Mike is our resident hottie here at Burn the Boats. Once a career fashion model now turned common street trash, he leaves you guessing as to what’s going to happen next.

Spending a literal lifetime collecting useless knowledge, crummy dad jokes, conspiracy theories and some pretty rad artifacts. You will need to buckle in for the roller coaster ride which is his creation here in Meridian. Mike enjoys long walks on the beach, a good tequila, and has been tattooing since 2008.

If there is anything you should know about Sarah Cooper it’s that you should get to know Sarah Cooper. She was born and raised in the unrelenting furnace that is Lake Havasu Arizona. Where she brought a vibrant and colorful art style to the otherwise sand colored town. If you were to ever brave the 120 degree plus temperatures and visit her old town her work is easy to spot. Nothing grows there so if you see a flower your probably looking at a recently sunburned Sarah Cooper original. Much to her clients dismay. She recently sailed away from the hellscape that is the Mohave desert, and promptly burned her boat upon arriving here in Meridian. With a decade of tattoo experience under her belt she has arrived ready to share her art with you. So if you want a tattoo that’s as kickass as a muay thai donkey then look no further. Feel free to fire your therapist because Sarah’s book’s are currently open.

Born and raised in the Boise/Meridian area. I was a kid with big dreams and an obsession with art and tattoos. Growing up I told my parents all the time I was going to be a tattoo artist, I’m sure that was music to their ears haha, Junior year of high school rolled around and I made the decision to commit to my dreams! I enrolled in an online school, completed my junior and senior year in a few months, And started working full time. The time came to find a tattoo shop and lo and behold, I stumbled upon Mike, the amazing owner of BTB. Mike saw something in me and decided to give me a chance at 17! Who says miracles don’t happen? A little about me, I enjoy working hard for what I want, weightlifting, sketching, skateboarding, mountain biking, boxing, eating anything spicy, and getting to hangout and tattoo with my amazing coworkers!
