All in all, I had a relatively unsatisfactory experience. I love my tattoo because of what it symbolizes for me, but the execution could have been better.I requested a consultation for a tattoo. I had my design/concept ready with a few images and a sketch I had done. While I did appreciate how clean the shop was and the art on display, I did not feel welcomed. Browsing the art books and portfolios in silence was awkward. I got booked with Tony, not too far out.The first thing I didn't appreciate was that the morning of my appointment I showed up and a different tattoo artist informed me that Tony had a late night and was simply too tired to come in and do my tattoo. So this other tattoo artist was going to do it in his place. In my opinion, people research their tattoo artist carefully and it was very unprofessional of Mind's Eye to not tell me about the switch until I had already driven out of my way and gotten there. If I hadn't been willing to agree to the switch, I would've wasted my time altogether. I agreed because it would have been difficult for me to find another time. The artist who did the tattoo was super nice, I can't fault him for the shop's mistake, he did the best he could with a bad situation, but I felt pretty embarrassed about how the shop/Tony handled it.As for the actual tattoo, while the artist was so nice and I really don't fault him personally, there were some issues.When I showed my idea, the artist did a sketch and showed it to me. I had a change I wanted, as I didn't feel it represented a trait I had discussed, at which point the artist derided what I was asking for as "oh, you mean tribal." In fact, what I was asking for was not tribal at all, but rather realism.Then, since it was my first tattoo and I had already disagreed with the first sketch, I didn't feel brave enough to ask the artist to adjust the placement after he had first put it down. It was slightly off center. I can only tell from certain angles, but to this day it still irritates me sometimes when I catch a glimpse of it looking a little "off".The other issue with the tattoo was that although I had said I wanted it in green, I saw the artist prepping various bottles, and just moments before the needle hit the skin I saw he was using RED, and had to point out that I had asked for green. I had specific reasons for the green. When the artist picked out the green they were going to use, I admit I felt like the bottle looked ancient and dried out. My tattoo is several years old now, but from the beginning the green has had a sort of splotchy appearance.Additionally, the artist had a hard time getting my skin to "take" I guess with the green, so he spent so much time in one spot that the skin got a little mangled. You can still see where he spent all that time.Finally, the very bottom of the tattoo had a gap from the beginning where the skin just didn't get inked.Someday I'll get a touch up, but not at Mind's Eye after my experience.I will say that the price was fair at the time.

Best place to get ink! I have spent time with Tony and Chris! Best hands down! Awesome shop, great people, and the best ink around! Wendy is the best and the whole shop will make you feel welcome! Thanks guys!!! Can't wait to get more!!! Read Less

I have been wanting to go here for a few years as I had heard really good things... I'm one of those people who has an idea in mind but needs someone to draw it... my first one at another studio came out good, or so I thought!!! Chris blew me away with his design ��� He took what I was thinking and made it even better than I could of imagined with just a description of what I was looking for!!! As soon as you walk you, Wendy makes you feel welcome and will get you with the ri...ght artist for your needs... the other artists work great with each other and all came in and out and complicated Chris on his work with my tattoo; Tony even said he loved the smaller line work and would like to see him do more of that!! Chris is even going to fix my other tattoo once I heal from this one... my husband will be getting his next one done here also... This place is awesome and I see a few more tats in my future �� Thank you Chris, you're the best �� Afficher la suite Read Less

I've received all my work done here at Minds Eye from Mike over the past 3 years and I absolutely love it! Tony & Wendy are amazing people, and I have never met a group of people more caring, welcoming, and professional than these guys. I have been treated like FAMILY the entire time and I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my ink done. They've added some new artists to the shop recently including Tyler that fit in perfectly and his art is extremely good that could give the master Tony a run for his money!! Read Less

This place was fantastic! My favorite piece I have was done here. The artist was incredibly respectable and charismatic. All around it was a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend this place to any and everyone! Read Less

Amazing experience from beginning to end! Mike O'Neil was a true pleasure to work with and he took hours going over my ideas with me to make sure we had it Just Right. The shop was extremely clean and professionally set up and laid out, Very Welcoming and a breath of fresh air in the over saturated under talented field these days it was a true pleasure from start to finish! Do NOT waste your time and hard earned money anywhere else, learn from my mistake and only go to A Mind's Eye!!!! Read Less

Tony is truly a master. Both professionally and artistically he exceeds all expectations. Tony spent hours with me on the design until we came up something that was way better than I even expected. The studio is clean and the staff is warm and welcoming, the amount of attention to detail was incredible. Thank you Tony and Wendy for all that you do in the studio and the community. Read Less

While traveling on business in Boise I walked in on a recommendation and they were booked 2 months out. But I left my number in case something opened up. Explaining I was only here for another week and I didn't want anything big. Just something small to say I got a tat while on Boise. Better than a tshirt! Wendy called me later in the afternoon to let me know that something opened up. So I was able to get a tat from Mike. I love it! Clean shop. Great people working there. Overall an awesome experience!

My experience at A Minds Eye Tattoo was absolutely stellar!  From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I was in the right place.  The shop is incredibly clean and beautifully decorated with amazing paintings.  I scheduled my appointment many months ago through Wendy.  Although we had never met, I felt like we had always been friends.  She's so fun and always has a smile for clients when they come in.  I met with Tony Adamson and we discussed ideas of how to work with my existing work to create a flowing back piece.  It required some cover-ups, which was a bit of a challenge, but the end result was absolutely outstanding.  Tony is truly one of the best artists I've ever known!  I traveled from San Francisco to have him finish my back and I couldn't be happier that I did.  I'll be back for more!!  Thank-you Tony for making me feel like a living piece of one of a kind, fine art.  Not only are you amazingly talented, you're also really fun to work with.  I now feel like I have one of the most EPIC tattoos I've ever seen!

Been going to Tony for 9 years right before he even opened his own shop. I actually got my first tattoo from him and he's always been great at taking my concept and turning it into something that looks killer as a tattoo. I've lived in SF and now LA for the last 7 years and had work done by some of the best artists in these cities. Tony is just as talented, more experienced and probably even more diverse than any artist I've been to at some very well known shops. I always try to get in and get some work done when I visit home in Boise. Last time I saw him he gave me a very traditional piece from the infamous 'Flash From the Bowery' and it turned out perfect. Thanks Tony, you're the man. Read Less

A Minds Eye Tattoo is by far the nicest tattoo shop I've ever stepped foot in - Very professional and clean atmosphere. And, all of the artists showcase incredible work!I needed a cover-up tattoo and Kyle Miller was my artist. His great personality (along with talent) made him so easy to work with - fast too! When I left, not only did I leave with a perfect tattoo but an overall wonderful experience. Read Less
