This was an amazing experience to say the least! My 6 friends and I were traveling from out of town and wanted to get tattoos together. We called same day and were all able to be seen by kasha! She was so professional, patient and incredibly talented. The rest of the staff was also so welcoming and helpful. Will be coming back here when i come back to town.
Will definitely return very good experience. Amazing employees and an amazing variety of body jewelry. I got a piercing and I love it. Price was worth it.
Have only gotten piercings here but Mason is super professional and very experienced!!Quality jewely!!
Kevin is the best tattoo artist there is I have got majority of my tattoos done by him he is super professional and just great when it comes to drawing out any tattoo you may have in mind ♥😀
Everyone was nice friendly .. the guy Mason did a hell of a good job would recommend .✌️🌹
Amazing service!👍🏾🙌🏽
I visited this establishment to have my ears pierced about a month ago. Everything was really good, we talked about the pretty jewelry and I found the perfect jewelry for me. The jewelry was cleaned and I was taken to the piercing room super fast. The piercing was a breeze it didnt hurt.I was told how to the care for the piercings i just got and I was on my way.Everything was perfect so I thought.I got home and tried to take off my mask and it was connected to my ears!! I had to go back to talisman to have them remove my mask which had been pierced to my ears. Since then my ears have healed. I just wanted to share my experience.
I cant remember the name of the guy, but he was an incredibly rad and experienced piercer. Easy to talk to, and knowledgeable about so many topics. One of the few people Ive met that got into piercing for right reasons, and made getting my septum done a breeze. Will definitely come back!
Nick pierced my septum today and it was a great experience. He was super personable, honest, and made me feel super relaxed. He did a great job and I love my new piercing! He even hooked me up with a deal. Great guy. Would definitely recommend seeing him for your piercing needs.
Nick was so awesome with my kiddo. She was nervous and excited to get her ears pierced today and he took his time, educated, and did an amazing job. Totally made her week. I got my septum done as well and I love it. Great vibe, clean and professional shop. I’ll definitely be back.
Nick was such an easy going and professional piercer! Made my friend and I feel very comfortable (we got our nipples pierced). Nick was very knowledgeable and we highly recommend going to him for any of your piercing needs!
Incredibly professional. My favorite!
Took my daughter to get here ears pierced for her birthday. The power went out...we had a team holding phone flashlights up to get the job done. Was a lot of fun. My daughter felt no pain. They are my go to for piercings.💜
Got my septum done today, way cleaner than any other shops I’ve gone to. I’ve previously had both sides of my nostrils done at a place that was far from as clean as talisman is. They make sure everything is sterilized and disinfected, and have a very friendly and chill environment. Definitely going back for another piercing in the future (:
Nick did my navel piercing. Fabulous job. Very professional and clean, and it looks great! Definitely going back next time!
Popped in for a celebratory helix piercing and had the pleasure of working with and chatting with Nik. Great experience and professional shop - highly recommend!
Have only had piercings done here but very professional and friendly staff.
Best piercing experience ever!! Mahalia Sol was very chill and explained everything so thorough! First time a piercer explained the whole process to me step by step. I felt super comfortable! LOVE my piercing! Definitely going back for more!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ive been to this shop before for piercings and everyone was super nice and helpful but recently I went in with questions about a tattoo but it was so uncomfortably hot in the building, not sure if I could sit in there that long :(
Very professional and the coolest body art. Ive long wanted unique pieces. I am so happy. I strongly recommend this place. They are qualified professionals w top quality body art.
Great people very professional and clean. Will go back there for tattoos and piercings in the future!
I went in for my second tattoo today. The first time Kevin Hinton did a beautiful job tattooing my shoulder. Today I had Jordan who did absolutely amazing; I absolutely love this shop! I’ve had such great experiences both times and would highly recommend to anyone. Super clean, professional and friendly!
This is an immaculate shop with a super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff! I was blown away by the wide selection of jewelry. Syndesi was AWESOME. I could not be more pleased with my experience here, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautifully placed piercing and/or a quality piece of jewelry!
