Imperial Body Art opened its doors March 2003. We specialize in Custom Tattoo work, Precision Body Piercing, and Scarification.
All our tattooists are accomplished artists and can draw any design you're after.
Stephen Gilchrist has been tattooing since '97 and is highly skilled at creating any design you're after.
Jeff McIlvaine has been tattooing since 2002. He got his start right here in Boise at Nobody's Hero. He has since been tattooing in New Mexico, Colorado, and Alabama - and now he's back in Idaho.
Donna Darko is Stephen's apprentice. She is an incredibly talented artist and one of the industry's up-and-coming stars.
