Walked in and was greeted immediately and was handed off to Brian. I didn't make his job easy with my vision, but he was patient and took my idea and made it even better.

Everywhere you looked there was something odd or interesting to fill the void while waiting. Highly recommend visiting the bathroom. IYKYK!

I was really excited to get a helix piercing for my birthday, but unfortunately the experience…read moredidn't turn out well. After visiting multiple piercing studios to buy jewelry, I learned from three different piercers that my helix was placed incorrectly and that using a ring in a fresh helix piercing is considered high‑risk d ue to the likelihood of rejection, bumps, and tearing. All of them recommended removing it, letting it heal, and starting over with a stud. It was frustrating and disappointing, especially after confirming the information myself online, because I trusted that going to a tattoo shop meant I'd get a safe, properly placed piercing. The cost was also significantly higher than other studios, which made the situation even more discouraging. When I called the tattoo shop to talk about it, the conversation with the piercer felt dismissive. I was essentially told the issue was due to me not giving enough information, and that they had pierced "thousands of ears" this way. I did agree to the front placement, but I assumed the piercing would go straight through the cartilage, not at an angle through softer tissue. I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience left me genuinely unhappy and I wouldn't recommend this location for piercings.

I first started getting tattooed by Jon almost 15 years ago. Since that time, he has expanded his…read moreteam to be one of the most professional, and dedicated to the profession within the Treasure Valley. Not only is their studio a clean, welcoming, and sterile environment, I can trust that all of the artists will do amazing work with clean lines and a light hand. After having trusted Jon with my head years ago, Weston took care of my sideburns today, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The fact that I would trust this shop to work on my head should speak enough volume to their quality of work. If you are in downtown Boise and looking for great tattoo artists, give them a call and schedule your appointment, you won't regret it.

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!

This is one of my new favorite places. After reading reviews online to find a place to get my first…read moretattoo, this spot stood out above the rest, by a long shot. I was a little nervous, not sure how to make an appointment, cost, the process but I told myself, if I walk in and I am welcomed with open arms and they don't giggle at me for having zero tattoos, I would do it. Kolby and group greeted me openly, I asked my newby questions, and poof, appointment on the books (with a deposit). Now I seriously want to come here everyday and get new ink, I am not kidding, I have to hold myself back. I appreciate how clean and fun this place is and they are extremely talented, kind of what you want in tattoo artists. Kolby has rocked my experiences/tattoos off the chart and both times walking me through his process as I needed. He is an excellent support with his positive and funny banter and thoughtfulness (getting me his coat to cover up since my tattoos have been on my rib cage/chest area). He is also an excellent artist, I lucked out on this find. I seriously don't have enough positive words to share that can showcase the amazing experiences and high quality of work. Let me say this to all the non-tattooed people that want to be tattooed but are scared, like I was, do it here! Just go. You will be smiling from ear-to-ear that you finally did it.... And then you too can battle the urge, like I do, to come here everyday to hang out with fun people and get new ink. (Tattooed people too, come here, duh!)

I couldn't believe how readily available he was and how much he wanted to help. As soon as you walk in to his shop you could feel how clean and organized it was. Simon was so easy going and easy to talk to. His artwork displayed around the shop is incredible so we knew we were in good hands. My sister and I were thrilled with our final result.

THE ONLY PLACE IN BOISE TO GET YOUR PIERCINGS. Sam is knowledgeable, patient, flexible, and kind…read more Truly, stop your search and go here. I made the mistake of going elsewhere for my nose (nostril) piercing in November 2021. I developed a bump that wouldn't go away for MONTHS. I went back to the place I got the piercing multiple times for help, and little did I know the recommendations they were giving me were harmful to my skin. Fast forward to March 2022 -- I go to my doctor because I'm so discouraged, and we realized that the material of the piercing was NOT implant grade, and therefore has nickel and is an irritant to most skin types (like why would you even offer this?!). AND it was a corkscrew piercing which is just painful (I didn't know any better!!). I went to Sam based on reviews, and she gave me hope that I could keep my nose piercing. She helped me pick a piercing that I could customize, explained the science and reasoning behind piercing care, and was kind enough to give me her card to text any additional questions and to come back in. Now, two weeks later my bump is almost entirely gone and I love my new piercing so much! I have major regrets that I didn't go to Sam in the first place - it would have saved me so money and prevented so much anxiety and stress.

From the moment we sat in her chair my daughter was put at ease and had everything explained to her not to me, this made a huge difference!

She got to choose the color of her stone and metal color and even got to see Sam change it to the color she wanted. She's a gem!
