Have been in and out of Tribal Rites over the last 20 years. This is the only place i would personally go to get piercings done in Fort Collins. The staff is knowledgable, and they make you feel comfortable even if you are feeling any level of distress. The building is clean. There are many choices for jewelry and the prices are fair. Over the years - i have taken my son there to get his ears pierced. For myself, i have had my tongue pierced a couple of different times and my nose pierced a few different times. Different phases of life and taking piercings in and out is why the several times. I went to another place in town one time for a belly button piercing and ended up with a massive infection. That was the only time i dealt with infection from piercings and it was pretty horrible. I have never had that issue with any of my Tribal Rites piercings. All of my experiences have been positive there and if i decide to go back in the future to get my nose once again re-pierced it will be there! read more

Tribal Rites - Tattoo Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

When I first walked in, the staff greeted me and were all very kind. I had my eyebrow pierced by Ashley, and she was amazing! We bonded really well, and the piercing only took about 15 minutes. She guided me through choosing the angle I wanted for the eyebrow piercing and was very knowledgeable about aftercare. The pricing was fair, around $75. I highly recommend Tribal Rites and hope to return! read more

Best shop in town. My friends and I have been pierced at Tribal Rites multiple times and it's always an amazing experience, Ashley is the sweetest soul ever and I highly recommend her. The front desk is so kind and helpful, and everything is such great quality. read more

I came here about two years about to get my nose pierced and had a great experience! It was $100 to get a basic sterling silver ring pierced in my nostril. That included the price of the jewelry and the piercing. I walked in without an appointment and was seen quickly! read more

This is the best tattoo shop I have ever seen! People are super friendly, and they are talented beyond belief. I just had one done by Laura, and I would recommend her to anyone. I had her do a full custom black and gray memorial tattoo, and when she showed me the design she came up with I teared up. She's also super personal and fun. I spent almost 5 hours with her and unlike other places I've been I loved the process and the conversation. When I'm ready for the next one, she will be my first call. She's SUPER booked, but trust me it's worth the wait. read more

One of the BEST piercing places i've been to!! I've gotten snake bites and 4 dermals while visiting Colorado. i highly recommend this place. they have so many options to choose from. I had two different piercers, i forgot one of their names but ashley who did my dermals was AMAZING. They took plenty of time helping me choose the perfect placement and was wonderful. Would love to come back. read more

Would not advise getting pierced here! I have several piercings- including some very sensitive areas. And never once have I had the amount of swelling I had when I got my nose pierced (my third nostril piercing) as when I did here. Some swelling- yes. Completely normal. But the problem was that she pierced me with jewelry that was way too short to allow for that swelling. Within 24 hours my nose swelled all the way up the bridge and the jewelry was imbedded and it hurt so bad I couldn't even yawn or move my face. Took the jewelry out and switched it to allow the swelling, and immediately felt relief. Any experienced piercer should know better than to place short jewelry on a freshly done piercing! Like I said, I have several and recognized the issue quickly, but this could cause severe damage and trauma for someone. Side note- my sister got her naval down at the same time here- and hers is bruised badly and jewelry also barely able to accommodate the swelling. read more

Been going for 10 years now, love the piercers, will do you right and have great products to clean and jewelry

This is the correct tribal rites. It's the only tribal rites. I got my anti-eyebrow here and a week later my top decided to come loose and they were so amazing they got that little sucker back on there, the nice lady even remembered me, I'm so bad with names or I would give her this review personally. But this is definitely the location. they have always been so patient with me. And I'm a very picky anxious hard to deal with human. and they are more than accommodating read more

Great experience with my septum piercing!! I'm from the Buffalo, NY area and was visiting family in Fort Collins, when I last minute decided to get my septum pierced. Tribal Rites got me in the same day, and it was fast and easy. The piercer was very informative and helpful. read more

Superb jewelry. The most variety of quality and unique pieces I've seen for nose rings in-store. Along with helping me stick to my budget, they fit me in for a same-day nose piercing on a weekend! read more

They are always fast friendly and very helpful I have literally got everything I have pierced done by them. Love this place.

