Such a fantastic shop! Both my husband and I have had work done by Scott & we are both very pleased. My piece was fairly simple script work, along with a small emblem designed by Scott with my husband's initials. I love it! The design was perfect; he worked with me to make sure I loved it. My husband's design was a bit more intricate; he had an idea in his mind, but couldn't get it on paper. Scott worked with him to make sure it was exactly what he wanted, and it turned out better than either of us ever imagined. We'll certainly go back. They're not the best with communication, but you can be sure you'll walk out with a piece you love.
Review Source:I had a fantastic experience here and would not hesitate to come here again. Â
I looked at the artist portfolios online and chose Nicole. Â They actually let you make appointments with the artist which is huge for me. Â My past experiences have been that shops don't let you do that (presumably because so many people don't show up) and as I don't live near anything, "stop by when you're in the area" doesn't really work for me. Â
Tattoo shops can be intimidating. Â This place isn't at all. Â The waiting area has a very arty boudoir feel to it and the staff were very friendly. Â I met with Nicole and we went over some ideas for my piece. Â
Two weeks later, I arrived for my ink. Â I loved the design that Nicole did. Â I asked to make a few small changes to the design and the orientation and she was fantastic about it. Â The color pops and the detail work is incredible. Â And, touch-ups for the first year are free! Â
I loved my experience here and would go back again in a heartbreak. Â And in fact, the wheels are already spinning about my next piece...
THRILLED WITH MY NEW TATTOO!!
I am actually from Massachusetts, but had an upcoming trip to Phoenix planned and decided I wanted to get my next tattoo while out there. I was visiting my best friend and her husband recommended Divinity Tattoo; he had a piece done by Bruce a few years back that came out beautifully and he was very pleased with them. After browsing the website and artist portfolios, I felt that Nicole would be a good fit for me. I emailed her pictures of design ideas and she responded promptly and eagerly. I explained the concept I had in mind and was hoping she could customize something that combined all the aspects that I wanted.
When I arrived at the shop, Nicole showed me the sketch she had done and it was PERFECT. She totally understood my vision and came up with something that was absolutely "me". Better than I even hoped for. And it came out amazing ~ clean, vibrant and completely true to the design concept. Nicole was awesome ~ she made me feel at ease, was really nice, kept asking if I was OK, etc. And it was actually one of the least painful tattoos I've ever had. And reasonably priced as well. Took about two hours; exactly what she had estimated.
The shop itself is gorgeous. Beautiful artwork on the walls, all done by the artists who work there. All sorts of funky & cool décor. The shop was clean, comfortable and relaxing. Everyone that I interacted with was friendly and professional. Even the bathroom was cool!!
Very happy with these guys and would definitely go back. Many thanks to Nicole for really taking the time to come up with something so perfect for me and executing it so well. I'm glad she became a tattoo artist and not a scientist...
I had been considering a tattoo for years but could not really decide on anything other than the fact I wanted a jester. Â Once I got serious and had the time and money, I talked to some friends with ink and got a recommendation. Â Checked out that store and got a few too many negative reviews to be comfortable. Â Some of those reviews mentioned Divinity Tattoo, so I checked them out. Â So glad I did! Â I had some pictures from the web sort of explaining what I wanted. Â Looked at the portfolios in the shop and chose Dub Weir. Â The staff was friendly and he seemd to understand what I wanted immediately. Â Went for my first session last night and was blown away by his design. Â He incorporated everything I wanted, with some astonishing detail and subtlety. Â First session went about 2 hours and the pain was minimal. Â As a tattoo virgin, I was nervous, but now I can't wait to get this finished!
Review Source:I have 3 tattoos, all done by Dub Weir. I'm a retired professional who had to dress and otherwise look the part my entire adult life. I don't need to do that anymore. I met Dub because I met his wife and admired her tattoo which, of course, he did. It's a piece of artwork I would display on my wall. And I show off his work on my body as i would any valuable piece of art in my home.
I went to the shop for a consult and was really quite astonished. My daughter and son-in-law were involved with tattooing and body piercing for many years and I have been in many shops. In spite of this family connection, I would not let anyone in any of those places touch me.
So, I think that I speak as someone with perhaps a bit more experience in the field than most. Divinity is an art studio. And the work they do is artwork. Each artist paints, or draws, or sculpts, as well as tattoos and their work is displayed all over an immaculately clean shop. And sterility is a priority.
