Gotten two tattoos here. Different artists- great experiences with both. Solid work and patient artists. Fair pricing. Work healed well.

I’ve gotten several tattoos from Rising Tide. I don’t normally leave reviews on things but I’ve had incredible experiences every single time I’ve come. Alberts black and grey work is beautiful and Mo completed a gorgeous color Fox for me. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, was very friendly and I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the tattoo, and Alberts as well. I will be back again soon!

Dana was warm and friendly greeting me at the door for my appointment, the space is clean and tidy and I could tell they are taking extra precautions seriously during covid times to keep the reception area sanitized. Albert was my artist, he was organized and clear about the design and took my concerns and suggestions in such a friendly way. My tattoo was even better than I imagined it and Albert was efficient and professional. Highly recommend and will definitely return when I’m ready for some more ink!

Considerate, clean, respectful business. Staff was prompt and polite in responding and communicating with me. I appreciate their COVID screening precautions in place. :) So happy with my new tattoo!

Managed to walk in and get a tattoo completed on a Thursday while visiting Colorado. We were told that it can often be hard to get a tattoo while walking in without an appt. The whole crew acted professional from the time I walked in until four hours later when my wifes walk in tattoo was completed. I now have a nice keepsake to remind me of my trip and of Rising Tide. Thanks Tenzin and thanks Rising Tide.

Rachel did an amazing job! She was very laid back and patient with me while creating an awesome outline that I loved!

I have had 3 tattoos done here, all by Taryn, and I have nothing but good things to say about this shop. They are very clean and the pricing is reasonable. Remember to tip your artists!

BeyFF tatts by Albert! He was wonderful and professional AF

The service here is great. My sister and I wanted matching tattoos for a very particular reason and it was time sensitive. They understood how much meaning there was behind these tattoos and rescheduled people to accommodate us. So thanks to those customers for understanding as well. The artist who did our tattoos was good and helped make the energy of this event complete.

I had an appointment scheduled with Mo for 4pm. Mo showed up at 3:55pm returning from her break and let me know she needed a quick bite to eat before getting started (which is perfectly fine, no one wants an hungry artist tattooing them). At 4:20pm, I could tell I was not a valued customer and asked the receptionist to cancel. Mo then came out of her office and condescendingly told me that I shouldnt expect an artist to be on time, spoke as if I was the one wasting her time and said that providing me a refund for my deposit would put her out $1. Very displeased and would not recommend if you are hoping to have a good experience.

Got my first ink here and had a seriously excellent experience. These folks are professional and talented. Thanks Mark! Will be back if I ever get another.

I’ve been tattooed by both Darren and Mo over multiple sessions on different projects. Both of these artists are highly experienced, professional and talented artists. You can’t go wrong at Rising Tide

Awesome staff and very friendly. Definitely recommend mark.

I love this tattoo shop, has a much better feeling that they care for their customers then some others that I have been into. The music that they play is a lot better also.

I always feel welcome at Rising Tide!Phill Bartell is an incredible talent and a decent man.The whole staff is just cool and helpful. I literally feel like I can walk around there shirtless.

Such an amazingly friendly and talented staff. The parlor itself feels so homey and relaxing, and the staff seem like a big family. I was there for 6 hours getting work done and there was never a dull moment. I travelled here just to get Mo to tattoo me and it turned out perfectly! If I was local, I would never go anywhere else.

They take their time and really work with the clients. Really clean shop and good people.

My first tattoo and Im super satisfied with the way it turned out.

Love it here. Phill is the best... When hes not in Mexico. Love their art events too.

They took me and my 3 girlfriends as walk ins and worked with us on our designs. Our tattoo artist I unfortunately cannot remember his name, but was from India and he was so friendly and outgoing. He did a great job. THe place is clean and reasonably priced!

I personally know that Rachel is amazing

Most of the tattoos on my right arm are from this shop. I love all the artists here ️

They have awesome artists there. Extremely happy with my new tattoo. Mo is the best!

My most recent addition from Taryn

Exceptional quality and atmosphere.I just had my second piece finished by Darren and I must say that he did a wonderful job.I will continue to give them my business, because they are all amazing artists.

Great shop. My tattoo that I got there looks great! Staff were very friendly and the shop itself had great decor.

Clean and professional shop staffed with amazing artists. Ample parking. Good people

Always been very happy with the folks at rising tide. Stellar music, stellar artists, and stellar tatoos!

Fantastic, great service, prompt and friendly, very professional work.

Awesome tattoo studio with a great staff of artists. My wife and I got tattoos here while in town for our honeymoon and couldnt be happier with our tattoos! Definitely the place to go!

Phil is a beast!! This is my favorite tattoo shop in Boulder. Super clean and friendly! I have 2 very different tattoos from them, and I love them both.

We are so happy to call this our home tattoo shop. We are always pleased with the work they do and have enjoyed working with the artists in creating unique pieces. Everyone here is so wonderful, and we always make a point to stop in an say hey when we are in the area.