Nikki was awesome! This was my fifth tattoo, but first in Santa Fe. I called a few tattoo shops asking about hours and appointments to get a tattoo in honor of my beloved dog that passed away. Nikki was the only one who expressed sympathy and asked about my dog. Once I was in the shop, she spent a lot of time getting to know me and my dog to make sure we captured his spirit in the design. Not only was her work great, but her personality and attention to me and my dog made the experience special.
The venue is very clean, and the employees are very helpful! Syndesi is a great piercer and is extremely knowledgeable with what he does. Not only this but they have been great about answering questions I have had through the healing process as well. 100% recommend Talisman Body Art for any tattoos or piercings!!
Syndesi is awesome! Explained every step and made me feel comfortable. Was a little nervous walking in but by the time I left was so happy. Will definitely be going back for another piercing soon!
Steven Ralich was the piercer when I went in and he was great. Kind, funny, and professional. The space was great, and the selection was lovely. Thanks folks!
Syndesi is by far the best piercing artist Ive ever had the pleasure of working with. I felt totally comfortable and at ease during both of my experiences with him. I trust not only his knowledge in piercing but his eyes and hands as well. (Seriously, I did not know piercings could be so painless until working with him.) Not only will I be back for more, but Ill be sending all of my friends here. Thank you!
We had a great experience at Talisman. Our piercing artist was fantastic: smart, professional, and kind. We absolutely recommend it!
Got my septum piercing today by the wonderful Steven. 10/10 pain felt like a pinch. Thank you Steven!!! 🌼
Just got my helix pierced yesterday with a 14 gauge and it was basically painless. the shop has such a friendly atmosphere and the employees even more friendly. Phil is amazing and I doubt I will be going to anyone else to get pierced. overall I loved my experience here and will be coming back.
Eddie Tafoya did an awesome job on my tattoo on Saturday 1/11/2020 . Great place, very clean and very professional
As soon as I walked into Talisman I knew this was the right place - great vibes. Phil and the team at Talisman were awesome, really down to earth and very professional. Obviously passionate about what they do, you can tell they have the highest level of skill as a result. My piercings, just two cartilage piercings above my tragus, were done incredibly smoothly, which suited me because I hadnt had one for ages and was nervous! It has been two days now and my ear has been fine, it is obviously a great job. Much better than any other piercing Ive ever had. The jewellery they have on offer at Talisman is great too. Styles to suit anyone. Definitely DEFINITELY recommend. Thanks Talisman Team!
I got my nose pierced at Talisman and they did an excellent job! The staff was extremely friendly, and Phil made the piercing quick and as painless as possible. There was no burning or discomfort afterward. I have a sparkly new teal nose stud and I love it!
If you have been thinking of body piercing, the place to go is Talisman. They help you decision making without any pressure. They want you to made the right choice for yourself and are really patient with you. The quality and service is nothing less than excellent; and its offered at an affordable price. This kind of artwork requires skill and finesse which is what I experienced there. Syndesi has a gentle precision that make the the entire procedure comfortable. Get the piercing you have been waning to get, your will be glad you did. Your sexuality will thank you for it.
I cannot describe how immensely happy I am with the staff and artists at Talisman. I went in to get my 3rd tattoo which was an original design and I couldnt be more pleased with the final results. Nikki is absolutely amazing! She took my design to a level that I could have never imagined, I was nearly speechless when I saw the finished product. I usually dont talk when getting tattoos but Nikki put me so at ease that I chatted through nearly the whole thing, I didnt even realize how much time had passed and I was shocked when she said she was done. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this shop! I will be back and I will tell everyone I know about it!
Called ahead to see if they would be able to put my surface bar back in. They said yes so I drove down from Los Alamos. When I got there they said they don’t deal with bars, only anchors and wouldn’t recommend anyone in Santa Fe- they tried to send me to Albuquerque. I called around and ended up at Ikigai which is the shop of there former piercer who was able to get it put back in. Their loss
I got a cover up tattoo here and the experience was awesome.!!!! Nikki was great at explaining everything to me and made me comfortable every step of the way. I really appreciate what she did for me. I most definitely recommend this place. They treat you with respect and the place is spotless and they are very careful with everything they do.-JT
Wonderful experience, Nikki did an amazing job with my first tattoo. Made sure I knew all the proper information to maintain good care of it during the healing process.Very friendly staff, will definitely return soon!
