BOISE • TATTOOS & PIERCING
Six award-winning artists. Custom designs. Walk-ins welcome.
Free consultations. Family-owned. Priced by the piece.
Tell us your idea and we’ll match you with the right artist.
We’re a family-run studio that treats every client like one of our own. You’ll get honest guidance, clear pricing, and a friendly, judgment-free space.
Our six artists are award-winning specialists in different styles, from bold traditional to fine line realism. Every piece is drawn custom for you.
Ask questions, explore ideas, and take your time. Consultations are always free and there’s never any push to book before you’re ready.

Specialties: Bold American traditional, Neo-traditional color, script & custom lettering
Dave’s the anchor of the shop—big energy, bigger color palettes. He’ll walk you through every step so your first (or fiftieth) tattoo feels dialed-in and deliberate.

Specialties: Fine-line florals, delicate black & grey, ornamental and feminine designs
Mariah is all about detail and comfort—perfect for first-timers, meaningful micro tattoos, and soft, flowing pieces that age gracefully.

Specialties: Blackwork, geometric, modern linework and pattern-heavy pieces
Clean, precise, and modern—Colten’s your go-to for crisp shapes, symmetry, and tattoos that look like they were plotted with a ruler (in the best way).
Each artist brings a distinct style, steady hand, and serious dedication to the craft.
Not sure which artist is the right fit? Tell us what you’re thinking—style, placement, budget, and we’ll match you with the perfect artist for your piece.
Tell us who you’d like to work with (or let us recommend someone), what you’re planning, and the best time to reach you.
