Branded Bear Tattoo

Jane did a BEAUTIFUL job on my tattoo! She listened and it turned out exactly how I envisioned. She is very talented and obviously loves her trade! She was very easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and attentive. The shop has such a good vibe and super relaxing. I definitely will be back!

First time getting a tattoo from Ryan the shop owner (not my first tattoo). He is a super cool dude, really friendly, and a fantastic artist!Shop is really nice and very clean. Overall experience was great. Will definitely be coming back to get more work done.

The professionalism, quality, cleanliness and experience at this shop is outstanding. I knew I was getting a quality tattoo before even going, yet Ryan still blew my expectations out of the water. Looking forward to my next visit for sure.

Ryan did an absolutely amazing job. He got it done quickly and was able to fit it perfectly to my head. The line work is very precise and clean and I love it. I get so many compliments. I definitely suggest getting something done by Ryan.

This is the 2nd tattoo that Ryan has done for myself and my sister. Ryan is very amazing artist. As a neurodivergent person I felt very comfortable his own place he opened. Very calm and not busy overwhelming walls.Reminds me of a upscale speak easy meets tattoo. Very grown up. I didnt feel judged or rushed.I plan on going back for all my tattoos. I drive from Monterey, ca.I highly recommend 100%

Very professional, clean, and modern shop. We were a walk in and Ryan was there to help us and were in the chair in about 10 minutes. They have just set up their get what you get capsule machine and it is only 150 bucks for a decent sized tattoo (see pictures) The quality of the work is insane and I love it and was only in the chair for about 1 hour and 20 minutes! Will definitely be back to get more work done by Ryan and possibly gamble some more on the capsule tattoos!

I recently got a tattoo at Branded Bear and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The shop itself is super classy and inviting, with warm decor that made me feel comfortable right away. Jane, my artist, was fabulous—she was quick to respond to my messages, listened to my ideas, and created the perfect art nouveau inspired tattoo incorporating everything I wanted. The whole process was so easy and stress-free, and Janes attention to detail and artistic talent were truly impressive. Everything was incredibly clean and professional, which put me at ease. I’m absolutely in LOVE with my new tattoo and can’t wait to go back to Jane for my next one. If you’re looking for a top-notch tattoo experience, I highly recommend Branded Bear and especially Jane!

Edit on April 24th:Google does not allow me to have two reviews, but I just got done with another two tattoos by Ryan. He hit it out of the ballpark once again. He exceeded all my expectations. I can not say enough good things about him and his shop.Ryan is a true professional. His work is top notch and he cares about every single detail. Super stoked on my new piece from him and look forward to many more in the future. Super clean spot, good music, great conversation and even better tattoos.

Look no further! Excellent artist. Superb service. Quality shop. All you could want for your tattoo experience. Sent a photo and some descriptions for the design. Ryan had a draft ready when I arrived. Discussed a few minor changes. He had it touched up and got started in minutes. Takes care to put details down to the full extent of your desires. Highly recommend. Don’t overthink it - go see Branded Bear - you will be granted your wish for memorable, high quality permanent art!

This is the second time I’ve gotten a Tattoo from Ryan. The work was exceptional and I couldn’t be more happy with hour it turned out. Ryan is extremely professional and talented. If you’re debating getting a tattoo all you need to see are all the 5 star reviews for Branded Bear! Thanks again Ryan!

Amazing first time at this shop. Clean, professional, the vibes are awesome. I contacted Ryan on Instagram and he responded so quickly. I got a tattoo he was doing a special on and it was a seamless process from start to finish. I will definitely be back (they even have a get what you get capsule machine which I had my eye on)!

Great spot, clean, and highly professional. Ryan was awesome and did incredible work. I am loving my new tattoo. 10/10 would tattoo here again

Great experience! Ryan was professional and accommodating while still providing his expertise. He elevated my tattoo beyond what I was asking for. The shop has a clean, old school barbershop vibe which I appreciated. I’ll be back for sure and plan to recommend this spot to others!

This was my first tattoo in quite some time, my body freaked out but Ryan gave me the time to chill and we were able to continue and finish the tattoo. Excellent experience and I will be back. Thanks!

