Why Tucson Chooses NBTS

Worth the Drive from
Anywhere in Tucson

There are tattoo shops all over Tucson. But clients who care about quality, culture and craft keep coming back to New Beginnings — from South Tucson to Oro Valley, from the Eastside to Marana. Here is why:

🦁
Master-Level Experience
Jorge "Pelon" started tattooing at 13 years old. Over 30 years of perfecting his craft means your tattoo is in the hands of someone who has seen and solved every challenge — from delicate fine line to dense cover-ups on difficult skin.
✝️
Faith, Familia & Culture
NBTS is not just a tattoo shop — it is a ministry, a family and a cultural institution. Rooted in Chicano heritage and Christian faith, we bring intention and meaning to every single piece. When you sit in our chair, you leave changed.
🎨
Four Artists, Every Style
From black and grey realism and Chicano art to gothic surrealism, cyber-sigilism, fine line, floral, neo-traditional and color — our four-artist familia covers every style so you never have to shop around.
💬
Every Client is Family
We do not rush you. We do not treat you like a number. We sit with you, hear your story, understand what you want and build a piece around it. That is what separates NBTS from every other shop in Tucson.
🚶
Walk-ins Always Welcome
You do not always need a plan. Walk in any day we are open and we will fit you in. Mon–Wed 9am–9pm and Thu–Sat 10am–11pm. Flash designs always available, custom work always possible.
📍
Easy to Find, Easy to Park
Our new permanent home at 952 W. Prince Rd is centrally located in northwest Tucson with easy access from I-10, Oracle Road and Flowing Wells Road. Getting here from anywhere in Tucson is simple.
The Artists

Four Gifts. One Familia.

Clients drive from across Tucson — and sometimes across the state — to sit with these four. No matter your style, your vision or your story, one of our artists was built for your piece.
