Brightside Body Art

When you enter the shop you are warmly greeted by smiles and warm welcomes from some very amazing women! It felt comfortable. This was my second time in the shop, 1st time it was my daughter and I just checking it out and I came back a 2nd time by myself to get a piercing as a walk in. Chatted for a bit to kind of figure out what I wanted, then we got started Larisa was super professional, made sure to cover everything before, during and after. Really made sure to ask how I was doing, especially because I was nervous. It went so smooth! Loved the look of the shop, definitely will be going again and I recommend checking it out and getting some body art! Larisa was great to work with, thank you !

I just had my first piercing (eyebrow) with TRIST’N and it was such a great experience! She was very welcoming as soon as I walked in and talked me through the process seeing how nervous I was. I am definitely coming back and telling all my friends to come here. thank you so much! -Haley

This was by far the best piercing experience I've had! I got a double forward helix piercing and lobes done by Trist'n, who was very skilled and professional. I really appreciated the frequent check-ins and communication throughout. I definitely recommend going to Brightside, thank you!

Trist'n was exceptional when it came to my "downstairs" piercings. She did a great job and never made me feel uncomfortable at all. I don't think I could have gotten through it otherwise. She was extremely professional which I really appreciated, she also has a lot of confidence in her work which made me feel very safe, Definitely recommend. Thanks for giving me a huge self esteem/image boost!

We got memorial tattoos here for our uncle. The apprentice, Sam, did our tattoos. She did such an amazing job and made us all feel so comfortable. The shop itself was one of the most comfortable tattoo and piercing shops I've ever been to. The environment and overall vibe were amazing. I've never felt more comfortable and welcomed at a tattoo shop.

Went in for an Industrial piercing. Not gonna lie I was super nervous. Been wanting one for awhile. Saw their website, read the reviews and was sold. When I met with Trist'n she instantly put me at ease. Very laid back and she explained the whole process. Told me step by step what she was doing and reminded me to breath. Definitely going back for other work. Clean shop and had a nice vibe. Highly recommend you check it out. Prices are fair compared to other places. You won't be sorry!

Got a tattoo here by the lovely apprentice Sam! The outside of this shop is very unassuming, but is a dream land of comfort when you walk in! There are plants and decor everywhere and everyone who works there is so sweet! They give you a lot of privacy and are super professional and fun at the same time! Definitely coming back here for more tattoos and piercings!

I came in and saw Trist’n yesterday, she was an absolute dream to work with! The environment is so calm, soothing and comfortable. I am over the moon happy with my new piercing! She gave me exactly what I wanted!

tl;dr if you’re looking for a clean, covid-safe, and artistic place for piercings or tattoos, this is your jam.

Amazing, clean, professional, stylish, friendly, safe, hip. Everything! I could not be more pleased with my piercing experience here.
- easy and straightforward booking process through the website, I was able to schedule out a week for piercings. Appreciated the text confirmation and follow up
- Clean & Safe. I am covid cautious and the moment I stepped in I felt comfortable. Masks required and every single person inside was masked. It’s a large space and they are appointment only so I didn’t feel it was overcrowded at all. The artists all have their own private spaces for tattoo/piercing and it felt as clean and professional as a doctors office (without losing the vibe!).
- Trist’n is a skilled piercer and makes you feel safe and comfortable. The process was seamless and she checked in with me many times and was fast and professional.
- Stylish AF. I wasn’t sure what I wanted and the piercing artist/co-owner Trist’n was helpful, friendly, and gave me consultation to help me decide placement and jewelry. I liked her aesthetic and she could tell what I wanted and helped me accomplish it.
- Woman owned, positive, empowered space. They support other woman-owned businesses, donate to important local causes, and just seem like a great addition to the local small business scene.

After checking out a few shops in Missoula for my ear piercings - I am SO glad I found Brightside, it is by far the most clean and professional shop I encountered and I’ll be encouraging any friends who want piercings or tattoos to come here.

Trist’n was amazing! So kind, and walked through the whole process. She asked me if I was ready a couple times, which helped boost my confidence and settle nerves (I hate needles, love my piercings) I didn’t. Even. Feel. It. Trist’n has my business for all future piercings, and I plan to to back for another nose piercing in a couple months. Thanks!
