Tat-Fu Tattoo

Awesome experience! I got my first tattoo here last Saturday by Cam. He took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted, and took an idea and made it a beautiful reality. He made the experience as painless as possible and I am thrilled with the result. His watercolor technique exceeded my expectations and I’ve received so many compliments. I would definitely go back if I feel the urge for another tattoo. Thanks Cam!

I had the greatest experience here! I was really nervous for my nose piercing, but Ryan (I think) calmed me down and talked me through it. It didn’t even hurt and I loved the position he put it in and it turned out great! He also made sure I knew how to do the aftercare and was clear to NOT touch it until its healed completely. After the first tattoo parlor was a bust and the piercer wasn’t there, I was glad I found this place and he helped me out. Very nice service and the guys were super friendly there! Would go here again for something else. :)

Appreciated the professionalism from all staff. Landis made my first experience getting a tattoo the best it could be. He took the time to make sure my tattoo was exactly what I wanted and offered suggestions and really listened to me as well. The detail and tight lines was what I wanted and he didn’t disappoint. Thank you Tat-​fu and many thanks to Landis! I will definitely come here again and highly recommend this shop!

Very friendly staff. Landis did an amazing job on my realistic rose. I went in with very high expectations and he exceeded them all. Very pleased with my experience here and would definitely recommend this shop and Landis to anyone wanting a tattoo.

Great customer service, great experience!
Me and my friend went in to get piercings and they were so quick! We only had an hour to get them done before class and he took less than an hour to get them both done, we both love our piercings and he was super friendly and nice when he did them. Would definitely come back here!

The piercer is awesome. He is so friendly, he makes you feel comfortable, and is clean. I’ve always been assisted immediately and they changed my nose ring 3 times for free.

Had my Sea Turtle tattoo done here by Cam, his work is top of the line. Very knowledgeable and explained everything I will definitely be returning here for any future tattoos. FYI Cam DOES NOT us vegan ink, because vegan ink does not exist. Price was very reasonable. $ 160

I have not been tattooed here yet.
My boyfriend i went in one night fairly late just to look at some portfolios (I’m kind of a baby about who tattoos me, all mine currently are the same artist) The gentleman at the desk was very welcoming and told us to take our time just looking through all the artists work.
I had heard great things about Nick through the grape vine. We asked if he was available and he was currently with a client but told us he was more than willing to speak to me if I could just hangout for a few minutes while he finished up.
Shortly later he came out and was very cool and personable. We told him we were going to check out a few other shops and he took no offense and understood.
I ended up calling a few days later to set up a consultation (it’s a big piece)
At the consultation Nick was VERY professional and a total gentleman. He took his time talking over things and throwing around ideas. I’m more excited now over this piece than I was before.
So everyone saying they are all jerks, I’m totally shocked by your experience. Mine was the absolute opposite.

I didn’t catch the name of the guy working when I was there, but I went in when I was visiting town to have some jewelry put into my cartilage piercing. The piercer explained that the jewelry I had brought with me would damage my ear, so he showed me what he recommended and discussed why it was a better choice. He only charged me the price of the jewelry.
There were 2 piercings before me, so I had to wait a bit before he could get to me. The 2 girls were messing around and took longer than he expected, and the piercer apologized multiple times for making me wait (even though I didn’t mind). He even cut $ 5 off of my total for my time.
The location was ideal for me to get to and find easily (though on a Friday night, parking was a little more difficult to find). I enjoyed the atmosphere of the shop and felt comfortable there.
My experience was great. Very personable, friendly, and kind. If I am ever back in Flagstaff (which I hope to be), I will definitely come back for my tattoo and piercing needs.

I got a cartilage piercing here (my third), actually 2 hours ago, and it was a great experience. I live in LA and I always try to go to the best places regardless of price. At tat-​fu they were really professional, yet comfortingly casual all at the same time, as some people get really nervous when it comes to these things. My main concern was having the angle of my new piercing match my existing two to the t and Ryan did a really good job of doing so. They got me in and out very quickly and I paid 40% less than what I am used to paying in LA (although I am accustom to buying white gold jewelry).

One of the most approachable, artistic, and quality shops i’ve come across. I’ve been going to Nick since i moved to flagstaff. His attention to detail is some of the best I’ve seen. Must explain why his art pieces are featured around the city. Nicks prices are exceptional. I’ve gone to him with three very detailed and intricate ideas and he manages to create something so awesome you’d think id be spending a fortune. Well as a college student i can successfully get inked on a regular base and still pay rent and other things. I’ve also gotten two piercings here. Tony, the piercer, is always stoked to see some walk ins. I went to get my medusa the other month and we had a nice conversation about tattoo and piercing ideas. Tony’s ability to pierce is amazing. I got my nipple and medusa by him and both managed to hurt minimally, heal fast, and pristine cleanliness even with my lack of cleanliness for the piercing.
Overall i would recommend this shop to any body-​modders in flagstaff. The price is fair, the detail is immaculate, the employees are respectable and easily approachable and tat-​fu has the cleanest most professional appearance of them all.

I’ve only got piercings here, so I apologize for my lack of information on tattoos. However, I’ve had excellent experiences with all the piercings I’ve gotten here.
Ryan is amazing at what he does! He’s very professional, always tells you exactly what he’s doing and why he’s doing it, and makes you feel comfortable.
The only downside is the pricing, it’s pretty expensive here (coming from a college student), but all quality piercings are. You can trust that this place is clean and professional!