Awesome experience as usual...

I had an old tattoo that needed something done and Taryn added to it. Im so Happy with it now!Thanks Taryn for your creativity and talent.

Best art and tattoo gallery in Colorado. Phil has a vision of how the place should be and sticks to that vision. Incredible artists here, they give input on how to improve designs or create from just an idea in your head. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

My wife and I have been exclusively going to Darren here for years. Not only is he an exceptional artist with a steady hand, but he and everyone weve encountered at Rising Tide has been professional and friendly. You want a great ink shop with some awesome people? Go here.

I was in to get a tattoo altered and touched up a bit - I had an appointment with Tenzin and he was incredibly friendly, and professional, and he was as accommodating as could be. His work is amazing, and the end result is better than I had hoped! Thank you Tenzin!

I got a tattoo yesterday in honor of my mother. I brought in a general design and I had a location in mind. I had a consultation with Darren and then set up an appointment. I felt respected, safe, and the tattoo is beautiful. Its all that I had hoped it would be. Wonderful place!

Great shop: friendly, clean, professional.

The studio was extremely clean and the staff was absolutely fantastic. Everyone was nice and made it a comfortable experience!

Got my first of many tattoos here. Clean and proffesional. The artist really helped be feel at ease and comfortable all the way through the process.

Last Friday, my two best friends and I all went to get small tattoos at Rising Tide. Our appointment was with Danny, who was clearly knowledgeable and skilled at what he does. We are all beyond pleased with his work, and love our tattoos. However, I knew I had to write this review for another very important reason. While my friend was being tattooed, my sister (who had accompanied us to our appointment) unexpectedly had a seizure. Obviously, this was very scary for us. Danny sprang into action once he knew what was going on and held her head, all the while assuring us she would be okay. He sat there with us, still holding her head, until the paramedics came and generally kept us calm. He also called us the next day to make sure everyone was okay (my sister is doing just fine now). We all appreciate Dannys kindness so much, as well as his skills as an artist. We will definitely be back to Rising Tide for any future ink!

This is the only shop in the world that I have approved to tattoo my kids. Phill Bartell is a true artist! Hes also a kind soul that really helps you relax and figure out the best design for your custom work.

They are probably good artists but I wouldnt know. They made me wait to squeeze in 2 walk ins. After waiting an hour and a half after the time I scheduled a week ago I walked out.

Go nowhere else! Thank you Danny my tat rocks!! This is my first. Rising Tide has a great system. You go in for a consult with your ideas, drawings, and layout or just to talk. Then a terrific guy like Danny gives you more ideas and options. Its like a dry-run...stage the location, size, and placement. I really like the discipline to detail at Rising Tide. Rising tide and their artists have been there for over 14 years. This tells me they like what they do and have many repeat customers. This continued Proof of Performance helped my confidence. I definitely picked the right place with Rising Tide. Thanks guys...!!!!

Top notch. Great staff, great music, great tattoos.

Great crew, amazing artists, and very friendly. Super relaxed group of awesome people.

Great place and people, my second time and Ill be back!!

Came in a couple years ago for a small piece that I wanted done, and the finished product was amazing! Unfortunately, I had a second piece that they were unable to complete for me, but I am still pleased with the work that I got.

Awesome tattooists. Professional and friendly. Good artists here.

Got a flash tattoo By Phil Bartell for friday the 13th. He is an amazing artist and truly cares about his work and doing a great tattoo.

Hands down the best shop in Boulder and surrounding areas! These artists are professional and highly skilled, creating some of the most unique and inspiring tattoos Ive seen. I wouldnt go anywhere else, its worth the wait and the cost...remember, tattoos are for life, so why not get the best?!

The staff here are great. The artist care about the customers design and they do their best ensure the design meets the vision.

Danny is an excellent and personable artist. He made me feel very comfortable and speedily completed my small tattoo. I will be definitely coming back for additional work!

Theyre cool people! But the shop made me pay $160 for a new tattoo. when I should have payed $100 - $130. A small tattoo also. Overpriced in my opinion. The tattoo came out okay, needs a touch up or something. But yeah, stick to your word when you consult your pricing...

Chill environment, highly recommend going to see Danny! Amazing artwork

Great shop, excellent humans, highest quality work. Ive got tattoos from top artists all over the country, and the Piece Phil did for me is among my favorite. Looking forward to the next one.

The artwork they do here is great definitely the best place to pick up some new ink!!!!

Great shop! cool people.

Best artists around. All of them are so talented and care so much about giving you the best experience they can.

Nice people. Made an appointment for a consult. Interesting scheduling.

First tattoo by Darren. Really happy with my new ink!

If this rating score went up to 10.. It would get it. Hands down some of the best artist in the area!

Amazing artists, amazing customer service!

I only had a general concept in mind when I came in, but Stevie ran with it and came up with an incredible design. Im so happy with what she did!!

Great tattoo done by Darren.

Great

Darren is a freaking wizard.