Came into branded tattoo and kinda new what I wanted but not really, was greeted by ryan and told him what I wanted to be incorporated into my tattoo. Ryan started sketching and came up with a perfect tattoo for me, incorporating everything I wanted. This was a walk in as well. Very polite people and ryan was an amazing artist. Shop is also very clean will be back and definitely recommend others!!!

So happy with my new tattoo! Ryan is an incredible artist and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire experience.

Ryan has done a few of my tattoos and absolutely does an incredible job every time! It’s so nice to have an artist that’s super talented, professional and clean. I can’t wait to get more done :) I highly recommend him and his shop!

Love this shop! Hands down the best, nice atmosphere, welcoming, cozy and very clean! Nick once again did an amazing job on a hard cover up I will be back again and again! Highly recommend!!

This tattoo shop is exceptionally clean and well-organized. The ambiance of the shop creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. My spouse and I had the privilege of meeting Ryan, the owner, who skillfully tattooed us. We opted for American traditional turtle designs that complemented each other. The tattoos are vivid with well-defined outlines. Thanks to the aftercare kits provided by Ryan, the healing process was effortless. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at this establishment, and it will remain my go-to tattoo shop. The dedication and attention to detail that Ryan demonstrated for each of us resulted in a truly enjoyable experience. Rated 5 out of 5.

Great experience for my first tattoo. Comfortable shop, nice artists, and great work. Thanks Jane, you did an excellent job.

GREAT experience and work!Walked in and the owner, Ryan, made an appointment for us for an hour later. We came in and he was already working on drawing up my tattoo!He completed it in no time and it is PERFECT! Love his style and this shop. Super clean and the aesthetic is unlike any other shop I’ve been to.I’ve found my tattoo artist!

Ryan has done several of my tattoos and I am very happy with them all. Awesome dude with an amazing talent. Will be going back in the future for more! Here’s just a couple of his pieces.

My husband got tattooed by Ryan and he was great!! He was so friendly and funny and had us laughing the entire time we were there. The other artist were friendly as well. The tattoo it self is beautiful and very well done. We look forward to getting more tattoos done by Ryan. If you’re in the Boise area definitely head into Branded Bear and see Ryan! 😊

Ill keep it simple. Great vibe, very clean, awesome people & gorgeous tattoos. Ive been tattooed by Nick, Ryan and Jane. I cant say enough great things. Im thrilled with their work. Chill & very professional.

My wife had Ryans son in her class last year. She told me about his shop since Ive been contemplating getting a tattoo for several years. We finally stopped in a couple weeks ago. Ryan helped us out and in a matter of minutes he had a design drawn up on his iPad. In about an hour and a half I was on my way with my first ink. I am beyond pleased! Ryan did an awesome job and his attention to detail is great. Beautiful shop and great follow up customer service.

Fantastic shop. Friendly staff. Jane was awesome. She was very professional and knowledgeable and provided the best after care info and experience I’ve ever seen. The guy I talked to on the phone was pleasant and helpful.The shop is well organized and looks great. Very cool and relaxed atmosphere. No typical tattoo shop douche-baggery at this shop. Don’t hesitate to go here or give them a call.

Got a piece done by Ryan recently and all I can say is WOW!I recently came into the shop for a cover-up, and I have to say it was one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve ever had. I was warmly welcomed by the guys, and the level of professionalism displayed was truly commendable.The shop itself is immaculate - clean, organized, and filled with a creative and inviting atmosphere. It’s evident that they take great pride in maintaining a top-notch environment for their clients.Ryan is an incredibly talented artist - his expertise and skills were evident from the start, and I felt completely at ease in his capable hands. The end result of my cover-up was beyond my expectations; and I couldn’t be happier with the piece he created.I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a positive and professional tattoo experience. Shoutout to Ryan for his exceptional work, I’ll definitely be back for more ink in the future.

Super great experience! Jane was awesome! Love the design! The vibe was awesome!

Awesome experience, Ryan was my tattoo artist and he did an amazing job. Definitely will be coming back to get more.

