Best in Montana. Period.

Best Tattoo Shop in Montana in the 2025 Distinctly Montana Best of Montana Awards

Over 100,000 nominations. Over 100,000 votes.

And out of them all, The Loyal Sparrow ascended to the top.

We are beyond proud to reveal that we have been crowned Best Tattoo Shop in Montana in the 2025 Distinctly Montana Best of Montana Awards.

This honor isn't just a plaque on the wall. It is validation of what we already knew—Montana's tattoo community is fierce, loyal, and unapologetically supportive. Every vote, every client who has been seated in our chairs, every work of art we've created together—it all led to this point of gratitude.

But Wait, There's More

We are thrilled to announce that our talented Ethan Diliberto has been chosen as the Best Tattoo Artist in Montana! Have you had the privilege to witness his skills? If so, you know there’s a mesmerizing blend of precision and raw passion in every finished piece. Ethan doesn’t just slap on tattoos; he spins visceral narratives that hit hard and leave an artistic mark. His reputation precedes him across the Treasure State, and we couldn’t be more excited!

And our friend Ashley Johnson, owner of Faded in Montana (located inside The Loyal Sparrow), has been recognized as Elite Top Three for both Best Hair Color in Montana and Best Hair Salon in Montana. Her artistry with color and style is next-level, and we’re proud to celebrate her alongside our wins.

More Than a Shop

At The Loyal Sparrow, we have consistently stood for more than tattoos. We have created a space of inclusivity, where creativity thrives, and ink weaves the stories of Montana and beyond. To be recognized as the best isn't just about us—it's about our exceptional community that made it possible.

What's Next

Awards are nice. But you know what exceeds that recognition? The opportunities that are yet to come. The flash days. The collabs. The guest artists. The community events.

And, the grand ideas we haven't even put on paper yet. This win isn't the end of the story—it's just the next chapter.

So thank you, Montana. Thank you for believing in us, backing us, and making The Loyal Sparrow your tattoo shop. Here's to what comes next.