I love this place. I've consistently come to Tribal Rites for my piercings after my first good experience getting three piercings on my lobes. I then came back for a nose piercing, and even after moving to Denver I still come back. I made the trip up yesterday for a septum piercing and I can't believe how simple it was. It lasted maybe five minutes and hurt about as much as a little bee sting. I'm still shocked at how little it hurt. I forget the piercers name, but they were tall and slim with tattoos everywhere and brown hair -- they were amazing!!! If you're coming from out of town they recommend scheduling an appointment because they definitely do stay busy! All in all, I'm very happy with my many experiences with this place! read more

Tribal Rites - New septum piercing! - Tattoo Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Friendly service. Sanitary and health-conscious environment. Knowledgeable and skilled artists. It's top notch and the only place I will go in the area. I'm in Wyoming and it's worth the drive. read more

Horrible customer service. I've never had a front desk person be so blatantly rude and horrible. Julia I believe was her name and wouldn't even let me finish my question and she simply said no in the most disrespectful tone. Will tell everyone to steer clear of this place as I see others have similar issues. Go to Solona Tattoo company instead to feel welcome and helped there. read more

I've had a couple piercings done by Kieyla recently as well as visited the shop multiple times for new jewelry & placement of retainers prior to a surgery, and always had great experiences. All of the staff is super friendly, helpful, and welcoming, and they clearly have plenty of practices in place to provide a safe experience (pre- and post-pandemic). Currently, they are running appointment only for piercings, require masks the whole time, check your temperature and have you use sanitizer when coming in, and have a waiver for COVID as well. All staff was wearing masks and gloves and customers cannot touch jewelry options. I felt very safe coming here! Kieyla is super sweet and has done a great job with my piercings and is especially good with talking you through what's happening if you're a bit nervous. Definitely recommend! read more

I went in today to get new earrings. Let me tell you, super sweet staff. Jess helped me pick out some gorgeous earrings. Then the piercer (didn't catch her name) was asking me questions about myself and was a very good listener. I am not confident about my ears but she made me feel so pretty. Then they asked if they could get a picture. The photographer was also super sweet. Overall a wonderful experience. I walked away feeling special and happy. read more

I had my nose pierced years ago and have recently been wanting to get it re-pierced. On a random Wednesday, feeling slightly impulsive and a little nostalgic, I called Tribal Rites to see if they had an appointment available. They told me they were fully booked but that I could try my luck with a walk-in appointment. After trying two other locations unsuccessfully, and as a local, knowing that TR is the place to go, I decided ultimately to show up and see if they could fit me in. My gamble paid off! I chose my jewelry - some really beautiful options - for both my nose piercing and to replace the tragus jewelry I had recently lost. Everything was very bright and clean. All employees were masked and gloved. The appointment was quick and friendly. It's definitely not cheap but this isn't one of those things you should cheap out on, you know? I think I spent $110 for the piercing and two pieces of jewelry, plus tip. I wish I could remember the name of the piercing artist, but my brain isn't built like that after a couple of kids. Overall, I'd say Tribal Rites stands up to its tried and true reputation of the best in Fort Collins, overall a great experience! read more

Tribal Rites - Nose (re)piercing. Love it! - Tattoo Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I have been in MANY piercing and tattoo shops from California to Colorado to Delaware and back; Tribal Rights in Fort Collins is by far the most interesting and well stocked shop I've been in yet! Immediately upon walking in the vibe was light and professional and the music was good! Not the typical death metal you often hear. The women were so helpful and my piercer, Lauren, went the EXTRA mile for me! I have never had a shop allow me to try the jewelry on and move it around before purchase!!! We had so much fun! I have a double nose piercing on same side and over the years I have learned that not all jewelry looks good IN my nose no matter how pretty and high end. Lauren actually picked out some other pieces after the first two weren't what I was looking for and didn't fit the way I wanted. She took her time and truly focused on ME! Which is great and refreshing in this fast paced 'next' kinda world! I will definitely come back! Well worth the 45min drive! read more

I came here to get my first tattoo and had the most amazing experience. When I walked in, I could immediately see that the place was super clean and professional. I didn't have an appointment l, but I asked if there were walk ins available today. I showed the woman behind the counter what I wanted, and she said she would go see if anyone was available. The guy who ended up doing my tattoo was named Michael. He was super nice, and worked with me on what I wanted because it would have been difficult in the location I originally wanted it. While he set up, I noticed that he was wearing gloves and taking new needles out. Very hygienic. I mentioned it was my first tattoo, and so he was really nice the whole time because I had a lot of questions. He went slow at first so I could be accustomed to how it felt. My tattoo was very tiny, so it didn't take that long but he made sure to ask if I was happy with it and double checked his work before he was done. He also allowed me to bring my friend back with me so I could hold her hand during. Overall, my experience with tribal rites was amazing. If you're trying to chose a place in the foco area to get a tattoo, go here! It's also a really short walk from campus if you're a CSU student. read more

