We went in to get my eleven year-old daughter's ears re-pierced as the holes she got at three were too low. She was a little nervous before and Steve was so awesome with her. He explained everything and even told her the extra holes were essentially "not something to be worried about but an extra option" (as people can do them stacked or in a triangle). What a cool guy to help a little girl feel secure. I ended up getting a piercing myself in my inner lobe and I really like how it turned out. Great experience for all of us! read more

Just had an industrial piercing and another cartilage piercing done by Steve! I have had other piercings done before from different places and Steve was by far the best piercing experience I have ever had! I have high anxiety and he made everything very relaxing and comfortable and did such an amazing job I didn't even realize he was already done! (: thank you Steve!!! I'm only coming here for piercings now! read more

I cannot thank Megan enough for the incredible, professional way she handled my first tattoo. I brought in ideas from three pictures and she was able to blend the design beautifully. I was nervous about anticipated pain but she described perfectly what I should expect. No pain, interesting conversation, great music, relaxing atmosphere. I cannot believe I waited so long for this beautiful tattoo! Thanks Megan! read more

Element Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

I went in to get my nipples pierced for my 19th birthday day, and the lady with the dreads missed her dot completely and lop sided my right breast. It looks awful & when I called the next day when I noticed and swelling went down she yelled at me on the phone and called herself a master piercer. Saying I didn't understand my own body's anatomy and wouldn't even refund the one tit I'm gonna have to take out. DO NOT GO TO HER. SO disappointed. read more

My 4-year-old daughter had her ears pierced at Element. Steve was awesome. He was very patient and kind with her. He explained the piercing step in detail as well as the cleaning and healing process. I would highly recommend Element for piercings. read more

I've had my nose pierced 3 times and I'm not one to complain about service but this was the worst piercing I've ever gotten. The jewelry was cheap and falls out every very often. I switched it to one of their L shaped studs and it still continued to fall out and thus caused my hole to close. The people were very nice and helpful but I would not recommend getting pierced here. read more

All but my first lobe piercings have been done here by Steven, and they're all so perfect. He makes sure to place things where they'll heal correctly and always shows you the sanitary packages and workstation. I've also had a cursive tattoo done by Megan (and an appointment for another one has already been set up) and it's so beautiful. The lines are so precise and dainty still, and I've had the tattoo for over a year. Can't wait to get another one by her, and I'll definitely be going to Element for my tattoos and piercings until I'm no longer in the area. Note: you CANNOT just walk in for tattoos. Both artists are in high demand and thus appointments must usually be booked at least a month in advance. Most of the time, you can walk in for piercings, but you should probably still call beforehand to make sure. read more

Saw Steve for new Medusa piercing this Saturday. He was professional , friendly and made me feel very comfortable. My new piercing is so freakin rad. First time at Element. The shop is really pretty with nice green plants lining the windows. The owner was also nice. Highly recommend :) read more

So this morning I decided I was to try this place for a tattoo. I get there a little early in waiting, they open some guy opens the door I ask if he had time to do a small tattoo. It would have taken 30 minutes maybe. I didn't even get through the door he say no, of course he is rude and closes the door. We sat outside the store for awhile and I have to say no came to that shop. The upsetting thing was it was a memorial tattoo for my sister who passed away in August. I guess it wasn't worth the 150 dollars he would have made. This is the last place I would refer anyone to. read more

Went and got my first tattoo done here during my time in Montana. Called in a couple days before to make an appointment and they were able to get me right in. Arriving to the shop I noticed it was very clean, and my tattoo artist went over the process of showing me the clean new needles in their packaging. Being a little nervous for my first tattoo, the girl talked me through it, asking what my favorite movies are and asking about the inspiration for my tattoo. Although I do not remember her name, I remember her telling me about her first tattoo being a big dragon on her back, which is awesome!! There were no changes made to my original tattoo which was drawn by my best friend which I thought was really amazing. Sometimes artists change things up to make it fit nicer but this was exactly as drawn which I really appreciated. The tattoo took a little longer than expected but that was my own fault as my skin wasn't taking the ink very well and it was on my ribs and I was kinda twitchy! Even through all of that, my artist was able to perfectly represent my tattoo on my body. I could not have been happier. It was exactly as it appeared on the paper I showed her and the line were nice and dark and neat. Not only was the tattoo and experience amazing, but the fact that they offer free first touch ups at their shop is SOOOO helpful. I know when I need to I'll be back for the touch up. They are a great shop and I highly recommend going there if you are ever in Bozeman and wanting a tattoo! read more

