Custom Tattooing in

Boulder, Colorado

Rising Tide Tattoo was founded in 2005 by Phill Bartell as a one-man shop on Pearl St. in downtown Boulder, Colorado. Five years later, Rising Tide Tattoo Emporium & Gallery was born from the idea that one space could bring together fine art and tattoo art; displaying quality work on both skin and canvas.

In 2010, Rising Tide Tattoo Emporium & Gallery opened its doors to a warm reception from the community and our machines have hardly been quiet since. Our artists work closely with each client to ensure that their pieces are unique and aligned with their vision. Come on by to check out our light-filled gallery space, peruse our portfolios and art for sale, or to make an appointment for some custom work. Walk in clients are also welcome, just call ahead to see if we’re busy.
