I don't even know where to begin to express my gratitude for Kailah Bartolome at Black Opal Tattoo…read moreStudio!! I am absolutely obsessed with my tattoo!!! It's exactly what I envisioned and more! It's beautiful! It's timeless! It's a masterpiece! As someone who has wanted a partial sleeve for awhile and a resident of San Diego, finding an artist who could embody what I envisioned was extremely important to me. Kailah was exactly the artist I had been looking for- I'm so glad I made the trek. From the moment I made the decision to get a tattoo with her, the process was streamlined, professional, and individualized. Kailah was very collaborative with me while planning the piece of art. I valued her professional recommendations, while she supported my vision. Black Opal was located across from the Deschutes River in Bend, which I found super cool and grounding before entering the building. The studio was super clean and decorated incredibly- modern, vibrant, and classy. I felt so comfortable there, and not going to lie, I felt like a total BA. While getting the tattoo, Kailah was able to meticulously ink (Check out the shading on my tatt- so good), while also keeping great conversation with me. We laughed and solved the world's problems, which definitely took my mind off of the pain. Her support team and colleagues were wonderful too! I left Black Opal feeling more than a client, a long time friend! If you are interested in getting more than a tattoo, a tattoo experience, then, Kailah Bartolome at Black Opal is the way to go. P.s. She's a female artist in a male-dominated industry, and owns her own studio. Talk about a boss... AMAZING! Thanks again Kailah~ Jaclyn

I waited 2 years to be tattooed by Kailah and I was NOT disappointed. She has a very light touch in…read moreher tattooing. And to say she has mad skills is an understatement. I'm absolutely in LOVE with my tattoo. It's not JUST BEAUTIFUL but it's everything I wanted. It is big but took us just under two hours. She is as fast as she is talented. I have no bad things to say whatsoever except that I wish I could have done it sooner! I will totally be back for more work though. I stayed for a second tattoo as Aaron Borden was able to fit me in and hook me up with a super special tattoo as well. I really liked him as well. The staff is super friendly, professional. And it's clean but cozy and comfortable in here. Definitely not that sterile smell but it feels like a place to hang out. They make sure you're as comfortable as possible while you're getting tattooed and I feel like they are definitely amazing in the quality of tattoo for what you pay here. Great work. Great place. All the happy feels from me. Don't ponder. Just book a session today!!

I've been following Christine's work for years (from makeup and then to her micro blading work). I…read moreknew that when I was ready, I would be calling her for micro blading services. I booked her service in December and she had a whole list of things to do before the appointment like staying away from alcohol and caffeine to avoid extra bleeding during the appointment. I have the lowest pain tolerance and Christine was so patient, gentle, and understanding. She made fun, lighthearted conversation with me to keep me relaxed. I loved that she went over the after care instructions with me twice so I knew exactly what to do after the appointment. My brows look very natural and I still look like myself! So happy with everything!

The time flew by, and I left with a beautiful memorial tattoo honoring my daughter. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Brogan!

No one I know will do that, but she did. This was our last night in Oregon and it was my first tattoo I was nervous. Once we started talking she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Tiffany's work is incredible, check her out. I 100% love my tattoo, perfect lines, and the writing is spot on. The tattoo was exactly what I desired. Looking forward to my next trip to Oregon and booking another appointment with Tiffany.

The shop is small but clean. I had found him when looking for local artists and his Instagram had great pics. It said he could do floral art and some of the pics showed that too. That sealed the deal for me as I am obsessed with floral everything! He did a great job, on a fairly detailed piece and it is my favorite tattoo to date! I'll be back next time I'm in Bend for sure!

Showed up from a 45 min drive to be turned away and told they are keeping our deposit- wouldn't let us reschedule for any other time Girl said her boss which I'm assuming is "Jamie" told her no after the fact and we are just ass out. Terrible business practices. Hope yall are closed down tbh. I buy jewelry often and are always getting body mods. I've never seen a shop ran like this and I'll NEVER recommend this place to anyone due to her just being a thief.

An update on the piercings- a month after I got the conch and upper lobes done, I got 4 piercings…read moredone elsewhere. I had a daith, double helix and 2nd lobe (other ear). The newer piercings are now closing in on two months of healing and I have had ZERO issues with the piercings done at the other studio. The starfire ones? STILL GET INFECTED or at minimum irritation bumps, and they're on the same ear as the newer double helix. This gives me further proof that my aftercare is fine, it's the piercings. Don't go here. Just drive the 30 minutes and save yourself months of oozing piercings.