So happy I was referred to this place! I just moved here and needed new septum jewelry BAD! I came in and they fit it to exactly how I wanted it. I have never been so happy with my piercing until now and I feel way more confident. read more

Tribal Rites is easily the best piercing shop in FoCo. I've had my lobes pierced (and they've helped me stretch them!), bridge, and vertical labret done by them and every time it was a great experience. Staff have always been super nice and they know their stuff (they always take the time to make sure you know proper care). Jewelry is all high quality stuff and it's beautiful! It's a "pricy" shop, but any place worth their salt will cost more. If you're looking for a place with nice, extremely knowledge piercers with stellar quality jewelry, come here. read more

ive gotten two piercings here with mo and shes awesome. it never hurt to bad, mo was always honest, never to rough and she always has a smile. i love both of my piercings i got here! and they healed beautifully ( my septum and right nose piercing) read more

The best piercing experience I've had so far! I was a walk-in for second lobe piercings on a Saturday afternoon. My first impressions of the place were that it was clean, bright, and full of character! Everyone (customers and employees alike) was masked, and the jewelry counter was lined with plexiglass dividers. The shop was busy, but the people at the counter were super attentive and kind. The person helping me pick out my piercing jewelry was endlessly patient with me as I deliberated, showing me piece after piece and helping me pick items that were within my price range but also the materials I wanted -- I went with two teeeeeeny tiny 14k gold studs of a star and a crescent moon. They let me take my time and didn't push me out of my budget. You'll pay within the $30-$40 range for the actual lobe piercing service, and then pay for the jewelry as well as the backings. Add in a good tip (seriously, please tip well!) and the aftercare soap/spray, and it's definitely a pretty penny but very much worth it. I took maybe 15 minutes to pick my jewelry, and then sat in the waiting room downstairs. After maybe another 15 minutes, I was shown into a room where Chad got me settled. My earlobes are slightly crooked (one hangs a bit lower than the other), and he was great about picking locations that were visually even without looking like we'd overcompensated for the difference in lobes. He explained every step of the way, chatted with me about Fort Collins as I've just moved here and am still getting to know the town, and checked in on how I was feeling throughout the piercing process. I felt calm and at ease. That was yesterday - my piercings bled a little overnight but that's pretty par for the course for me. I didn't experience any piercing pain while sleeping, which was a first! The soap and spray they sold me have been helping immensely, and I'm so excited to see how my piercings heal. read more

I've been to Tribal Rites twice now and gotten three different piercings (cartilage, nipples, and daith). The piercers are incredibly welcoming and ease any nerves you might have prior to the piercing process. They give clear aftercare instructions and even provide their preferred piercing soap and saline solution. Tribal Rites is definitely my go-to piercing spot in Fort Collins!! read more

I have been coming to Tribal for years. I can't recommend them enough! I recently went in for some ear piercings and I was so impressed with their COVID procedures. As always, everyone was welcoming, knowledgeable, and so kind. read more

I visited this lovely establishment after hearing great things about it I have been wanting to get my Bindi piercing (third eye) for a while and yesterday I finally booked me an appointment they had stuff available for later that day. Everyone I spoke with was very kind and professional and when I got downstairs to get my piercing done I had questions to ask my piercer who's name was Hayley. She was friggin amazing broke everything down for me explained the couple of options I had and overall gave me exactly what I wanted. Honestly this was the most painless piercing I've received thus far I totally recommend this place but I highly recommend madam Hayley she made me look bomb I walked out there feeling like a new me. Don't get me started on the gorgeous jewelry they have just check it out for yourself you're going to love this place. I'm totally coming back for some ink next time if you want a professional setting with bomb ass women all around check it out! One love . read more

Totally got my nipples pierced on a whim today. I had been thinking about it for many months and finally summoned the courage to just go for it! I have tattoos and have had several other body piercings, however something about the nipples really scared me. I was nervous as hell. I decided to go to the shop and just ask some questions about the process, pricing, etc.. Ashley was the sweetest, friendliest, most supportive and caring person! She talked me through the whole process and was sympathetic about me being nervous/scared. After a walk around the block, I decided to come back and go for it. I was going to get just one (partially because I was scared about the pain) but she talked me into doing both and reassured me. Again, Ashley was so professional and did such an awesome job! The piercings look so good (instant sexy). I would post a pic but that would involve my bare tits being posted on Yelp (which I don't believe is allowed). I am so thankful I went to Tribal Rites and highly recommend Ashley. Also, the pain was honestly not too bad. Go for it guys! You could die tomorrow... read more