Had my ears pierced up to a 10g and paid over $100. I know I should have asked the price beforehand, but still. Ive gotten a number of piercings in my life and have never paid more than $40- and that was in a city ten times the size of Santa Fe. Really disappointed by this.Otherwise, the experience was great. Really helpful staff, great piercings. Just bummed I got bilked. Buyer beware.
I havent ever had work done here, but this shop is a GEM when it comes to beautiful (and not super expensive) gauges. I probably have at least 4 pairs of them, all stone!
Always love coming here! Syndesi was very gentle with my nostril piercing. Talisman body art is the best place to get your piercings at!
I couldnt be happier with my experience. Went in with questions and concerns, unsure of what I wanted, left with my PERFECT new piercing and all my questions answered. Sin and Brittany were amazing; patient, knowledgeable, conscientious, professional. I am so happy with my Daith piercing and with the whole experience. Called them after, they were reassuring and supportive. Honestly, you couldnt ask for more! Spent @ $100 for piercing, jewelry, after-care products for 2 months. Well worth it. Afterthought- if you ride, wait until AFTER fall riding season to pierce cartilage. Early winter would be better time. HelmetsHurt
Great job doing my daith piercing. I absolutely love it.
Great artists, professional and knowledgable staff. I had my nose pierced here and it was a fantastic experience.
Mahalia is so knowledgeable, patient and kind. She made sure I had all the info I needed to make a piercing decision.
Ive only gotten piercings here, no tattoos, so I can only speak to piercer Phils work, but he is incredible. I have gotten my nose and tragus piercings switched out for new jewelry, and I recently got a conch piercing. It was a great experience. Very clean facility, lots of great (and reasonably priced) jewelry options, and Phil does a fantastic job!
Absolutely amazing experience. Super friendly and professional staff. Love my piercings! Thanks, Phil!
Ive gotten 3 tattoos and now one peircing here. The entire staff is super personable, professional and well educated! Kevin has not only done 3 tattoos for me but designed me a totally custom piece! They have a wide selection of gorgeous body jewelry as well. I absolutely love this place and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a tattoo or pericing!
Had a lovely time. Clean professional care, lots of good advice, fast service, and a great piercing job. Syndesi was the best, and I will definitely be going back to him for any aftercare or new piercings. Honestly, one of the best times Ive had getting a piercing. Go to Syndesi!!!
I LOVED this place, Sam a female tattoo artist did a piece in progress for me and was so helpful and when i went to get a cover up on the ribs she was patient, and very understanding while working with me. She did a WONDERFUL job on my tattoos and i would recommend her to anyone who asked. I wont be going anywhere else for a tattoo.
Very good service and experience! Friendly atmosphere. Got my nose pierced and I love it! Thank you!
Jordan is an awesome artist, my wife and I walked in with an idea and left with exactly what we were wanting!
Wonderful experience and beautiful selection of body jewelry.
They do a great job here, its where Ive gotten all my piercings. They also do amazing tattoo work. Very clean and friendly as well.
Im not the person who usually writes reviews, but in this case I wanted to make an exception. I was referred to Talisman by the vast majority of my friends whod gotten their piercings done there with amazing results! I also did my research and looked at reviews. Anyway, I went in on Valentines for a consultation with Phil, he was very professional and attentive to my needs. We had a long conversation about what I wanted, he asked detailed questions about what I envisioned. I showed him pictures I had found online that showed the look that I was going for. From there he took out several displays of jewelry so I would know my choices (which were many might I add!) I was very impressed by the quality and variation they had in stock. In the end we decided on a single dermal with a beautiful triad of diamonds. My original idea was slightly different but the concept we developed together with his expertise and experience was much better. There was a few people in front of me, but he assured me that he would be done as soon as possible and then we would get to work. I waited on a great leather couch and looked over the tattoo and piercing portfolios. By the time it was my turn I was sorta nervous, but Phil reassured me and was able to make me feel comfortable in a situation that definitely was not. When we got into his office he spent a good ten minutes making sure the the dermal was perfectly centered to my body. He encouraged me to ask questions about what he was doing and the process of getting the implant. He also showed me all of the equipment, all of which was completely new and in sterilized packages (like they have at the doctor or dentists office.) I went into his office with a worried expression and came out with the biggest grin on my face! Phil’s work was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for anything better or more fitting! I love my little dermal and smile everytime I see it. Before I left Phil gave me a long lecture about proper aftercare (as he should! super important) as well as a piece of paper going over everything. I also got some beautiful smelling lavender cleaning solution! It is now healing beautifully and I’m due for my one week checkup soon. I will return to Talisman and Phil for all my future piercing needs!
