Inkenstein Tattoo Company

Chris did my tattoo. He is an amazing tattoo artist. He’s been tattooing for about 20 years. While tattooing he makes you feel very comfortable. And he has a gentle had which is a plus! He listens to all of your ideas and incorporates little details you may have for your tattoo.
The shop is also super clean & cute. The people here are really nice and welcoming too. I’ve had an overall great experience. I will definitely be coming here for all of my tattoos! :)

Jason Ballard is the real deal. His years of experience shows in his work. He is real easy to talk and an all around likable guy. He does his high quality work very quickly as well.
The shop is an awesome little setup. The Frankenstein/​Tiki theme is cool and creative so here’s always something to look at. Everything is clean and organized. An all around professional shop.

Had a great experience with Jason here… Wasn’t sure how I wanted to transform the tattoos I wasn’t happy with. Jason was patient and helpful with any questions and ideas I had. The shop has a great vibe and you can tell they are veteran artists who know what they are doing. I’ve been to many shops here in Arizona and have been unhappy with most of them, maybe I’m a little picky but I want the best for what’s permanently going on my body. I will be going there for all my tattoo needs in the future and highly recommend this shop!

I have found my tattoo place here in AZ!!! Jason was awesome and helped me from my first phone call to the time I walked out the door. The service was above and beyond any other experience I’ve had at tattoo shops. I plan on returning AND recommending any friends to this company. Not only did he do amazing work-​the price was unbeatable! I can’t say enough good about this place. Thank you Jason!!!

Jason is truly amazing. He has been working on a piece on my upper arm for a couple months and I’m beyond happy with how it turned out. I can’t wait to start the lower half. If you are looking for high quality work and in great environment than look no further.

Thx you Jason Ballard! Your shop is very clean and just a comfortable atmosphere! Love my new hiking tattoo!

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from an artist. Giving me something to always remind me of my brother & making my vision come to life. Jason, you have honestly made this the most wonderful birthday that I can cherish forever. Thank you!

A few years ago I had a friend tattoo my hubby’s name on my finger. It was free and yes, I got what I payed for. I went to Jesse and he was able to cover it up with a beautiful diamond and rewrote my hubby’s name above it. It looks SOOO much better!!! And now I have a fat ass rock on my ring finger!

Jesse did a great job on my tattoo and I’m very happy with the results. I would definitely go back to him for my next one!

Jesse is AWESOME!!! Friendly, enthusiastic, and professional. Willing to do what you want the way you want and not copy your ideas. Definitely coming back for myself and other tattoos. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something amazing AND affordable.

These guys rock. I had a tattoo that was, well, lame… I went to Jesse with a few ideas and he made it even better than what I expected! I love my tattoo and am planning on going back to Jesse for more. The shop is super clean and really cool– love the vintage horror movie posters. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience!

Jason is one of the best artist in Arizona. He’s the only one allowed to talk to my body! He’s very flexible and his work is amazing. I said no my friends to him and they never come out disappointed. It is such a great experience and you get a really personable tattoo session. He tells you how it is and doesn’t give you any fluff. Unlike any tattoo artist, he makes the tattoo fit to exactly what you want and gives you more than you ever expected. Even if it’s your first talk to or you can barely find a spot on your body for another, getting a piece by Jason Ballard is probably the best decision you could ever make. Go make an appointment! He fills up appointments pretty fast because he’s amazing!

Jason Ballard is a true professional artist. He is humble and will treat you with respect.
When I was shopping around most of the places I went to treated me like they were too good and threw around their expensive prices before I could even tell them what I wanted.
I was very pleased with the results! Thank you Jason!

These guys are the cream of the crop! I got my tattoo here and I’ve referred several people here including two of my grown children who both have great tattoos!

