The idea behind SPC is an amazing one! The concept is new, noble, and perfect!The staff is friendly, helpful, and amazing!I think that any idea that targets a large population has to take in consideration the demographics, and they have done that, they are geared towards a young crowd that is eager to do something new, exciting and is not afraid to jump in.However, you dont have to be young to take part. Anyone can feel at home and enjoy their experience there!Our tattoo artist (Abraham) was simply amazing and a real joy to work with. Very accommodating, and pleasant. Patient and friendly so we enjoyed our experience and I know that I will be coming back for more.
I go to big russ for all of my piercings now. He is amazing and super friendly and will answer any and all questions you have. From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is inviting and all the staff are very nice.
Best place to go to get work done, Bryce was amazing well talented tattoo artist that takes pride into their art, understood what I was looking for along with taking the time to set add extra on, going to be going back for more.
Great shop and overall great experience when visiting. The tattoo artist kept conversation with both my roommate and I while my roommate was getting work done. I like the style of the shop too. Definitely felt welcoming and wasnt overly done with a bunch of grunge type stuff like your typical tattoo shop. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy those too, but this one was definitely beyond professional. The artist also did a good job on my roommates flash tattoos.
Hey! so it was my first time coming here and i didn’t think it’d be bad because it’s a pretty prominent piercing/tattoo parlor. i got my medusa done here and the lady who pierced me put in a barbell, swelling wouldn’t go down and my inner lip was embedded around the ball on the inside. had to get it changed at another place and they couldn’t believe they pierced me with a barbell. also was starting to get pus in it. didn’t give me any instructions other than alcohol free mouth wash and no spicy food. it hurt immensely and i didn’t even notice until i got it replaced.i understand mistakes happen and people are learning but if they’re learning or apprentices i want to know. i’d rather someone tell me they can’t do it or don’t feel comfortable doing something.if you wanna get pierced here don’t let the cheap prices fool you and reconsider for a better experience. it’ll save you pain.
Excellent work for a great cause. Came out way better then I could have hoped, everyone was very professional, kind, and it’s a very no-pressure safe environment. I’ll definitely be back for more. Thanks guys
Great place. Got my daughters ear pierced by Big Russ. Hes awesome and was great with her. Very professional.
Flash sheets available all the time to help tattoo apprentices gain better skills. Different artists have different stations... not exactly sure how they are determined. My first visit was with Ari, and I sat in a chair (old restaurant style) and had to scoot my butt to the edge and kind of rest my neck on the lip of the back of the chair.... almost flashdance style... not exactly, but maybe you get the idea. Ari was great.My second session I had chosen four flash and was out in less than an hour. Love that funds go back to the community.
Spark project is an amazing place to get you your tattoo art done. Ive gotten tattoos from them as well as having them microblade my eyebrows and they did an amazing job. If you are thinking of getting ink soon definitely consider spark project, your getting great art work and supporting an amazing cause at the same time.
I went in with an idea in mind of what I wanted, and some how Bryce figured it out from my jumbled ideas coming out what I wanted and made it even better than I thought it could be. Even did a stellar job of fixing a previous tattoo and covering up the bad part. Would highly recommend shop and artist!!
Johnny and his crew are some of the nicest, most talented and professional people that I have ever done business with.The new studio is amazing.
Was an awesome experience with Big Russ. Will be going back soon. This place is clean, well run and professional.
Absolutely amazing service and people!! Definitely going back!
Extremely down to earth staff and also extremely professional. Wouldnt go anywhere else!
I am so excited I found this place! Me and my boyfriend went to go get tattoos a few days ago and It was my first tattoo ever but we had Ari and she was amazing and made me feel really comfortable we will definitely be back.
Employees are pretty chill. Kris, tattoo artist, does a very good job of making sure the experience is comfortable and enjoyable.
