Reviews of Rising Tide Tattoo Emporium (Tattoo Shop)

Jon Robichaud

The staff here are great. The artist care about the customers design and they do their best ensure the design meets the vision.

Nessa Starchild

Fantastic, great service, prompt and friendly, very professional work.

Sean Wheeler

Best art and tattoo gallery in Colorado. Phil has a vision of how the place should be and sticks to that vision. Incredible artists here, they give input on how to improve designs or create from just an idea in your head. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I got a tattoo yesterday in honor of my mother. I brought in a general design and I had a location in mind. I had a consultation with Darren and then set up an appointment. I felt respected, safe, and the tattoo is beautiful. It's all that I had hoped it would be. Wonderful place!

Carolina Vasquez

Most of the tattoos on my right arm are from this shop. I love all the artists here ❤️

John Smith

Go nowhere else! Thank you Danny my tat rocks!! This is my first. Rising Tide has a great system. You go in for a consult with your ideas, drawings, and layout or just to talk. Then a terrific guy like Danny gives you more ideas and options. It's like a dry-run...stage the location, size, and placement. I really like the discipline to detail at Rising Tide. Rising tide and their artists have been there for over 14 years. This tells me they like what they do and have many repeat customers. This continued "Proof of Performance" helped my confidence. I definitely picked the right place with Rising Tide. Thanks guys...!!!!

I had an old tattoo that needed something done and Taryn added to it. I'm so Happy with it now! Thanks Taryn for your creativity and talent.

Phil is a beast!! This is my favorite tattoo shop in Boulder. Super clean and friendly! I have 2 very different tattoos from them, and I love them both.

Kate Knox

Great shop: friendly, clean, professional.

Kade Drobeck

My wife and I have been exclusively going to Darren here for years. Not only is he an exceptional artist with a steady hand, but he and everyone we've encountered at Rising Tide has been professional and friendly. You want a great ink shop with some awesome people? Go here.

David Dunlap

Top notch. Great staff, great music, great tattoos.

James Jaramillo

They are probably good artists but I wouldn't know. They made me wait to "squeeze in" 2 walk ins. After waiting an hour and a half after the time I scheduled a week ago I walked out.

Zenon Cuellar

Got my first of many tattoos here. Clean and proffesional. The artist really helped be feel at ease and comfortable all the way through the process.

Amy Arensberg

The service here is great. My sister and I wanted matching tattoos for a very particular reason and it was time sensitive. They understood how much meaning there was behind these tattoos and rescheduled people to accommodate us. So thanks to those customers for understanding as well. The artist who did our tattoos was good and helped make the energy of this event complete.

Mike Will

Chill environment, highly recommend going to see Danny! Amazing artwork

This is the only shop in the world that I have approved to tattoo my kids. Phill Bartell is a true artist! He's also a kind soul that really helps you relax and figure out the best design for your custom work.

Samuel Wright

Exceptional quality and atmosphere. I just had my second piece finished by Darren and I must say that he did a wonderful job. I will continue to give them my business, because they are all amazing artists.

Nicolene Wright

Got a flash tattoo By Phil Bartell for friday the 13th. He is an amazing artist and truly cares about his work and doing a great tattoo.

Gavin Blair

Amazing artists, amazing customer service!

Lynn Hall

I only had a general concept in mind when I came in, but Stevie ran with it and came up with an incredible design. I'm so happy with what she did!!

Elise Bradley

Fast, friendly, great linework, healed up well. Interior decoration possibly better than any tattoo shop I’ve ever stepped foot in. I was also going through a trying time and the guys really held space for me emotionally. I’ll be back!

Danny McCarthy

Darren is a freaking wizard.

R T

Great shop. My tattoo that I got there looks great! Staff were very friendly and the shop itself had great decor.

allie trice

They took me and my 3 girlfriends as walk ins and worked with us on our designs. Our tattoo artist I unfortunately cannot remember his name, but was from India and he was so friendly and outgoing. He did a great job. THe place is clean and reasonably priced!

Bill Haskins

Great crew, amazing artists, and very friendly. Super relaxed group of awesome people.

Dan Sosalla

Love it here. Phill is the best... When he's not in Mexico. Love their art events too.

