Talon Tattoo Co

I really cant put into words how much I love this shop! The owners are not only super down to earth but, are some of the most down to earth people youll ever meet!As piercing goes, Heidi is and always be MY Girl!! Her peaceful demeanor and soft calming voice is exactly what I need in a piercer! Long story short, I freaking love this shop! I always recommend them!

Heidi was super professional, knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. She was thoroughly disinfecting everything she used on me. She took time to measure the correct placement of my second nostril piercing so that they were even. I recommend her services! She was awesome!! Thank you and I will be back!

Its been a while but I got my first tattoo here (2017 I think)! 💖If I remember correctly I think I got my tattoo done by Pete! I still love the tattoo! I wish I could come back to get another but sadly I dont live in Idaho anymore. :(

I have been searching for a piercer for a while and ever since I’ve found Talon I haven’t considered going elsewhere! I’ve gotten a rook, flat, and Tragus and they’ve all healed wonderfully! Heidi does a great job, she’s super quick but never is rushed. She makes sure every client is well informed on what is happening and on aftercare. She is very knowledgeable when answering questions. Talon is so great I’ve brought four people since I started going and always recommend when I’m asked.

Pete is the nicest and most sympathetic tattoo artist Ive ever had. Over the years Ive gone to a lot of tattoo artists and I always find myself coming back to Pete because of his wonderful customer service, kindness, and his artist work. Pete is someone I could get lost in conversation with while being tattooed and I know his work would be fantastic still. I could never multi-task like that, I dont think many people can, its amazing. Hes so thoughtful and informative on the aftercare as well, which is very important to me. The piercer here is so kind, although Ive never been pierced by her, watching her work is very calming. She always communicates what shes doing and makes sure her clients are as comfortable and informed as possible about what is going on before and while the piercing is being done. She never makes anyone feel guilty for their nervousness or their natural body reactions, and instead reassures them in the kindest way possible. This place checks every single one of my boxes. Thanks so much for a great experience every time I come in!

$120 for a 2 hour embarrassment of a tattoo, inked by ‘Jordan’.I would give a zero if I could just because of one artist. To allow a talentless artist to permanently ink people is immoral. Their newest female employee charged me $120 for this tattoo that I had to go to another artist to fix (Shout out to Daggers!) The picture of the honey pot emoji is next to what she had the audacity to tattoo on me, the second picture is the fixed tattoo I had to go to another artist for. I couldn’t even ask for a free touch up by the same artist (Jordan) because of how bad it turned out in the first place. The tattoo shop itself is great and there are many fantastic artist there but if one of your artist can’t even make a honey pot they shouldn’t be there in the first place.

The owner was very good at calming me while I got a Daith piercing. At couple months later, I got them switched. Even though I obviously had keloids forming on my ears, she didn’t say anything. Now I have to pack my ears with an aspirin and tea tree oil paste to help the bumps go down. This is by far the most painful experience I have ever had in my life.

I worked with Pete and he was very talented, patient and loads of fun! He made getting my tattoo easy. I will always trust the people at Talon Tattoo.

Had an awesome experience and love that this shop is open late! If Im ever in the state of Idaho again I will be sure to stop by for another piercing or maybe a tattoo!

The piercer is amazing! She makes me feel so safe each time and always does an incredible job. Can’t recommend her enough.

Went in for a walk in piercing and they actually found that the hole was still open so just charged me for jewlery! Probably the nicest people Ive experienced especially for walk in at a tattoo shop. Highly recommend!

Tiffany and John are amazing. At this point I have gotten countless hours of work done and consider them family. Love the shop and would recommend the wait to anyone.P.S.Good tattoos aren’t cheap, cheap tattoos aren’t good.

Greatest tattoo shop Ive ever been to amazing art work perfect customer satisfaction amazing staff makes me feel welcome and confident in the tattoo I want doesnt pressure me into something Im not into hands down the best shop in town in my opinion

Heidi was absolutely lovely! She pierced my mom, my sister and my helix! We love our new additions and I can’t wait to recommend her to others! Thank you so much!

Heidi is amazing at piercing! I had previously had my upper ear cartilage pierced and it was always sore and irritated so I gave up. I decided to try again a few years later and I am so glad I found Heidi. She did a double piercing and it was the easiest healing I have ever had. It looks great and she really knows her stuff, particularly sanitation. Great, friendly shop atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Amazing! I think I finally found my shop. I have never had an easier piercing that took so well! Almost painless, even had me giggling. I have had such a bad history with piercings rejecting only a day or two after being done but this time, the piercing itself was so easy and feels amazing afterwards! Heidi did such a great job and she listened to my concerns/questions about care, the type of metal, and history without dismissing me like others have. She was very informative and helpful with aftercare and I will be coming back for future piercings thanks to my friends referral! Feels like money well spent and worth it 😁

Went in to get my 9 year old niece’s ear lobes pierced for her birthday, as well as a helix for my sister and a conch for me. Lucas took care of us and was amazing! Super clean, super thorough, and very friendly. Definitely would recommend anyone come here for piercings!