Best place you can get your piercing done!! If youre getting your first piercing or your piercing redone, I would recommend this place for sure Aislynne Black was the person who pierced my mom and Is earlobes, she was extremely professional, very informative for after care and straightforward with the piercing process. Will come back for sure when I get the tops of my ears done! 10/10 for service, professionalism, and quality
Literally couldnt be more happy with my tattoo. I had gotten a rose on my arm and it turned out amazing. The healing is going super well. The experience was great, I felt comfortable throughout the process, I was asked throughout the tattoo if I was doing okay, if I needed to take a break for water or anything. I mean the service was great. They were running behind when I got there but once I got in the chair they didnt rush to make up for the time, took their time for good quality tattoo. Oh and such a light hand too, I literally felt no pain, I almost fell asleep thats how light the pressure was. I even had to look a couple times to make sure that there was actually ink sticking. LolThe best part of all this experience is that all proceeds (money after bills and expenses) goes towards funding programs such as art therapy for children with disabilities, homeless drives, toys for children in foster systems and group counseling sessions. So not only did I get an awesome tattoo but the proceeds go towards something amazing.I ran a couple errands afterwards, and Ive gotten so many compliments on my tattoo within the past 24hours. Overall the experience was great and I highly recommend!
Brice is awesome, very nice and personable! Did a perfect tat, will definitely recommend to family & friends
Jennifer was very friendly and did such a great job on all of the tattoos we got done as a group. Great place, great people for a great cause.
I love this place. bryce has done my 2 most recent tattoos. they turned out great!
THE BEST TATTOO SHOP IN TUCSON. Spark is a non-profit and they do more than tattoos and piercings! Art therapy for kids, donation drives for the homeless and all kinds of other great causes. Their tattoo work is incredible, but the tattoos really just fun all of the amazing work they do for our community!Why go anywhere else! Great flash sales, good prices, AND youre contributing to something bigger than yourself.
My daughter loved Venuss work!!
Nice people, quick and easy flash cards for easy tattoo selection, great artists.
Staff is friendly and good at their job.
Good artwork, flexible with appointment times and works with many charities.
Got a piercing. Prices were lower than anywhere else, did an awesome job!
My Aunt and I got several flash tattoos recently. Our artist (Nate) was incredibly kind and personable, and did an excellent job!
I love the simple design of my first tattoo and my tattoo artist was excellent! He was very patient as I asked the design to be moved over and over again and he was so polite and fun to talk to while it was being done. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I definitely back that recommendation.
I had high hopes for this place but was kinda disappointed. Got a couple flash tattoos, the designs were super cute but the execution was only okay. A fair bit of ink along one line fell out of one of them, but because of the flash price no touch ups are allowed unless you are willing to pay the full price of the tattoo. Staff was also pretty akward and not very experienced.
Good quality tattoos for a good cause! Ive gotten tattoos from their monthly flash sales, and plan on getting some larger custom pieces in the near future. Its a friendly place with a lot going on, and the work they do for autistic kids and their families is wonderful!
Love this tattoo shop! I love the work they do to support families who have members that are on the autism spectrum. They are all around a great shop and great people
Always get awesome work from hear worth every penny
Came to do a couple of tattoos and had called to make an appointment for me and my sister. The booking was accidentally put down for an hour after store had closed. Despite the mistake the guy had stayed late to fix it and get us our tattoos. He was really polite and reassuring. It was my sisters first tattoo and he really made it special. He ended up staying almost 3 hours after closing to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Overall a really great experience.
Such a wonderful business and the employees are all very nice! Its a non profit organization that does so much for its community! Johnny and his team are amazing people!
Came by this week and had a bit of an addition added to my tattoo. Friendly artists who are doing a great service, between giving people the art they desire to express themselves and providing to the community with their 501(c) status.I have friends who are also tattoo artists and I have shared this location. My friends are so impressed they are willing to make recommendations to some of their own clients to come here and spread the love.Spark Project, which helps children on the autism spectrum as well as other disabilities, is a wonderful cause.I highly suggest if you are looking for some new artwork, you do yourself and the community a favor and at least come by and check them out. What is there to lose by simply walking in and seeing some of the previous work they have done?You may in the long run decide to go back to your tried and true artist, on the other hand, you might find that John Vasquez and his crew can satisfy your desire for art and help some people at the same time.It’s your time, and your body, so take a chance that your spirit could be lifted knowing your new artwork also assisted someone in need.~Peace.
