What the drive in looks like from each town
Our shop sits on East Main between Lindsay Road and Val Vista Drive. The door faces Main and parking is out front, so the last part of every trip below is the same: get onto East Main and come to the door.
From Gilbert
Gilbert Road or Lindsay Road runs straight north out of Gilbert into Mesa and lands you on East Main by the shop. From the Heritage District, Power Ranch or Agritopia it is a quick drive. From Val Vista Lakes or Morrison Ranch, come up Val Vista or Higley to Main and turn west.
From Chandler
People come in from Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch, Sun Groves and Downtown Chandler. Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch are the lake and golf side, a few minutes from the Intel campus off Price Road. Sun Groves and Clemente Ranch are the family blocks. West Chandler is the commuter side out by the I-10.
From Tempe
Tempe is a Mill Avenue town, and the walkable ASU strip is the middle of it. If you would rather not drive, the Valley Metro light rail line ends at Gilbert Road and Main in Mesa's old antique and vintage stretch, a little under a mile west of the shop.
From Scottsdale
Scottsdale already has ink, most of it clustered a few blocks off Scottsdale Road in Old Town. People still make the run east for black and grey realism, and parking here is free and at the door once you arrive.
From Queen Creek
Come north into Mesa and get onto Main. If you are used to the Gateway Freeway, that is State Route 24, which runs from Loop 202 at Hawes Road in Mesa out towards the Apache Junction and Queen Creek line with an interchange at Ellsworth Road along the way.
From Apache Junction
The Apache Trail becomes East Main at Sossaman Road, and from there it is one road west. You pass Val Vista Drive, then Lindsay Road, and our shop is a short block past it. If you would rather not sit at lights, take US 60 instead: the Superstition Freeway runs from Apache Junction through Mesa, and you drop off it and come north to Main.
What is the same wherever you start
Consultations are free seven days a week, and you sit down with the artist who would do the work before anything is booked. Doors open at noon: Sunday noon to 6, Monday through Thursday noon to 8, Friday and Saturday noon to 10. Everyone getting tattooed is 18 or over with valid photo ID. Every style is listed on the Mesa tattoo services page, and larger pieces can be split into payments through Shop Pay financing.

What clients say about Tagz Tattoo in Mesa
4.9★ average from 88 Google reviews
Just had my upper arm done with AG at TAGZ!!! It was an incredible experience. AG is an incredible artist, and was absolutely amazing. I am so happy with my piece. The shop is clean, and well layed out. TAGZ has thought of everything. Amazing experience. I will never go anywhere else for my future work.
Couldn’t say enough good things about this shop. From the environment to the artist, this shop is great. My artist was Eddy and he gave me a tattoo I’ve been waiting to get cause I needed the right person and the right Shop to do it since this piece was very important to me. It came out perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.
This shop is top notch and full of amazing Artists and you will not be disappointed! ! Yesterday was my 3rd Session with Pricilla to finish my three quarter outdoor arm sleeve. This project a year and half ago and all I had was an idea in my mind and she put it to skin!
Best tattoo shop in AZ ! The quality, style and art work is immaculate! I had the pleasure of meeting AG (owner) and his style of work is magnificent. All the artist in shop have their own style so if you looking for talent, go to TAGZ TATTOO. I also noticed AG has a barbershop on the opposite side of the building and the haircuts are very professional and stylish. I would say this tattoo/Barbershop is A1! I highly recommend getting a tattoo from AG or any of the artists in house. Be a part of the family and join AGs movements.

Finding the shop in Mesa, and what we work with
We are at 2735 E Main St, Suite 9, Mesa, AZ 85213, in Maricopa County, on the East Main corridor between Lindsay Road and Val Vista Drive.
- 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. We go 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.org if you are planning the trip in from Tempe or west Mesa.
