Voted Best Tattoo Parlor 2010-2015, 2017 by Tucson Weekly!

Chances are you have at least two friends with tattoos. One is Mr. Hipster with the coolest tattoo you’ve ever seen. The other friend is a quiet business gal who rarely shows off her ink, but when she does, wow. Amazing work. And chances are, because Tucson Weekly has seen this is in action—that the tattoo work was done by Black Rose. Custom work is a specialty, but they also operate as a street-style shop. This is a long-time reader favorite for good reason. Ink virgins should pay them a visit.

    With tattoos accepted and fashionable in today's society, the main concern for tattoo-lovers in Tucson is: What parlor does the best work? Located in the center of downtown Tucson, Black Rose is a spot where fine artistic tattooing is considered a beautiful art form. If you want lovely art imprinted on your body, make sure to go under the needle with the help of one of the talented artists at Black Rose.

    In the 1970's, if you wanted to be bitchin', you bought a van. If you wanted to be wicked, you bought a van and airbrushed a wizard on the side of it. Well, it's 2013 and you can forget the van. Just get the wizard tattooed on you! Look no further than Black Rose Tattooers, the cozy shop on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Broadway that's been there since 1995. The magicians inside would be more than happy to change your flesh into a thorough and beautiful work of art. If you want a body part pierced, they can do that too, but maybe call beforehand if you want that "Magic cross" piercing. Kazam!

    Even the flash art—generic examples of tattoos you can get—on the wall is cool at Black Rose Tattooers. Browse through an artist's portfolio, and the cool goes to a whole new level. Skill is apparent in every design, whether the tattoo is a realistic portrait of a beloved pet, or a custom sleeve that screams with color. Although "scream" is not the best word choice for a tattoo write-up, Black Rose Tattooers know what the heck they're doing. The studio is also bright and clean without being impersonal. The only screaming you're likely to do involves delight over your new artwork.
