to.
3. It has great prices and a wide selection of people to reate their art on you

It's true that tattooing is addicting, I already have my next one picked out,  enhancing a small existing tattoo I have now into something more elaborate and artistic.   You have to put a lot of trust into your  Tattoo artist, and at Divinity I totally trusted Dan, (tattoo Dan, not Piercing Dan) He was great and very talented.

Wow. That's what I'll start off by saying.

I'm giving Dan M. 5 enormous stars. He was professional, attentive, creative, accommodating and, most of all, honest. He'll tell you about complimentary colors and placement. He helped me get a tattoo I absolutely love. I could not be happier. Honestly.

Don't judge the place or the artists by the girl behind the counter. She seems a bit out of it. I'm sure she means well, but damn, talk about the wrong first impression. I'm glad I decided to stick with Divinity. I picked Dan M. out of the portfolio books on the counter. His shading and line work are top-notch. I already want another tat! And I can guarantee I'll go back to him, without a moment's hesitation. He is such a laid back, friendly and talented artist. You'll see for yourself; some of his own personal art hangs on the wall. He's very talentd!

I really wish I could capture just how great he and my experience was. Alas, words escape me. But, trust me, if you're looking to get a tattoo, check out Divinity. Walk in; take a look at the portfolios; book an appointment. Hell, just say you want to book your appointment with Tattoo Dan! (That's what he told me to call him, since there's also a Piercing Dan.)

While you're there, check out the really cool decor. It's such a cool looking tat shop with personality. The atmosphere is very relaxing, which is key, I think, to getting a great tat. No need to work yourself up into a tizzy - or you may pass out like a Frenchman did! Just relax. The pain is part of the pleasure. Ya gotta earn your ink!

While at Divinity, I heard a wide range of music. I was afraid it was going to be the Satan-Worship-Scream-Rock all the time, since that's what I heard when I booked my appointment the week before. Luckily, I heard none of that during the 5 hours I was chillin' at Divinity.

When I sat down to get inked, Radiohead came on. Perfect. My tat took about 30 minutes (from first needle prick to last), but Dan M. was helpful in talking with me beforehand about shading, size, placement, treatment, etc. He wanted to make sure I left happy. Well, Dan, I didn't leave happy. I LEFT ECSTATIC! I'm so glad I went through with it, found a design I absolutely love and got it exactly where and how I wanted it (with a little guidance from Dan.) I can't wait to go back to get my next one!

Tips for your next, new tat:
*When booking, drop in to look at the books on the counter - see which artists aligns with the type of tat you're looking for. If you want superb work, go with Tattoo Dan. He's the man.
*Stock up on Vaseline and anti-bacterial soap. You'll need it.
*Get ready to pay $40 deposit when you book your appointment. (The $40 goes toward the total price of your ink.)
*Bring in a sketch or picture of what you want, so the artist can book adequate time for you.
*Try and be sure of what you want. The guys don't like it when clients change their mind at the last minute, for it puts them behind with other clients and you may have to re-schedule your own appointment due to the extra time it'll take. If you do change your mind, drop in a couple days before your appt and give 'em your new sketch/pic. They'll appreciate it!
*Make sure to eat before you get inked.
*Get ready to earn your ink! While my tat barely hurt, it's cool to know you gotta endure a little pain for something so meaningful and beautiful!

Scottsdale's finest tattoo artists dwell here. The shop is beautiful. If nothing else check out the decor, its off the hook.

I mean, if I am going to get a tattoo or piercing, I am going here. And I am a tattoo/piercing snob too. The staff is awesome of course, very clean, I don't even need to say more, just go there.