As most reviews say the place is very clean and the staff is extremely friendly. However The tattoo I received is not what I wanted or what the artist (I saw Pete) told me they could do. I showed the picture with the quote and told him I wanted a tattoo to look as realistic as possible without the quote or man; almost like a photo. I also suggested making it a blood moon as I like more color in tattoos. What i got looks like a comic book panel. He did not really study the piece prior to putting it on my skin, he traced the outline and missed that there were shadows on the moon itself entirely. Objectively the piece is well done. However it is not realism which is what I was told he could do. I mistakenly did not ask to see reference work prior to my appointment, be sure you do. Pete is a wonderful artist, perhaps this just wasnt his style of art work; he should have turned me away if that was the case.

I got a dermal piercing done in February. Absolutely amazing people and super clean atmosphere. Heidi is absolutely amazing and super sweet! She has gone over and beyond to help me with any issues and she is a great piercer!!! I HIGHLY recommend her and Talon Tattoo!! If I could Id give more than 5 stars I would!!!! Thank you!

Took my 18 year old here to get her snakebites. Shed chosen this shop based on reviews - she chose well. The piercer was very informative and caring. I would definitely return for piercings here!

Went and had my bellybutton re pierced.I was sent by one of my girlfriends to go there and talk to Heidi about getting it redone. I absolutely loved Heidi. I highly recommend going and talking to Heidi for any piercing that you want done, She will take great care of you.

UPDATE Went back in saw Heidi and she did an amazing job! I wasn’t charged again to have my ear re pierced. I’ll be back!Went in around 2 today to get 2 lobe piercings. When the dots were marked they looked good after she pierced them one looked close to my other piercing. She immediately said our body symmetry is not exact on each side which I agree. But once I got home and looked I can tell the mark was slightly higher then where she pierced. I called to see what to do they said I can take it out wait a month and come back and pay another $50. I said even though it was their error the lady then said yes unfortunately. Well unfortunately I wont be back and Ill let everyone know to avoid them for piercing needs.

John was great. It was my first tattoo and Iwas getting my moms ashes in it, so it was a very emotional experience. He made me feel very comfortable from day one, and his art work is amazing. I just had him draw up my next tattoo. Hes booked out 5 months, but worth the wait.

A great experience from start to finish. I can repeat everything that most other reviews have mentioned: clean environment, friendly and professional artists, and fair pricing. Lucas did a conch ear piercing for me and was so kind, gentle, and informative with each step. Ten minutes in and out, but not rushed one bit. Highly recommend!

We brought my 9-year old twin girls in today to get their ears pierced for the first time. We had an awesome experience. Lucas helped us. He was really friendly and did great explaining everything to my girls. He gave great after care advice and let us know that we could reach out to them afterwards if we had any questions. Everyone there was super nice and the shop was really clean.

I had an emotional tattoo placed onto my left inner forearm done by Jordynn. She took digital pictures I sent of a beloved dog and turned it into a simple and touching fine line tattoo. Upon her completion, I was tearing up from the emotions it brought out. She is skilled and gentle and has a great bedside manner. I felt heard and taken care of the whole process. I am returning next month for her to correct a tattoo done years back by someone less skilled, and I am so excited to see Jordynn again.

I’ve gotten a couple piercings by Lucas and he always does such an amazing job I always love how they turn out! He makes the process very comforting and easy. This place is definitely my go to, I highly highly recommend them!!

Got my helix pierced here a week ago. Lucas was awesome! He walked me through the entire process. He was very considerate and supportive too. The piercing itself went very smoothly and was done super fast. He sanitized everything which was reassuring to see. He also gave me a thorough aftercare rundown and advice for what to do if certain things happen, which I really appreciated. The place is nice and bright and the people are super friendly. Will come here again for future piercings!

Got both my girl’s ears pierced here they did an incredible job . My girls were ages 4 when we did it because they asked to get them. They did amazing with them. We got my oldest daughters nose pierced here as well she got both sides done and they did amazing as well. Ive also got three tattoos here myself and every tattoo i have got ive loved. Highly recommend this place. Their team they have there is amazing as well.

When I went in to talk about what I wanted and make an appointment, Heidi and Dan were the epitome of excellent customer service. Heidi gave me all the piercing info I needed and Dan really listened to my idea and vision for covering a cross on my hand. The day of my appointment was awesome! Dan was super dedicated to a safe and clean environment and was chill and funny as bonuses! My idea changed from our initial appointment and he rolled with it and created a gorgeous tat that I’m absolutely in love with. The rapport between everyone in the shop is so fun and comfortable. The safety level and cleanliness of the shop is impeccable. I got a few piercings after my tat and Heidi heard me mention I tend to swell and she made sure my initial stud had plenty of room in order to heal properly. She was very concerned with my comfort and was professional and safe. I will definitely be making this my home shop and trusting them with my canvas. Thanks so much everyone!!!

John is very good. He did my first tattoo and people works there are amazing. ❤️ going back for more tattoo in the future. 😊

Great atmosphere. The staff there are fun and talk you through everything. They explain what and how they are going to do it and ask your opinions. They are not pushy or demanding which makes it a great place for first timers.The pricing is really good. It can be a bit expensive but you are coming in for a thing that lasts forever and sometimes you gotta spend a little more for the best quality. The detail and thorough jobs they do is worth it in the end.There quality is outstanding. From the details of a small tattoo to even a big one. They know what they are doing and are good at it.The piercings are done well. They talk you through it and unlike other places try to handle you with the best care they can as to not hurt you.I highly recommend them and I will be back.