I found Inkenstein Tattoo after checking out a bunch of shops here on Unilocal,and was so impressed with the quality of work. I’m definitely a perfectionist, so I won’t go to just anybody, especially for something as permanent as ink. Well, after my amazing experience with Jason Ballard at Inkenstein, I won’t be going to anybody else ever again!
The shop is extremely clean and just has a very chill vibe that makes you feel welcome. Jason is awesome and made several adjustments to the stencil to make sure it was just the way I wanted. He works very quickly and most importantly accurately. This was only my second tattoo, and the first really large piece I’ve had done so I was a little worried about how I would handle the pain. Jason kept the conversation going and played great music that kept my mind off it completely — the time really flew by! Now I have an amazing back tattoo and am already planning several additions to fill the piece out. Of course, I’ll be going to Jason for all my future ink!
I cannot recommend Jason’s work highly enough. He’s a true professional who will make sure you are completely satisfied!

As we speak I am at the shop. I just got my third tattoo (first here) and my best friend is getting her fifth (also first here). We called earlier in the week and spoke to Jesse and make appointments for today. We came in yesterday with pictures and questions and he was so great in answering not only our question, but also offering his artistic input on what we were looking for.
Today has gone AMAZINGLY!!! Jesse and Jason are really committed to excellence and also a joy to be around. My friend and I are a bit of a personality handful but we all had a great time! I recommend them highly if you are looking for quality, personality, and just overall a passion for their art. I can say I will definitely be back!

I came to Inkenstein for my my first tattoo and it was a great experience. The week before I got my tattoo, I went to talk to Jesse about how I’ve been wanting a mandala tattoo as my first one. I showed him pictures and told him what little details I liked. That following Tuesday, I went back to the shop and Jesse showed me the design that he did and I loved it. The whole tattooing experience was just great Jesse is a really cool, nice guy and he did a fantastic job on my tattoo. I can’t stop looking at it. Haha. I’m going to be going back to him for my second tattoo and many more after that.

My brother has been going to Jason at Inkenstein for a long time. He is super OCD about perfection and has both arms and his back covered in tattoos. After finding this shop he has never gone anywhere else for a tattoo. His wife also only goes to Jason and my brother has been trying to get me to go check it out for a while now.
Finally my best friend was looking to get a tattoo covered up that had a pretty thick black outline. She had been to 4 or 5 shops to get opinions and prices. Most of the artists she talked to told her it couldnt be covered up, or quoted 500 – 600 dollar prices saying that she would have to go double the size to have any real coverage. That’s when I thought of Jason. He really talked to her, traced her tattoo and respected her size restrictions. He was very honest about cover ups and what he would need to do to give the best coverage. He also charged by the hour, 100 dollars an hour, and quoted about 2 to 3 hours of work.
My friend, after months of looking finally decided to go with Jason, and even though he was having back surgery he got her in as quickly as he could. He worked fast and in just 2 hours my friend had an amazing tattoo cover up of a beautiful rose with hanging pearls! I couldn’t believe the line work and how great it healed. There was almost no scabbing and the color didn’t fade at all! After a month my friend went in to have Jason check everything out, and he did a little more shading to cover even better, free of charge. Now unless you knew that ugly skull tattoo was even there, you wouldn’t be able to tell. My friend is beyond happy and has vowed to go no where else from now on!
With 3 people in my life die hard clients, and after meeting Jason and seeing his work first hand, he also has a client in me. I have 5 tattoos, none of which are done well. I want tattoos that I love and I know Jason can give me that. If only I listened to my brother earlier!

Jason has done it again! Another fabulous original tattoo. It’s amazing how he can put the crazy ideas I have in my head down on paper and turn them into amazing art! His light touch and professional speed are like no others in the business! He was able to do in one sitting what most artist would have needed two or three for. Thank you Jason Ballard for being awesome!

Jason Ballard is amazing! I sent my friend Anita to him for a very special, tribute tattoo. She had just tragically lost her husband, and wanted to honor him. Jason designed the perfect artwork for her with vibrant colors and perfect lines. Her husband’s ashes were added to the ink. Jason made my friend feel at ease, and was very respectful with the process. Thank you Jason for taking such good care of her!!! We’ll definitely be back.
