The top-rated tattoo shop in Tempe, AZ
Sentient Tattoo Collective is a tattoo studio and fine art gallery in Tempe, AZ. Home to award-winning tattoo artists with a combined experience of over 50 years, this cooperative space is a creative environment for artists of all types. If you are looking to get tattooed, we suggest that you call ahead for availability. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fiftieth tattoo, our artists will help bring your tattoo ideas to life.
One of the most important elements of Sentient Tattoo Collective is the community. The artists have partnered up with Free Arts For Abused Children to offer art classes and tutorials for kids who may not have a creative outlet at home. Art has transformed and inspired the lives of the Sentient Tattoo Collective artists, and our hope is that sharing our creative expression through mentorship and volunteerism will have a positive impact on the Tempe community.
Sentient Tattoo Collective is committed to your safety. All artists are professional tattooers that receive annual bloodborne pathogen training and CPR certifications. Our studio is clean and sanitary. Artists use medical-grade, packaged, and sterilized versions of each tool used on clients. Needles are never re-used. Your artist will use disposable gloves and will ensure the area of your skin being tattooed is clean and disinfected. The customer comes first at Sentient Tattoo Collective so you can be sure that your artist will make sure you feel safe and comfortable for your tattoo experience.
We are proud to offer a vegan tattoo experience for anyone who is interested. All of our tattoo artists use vegan-friendly ink and can use vegan-friendly soap upon request. Please do not hesitate to ask!

I got a tattoo on my sternum by Ange back in March, my tattoo and my experience was top tier. Ange was very communicative with me and really listened to what I wanted for my tattoo. She was friendly and patient with me and made sure I was comfortable while she was tattooing. She gave clear healing instructions and it has healed great! I could not have asked for a better artist, tattoo or studio to go to. Will definitely becoming back in the future and have already recommended this place and Ange to several of my friends.

I could not be happier with the entire experience. The shop is beautiful, clean, relaxed vibe with amazing art. Everyone was super nice and professional. Ange was incredible - talented, personable, good at communicating, and totally understood my abstract concept. If you're going to spend hours in one spot and so close to one person, I think it's important you genuinely like them and feel comfortable with them - and confident in their work and judgment. That's Ange - she is absolutely amazing. So talented, and just a good person. My piece turned out even better than I could have imagined, and I will absolutely be back!!!
