I got a tattoo here and it was absolutely spectacular! Jami was very compassionate about my memorial tattoo for my mom and understood that I have a very low tolerance for pain. She worked with me during the process, allowing me time to breathe and constantly checking on me to make sure I was doing okay. Overall, the shop is a wonderful environment and all the staff is very kind, knowledgeable, and understanding. I would highly recommend them to everyone!!! read more

I went to get my septum pierced by Lowell. This was my first piercing outside of Claire's and I was very nervous. Lowell talked me through the whole process and made it far less intimidating. I was able to watch him prepare all the necessary tools, so I personally got to see how clean and professional they are. It's been 1 week and my piercing doesn't hurt at all, and the wound spray they reccomend is excellent. Definitely recommend Lowell and his skills! read more

Got my 2nd lobe piercings done here. The piercer was friendly and answered all my questions. It was pretty quick and easy. It cost $60 and I'm not sure if the price is different for other types of piercings They only had 2 options for jewelry so that was a downside, but the ones I got seem like they're good quality. read more

I went in there to get my ears gauged after they had shrunk. The guy I saw is Lowell. My gauges were 00 on the left and 0 on the right. Instead of gauging out the one ear to match the other, Lowell pushed in one gauge of differing sizes and tried to force-sell me 2 pairs! I told him no and he said he was going to have to charge me a sanitation fee. I told him no and, as I was leaving, he said, "Yeah, you're gonna have to get out," as though he was trying to assert his will about something that was already happening. They are the only piercers in Helena. Do not expect good things. I should have known from the fact that Lowell is the only tattoo artist I have ever seen with copies of other tats. He has the Heath Ledger Joker on one arm, and it's not even good. It's deformed. He also has the script "Broken" above the eyebrow. Do not go here. read more

Have received several tattoos from Jami at Sindicate. Always friendly staff there. Have been very creative at taking my ideas and coming up with something that fits perfectly. Had limited interactions with other staff there but they have always been polite and friendly. read more

I can't speak to their tattoo or piercings themselves. But...this is a Terrible place for piercing jewelry. They do not stand by their overpriced jewelry. Do not go here. Service has something left to be desired too, lots of condescension. Previously I had a push-pin bar bell in my rook for over 5 YEARS. Never had a single problem with it, never fell out. I have 8 piercings so I'm no newbie by any means...out of all the shops I've been to, I have never been treated like this before. I had this shop change my piercing and the gem/push pin end of the bar bell fell out within a few days, after barely itching/touching my ear. When I called for help and asked for a replacement piece and for them to look if it was defective, I was snapped at quickly and Rudely, "No. No exchanges or refunds. That's it." When I explained that I have plenty experience with how to handle jewelry...it was made to be MY FAULT and that I touched my ear wrong or itched it too aggressively. Um what? No. Haha again I've had the other jewelry for FIVE YEARS...guaranteed I have itched my ear in the past. He then went on to tell me it was my fault because I hadn't done daily jewelry checks. Cool story bro. Thanks for nothing. I've since heard stories from many others saying that the staff, specifically one individual, was rude to them and they had terrible experiences too and would never go back. Go here at your own risk. I since have went to New Image Ink, and it's night and day of service. They were more than willing to help me out, had a good selection of jewelry, and guarantee their products. I was told if anything happened with this one, come back in and they would replace it or help me fix it. They stand by their service and their products....what a concept! Highly recommend new image for Jewelry and top notch service. Will never go back to tattoo syndicate. read more

Very clean professional atmosphere. Staff is great, excellent artists. I've gotten two wonderful tattoos here very nicely done and I couldn't be happier. If you are in the market for some ink or just need a hole to put jewelry in, stop down and see what they have to offer. You won't regret it. read more