I have 6 tattoos by Ryan, every time I get a new one it’s a battle for which one is my favorite! He is truly an amazing artist & human being! Great to work with, communicates well, and always makes sure you get the best tattoo and experience possible. I refuse to let anyone else tattoo me, and so should you!

Impulsively, I walked into Branded Bear to inquire about making an appointment. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told that Gracey could do the tattoo that I was wanting, and could do it immediately, if I desired. I took a seat in a clean, beautiful shop and received a perfect tattoo. Gracey was very professional and took great care in getting the details right, on what some may consider a simple banner design. Would recommend over and over again!

Been going to Ryan for years always the greatest quality work! If you are in the market for a great tattoo definitely go to branded bear

The whole environment was amazing. A clean shoppe, a welcoming atmosphere, professional people, the whole nine! Sarah greeted me and talked me through how the shoppe works. Ryan made time to discuss my designs and worked with me quickly to come up with exactly what I wanted. Im still waiting to hear back from another shoppe on some pieces I now know Ryan is going to do for me. The pricing is worthwhile and ultimately fair. I have never had an experience like this at any other parlour or shoppe. If you have even a little bit of ink fever, these folks have the cure for sure. The place is awesome, the people are amazing, and the work is simply everything I could have asked for. Ryan is truly a professional of the highest calibur. A light touch, a quick hand, and an artistic vision that honestly and earnestly helped me express exactly what I wanted. This place and its people know whats good. Cheers and Thanks Branded Bear!

I love Ryan’s tattoos!! Traveled 6 and a half hours to get a tattoo from him HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Jane was amazing! I had an awkward place for a tattoo and she was very professional with figuring out the best size and angle to place it. I absolutely love my new tattoo and I plan to go back soon!

Branded bear Tattoo was incredible!! I got my first professional tattoo and they were super understanding and took amazing care of me!!

I have been to a lot of tattoo shops around the valley and this might top them all. Ryan the owner is super professional and kind and a wizard at tattooing. Every artist was incredible friendly and helpful and came up and introduced themselves to me while I got tattooed. Would highly recommend.

I highly recommend Ryan with Branded Bear Tattoo. I just got my first tattoo ever, and he was very kind, patient, and made me feel comfortable. He took time to change and adapt my drawing to get it just how I wanted. His shop is extremely clean and the chairs were super comfy. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommended.

I am happy to say that when I first walked in I was warmly greeted and didnt feel judged or uncomfortable. I love that they are able to take walk ins because I love spur of the moment tattoos. I absolutely love how clean it is inside and just the overall esthetic of the shop. I received my tattoo from Ryan and I am so happy with the entire experience. He let me talk the whole time to keep myself distracted from the needles digging into my skin over and over. Haha. I like how meticulous he is about after care and the open door if I ever have concerns or need help in the process of healing. I am so so happy with my little ghost kitty and bats and most definitely will be returning for more therapy/torture time. 😄

Just got my first tattoos ever with Jane and they all have been great experiences. I got my fathers signature and my son and I got quotes written in each others handwriting. She did a beautiful job and the shop is super sharp looking. Highly recommend Jane and this shop.

Jane is super nice and does an amazing job, I am coming back to get my whole thigh done!

Ryan is the man!!!! He did amazing and is so incredibly kind and professional. I will definitely be back 😊

Ryan did my very first real tattoo! It was such a great first experience. I went back again and had him do two butterflies for my baby sisters. They turned out so beautiful and were just what I wanted.

I had an amazing experience at branded bear! Getting my first tattoo could not have gone any smoother. Jane was very responsive, and professional throughout the entire process and even took the time follow up afterward with tips on caring for the new tattoo correct. Highly recommend Jane!!

My husband and I got a tattoo by Ryan as a walk-in for our 15yr anniversary spur of moment. He was great to work with he made a quick design for us to commemorate our 15th. Was a pleasure! Highly recommend the Branded Bear 🐻

Everything about my experience at Branded Bear was excellent! The shop was welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Ryan was fantastic, and I would recommend him and his work to anyone.

This is my 2nd tattoo from Nick. Very pleased with both. He takes your idea and puts his own twist to it that makes it so much better than I could imagine. He is very professional and listens to you. I would recommend him and go back to him for my next one.

