By far my favorite shop in Martinsburg. It’s easy to find with street parking and the meters are not expensive. It’s also in a good side of downtown Martinsburg. Inside the shop is very clean and comfortable. Kim Taylor is such a talented, caring, easy going and professional tattoo artist. Every design i bring to her, she turns into something personal and unique which i love. She’s always open to whatever ideas i want, whether it’s a big or small tattoo or if it’s black and grey or full color. She makes me feel comfortable from the time i walk in, all throughout my tattoo (as comfortable as possible while being poked with a needle) until I’m walking out the door. Especially for my rib tattoos, when i was worried about being exposed, she kept it super chill and professional and took any extra measures to make sure i wasnt exposed to the world. And her prices are always reasonable. You know for the price you pay, the work will be amazing! So big thank you to Kim for all the hard work and time you have put into tattooing my body. I’m nowhere near done and i can’t wait for my next one! Read Less

I have been getting tattooed by Kim Taylor since 2014 and her work amazes me every single time. Boomtown is a very clean shop, organized, sterile and in a great location. I have seen work done by the other artist who works at Boomtown, Traci, and her work is just as amazing. Both artists are exceptional! Read Less

Have known Traci for YEARS and finally last year I got a tattoo from her.. then went back for another a few months later. I WILL NEVER LET ANYONE ELSE TATTOO ME, as long as she continues to tattoo. AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A TRUE ARTIST Read Less

The low ratings sound completely bogus. First of all, Traci would never slap someone's tattoo and say congrats....to all who know Traci (and Evelyn), their personalities are calm and quiet, which is very conducive to their work environment/product. Additionally, the person who said they weren't allowed to see the work of the female tattoo artist, well, if they opened their eyes, portfolios are neatly placed in binders by year on a table by the seating in the shop. Convenient and practical. Traci is a fabulous tattoo artist who took an idea I had and turned it into a real piece of art. It's stunning. She has also done a cover-up and an original piece for my husband. She's completely professional and CLEAN -- and by clean, I mean her practice and her shop itself. Read Less

Traci does amazing work. My guess on those low ratings is... well, one didn't even GET a tattoo, so how does that qualify as a rating? The other just doesn't sound like Traci at all. She's very laid back and quiet (which is fine by me because she's FOCUSED on creating great work), but friendly... I'm guessing someone out there is trying to pull the 5-star rating she deserves, down. My husband and I each got our first AND second tattoos from Traci for my 40th birthday a few years ago.. the first ones I did my own drawing and she happily agreed to use them. She did a great rendition of my work. Our second time, we told her the subject matter and let HER creativity shine. We love our tattoos, and our experiences at Boomtown have been great. No one else will put artwork on our bodies as long as Traci continues to tattoo. Read Less

I have known Traci for a few years now and she is now the only person who will be doing any tattoo's on my body. She is a very talented artists. I love that I give her an idea and she draws it up so perfect and beautiful.Read Less

The reviews I read here are surprising to me. Definitely not the shop my wife, oldest daughter, and I know and love. Treatment from Owner/Artist Traci and staff has been nothing but great and they have always worked with us for each visit. In the years we have been getting work done here Traci has never even had an Old Dude working for her. Here are my thoughts and I'm pretty sure some of the thoughts of a lot of her other clients as well.Owner/Artist Traci is very easy going and very talented. I have taken my thoughts and ideas into her for several peices. She helped me design my tattoos into even better works of art than I even imagined when I put them on paper and brain stormed them with her. She expanded them to make them one of a kind with the perfect coloring, shading, fine lines, and details I pictured in my head and brought them out on my skin just like I wanted and hoped for. My wife, oldest daughter and I have all put our trust in Traci for great peices and will continue to visit her when we are ready for something original and new knowing we will have one of the best artists around. I recommend anyone wanting a person skilled in their profession with a great attitude to go along with it and the willingness to get your thoughts and designs just right for you before applying the tattoo go visit Traci at Boomtown Tattoo in Martinsburg, WV.

Had two tattoo's so far done here. Traci is spot on with her work, awesome cover up's and wonderful colors, and designs. I would recommend her to anyone, well have recommended her, to both my brother, sister, father, ect Read Less

The first tat I got from this parlor was awesome, the guy that did it was easy quick and friendly. I had such an awesome time the first time I went I went back for another tat. This time however when i requested the same guy I was told by an old dude that he wasn't there anymore and i would have to see someone else. I asked to see examples of the other artists work and the guy got offended and from that point on was short with me. I figured if asking to see examples of tattoos this other artist has done was enough to make him angry then there was a good chance I wasn't going to get a decent price or decent service. So I walked out and took my business somewhere else. Read Less

I recently visited this establishment. The outside of the building looks great but inside is a mess dirt and buildup in corners and windows...i was greated by a scary looking guy who started laughing and saying i was so small he was going to tattoo my bones...i said i wanted someone else to do my tattoo and he cursed me finally someone else took me back to the back and did my tattoo the lady that did it didnt talk to me at all and when she finished my tat she slapped it really hard and said congragulations i dont suggest going here....over priced, dirty, and the employees are rude Read Less

the ink in my tattoo fell out shortly after I had it done by this women! It didnt even make it all the way through the healing process and now this parlor is telling me its my fault and they refuse to fix it? what kind of place is this? grrrrr I did everything I was told to do and now look where Im at:( Read Less
