Work done by James Strickland at Montana Tattoo Company. Awesome tattoo artist, I would have to say…read moreJames is the most personal, talented artist in Montana at least from what I have experienced. While their James took my idea and turned it into something I could have never thought of, he worked through the piece and didn't waste time, gave breaks when needed. Definitely best bang for your Buck. I was so happy with the entire experience I decided to put another deposit down and book a follow up to continue working on my sleeve. As long as James is in Montana, I will continue to go back. I am so happy to have found my new tattoo artist. Also the shop owner was super cool, caring and very welcoming. Best experience yet in a tattoo shop.

We wanted to get tattoos on the day of the Pearl Jam show - something to commemorate our trip, friendship, the spirit of the land and life in general. After a ton of research, and both of us having an affection for bird symbolism, we chose a version of the Thunder Bird. Knowing that the day of the show would probably be crazy, I called 3 weeks ahead to schedule a time. The artist I wanted (and hoped she would oblige and was available, fingers crossed!) was Hanna (Baptiste) Mooreman. We totally hit it off on the phone and we were set. Side note: For me, it's important to have a vibe/or connection with the tattoo artist and shop - we totally did! I sent a collage of Thunder Bird inspiration and wanted her to draw something from that. I wanted her style to come through in the drawing. Our sessions went perfect. While Hanna finished up the art, we went through the formalities of getting the paperwork complete. I went first and then my buddy. And with that, we were off to the sweet buzz of her tattoo gun. Hanna's line and dot work is awesome! We are super happy with the way it turned out. For color, I went with turquoise and my buddy went with red. See photos! She got us out in under 2.5 hours. After an awesome weekend with best friends and having that new tattoo for the Pearl Jam show, was one of the best. Thanks to Hanna and BBG for helping make that happen! I would totally recommend visiting the talented team at Bound By Glory. Now, GO GET SOME INK!

I decided to take a chance with P.S.T. and I am very glad I did. I walked in on a Sunday morning and was pleased to see a bright shop with lots of jewelry options. I was greeted promptly by Trist'n. She is extremely knowledgeable and gave some really good suggestions about choosing a 10g rather than 8g. The 10g would leave more tissue and should probably heal faster. I was also VERY impressed with all the awards the folks at the shop have earned over the years. The shop has been around for many years and shows a lot of dedication on the part of the staff too. After paperwork and jewelry choice, she sterilized the jewelry and marked the spot for piercing. In truth, the piercing was nearly painless and before I left, she faithfully went over aftercare. I picked out a few other jewelry pieces from the large selection which Trist'n also sterilized. Next time I'm in town, I will be back. Thank you Trist'n!
