This was my first tattoo and David did a fantastic job on the memorial tattoo of my dog. Everyone treated me with kindness and respect and were patient with all my questions about post tattoo care protocol. I highly recommend David for anyone looking to get a tattoo. If I ever decide to get a second tattoo, David will be my first and only choice!
David is not only a great artist, but he is a great business owner and person. I would not limit this man to just his tattoo abilities. The shop is amazing and capitalizes on the selective attention to the client during their time in the shop. Everyone in the shop is professional but at the same time their own individual and make you feel like you have known them for years. I never expected to go to a get a tattoo and meet great people. Johnna was fantastic with explaining what they are doing to keep me and the staff safe. Phoebe was polite and friendly while getting me in the chair and Holly was putting a great piece on another client. David and Art & Sols principals and practices are worth emulation! If you want a great tattoo while having a great experience, go to Art & Sol!
Overall this is a great place to go if you are looking to get an awesome tattoo. They are all very caring and nice there. I very highly recommend.
Clean, tasteful decor. Very good protocols for viruses. David and Johnna are wonderful. Tattoo is very attractive, David listened to what I wanted. Very comfortable atmosphere, highly recommend this place
David Meek is an amazing artist.Wouldnt go to anyone else for a tattoo.He knows his stuff. Isnt heavy handed.Very respectful and professional.His whole shop.is though. Very warm welcome feeling, you dont feel out of place.
They were professional and kind. I was able to have a safe space to share my story and describe what I wanted in my memorial tattoo. David brought through so much beauty in my piece that it brought me to tears. Their facility is clean and organized and everyone is a part of the process like a family. I would highly recommend them to anyone that asks.
My experience at Art and Sol Tattoo Gallery was perfect. It was my first tattoo, and I had a consultation beforehand to go over the design and placement. My artist was Molly, and she was extremely helpful in giving me her expert opinion while allowing me to give my input, so the design was exactly what I wanted. She drew it for me with multiple options so I could figure out what was best. On the day of the tattoo appointment she was very kind to make sure I was comfortable and ready to get it done, the shop was clean and friendly, and everything went well. I received emails after the appointment to follow up with the aftercare instructions that she gave me too. I will definitely be coming back here for my future tattoos.
I followed Molly from her last place of work because let me tell you this woman does amazing work! She is great at bringing to life what I invision my tattoos to look like. The whole crew there is so friendly and down to earth I love going there!!
There is so much to share about this place, that it is difficult to put into words. I have never felt so welcomed in a tattoo shop. But I realized that Art and Soul is not your typical tattoo shop, it is a true art gallery. Theyhave local artist display their art work and hold receptions. You feel the sense of community when you walk in and are embraced by the owner David Meek and my tattoo artist Molly. I followed Molly to Art and Sol and I am so excited to join her in an environment like Art and Sol. It is truly a place built for the community, conversations are rich and you are not just a customer there. I feel like so much more! I can not wait to continue working with Molly at Art and Sol. David and Molly you both are AMAZING!!
Art and Sol is without a doubt the best tattoo parlor and experience in the Dirty T. David and his team are fun, amiable, welcoming lovers of all arts, people and walks of life. The shop is always clean and is a place that instantly welcomes you in more than any location or place of business you’ll find. I’ve had almost 30 hours worth of work done by David for my full back piece and it is the envy of all and second to none! His work is spectacular, exceptionally priced and what’s more, he’s up front about everything. From bringing my idea in to the final session, there hasn’t been a SINGLE detail missed or not addressed, and the work more than speaks for itself. I’ll get ink from Art and Sol as long as I’m still getting ink: they’re an amazing team who will share your love of art and life, and what’s more, they’ll help you pursue and make real that goal. If you want an artist that will do truly phenomenal work AND create an experience you’ll enjoy, the team at Art and Sol is it!
Owners were awesome and really took the time to figure out exactly what we wanted. Super clean and inviting space also.