The very first tattoo Dub did for me was not the first we planned. I ended up in the ER one day and my living will was tossed and completely ignored. It specifies DNR but they would have kept me alive, even if I was a vegetable...precisely the reason for the DNR order in my living will. So, in the middle of my chest, anyone who attempts CPR will see a 3 by 3 heart with a hand over it and the words DO NOT RESUSCITATE in black capital letters below. I came back from the dead once after an auto accident and I'm not doing that again.
The second tattoo is a parody of my Irish Family Crest ( I hold dual citizenship. ) the third is an as yet unfinished sleeve of all the animals who have graced my life. I want to honor them all. Thus far, my right arm has a beautifully arranged, virtually photographic representation of my horse, my first Service Dog - who died after being hit by a truck - my current Service Dog, a female parakeet, named James, and a rescued lab guinea pig named Bob. If I live long enough, my arm will be full.
I had gotten a couple tattoos at Divinity when they were in Old Town. After they disappeared from that location I thought they were gone forever.....so glad I found them again up on Cactus.
Divinity is more of an art studio. The shop is filled with original paintings and sculptures, and oodles of tattoo awards. You can peruse through portfolios, but you will find no flash here my friend. If you are looking to pick and stick a tattoo this is not the place for you.
In my case I was looking to coverup an arm band (what can I say I got it in the 90's) and I was really impressed with Nathan Z's color work.
He and I discussed the concept I was looking for and the game plan for working out a floral half sleeve piece.
After six sessions it's done, with one session remaining for final touch up. I'm very pleased with it and it covers my original arm band really well.
Great experience with this shop and this tattoo artist, I highly recommend them!
I've always been super fascinated whenever I walk into the shop, the walls are straight lined with beautiful artwork from each tattoo artist in the shop. Their styles range from dark and dreary to super colorful pieces. I don't pretend to be a tattoo connoisseur or anything or the sort, but I enjoy a really beautiful tattoo shop surrounded by really talented artists.
Initially I went into the shop for a regular sized hip-piece, which Bruce was going to be giving me (insert strong recommendation here!). He was super patient and friendly and seemed to understand exactly what I wanted (and believe me, I'm just like every other person who wants a tattoo; I know exactly what I want, but I don't know how to explain it. At all).
Anyway three years later we're finishing up a full sleeve, and I couldn't say anything more glowing about Divinity or it's artists.
Can be a little pricey, but it's quality over quantity baby.
Wow, this place is phenomenal. Â You wouldn't even know you're in a tattoo shop by the looks of the place. Â Impressive portfolios, artwork and artists. Â The walls are lined with gorgeous framed art, most done by the tattoo artists themselves. Â I noticed many of them have also won awards for various competitions. Â Bruce created my body art and was really patient with this first timer. Â He drew up exactly what I wanted....I was in awe. Â We completed the masterpiece in three sessions and honestly it wasn't all that painful. Â Bruce is an accomplished professional and very talented.
I will definitely return when I'm ready for my next piece.
I just realized I wrote my review of Divinity Tattoo and posted it to the Scottsdale location (duh!), so I'm moving it here. Â I plan to return very soon for my next tattoo and am sure my second experience will be as great as the first!

I had been wanting a second tattoo for years. Â I decided this weekend I would finally have it done. Â I asked a few friends for recommendations but didn't want to drive out to the far east valley. Â After reading the first four reviews for Divinity, I checked out their website and the portfolios of the artists at the Phoenix location. Â I was very impressed and called to make an appointment with Ryan Campbell. Â When I arrived at the shop today, I was very impressed with everything I saw. Â The decor was gorgeous, everyone was friendly, and Ryan was very knowledgeable. Â He was very patient while I decided on the size and exact placement of my tattoo. Â After he was finished, I was extremely pleased, and spoke to him briefly about my next tattoo. Â I'm already looking forward to making my next appointment with him.
This place is like walking into an art gallery! Â It is clean and the decor is hip but very welcoming. Even the display for the body jewels was professional and cool. Â The staff! Let me tell you how frustrating it is to walk into a tattoo shop and be greeted by the quintessential punk asshole...hate it. Not to mention the occasional rock-star mentality of some of these people....Not Here!! Â They are soooooo nice and sooooo talented, truly ARTISTS!!! Â They will guide you with your tattoo, sketching and advice on how to " wear" it. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. Â Remember: Â Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good.
