East Main Ink

I’ve been searching for a new tattoo artist after my long time friend and artist moved away. The work at East Main Ink speaks for itself! Professional, clean and consistently beautiful tattoos. I can’t wait to go back and have more work done by Justin! Thank you for my awesome new ink!

Quality tattoos from a quality dude. I have multiple tattoos from Dale and he’s killed it every time. If there’s two take aways it’s. Dale good. Tattoo good.

Justin at East Main Ink did my wife and my matching tattoos when we got married. He did the design for us after a brief discussion about it and nailed it. A really good guy who knows what hes doing. Best tattoo experience either of us has had so far.

Very disappointed with the service I got considering the great reviews this place has. My friend and I had called early afternoon to see if we could drop in and Julian explained he had a cancellation and if we came in at 3:30 he could get something drawn up and start tattooing with a deposit. We dropped off the deposit and when we got back there he started off with a short temper and when drawing it up he was throwing the template down and when he explained he couldn't do one part of the tattoo he was very passive aggressive while trying to help us figure out what to replace it with. Considering we had until 6 to get two tattoos done I was feeling rushed and know he was getting impatient as well. Plus with his attitude I didn't want him doing my work that day. When explaining we thought it would be best that we draw it up and plan an other day to tattoo he threw his pen down and said " Are we tattooing today or what?" Knowing the time it takes from my other work I knew it was going to be half-assed work to get both done. When leaving after being there for about 30 minutes he ended up keeping the deposit with no future appointment and gave us what he had drawn up which implies to me that he was over it and didn't want to do the work. It would have been different if he had a better attitude and explained politely that what we had in mind was unrealistic for the time we had or wasn't his style of work.

This place is world class. Bozeman finally has a tattoo shop worth the money. If you want a tattoo that will impress even the most critical eyes. The entire staff is an authority on all things tattoo. Rest easy knowing you are about to get a tattoo that will stand the test of time in a an establishment that is hygienic and professional.

Stopped by this shop while visiting Bozeman from Denver and couldn't be happier! Thanks to Julian for managing to squeeze me in as a walk in and doing an amazing job! All the artist were super talented and professional. The shop was clean fun and I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!! Thanks guys.

Brandon has done all 5 of my tattoos. I won't use another artist, he's great at his work and a really cool guy as well

Amazing experience at this tattoo shop! Definitely the best of the best. Shout out to my girl Whitdogg and my boy JPmonee for setting me an appointment with Bakerbakerbaker aka steel oats. Also got a piercing from DaleDenton and loved Dananana the stand up comedian they recently hired. That dude with the Peter Pan shoes was awkward tho

Super clean shop and @alphabetkiller was totally professional and did great. My daughter and I were newbies and he made us both feel relaxed and comfortable...and didn't make a face when he saw my tattoo idea was from Pinterest 😅

East Main Ink is hands down the best tattoo shop in Bozeman. All the artists at East Main Ink are friendly, easy going, and funny. I’ve had difficulties being comfortable in tattoo shops before, but being at EMI, I feel comfortable to crack jokes, and have great conversations. Special shout out to Baker, an artist at EMI. I’ve gotten over half of my ink done by him (some in pics below) and I am extremely happy with all of them. I am a very picky person when it comes to permanent ink, and I can’t wait to get more done by Baker. Thanks guys 👍🏼