I have been going to David since I was 18. I would never change an artist, EVER! Art and Sol Tattoo Gallery expresses professionalism, talent, it is trustworthy, and is full of the best spirited and kindest artists. It is a place to feel comfortable and receive a tattoo that you didn’t think could ever happen. If you want to receive a tattoo, I recommend no other place but Art and Sol Tattoo gallery. If you want a tattoo done the way you want, go here!
Art and Sol has perfected the ideal tattoo environment! The shop is welcoming, comfortable, and clean. Everyone there makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Their work is amazing, I highly recommend making an appointment with them ASAP!
Came to this shop for the first time yesterday to get tattooed by Molly (I follow her so I was really excited to see this new place) and I was just blown away with how nice it looked. There was beautiful art everywhere and everyone there was so nice. I got some touch up work done and a new quote done by Molly. This is my 6th tattoo by Molly and for sure not my last! The atmosphere is really great and I highly recommend Art & Sol to whoever is looking to get more tattoos and see some great art work.
Molly is an amazing artist! She has blessed me with beautiful tattoos I have the honor of having the rest of my life. You will not be disappointed! Molly and David make the time and the effort to create unique and incredible pieces of art for their clients.
David Meek is by far the best tattoo artist in Tucson! He goes above and beyond for all his clients. Extremely chill and comfortable work environment great attitude and extremely fun to work with! David gave me a beautiful memorial piece for my daughter I lost and I’m lost for words how he brought my vision to life. I will never go to anyone else but David. Keep up the incredible work you do for all your clients. You are extremely loved and we appreciate everything you do for us!!
I live in Phoenix and I still only go to Tucson to have David cover my tattoo needs. He is the most talented, personable and considerate tattoo artist I’ve ever come across. I can annoyingly vaguely tell him what I want and he will draw up something better than I could ever imagine. I highly and solely recommend this shop to anyone and everyone.
David Meek gave me my first all color piece and it is beyond my expectations. He was very professional and fun to work with. His shop environment is clean and comfortable. He and I talked during the whole session which kept me relaxed. I would definitely go back to get more tattoos and refer others to him. Great artist and even better person.
This is THE most amazing shop! Absolutely AMAZING artists and they have such a great vibe!! They really want to support the local community and artists which is what we need more of! Cant wait to attend a showing and start planning my next tattoo!
Molly is an amazing artist. She really listens to your wants and desires while magnificent artwork.
Art and Sol is a truly unique shop that combines outstanding tattoos and beautiful works of art. As you enter to your right there is a great seating area where you can wait for your turn in the chair. You are greeted by a clean and neat shop with music in the air. I was there today and I felt welcome and at home. Although I was only there for a touch-up David took the time to have a one-on-one personal conversation with me about the goings-on around us. In no time at all we were done and another outstanding work of art was complete. Please do yourself a favor and go see David at Art and Sol. Before you know it you will consider David a friend like I do.I have known David Meek since he was a tattoo apprentice. I have followed him from The Tattoo Shop to Inkaholics Anonymous to Fast Lane on Oracle then the Molino Lounge and now Art and Sol Tattoo Gallery. I have watched David grow from a new artist to now seeing him create absolutely beautiful works of tattoo art. Anytime I have someone asked me where they should get a tattoo I refer them to David
Molly took my vision of a tattoo I wanted and made it 1000x better than I ever could have imagined. Definitely recommend awesome atmosphere very friendly and relaxing place to get a tattoo. Will be going back for more!
Amazing work. The artist is extremely welcoming and an overall amazing person and artist. Would HIGHLY recommend.
Ive known Dave from the beginning. Always been very professional, kind, and clean. If youre someone who likes to brainstorm ideas with your artist, he is your guy! Always a pleasure to deal with! Dave, so happy I found you again! Cant wait to get all inked up! Congratulations on your own shop man, I wish you all the best!
Very clean tattoo and Art Gallery that has an enviroment that is fanstastic, very comfortable and inviting! David is an knowledgeable and experienced artist. He does great tattoo work that you will be proud to rock forever! Molly, another artist, is friendly and also does great work. Recommend this place, 10 out of 10!!
