“Taylor did a great job on my chest and sleeve. Super chill guy, great atmosphere, and very professional from start to finish. The work came out amazing and the whole process was easy and comfortable. Definitely going back to him for my next tattoo.”

“Taylor is hands down one of the best tattoo artists I’ve worked with. He has the softest hands—seriously, like an angel while tattooing. I didn’t use any numbing cream, and even in a 7+ hour session I barely experienced any soreness, redness, or pain. That alone says a lot about his skill and touch. Beyond that, he was super easy to work with, professional the entire time, and really cared about making sure I was getting the best possible tattoo—from placement to overall experience. He explained everything clearly, gave great aftercare instructions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. The quality of the work speaks for itself. If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, patient, and genuinely invested in their craft, Taylor is your guy.”

Ian Dunbar
“Taylor Is an amazing artist and a great guy. Extremely easy to talk to, very entertaining, and his art is impeccable. I will be getting additional pieces from him in the future, and can’t recommend enough to anyone looking to get their first tattoo or sleeve out their whole arm. His shop is clean and comfortable. Not only does he do amazing work, but he follows up to ensure that you’re healing well and that you’re satisfied. Again, cannot recommend enough!”
Marcus Kitching
“Taylor did an amazing job. I came to him with a pretty vague idea, and he sat down with me and helped conceptualize and turned my idea into a concept. The best experience I’ve had getting a tattoo done by far. He actually gave me a lot of suggestions for the design that I would not have thought of. Extremely happy with the result, and will 100% be coming back to him for every tattoo I get moving forward!”
Alan Tequianez Martinez

“If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo with Taylor book the appointment ASAP! He will patiently work with you and make sure you get exactly what you want out of a tattoo. Doesn’t matter if you already have work done or coming in for a first tattoo. Nothing but high class professionalism. From setting the appointment communicating on the piece and the transparency behind the tattoo I knew i was in good hands when sitting for the work. He books fast so set a date and get excited for that new piece you’ll get to show off!”

“A true professional in his art, hands down the best realism tattoo artist in Arizona. Not only will I be a returning client but would highly recommend!!”
Gabriel Cardona
“I originally got my top outer sleeve done with @rafaeltatts in Miami and was struggling to find someone of the same caliber here in Phoenix until I found Taylor. His work is absolutely top quality. From the first design session to completing three full-day sessions with him in total now, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and extremely enjoyable. I now get compliments on my tattoos almost every single day. Taylor is the only artist I trust to continue tattooing me, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. I reached out to Taylor with my ideas and gave him creative freedom to come up with something original and bold and he didn’t disappoint. Taylor is truly a gifted and talented artist and overall a cool dude.”
Corey Iglesias
“One of these best Artists in Phoenix or all of Arizona. Taylor is super talented, very down to earth dude, great at responding and addressing your concerns if you have any. I have completed an outer sleeve with him and 4 other tattoos. I could never go to another artist.”

“Several months ago, I started a half arm sleeve with an artist from another shop. I’ve worked with about 10 artists over the years, and I had never experienced anything like it. The artist was extremely unprofessional, and after what felt like a nightmare, I was left with an incomplete tattoo they refused to finish I spent a few days searching endlessly for someone who could match the style and complete it. That’s when I came across Taylor’s Instagram page. I reached out, explained my situation, and he immediately responded with empathy. He reassured me he could fix it and was genuinely happy to help Fast forward to the appointment—Taylor was nothing but professional from start to finish. He went above and beyond, even spending hours tracking down the same reference photo the previous artist used to make sure the finished tattoo blended seamlessly Taylor is an absolute pro and a pleasure to work with. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for black and grey realism, he’s the artist you want for your next tattoo”

“My experience with Taylor Tharp at Monarch tattoo studio was amazing overall. Taylor is insanely talented!!! I was looking for a good tattoo artist to do a sleeve on my left arm. I just moved here last year and I wanted someone that was good at realistic black and grey type tattoo work. I came across Taylor’s work on his website and was immediately impressed. I ended up contacting him and we met up later that week to go over ideas for my sleeve. Taylor made this process really easy!!! He actually took the time to listen to my ideas and also added his creative thoughts on what the final tattoo would look like. He was also super chill and easy to get along with. I thought his price per session was really fair as well. Eventually we scheduled 3 sessions to complete the sleeve. I just finished the third session last month and the sleeve turned out better than I had originally hoped!! I have no complaints. I highly recommend Taylor and will be getting the rest of my tattoos with him for sure. If you are thinking about getting a new tattoo and need a talented artist that cares about what you want, I wouldn’t hesitate choosing him to tattoo with. Side note: Monarch tattoo studio was very clean with a modern aesthetic. Its a cool studio everyone is really friendly as well.”

Ruben Cota
“Taylor did an awesome job on the tattoo i been wanting for years. It was a picture of a really cool skull, that is displayed in a museum. I gave him all the pics and he killed it. 8.5 hour session and man, it’s exactly the picture. He has a very light hand in all the areas it needs to be, so the pain level was very tolerable. Thank you again Taylor. I will definitely be getting more work from you in the very near future!!!!!”
