Couldn't have picked a better shop for my first tattoo... or should I say tattoos. Mom's is professional, welcoming, clean without feeling clinical, and has created a space where everyone is treated with respect. Their commitment to being an LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive space is obvious from the moment you walk in. That's exactly the kind of local business I want to support. Thanks to Watson (@lildocwatson) and the rest of the shop for making my first tattoo experience such a positive one. He has a rare ability to balance listening with artistic guidance. He asked thoughtful questions, built on my ideas with his expertise, and helped turn them into something even better than I'd imagined. He was also incredibly patient with all of my first-tattoo questions and anxiety. As people have noticed my fresh ink and asked about it, every time I mention Mom's, the response is something like, "I've heard such great things about them," or "That's where I get all my work done." After my experience, I completely understand why. I'll absolutely be back. Thanks for being awesome. read more

I went to Watson a few weeks ago with an idea to get my right upper arm done, we did from my elbow to shoulder and he killed it, he took my idea and made it his own and I couldn't be happier, I would highly recommend checking out his work to see if he would be a fit for you! read more

Got pierced by Zach, I'd give him ten stars if I could. He made the process feel super safe and comfortable especially since this was my first piercing!! I was super nervous but he explained everything great and that made me not nervous at all. Would definitely recommend! read more

She has very pleasant people there. They are very talented artist! I have been there and plan on going back! I rate them very highly!

Mom's tattoo in Kendall yards is a really good spot near downtown spokane. Anji has done a couple tats for me and my family members. This arm tattoo on my aunt is pretty rad. We love anji's work/ she's a creative genius and has a ton of experience at tattoos. I Would totally recommend you book with her! read more

I had tried calling multiple times with no return call, I used the chat option that was suggested & received an email reply hours later to book two appointments one for my 11 year old & one for myself. We wanted our ears pierced together. Should be simple. I received a call today by someone who was so thoroughly confused as to why I would book these appointments & asked what it is I wanted? As if it wasn't clear when I booked a minor ear piercing & an adult ear piercing? Not only that I was told they refused to pierce my daughter's ears that day & are refusing to refund me (i could only book my appointment if I paid in advance). They said they need to get to know my daughter & make sure she consents. Not only accusatory that I'm somehow forcing my middle schooler get her ears pierced but also creepy . I understand a quick run through of the process before the piercing but making us schedule a second appointment is absurd. The whole thing was odd to say the least & the person I spoke with didn't seem to understand a thing I said. My daughter is now upset as she has been looking forward to getting her ears pierced all week. read more

Have had good experiences here. Just got a permanent bracelet and ring. Love the bracelet! The ring I would not get again, fell off and lost it with the hour:( would not recommend the rings read more

first of all the vibes were positive, supportive, and welcoming!! Smelled clean, space was clean/picked up, great private rooms, fun decorations, good music, and the most accommodating kind staff! came in for a walk in quick replacement for jewelry after having taken it out for outside circumstances, they allowed us to come right back after signing the waivers and fixed everything. went to pay and they didn't want to add more to our hectic day letting us head on out without charging read more

Having lived in eight different states and having the experience of being pierced in seven of them, I consider myself quite the connoisseur when it comes to piercing studios. It's rare to find a place that stands out in every aspect of the experience, but Mom's Custom Tattoo and Body Piercing does just that. From the moment you walk in, the welcoming environment envelops you, making you feel both seen and safe. This is crucial for anyone about to undergo a procedure that is both personal and permanent. The cleanliness of the space immediately puts you at ease, assuring you that you are in professional hands that care about your health and safety. The quality of the jewelry at Mom's is undeniable. Yes, the prices might be on the higher end, but the fantastic quality justifies the expense. In the world of piercings, you truly get what you pay for, and Mom's ensures that what you're paying for is top-notch, safe, and stunning jewelry that complements your individual style and body. My healing experiences with piercings from Mom's have been nothing short of great. Healing is a crucial part of the piercing process, and the proper initial care, quality jewelry, and expert placement at Mom's have contributed to smooth and uncomplicated healing periods for me. The staff's commitment to creating a comfortable environment does not go unnoticed. Their professionalism and dedication to their craft not only ensure that you leave with a piercing you love but also with the knowledge and aftercare support necessary for a successful healing process. Zach is my go to and he is so patient. read more

Beth was awesome. She took her time to make sure the layout was right and truly felt as though this artwork was as important to her as it was to me. Her artistry and attention to detail surpassed what I had imagined and I couldn't be happier with the result. Thanks so much! read more

