Field notes

What locals say about Missoula tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Missoula.

“I am not one to leave reviews, but wanted to say a few words about how positive my many experiences with Forrest at Blaque Owl have been. Years ago I had a semi-niche request, & he was willing to give it a shot - we started with a consult and I immediately got the vibe he was patient, flexible, and willing to work through my slight pickiness. I have since done 4 (maybe more?) sessions with Forrest over the years and can’t overstate how patient, kind and talented this artist is. He is always willing to take time to alter size/placement & drawn on pieces, I always feel comfy taking my time and expressing myself to make sure we’re on the same page and happy with the piece. Plus, a while back there was some crap going around with male tattoo artists in Missoula being creeps & committing crimes towards women, and Forrest was one of the only male tattoo artists I saw speak up & make sure his clients knew consent & open, respectful communication were non-negotiable top priorities for him. After some historical bad experiences with male tattoo artists, that meant a lot to me & might to other folks browsing artists, who knows I recommend him to friends all the time so here’s my rec to the whole world! 10/10”
Mikela Nolin on Blaque Owl Tattoo
“I had an amazing experience getting a tattoo here! They fit me in for an appointment so quick and with ease, as I’m from out of town. Urangos was my artist and he executed my idea perfectly and was very accepting to any changes I asked for. Seriously made for a very comfortable and exciting experience. He’s a great conversationalist and has a great sense of humor as well! Definitely recommend and would consider flying back across the country to get another tattoo by him!”
