I am in complete awe of Erin and her talent. I have now gotten the best tattoo ever! It is a portrait of my dog. She took a lot of time making sure it was perfect before we started. She took her time and I am completely proud of having it! Thank you Erin for making this special tattoo. Read Less

As a present to myself for turning 40, I decided to get my first tattoo, and I wanted to do it while I was on Christmas vacation visiting my family in Twin Falls. (I currently reside in Las Vegas.) I had initially made my appointment with another business for Wednesday morning, but that fell through at the last minute, and I was forced to scour Yelp for other tattoo parlors that would be willing to take a walk-in. (I had already purchased tickets for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" at 3:30 and, thus, needed to get my ink done in less than 2 1/2 hours.)I finally landed at Black Cat Tattoo. Travis Campion took my phone call, and he assured me he could have me in and out in a couple hours. I emailed him a picture of what I wanted, and when I arrived ten minutes later, he already had a drawing prepared. (I'm a Super Mario Bros fan, and I chose an image of Mario riding Yoshi.) Travis started working on my right bicep around 12:30 and was done by 2:45. And while I was prepared for the pain, I was pleasantly surprised that the amount and duration of pain was well within tolerable levels.I was very pleased overall with my experience at Black Cat, and with Travis in particular. He gave clear instructions for the care of my tattoo and invited me to call him anytime with questions. His price was also fair and reasonable for the size and amount of time involved. The artwork and ink were very well done, and my friends and family have given praise as well. For my first - and probably only - tattoo, I'm very happy I ended up with Travis and Black Cat Tattoo!

I cannot recommend Black Cat Tattoo enough. Sean was professional, super nice, and clearly very knowledgeable about his craft. Not only was he incredibly flexible to accommodate my schedule, he did an excellent job on the sibling tattoos my brother and I got which were essentially all line work. Sean also touched up a tattoo I had gotten earlier this summer from a shop in Virginia that didn't quite look the way I wanted. All in all, Sean is great, the shop is great. I will be traveling from Virginia to Boise the next time I'm itching for some ink. Read Less

I love going to black cat. Travis does awesome work. I've referred 3 other people to him and we all agree, he's wonderful. My first tattoo by Travis was over 2 years ago and it still looks like I've had it for 6 months. He is passionate about his artwork and it shows. The quality is worth the pain, as he goes hard to make each line perfect. Very minimal to no touch-ups needed as a result. Travis is also very educated not only in the tattoo industry, but in painting and fine art as well. He comes up with the most beautiful ideas, and is willing to redo multiple sketches until it's perfect. He is very respectful and professional. Would recommend him any day. Read Less

Sean is absolutely amazing. He will definitely be my new choice tattoo artist. I was just done by him and I'm so far in love with my new piece. His line work is so stunning words can't describe. He makes you feel so comfortable especially when an area may be more tender than others and you're flinching from pain. I will most definitely be returning. Read Less

I need a tattoo covered up on my finger. My artist was Travis. He was professional and the tattoo looks amazing. He also had great ideas for another cover up I need. I would highly recommend this place. Read Less

Fantastic experience; Sean worked with me for several months perfecting the design to ensure it was exactly what I wanted, and I am totally in love with what he came up with. Super proud to have it on my arm! Read Less

My daughter has all her gorgeous work done by Sean so,of course, he's who I saw. He was just as wonderful as she said he was. I am so picky and indecisive. Sean was patient and kind. What I liked most was his honesty!!!! If he didn't agree he'd say so and explain why. That's huge to me. Thanks for your kindness and patience. Most of all, thank you for the wonderful tattoo!!! I see why Dani values you. Read Less

The experience was fantastic. I got a tattoo done by Erin, she was fantastic. Made me feel comfortable during the whole tattoo which is big for me. Very relatable. Not to mention the art work done by them and that's in the shop is amazing! I'm going back soon to get more. I will travel to the next state to get another tattoo done by them. Read Less

Moved to Boise area 15 years ago, and I needed to find a new tattooist. Walked in and talked with Sean for a bit. Since then I've never been tattooed at any other shop. He's now the only person that tattoos myself or my wife, and I recommend the shop to anyone that asks. One thing I really appreciate is that Sean will tell you straight up if something won't be a good idea in the long run.Read Less

These guys rock your tats! We have been going to Sean for 20+ yrs, his team is the best. Erin (sp) is my sons favorite, they are professional and do not pull any punches, they tell you everything you ask.... If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would!! Read Less

Are you even kidding me. This is the best shop in town. I have gotten several tats at this place and all from Travis. He is the the best. We started off small and this last one was a big one with tons of color and i am so happy with the results. Travis is a pro. He's super chill and will work with you on what you want. He took what I wanted and gave it exactly to me the way I wanted. It's beautiful and I'm so happy I found this guy and this shop. Read Less