Friendly service from desk clerks, surgical grade integrity for piercing services. If you are considering any sort of piercing, I couldn't recommend Scout any more strongly. Last time I sought out a VCH I had to drive 300 miles to find someone I felt confident in and I still wasn't super at ease. Scout checked all the boxes on this! It's so Important to have a piercer that puts you at ease and who also has the skillset to help you make informed choices when seeking out a piercing designed for both form and function. read more

Scout and Zach did my seconds for me at the same time. I called to schedule the appointment for doing them at the same time because I am anxious about piercings. They were very accommodating and had a lot of patience explaining everything for me. The experience on the phone and in the shop was great. Everyone was super nice and helpful and answered all of my questions. Highly recommend them for piercings! The vibe of the shop is fun and relaxed(: read more

I was a tattoo artist off and on for over twenty years, so finding a new shop to get work from was challenging, as I'm VERY PICKY! Mom's is CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY, and chock full of TALENT! I had Natalie do my tattoo, and she is AMAZING! Her attention to detail was just CRAZY, I've never had such a light touch either, which of course, means I healed remarkably well. This shop, AND Natalie, checks every box for a dream shop, and I've definitely found my new tattoo and piercing home! read more

Mom's Custom Tattoo & Body Piercing - My new favorite tattoo! Natalie did this piece quickly, cleanly, and EXTREMELY PRECISE! This is right after the tattoo, almost no redness. - Piercing Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I am beyond impressed! The tattoo shop is gorgeous inside but better than that - Zach did an amazing job with my daughter's birthday piercing. He's kind, patient and just made it a great experience for my 16 year old. I can't recommend this place enough! Every one of the staff members were so friendly and helpful! read more

This place is expensive but high quality. They offer appointments however their shop always seems to be empty. I think this business loses opportunities to make money with an overly exclusive appearance. Seems like a reliable place to get a piercing if you're willing to call ahead and book . read more

One of the best experiences I have ever had. Helpful, knowledgeable, clean, friendly and open to all. I came here already having a prior nose piercing experience (not a good one). I was nervous going in and everyone made me feel at ease and taken care of while I was there. I ended up getting a double nose piercing and have had no issues since (5 months out). I cannot recommend Moms more. PS: The jewelry was a little pricy for the nicer stuff but I don't have any regrets spending the money for the great quality. read more

Customer service stinks and they don't honor appointments if you show up 3 minutes after your scheduled time.

Best piercing place in town!! Got my tragus done here a few months ago and it's the only place I'll go, moving forward, in Spokane for piercings. It's SO clean and they follow every single Covid protocol to a T. Dae has been my piercer and he is absolutely wonderful! So nice and personable. Thank you Dae!! :) read more

I heard about Mom's from a friend who had work done in the shop. I went in to take a look through the portfolios of the different artists there about a half hour before close. The front desk was friendly, and after seeing a lot of work I liked, I had a consultation and booked with Bonnie. The day of my appointment, I was welcomed walking in, and presented with an incredibly sanitary setup and a freshly wiped down chair waiting for me. The entire process went well, Bonnie answered the few questions I had, and she started. I came in with a pretty simple idea, and Bonnie really brought it to life! She isn't unnecessarily heavy handed while tattooing, which I appreciated. Very professional and friendly the entire time. When it was all said and done, I was left with a great looking tattoo. Plain and simple, I recommend checking out Mom's, and Bonnie in particular. She's great with traditional American style! The picture attached is the freshly done tattoo. read more

Had an amazing experience at Mom's Tattoo and Piercing in Spokane! Wrenn Grey was my tattoo artist and she was very helpful and willing to work with me to get the best art for what I wanted. She did a beautiful job on my tattoo and made me feel comfortable and heard. The shop is clean and inviting. Staff were super helpful when we walked in to check things out and find which artist fit what I needed and what my husband needed. Thanks Mom's! We will be back! read more

Amazing!!! I tell everyone I know to come here as this is by far the best tattoo and piercing shop in the area. All of the artists and piercers are awesome. Extremely clean shop with by far the best selection of jewelry and you really can't find better people than those that work here. I have had 12 piercings done between Shandra and Nathan and they both did excellent jobs. If only I hadn't run out places to pierce;-) Absolutely love them both. Additionally, my back was tattooed by the most phenomenal artist - Traci Manley. I can't even put into words how much I love my back piece, she just did the most wonderful job, it is so beautiful and she was so nice and fantastic to work with. I would love to have more work done by Traci for sure. Absolutely everyone in this shop is so nice and wonderful to work with and that's how they keep me going back again and again!!! read more

