My first tattoo was inked on me today. I waited nearly 15 years for this life goal to become a reality. I went to Phoenix Tattoo and to see Lacie at the referral of a good friend. He has a sleeve she's done and I admired her work. My ask was a bit more simple. Phoenix Tattoo is a clean and modest shop with nice atmosphere and great music playing. Lacie welcomed my wife and me warmly, set me at ease instantly. Her easy manor as we discussed final details and confirmed the size and position of the tattoo left me assured I would have a top-notch experience.
And I am not disappointed!
I'm thankful for Lacie's patience, care and attention to detail. My tattoo has come out far better than I (or my wife!) even imagined! I look forward to sharing this new look with my family and friends. I'm even more grateful to Lacie for making my first tattoo experience such a memorable one.
If you are getting your first, or hundredth, tattoo, and you are local, I recommend starting with Phoenix Tattoo. You won't be disappointed.
Now, for tattoo number two... = )

I went today for the Wags for Tags fundraiser. The shop is clean and employees are professional and helpful. The art is beautiful and and they make it easy to customize your piece how you want it. Lacey did this piece and it looks amazing and she finished it quickly while still ensuring quality. She constantly checked to make sure it didn't hurt, and asked regularly if I needed a break and made sure I was ok. I'm so happy with my experience and recommend this shop to anyone looking for a quality tattoo.

This is a long review, but worth reading if your thinking about getting a tattoo! Remember this is artwork that you’ll have on your body for life...
In October I went to the shop to check it out for cleanliness, set up, and get an idea on price. It’s not my 1st tattoo, but everyone shoIuld look for these things regardless if you have 44 tats or it’s your 1st. Their stations as well as the shop was squared away and look very clean. I spoke to Chris whom answered all my questions and was very helpful. I told him what I wanted done and he walked me over to the books they have. He also suggested to check out the artists on Instagram. After looking online I liked the other artist work, but I found Ms Lacie’s work to be what I was looking for.
When I talked to her she is down to earth and LISTENED to what I wanted done. After all her help I knew she was the artist I wanted. I still had 3 other shops on my list to visit, but felt no reason to go and research anywhere else. Phoenix Tattoos hit all my marks and expectations! I set up my appointment and was now more excited about my art after talking to her.
My Tattoo:
I got there early and her station was all set for me and she was just finishing up my artwork. She asked me if the design is good and was willing to make any changes that need to be done. She also checked wit me several times for the placement of my tattoo. She was very thorough and took the time to answer all my questions. She understands that this is for life and wanted me to be happy. At no time did I feel that I was being rushed, she is very chill and understanding. Like I said I have several tattoos and she is a very skilled artist and I didn’t feel like she was carving into my body that I’ve had other artist do. She also asked me several times throughout if I needed a break, if so she was willing to stop. She made me feel more like a friend instead of a customer.
When my tattoo was finished she gave me a total rundown on what to expect the next few days as well as the next few weeks in the care of my tattoo. She also gave me a package that had the A&D ointment and Lubriderm moisturizing cream to make sure I use the right stuff in taking care of my tattoo. Also had a card inside reiterating everything she just told me so if I forgot anything it was all there. She also said that if I have any questions at all from everything that’s been done, to the care of my tattoo or any touchups that needed to be done feel free to contact her or anyone at the shop.
I am extremely pleased wit her work and my tattoo. I’ve got tattoos from famously known Jersey shops and she, hands down, was the best artist I’ve ever had! I have already scheduled another appointment in December for another and plan on getting my future tattoos from her at Phoenix Tattoos.
TL;DR This is the place to get your tattoo if you like a friendly place, a clean shop, good prices, and outstanding artists for your tattoo.

Lacie runs a mighty fine shop. She is insanely talented. Listen to her advice on your piece and it'll be even better than you thought!

My Tudor Rose tat done at Phoenix 5nyears ago. I had wanted it for years. Phoenix did a perfect job, and the artist was kind and we chatted through the whole thing. Have another in mind, and I'll definitely be calling them.
