Artifaction Tattoo Studio

I had a great experience at Artifaction Tattoo Studio! I came in looking for a week-of appt, and got my tattoo 4 days later. I went to three studios looking to get work done the following day. The place with the cheapest rate had a week wait, the second place was available for the next day but more expensive and I just didn't get that "this is it" feeling, and the third place--Artifaction I just had a great vibe as soon as I walked in and knew it would be worth going there vs. getting the cheapest rate in town. I sent the design to Wade which was pretty basic and straight forward, but when I came in for my appt I wanted to add on to the design. He accommodated my last minute wishes no problem and was quick to make changes we were both excited about. The tattoo looks great and was exactly what I wanted. The price was right and the work is great quality, I would definitely go back again. Thanks Wade!

I’ve been tattooed by both Wade and Emilio, and I’m blown away over and over by how amazing their work is! Truly one of the best shops in town hands down! My first piece by Wade is about 4 years old and I still absolutely LOVE it!!

I recommend this shop to everyone I talk to about tattoos! The artists here are very friendly, welcoming and professional. My first session was about 5ish hours and I was constantly checked on, offered water, and given a soda to keep my blood sugar up. When I was uncomfortable they gave me a cushion to sit on. I’m in love with my tat, and Overall I loved my experience here and I can’t wait to come back for another piece!

A couple months ago Emilio worked with my ideas and used his skills to tattoo exactly what I had pictured in my mind. Everybody at the shop was very friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. Artifaction is a trustworthy business and I will be returning!

As someone who has many tattoos and has been tattooed in many different shops, I would say Artification is the best in the Flathead Valley. One stop shop for any ink style. All the artist are extremely well rounded and just overall chill. Have had both my legs done and most recently a full chest piece done there. Definitely will be back soon

To make my trip to Montana even more special, I decided to get my first tattoo. I found this gem and couldn’t have been more ecstatic with my choice. Wade was so accommodating. The whole process was very exciting and an extremely chill vibe. The studio was next level clean with a private setting making any anxious feeling go away. I wanted an exact replication of script handwriting off a letter and the comparison is identical. My experience went so well after the first one was done, I asked for 2 more :)

Great Shop awesome people fair pricing and professional atmosphere. Great Clear Shop. Couldn’t be happier. Wade is my Artist but would be proud to have any of his artist or apprentices work displayed on me.

Schmidds and I are working on a full sleeve and I can’t say enough about just how outstanding her work is. I am very pleased with the work she has done so far and can’t wait to see what she comes up with for the rest! The shop is extremely welcoming and all of the artists are pleasant to be around. Would 100% recommend any of the artists at this shop.

I absolutely love my tattoo I got from Wade Byrd! Very impressed with the professionalism and Wade is super friendly. Highly recommend getting your ink from him.
The circle and line work is perfect! I had a hard time getting a photo that wasn't distorted.

In town visiting from Canada and decided to get matching tattoos with my sister. Emilio did our tattoos for us, and he did a great job. 10/10 would recommend him and his "soft touch" haha.. Literally least painful tattoo I've ever gotten.

Oh, and a shout out to Herbert who made the whole experience 20x better.
