“Absolutely love my tattoo. Sara was super professional and kind all the way through. I appreciated the squeeze toys she had and the little aftercare container. Definitely would get another tattoo from her.”
“We had a wonderful experience. Brian worked with all four in our family to create beautiful pieces. Brian was a pleasure to work with. He’s an amazing artist.”
“Had a tremendous experience working with these folks on a Mother’s Day gift. Andrea was particularly helpful and friendly. The framed picture came out perfectly.
I had no idea what a wonderful art gallery they have in the store. Some of the finest paintings and other art in Boulder County.”
“I’m so glad I found Blackbird Ink. The studio is casual, cozy, welcoming — and clean. Alice was my tattoo artist, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. She was kind, easy to talk to, truly understood what I wanted, and was incredibly patient throughout the process. If I ever get another tattoo, this will be the only place I go. Highly recommended.”
“Caught my eye while walking by. The art is unique and diverse. Discovered many favorites. Drew me in to the such a degree I learned it's family owned. Prices are surprisingly reasonable. Definitely worth exploring”
“Went to see the Boulder Comedy Festival a few weeks ago, it was awesome!! The comedians were great!! Please keep the comedy going at the Dairy Arts. Can't wait until next year's show.”
“Very professional. Offered great ideas and advice. Lots of options for framing needs. Haven't gotten our prints back yet but will definitely use them again of they turn out the way I'm envisioning.”
“Gorgeous art. My favorite gallery. Exquisite customer service. The owners are salt of the earth. They are so open and welcoming to a sheer love of art, whereas at all the other galleries I’ve visited or patronized, i noticed there tends to be an air of arrogance that can be off putting and even intimidating.”
“If you’re looking for vinyl albums, this is a great place to check out not only was there tons of other miscellaneous vintage items but a large wall of vinyl options. There is everything from jewelry to salt and pepper shakers to the things you would like to see in an antique store. I happen to find a book that I am absolutely in love with. It is it heritage book in the 1800s I wish I had the money to buy the others. Definitely a place to go check out.”
“A showcase of local artists.
I feel inspired by artwork and you can feel the hard work and sweat that goes into each piece, lovingly.
Highly recommended.”
“Small very vibrant art scene here. Three or more artists on display. Get a guide when you walk in. Lots of events in town through this entity year round. The venue is available for private events, we did one and planning one now with a friend. I think one of the best places in town if you really want a fun vibe. You do it all yourself ( food, etc) and for the value it can’t be beat!”
“Manuel was amazing for my two tattoos, very kind and patient. The experience was great with a very clean studio and within efficient time. I am from Australia and would recommend Manuel to anyone travelling and wanting a tattoo!! Very trustworthy and good quality”
“Incredible art! I've never seen anything like it. Some of Phil's pieces really come to life. Pictures don't do them justice. Even had to check behind some to try and make sense of the movement and depth. Not sure how he's able to give his art life but he does. So glad we stumbled in here. Store has a very chill atmosphere.I got a small piece which I love. Definitely excited to expand my collection.”

“I had a wonderful experience shopping at Art + Soul Gallery virtually with Debbie. The gallery was carrying a designer I had been interested in for a while, and Debbie arranged a facetime video with me to show me the pieces of the collection they were carrying. She showed showcased the items so beautifully, offered suggestions, and answered all my questions so that it was easier for me to decide which items I wanted. Debbie and her team followed up with an email, more pictures and details, and I was able to complete my purchase online easily. The whole process was fun, easy, and comfortable and I would love to work with their team again!”
“FYI: Tenzin will be traveling for one month in 2024 and the shop will be closed. Please call ahead to check the hours of operation.As someone who was not born into a Buddhist family, I always feel completely welcomed and supported in this store.This is such an incredibly beautiful and deeply spiritual space and it’s always a delight to stop by when I can.”

“Very knowledgeable ladies, about Navajo art and jewelry, bought me a seashell for my sage. If you're in Boulder, you must check out this store just for the experience”
“Beautiful paintings and prints. It's a joy to visit. Very professional and personalized service. I went while visiting my daughter from Colorado. They will personally frame. I would love to work with Mary as I have done framing and setting in the past. However, I'm too far away. Some prices are high, but I believe that they will bear out their value in the future.”
“I attended a wonderful art exhibition in July called Ishin-Denshin: Transmissions from the Heart. The exhibit featured the singer Margaret Ozaki Graves, a filmmaker Bruce Tetsuya and other very talented artists. The representation of a variety of works from Japanese Artists in different mediums was fantastic, and the Collective did a great job of displaying the work.”
“This was a very cute shop. They have tons of options and the 3 posters for $20 deal is always very alluring. This was a fun place to find posters for my dorm with my roommates, a perfect little adventure for posters. Love the anime options too! The staff are always pretty chill and helpful, and I love the stickers.”
“It was so nice to find this tiny gallery and shop inside an office building in historic Niwot. The art and goods are packed tightly, even around the staff's working areas. We went to a festival of the celebration of the end of summer, First Friday ArtWalks. I had seen a post in the Boulder paper announcing the event. One of the artists featured was a person we have known for over 25 years and seen his work in other settings, in Boulder. It was really nice to see the new work he has done recently, a shift in color palette and location settings but still recognizable by his style. And still depictions of the Southwest part of the country. The gallery had other artists also and craft and pieces of art for sale. A nice collection of styles. Niwot has always been known for its antique stores, even since we arrived in Boulder in the 70s. We did not furnish from these stores but some friends did. Now, many of the historic shops sell the art of the local community that has sprung up, in a rural setting, just minutes from Boulder. If you take the sign at the turn off from the Diagonal Highway (119) just east of the light at Niwot Rd, you will find yourself on the 2nd Ave historic section of town. It was also a treat that the festival evening had a large local band playing outside near the galleries on this block. A large crowd for the end of summer festivities, and awards to the artist favorites of the summer long shows. Many people seemed to all know each other. Small town, still in the heart of Boulder County.”