Theyve been helping us for several months to do a really nice tattoo we havent actually done the tattoo yet will post pictures of the tattoo when done

We went today to get my 17 year old daughters nose pierced. Heidi was about as professional, kind, empathetic, and reassuring as you would want someone in her position to be. It was an A+ experience: clean, clear, quick, no-nonsense. Great value. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you, Heidi for a great experience.-- Cool mom

Hands down one of the best tattoo shops Ive been into. Nice and clean, lots of light, great open space layout and extremely friendly staff. Everyone always has a smile on their face and are amazing when it comes to offering information and speaking with you about tattoos piercings or whatever you need. Everyone that works there is super knowledgeable and is really really willing to work with you. I absolutely love it Ive received quite a few tattoos and piercings from this parlor, and I will continue to get plenty more

Awesome artists, reasonable pricing, very clean and friendly atmosphere. Great place to get inked!

Highly recommend this place! I went in to get my septum pierced and the guy who helped me was incredible. He talked me through everything before he did it and it was super easy and painless. I can’t remember his name but he had really cool gold round glasses.

I have been going there since it opened. I knew the artists even before that. They have been absolutely wonderful about helping me on my self illustrating journey! I would not let anyone else do the work I am continually getting to finish my whole body project. John and Tiff are very special to me. They are like my extended family!!! The whole crew at Talon is wonderful! Because they are so awesome they are very busy but well worth the wait!!

Hands down the best tattoo parlor! Ive gotten several tattoos from this shop and I love them all. They arent just a shop they are a family and if you go to them youre treated like family. They have fair pricing and their work is beautiful! Me and my kids have gotten piercings as well from this shop and they were all done right, they loved going there. Me and my kids love the staff. If want tattoos, piercings, laughs, and a good time I say go here!

John & Tiffany both deserve 10/10!!Had an appt for tattoos with my son for his 18th bday. John worked with each of us to adjust the size and placement of our designs and was fabulous during the tattoo process. My son had a bit of a hiccup and Tiffany was right there to assist.Well return soon to finish my sons tattoo & I may be working on another.Thanks for a great 1st tattoo experience!

Love the atmosphere; you walk in and are instantly treated like family. John has done 3 of my tattoos, one of which was a cover up from a different shop, and they are all amazing. I get several compliments on how great the colors turn out. I also had my daith pierced here and continue to have the jewelry changed out by them. Overall they do a fantastic job. I highly recommend.

We had just had a horrible experience at another local shop and talon got us in quickly and they were extremely professional and clean! I took my daughter and her best friends to get their ears pierced for her birthday. The friends mom met us there. The piercer was very gentle and kind to the kids! Thank you for providing such a great and kind atmosphere for kids!

John is awesome!!! I have gotten a few tattoos from him. He never disappointed me. When family comes from out of town and we want to squeeze in, he is always accommodating. Everyone there is so friendly and makes it very comfortable.I need to get more ink soon.

Never got back after months about consultation. Went in to talk concept, had been told 12 weeks, well after that timeframe, heard nothing back, contacted again, no one had even looked into starting concept art. Lack of communication and no movement forward after 7 months.

I have been tattooed here several times and have had the best experience every time, without fail. Each tattoo and piercing I have gotten here have been perfect and very high quality. The environment here is amazing and John and Tiff make you feel extremely comfortable and treat you like family. I have never been welcomed anywhere the way that I have at Talon and it will always be my only place to get tattooed and pierced.Highly, highly recommend.

My 11 year old son got his ears pierced at Talon Tatoo. The staff was very friendly and professional. He explained everything he did in detail so my son would be at ease.(he was a little nervous) They did a great job!I would highly recommend.

Walked-in for a nose piercing, they were very welcoming and were able to the process going right away. Lucas was my piercer and he did an outstanding job, he took about 47 measurements to make sure the new piercing would match the other nostril piercing; doing his due diligence. Super calm and relaxed environment and experience. Highly recommend coming here.

I searched for -years- to find a shop with a truly positive environment and beautifully creative souls that really listened to what I wanting... John and Tiffany were absolutely worth the wait. I word vomited some weirdly specific ideas at Tiffany, trusted her artistry, and ended up with exactly what I wanted only better! I healed faster than my first tattoo (which I got elsewhere) and the colors are stunning. I am immensely grateful for such beautiful work and am undoubtedly getting another tattoo from them!

Heidi was an amazing person. My friend went to get her nose pierced and she is normally very nervous about these things, Heidi was super attentive and patient and talked her through EVERYTHING, she definitely knew what she was doing and my friend had a great experience and so did I just from talking to her. 100% recommend!

Had my nose pierced here and was super impressed by how Heidi handled it. My nose was a challenge since I had it pierced multiple times prior, so the scar tissue was somewhat difficult to get through. She nailed it though and it looked great! The shop is clean and everyone is super nice! Absolutely recommend!

I have had Heidi do my last recent piercings and she is amazing! Im sure the other ones are really great as well. I was sketchy at first about going to a tattoo parlor, but Im so excited and 100% glad I came here. Everyone is welcoming and litterly wonderful. They give amazing advice on taking care of new piercings, and they are very gentle. Thank you for having such an amazing crew that does amazing work. You have an amazing company and great crew members! I will for sure be coming here in the future for any piercings or tattoos. Thank all of you for a great experience! Woohoo!

