Altered Skin Tattoo & Body Piercing

Nice little place, tucked away from the elements! Great atmosphere! Clean! Love the staff and the owners! Always nice and helpful! They are there for all your tattooing, piercing, jewelry, swag and art needs!

Check them out, you won't be disappointed!

The store is very nice and appealing. The girl at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The lady that did our piercing, Sara, was very standoffish and acted like we didn't belong there. She made it very uncomfortable for us. We'll be going back for some tattoos. Let's hope the tattoo artist is nicer than the piercer.

I have several piercings and this was by far my favorite experience to date! The shop has a great vibe, professional and welcoming staff, and a wide array of body jewelry. My piercer Sarah Milz, is AMAZING!! From the actual piercing to the aftercare, Sarah made everything comfortable and easy. I would highly recommend this shop and their piercer!

So I've been using altered skin for several years, over 10 and I will not go back. All of my kids have had tattoos done by Dave I've had tattoos by Dave his wife has pierced my girls and I really didn't even think twice when my six-year-old granddaughter wanted her ears pierced as to where we would go, I knew we were going to altered skin cause that's where we've always gone. But upon arrival I'm looking at the earrings and I was told $70 for these and a 140 for the flat pack I told the guy at the desk I wanted to go with the $70 ones because I have several kids they all have their ears pierced doesn't seem to be a problem so why not go with regular, then the piercer comes out and says I suggest to flat back and I said yeah I think I'm just going to go with the $70 ones that's kind of outrageous for earrings, and she rolls her eyes shakes her head and goes back into her office. (I mean if they were something you loved and really wanted yes of course but these are temporary) so anyways we left very poor service. Will not recommend and will never go back. Sorry Dave can't do the rudeness.

Have gotten four piercings from Millz since I started coming here- they're extremely friendly and take great care in their job. They're the only piercer I've gone to that's actually checked my anatomy before to make sure the piercing will work okay. I haven't had a bad experience yet here and always recommend it to friends :)

Very unprofessional! Made a tat apt, thought all was good until the artist didn’t even know I was booked with him the day of and the front desk worker “lost” the deposit?!? Just wanted some ink now they saying I never gave them any money.

We took our 8-year-old son to get his ears pierced for his birthday. He was very nervous. However, the piercer, Millz, was great, very patient and made the process positive and quick. He is excited to go back for more one day. We were so thankful that the experience was positive and will definitely go back. I recommend Altered Skin to anyone looking for a piercing or a minor piercing in Missoula.

Millz is By far one of the most professional pierces I have had the pleasure of being stabbed by. They are easygoing, understanding, and quick to answer any piercing related questions that you may have. Thank you and Everybody at Altered Skin, you are all Amazing Artists.

I don’t recommend until they talk to their receptionist about proper etiquette. When someone is walking in and asking about piercing prices, the jewelry materials, the jewelry selection, aftercare, etc. You don’t spam the phrase “so who’s ready to start paperwork?”. No one is ready to start paperwork until you answer the questions. Why would someone who has skin sensitivity or problems with aftercare or is picky about jewelry want to start paperwork before having the important questions answered? Also, you should provide every person with aftercare instructions.

I got my Medusa pierced by millz, and she is such an incredible lady! The piercing turned out beautiful and the healing process was a breeze. Millz checked in to see how the piercing was healing, and I’ve never had a piercer care much after to check in. Anyone who’s asked me about piercings and where to go, I’ll always send em’ here! The other employees are wonderful as well and are very professional. You can tell they all want to be there and truly enjoy their customers
