Alla Prima Tattoo

I am always skeptical about trying out a new artist when I move. But I will never go anywhere else in Fairbanks for artwork! My tattoo was something in my soul I wanted to see come to life. I’m not much of a color or shaded in tattoo person. I was nervous about how Grey’s line work would turn out. From the design all the way through the finished product was a great experience. The environment was very clean and relaxed. I absolutely love my piece and can’t wait to schedule my next one!

Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations, I am so incredibly pleased! The tattoo I received yesterday was a piece I’d been waiting to find the right person to do for years now, and the artist not only did it perfectly, but really took it to another level with his attention to detail, skill, and patience. The setting was clean and professional, and so many things about the experience felt like a tailored event set up just for me. Tattoos are so very personal and finding someone you can trust to place permanent artwork on you feels really rare. I’m so thankful to have connected to Alla Prima—I’ve already scheduled my next tattoo, I can’t wait to go back!

I been in tattoo shops all over the world, Alla Prima is by far the best one. The atmosphere is relaxing, very clean, friendly and professional. Grey let’s you know up front on the estimated cost and time. His eye for details is off the charts. His tattooing skills are 2nd to none. He far exceeded the vision I had for the piece I wanted done. We will be back and are telling all our friends about the best tattoo shop in Fairbanks Alaska!! Awesome work, can’t wait to be back on the table!!

I had an amazing experience at Alla Prima. I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted, and Grey came up with a beautiful piece for me. The place was clean, and it was relaxing to be there. Grey was awesome to work with. I usually feel anxious going to artists that I don’t know, but didn’t feel that way with him. This was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I highly suggest getting a tattoo here. The work is so clean and vivid. Pictures do not do justice to how amazing this Jackalope came out.

I can’t tell you how much I recommend this place. I love my tattoo, it was a coverup of two old tattoos and you can’t even tell they were there, the artist was fantastic and finished it all in one sitting, we took hourly breaks and he had movies playing for me while I was getting tattooed. Would definitely be back if I wasn’t moving out of state! If you’re looking for a great experience I definitely recommend stopping by!

Alla Prima is the place to go for a tattoo. I’ve wanted my second tattoo for a long time but I didn’t pull the trigger. I’m so glad I decided to and that I went to Alla Prima. Grey’s work speaks for itself. His lines are sick and his designs are beautiful! I highly recommend Alla Prima

I am very happy with my new tattoo. He did an amazing job incorporating a very old piece I had into something new and beautiful. The shop was clean and professional. I will return and recommend to others.

Very welcoming, very clean, and very relaxing environment. Best of all, exceptional work. Especially recommend if you’re looking for work done on colorful pieces.

Fantastic experience! Got my first tattoo done by Grey and was very impressed. The coloring and depth he puts into shading is unreal. I highly recommend!

Super happy with my first tattoo can’t wait to get the other half done, I’ve always worried about walking out and not having what I expected, Grey did above and beyond an excellent job, made me feel comfortable and all was good, super clean shop, so glad I didn’t walk out on my consultation, thanks Grey, we have lots of wasted years to fill this canvas, I guess I was waiting for the perfect artist glad I have followed your work for years and found you and finally decided to do it, my friend would be happy

Very beautiful work. I can't wait to get more.

Go to Alla Prima if you want a beautiful tattoo!! I haven’t been impressed with the artists in Fairbanks and then I came here! The realism aspects are great and I left absolutely loving my tattoo. This is a defintely a shop worth waiting for! Make a visit and you’ll find a peaceful and relaxing studio!

I put a 200.00 deposit down in September . Told him what I wanted . Asked to be able to see what he had drawn up prior to my appointment which was today . He never produce a drawing tell the day of the appointment. It was nothing like I asked for. He would not budge on changing the design at all . If you are going to have this put on your body then it definitely should be what you want . This was going to be a cover up from something that had been done when I was a kid, over 30 years ago. I personally believe he never intended to do anything like I asked and k ew he was going g to pocket my money. It was a horrible experience.

I believe this photo says it all when it comes to saying how AMAZING his work is! The detail is beyond impressive, and the sessions themselves are just full of fun. By far the best tattoo experience I have ever had, and would highly recommend him to anyone who asks. 100% a satisfied customer :)

EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED. Grey has a gift for making your vision into Art. He has tattooed my whole arm, and it looks amazing. He also did a cover up. I will be staying on his appointment list for years to come.

In September of 2020, I made an appointment for two sessions with Alla Prima Tattoo in Fairbanks. I visited the shop in person and made a $200 cash deposit towards my future tattoo, showed Grey my inspiration pictures and described what I was looking to get done, it all seemed pretty normal. He was booked out several months in advance so my first appointment was for January 2021. As the appointment day started approaching I sent a few more inspiration pictures. At 8:30pm the night before my tattoo Grey sent me his rendering of what he planned to tattoo on me the next day at my 1pm appointment. There was no question that he came up with a beautiful design, it was just not what I had asked for and through initiating more questions I found that the hours he was planning to put into this tattoo was more than what I was expecting and more than I wanted for this specific piece. I then asked if it would be possible to simplify the design or wait until my next appointment the following month and I could submit a new concept. He was not willing to work with me to come up with a design I was comfortable with putting on my body and became aggressive and unprofessional. He was demeaning and rude even as I tried to work with him to come up with a solution. He didn’t care what I wanted the design to look like he just wanted to tattoo whatever he felt like doing. I have previously been tattooed by 5 different artists in 3 different states and never once was I treated this way in any other shop. If you can ignore his customer service and be willing to get whatever he comes up with tattooed on your body with little to no questions or any changes allowed then go for it, but I couldn’t. I’m writing this review so that others will know what kind of experience they can expect with Alla Prima Tattoo.

Awesome artist! Worth every penny

Great costumer service

Awesome tattoo artist in Fairbanks. He pays attention to detail and really brings his client's vision to life on skin.

Beautiful, clean studio. Outstanding customer service. The artwork outshines all other pros to this studio. I will not trust anyone else to tattoo me. Cleanest line work I've ever seen.