Great artist, clean, comfortable, and beyond what you expect when you get a tattoo. From his little, secluded shop to the thank you card sent in the mail days later...everything was great. My tattoo is still healing but its beyond what I imagined. Thank you for making it a great experience!!
If I could give more stars I would. He’s so talented!! Amazing service.
Ive been going to David for awhile now. He is the only one Ill let tattoo me. NOT your typical tattoo shop, super friendly and really down to earth atmosphere, feels more like your hanging out but then you walk out at the end with a badass tattoo. The new shop looks great as well. Just went in to finally finish up my sleeve. I had started This a year ago and only had an idea for a Tim burton sleeve when I first came in and David took each of my ideas and created a truley unique tattoo that your not gonna find anywhere else. This guy is definitely going places!
I Think David Meek is an awesome Tattoo artist and doesnt get the credit he deserves. I got a tattoo at his shop yesterday and I couldnt have asked for a better inviorment or artist. He takes his time and makes sure your tattoo is exactly how you want it. He is very good at what he does and is all together a great guy. Thanks Dave for the awesome tattoo bro!!
Such a talented artist who will make your customer tattoos a reality. Much recommended for anyone wanting any tattoo. Beyond fair, with a clean workspace.
Dave is by far the best. He is extremely patient and takes his time to ensure what you’re getting is exactly what YOU want. He has taken a range of ideas we’ve thrown at him and created the perfect piece on many occasions. His shop is so peaceful and welcoming. It seriously feels like you’re in the comfort of your own home. The entire time is strictly about YOU and making sure you leave with everything you imagined and more!! We’ve been seeing Dave for 6 years now and will never go anywhere else. Seriously, make an appointment NOW!! You will not be disappointed!!
Dave’s tattooing is top notch, he is very proficient at many styles of tattooing. Had by far my best tattoo experiences with Dave. Dave is working on my Captain Hook themed half sleeve and being a Disney lover himself the experience is a lot of fun. The tattoo itself is beyond what I could imagine. Recently he did an amazing job covering up a foot tattoo, the old tattoo is completely gone and the new one is beautiful and will stand the test of time. The new studio is very personal, relaxing and overall good time -how tattooing should be.100% recommend - Dylan C.
Id like to thank David Meek at the Molina Lounge. Tattoo and a Movie. Comfortable, and Awesome, Environment. Private and Chill also. After my grandmother past away last year seeing as she was the one who raised me like her own child I felt I needed to have a portrait of her on me. It was the least I can do. I was sceptical and nervous on where and who Id get it from but after letting David Meek bless me with the ink I feel like he showed justice for my family through the art on my skin. Thanks again David and I will definitely be going back. Heres to five stars at the Molina Lounge. I found a new artist for future work.
Super cute place to get a tattoo in tucson! very clean and professional! the atmosphere is chill, david makes you feel comfortable and he is efficient! every time i go back i will be planning a visit to his shop!
I LOVED working with Dave! This was my first tattoo and I honestly could not have had a better experience. Dave designed my tattoo for me and it was absolutely fantastic. He was super friendly and made me feel very relaxed throughout the process. His private studio was excellent and I really enjoyed how welcoming the environment was.
Dave is the most amazing tattoo artist. If you want good work done, you come here, he can create the most amazing pieces of art that you will be proud to show off!! Ive had multiple tattoos done by him and I get compliments constantly about how good they are. Come see Dave and you will never be disappointed.
Absolutely amazing gallery, staff, quality tattoos and overall experience!
Fantastic art and attention to detail. Listens to your input and is just all around a fun guy to hang out with while recieving a tattoo.
David is not only a great tattoo artist but an awesome guy! He makes the experience and atmosphere of getting a new tattoo even more exciting then just another piece. Its always a great and fun time, he definitely knows how to make you laugh. The new place is even better, more personable and has such a unique and chill vibe!