My daughter and I recently got tattoos with Katherine Smith at Tribal Rites. The entire experience was great. Right when you walk in the door, the first thing you notice is that Tribal Rites is spotless and well lit. The main floor is where you check in and they sell body jewelry. The jewelry displays definitely have a nice jewelry store vibe. The attention to detail in the way the store is displayed, lit, and managed immediately made me feel like we were in the right place to get our first tattoos. We met with Katherine for our consultation and were lucky enough that she had one opening about a month later where she could work us in rather than her normal 2-3 month wait. She helped us with our designs giving us her professional opinion and coming up with the perfect size and locations for our tattoos. We were both getting two small tattoos but they were special to us and she made them perfect. While our tattoos were small and pretty simplistic, her other work we saw was beautiful. If we decide to get another tattoo, we will definitely go back to Tribal Rites and Katherine. read more

Large and beautiful collection of jewelry to choose from. I've had a few piercings done here and numerous jewelry changes and have always been happy with how things have turned out! The space is clean and inviting and the staff at the counter are incredibly kind and patient as I've taken time to be intentional about what I'm selecting. There is so much to look through and they are thoughtful and informative with helping to find things that will work with anatomy and my style preferences. read more

Highly recommend Tribal Rites!!! Love them. Cant wait to go back. My piercing look amazing and have healed beautifully. You guys rock

LOOOVE this place! I went in nervous (also excited) on my 31st Birthday to get my nose pierced- it's my first non ear piercing- and not only was the experience really pleasant, but they are very knowledgeable about their products and Ashley is VERY skilled at what she does. I barely felt the stud go in! They also gave me a discount because it was my birthday, thank you all sooo much for making my experience so pleasant- I will definitely be coming back for all future piercing and tattoos and will highly recommend you! read more

I was pretty nervous for this piercing because I heard the tragus is one of the more painful cartilage piercings. I was not looking forward to the pop of the cartilage that this piercing is known to have. But right when I walked in the atmosphere was clean and relaxing it automatically calmed most of my nerves. All of the people were very nice and supportive. I had Kieyla pierce my tragus and she talked me through the whole thing. The pain was very low and I couldn't really hear the pop. The pain subsides very quickly and I can't even feel it 10 minutes after. It looks very good! :) read more

Great place! got my septum and my vertical labret pierced here and both times my piercers were so kind and so careful with placement highly highly recommend!!! Feminine energy in that biz is elite read more

I have 7 tattoos from 7 different artists and Christel Perkins is the BEST tattoo artist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I knew for the most part what I wanted, but was looking for an artist with incredible shade work and an artist who can also replicate pictures well. I went in to my first consultation with a lot of ideas and not a complete sense of how I wanted it to come together. Christel was great working with me and helped me prioritize what was most important to me. I gave her a picture of palm trees, a dock, and my grandfathers boat. She helped me piece together each photo into a beautiful scene in Marathon, Florida. The half sleeve itself took a total of 7 hours, 5 for the first session and 2 for the 2nd. Christel is very detail oriented and a quick worker. Happy to allow breaks for longer pieces. She does book out awhile, but if you are looking for a meaningful tattoo and are willing to wait, I highly recommend Christel. read more

I came here because they happen to carry my jewellery preferred brand (Neometal) and I'm glad I did! The shop is clean, their jewellery inventory was extensive and they put it in for me for no charge (although I did tip. Tip folks!) I will definitely come back here for further piercings. Hayley was courteous, professional and friendly. read more

i want to preface this by saying, i do not like it here and don't think i'll come back. i came in to get a navel piercing done, and it was so low, and super crooked- then when i went back, i was gaslit by two of their piercers, one being the one who pierced me originally. i walked out of there not wanting to argue, and went back the next few days and saw someone new. she noticed immediately and repierced me free of charge. she was so sweet. it then got incredibly swollen and i went back for a longer bar, and was told to go back the day the swelling went down, and so i did that: and they all were like "um... okay" and changed me out to a shorter bar. i kept saying that "if you think i need the longer bar, i'll keep it" and she was like "it should be fine" it wasn't and i ended up going some place else. i've been here 8 times for one piercing over the span of a month. not worth the hassle go somewhere else. (plus it was $160 for a crooked piercing) read more
