ART OF THE HEART TATTOO & PIERCINGS - RIVERTON UT

If you want a realism or portrait tattoo in Utah, you need to go to Art of the Heart Tattoo! From the consultation through getting the art done, the experience was well thought out and professional! The rest of the crew there is friendly and they do amazing work also!

I've gotten a lobe piercing done about a year and a half ago and I got my nostril done yesterday. Both experiences were excellent. My nostril jewelry fell out and I couldn't get it back in today and they helped me get it back in. Every piercer here is awesome.

They were very kind and attentive. They made sure I was comfortable. Great place for tattoos and piercings. I got most of my piercing and Shontel was wonderful. Payton was great at doing my tattoo and kind.

Tyler was awesome. My wife and I stopped by for a walk-in and he was able to make time for us. He made sure the designs were perfect. We really appreciate his attention to detail and his patience. We’ll definitely come back again, we already have a few more designs in mind.

I got my second tattoo more then nine years later. this is something I've wanted for over 15 years but never had the money to quite put it into reality today I decided to just go for it and I couldn't be happier it came out so good. My artist Jim at Art of the Heart Tattoo & Piercing Riverton Utah was amazing he put up with all my questions and worries about it not turning out right and even my squeals of pain and in the end it was exactly what I wanted and I was right to trust him he has a great artistic eye And knows what will look good before it's even on your skin. I'm very happy with how it turned out and my overall experience. Jim kept me calm and at ease and made sure I was comfortable the whole time even giving me breaks to vape even though he wasn't getting paid more even though it took longer. I'm extremely satisfied and will be returning to Jim for my next tattoo ideas in the future
Edit: I just got a 2nd tattoo from Jim and it was just as amazing and perfect. It was exactly what I wanted and he's friendly to talk too which important with someone you have to sit next to for hours. We loved it so much we came back the next day to have jim do a piece for my bf for his first tattoo ever. And he made sure it was exactly what he wanted which was important as he is autistic. If I could give jim 10 gold shinning stars I would I recommend him to everyone.

I received a tattoo from Tyler, one of the artists. I am happy with the result of my tattoo. However, I felt like his attention was elsewhere a lot of the time, either talking to other customers that walked in, or taking multiple smoke breaks. I feel I was charged for those smoke breaks and the time that he was not tattooing or working with me. I was told it was $150 an hour. Something like this size and detail should have taken no longer than 2-3 hours MAX! If so many smokes breaks weren’t taken and cycling through employees to help out customers it would have not taken as long and I wouldn’t have had to pay for probably close to an hour that is for smoke breaks and busy with other customers. I left after 4 hours paying $600 after it all.

I came to Utah from Oregon to visit my bestie and we wanted to get matching tattoos. First this place was so adorable and very clean. We did the gum-ball machine to pick out matching tattoo. James and Tyler did great with communicating with each other so they can make sure they were using the same techniques so that tattoos match. They where both great to make sure we where comfortable while giving us our tattoos. Thank you guys! Hope to come back next time I am in town.

We just had our 7 year old get her ears pierced. This is the place to do it! They are amazing! The did such a good job explaining the process and keeping it positive. Our daughter also had both ears done at the same time, so it was one and done so fast. She and we loved the experience!

Dirty shop, do not recommend. Took my teen to get ears pierced - basic lobes, nothing complicated.
1. Jewelry selection was minimal and cheap quality. Earrings were all the cheap push-back type that are not appropriate for fresh piercings. The jewelry is not sterile, they are kept in bulk baggies in a little tool box drawer. Proper jewelry would have been individually packaged in sterile packaging. Non-sterile jewelry should never be used in a fresh piercing. The piercer seemed confused when I asked about different gauges, lengths, or styles of jewelry.
2. I looked around and could not find a single sharps container. Later watched them throw the needle in a regular trash can. (Edit to add - I am a medical professional so am very comfortable with what to look for when it comes to proper sharps disposal and sterile technique - which were not followed).
3. Piercing placement was off - hole was not centered on the lobe, and is too far inward (too close to the head).
4. The needle was sterile when they started, but they then proceeded to use the same needle on both lobes. (and yes, I am 100% positive they used ONE needle on two lobes).

Absolutely would never go back. The only reason I let my child go through with the piercing is they were 18 and wouldn't have listened anyways. The second we got home, I thoroughly cleaned the fresh piercing and made an appointment with Iris piercing downtown to change out the jewelry.

*Edit to add - my visit was within the last year, but it has been more than several months - so pretty confident no cameras were checked as there would be no way for you to know what appointment, date, etc - out of a full year of footage? Also - when I mention jewelry, we didn't care about decorative - but hoops should have a captive bead to keep the hoop in the hole. Our only option was a thin hoop with no bead that allowed the hoop to slide out of the fresh piercing. Thank you for the salty response. I love small businesses and try to support local family business as much as possible - a big reason why we came to your business in the first place. My review is honest and simply intended to help others make informed decisions.

My daughter got her second ear lobs pierced here, Raina was our piercer. She did a incredible job. My daughter was so scared and she helped to make her feel comfortable. Will be going back
