OWNERS
Jon Morse has been a tattoo artist for over 25 years and is the owner of Devotion Tattoo, Boise’s original walk-in tattoo studio. Known for his mastery of traditional American and Japanese styles, Jon has built a reputation for offering world-class tattooing in a welcoming and professional environment.
Beyond the tattoo chair, Jon’s artwork explores contrast and intentionality—powerful compositions paired with subtle finesse, clarity, and precision. Through minimalist organic forms and carefully chosen palettes, his pieces invite viewers into a space of flow, contemplation, and connection.
As co-owner of Boise Tattoo Convention, Jon brings the same dedication to artistry and community that defines his studio. His vision is to create a platform where tattoo culture thrives, bringing together artists and collectors to celebrate creativity, tradition, and innovation.
Mary Coleman has been around the tattoo community for over 15 years, first as a client of Jon Morse—who created some of her earliest tattoos—and later as a assistant in his shop, and a volunteer at the original Treasure Valley Tattoo Convention. Jon’s influence helped spark her deep appreciation for tattooing and tattoo culture, shaping a lifelong passion for the art form.
When the COVID-19 pandemic brought the convention to a halt, Mary felt a strong pull to see it revived. Years later, she approached Jon about bringing it back, and with his blessing and guidance, she took on the challenge of carrying the tradition forward.
With over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, Mary brings a strong background in organization and planning to her role as co-owner of Boise Tattoo Convention. For her, the convention is more than just an event — it’s a way to honor artists, celebrate creativity, and give back to the community that has inspired her for so long.