I'm 48 years old and just got my first ink last week.  I'd been thinking about it for more than a year, but finally got serious.  I started by checking yelp.com for local artists.  I read a few reviews, even messaged one other Yelp user and settled on Black Cat.  I stopped in at about 11:30 on a Friday morning.  The shop is in an old strip mall storefront at about 31st & State.  My assumptions about tatt shops were not disappointed, as there were s couple of guys there, one getting a sleeve worked on when I went in.  They looked tough and gruff. The art samples on the wall are what  lot of people (mostly those not familiar with the vast array of styles out there) would expect.  Skulls, flames, busty dames.. nothing cutesy, nothing speaking to the recent generations of women (not unlike myself) seeking sweet, sparkly art.   After I stood around for a few moments Travis asked if he could help me.  I fessed up to being a first timer, and showed him on my phone the image I had in mind (yeah, it's Hello Kitty.. sue me.. LOL).  He looked at it, and told me it would take about an hour.  I asked if he had time that day to do it, and I think he was kind of surprised.  He told me to come back in an hour.  I'm fairly certain he was surprised when I came back.  To the point that I don't think he'd sketched out the image and considered mixing ink.  So I chilled (literally.. damn it was cold in there) in some old school seating, going between my phone and Kindle keeping busy.    I filled out the consent form quickly, and read until Travis was ready for me. Travis applied the temporary image of my tatt to my arm, and I used a mirror to look at it.  Thankfully I brought up a color issue, or I'd have more pink than I like.  Hopefully that was a note to Travis to be sure he asks again before getting started, but it's not a bad reflection on him. The tables they use for us canvases to chill on are high, and slippery. I'm 5'7" and had to hop a bit and pull (wearing yoga pants) my obese frame onto the table with some finesse to keep from sliding right back off, but once I was there all was good.  A lot of the reviews I read about shops mentioned the kind of music they play, I was kind of turned off by the word 'metal' in one of them.  I was VERY happy to find that the guys at Black Cat play a good mix of music.. I sure as hell wasn't wanting Celine Dion, nor did I expected it.. which is GOOD because there WASN'T any (LOL).  My ink is on my left bicep, yes.. it's Hello Kitty.. and I love it!   People ask me if it hurt, pain is relative.  I'm telling people that it was rather like a continual vibrating flu shot.. with just a couple of spots where I found myself needing to breathe deep.  No tears from this chick though.  Did I pay a lot?  I think some would say I did, but I firmly believe every word I've ever heard from those who do ink art, and those who receive it.  YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.  I have no fear whatsoever that my ink will remain anything less than amazing.  I plan to go back, as soon as I get another image in my head that I can't erase.  You are never too old to express yourself,  besides being normal is boring as hell.  Live your life, love who you are, and laugh your ass off at every opportunity.   Travis Campion at Black Cat Tattoo will do your proud with his artwork.

I went to Black Cat with a girl friend of mine and we got pierced by Jake 7. My friend got her nose pierced and I got a dermal on may back, and the two of us couldn't be happier! The piercings look FANTASTIC and Jake made us both feel really comfortable! My friend was pretty nervous about getting her nose done, but he did a great job making her feel comfortable and safe with him. We would highly recommend Black Cat for any piercings! I know we'll definitely be going back to see Jake one day soon :) Read Less

I wanted a large side piece for my birthday so my husband called around to a few shops with good reviews and never got a response from any of them. I looked up and found black cat tattoos and decided to call and get a consult. I got one right away with mike who was awesome. He was so nice and so professional and the shop was very clean. Mike did my tattoo and it looks fantastic. My husband hates tattoos and he loves how it turned out. I recommend black cats tattoo for everyone especially first time tattoos because of how comfortable they make you feel.  I will have all my work done with mike. Read Less

First off I want to say I really enjoy the vibe of this shop, the artists are all very professional, not intimidating.  I would be what one would refer to as a tattoo novice, never had a preference on shops or artists in the past.  After my experience at Black Cat, I won't be going to any other shop for future work!  The place is clean, again not intimidating, and the artists are all very skilled.

Sean Wyatt did an amazing tattoo for me!  He is very creative and he took my ideas and made them into an incredible tattoo..i am extremely happy with my experience and will definately come back for more.. Read Less

I went to Sean Wyett for my first tattoo. I was referred to him and I was very impressed. I have heard many different things about what to expect for a first tattoo. He was very kind and had great bedside manner as I was extremely nervous. I am very pleased with how the tattoo came out and I am even more pleased by the experience all around. If I ever get more tattoos I won't go anywhere else but to Sean at Black Cat Tattoo! Read Less

I have been going to Sean Wyett at Black Cat for around 5 years now and nine tattoos later i will never go to another artist. First and foremost his art is top notch and his lines are always strong. Second, no one in the shop has either the stuck up attitude or chip on their shoulder. Always a great enviornment and i stop by even when i'm not getting tattooed. Read Less