Element Tattoo - My mountain range tattoo done at Element! - Tattoo Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Some people impulse shop. Me? I impulse pierce. I had been vaguely considering re-piercing the side of my lip on and off for a couple weeks without any real commitment behind it. Then on a whim while headed somewhere else I decided I really wanted to do it. More so, I decided one would be so lonely so I was going to do a double side lip (spider bites not snake bites). The girl who initially greeted me at the desk (one of the tattoo artists) was very warm and friendly. Steven, the piercer, was fantastic. He has a very calm, quiet demeanor which I really liked. Even though I've been pierced before (which was clear from the scar from my previous lip piercing) he made sure I understood every step of the process before it happened. I also really appreciated his calm during the actual piercing because my pain tolerance isn't quite what it used to be and so there was just a touch more pinch and sting than I was prepared for. He reassured me I was a badass several times which made me inwardly grin (but not outwardly because he had a needle in my lip, people!). He even entertained my questions about whether or not there were any technique advances on surface piercings so I could re-do my clavicle and tested to see if my old lip piercing could be stretched back out rather than pierced. Overall this was a super comfortable experience on par with, or surpassing, the experiences I've had at Mom's Body Shop & Body Manipulations in San Francisco. I may have the piercing bug back now and I'll definitely be going to Steven to poke me with needles whenever the mood strikes me in the future. Also, how awesome is it that basic jewelry is included in the cost of the piercing? That was such a great surprise, especially after deciding on the fly that I wanted to go for the double piercing. Seriously, if you want to put metal in your body go talk to Steven! read more

My husband got a wedding band tattoo here on our anniversary. It was the first time either of us have even been in a tattoo shop, and now we're looking for reasons to go back! Ha! The shop is clean, fun, and welcoming. I'll second the "great music" comment, as well. Great conversation. My husband's tattoo is perfect. Couldn't be happier with our experience! read more

I am so thankful to Steve who did my daughter's ear piercing the right way. She had them previously pierced at Claire's this summer, the ear swallowed up the earrings and she had to have a Dr. surgically remove them which was very painful. Then the holes closed up. I am so glad I called Element to get them redone. Steve is so knowledgeable. I highly recommend! read more

Element is great, I was able to talk with Megan to get my tattoo in the exact style/size I was hoping for. She was more than helpful during the whole process, and did a great job. The price was very reasonable as well, definitely less than I expected to pay for the quality job. Everyone was helpful and friendly and I'll definitely be back! read more

Got my cartilage pierced here about a week ago. The lady that did the piercing was kind and helpful and everything was sterile and in great condition. Best place I've gotten a piercing from yet!! read more

I came here to get my nipples pierced. The experience was nice, they did a good job distracting me during the process, however one of the piercings was put through my areola on one side of the bar. I went in to ask them about it and they told me it was fine and they weren't gonna do anything about it. Now it's permanently visibly messed up, I had to pay almost double what I could've gotten at another shop around town and I'm very disappointed in the job they did. read more

I've been to Element at least twice now and each experience was worse than the last. Both of the women there were SO rude. I don't even care that one of their kids was running around the store because their rudeness stole the show. My septum piercing was crooked and she had to repierce my nostril twice in one sitting. I was also told I couldn't use a hoop/ring in my nostril even though when I came back to get my septum pierced months later, my male friend who was getting his nostril pierced was offered a ring right off the bat. Never going back and I'm writing this review to hopefully save others from having a similar experience to mine. read more

I have been here twice now, once today and once in October 2017. Great experiences both times; would recommend, I will continue to come here for all piercings. I got my helix done, and also tagged along when my boyfriend got his lobes pierced. Keep up the great work! read more

Was coming to Bozeman for a day of shopping and spontaneously decided to get my ears pierced. My friend and I called and made an appointment that fit our schedule and they got us in! Steve did an awesome job at explaining everything that was happening and letting us know how to take care of the piercings afterwards. Thank you and we will come back! :) read more

I've been here a couple times, most recently to get my nipples pierced. The staff is very courteous, knowledgeable and experienced. The level of professionalism is fantastic. The actual process of getting pierced was so quick that I was really impressed! Highly recommended. read more

I recently got my belly button pierced at element tattoo. A couple of weeks later it had gotten infected due to the lady piercing it wrong. It was also a very painful piercing and belly button piercings are not so posed to be painful. I had to go to the doctors and they had to cut me open to get the infection and jewlery out. Do not go here! read more

Amazing place! Never been there until Saturday and it was a welcoming environment. I hit my nose pierced in just minutes and it was so fast and easy. Recommend this place for a piercing. Sanitary too!! read more

My daughter and I walked in to schedule an appointment for a tattoo and the lady up front was so rude. I never experienced such a rude person before like that. I'll never go there! Sacred Image is a much better place! read more
