Shield Maiden Tattoo

Rachel and Julie do an amazing job of prioritizing the client experience. This shop feels like a safe a beautiful respite from the intimidating vibes of more traditional shop. I can’t imagine working with anyone else!

I have had multiple sessions with Rachel over the last couple years and every experience has been outstanding. Care and quality are critical in my opinion for tattoos and Rachel excels in both. The whole process is very professional from initial thoughts through design, execution and aftercare. I let Rachel's creative mind go with my ideas and the tattoos always turn out way better than I could have imagined. Discussions and planning are two-way with zero pressure which I really like. I have been unsure at times (mostly on my ideas and wants) and Rachel always makes me feel much more certain and confident after our planning discussions. I love conversations during the tattoos with Rachel as well. Laughing and learning always happen. Rachel is also always paying attention to the comfort of the client during the session which is great. Her incredible attention and guidance around aftercare always makes me happy as well. The new shop is amazing. Extremely clean and comfortable.

My 2 best friends and I recently got tattoos from Rachel. She was great from the get go! Very communicative and easy to work with. She was very open to making the designs just as we wanted them. The Day of our appointment, she was even willing to make a few last minute tweaks for me. The shop was clean and Rachel was very thorough with her setup/sanitation procedures and all three of us left happy. Thanks Rachel!!!!

I'm so in love with my wee little guy!!!! This is sort of my test piece before moving on to a larger piece with Rachel. Having worked with her now, I'm so excited for the next piece. She's amazing, her studio is amazing. 10 out of 10

These ladies are amazing!! I have been tattooed by both Juliette and Rachel and they do some amazing work!

Danielle is just lovely and the new space in Longmont is bright and spacious.

I have been to this shop 3 times now. Rachel is an awesome artist but also so much fun to talk to, which is important if you are going to be sitting with someone for a few hours. Shop is clean, awesomely decorated with their own art, and they take safety regarding Covid-19 very serious, which I appreciated. I have gotten a flash piece and a custom design form Rachel and both came out great. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for some beautiful artwork.

Juliette is the best

Juliette is a phenomenal and intuitive artist. She designed this piece for me from scratch and was constantly willing to make even minor adjustments until we got the piece looking exactly the way that I wanted. She is very personable and knowledgeable and takes the time to ensure that her work is able to speak for itself. This was my 15th tattoo and I can genuinely say that, of all the artists I've worked with, Juliette is my favorite to date. I will definitely be returning to her for more work.

I had convinced myself this would be my last tattoo, but Juliette was so good, the art so fantastic, and the experience so wonderful, my beautiful feather hasn't healed yet and I'm thinking about my next one. She provided lots of suggestions without being pushy, was welcoming to last minute changes, and was a pleasure to work with.

Rachel was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and did an incredible job on my two tattoos! I highly recommend visiting her!

Rachel did a wonderful job through the whole process. She replied quickly to all my questions and was very accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was clean and was following all the necessary covid precautions. And she did a great job with my tattoo. It is so delicate and beautiful. I am so thankful for everything.

This was my first tattoo, and Juliette was incredibly kind and willing to work with my ideas, and it came out amazing and just how i wanted it! Very clean and professional, and overall a really fun experience!

Juliette was amazing, she played the kind of music that I wanted, really worked with me on the design. I felt very comfortable with her and relaxed. And that she really respected the memorial tattoo that I was doing.

Rachel did an INCREDIBLE job with my tattoo. I went in with an idea about 4 days before the actual appointment and she worked with me to come up with something unique, personal, and beautiful. The actual tattoo appointment was so fun and not at all stressful! I got to watch her set everything up and I know first-hand how clean and sanitary the whole process is. I could not be more pleased with how my tattoo looks and 100% recommend As You Like It to everyone. In fact, I think my coworker might be making an appointment soon!

Great place! Rachel is a great tattoo artist and was very kind as well; easy to get along with! The tattoo turned out great (was my first one) and I’ll be going back there whenever I get my next tattoo, I definitely recommend!

I could not have picked a better place to get my first tattoo. From the beginning, Rachel was so wonderful and helpful in dealing with all of my questions and concerns. She’s super knowledgeable and professional, very hygienic, and above all incredibly talented! My tattoo came out exactly as I imagined and has healed beautifully. Cannot recommend enough!

Amazing staff and an amazing place! Juliette and Rachel are great people and care about their clients to the moon and back. If you want a shop that you will feel welcomed this is the place to be. These two are awesome artists and can complete anything you dream of just make sure you explain it out in detail! As someone whose been getting tattooed since I was 18 every time I’m in Boulder I stop in to get new pieces from these two amazing gals!

I luckily found Juliette from browsing the internet, and I am so happy I found her. I went to her with a piece to memorialize my father who had recently passed. It was a piece that meant a lot to me and Juliette treated it like it was the most important tattoo. The detail and thought she put into making it the perfect piece really resonated with me. In addition to that, Juliette is the first tattoo artist I've felt comfortable talking to and giving honest feeback to. She showed me the designed a month before the tattoo appointment to give me time to think of any changes I may want to make beforehand. I will never go to another tattoo shop!

Juliette really is such a joy!
