Our work
LOOK BEFORE YOU BOOK
Every piece here is ours, on a real client, photographed in the shop. Tap any of them to see it full size. The whole gallery is right here.
Paper first
Every one starts on paper.
Bert's drawing on the left, the finished tattoo on the right. Same piece, before the needle and after. Pick another one underneath.
How it goes
THREE SHORT STEPS. NO PRESSURE ON ANY ONE OF THEM.
Send your idea
Placement, size, style, and any reference art or a photo of the spot. The quote form takes pictures, and Try It On lets you see one of Bert's drawings on you first. You get a straight price and your session count back.
Sit down and talk it through
The consultation is free. We draw it up, you change what you want, and we both know it's right before the gun touches your skin.
Your time in the chair
The clean station, the drawing you approved, and aftercare written down when you leave. Aftercare is here if you want to read it now.
In their words
5.0 ON GOOGLE. HERE'S WHY.
★★★★★officially found my new tattoo artist! bert has went above my expectations on what i wanted done. he gave me 2 new tattoos and did touch-ups on 2 of mine. I am absolutely in love with all 4 that I had done. I live in Texas and will forever come back to ash fork to have bert put more beautiful art on my body! Definitely a 10 out of 10. and his shop is absolutely amazing and very welcoming!
★★★★★Stopped by here on our Route 66 adventure. They were absolutely amazing!! Would highly recommend! They were also very sweet as well! Great conversations!
★★★★★I needed a very personal piece of art done as I was traveling thru my namesake town. A town so small they didn’t have an ink shop, so I searched to find the closest qualified place and scored with Bert’s Ink. They were prepped for my arrival and I saw the place was clean and capable. Bert did a fantastic job of making a dream art piece come alive. Also, very important. He uses the correct tape and gives perfect instructions on care. Highly recommended to anyone seeking body art anywhere in the vicinity. Worth the trip . I should add pricing is super reasonable compared to other parlors I’ve been to

Route 66
Passing through? Leave with something that lasts.
Bert's Ink sits just a few miles off the Mother Road between Williams and Seligman. Travelers stop on the way to the Canyon or the way home, and a Route 66 piece from a small shop in a small town is the kind of souvenir you never lose. How to plan it.
