Kevin did a great job, would highly recommend!
Can't say enough. As a blank canvas I walked into the shop and spoke with Kevin. He was able to fit me in within a month and had my lower forearm to just above my elbow done in one (my first) sitting. It's a memorial to my late wife. We emailed back and forth a few times and as I sat down at 1030 am Kevin got started. By 845pm I felt like we had known each other for years. The Dude is a really down to Earth guy that knows his trade. Having never had a tattoo before, I did my research and asked many of my friends and others I ran into with ink questions upon questions....when I first spoke with Kevin he gave me the answers I wanted; or needed, to hear. Having the ink for less than a week at this point I have been asked numerous times by people with ink where I had it done, and I reply with pride "Sea of Ink". I will be back to finish the shoulder, and more! Also, please note; this is not my first review of a business.....
It makes perfect sense that the reviews for this place are great. The atmosphere is clean, safe, and comfortable, especially for other artists. Not only that, but everyone is welcome in at any given time throughout the day. If you’re not into tattoos, they have some cool small things from time to time that you can pick up (like skeletal moth earrings, or sometimes art for sale). I believe that having a decent relationship with your tattoo artist is important, as well. Kevin is a great person that radiates pure joy and genuine support. It feels like a judge-free zone every time I go in. Talking with him throughout sessions also inspires me to continue to be a better person. I don’t think I would be comfortable with any other artist. As for the tattoos, TOTALLY worth the wait. I know that his bookings are almost always full, but I don’t think I would go anywhere else to get in sooner. If you want something a specific way that Kev has the capability of doing, he will do it no questions asked. I recommended being flexible because if you combine your ideas with his and give him some wiggle room for his ideas, you will NOT regret anything. The shading and line work is jaw-dropping. He has an extremely steady hand…even when I was squirming around in pain during the saturation phase. My tattoo with him was time consuming, but surprisingly enough we got it done in two full sessions. SO impressive, I cannot believe I have this beautiful piece of art on my leg for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Kevin, and Sarah, for being great business owners, artists, and people! If I decide to go for another tattoo, I won’t be going anywhere else.

Kevin is the best artist and so nice
Best tattoo artist in town!
I’m giving 2 stars because first impressions were good and the place seemed really clean. Beyond that it became BS. Walked in without an appointment so we weren’t expecting to get anything done. Explained it was my sons 18th Bday and hoped to get something done. They said they could get him in around 5:30 or 6. Said we had family dinner so we would look for somewhere else but would come back if we weren’t happy with other choices. Called less than 30 mins later explaining we would move family dinner if they could get us in at 6. Kevin said yea definitely and took my info down. Said he would call as it got closer to 6 to give a heads up. We started to get hungry so we wanted to see if we had time to eat before so i called to check in on time and he said oh sorry there’s not going to be time now and the person they scheduled still had 2 hours of work. I’m sorry but if you know that people are canceling plans just to make an appointment you said you would make happen you better uphold to it. As a business owner I’m held to the same thing. And if i have to work late or go the extra mile to keep clients/potential clients happy than I do.
I have gotten multiple tattoos from Kevin at Sea of Ink Tattoos. Every time I have been extremely satisfied with the service, professionalism, attentiveness and overall quality of the tattoo. So much so, that My Wife and Mother have gotten Tattoos there as well. I will continue to go to Kevin at Sea of Ink for any Tattoo that I want in the future and recommend him and his shop to all who have any Tattoo needs as well.
Words can't even describe how happy we are with Kevin Bradley's ability to create a piece of art from just a simple idea. My wife is over the moon with her new Captain Spaulding Portrait. Thank you Sea of Ink tattoo!
Kevin is the the best tattoo artist there is, hands down!
A few years ago I got some work done by Kevin, the owner, and was blown away by his professionalism and how friendly he was. I’d been to a lot of different shops and the vibe at Sea of Ink blew them all away. He communicated super well and was actually able to squeeze in everything that I wanted (even some tiny lettering that I thought for sure wouldn’t be able to get included). So, when my wife and I were looking to get some new tattoos just recently, Sea of Ink was the only place we wanted to go. This time we worked with Madison, who is such a pleasure to work with and ridiculously talented on top of it. Going to see her feels like going to hang out with a good friend (who can also bang out an incredibly detailed and awesome tattoo in record time). We can’t seem to leave without scheduling another appointment with her because she’s so great! If you’re looking for a new tattoo studio, save yourself some time and just go to Sea of Ink. They’re the best place out there and my wife and I won’t be going anywhere else. 💜💚
I’ve gotten a couple pieces now from this shop, specifically with Madison. Shes ridiculously good at what she does, and everyone there is very friendly. I always feel welcome and comfortable in this shop. From what I’ve seen, ALL the artists here are incredible. My official go-to tattoo shop. Highly recommend. 👏👏👏
Sea of Ink is fantastic! Everyone is friendly and professional. I love working with Madison and will continue to come back to her for as long as I'm in AZ!
Awesome!! All three artists are amazing! Great open, friendly atmosphere! They make you feel really welcome! If you're getting your first tattoo, I highly suggest them! Kevin is finishing my 5th tat from them and Madison will be doing my 6th and the end of the year (Matt did my first 4 tats!). Very clean lines and great detail. I won't go anywhere else!
Kevin is amazing! His attention to detail is amazing and his artistic ability to take an idea and turn into a masterpiece makes him the best!
Kevin Bradley is absolutely fantastic at his craft. I get so many compliments on the 2 tattoos that he's done for me so far.
Kevin was really great have been going to him for the past year working on my realistic sleeve, he understands ABC guides you through the whole time, I'm very happy with my tattoos and always get compliments of how realistic and detailed they are, I recommend him!
Kevin was amazing. I was referred to his shop by a friend of mine and let me say, he did not disappoint with his work. Already scheduled for another session. Needless to say, I found my new forever shop.
Kevin does amazing work! I was so excited to finally get work done by him! I am beyond happy with my tattoo! Definitely recommend them to everyone!! Thank you guys!
Friendly professional and talented. If you want a work of art on your body this is the place for you
This is. by far, the best tattoo shop in Arizona. The crew here is professional, the shop is super clean, and the work of the artists is unmatched. I have been to Matt for 4 tattoos now, and I will continue to use this shop as my sole tattoo team. Great work, solid shop and the prices are EXACTLY what you should be paying for high quality work! Thanks Sea of Ink, see ya''ll in a few months for my next one!
