Skin Deceptions Tattoo Studio

THE ONLY PLACE IN BOISE TO GET YOUR PIERCINGS. Sam is knowledgeable, patient, flexible, and kind. Truly, stop your search and go here.

I made the mistake of going elsewhere for my nose (nostril) piercing in November 2021. I developed a bump that wouldn’t go away for MONTHS. I went back to the place I got the piercing multiple times for help, and little did I know the recommendations they were giving me were harmful to my skin. Fast forward to March 2022 — I go to my doctor because I’m so discouraged, and we realized that the material of the piercing was NOT implant grade, and therefore has nickel and is an irritant to most skin types (like why would you even offer this?!). AND it was a corkscrew piercing which is just painful (I didn’t know any better!!). I went to Sam based on reviews, and she gave me hope that I could keep my nose piercing. She helped me pick a piercing that I could customize, explained the science and reasoning behind piercing care, and was kind enough to give me her card to text any additional questions and to come back in. Now, two weeks later my bump is almost entirely gone and I love my new piercing so much! I have major regrets that I didn’t go to Sam in the first place - it would have saved me money and prevented so much anxiety and stress.

My sister and I walked in for Piercings and were accommodated immediately. Sam was the piercer and she was incredible! Super friendly, patient, knowledgeable, attentive to jewelry placement and size, and she was damn funny. Sam absolutely radiates happiness. She made the experience enjoyable and made us feel completely comfortable in her chair. This was by far the best piercing experience I have had. I would highly recommend her for any piercing!

Sam the piercer is amazing, my wife and daughters love her and the amazing professionalism that she expresses on every piercing. Be it a bellybutton, eyebrow, to just a simple ear piercing.,

Hands down my favorite to place to get pierced. Sam is always on time and always makes sure I'm getting exactly what I want. She's very professional and gives an inviting atmosphere. I've never had a problem with jewelery. She's always willing to help out and answers my messages in a prompt manner. The service is wonderful and the shop has a great vibe! It's always super clean and sanitary as well. I'll keep going back. I highly recommend this shop for both piercings and tattoos.

Very friendly, clean, welcoming and fairly priced. Brian is really good and super nice!!!

Sam did an amazing job of waking me through my piercing and was so sweet throughout the entire process. Definitely coming back here for more piercings and some tattoos!!

I have been working with Sam, the piercer, to gauge my ears up. She has been super informative about the quality of jewelry that will help the healing process. She has been amazing through the whole process of ordering the sizes that I will need.

I have been working on a thigh piece with Bobby and he has been super professional about the placement. He has worked hard to make sure that I am comfortable the entire time he is tattooing.

Great piercing lady, and an amazing staff of patient and attentive folks who really care about the experience and the aftercare. I really enjoyed getting my industrial and a few small tattoos here. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely amazing! Love Sam! Bobby is pretty cool too 🙄🙄 but for real if you're looking at getting a piercing or tattoo definitely check out this shop. It's so awesome! *EDIT* The pericer Sam has now done more piercings and up sized my ears since I first left the review and I have to say, absolutely amazing, friendly, very clean and professional. I will not go anywhere else ❤️ and Bobby has now started a sleeve for me and I can not wait to get it finished, love them both!