I have gotten both of my current tattoos done here, and I plan on getting more done here. The place is awesome! John and Tiff are so friendly, and the facility is clean. John is a genuine guy that takes a real interest in the story and reasoning behind my tattoos while Im getting them. These guys are also very fairly priced! Im definitely going to Talon Tattoo for any tattoos I have done in Idaho!

LITERALLY MY SAFE HAVEN FOR TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS. I have never ever been disappointment in the service, care, and quality of John, Pete, Heidi, and Tiffany! It is always a welcoming professional environment with a great price point. I only trust the people in this shop to alter my body as ive had no great experiences in he valley like I do here! I work in the mall and any time somebody comes in and asks where to go for piercings (happens a lot) I will only refer them to Talon. Its such a fun, artistic, and welcoming environment. Every thing is top notch sterilized, and Heidi (piercer) is always so amazing about new piercings and switching mine out for me. Heidis jewelry and piercings never hurt me and they heal amazingly, mine have never been infected! John, Pete, and Tiffany are also such talented tattoo artists that will really plan and create a master piece tattoo for you. I can never stop showing mine off! Love it here highly recommend!!!

We went in to get a cartilage piercing for my daughter for her 15th birthday. Lucas was our piercer. He was nice, professional, and took the time to explain everything to her from the jewelry, the procedure, to the aftercare. No surprises, he explained in detail and took his time. I would highly recommend him.The shop was clean and everyone was super friendly.Remember to bring an id with your childs birthdate or age because it is a state requirement, plus your ID as the parent.(Her ear is a little red as we just did it, but we love it!)

I have to say that this is by far the friendliest bunch of artists. They are professional, have major talent, clean shop, and make you feel.like family. The master piercer is over the top amazing with all her work and aftercare. The tattoos artists and owners take pride in being the best. After 20 years of tattoo work done, I still keep coming back to Talon Tattoo because the art and overall experience are not found anywhere else.

Got my first tattoo here in April, John did amazing. They fit me in before my appointment. Then I recently got my nose pierced there and it looks awesome she did a great job! I barely even felt it. Super clean and professional. Way better than the place I got my belly button pierced.

Peter was amazing! I love my two tattoos that he did for me! (my mom also loves the one she got from him as well)! These pictures are only about 40 minutes after I got them done! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be going back!

Ive been going to Talon Tattoo for at least 12 years. I wouldnt trust anyone else to give me such a high quality tattoo. The shop is always incredibly clean and the atmosphere is Inviting and fun. I love Big John, Tiff, and the rest of the crew. 10/10 would recommend!!

I have a total of 18 piercings and Tiara has done 14 of them and the apprentice Mike has done 2. They do a really good job. I have had NO problems with any of them. I also got a tattoo at another place and they did a really really bad job and Tiffany completely fixed it and has done a really good job for a really reasonable price! I love everyone that works here!

I had a GREAT experience at Talon Tattoo! This was my first tattoo, and Dan talked me through the process and made me feel comfortable the entire time. Not only was this my first tattoo, but it is one I have dreamed of having for many years and it was executed perfectly! Dans attention to detail blew me away and I couldnt recommend him enough. (And if you read this, Dan, it was awesome to get to know you and I wish you all the best!)

I love the owners so much! When you walk in you feel like family. The vibes are so welcoming and comfortable. They are so talented and are true artists with a heart for what they do. I highly recommend Talon Tattoo and we are lucky to have them here in the Valley. Thank you guys💕

Heidi was awesome with my daughter!! She explained everything and was so professional!! When we need another piercing we will go back to her!!!

Talon Tattoo has such an amazing tattoo environment. They truly make it a very caring and welcoming environment. They take their time to really get to know their clients and treat them like family. The crew makes the experiance of getting a tattoo so much fun. They do amazing work. John and Tiffany are my familys Favorite. You will always be greeted with with a smile and constant laughter. Thank you

I went in for a consultation and immediately was welcomed and felt comfortable. The atmosphere is so friendly and the staff was very professional. They had some time available and I was able to get my tattoo immediately. It came out perfect and exactly how I wanted it!! I definitely recommend this shop and will be back again for my next tattoo.

Great place, great atmosphere, clean needles, top shelf ink, had tons of fun. John is a cool guy and loves his job. He got me in quickly, did great work, and introduced me to everyone who came in to make me feel comfortable. First tattoo was a success. I will be a returning client!

I have been to many piercing locations, however this one stands out the most. Every staff member is extremely nice and welcoming. Everyone is so comforting when they perform their job which is highly appreciated when someone is puncturing a hole in you. The pricing is also very cheap for the quality that you get. Definitely my choice location!

Truly amazing. Pete is a fantastic artist. Patient, Funny, and super informative. He bent over backwards to help my fiance and I make our wedding tattoos a reality. The work and attention to detail truly blew me away. All the artists in the shop made us feel like family while we were there. I can honestly say I wont go to a different tattoo parlor after experiencing the environment of the shop and quality of the work.

I got referred from a few friends to see an artist at Talon Tattoo. I emailed the artist to ask him a few questions about rates, ink used, time, etc. and followed up by calling the shop.A lady answered the phone, where I asked her if I could speak with the artist or if he would be available at all today to talk to me (given it is a two hour commute). She said he would not be able to talk to me, where upon I told her I emailed him. I asked her to mention the email to him and if he could just call me back to schedule a time to see me. She told me that if I emailed him then he has your email, and just come in dude.If it was that simple and I didnt have to commute from Ontario I would have just came in dude.I didnt think it was unreasonable for a tattoo artist to talk for five minutes to a potential client, ESPECIALLY if they are traveling to your shop.All in all this lady who answered the phone was beyond rude, and ended up hanging up on me when I started asking too many questions.I would love to get work done by this artist but am now second guessing even giving money to that shop.

