Tribal Rites Tattoo & Piercing

I just went into Tribal to speak with a piercer about my unhappy snug piercing :’) i met with Jake and he was so educated and helped me make the decision to remove it. He was patient with me and gave me many options about how to go about my piercing. I really appreciated his truthfulness and kindness. I would recommend him to anyone !!

I had Mo for my piercing and it went excellent! Quick, clean, professional, and very kind. Absolutely would go here for future services and recommend to others!

Got my first tattoo here, and have seen multiple friends get piercings here. Very sanitary - this place is very strict with sterilizing equipment and being as clean as possible. My tattoo artist was accurate and quick. Did a great job and years later my tattoo still looks great!

I went in to Tribal Rites in Boulder on the advice of a few friends. I was not disappointed! Tommy was my tattoo artist and I couldn’t be happier with his work. The guy is a pro and an extraordinary artist! The entire crew was welcoming and friendly, even taking time to watch my progress and tell me how great it was coming along. I’d absolutely recommend Tommy and the Boulder shop to anyone looking for a clean, professional and fun shop for their next piece!

During the time of COVID I felt completely safe in the shop. Everyone was taking the CDC guidelines seriously and Tribal Rites has always been super clean and professional. David was my artist and was very nice and answered all my questions. I thought the pricing was very fair and I love my new tattoo piece so much! The colors are absolutely perfect!

Excellent place! I went in to get a nose piercing and was very nervous about it, having had some bad piercing experiences in the past. The staff was very friendly and the place was clean and professional. Chris did my piercing and he had the best attitude and personality! He talked me through each step, and never did anything without telling me first. He did a wonderful job at keeping me calm. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially first time piercings, and will be returning for all future piercings.

DON’T COME HERE FOR ANY KIND OF PIERCINGS. I have never been treated so rudely by a person in my entire life. I came to Tribal Rites because I heard that this was the best place to get piercings in Boulder from a local..that was far from the truth. I had initially scheduled an appointment to get my Tragus piercing changed & I had called earlier to see if I could also get a piercing during my appointment. The guy who helped me when picking out my jewelry was very short with me and my friend as we were deciding what we wanted. It seemed as if we were getting on their nerves for just being there. Jason was the one who pierced my ears and was the one who treated me terribly. He started to get irritated with me because I didn’t know which jewelry was for what ear (they were both diamond studs). I got the piercing I wanted which was fine besides him not really giving any warning. He said “breathe in and breathe out” and did the thing. But when it came to switching out the tragus he touched it for a second and said it wasn’t healed yet. I said that it had been a little over 6 weeks which I was told it could be changed. (It had actually been a little over 8 weeks) He said “NO. It has to be at least 3 months before you can change this” in a very snippy tone. I said “you’re kidding” as I was shocked and he says “Why would I be kidding!? I’m a professional” also in a very rude tone and I apologized because I didn’t know what else to do. I don’t understand how his attitude towards his customers hasn’t changed after seeing multiple other poor reviews about him. He may be good at doing piercings but he is terrible with how he treats and talks to his customers. I wish I hadn’t overlooked the bad reviews because they are true.

Nate Smalley provided tattoos for my friend and i. He was fantastic! Very kind and patient with us, but most importantly provided exactly what we asked for. Thanks!

I've had an idea of what I wanted for a couple of months now but I wasn't sure of the size of the tattoo. Andrew was incredibly patient with me in getting the sizing and angling right and I couldn't be more happy with my tattoo. It was also great to talk to Andrew and Frank as I got my tattoo done. This was my first one and it was just a great experience. As long as I'm in boulder, Tribal Rites will be my shop of choice. Thank you so much guys!!

Love the double piercing I got at Tribal Lol i yes! Staff cared about making my piercing just to my liking and was helpful through the entire process. Would totally recommend for piercings!