This has got to be the best place Ive ever visited. The employees are super friendly, the venue is always clean all of the proceeds go to autism awareness foundations they offer snacks clothing stickers pins. Its an incredible shop and they have a very well kept and professional shop. I highly recommend going here for all your tattoo or piercing needs.
Aaron did a great job! Nice clean lines on all 4 tattoos! Russ did a great job on my hoop nose piercing. Great jobs for a great cause!
Literally the best environment. Their new section that just opened this weekend is clean and really well laid out. The staff is incredible and the owner Johnny is a great person who is super involved in the special needs community. Plus they have live music some days! Absolutely the best shop Ive ever been to, without a doubt.
Since I found out that they give back to Autism Speaks, I wanted to go here and get some flash tats. I went Saturday night and they were so cool, kind, and professional. My tats were so easy and are almost healed...no pain or anything. I will definitely be back and recommend others as well! Thank you! ️Edit: I can’t seem to figure out how to reply to the organization’s reply. LolThank you for clarifying that you do not donate to Autism Speaks. That is an important clarification. However, the fact that you are a non-profit and give back at all is why I’d like to support you all. ️
Quick with great services. We went in for the $20 tattoos and we are very satisfied. We saw Nate and he was professional, clean and personable. Loved his vibe and all of his art.
I love this place. Ive gone here for a tattoo, a piercing, and jewelry and I will be back for more of each! The staff is so friendly and its a very chill and supportive place. The way they are involved in the community and support local families is super awesome, too. Cannot recommend them enough!
Love this place. I have gotten numerous tattoos from their monthly flash art and most recently got my nose pierced. All of them are very knowledgeable about their craft and will answer any questions you have about after care. Big russ and Brice are amazing! Very laid back but in a professional manner.
Bryce (Apprentice) was fantastic, especially with my sisters first tattoo!!(: Johnny (Owner) was great, answered all of our questions!!(: Super blessed we found this place, only known tattoo shop that is a non-profit organization. This shop gives all profits to many organizations that help the community. Go visit!!(:
Yk i walked in wanting to learn about getting a tattoo and wanting to set up an appointment w someone, the people there seemed totally uninterested in my buisness and were rude so i took my money elsewhere
Got a 20$ flash tattoo, very nice quality.
I love this place. My daughter and I went there today for her 20th birthday. Tattoo time. Friendly people great atmosphere. Johnny did our tattoos. Hes an amazing artist. With a smooth hand. Not heavy handed at all. I will definitely be going back here. We got 6 tattoos 3 for her 3 for me. 100.00 total. They have awesome sales and besides the obvious of genuinely caring people. This shop is unlike any other. Its non-profit. It supports autism. If your needing a tattoo. And you want to go to a really cool and amazing place I highly recommend Spark Project Collective.
Abraham does a really wonderful job.
Amazing staff and immediate help
Clean environment, excellent staff, awesome ink!
Abe was great love my yang tattoo.
Always friendly great prices for amazing work couldnt be happier with each visit always goes great and always a great result with the work before and after healed would definitely recommend ..
Aaron did my tattoo. It was a walk in and he did a very nice job. It was my first tattoo, the lines are neat and the black was completely filled in.
Very rude front desk women:(
Ive sent every single person whos asked me for a piercing recommendation to SPC. Big Russ is super sweet, super fast, and very professional. The location is charming, clean, and expanding! They even answer their phone!!!! Stop sending your friends to Straight to the Point and send them here.
Excellent collection of tattoos. All proceeds go to charity. Tell them I sent you :)
Its non-profit store
I cant say enough good things about this place. Johnny does awesome work. Nate is great too. I havent got anything done by the other guy yet. They do super awesome work. Wonderful staff. They always smile when I walk in and they treat you like family. Great atmosphere. Great tattoos. Very helpful.
Nice staff, I got my first ear piercing here and the people were super great, Russ did my piercing and he was super experienced and you could tell that he knew exactly what he was doing. I would reccomend this place for anyone getting piercings, let alone the fact that some of their proceeds to go kids with disabilities, mental health disorders, as well as other amazing causes.