I cant say enough about Talon tattoo, they are like family to my lil family. Everyone is wonderful, they all listen to your wants and needs and the art is proof.... Thank you!

The prices are fair and the quality of work is so good!My daughter got her ears pierced here and it was fast and they were so good with kids!The tattoo artists were also very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Lucas did a fantastic job on my septum piercing. I couldn’t be happier. Clean facility, reasonable prices, great atmosphere and just a great shop all around - I’ll definitely be returning for any piercings I get in the future.

I had some messed up work that really needed a clean and competent hand to fix and I went in and alyx the apprentice yes you heard that right the apprentice came through big like a clutch player made time for me was completely amazing and made a lifelong customer out of me. The environment was completely relaxed and john and Dan and everyone in the shop made the experience that much better. I would definitely suggest going here to friends and family. Thanks again alyx for the amazing experience, see you soon!!!

Just had my very 1st tattoo done by John. Excellent experience. Its a great, fun, talkative environment. John has a great personality and is very talented. Love love love my tattoo. Not painful, not scary, great memories. :)

Super friendly crew! Very clean. They helped me get a stubborn piece of jewelry out and were very informative about my care. Thank you!

Great experience. I called to see if a piercer could take a look at the issues Im having with the piercings done at another place in town. Heidi brought me in, sat me in the chair, gloved up, and really took a good look at both piercings. She informed me of what was wrong, gave me material about what to do for it, and said I could come back in a few weeks so she could see how the healing has progressed!Can you imagine someone taking that much time and effort when they arent even getting paid? What a gem. I wish I had gone here for my piercings.The shop is very clean. It smells nice and it has a very open and relaxed vibe. Its a great place to bring your kid for piercing.

The most entertaining environment while having an amazing experience that will last you a lifetime. Their work is fantastic. They are more then reasonably priced for the quality of work they maintain. Each tattoo is a piece of art with a fun filled session. If you want your skin to be a canvas to a masterpiece Talon Tattoo is the end of your search.

I am very close friends with John, Tiff, and their son, Talon. My mom, dad, aunt, uncle, nana, and papa have all had all their tattoos done there. I have been in the shop since I was a few months old. It has always been very clean and an amazing place. John has very clean and amazing tattoos, as do Tiff and Pete. They are amazing, and very kind and funny.

Great service. Heidi was the one who did my peircings and when i came in after one of my snake bites had the skin closed over the stud she was helpful and nice on doing her absolute best to make sure i was taken care of and didnt have to make an unwanted doctor visit. She was able to get the stud out and cleaned it and then made sure the other one was still healing well. I recommend Heidi to anyone and everyone for peircings. Shes thoughtful and very kind and overall a great person.

This shop is absolutely amazing John and Tiff are amazing artists who truly care about their clients!!! I always recommend Talon Tattoo Co to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing. I just had my tattoo touched up after getting it a year ago, and John did an absolutely Fantastic job!!! I cant say enough good things about this shop!!!

I love going to talon. they do such an amazing job and everyone is always so friendly. Ive had all of my piercings and tattoo done there and Im very much a nervous nelly when it comes to needles and pain but the staff have always been very comforting and made me feel at ease. I will forever go to them for all of my piercings etc.

I loved how clean everything was and my tattoo artist, Dan was really great. I love my tattoo. He was able to take my drawing and make it something even better. My only concern was how lax their mask policy was. But I guess of one is getting a tattoo during a pandemic theyre not as concerned.

Heidi is amazing. I got my belly button pierced March of last year and spent months going to different shops trying to get help because it was blistering and swelling and all sorts of gross and all it took was one visit to Heidi and she got me special soap, a new belly button ring, and helped me get it cleared up. It turned out that the gentleman that had pierced me, pierced me twice and put the ring in sideways and the ring was far too small. Ive gone there for every piercing since and will continue to do so because Ive never had a single issue and theyve always helped me with everything anytime Ive had questions. They arent all about money there. They genuinely care about their customers and that is so important in this business. Thanks for all the awesome work guys!

Walked in on a Sunday for a helix piercing. Took me in no problem. Lucas was super informative about every step, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. He was very patient. Loved how it looked!

Heidi took amazing care of me and explained everything in detail for my piercings. I also have seen John for a couple tattoos and he always does amazing work as well. Best place around!

My sister got her first ear lobe piercings here, and they did a wonderful job!! They were patient, clean, and professional... I will be getting a piercing of my own here, along with a tattoo now. I would highly recommend it.

I got my nose pierced here a couple weekends ago and turned out amazing! Heidi was SO nice and made the process quick and easy. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a piercing/tattoo!

Seriously the best place ever!!!!! I just got my first tattoo and i am IN LOVE! The artist name is Pete and he did a phenomenal job. He made my piece really come to life and it’s more than what i could ever imagine. If i has more money i easily would’ve paid $400 for mine!!! I got it for $200. If you are thinking of getting a tattoo here, DO IT! And put in a request for Pete!!!!!

Big John is Da Best at Talon!! He worked with us and fit my son in when he was able to take leave. He made him feel like part of the family and John did his first tattoo. Thanks Talon for being like family, yall do a hell of a job!! We will definitely be back.