I first met David when my daughter needed a fix on her tattoo that she got for her 18th birthday. My son had gotten a Tattoo from David and recommended that I take her to him because he really liked his work. David transformed her tattoo into something she loved. My other daughter wanted a more involved tattoo and David designed and gave her a tattoo that truly is a work of art. As far as myself, I wanted a small tattoo with my kids initials on it. David designed a sweet tattoo, and now I have the pleasure of seeing it on my ankle everyday ! I love it and am super happy I decided to get it. David is an artist, a true professional, and super kind as well ! My family and I all recommend him highly !
Best Tattoo Artist. Nice relaxed atmosphere.
David by far is the best tattoo artist i have ever been to!! I have been going to him for years and I’ve never EVER left unhappy. He has tattood me from my neck to my calf and every single piece is beyond stunning! He’s professional, great to talk to, and always makes sure that the work he’s doing is exactly what YOU want! David, you simply are the best and I’m incredibly grateful that i get to call you not only my tattoo artist but my friend!! I will never go to anyone else!
I’ve been getting tattoos for almost a decade and had a bunch of space left over in my arm I wanted to fill up. This shop was recommended by someone I’m working with while visiting Tucson, and setting the appointment up was as easy as a couple texts with Dave. When I went in I didn’t really know what to get but Dave worked with me and five hours later I had exactly what I wanted. Probably the coolest tattoo shop atmosphere and experience I’ve ever had. HIGHLY recommend hitting him up if you’re in town!!
I couldnt be happier. I found David through a google search, saw his raving reviews and made the call. I had a concept of paradise in my mind for a cover up. David sat down and pulled the image from my mind and put pencil to paper and made it real. He was able to accomplish what I was told by another artist, would be impossible. The piece is truly a work of art. Im proud to be sporting such a gorgeous piece. The price was fair and the atmosphere was nice. All in all, my review is that this place and this artist are under rated at the 5 stars.
Yes, it was a little difficult for me to find, but this guy is great. Hands down one of my best experiences, especially while getting my feet done. Him and his daughter were so sweet to talk to me to distract me from this crazy idea I had. But it was awesome. Ill continue going to David and his awesome new shop for years.
I have been Daves client for over 5 years now his level of professionalism is second to none. Dave cares about his clients and just about any idea you bring to him he has the ability to execute. He is extremely talented and gifted in his craft and he is also very patient with his clients to ensure they receive nothing but quality work. I believe Dave is a top artist in Tucson and if you visit his shop for a session you leave knowing why.
The Molino Lounge is a very nice place. The studio is clean and private. I always feel very comfortable, and I know Im getting the best tattoo experience in Tucson.
Great artist with a great attitude. Make the experience enjoyable!!.... Nothing but positive vibes.
He does Amazing work! Very personable. He makes the experience feel very comfortable and you are relaxed. David makes sure you get what you wanted and you are satisfied. 100 percent recommend him! Go check him out!
Looking for a good atmosphere and even better tattoos? Ive received multiple tattoos from David Meek, and Im more than satisfied. He has clean line work and a sanitary shop. I recommend him if you are looking for a highly skilled and talented artist here in Tucson.
My 1st initial meeting with David was Awesome! His studio is private and Way exceeded my expectations!His professionalism was Superb and I an So looking foward to my private appointment day!!!
Simply brilliant! David is a wonderful tattooist, he has a light touch and gave me a really unique and beautiful tattoo. What impressed me the most was how insightful he was about the artistry and execution of his tattoos. David was so personable and I had a really great experience at his shop.
My experience with Dave was awesome. It was my first tattoo and he made me feel completely comfortable and made sure I was confident with my decision. He was very kind to me and my family and very patient as well. I love the location of the shop! Its not too busy. I will be back in the near future!
Great place. Better owner. Amazing work. You wont be disappointed.
Dave is a great and friendly artist. I absolutely love my tattoo. Your comfort in the process is his highest priority and makes you feel right at home. Cant wait to finish the rest of my tattoo, will definitely be going back.
