The Graffiti Shop

I am happy to report not only is Graffiti not closed but they are just as good as ever. Bought a piece there a couple of times and most recently (11÷8÷15) I got a piece that cracked from misuse and went back (had to wait for Lawrence) and we worked a deal on a pipe I liked better for almost nothing! Always a pleasure.

The graffiti shop is a pretty awesome little cultural spot in Tempe. Located in a hard-​to-​find place right on Mill (you have to find the waterfall cul-​de-​sac, then go from there), it’s worth it to check it out. They have a lot of smoking paraphenelia (i am not a smoker) but also other things local artists made like clothing and accessories. It’s a bit more pricey but it’s because most of the stuff is locally made. Also you can draw on the walls and stuff! Also a great place to buy tickets for concerts, raves, etc!

This place is, hands-​down, *the* best around!!! I’ve been coming here since 1993 because Lawrence and his staff offer, by far, *the* best overall experience and always have l-)

Okay I’m going to rate it good just so I can ask a question lol. Do they sell UV contact lenses?

Well I’m not really a pothead, so maybe I’m not the best person to be reviewing this. But I am.
For those of you who are potheads (i won’t judge), or anyone who actually smokes tobacco out of glass pipes (does anyone?), The Graffiti Shop has a great selection of really cool pipes, bongs, vapes, and what not.
What really interests me is the pipe designs, they have weirdly shaped ones, color changing ones, and my favorite, the German Shot-​Glass pipe. Maybe the weirdest thing I have experienced in a shop? I asked about them once when I was in there, and the guy simply took one out of the case, and threw it forcefully onto the concrete. I was more surprised by the fact that he actually did that than the fact that it didn’t even crack.
I also love that the Graffiti Shop is the one place I know I can go and smoke cigarettes inside. And I love that you can write in there. I still need to go in there and sign the wall.
Also, they sell pre-​sales for raves for any of you hardcore ravers out there that didn’t already know that.
Prices are fair for paraphernalia, as far as I know, and the service is good. Oh, and did I mention that the Pipes are blown by the guy that works there? I think he is the owner, not positive.
All in all a pretty cool store for all of your stoner needs.

I haven’t been to this place for years but I went to school with the owners son and would often stop by to chat and drag along my buddies who are into head shops.
This place has been around for a long time and the owner Lawrence is an interesting guy to talk to. I can confirm that their glass is hand blown by the family. Sometimes there are some creepy Mill rats hanging out here but I have never been bothered.
Support family owned businesses and do your shopping at Graffiti shop!

The Graffiti Shop is not what it used to be. Lawrence blows some of the glass pieces in his shop which are priced a little high compared to what we have similarly bought from other shops for much nicer pieces. There was virtually no selection of much else besides what was in the case. Either way, would visit again to browse as I like to support local artists.

Been going there for 10+ years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Best prices, local artists featured. The glass pieces are amazing and Lawrence is a great guy that I’ve sat and talked for hours with.
It’s a bit tricky to find; either go down the alleyway behind Starbucks and look for a staircase that goes down or there’s another entrance in the courtyard behind Fat Burger.
