Went in for a tattoo by Sam and he absolutely killed it. Walking in the space was super clean and had a lot of natural light. The space had great ambience and the owner Ihor was super nice and had great music taste. 10/10 would go again

I absolutely loved my experience here! Sam was so thoughtful and creative with my tattoo design and took the time to really personalize it and make it special. His style and fine line art is both unique and beautiful. I might just end up covered in teddy bears. The studio itself is a great vibe! A very classy, upscale, and wonderful atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend getting a tattoo here. Oh and as a bonus they really took the time to explain after care to me, which I thought was very helpful!

Bougie Bougie Tattoo Studio – 10/10 Experience My husband and I had an incredible experience from start to finish at Bougie Bougie, where I was lucky enough to be tattooed by the amazing Jose Contreras. When you get a tattoo, especially one with deep meaning, it’s not just about the artwork itself. The experience surrounding it becomes part of the memory, and in many ways, just as lasting. From the moment we walked in, Bougie Bougie made that experience unforgettable. The studio aesthetic is gorgeous, clean, and filled with thoughtful touches like snacks, coffee, helpful bathroom amenities - basically everything designed to make your time there comfortable. But what really made it stand out was the hospitality. Ihor and Kristy, the owners, were incredibly kind and welcoming, and it felt like we were being hosted rather than just booked in. Jose is a legend in the tattoo world, and after six years of trying to find the right timing and get in Jose’s books to start my sleeve, I couldn’t be more grateful that it happened here and now. To top it off, Bougie Bougie’s business model is something special. Ihor works with clients to bring their favorite artists into the studio. We didn’t even know this before booking with Jose, but Ihor’s model made it even possible to schedule my sessions (we came from Oklahoma). That level of care and coordination is rare and really sets them apart. Shoutout as well to Sam, Ihor’s apprentice. He was so friendly and added to the great energy of the whole experience. No doubt he’s on his way to big things too. If you’re thinking about getting a piece from your favorite artist and want a studio that will match the feel and meaning of the moment, this is it. I’d recommend Bougie Bougie a hundred times over!