Came in to get my nose pierced and Heidi was great. She was able to get me in between appointments. The shop was clean, everyone was really nice. I would absolutely go back.

The cleanest Tattoo place Ive ever seen. I got my first tattoo here yesterday (Feb 2014) and I was amazed at how clean and friendly it was. Most places are somewhat dirty and look sketchy. Big John is hilarious and a great artist and Emily is so sweet. I got my tattoo done by Emily and she was so caring and fun. NO ONE THERE WILL GIVE YOU BULLS**T. They tell you straight up what they think when you ask them something. Also the way they price your tattoo is great too. Its not by how much time it takes but by the tattoo itself (Size, Color, etc.) I cant think of a single bad thing to say. Will DEFINATELY be going back again.

I was very intrigued by Talon Tattoo after seeing some of their artists work on their Instagram page. However, I am giving then a 1 star rating because I went into the office the second week of November gave them a description of what I wanted. The gentleman helping me took down all my information and asked to email them my design ideas which I did while I was at the office. He told me it would be a few weeks but they would email me back with the design the artist had drawn up and an appointment date. I waited until December 20th before following up again asking an approximate time of when the design would be ready. Only response I got back in an email was “We have sent your design to the artist”. They didn’t answer my question but I was understanding as it was Christmas time. Well now here we are Jan 9th, I still have yet heard back from them or a price estimation of the tattoo I’ve been wanting for months now! I am very disappointed with the lack of communication and poor quality service!

Came in Friday and got my septum pierced with my wife who also got her septum pierced. Heidi was amazing. Quick service ready to go the process was painless except for the piercing which is to be expected. I would highly recommend talon tattoo and Heidi to anybody looking for tattoos or piercing all the staff was friendly and helpful all rockstars in my book go check them out.

Heidi helped me out by switching my helix piercings and did an amazing job! The atmosphere was super inviting and everyone was so nice! Highly recommend this place!!

We took our daughter in for her 12th birthday to get her earlobes pierced. Lucas was so amazing with her! He talked to her and told her everything he was going to do. He pierced the first one, and then she started to pass out! He let her take her time, they got her water and lollipops. She told him she felt like she was going to throw up and he grabbed her a garbage pail and gave her space. Once she vomited, she was fine. He let her take her time and once she was ready, he quickly pierced the other one. He was so courteous and professional and I cannot say enough good things about him! Such a positive experience for all of us!

Best shop in town! Been coming here for 10 years, and havent been anywhere else! The Lascos are professional, welcoming, and absolutely hilarious. So much character here, I promise you will never be disappointed with your experience or your results if you come here.

My wife and I have both gotten tattoos from Pete and have more scheduled. Talon Tattoo employs absolute top notch artists. I could not be any happier with their work and would highly recommend to everyone! They are our go-to and only place for all tattoos and piercings.

I now have 9 tattoos by John and Tiffany and I will never have anyone else work on me as long as they are in the business. All of my family goes to them and I send anyone that asks about my artwork to them. Love them and cant rave enough about their talent!!!!

Amazing amazing amazing!! JOHN IS AMAZING!! There’s no words to discribe how great they are it’s best you just set an appointment and see for yourself. But good luck trying to get an appointment they are book solid and with work like they do it’s worth the wait! They do offer free touch ups for tattoos they do.

Best tattoo place to go to in the state! Professional and friendly from start to finish. Whether youre talking to one of the artists or any of the clientele, the atmosphere is laidback and comfortable. Theyre all great for cracking jokes and having fun, but dont worry they still get the job done...and done right! No wonky or wobbly lines, unless thats your design. While an idea may look great on paper, the tattoo professionals at Talon will work with you to create a piece that you want but one that is also of quality. I came in with a design in mind, but was kindly educated that while it can be tattooed, it wont stay eligible long term. While the idea adjusted from my inital thoughts, I still got all of my desired elements!I highly recommend you call Talon Tattoo for all of your tattoo needs!P.S. If John reads this, Dan gets 2 customer service stars 😉😄

Heidi did a amazing piercing and I would definitely recommend her!! She was so good and made sure it was even. She was so sweet to my baby girl I totally will be going to her for my helix

Great place, very clean and awesome artists!

The best tattoo shop! John is professional, awesome, and will take good care of you as long as you can wait. Theres always a wait to get in but it will be well worth it. I send everyone here.

I absolutely love everyone at this shop. John did my dads tattoo and I love that even if I havent been in a while he still remembers me and always makes u feel like family or friend there.

I love the atmosphere, they are really laid back and listen to what you want. John was an apprentice from my tattoo artist and they do a great job! Ill have them do any touch up on my tattoos anytime! Really good prices!

Thank you John. You do amazing work. My tattoo guy for life. If your looking for good work good company talon tattoo is the place to go. Yes it takes time to get in to see him but so worth the wait. Thank you guys so much.

Got my first tattoo done here by Big John. There is nothing bad I could say about the place! I emailed a photo for custom work and he had a mock up ready for me the next day. His schedule was booked on the day I needed it done so he opened shop 3 1/2 hours early to fit me in. He was fast, clean, and gave me the best deal in town.If I ever have any more work done I WILL GO NOWHERE ELSE!!!!

