Moon and Mercury Tattoo

I got my first bigger piece from Kevin Koskela at Moon & Mercury this month. The atmosphere is welcoming and inviting when you first enter the shop, the lighting is softer which is really awesome and not jarring like most overhead lighting is in some shops, all of the artists are kind and friendly and make sure that you are comfortable from the get-go. There are snacks and water provided if you need or get lightheaded during your session. Kevin is very passionate about his work and constantly made sure that I was doing okay with the pain levels, and ensuring good quality work by going over color and linework for the fullest possible saturation. Cannot wait to work with him and this studio again in the future!

Loved this place! Kevin’s talented, easy to communicate with and he did super good on my anime piece. The vibe in the shop is also dope af

This is a great shop for anyone looking to get a tattoo. The shop has a great vibe and is very clean. Kevin is a great artist and has great communication.

We had a confirmed appointment at 10:50 in the morning. I drove all the way in from Sandpoint in very treacherous winter conditions only to find that the shop is closed and no one is here! I’ve called multiple times I’ve emailed and zero communication. Very, very poor business.

I can’t recommend this shop more! Great artists and highly professional results! I get no stop compliments on my sleeves and they have even won 1st place in a convention! From geometric/mandala designs to anime and stick and poke tattoos this place is WORTH it! Communication is excellent and the art will blow you away! Highly recommend!

This place is BEAUTIFUL and so are the people who own it. I absolutely love my poke tattoo that Eelisha did today! She’s diligent with her work, and her family is the same way. The environment is very fresh and classy! All of these artist are amazing! Her husband Peter is one of the most talented artist I’ve ever met, and their sons are very talented as well! You would be making a mistake to not go here! Thank you to this brilliant family for opening such a beautiful tattoo shop on 57th in south hill. I’ll be coming back for more tattoos soon!

I’ve been looking to get this piece done for several years, but couldn’t find the right artist to take the idea up. Peter’s creativity was brilliant here - taking the idea of the four seasons, with some Japanese influence and putting it into a lower arm piece. He runs the place with his wife, who’s also lovely. The whole family is there including their two boys. He rocked this one in a single 8 hour sit. Good people, good energy, and lots of talent flowing through this place.

Amazing apothecary atmosphere transports you to another world as Peter Koskela and family put masterpieces to skin. I am getting a sleeve done with Peter and every piece we add is more amazing than the last. Every step Peter has been maticulous in design, fit and placement to ensure every piece moves with the body and follows natural movement. Every time Peter explains the work to be done and what to expect with tough areas which has always made me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn't recomended anyone more for your tattoo needs.

They really care about their customers and their art is incredible!!!

Peter is an amazing artist, very clean, and great detail in his work. Will be back for another tattoo!

I have been having my work done by Peter for years now. I have moved across state yet travel 6 hours because there is no one I trust more to put my vision to ink!

We popped in on there opening day to check it out.... the shop is Amazingly Beautiful & has great vibes. The artist where in there doing there thing, looking forward to getting some fresh ink soon. Congrats !!

This shop is everything. The vibe and energy are unmatched for a tattoo shop in our area. The art and friendships you will find here are priceless. Go meet this family of artists, you won't be sorry.

I own the business. Just testing google review.
