AG at work in the Mesa shop
AG owns Tagz Tattoo and still tattoos out of the shop on East Main. His lane is custom black and grey realism, and most of what leaves his chair is sleeve work, back pieces and large-scale portraits.
You can see more of that side of the shop on the realism tattoo artists in Mesa page, or come in and talk it through before you commit to anything.
Common questions
- How do I book with an artist here?
- Call or text (480) 670-1037, or come in. Consultations are free, and we will tell you honestly what your idea takes before anything is booked.
- How does the deposit work?
- The deposit is separate from the price of the tattoo. It is non-refundable and non-transferable, it holds your date on the calendar, and it comes off your final total.
- Do I need the design finalized before I book?
- No. Bring your references to a free consultation. We map the design to your body, talk through placement and flow, and set expectations before you book. Custom work is drawn for you, not pulled off a wall.
- Can I pay for a bigger piece over time?
- Financing is available through Get Tatted Now, Pay Later. Ask when you book and we will walk you through it.
- Where are you, and when are you open?
- We are at 2735 E Main St #9, Mesa, AZ 85213, open Sunday noon to 6, Monday through Thursday noon to 8, and Friday and Saturday noon to 10. Call or text (480) 670-1037.
Finding the shop in Mesa, and what we work with
Tagz Tattoo Shop is at 2735 E Main St, Suite 9, Mesa, AZ 85213, in Maricopa County. The suite sits on the East Main corridor a short block west of Lindsay Road, with Val Vista Drive about a mile further east. The door faces Main and parking is out front.
If you are not driving, the Valley Metro light rail runs the length of Main Street and ends at the Gilbert Road station, roughly nine tenths of a mile west of the door, so the last stretch is a short ride or walk east along Main.
- Aftercare we actually stock. Mad Rabbit foam wash, glide, soothing gel and patches are sold at the front counter, so you can walk out with the same aftercare your artist tells you to use.
- Shop Pay. The Get Tatted Now, Pay Later plans run on Shop Pay at checkout, which is why the payment split happens on the product page rather than through a separate lender in the shop.
- Arizona age law. A.R.S. §13-3721 is the statute that governs tattooing anyone under eighteen in this state. Tagz goes further than the statute does: eighteen and over with a valid photo ID, no exceptions.
- Valley Metro. Route and station times for the Main Street line are on the Valley Metro maps and schedules page at valleymetro.orgif you are planning the trip in from Tempe or west Mesa.
