Our Mission
To create a professional and welcoming space where like-minded creatives can flourish, and where we can work to alleviate many of the common fears people have about the tattoo process.
To offer our clients an upscale experience; ranging from great coffee (a must!), to free and honest in-person consultations and use of only the highest-rated tattoo & aftercare products on the market.
To ensure that each and every client feels valued & respected, which we achieve through genuine connection
To see that each and every client leaves with a tattoo they love, and an experience they loved even more!
Rocky Mountain Tattoo is a family-owned business that began in 2017 by founders/husband & wife duo, Lee and Jaim.
'We loved the idea of creating an upscale, yet, welcoming space where artists could thrive and clients could feel as if they were a part of something special. We value the quality of our services, the relationships we've built with our clients, and look forward to using our decades of experience to guide you through your tattoo journey."

You can submit an appointment request on our website by 1) By clicking the "Book Free Consultation" button below 2) By using the link found within your preferred artists portfolio Follow the page instructions and fill out the appointment request form as completely as possible. Once you’ve finished, click ‘Submit’ and wait for the confirmation message to appear. If you aren’t able to select your preferred artist from the drop down menu, that artist is not currently accepting new bookings. (Should we say to include that in the comments)? You can also call or pop into either studio during regular business hours to speak directly to a member of staff.
The cost of a tattoo will be determined by a variety of factors including the size, location, and complexity of the piece, the artist’s rate, and your ability to sit throughout the appointment. The best way to get an accurate estimate is by speaking to your artist during a free consultation or when booking your appointment. Please keep in mind that an estimate is just that, an estimate. We will do our very best to be as accurate as possible, however, it may not be exact. The final cost will ultimately be determined by an artist’s individual rate (either fixed, or hourly based upon the length of the actual tattoo appointment). This can be discussed with our booking team ahead of time. The shop minimum for any tattoo is $100+tax (includes all small tattoos).
Depending on your request, (and before your appointment is booked or a deposit is required), we may contact you to book a consultation. This is your opportunity to discuss your design, expectations, and to ask any questions or address any concerns you may have about getting a tattoo. You do NOT have to pay for your consultation.
Not to worry! If you live out of town or are unable to drive in for your consult, we can communicate with you via email or over the phone. Payment of your deposit can then be made via e-transfer by following the instructions provided by our booking team.
Deposits are determined by the size of the tattoo and the artist that you’re booked in with. We require a minimum deposit of $100 to secure any appointment. Large-scale pieces, full day bookings, and appointments with any of our more seasoned artists will likely require larger amounts (check in with our booking team directly for the deposit requirements specific to your preferred artist).
Getting a tattoo can be a very personal journey, therefore it may be difficult for an artist to design your tattoo without a good sense of your vision. You should at least have a general sense of what you want before you request an appointment unless you plan on giving your artist free reign over the entire piece and process, or are simply interested in available flash designs.
We will not tattoo anyone who: -is under the influence of heavy sedatives, illicit drugs, or alcohol; -is under the age of 18; -is taking blood thinners, immuno‐suppressants, or antibiotics; -is going through fertility treatments; -suffers from hemophilia; -is sunburned has other skin conditions that may make tattooing the area impossible Please note that due to requirements set by our insurance provider, we do require a doctor’s note before we can agree to tattoo anyone with any of the following medical conditions: heart disease, seizure disorders, diabetes, skin or blood disorders. *There are no exceptions to this, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. **If you show up on the day of your appointment and we find that any of the above apply (or that you’re not in possession of a doctor’s note as indicated), we won’t be able to proceed with the appointment due to safety & liability issues and your deposit will be forfeit. We also have a zero-tolerance policy for rude, discriminatory, or threatening behaviour.
