Kowloon Tattoo

Whenever someone asks me where to get a tattoo I point them to Cathy and her shop Kowloon Tattoo. Cathy makes you feel so welcomed through her professionalism and attention to your well being while getting tattooed. Tattoos hurt and the last thing you want to feel is out of place, that's not the case here. Kowloon tattoo has such a genuine ambiance, most tattoo shops in Phoenix feel intimidating but here its easy to find comfort and be relaxed. Cathy's work speaks on behalf of her prowess- that is true, but just as unequivocal is that you'll leave Cathy's shop with the sentiment that you are a participant in the lasting human tradition of tattooing and to me thats a special experience. It's real.

I absolutely love Miss Cathy, she’s been a huge part of my healing journey and her art work is just amazing. She never disappoints and is so open minded to ideas. Love her to pieces, so glad I found her!

I've gotten two pieces done by Cathy and have been amazed both times by her incredible talent, craftsmanship, and personality. It is evident that her culture and lived experiences are deeply important to her, and you can see it on each piece she does! I get compliments all the time on the tattoos she has done on me and always make sure to brag that I got them done at Kowloon! Not to mention, her shop is incredibly clean and well-decorated - always playing great music as well! It is located in a great area with some great cafés and restaurants if you get there early or need to eat after your appointment. I would recommend Cathy and Kowloon to anyone and everyone looking for some new ink. Her flash is incredible and full of sick pieces, and she is open to all sorts of ideas. If you want clean work, a nice atmosphere and a cool conversation (who wouldn't!), look no further! I know for sure that she has a forever client in myself!

I cannot recommend Cathy enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. She took the time to really understand the style I wanted and made sure everything felt personal and intentional. I was nervous about how color would show up on my skin tone, but Cathy took the time to educate me and carefully chose shades that would complement me beautifully and they turned out perfect. The appointment itself went smoothly, and she provided clear aftercare instructions. She even followed up a few days later to check in, which meant a lot. Hands down the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had!

Cathy is a wonderful artist and a great hang. Her shop is small, private, and welcoming. Its always a pleasure getting tattooed here. She makes it easy. I have at least a dozen of her drawings saved to my camera roll for future appointments.