Very welcoming & great atmosphere. however i waited there for at least 20 minutes for the piercer to arrive before finding out there were no selections on jewelry for me to get any piercings. I was bummed

Love this place. Everyone is really nice and helpful. If you are looking to get something pierced this is the place to go. Ask for Lucas he was awesome. Super busy shop so make an appointment. Well worth the wait.

They have amazing artists. Got my all time favorite tattoo here and want to come back for any other tattoos I get. They make you feel welcome and are all very friendly!

Second time in to see Heidi for piercings. She’s exceptional! The studio is clean and welcoming. Definitely my go-to spot.

Heidi is the sweetest lady ever! She walks you through every step and takes her time! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

I am so happy I found this shop and I love that it is family owned. Ive had piercings and a tattoo corrected and will be going back in the future. The owners are so nice and extremely knowledgeable about their services and aftercare.

Lucas is the best piercer I have ever had.he is extremely cool and will take great care of you. I could have gone anywhere to get new jewelry but decided to go back to talon because of his great customer service.

I got my eyebrow piercing done here and my sibling got their tattoos and a couple piercings done here. My grandma also got her daith piercing done. Theyre clean, friendly, and I trust their work. Would highly recommend!

Dont know about the artists here. Never got to meet them. I went in and was told I would be contacted for an appointment and then wasnt and nobody replied to my phone calls- for a year. I went back in and was insulted and and several attempts to humiliate me on my tattoo preferences took place. So I dont know about the artists here, but their staff was awful when I was there. Hopefully they have gotten better.

Been going to Talon Tattoo for years, since they opened. They have always been clean, friendly and always make you feel welcome and part of a family. Youll never get a better experience than you will at Talon Tattoo!

David! Friendly, the has corrected a terrible piercing from a different shop for me and did a dermal and havent ran into any trouble what so ever!:) definately one of the best places I have been too, very amazing staff. And facebook messaging them, usual replies in under 5 minutes!Its amazing how quick they respond!

Just got a tattoo at talon and I gotta say I love emily!!! She was very nice and this is the place I am going to go forever for any tattoos. Very clean professional but still make your visit personal so that you remember how not only are they there to do your tattoo, but make the experience amazing.

I did a walk in piercing today done by Lucas.He was super nice and took good care of me. Even though I have a short tongue, he was careful & patient with me. Wouldnt go any where else.

My daughter got a tattoo there on Sunday and Jordan did an amazing job. Amazing people and place!

Great staff and atmosphere. I am glad I spent looking for the right place and artist for a cover up. (Update) back for a tattoo for step daughter. I highly recommend this place!

Got my tongue pierced and the experience was amazing. Walked in, he double checked everything with me and let me know what steps would be coming up the whole time. I will go back for my other piercings too.

I got a tattoo from John and I couldn’t be happier. It’s everything that I wanted. Not only was the work great, but everyone working there made it such a comfortable atmosphere. My has healed very nicely. Will 100% be going back.

This place is amazing! John and Tiffany know what they are doing and are super at it. I cant wait for Tiffany to finish my sleeve! Just after the first of many sessions I know it is going to be amazing.

I will sadly no longer be going to talon tattoo. I have had my appointment set up for over a month. Pete said he would send me some different looks of paint colors that could go around my dogs paw print. I called over two weeks and and he said he would text the pictures, still none. called today since my appointment was going to be tomorrow, Im no longer going, and almost 7 hours later no call or text of ideas. I dont know if he thinks the tattoo is something simple, but it has A LOT of meaning behind it for me. someone should never tell their customer they will do something and then not.

They book really far out and then have multiple appointments for 1 tattoo. It sounded like it would take up to a year to get done. Thats not busy, thats poor time management. No Thank you. I went to Ink Slaves and got it done in two appointment

My husband and i , went into the store at about 6pm tonight. Wanting to ask a few questions and see about getting some piercings done.and i felt so un welcome i guess you guys do not need any new customers. Of the 3 people in there not one of them even looked at us....we were in there about 10mins i know they were busy.....but really in that ten minutes not one could look up and say hi ill be right with you....or what are wanting to get ...can we help you ? I mean really to just flat out be ignored was extremely rude !!! I dont do tattoos or anything but i do work in a field were i have customers and let me tell you if a customers walks into my store i at least acknowledge they that they are there like hi ill be right with you.... I really wanted to come here my mom brought me here when i was 16 to get my first piercings and she has passed....but after that i will let tell everyone how rude they were to us

Ive known Big John for a very long time, hes seen all my inkwork and has had his hand in plenty of it. I have a sick backpiece that Im quite proud of, and truly love all my other tattoos. Emily has done a couple of them, and she is a total stud. Talon Tattoo is definitely family orientated and family filled. Tiffany is gracious and so friendly whenever Im in for a quick hello or some chair time, theyre all so very accomodating. Ive never been more comfortable getting something done than while Im there. I tell everyone I know and people I dont about their shop almost daily. If you want quality work, by dedicated and professional people, go to Talon, you will not be disappointed.

John and Tiffany have seen my family through some very difficult times. They are beautiful people who love thier customers and treat everyone as family. I wouldnt go to anyone else in the Treasure Valley.

I have had a bunch of work done by John and his crew. Have zero interested in going anywhere else. These guys are profession and treat clients like family not like revenue. Artwork, demeanor, everything is top notch.

