Grape Ape is a family run tattoo shop on 4th Ave in Tucson. Five tattoo artists work under one roof, body piercing is on the menu too, and the doors stay open until midnight Wednesday through Saturday. Whether you have a full sleeve planned or just want something off the wall tonight, this is a tattoo shop built around walking in and getting great work.
No appointment needed. Stop by the tattoo shop any day we’re open and we'll match you with an artist who has room in their chair. For bigger custom pieces, send us your idea or DM us on Instagram so we can plan the right amount of time.
Our crew covers custom designs, black and grey, bold traditional, memorial pieces and cover ups. Bring a reference or a rough sketch and your artist will draw it up to fit your placement. Meet the artists.
We want Tucson to have a tattoo shop that holds the highest standards of artistry, hygiene and customer experience. Every piece, big or small, is done with care, precision and positivity.
Ear, nose, lip, navel and more, done with single use needles in a sterile setup, plus clear aftercare before you leave. We're bringing on a new piercer, so call ahead to check availability. See the full piercing list.
Not sure what you want? Our wall of flash is packed with ready to go designs. Pick one, choose your size and placement, and you can often get tattooed the same day. Take a look inside.
You're in good hands. Bring a valid photo ID (you must be 18 or older), eat beforehand, and ask anything. Our FAQ covers pricing, prep and aftercare at our tattoo shop.
“Great work, great atmosphere. Not only do I love all the work, but the rates are reasonable and I have a blast every time I go. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo.”
“Three artists here did memorial pieces for me. Good quality, good people that communicate and are able to connect with you.”
