    My first tattoo with Travis at Black Cat Tattoo!
    Neal J.

    As a present to myself for turning 40, I decided to get my first tattoo, and I wanted to do it while I was on Christmas vacation visiting my family in Twin Falls. (I currently reside in Las Vegas.) I had initially made my appointment with another business for Wednesday morning, but that fell through at the last minute, and I was forced to scour Yelp for other tattoo parlors that would be willing to take a walk-in. (I had already purchased tickets for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" at 3:30 and, thus, needed to get my ink done in less than 2 1/2 hours.) I finally landed at Black Cat Tattoo. Travis Campion took my phone call, and he assured me he could have me in and out in a couple hours. I emailed him a picture of what I wanted, and when I arrived ten minutes later, he already had a drawing prepared. (I'm a Super Mario Bros fan, and I chose an image of Mario riding Yoshi.) Travis started working on my right bicep around 12:30 and was done by 2:45. And while I was prepared for the pain, I was pleasantly surprised that the amount and duration of pain was well within tolerable levels. I was very pleased overall with my experience at Black Cat, and with Travis in particular. He gave clear instructions for the care of my tattoo and invited me to call him anytime with questions. His price was also fair and reasonable for the size and amount of time involved. The artwork and ink were very well done, and my friends and family have given praise as well. For my first - and probably only - tattoo, I'm very happy I ended up with Travis and Black Cat Tattoo!

    Results!  My first ink at age 48
    Julie E.

    I'm 48 years old and just got my first ink last week. I'd been thinking about it for more than a year, but finally got serious. I started by checking Yelp.com for local artists. I read a few reviews, even messaged one other Yelp user and settled on Black Cat. I stopped in at about 11:30 on a Friday morning. The shop is in an old strip mall storefront at about 31st & State. My assumptions about tatt shops were not disappointed, as there were s couple of guys there, one getting a sleeve worked on when I went in. They looked tough and gruff. The art samples on the wall are what lot of people (mostly those not familiar with the vast array of styles out there) would expect. Skulls, flames, busty dames.. nothing cutesy, nothing speaking to the recent generations of women (not unlike myself) seeking sweet, sparkly art. After I stood around for a few moments Travis asked if he could help me. I fessed up to being a first timer, and showed him on my phone the image I had in mind (yeah, it's Hello Kitty.. sue me.. LOL). He looked at it, and told me it would take about an hour. I asked if he had time that day to do it, and I think he was kind of surprised. He told me to come back in an hour. I'm fairly certain he was surprised when I came back. To the point that I don't think he'd sketched out the image and considered mixing ink. So I chilled (literally.. damn it was cold in there) in some old school seating, going between my phone and Kindle keeping busy. I filled out the consent form quickly, and read until Travis was ready for me. Travis applied the temporary image of my tatt to my arm, and I used a mirror to look at it. Thankfully I brought up a color issue, or I'd have more pink than I like. Hopefully that was a note to Travis to be sure he asks again before getting started, but it's not a bad reflection on him. The tables they use for us canvases to chill on are high, and slippery. I'm 5'7" and had to hop a bit and pull (wearing yoga pants) my obese frame onto the table with some finesse to keep from sliding right back off, but once I was there all was good. A lot of the reviews I read about shops mentioned the kind of music they play, I was kind of turned off by the word 'metal' in one of them. I was VERY happy to find that the guys at Black Cat play a good mix of music.. I sure as hell wasn't wanting Celine Dion, nor did I expected it.. which is GOOD because there WASN'T any (LOL). My ink is on my left bicep, yes.. it's Hello Kitty.. and I love it! People ask me if it hurt, pain is relative. I'm telling people that it was rather like a continual vibrating flu shot.. with just a couple of spots where I found myself needing to breathe deep. No tears from this chick though. Did I pay a lot? I think some would say I did, but I firmly believe every word I've ever heard from those who do ink art, and those who receive it. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I have no fear whatsoever that my ink will remain anything less than amazing. I plan to go back, as soon as I get another image in my head that I can't erase. You are never too old to express yourself, besides being normal is boring as hell. Live your life, love who you are, and laugh your ass off at every opportunity. Travis Campion at Black Cat Tattoo will do your proud with his artwork.

    Way over priced and don't even do that great of work. At least the girl there didn't, that's who did mine and my boyfriend's tattoo anyway.

    I first visited Devotion Tattoo about 8 years ago. I remember feeling welcome and everyone from my…read moreartist to the other artist in the studio were so kind and cool. I just returned and the greeting was the same! Everyone was awesome! The way they treat people is exactly how you want to be treated and it was amazing seeing them interact with someone getting their first tattoo as well as people getting just another tattoo. They are respectful, courteous and very knowledgeable. Huge shoutout to Weston for doing an amazing job! I can't wait to be back. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great tattoo experience!

    Justin is an incredible artist, friendly, accommodating, patient, and so creative. He gave three of…read moreus our first tattoos. Two were Justin's artwork, designed after consulting with us: a griffin launching off a rock in the ocean (took 3 hours to tattoo), and a set of specific flowers (magnolia, sunflower, borage, and chamomile) growing from a port scar (1 hour). One was created from custom artwork of our own (30 minutes, and it came out completely true to the original drawing). I won't lie, there are varying levels of pain involved, but Justin put us at ease and helped us get through it. And it's totally worth it. Our 17yo kid found devotion, having searched extensively for a shop with talented artists and impeccable safety/hygiene practices. We walked in without appointments, and left completely thrilled with Justin's work.