I went in for my consultation a while ago and met with Traci about my floral arm tattoo. I came in wit some examples and my basic idea of what I wanted. She was great to collaborate with. During the actual tattoo process she definitely took her time to ensure that the tattoo stencil fit just right on my arm. My session was over two hours and she made me feel very comfortable, despite drilling a needle into my arm :D the atmosphere was fun and the music was perfect. She even took it upon herself to correct a previous tattoo on my shoulder! this place is wonderful and I would highly recommend it. read more

I would recommend Mom's for piercings to anyone! There's definitely a lot of information you need to supply and it is on the more expensive side but you get what you pay for! They take many precautions for covid to keep both you and the staff safe which made me feel much more comfortable. Their jewelry is not only great quality but also beautiful with lots to choose from. Shandra made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process and it was relatively painless. Overall, all of the staff members were incredibly welcoming and friendly. It's been about two months since getting my nostril pierced and it's healed beautifully! Planning on returning in the future to get more piercings. read more

Loved my experience with Mom's Tattoo! Everyone was absolutely amazing. By far the nicest tattoo shop I have been in. Great area of town. The whole experience was outstanding. Wrenn hooked me up with three tattoos and they all look incredible. She is an excellent artist and a joy to talk to. I recommend Mom's Tattoo 100%!! I will be going back without a doubt. read more

I had a genital piercing done and the whole process made me feel safe, clean and comfortable. Great staff, pricing and jewelry options. I really like their Neil Med saline piercing spray, which they recommended. It's great for cleaning your piercing without bothering it. Go to this place. read more

I've been both tattooed and pierced here . I highly recommend them !!! Most recently I had my daith pierced with Dae . Where I can't say it was painless, it was a great experience. From their boutique style , choosing jewelry ( which they have a great selection of) , to the sterilization process of your new metal , they really have it all . Also, they are taking Covid measures very seriously:) read more

Just went in and got my nipples pierced. I was extremely nervous knowing it would hurt or so I was told. Dae was my piercer and he was awesome! Was knowledgeable, very patient, efficient and super professional. Made what could have been a horrible experience an excellent one! Definitely recommend Dae and Mom's. read more

When I went in it was for three cartilage piercings. Two are still in but one got really infected and grew a bump behind it so I had to take it out. It healed upon removing the jewelry. The customer service was not the best. I had my daughter with me who was very little at the time (4 years old) and the piercer and front desk girls were not super friendly to her or me sadly. Kinda made us feel unwelcome. My daughter asked to watch and the piercer said no to her. Made her so sad. I've had piercings before at bullet proof, and silver safari and they always let someone be with you. Thought it was weird. (This was pre-covid I've just taken forever to review). Hope its gotten better. read more

Was not very happy with them. My husband and I walked in to get matching tattoos and they said they only had time for one. The tattoos that we wanted were simple it was our zodiac sign together. Luckily we found a place call, Lady Ink Tattoo. They where great and friendly. read more

Anji did an amazing job with my tattoo. So glad for the work she did in such a nice, clean, and friendly studio. This was my first tattoo and she did a great job explaining any questions I had and walking me through the process. Thank you Mom's and Anji ! read more

I love that they waited on me right away and discussed my ideas before introducing my artist Denise all the way from Oregon, who was AMAZING!!! Well done ladies! Happy Holidays!! Looking forward to visit again!! read more

I just got my rook done by Dae on Sunday and I couldn't be more pleased with the piercing itself and the experience as a whole! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Dae was so professional and kind. He walked me through every step of the process and was so knowledgeable on piercings. My rook is healing so well, there is no pain and swelling has gone down almost completely! I will be going here for all of my next piercings!! read more

For more than a decade I've been contemplating a back piece. I've seen a lot of artists and been to a lot of shops but nothing ever resonated with me. In November I stumbled upon Mom's after reading more tattoo shop reviews than I care to admit. I decided to pop on in without an appointment to thumb through portfolios and check out the space. It's quite beautiful, a cross between art gallery and tattoo shop. After a chance meeting with Bonnie, I knew this was the artist and place I had been hoping to find for so long. Mom's is squeaky clean. The staff are friendly, professional and always willing to help make things more comfortable. Additionally, I can't say enough good things about Bonnie. Not only is she an amazingly talented artist, she is the type of woman that leaves me feeling more empowered and beautiful after every appointment. As a person that's working on having a whole damn back tattoo, I spend a little more time here than the average bear. I have had some level of exposure to nearly every artist in the shop, excluding piercers (I've not seen them much), and I would, without question, work with all of them. The talent, professionalism and care from this shop is above reproach. read more

