Came in for a Medusa as a walk-in. Even though the shop was busy I was promptly greeted, the price was great, the piercer was professional and efficient, and I was out within about a half hour. Will definitely be back.

Had a portrait done by James Peterson. My daughter had a tatoo from him before and recommended him. The portrait tatoo looks great and I could not be happier. I highly recommend this artist.

I had a previous nose piercing from someone else, and it closed up. So I needed to find skeins here in Tucson to re-pierce my nose. I contacted Grape Ape Tattoos and I was so glad I did. Tyler was my artist and he was amazing. He pierced my nose so easily and quickly there wasn't any pain. I recommend Grape Ape Tattoos and Tyler.

I was looking for places to get my septum pierced at for my birthday, and I wanted to give Grape Ape a try! When I got there, the staff were super friendly and the environment was comfortable and fun. I waited for less than 10 minutes, keeping in mind that I was a walk-in! The piercing process was quick and very sterile. Tyler made sure my piercing was perfect and I was comfortable. The prices were a lot better than other places I looked at as well. Definitely would come back for any other piercing! :)

Had a tattoo done by Anthony, I walked in not knowing what I wanted, and came out with a half sleeve full of things that I like. The environment is really relaxed and itβs like a whole family in the shop. Every artist inside is very professional, clean, and amazing with their artwork. The first time I went in I had gotten my back tattooed by Emily, the lettering is so crisp and everything healed nicely.

Great people and artists. Jimmy is cool as hell and has fantastic horror art. One of my favorite shops in Tucson. I'll update with healed photos.
