From the business
"Rising Tide Tattoo was founded in 2005 by Phill Bartell as a one-man shop on Pearl St. in downtown Boulder, Colorado. Five years later, Rising Tide Tattoo Emporium & Gallery was born from the idea that one space could bring together fine art and tattoo art; displaying quality work on both skin and canvas. In 2010, Rising Tide opened its doors to a warm reception from the community and our machines have hardly been quiet since. Our artists work closely with each client to ensure that their pieces are unique and aligned with their vision. Come on by to check out our light-filled, inspiring space, peruse portfolios and gallery art for sale, or to make an appointment for custom work. Walk in clients are also welcome."

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.

Got a tattoo today by Albert at Rising Tide! He did an amazing job, was funny and personable, and priced very reasonable. I had Hebrew letters tattooed which Albert did with perfect precision. Love it!!! Thank you, Albert and Rising Tide!!

The front desk associate was amazing and Taryn gave me the tattoo of my dreams. She's talented, professional, and it's clear she cares about her clients. Highly recommend!

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 shouldn't 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.

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.

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. It's all that I had hoped it would be. Wonderful place!

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.

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 Danny's kindness so much, as well as his skills as an artist. We will definitely be back to Rising Tide for any future ink!

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!
