I am giving it 3 stars just on customer service. I came in to get my foot tattoo touched up and add more. Meg did a great job at what I wanted.. But she was just very odd.. Rude.. Distant. And the guy that was working behind the desk was rude. Someone called as me and a couple other people were standing at the desk.. He answered.. the ppl on the phone asked how much is the hourly rate. He told them and then as soon as he hung up... The guys goes.. I hate fu*^%!g bargain shoppers. You can say what you want but it doesn't look good in front of your paying customers.
Review Source:A tattoo is a very personal thing and not a decision to be made lightly as we all know. Â Finally figuring out what I wanted and then finding the artist talented enough to do it are 2 huge tasks. Â I know for a fact that I accomplished both at Love and Hate. Â I had a piece done by an artist at this shop a year ago and was thrilled with the work. I am currently working on finishing my right arm sleeve with Meg, the owner. He professionalism, talent and loveability all speak for themselves. Â The staff is curteous and helpful. Â This shop is not full of elitest tattoo artists who think their crap doesn't stink like most tattoo shops. I've recommended several friends there and will continue to do so.
Review Source:Very happy. Working with Danny Ross and he has done a great job on my tattoo. Two sessions so far and debating about a third. It just depends on if I want more color or not. He did a great job and is extremely good with detail work. I highly recommend Danny and I am sure the other artists are very good. We are also going to spend 3-4 hrs on another tattoo of mine in the future to enhance it. It was done at another shop. While I am happy with the original version know Danny can make it even better.
Review Source:WORST tattoo I've ever had! Met these guys at a tattoo convention in LA. They appeared to know what they were talking about & doing, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The lines weren't straight, the colors were not what I wanted, and somehow the final price was not what we spoke about. Basically, I got the tatt covered up over 3 more sessions with an artist I know & trust, and to say the least, I learned my lesson the hard way. Make sure you know who your dealing w/before you make a perminent decision such as a tattoo. Their name says it all, you'll either love or hate this place. I couldn't HATE it more if I tried...
I'll post the horrific pics, check back
I told myself I was going to wait at least a week to review Love and Hate Tattoo Parlor. Let my new tattoo heal up and show it off a little. Besides, it was just last night after work that I'd gotten my new ink. Alas, it appears my self-discipline is at an all time low, and less than 24 hours after walking out of L&H, here I am on Yelp. Sharing the love. Because, honestly, there's nothing I could think about hating on with this tattoo parlor.
The time line that brought me to this point is rather lengthy. A little over a month ago, I rolled out of work early, caught a movie then decided I wanted to get my third tattoo. After finding some tats online, I decided I would follow through with it. A quick Yelp search directed me to L&H. When I showed what I wanted to have done and where on my body, the guy at the desk quickly grabbed one of the artist's portfolios, flipped through and showed me one of the exact same tattoos I saw online (but not cross referenced with L&H). Instantly, I knew this artist *had* to be the one to do this for me. However, with my work schedule and his availability, June 21 was the soonest I could make an appointment.
In the month that followed, I started explaining to my friends what I envisioned and each of them appeared just as eager as myself to see the end results.
Fast forward to last night, and Eric is referencing color copies of bacon and another tattoo from which I generated my initial concept, while using colored markers to sketch out how the basic tattoo will turn out. Honestly, at this point I would have been happy with just the marker tattoo (although I'm sure Eric would grow tired of me coming back every other day to have it redrawn). After a quick run through to outline where each color would be, Eric then moved on to the actual filling in. Throughout the two hour process, other artists who heard about this custom tattoo checked out the progress. By the time Eric completed his work, I sported one of the most unique and personalized tattoos I've ever seen. Even as it's wrapped in saran wrap to help the colors settle, I keep looking at it, admiring what will soon become my signature ink.
Meanwhile, earlier this morning I sent out photos I took with my phone halfway through the process to a few of my coworkers. All are excited to see this, even the VP in Flagstaff (who I didn't intent to see this, but it's out of the bag now).
Both of my tattoos were done here so I don't have experience with other tattoo parlours, as an FYI.
My first is on my left forearm and was done by Christopher Robin. Anyway, I brought in the design and he was super nice and made sure I was comfortable, as it was my first tattoo. My mother got her first right after and he designed it in 5 minutes and it looks awesome. Very professional, clean, had a light hand, and recommended.
My second tattoo was larger and a little more complicated, on the left side of my lower back. Sadly, I don't remember the guys name but he was also really nice and made sure I was ok in the areas the tattoo really hurt. Also very clean and professional with a light hand.
I would totally recommend this place for anyone in Phoenix looking to get a tattoo. Ask for Jason or Chris if they're available.
I got a tattoo by "The Danny Ross" as he was referred to by all the people at the parlor. Â I had a phoenix feather done on my hip to go along with the peacock feather on the other side. Â This tattoo was way worse than the first one, and at times I wasn't sure I was going to make it, but some how I powered through. Â Although Danny kept joking it was his job to make me cry, then at that point, my tattoo would be complete. Â Luckily, it didn't go that far.
When I first saw it completely finished I was a little turned off but the size and style, but it was just my initial worrying. Â Now I love this tattoo more than my first one. Â I am definitely going back to Danny for my next tattoo and to get him to touch up the peacock feather. Â I love his style! Â And everyone in there is super friendly, coming in to check out what you're getting done and telling you how much they like it.
Side note: Â A motorcycle gang hangs out there, they may seem intimidating, but they were really nice to me!
Walked in without an appointment on a Thursday and with my own design and walked out a couple hours later with a lovely new scroll work around my forearm by Tony (who had some excellent tunes on shuffle btw).
The shop is relaxed. Staff was friendly and unpretentious. They have all the artist portfolio's up front for you to browse through. Â They had a tv in the waiting room and lots of tattoo magazines and the like as well as some tattoo flash, body jewelry, and merchandise to look through.
I felt very comfortable from beginning to end and as a result would recommend the shop and artist to my friends. Â I'll be returning for more ink soon.
I just got a tattoo by Meg at the Body Art Expo in SF. After browsing so many booths I was overwhelmed with what artist to choose. Â I came across her portfolio by accident (was near women's bathroom) and knew I wanted her to do it for me. Â I got a simple script tattoo that probably any decent tattooist there could have done but she did such a FAB job. Â Even one of the LA booths that won awards was complementing the script writing. Â Very happy with it.
Review Source:i have a list of parlors to review but this will be the first.
i will start by saying love and hate is a cozy lil shop. great artists include
christopher robin and jason.
what my issue is that when i got tattooed there
i was tattooed by someone who got fired later and does crappy work.
they knew he was a shitty artist and they didn't tell me.
i found this out from one of them later..
please if you know one of your  artists does shoddy work,
fire them  immediately. it has taken me two other artist and a lot of
money to fix the damage that person did.
But again there are a lot of great artists there now so feel free to go.
i will probably go there again.
Me and my mom had tattoos done by Jason of this tattoo parlor. Â It was done in Idaho at a tattoo expo, not this location. Â Jason did an amazing job designing artwork (a flamingo) from scratch, and the tattoos are flawless. Â He didn't have the greatest attitude, and was sort of rude for a while so we almost left, but we didn't and I am glad because he did an amazing job!
