Regreat ever getting a tattoo here!! My sister and niece and I wanted to get a tattoo in remembrance of my deceased sister and we were very disappointed. We had Emily not sure if she was new but she definitely seemed like she was. This is something I wish I had known beforehand because I definitely would not have had her do our tattoos. This was a very disappointing experience. What was supposed to be a special memorial for us turned out to be a disaster that will never end as we will be reminded of it every time we have to look at these tattoos that are permanently on our body.

I’ve known Justin Oriani that works here for many years and I’ve continued going to him for many reasons but this shop has been my favorite place. Everyone that works at The Grape Ape has always been very nice and professional. The shop is always kept clean and organized and they have beautiful art on the walls that the artists there have done. I always have fun going in and getting another piece done. Definitely recommend this shop and any of the people that work here!

Loved it! Sammy worked me into his schedule! He was extremely fast, but the work is AMAZING!!! This is the first tattoo I’ve really loved from the second I saw it! Will definitely be driving down to get another one soon!!!

This is been my best experience getting tattooed. The shop is clean the artists are really friendly and the prices are good. I've been in shops before where the tattooers have a lot more attitude than Talent. Grape Ape has two real artists who love what they do oh, definitely going to get my next piece there.

I can thank Justin O. from Grape Ape Tattoo shop for the best tattoo I have! He has amazing designs and is very fast and efficient. He finished the outline and shading in under 20 minutes and the colors are still vibrant to this day. I will always recommend this shop to everyone I know.

My friend from Tucson recommended Jimmy from Grape Ape and I was really happy with his work! The shop was clean and he was very in depth with his answers to all my questions about tattooing. I was quoted for 3 hours but it only took about 2.5, went by very fast and looked amazing. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Learn the difference between a tattoo and a piece of art. Grape Ape has two of the best artists in the area. The shop is simple and clean but the work is the best in town. Jimmy is a true artist and can take your concept to the next level. I live three hours away but go to Grape Ape because I only trust Jimmy with the ink that's going to be on my body for life. The rates are extremely reasonable for the quality you get. There are lots of shops in Tucson but if you want the best go see Jimmy and his crew. They are the best in town, you'll be happy you did.