It was such a great experience!! The piercer was so gentle,nice and informative on everything!. A very delightful place to get pierced! Totally recommending to anyone looking to get work done :)

Great Experience, went to get a piercing done and Heidi did a awesome job. Place was nice and clean and the staff are friendly as ever. Would recommend to anyone.

Got my nose peirced here 3 weeks ago and I have done everything I was told to do and sadly my stud just feel out after a washing. Sadly Im disappointed I should have gotten some directions if this was to happen. If it closes I will be pretty upset as I would have wasted my 50$.

This place is awesome. Everyone there is friendly and the atmosphere is lite. Dan was mine and my wifes artist and is phenomenal.But all of the artists there do incredible work. We are going back for more work.

Its a great shop. I had a half sleeve done, it was a cover up of sorts and it turned out beautiful. John did a fabulous job. Ive gotten ink in many shops in different states and this one is a good shop.

I loved the service. Emily pierced my nose and it came out wonderful. It never got infected. The shop it self is very clean. I would go there for a tattoo if i ever wanted to get one.

I love talon I recommend it to everyone. John has done two of my tattoos and I gave him vague ideas and a couple photos and what he drew was better than anything I could have imagined the environment reminds me of my family its very comfortable and friendly

I have had several tats by John. They did family memorial tats that needed to be perfect and they are. I live out of state now but go back to have my art done. Love John and Tiff.

Took my daughter to get her ears pierced. They were friendly and knowledgeable. I will highly recommend Talon Tattoo to my friends.

Best customer service EVER. Went back in twice cause I was having issues putting my jewelry in and each time they were so nice and willing to help. Absolutely recommend for any piercings!! :)

Lucas was super nice! He told me what he was doing every step of the way and was comforting while I was getting my piercing. I love the result!

Would highly recommend Talon Tattoo, very comfortable family friendly atmosphere!! Have had numerous tattoos done by John and Tiff, I get compliments all the time on the art they have done!!💙

Such a fantastic place for piercings and tattoos! Ive known John and Tiffany most of my life and they have been nothing but amazing and caring!!

If you dont push them you wont get a tattoo. Poor lines. Unprofessional drawings. Typical idaho shop. No rules no regs. Nothing above standard. Unfortunately have a few close friends with shabby work and poor experoences at Talon.

Clean friendly service. Gave me tips on how to care for my keloid I obtained from another tattoo shop and their suggestions cured my problem. They care more about you than just making money.

Last minute ink therapy turned out to be the best experience. Peter was amazing and did exactly what I wanted and made it bad ass!!! Great atmosphere and awesome people. Highly recommend

Looking for some awesome ink?Check Talon Tattoo out! I had feathered edges from older tattoos, a trip to Talon was suggested and WOW Not disappointed! You have to check them out!

I went to change out jewelry and the process and experience was excellent. The staff were very friendly and professional. I will definitely be back for any piercings!

Wonderful experience getting peirced!! I unfortunately forgot the name of the woman who did ours, but she was extremely lovely and friendly. Would recommend!

Tallon tattoo is an awsome place to get your tattoos and piercings justin john and tiffany are realy nice people. The priceing on there tattoos are great and they guarantee there tattoos and touch ups are free. John is a really funy guy and realy good owners. I would personaly recomind talon tattoo or any one geting there first tattoo or want more tattoos.

Emily did my nose piecing approximately 8 weeks ago & it has healed well. It was a very comfortable, clean environment. Great job.

Great place, great atmosphere. I got my nose pierced, my 9th piercing overall and it was one of the best times. Cool people, clean place. Will go again.

Friendly people, very affordable prices and great service.

The care that my two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter got when piercing her ears was excellent and very professional place I felt very comfortable I would recommend this place for anybody my great-granddaughter did very well with the interaction of the staff member that did her ears and in a 1 to 10 I would give them a 10

Still have my dermal from 2015!! They did a great job and the coloring still looks sharp on my tattoo!! Thanks Talon Tattoo Co.

I love going to Talons. The people are always so nice and funny. They do great work on piercings and tattoos. Totally woth going.

I have gotten all my tattoos here, great loving people. I always leave with amazing art and lots of laughs.

Highly recommend any of the artists. Ive been getting tattooed by John for 15 years and his wife Tiffany for 5 years.

Got an infection from a piercing here. I did everything I was told to do. So painful! Highly recommend going somewhere else. She also pierced me in a completely wrong spot.

This place is great! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and provide excellent care (even after the fact, if you need it). Definitely recommend.

Great experience, everyone friendly and welcoming. My art was done by Dan. Great artist and patient with his art. Totally recommend this establishment.💛💛💛💛😁

Do you want a tattoo thats going to last AND look great. These artists are amazing. Ask to see all of their work or find them on Facebook to see for yourself.

Clean and good service. No waiting.Reasonable rates! Comfortable chair as you get your piercing. After care directions. ****

First time there was a great experience Heidi pierce my tongue for me. She walked me through the steps and made sure I was doing okay the whole time. 😊

I love the piercings that we had done!!! She was great!! Lots of laughs and it was a great time!!! Tiara was fantastic!!!

I had Pete do mine and my girlfriends first tattoo and he did a amazing job, I will be going back for my second!

I love my parents they are so wonderful and cool and I love all the great tats that they do I know they try really hard and one day I hope to follow in their footsteps

I always will go to Talon. The staff is amazing, makes you laugh, crazy talented, and just a good time. Absolutely love this place.