I just got my septum pierced by Russ and I would HIGHLY recommend him. The process was very fast and didnt hurt me at all. I informed him ahead of time that I was prone to fainting and he was so cool and sweet about it. (Even if you are not a fainter, eat beforehand!) I did have to bring my 3 year old because my sitter bailed but they were all so kind to her, it was great!
Bryce is amazing as always and this place never fails to make me feel comfortable. Im never getting a tattoo anywhere else again.
Nate is seriously the best!!
Clean shop with a bright friendly atmosphere. Bryce does amazing work
Very cool, clean shop with super friendly folks! Johnny was very kind, accommodating, and not at all heavy handed! I was very comfortable as a new client and with my tattoo experience. He checked on me several times to make sure I was doing okay with the pain and is super friendly and easy to talk to.I love that this shop isnt super intimidating, loud, and generally overwhelming like other shops Ive been to in town. Its an easygoing, inviting vibe with super cool people. My tattoo turned out great and I would love to come back for more work!They are also really great about communicating with you and scheduling. I could not be happier with my experience from beginning to end!
Nate is awesome! Only guy I will go to now! I went to other people where I spent way more money than I should of for not as good work! If I could rate this more stars I would!
Amazing place. Great concept. Community focused. Needs to be more spots like this
I absolutely love this place!!
Got 2 piercings here and Russ is the best. Hes super professional and soft spoken and calm which really helped my nerves. Everyones so nice here and the proceeds go to children in the autism spectrum which is amazing.
Wait was longer but we knew it from the get go. Came in with a party of five after all ours were said and done. Was over 3 hour wait. But the staff was so friendly and the artists were giving their all.
Amazing art, Amazing tattoo artists and a cause anyone can get behind. You have to check this place out!
Great artists and great energy all around. Nate is my favorite artist so far.
Recently got my first tattoo. The artist that did it, was honest and clear. He made the tattoo exactly like what I have always wanted. I plan to go back again for more tattoos in the future! For now, I’m going to heal from this first tattoo. He made my first tattoo experience great, not at all a horror story like others have from other tattoo shops and artists. I recommend you going here for your first tattoo or even your 100th tattoo!
Amazing! Got my nose pierced. Everyone was super friendly, and the piercer was quick, efficient, and informative. Definitely reccomend this place!
Great people! Gave me my first two tattoos today, and put up with me being a total wuss. c:
Aldo is the best! Everyone is so friendly here and they make sure everything is perfect for you!
Amazing prices friendly staff
Got simple pieces done for my wife and I done by Johnny, the owner. They were clean, fast, look great, and also were cheap! Its a non profit for whatever Johnny gets, so what you pay goes to a charity. Great parlor overall!
Got great ink work. Nathan took care of me and I plan to keep going back
Cant speak more highly of this shop. Got my lobes pierced last night by Russ, and it was a great experience. The atmosphere was like a time machine with punk music, sick shirts, and art to look at distracted me while I waited my turn. All the consent forms and sign in is electronic and they grab you when youre up. For the piercing itself, I was blown away by the selection of earrings to choose from; best part is they are all hypo-allergenic. Russ is a super nice guy and explained everything to me. On top of evrything else, the piercing was way cheaper than I had gotten at other tat shops. Much love, Spark Collective and thank you for the piercing.
Bryce W did a very good job on the tattoo.
Very friendly and super chill people. Their 20$ flash specials are pretty cool and a fun way to get a lil ink without too much expense!
The staff is incredibly friendly and understanding with changing schedules. I always enjoy going here
Great place. Great environment. Great tatts!
Very nice service I just love the idea of giving back to the community which this business does a lot of
Bryce did a fabulous job on my newest piece. What a great idea to help others. Hope the photo isnt to blurry. Hobbs came out great.
I love this place its a good organization
Amazing service and professional! The owner is great and friendly. Would go back there for all other work. What they do is amazing and giving back is a plus when you go here. Thank you!
Amazing staff. They are the best
Management is super laid back and friendly. The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic and feels very homey and comfy. Easily my favorite venue in Tucson ️
