Josh Carter
- Tattoo Artist
Dame of the West Tattoo is at 7151 E 6th Ave in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona. Its location makes it particularly practical for visitors already staying, dining or spending time around Old Town rather than requiring a trip to another part of Scottsdale.
The studio currently publishes a $100 shop minimum. The final cost increases according to factors such as the design's size, placement and detail, so $100 should be treated as the starting point rather than an estimate for every tattoo.
Yes. Walk-ins are accepted every day and handled first-come, first-served according to artist availability. Walk-in clients can select existing flash or bring their own idea for an available artist to adapt for tattooing.
Yes. The studio specifically accommodates groups for matching tattoos, coordinated flash or different individual tattoos. For groups of three or more, Dame of the West recommends calling before arriving so multiple artists can be coordinated and waiting time reduced.
Josh Carter is particularly relevant for someone planning Japanese work. He has tattooed since 1997 and describes Japanese as his exclusive specialty, with a preference for larger-scale projects as well as smaller one-shot designs. Jonas Richards also lists Japanese among his specialties alongside American Traditional and Anime.
The studio offers tattoo cover-ups and reworks, although a consultation may be necessary depending on the existing tattoo's size and detail. It does not provide piercing or sell piercing jewelry; Dame of the West identifies itself as a tattoo-only studio.
