The Steel Paintbrush

I was able to schedule an appointment for some ear piercings quickly. The facility is so nice and immaculate! Aurelia was my piercer and she was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She explained the process and piercing aftercare thoroughly. I really enjoyed the experience and will be back.

Its the only place I want to go to get tattoos. Cannot say enough about the owner Jen. She can take your idea and turn it into a beautiful piece of art. Somehow, she creates exactly what you want! The way she can take an email description of what you want, with sample pics, and then turn it into anything better than youve thought up! The shop is really cool and has a fun vibe. Everyone Ive seen coming and going from the shop is super happy with whatever work they got done! As you can see from the pics, my husband and I both love Jens work. Beyond talented, super chill, and easy to sit hours with! We both intend to be in her chair many more times in the future!

I had some piercings done here. This place is super clean and professional.

Will never go there for anything!!! Took my daughter there to get a daith piercing and the piercer there, I believe her name is Nicole, and she hmmm’d hawed and kept having her turn her head to look at each of her ears and then said that she didn’t think it would work because her ears are too small and it probably wouldn’t heal well. My daughter was devastated because she gets migraines VERY frequently! So we went to 5th Street Ink in Missoula and Morgan said no problem! Couple weeks later, playing with our dogs, the ball fell out so she went there to see if they could at least help her fix it. She were rude and gave her nothing but attitude!And happy to say that so far she has not had a migraines 🤞🏻since this piercing!

Absolutely love the job emily did on my cover up. They have fixed several tattoos on my back. Always clean always polite and understanding of the clients needs and wants. Professional service and outstanding talent.

Done by Maci amazing artist, love it so much thank you guys!! ☠️🖤

Took our younger girls in for some ear piercing. They are super professional, very clean and no traumatizing loud gun sound in your ear like Claires. They made extra sure that the piercing were even too. They are just all around awesome here and everyone was so friendly. I would recommend this spot to everyone.

Ive been a loyal customer for years. Jen has done all of my tattoos, 8 in total now, more are planned. The environment is very clean and inviting and they are very enjoyable to be around. They are also very talented! Ive also had my nose pierced there and so did my daughter. Im sure there will be many more visits! I highly recommend The Steel Paintbrush to anyone looking to get a tattoo and/or piercing.

I got my nips pierced by Nicole and she made the whole process much more comfortable, (as i was sooo nervous beforehand).. she was super quick & made sure i left highly educated on the piercing&aftercare :) overall a really great and safe environment! highly recommend getting pierced by Nicole :)

Jen is AMAZING! Hands down, she’s the best tattoo artist I’ve been to - expeditious, talented, and personal all describe her. I came to her because I saw her work on several people and loved every piece, and I’m really glad I went with her!

Website says open, we go down 2 days in a row and there not open. False advertisement.

I had a great experience here when I got my nose pierced! It was quick and efficient and I never had any problems. When I got my bellybutton pierced I had a bit of a panic attack about the needle, and the piercer (Emily) was SO patient and kind. She always made sure I was alright and ready and that I was still okay with it. I’m sure I was a hassle but she was an absolute gem. Not everyone is that patient with anxious folks like me. Kudos! I’m very thankful

While other reviews indicated this place was family friendly I wouldnt expose my kids to topless women getting tattoos. Staff is friendly, but I think next time we need ears pierced we will look for something more mainstream.

Nice shop! Very professional but also funny. Got my septum done😜 didnt hurt one bit. So happy I got an old friend that did it. Alicen from Anaconda 👍. So happy cant wait to come over and get my ashley piercing done when my braces come off.

Emily is the best. She pierced my nose and lip, she explained everything to me as she was working and was very clear about after care. Emily made me feel extremely comfortable. Ill be going back to get a third piercing soon. Love this shop and the atmosphere.

Jen and Emily do the BEST work. Theyre amazing, patient, and sooo good at what they do! Jen has done about half of my tattoos at this point and she has never failed to amaze me!! STRONGLY recommend 👏👏

Best Tattoo shop in the Bitterroot valley. Always professional and personable. Stop in and get inked. Just had a glorious day at the shop. Again I say, Best tattoo Shop in the Root. Jewelry piercing and more.

They did a cover up for me ( yin yang ) and it came out absolutely amazing. They also did an om symbol for me and listened to what I wanted. In my opinion they were very professional and extremely nice. They made me feel comfortable and were more than happy to answer any questions that I had. If you are looking to get your first tattoo, a cover-up, or just add to what you have I would strongly suggest you go to the ladies here. I know I will be returning for any future work I will be having done.

All the women at the Brush are phenomenal. Its such a comfortable atmosphere-bright, friendly, open. Original art is everywhere, and they know how to pick tunes! Emily did a great job with my concept (minimalistic, but still), made sure I was comfortable, and was efficient. The whole group is helpful, and they make the entire experience as pleasant as getting stabbed at a high rate of speed for an hour can be. See you soon for my touch-up!

Amazing staff and their work is the best I have seen. Got a tattoo from them a couple years ago and wont go anywhere else.

Ive gotten 2 piercings done here and I love them! Everyone is super friendly and you can tell they know what theyre doing. Id recommend going here to anyone.

If you’re looking for a piercer miss nicole is where it’s at i would trust her with my life i trusted her with my nips and my lip and she did such a good job w both she quick with it fr

I love this place got my first septum pierced when I turned 16. Gonna come in soon again to get my nostrils repierced. 10/10 place and amazing staff!

Alicen does an amazing job! Will definitely be going back to her! Her customer service is awesome and she is so relatable! I really enjoyed my experience!!

The artist was kind, skilled and professional. I will definitely get another tattoo here!

Got a tattoo in memory of my mom and dog. I could not be happier! Emily did an amazing job and I will be back! Everything was super clean! Thanks Emily I love it!!!!

Son has gotten two tattoos here and they turned out amazing

I quickly found the artist for work I wanted to have done, she understood my needs as nd had a good vibe too!

I was told to use listerine and hydrogen peroxide on lip piercing, absolutely a no I guess now I have infection cost me way more to try cure it, never go there again. Definitely go to Missoula next time.

They are so friendly and an amazing atmosphere!! I recommend them to EVERYONE who asks