Every time I have gotten a tattoo done with Dave I leave beyond happy. He is always able to create the perfect tattoo based on all the minor details that I give him. Truly visionary & one of the most humble tattoo artists I have ever met. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone who is looking for an all around great tattoo experience because I can gaurantee you will leave beyond happy.
My son Steven lost one of his very best friends to suicide he has really struggled with this loss. After a ton of thought he decided to get this tattoo. All thought he always said he never wanted one.... I contacted David and explained our situation. David really took The time to connect with Steven about this tattoo. David was so sympathetic and even shared a very personal story with us. David and Steven will be forever connected. He did an AMAZING job on this tattoo that will forever will remind him of his friend. He and David talked about he placement and meaning of his tattoo and it hit deep in Stevens game tonight asst heart..its tucked in the inside his arm as it is not for show but a reminder of the meaning of the semicolon and of the cross. The cross as a reminder where all wounds are healed and shows us Gods abundance of love. He chose his right arm because he lost a right hand man.A semicolon represents a sentence the author could have ended, but chose not to. The sentence is your life and the author is you You Matter. Something will grow from all you are going through and it will be you as you are not alone and your story does not end here.As this tattoo heals I hope and pray that some of his heartache also heals.
I have been going to David Meek for every tattoo I’ve gotten from the minute I turned 18 til now, he is a tremendous artist with a fun attitude and vibe so it’s always fun to get some ink and tell dumb jokes for hours! His studio is very welcoming and “home” like and I personally love that, it really sets itself on a different level from other tattoo studios. My family, friends, and I love Dave and his work and he has gained lifetime customers from us for sure! If you’re looking for a high quality tattoo artist or just a major disnerd then Dave Is definitely your guy!!
David is amazing! His tattoos are high quality and the environment is fun and comfortable. He takes the time to make sure you get exactly what you want and has great skill with color. This is the only place I’d ever get tattoos!
David meek is a badass tattoo artist! I will NEVER have ANY work done by anyone else! I will be getting all my tattoos done by him for sure!
Ive gone to David for five tattoos over the past 10 years. This dude always takes my ideas to the next level and makes them into a tattoo that looks better than I could have imagined. Hes a super cool guy to talk to while getting inked and will make sure youre 100 with your work. If you dont get your tattoo done by David, youre a damn commie.
Ive been going to Dave for over 5 years. He is the most reliable, friendly, creative tattoo artist Ive meet. He always makes my ideas 100 times better that I ever imagined.. His new shop is comfortable and family friendly. Ive refered all my friends and family too him, everyone has had a wonderful experience and loves their tattoos.
David does amazing tattoos. His work is creative and he always brings my tattoos to life. He is my only artist and I plan on sending everyone I can to him. Hes very personable and always makes you feel welcome.
Amazing work and less than half the pain Ive had from other artists. Ive found my spot and will not go anywhere else.
I love David. I recommend him to all my friends and always show off the art he does for me. he really helps my ideas come to life, giving me honest and professional opinions, and doing everything he can to make me comfortable.
David Meek Molino Lounge is an awesome cozy place for great tattoos! David Meek is a very talented artist, I highly recommend him!
I found David Meek Tattoos on Instagram and I’m so glad I did! He’s one of the most down to earth people I’ve met and his art is amazing! He made sure I loved everything about both tattoos multiple times. He was great, I’ll be going back for more work!
I enjoyed getting my tattoo at Davids shop. The decor is fun, and the atmosphere is comfortable and clean. I have gotten tattooed by David in several settings and this is by far my favorite!
I have nothing but positive things to say. The atmosphere of the studio was relaxed and welcoming. The minute i walked in Dave greeted me and offered me a refreshing beverage, customer service to the max. He also took the time to listen to what i was going for, and came up with something above and beyond my expectations. if you want lame tattoos and a boring artist, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for an artist that will listen, tell you silly jokes, and take his time creating some awesome art for you, Dave is your guy.
I have 6 tattoos by David and I love every one of them - I receive compliments almost daily on them! Love the atmosphere of the shop and David is awesome!