Got my nostril pierced a few as ago. Love it! Great experience. Great atmosphere.
I went here for a septum piercing on halloween and had a great experience! my wait was short, and my piercer, syndesi, was great ! following the aftercare instructions they gave me, the piercing is already healing well after 2 days and barely hurts at all
This place is very clean and the sterilization process is on point!! they were all very friendly and welcoming!! Ill definitely be back to see syndesi!! He rocks!!
I LOVED it when it was Phil piercing there, but now I see the place has been stealing pics of Phils work and claiming as their own. If I were still in Santa Fe I´d just follow Phil to his new shop and stay away from a piercer that claims to have experience but needs to steal pictures from other people.
Great shop, super cool special Friday the 13th. Long waits but hey it was an event. Piercer was cool.
Wonderful experience with my nose piercing! Everything was clean, sterile and quick! Service was lovely! Highly recommend!
I think this is a great place. They tell you a lot of information about what piercing your wanting to do. They only thing is when i got my piercing I had them help me put in a new jewelry in my ear. The man didn’t get out the right tools and tried doing it with his hands. He finally gave up after 5-7 minutes and sterilized the tools he needed to use. My ear is now throbbing and swollen from him trying to use his hands to get the jewerly out. I also don’t think it was the right gage he put in because it hurt when he was pushing it thought the hole and I’ve had this piercing for about 5 years. I would make sure he has all the tools he is using ready for when he starts.
Very helpful with a great selection, me and my girl enjoyed talking to the staff way more than we enjoyed picking out jewelry
New Mexicos finest! 👌Thank you so much! 😁💕😎
The piercer was knowledgeable in her craft and Friendly
Seriously THE BEST, the cleanest, and the best customer service! Thank you, i love my nose piercing it is perfect!
Nice place, nice artists but can be a little pricy. Jordan did a nice job on mine!
Phil Temer pierced my septum and not only was he skilled, quick, and professional, but he was also really fun and created a relaxed vibe throughout the process! Hes not with Talisman anymore but hes supposed to be opening his own place soon. You should DEF go to Phil for any piercing!! His IG is @philtemer, you gotta get your stuff done with him
Awesome!!!! Experience i will send all my friends here for piercings!!!!
Great place to get tats!
Super knowledgeable and friendly staff, plus an amazing selection of jewelry. I would come back here for all my jewelry if lived here.
Nick is seriously one of the best artists around. Couldnt be more happy with my entire experience at Talisman.
Highly recommend, professional, friendly, and very satisfied with my piercing. Great jewelry selection and will definitely return.
Great service, good quality jewelry and clean. They sanitize everything and show you.
Great jewelry and stellar piercing artists!
Love my new piercings! Awesome work.
Always professionally done! Loyal customer!

Amazing, dude great vives, great service, I love this place
I am tattooing here now, check me out on IG kevinhintontattoo
Piercer was amazing!
Got my nose priced here and it was prefect, clean and, very friendly
Disappointingly unprofessional. I booked an appointment well in advance of a visit to SF. Called to confirm hours before appointment to find they no longer could accommodate me. Didnt bother calling to let me know. Luckily Dungeon Tattoo saved the day!
The people that work here are professionals, they really know what theyre doing. The employees take pride in what they do.
SUPER professional, approachable, knowledgeable and clean!!!!
Phil is very professional. Everything used is sterile, very clean. I will only get my piercings here. And I live 45 minutes away.
Very friendly and professional
Beautiful study, found for an inflamed lobe emergency. The jewels are a little expensive, but a vast assortment and kind staff.