Devyn gave me the best tattoo I’ve ever gotten in my life! Crazy amazing attention to detail, healed amazingly, it was exactly what I wanted!! 100000/10 would recommend him! One of the best artists in the whole valley! I love my dragons!

Ryan is great to work with. Comes to the table with excellent artwork and works up clean solid tattoos. Highly recommend!

Went to their flash event for Friday the 13th, they were a bit more popular than I think they were expecting but they were very nice and handled it well! I got mine done by Jane and I love it! Definitely plan on making an appointment in the future!

Great and easy to work with. Got exactly what I wanted and will definitely keep coming back to Ryan.

I got a Super Mario Bros tattoo done by Ryan C and I am absolutely in love with it! He is my #1 tattoo artist in Idaho. I highly recommend! Im looking forward to my next tattoo with him!

Ryan tattooed my wife and I and did a great job designing our tattoos and was really easy to talk to. The shop was really clean and his work has been awesome.

Ryan does great work! Was easy to communicate and coordinate with. He designed and tattooed this lovely autumnal lantern; one of my favorite pieces!

Jane did my tattoo, and she’s really good, has detail and good conversation, took her time, and made everything just like I wanted it! Thank you Jane!

Devyn showed me a digital render based on the concept I presented him and in my head I thought, no way man, that looks too good.Lo and behold the man is an artist in the highest sense of the word. His realism, attention to detail, and talent is amazing. He is truly one of the greats and is another one of Boises best kept secrets! Im so hype for the next sesh and to see the finished work.Oh by the way the Branded Bear is insanely clean, quiet, cozy, sick tunes, and a great place to get inked. Thanks friends!

The owner Ryan is an incredible artist who really caters to your interests. I highly recommend scheduling a session with him! Bring something fun!

Ryan is an amazing artist! He is able to take your idea and turn it into something better than you can ever image. He really cares about his art!

Ryan made my dream tattoo come to life. He has great conversations, a VERY clean shop, and a light hand I couldn’t be happier!

I just got a tattoo from Ryan, and the whole experience was amazing. Ryan was very nice and worked with my extreme pickiness, and I absolutely love the final result!

Ryan hooked me up with an epic black and gray tattoo, I really love the lettering, style, and his attention to detail. It came out perfect!

Great people, Great shop! Thank you to Jane, she’s a true talent!

I recently got tattooed by Jane and I highly recommend seeking her out- personable, friendly, talented and quick without sacrificing the quality of the tattoo. I will definitely be a return customer of Branded Bear!

I’ve had two tattoos done by Ryan in the past year and love them both! He’s always going to be my go-to tattoo artist!

Hands down the best shop in the treasure valley and you won’t find better artists anywhere else. I go to Nick Peterson for all my tattoos he is the best of the best! I don’t have enough good things to say about this shop!!

I got three tattoos on Ryan’s first day with the shop and it was a great time!! Dude has skills check him out!

Ryan did such a amazing job on my foot tattoo. I highly recommend this shop. The atmosphere and vibes were amazing.

Got this beautiful candle from a random design dispensing gum-ball machine inside the shop. Odds being fairly good, cuz each design inside the machine was just correct. 10/10 shop full of great artists.

Devyn is awesome to work with! Sat for 5 plus hours for my beautiful syringa flowers. The details are on point. I love it just as much today as the day I got it.

Ryan just gave me my biggest and longest tattoo and it’s amazing… also super cozy and clean in the shop 5/5

Ryan is an amazing artist that takes time with his clients to make sure they understand the process. Would definitely go back to him!

Took my friend and I as walk-ins and worked with us and our budget to get matching tattoos to mark our amazing holiday.Friendly, professional and perfectly executed.

Ryan designed a beautiful butterfly for me that have the birth colors of my grandchildren. Could not be happier with my first tattoo.

Rad space! Ryan did a great job and I definitely recommend this place. If I’m ever back in town, I’ll be back!

Ryan is on point!! He makes sure you get the greatest possible version of what you want. His line work is second to none.

Ryan did the cover of nightmare by avenged sevenfold for me and it was amazing. Cant wait to go back and get it colored.
