Kourtney Lefevre
Founder / Artist
The Black Opal Tattoo & Piercing team prides ourselves on giving 100% of our attention to detail and effort. No piece is taken lightly; after all, this is forever!
Our talented artists specialize in creating unique and personalized designs tailored to your individual style and preferences.
We can expertly cover up unwanted tattoos with new, beautiful designs where you can't even tell a prior tat was there.
We use only the highest quality inks and equipment to ensure long-lasting and vibrant tattoos.
We offer a wide range of piercings, from traditional to contemporary, performed by experienced and certified piercers.
We offer touch-up services to maintain the vibrancy and clarity of your existing tattoos for many years to come.
We create a relaxed and welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable and confident.
For us, those words are the basis on what we stand on and not just some tag line. We stand by our work and are only as good as our last piece. To let you leave here with something less than perfect is completely unacceptable. You become a walking billboard and talking advertisement for us. The best advertisement we can place is our work on you!
Along with providing some of the area's best work (clients words, not ours), we offer very competitive pricing for our services. Below you will see standard pricing for our most requested services, but feel free to discuss any custom or special requests!

I've had several tattoos from Kourtney and love every one! Just got matching tattoos with a cousin for a great price and the artwork was beyond anything around! The shop is always clean and Kourtney goes well above and beyond for all her clients!

Very nice people and they make sure you love the design you are wanting before starting.
One of the best tattoo places around! Kourtney went above and beyond and designed a piece that gets attention everywhere I go! Absolutely recommended 10/10 and best prices that nobody can complain about!!
Thank you for your excellent artistry on my son Caleb! I trusted the right establishment to give my son a safe and amazing tattoo!
Our reputation speaks for itself. We take pride in what we do and love every minute of it. This isn’t “work” for us; it is a passion. At Black Opal you are going to get a great tattoo at a fair price and we’re betting you will like your artist. If we can provide that, we know you will be a customer of ours for life, as well as your friends and family.
Whether it's your first time getting a tattoo/piercing or you are a pro, there still may be some questions you may have. Please feel free to ask us anything about our process or experience. Below are some of the most frequent questions we get.
We are pleased to announce that we will now be accepting walk-in appointments! Stop by anytime during normal business hours for a same-day session.
Please contact the shop, or your artist directly in order to be added to their respective waitlists. We understand you want to get in as soon as possible, but please be as flexible as you can with us when booking your appointment.
Yes, we absolutely do! We have professional piercers on staff ready to assist.
General rule of thumb: the clearer, the better. Dry, chaffed, sunburned, irritated, and/or broken out skin will not tattoo well and will ultimately hinder the quality of your tattoo once healed. If you are suffering from any type of skin issue, we may ask you to choose another area to have us tattoo or reschedule your appointment.
Yes. Consultations are free and highly recommended.
You will meet with your artist on a set day and time for approximately 1/2 hour in order to review your vision as well as its location, sizing and details. If your tattoo appointment isn’t already booked, your tattooist will schedule you by the end of your consultation. It is also common for your artist to request you put down a deposit in order to hold the spot.
Yes. If you have a piece that you are no longer a fan of, we would be happy to make it into something you’re thrilled about. Contact one of our artists directly to discuss & plan out your cover-up process.
The use of antibiotics shortly before getting your tattoo or during the healing stage will likely affect the integrity of the tattoo and it is not recommended. Please try to avoid taking antibiotics 30 days before and 30 days after getting a new tattoo, if possible.
Please do not drink alcohol or use any type of blood thinning OTC medication (such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin) within 24 hours of your appointment.
Please refrain from sun exposure/tanning beds the 2 weeks prior to (as well as the 2 weeks after) your appointment. Get a good rest the night before, eat a full meal, and drink lots of water before coming in. We also recommend that you wear loose, comfortable clothing that will limit obstruction to the area that we will be tattooing.