I’ve been coming to Tat-​Fu on and off for the past 4 years for piercings, and I’ve had one tattoo done here.
I’ve never had a bad experience. The one tattoo I had done here was just linework and quite simple, but it turned out great. I’ve gotten more piercings than I can count here and have always felt at ease in their clean studio. Aftercare has always been properly explained to me and I’ve never had a problem with infection. Pricing is competitive with the other shops in town.
Lots of reviews mention negative customer service, but this hasn’t been the case when I’ve visited. Even when the shop is packed, someone has always been available to ask what I’m looking for, in a courteous manner.

I had gotten my double nostrils pierced a few years ago in Illinois and let it heal up because they were crooked. The scar tissue that I had was very thick, because I had my nose pierced multiple times, but the guy was able to get both sides done all while having it more even than before. Everyone was professional and nice. Just because the guys aren’t bubbling over with smiles does not make them rude. I can’t believe people recommend other places in Flagstaff for tattoos. I have seen some real gnarly pieces (in the sucky way) come out of other shops. I cannot trust a portfolio that looks like shit, and I haven’t seen any bad work from tatfu. The place is updated and clean along with having talented artists. My friend got a cover up done by Cam and it looks fantastic. I expect to schedule a tattoo appointment soon and will be happy to get someone who can tattoo a damn straight line.

I currently have 2 tattoos, and have gotten multiple piercings here.
My first tattoo was done by Bob some time last year who did an amazing job! He made me feel comfortable and was extremely social with me and the two friends I brought with me.
My second one was done by Nick, who also did an outstanding job. He was extremely talkative and kept my mind of the fact that I was being stabbed a million times over by a needle.
All of the piercings I’ve had done there were quick and virtually painless.
I am planning on getting my next one, and more than likely all of the tattoos and piercings after that. Very professional. Very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I’ve only been in here to look at their plugs on a few occasions, & they do offer a couple nice selections in that realm. However, I wasn’t impressed by customer service I witnessed to a person wanting a tattoo & I would be reluctant to get ink here. I say that because I checked out the portfolios on the counter and wasn’t particularly attracted to any of the artists’ styles– I’m not saying it’s bad– just not my style. Do your research & determine for yourself if their work will compliment the type of tattoo you want. Also, I personally think that a tattooer should sell a client on their personalized style {{or not}} rather than refer them to Google Image. That’s just me. I understand the general public can be difficult to deal with when wanting custom art (as a painter who does commissions I’ve dealt with it myself) but I thought blowing off a customer & telling them to look up exactly what they wanted via Google was unprofessional.
In addition, when my husband went in here on another date to buy some barbells, the piercer he dealt with was completely snobby and pretentious.
****as a follow up… a Tat-​fu piercer felt the need to bulldog this Unilocal review & send me message after message filled with name-​slinging, as well as letting me know that he was the utmost authority on the tattoo industry.
It’s obvious that I know nothing about tattoos because «he couldn’t see any tattoos in my profile picture.» Yeah, I don’t have my face or hands tattooed, so the 100+ hours of inking I do have don’t count, obviously.
Personally (as this is a review based on personal opinion) I feel that the body modification and tattoo industry thrives on the heart of not caring what people think. How about letting your work speak for itself? & if you feel that my review is affecting your business, being a dick isn’t going to make my review any better.
Really, my original review was far from scathing, but after unnecessary name-​calling & general ridiculousness, I felt inclined to answer here rather than continue to answer messages and aggravate the crazy bulldog attacks. Word of advice: maybe don’t subject your business to review accessibility and/​or improve your customer service if you can’t handle a poor review.
Thanks for confirming that you are a class-​act business.

Josh was AMAZING!!! I got my nose pierced and it was my first real piercing (at age 32) cuz I am so phobic if needles. He was so nice and accommodating and made it so easy for me to relax. He was so fast it barely even hurt. I would absolutely go back and I recommend this place to anyone! I brought my friend with me and she ended up getting pierced too! We LOVED our experience!

I recently got my nose pierced at Tat-​Fu and absolutely loved getting it there! The service was amazing! The lady at the front desk was so enthusiastic and sweet. The man (I think it was Nick) who did my piercing was so gentle and supper nice. I hardly felt any pain! Their pricing wasn’t bad either. They explain the healing and cleaning process really well. Everything is so clean also. I liked everything about this shop!

I have eight tattoos, all of which are from artists at Tat-​fu. I love this shop and the guys that work there. It’s very laid back and they all know what they’re doing. I haven’t had problems with any of my tattoos from here. Josh has done five of mine, Cameron has done two, and Nick did one.
The two that I chose to have Cam do are traditional style, because I’ve heard that is his specialty. They look amazing, the color has remained super vibrant, and I get compliments on them all the time. When I got my first tattoo from Josh, I told him I wanted a rose but that I didn’t want it to be like a «biker» rose… more soft and realistic. He did a fantastic job at that, and it’s my most noticed/​complimented tattoo. I’ve had people who say they hate tattoos tell me they love it.
Bottom line: clean shop, good people, great talent, and I wouldn’t wanna go anywhere else for my ink! :)

Holy Shit… Are You Serious?
I can’t believe how horrible this shop is. Horrible customer service… and mean to boot. Why would anyone in Flagstaff not pony up the cash to drive to Gold Rush in Prescott or Immaculate in Phoenix and get tattooed by a real artist rather than this gang bang of amateur scratchers…
When you have three employees playing grab ass in an empty shop on a Saturday night, and three paying clients walk in asking for small work why make up bullshit excuses not to tattoo… it’s not like everyone doesn’t like money.
This shop is a waste of your time and two seconds in the door will tell you that. I would have let it go if they hadn’t been so incredibly rude. I hope they go out of business but judging by the reviews already posted I am positive they are on their way.
Guess I should have Unilocaled it before walking in.
