Mishayla by far is the best piercer I’ve ever been to. She’s done MULTIPLE piercings of mine facial, ears and other areas. She’s extremely informative with any and every questions I have. She’s super clean, friendly and just all around my favorite piercer from here on out. Eveyone in the shop in general is amazing as well![]()

Edit to add!! Mishayla, the new piercer has helped out 2 new clients that were told at other shops they didn't have the "right body" that needed special tools or the "wrong anatomy" the last two times I was in. One stop shop FOR SURE. I've gotten a ton of work from Jeff in various parts of my body and had nothing but great results. I've been coming since Jeff started and have let him exclusively tattoo my sleeve with excellent results. All of the artists are very well versed in their craft; each has the independence to do every style, also, each of them have their own preferred style so you can certainly get whatever you can imagine! This tattoo shop has been here for over 20 years and it has no sign of stopping. Check out their designs for yourself and schedule an appointment as soon as you can!![]()

I wish I would have had my first tongue peircing here, it was the best experience I've had in YEARS. The peircer is very knowledgeable and welcoming and placed my tongue peircing perfectly symmetrical, I absolutely love it! The studio is clean, organized with classy western Americana decor. I am definitely returning for future body modifications and will recommend to friends and family🩷🖤🩷🖤🫶![]()

My best friend and I set an appointment for super last minute next day matching tattoos. When we went in, everyone was super welcoming. Our artist Brett told us he was a little behind (about 20 minutes). We ended up waiting about 1 hour for him to catch up but the wait was well worth it. Brett felt terrible so he ended up making us a deal for the two tattoos even though his work, in my opinion, cost more than what he charged. While doing the tattoos, he took his time and compared my friends and mine side by side so they were exactly the same, and explained the "greywash" process when we were worried about the shading being too heavy. I am beyond pleased with Brett and White Buffalo. If I am ever looking for a tattoo in the area again, I won't hesitate to make this my first choice.![]()

Martin has been more than an artist to me he has been like a brother. I walked into his shop May 19 2009 a broken beaten down and destroyed fresh 18 year old boy who’s mother had violently withered to nothing from cancer in a span of 30 days. Trying to explain a tattoo through a flood of tears and confused emotion. Yet Martin wasn’t annoyed or even upset at this incohirent babbling kid he treated me as family like any brother would to help another. He has provided a service for me that is far beyond the call of any tattoo artist even should or has to. I now have a sleeve , a full chest , and countless others including a what I’m calling a sock lmao (which Martin wasn’t happy about but still did with a smile) . All of which were done by Martin. And my point is this place is more than a shop for most of us it’s a safe haven, a refuge, your local pshychiatrist if there was a 6 star option it would be there.![]()

Martin has spent 21 hrs working on me over the years and about to work on my sleeve! He’s been a great artist especially with explaining his recommendations on what to do on several pieces as far as placements, shading and what will flow better color wise! Amazing with cover ups! I always highly recommend White Buffalo! Thanks Martin for all your hard work!![]()

Absolutely amazing shop. Friendly people and Martin is an amazing artist. He takes the time to design and make sure it will be everything you want and make it perfect. I got a memorial tattoo for my little brother that passed away and the dedication Martin has to make sure it’s an amazing piece and made sure my idea with putting my brothers fingerprint from a necklace and scanning it in. He made my tattoo original and tasteful. If you want amazing work you have to Check out this shop🙏❤️🙏 I cant say enough great things I will definitely be back for more work, and now that I have this amazing tattoo I have to have Martin fix my other ones. His artwork is so great it made my other tattoos look like crap so I will be back to have them fixed by Martin.![]()

Guess I’ll fix a review that a childish person left because a certain individual who can’t put FEELINGS aside has to try and degrade a professional tattoo artist over a disagreement. Jeff is a very knowledgeable and professional artist who exceeds the limit of creating the art you want on your body. I applaud his efforts in being able to set aside relationship’s for his business (as others seem to not be able to). Please don’t let one bad review deter your thoughts on this AMAZING artist over one dumb degenerate who can’t take the word NO for an answer.![]()

I just got my septum pierced by Mishayla and it was the best experience. I walked in and everyone was super nice. I told them I was excited a little nervous and they reassured me it would be fine. I sit in the chair and Mishayla told me everything she was doing and it felt amazing to know that she cared, she even had squishes for people to use! She did it so fast I was SHOCKED. It came out amazingly. This was my first piercing in 7 years and I highly recommend this place!!![]()