Best artists around. All of them are so talented and care so much about giving you the best experience they can.

Kyle Halliburton

Awesome tattoo studio with a great staff of artists. My wife and I got tattoos here while in town for our honeymoon and couldn't be happier with our tattoos! Definitely the place to go!

Aaron Christensen

Came in a couple years ago for a small piece that I wanted done, and the finished product was amazing! Unfortunately, I had a second piece that they were unable to complete for me, but I am still pleased with the work that I got.

Cameron Dixon

Managed to walk in and get a tattoo completed on a Thursday while visiting Colorado. We were told that it can often be hard to get a tattoo while walking in without an appt. The whole crew acted professional from the time I walked in until four hours later when my wife's walk in tattoo was completed. I now have a nice keepsake to remind me of my trip and of Rising Tide. Thanks Tenzin and thanks Rising Tide.

Lucien Dupree

Nice people. Made an appointment for a consult. Interesting scheduling.

Emily Stroble

Such an amazingly friendly and talented staff. The parlor itself feels so homey and relaxing, and the staff seem like a big family. I was there for 6 hours getting work done and there was never a dull moment. I travelled here just to get Mo to tattoo me and it turned out perfectly! If I was local, I would never go anywhere else.

Lenny B

Awesome tattooists. Professional and friendly. Good artists here.

Mawana Gage

My first tattoo and I'm super satisfied with the way it turned out.

John Partridge

Always been very happy with the folks at rising tide. Stellar music, stellar artists, and stellar tatoos!

Alejandra Wilcox

Last Friday, my two best friends and I all went to get small tattoos at Rising Tide. Our appointment was with Danny, who was clearly knowledgeable and skilled at what he does. We are all beyond pleased with his work, and love our tattoos. However, I knew I had to write this review for another very important reason. While my friend was being tattooed, my sister (who had accompanied us to our appointment) unexpectedly had a seizure. Obviously, this was very scary for us. Danny sprang into action once he knew what was going on and held her head, all the while assuring us she would be okay. He sat there with us, still holding her head, until the paramedics came and generally kept us calm. He also called us the next day to make sure everyone was okay (my sister is doing just fine now). We all appreciate Danny's kindness so much, as well as his skills as an artist. We will definitely be back to Rising Tide for any future ink!

Victoria Dean

The studio was extremely clean and the staff was absolutely fantastic. Everyone was nice and made it a comfortable experience!

Bradley Mahaffey

First tattoo by Darren. Really happy with my new ink!

Corey Miecielica

If this rating score went up to 10.. It would get it. Hands down some of the best artist in the area!

Blacksheep Lopez

They're cool people! But the shop made me pay $160 for a new tattoo. when I should have payed $100 - $130. A small tattoo also. Overpriced in my opinion. The tattoo came out okay, needs a touch up or something. But yeah, stick to your word when you consult your pricing...

Gianna Anselmo

Danny is an excellent and personable artist. He made me feel very comfortable and speedily completed my small tattoo. I will be definitely coming back for additional work!

batool altaher

Great tattoo done by Darren.

Gabe Miller

Clean and professional shop staffed with amazing artists. Ample parking. Good people

Westley Lemke

I was in to get a tattoo altered and touched up a bit - I had an appointment with Tenzin and he was incredibly friendly, and professional, and he was as accommodating as could be. His work is amazing, and the end result is better than I had hoped! Thank you Tenzin!

Chris Johnston

They have awesome artists there. Extremely happy with my new tattoo. Mo is the best!

the dancing plague dvandva-jālāni

The artwork they do here is great definitely the best place to pick up some new ink!!!!

Kiri Westby

Hands down the best shop in Boulder and surrounding areas! These artists are professional and highly skilled, creating some of the most unique and inspiring tattoos I've seen. I wouldn't go anywhere else, it's worth the wait and the cost...remember, tattoos are for life, so why not get the best?!

Mary Kay Wilson

Great place and people, my second time and I'll be back!!

Skylar Hunnicutt

I personally know that Rachel is amazing

Great shop, excellent humans, highest quality work. I've got tattoos from top artists all over the country, and the Piece Phil did for me is among my favorite. Looking forward to the next one.