TATTOOS: I watched my husband get a half sleeve done by Bonnie and it finally gave me the courage to start my own half sleeve. We both have smaller pieces done by Bonnie but I didn't know if I was ready for the commitment to a big piece. My husband's half sleeve is absolutely gorgeous. Bonnie's line work and color work is incredible. I knew that I would be in good hands! I'm notoriously indecisive and Bonnie was so patient with me while I was trying to figure out what I really, truly wanted. She designed an incredible half sleeve for me and although it's still a work in progress, I could not love it more. It's exactly what I envisioned and she is so talented at what she does! She has a calming presence and makes it easy to sit in her chair. I cannot wait to see the finished result! PIERCINGS: I decided to check out Mom's to get my ears stretched a couple summers ago. Shandra was super thorough with everything. Jewelry, cleaning, aftercare- the entire process! I felt really comfortable and was able to ask any questions without feeling uncomfortable. Fast forward about a year and a half and a couple stretches later. Shandra was patient and always so helpful when I decided to go up a size! Last fall I wanted to change up my nostril piercing jewelry. Alexa and Shandra helped me pick a beautiful new piece. Shandra, as always, was super thorough and meticulous with the entire process, even though it was just a jewelry change! In January I decided to get my triple forward helix pierced. Alexa helped me pick out jewelry and she did a great job of explaining the pros and cons of different pieces. Frankie did my piercing this time and I could not be more pleased. He looked at the anatomy of my ear to determine whether or not it would even fit and/or look okay. He talked me through the entire process and was super friendly. I was anticipating it to be painful but Frankie really put me at ease and the whole thing went really well. I love this piercing and how awesome the piercers are in this shop! Overall, I highly recommend this shop. It is incredibly clean and professional. Beth (the owner) runs a solid business with some of the most talented artists in town. Everyone is knowledgeable, attentive and friendly! read more

Please be advised not to pay ahead in full. I paid $450 up front for a tattoo, which was accepted without informing me they they intended to move. We did manage to schedule an appointment before the move date, only for me to drive 45 minutes for the appointment to be told their printer failed and have to turn around and drive 45 minutes back home. I asked for my credit to be transferred to my brother, and I was offered a refund and told to think about it. My mom passed 3 days later and I have spent the last 2 months grieving and planning a funeral that was just held last weekend due to her passing in AZ and being buried in OR and time for the headstone to be created. I reached out 3 weeks ago asking for my refund and got no response and am now being told that it is not going to be honored, but they are still willing to hold it for me (they now live several hours away). I don't trust that it would ever be done, and honestly don't trust their ethic to do it well if we were to cross paths. Again, this was not a deposit, my tattoo was paid in full, and I never got a drop of ink. Review specific to artist Taryn McKintyre, I have had no other interaction with this business read more

I just had a basic ear lobe piercing done. It was treated like a medical procedure - all sterilization/infection control protocols met. Every step of the process was verbally articulated before it was done. Yes, it may cost more than going to a place in the mall; but you get what you pay for. Professional, sterile, expert placing and after-care instructions. Friendly and engaged staff from booking to checkout. read more

Amazing. Best tattoo and piercing shop in Spokane by far. My husband is getting a multi-session blackout tattoo done by Bonnie, which looks incredible so far. I just got a parsnip tattoo done by Traci. Traci is AMAZING. She's so talented and very fast. She makes you feel comfortable, at ease, and calm. She answers questions thoroughly. I highly recommend her, especially for first-time tattoos. It was only my second and I was pretty nervous. My tattoo came out BEAUTIFUL! Better than I could have ever imagined. I have been to both the Kendall and Chewelah shop. Both are immaculately clean and the staff is so, so friendly. The girl who is usually at the front desk is the sweetest. Can't recommend this shop more! read more

I went in for a nipple piercing, during Covid, instructions were easy, they were prompt and friendly, sanitary. Dae was my piercer. He walked me through the steps and was so great as he new I was nervous. He was amazing and I highly recommend him and Mom's to go to. Thanks Dae for being so great and a fantastic piercer. read more

I reached out to Mom's by phone and email on several occasions to get a small piece done on my leg with open feedback from an artist to get comfortable with them before potentially getting A LOT of work done (half my upper torso). This staff is very unprofessional lacking in communication and would not recommend wasting your time dealing with them. Serious run around. read more
