BOOK ONLINE

If you would like to book online, visit our Vagaro page. Here are some helpful booking tips:

Consultation – Free consultations allow you to meet your artist and discuss design ideas. Tattoo consultations are typically available by appointment from 11 AM to 12 PM and 5:30 PM to 7 PM, providing personalized time to discuss your preferences. This ensures we can effectively plan your tattoo and schedule your appointment.

Hourly Tattoo

Book this option for designs sticky-note sized or smaller with minimal detail. It can also be used for larger pieces with linework and minimal detail.

Half Day Tattoo

This option provides a dedicated 4-hour session for crafting detailed and customized tattoo designs. Pricing details are provided during a consultation with your artist, as the time needed can vary based on design complexity and placement.

Full Day Tattoo

This immersive 6-8 hour experience focuses on creating intricate and personalized tattoo designs. Ideal for larger pieces, this service allows ample time for collaboration with your artist, and pricing details are provided during a consultation.

PLEASE NOTE: Once you book, the booking request is sent to the artist for their acceptance. It’s essential to include photos with your booking request so the artist can follow up with you directly. Please note that booking appointments at midnight for the next morning isn’t ideal, as our artists need sufficient time to prepare your design. We are a family-oriented group striving for work-life balance. If you don’t hear back from your artist within 24 hours, please call or text the shop at 208-995-5012.

Testimonials

Real People. Real Results

Jillian Higgins

All the artist there are so so amazing I’ve never been to a more fun and welcoming tattoo shop, everyone was so amazing I live a hour away and they let me go home and called me a hour before so I didn’t miss the Friday 13th flash sale I’ve ever had anyone accommodate for me like that, my artist Dick was so talented and so much fun to chat with! I could go on and on about how much I loved it here! This will be my only tattoo shop from now on ♥️

Quintin Pluid

Upon entering the tattoo shop I actually knew right away, here I am going to get my tattoo. It is an incredibly beautiful and clean place. All artists are incredibly sweet and friendly. They certainly took the time to discuss my plans and were very thoughtful. The tattoo artist was incredibly good and I am very happy with the end result. After tattooing you will receive a package with stuff for aftercare and a very nice explanation about it

Brittany Curt

I chose Branded Bear at random to get a tattoo for my 30th birthday and I’m so glad I did. I favor very dainty, delicate tattoos and wanted a piece to showcase my faith. Dick was the artist who tattooed me. He was so kind, gentle and extremely talented at his craft. Whether you’re wanting to go in on a whim, or want a piece masterfully crafted… this is your place!

Ashlyn Vande Vooren

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!

I’m the owner of Branded Bear Tattoo.

I’m not a tattoo artist, and I don’t pretend to be.

My role is simple: build and maintain a studio that artists can respect and feel proud to work in. A space that stays clean, intentional, and professional from the moment you walk in.

Branded Bear isn’t about noise or ego. It’s about providing the right environment for serious artists to do serious work, and for clients to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

I stay in my lane so the artists can stay in theirs—and that balance is what makes the shop what it is.
