Attention tattoo and piercing enthusiasts! It’s that time of the year again – the Missoula community is voting for their favorites. We are thrilled to announce that we have been nominated in two categories: Best Tattoo Shop and Best Place to Get Pierced. We are truly honored and grateful for this recognition.

Celebrating our One Year Anniversary!

We spent our one year anniversary at the Western Montana Fair with local photographer, Isabella Mitchell, aka @eezabaya. The evening was spent riding rides, watching the rodeo and eating way too much food. We want to deeply thank all of our supporters for the past year. We could not do this without all of you! Here’s to many more years serving the Missoula community!

New Merch coming soon!

Larisa, Sarauna’s tattoo apprentice, designed our new sticker for pride month! The stickers will be arriving June 8th and they will be available to purchase for $5! All proceeds of these stickers will be donated to The Western Montana LGBTQ+ Community Center. This center fosters a welcoming space for community members from Western Montana and surrounding areas.  They offer community events and free space for LGBTQ+ individuals, groups, communities, host events focused on identity development and self-care, empowerment, leadership development, community engagement, and overall wellness. We are thrilled to support this amazing center! Stop in and grab a sticker to show your support! https://www.gaymontana.org/mission-statement/

Welcome Larisa!

It is with great pride that we announce the addition of Larisa to the Brightside Body Art family.

Larisa has supported Brightside and our artists since before the launch of our business, patiently awaiting her moment to become a full member of our team.

Larisa previously trained as a body piercer under Tristn’s mentorship. It’s great to have the team back together again. We will be able to offer expanded piercing availability with her on the schedule.

Larisa is also apprenticing as a tattoo artist with Sarauna. We are so grateful and excited to watch her journey to becoming a tattooist.

Grand Opening

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us at our Grand Opening event last Friday the 13th. We were blown away by the showing of support from our community and so proud to finally show our beautiful studio to the public.

We were gifted Guns n’ Roses tickets by Angel from 96.3 The Blaze for this event. She plugged our studio on her station all day and we were honored. Our friends have reached out saying word of mouth is spreading and that would not have been possible without all of you!

Please keep in mind, masks will be required for employees and patrons at the studio to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone.

Sarauna and Adrienne are booked through October at this time. If you are interested in booking a tattoo appointment, please email us at brightsidebodyart@gmail.com. Let us know your requested artists, details of the design, and the size and location of the tattoo.

We are so excited to be a part of Missoula’s art scene and we can’t wait to decorate all of you. Thank you, Missoula.