Best artist in Tucson, hands down, amazing work,funny and very professional. David meek will continue to do my tattoos for as long as I am alive. Thanks David for the best work ever
Long time artist and friend. Great work, great atmosphere and always fun. He also does art outside of tattoos. Cards, invitations and custom apparel. Look him up!
Had my very first tattoo done by David ! He’s an awesome guy! Went to his new shop, and love it there! Will recommend to all friends and colleagues
Im new to the area for about a year now. Who knew I had one of the best tattoo artists in Tucson within walking distance! Its a win win here! From the atmosphere I felt like I was hanging out at a buddys place with visuals that were immediately calm stress reducing. David himself it was like speaking with a friend I havent talked to in awhile and just picking up where we left off. I am glad to have found him and was VERY satisfied with my paying homage tattoo addition name below as well as touching up the first name above, spot on!!! I know everyones proud all around whether with us or not. Tucson Metro Area, come see this guy!!! Its worth the wait, deposit and travel if you are far. Thank you!!!
He was just great! He took a cover up and incorporated it into multiple existing tattoos- so happy with the result we’re going again Wednesday for a new one! Good times!And here I am again!! Since then he has done a killer extension to a side piece and going back today to do some art to cover a scar!!
Super professional environment with good vibes. David do a memorial tattoo on my wrist and a coverup on my leg. I am incredibly happy with both. I will be going back to him for the rest of the work I want done.
Great, super cool artist. Always accommodating with scheduling and very professional. I always recommend David to my friends and family.
Love my new tattoo by David, he is patient, listens to what you are wanting and does amazing work ! I highly recommend him and look forward to my next tattoo with him .
David does great work! Id recommend contacting him for any tattoo work. He is a true professional. Thanks for fitting me in amigo!
I met David meek and he is just a delight! Definitely going to make it my main event place to get tattoos
I’ve been coming to David for years and won’t go to anyone else!!! He’s great and so easy to talk to! He makes you feel comfortable!
Such a laid back and comfortable atmosphere!! All my tattoos have been by David and he literally takes what im seeing in my head and puts it in the paper, couldnt trust anyones else with my tattoos! Also, love how no randoms walk in in the middle of my session, cant ever lose street cred again!
David is a great guy. Listen to everything i wanted in my tattoo and made it happen.
Very detail oriented tattoo artist. Reasonable rates.
Dave is a professional, fantastic, and people friendly artist. I recommend his tattoo abilities to anyone interested.
This guy is awesome. Easily my favorite tattoo guy.
Most awesome experience ever!!Great guy, amazing artist, and super comfortable place to get a tattoo!
Amazing work - you won’t be disappointed!! Very personable & attentive to what you want!!
Just a completely amazing experince. This was my first tattoo so I wasnt fimilar with tattoo culture or lingo. Somehow the genuis that is David was able to understand the very abstract picture I was describing and then make it 100 times better than I ever could have thought. ( though the actuall picture was totally diffrent I told David I wanted the feeling of an old wooden boat sailing off the ends of the earth into space, when my wife sees the tattoo for the first time she says it gives off the feeling of Pirates of the Carribean in space ) HE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD PERFECTLY FOR WHAT I WANTED with no help from me. Obviously in-order to understand my vision he had to be patient, friendly and engaged. Traits that made a great picture but also a great experience. The place is clean and comfortable. Aside from the actual art work he showed great professionalisim and a work ethic that only comes when a person gives his heart to his work ( hes modest about it but it plainly shows). This experience was to me a collaberation on a great and spiritual vision I had in my head that would not have become a reality if not for David, I thank him and highly recomend if you are looking for the same that you contact him.
Best tattoo artist in town, great chill little shop, great vibes and environment!
Love the work! Great, and relaxing atmosphere.
He did amazing line work, was very friendly.
Clean studio, friendly service. Only artist Ill go to.
Dave is hands down the best artist in town!!!
Great work, comfortable and friendly environment
