Main Street Tattoo — Local services in Yuma

Last time I was at the shop, I got a piercing done. They told me Santiago was finishing a tattoo and it would be a 15 minute wait. Instead I waited an hour and a half. Today I went in to get my piercing changed and the woman on the phone told me I would be helped when I got to the shop. Instead, Santiago was doing a tattoo and I waited almost a full hour just to have them change my piercing really quick which took a minute. 30 minutes into waiting she told me he was done and just needed to clean the tattoo and would be done in about 5 minutes.

There are multiple locations of discoloration and “pitting” in the skin. Santiago is a good artist but lacks required aftercare procedures. I believe it to be a commonality between tattoo shops to use protective material and you should not settle for that because “it’s...

I've been looking for a place in yuma for a while. Right now the tattoo Is only a few hours old, but the line work is super precise and clean. Santiago was cool, was willing to make it work within my budget, showed me the clean new needles before starting. The shop is pretty small but it was great to find a place that is taking walk ins right now. The only thing I will say is part of the tattoo (the palm tree) started bleeding again an hour or so after it was finished and bleed quite a lot which I never had happen with my previous 15 tattoos. But that could be based on its location close to my elbow. I love my new tattoo and will for sure go back when I'm ready for...
