My overall experience at this shop was wonderful. The entire staff is very friendly and professional. It was awhile back when I had my tattoo done by Freddie, who no longer works there, but it was the best experience I've had at a tattoo shop and I've been to many. I hate to say it, but the majority of tattoo artists I've come across have huge egos and expect respect and recognition. I got to talking to one woman at a different shop about it and she flat out told me tattoo artists are basically "rockstars and can do whatever they want". Nonetheless, I had a sleeve done on my left upper arm and Freddie did a fantastic job bringing my ideas into one cohesive image. He was extremely considerate and asked me to let him know when I wanted to take a break. Like I said it was a big piece that had to be split into two days, but Freddie had no problem with me taking breaks for as long as I needed. The piece came out beautiful and I haven't been to a different shop or artist ever since. I am being genuine when I say that the owner and all of the staff at Fallen Owl are very down to earth and willing to work with their clients to make sure you end up with a piece of art that you will love the rest of your life. The staff is great at taking your idea and giving feedback on what will look best while also respectfully letting you know if something won't look good or isn't a good idea. Freddie now has his own shop, so that would probably be the first place I'd go to get more work done, but if I had to choose a different shop it would definitely be Fallen Owl. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who wants an awesome piece that they will never regret. read more

Bad artist, had to pay $700 to fix his mess on my leg after he postponed a tattoo that was supposed to be finished in one session. DON'T trust these "artists" that leave you with unfinished work. Artist did not listen to my feedback on his subpar design. Had to have a more talented artists fix this shoddy work & it cost a lot to repair. Manager tried to argue with me about the shitty service from their artist. Do not trust this place. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! The shop is clean and welcoming. They didn't act like they were doing me a favor by tattooing me = didn't have the "we're so cool, cooler than you" vibe. And of course, I'm in love with my custom tattoo! read more

The hubs and I just got back from a life changing, incredible trip to South Africa. I wanted a simple line drawing tattoo of a giraffe as a reminder of the amazing experiences we had. I haven't gotten a tattoo since I was 18 so let's just say it's been a while ;) I found the staff to be really friendly when I called and set the appointment for the consultation. When I showed up for the consultation, Tony was available to do the tattoo right then which was great. It was a simple, black and white, smaller sized tattoo on the outside of my ankle. He was awesome and I really love the work he did! read more

Solid shop, got a cover up done in 2022 and wanted more work done, went back to see Matt again! This round was a little different, went in for my consultation he told me a simple greenhouse with minimal line work on my arm was no problem again I physically went in and talked to him before 1. I made the appointment and thought we were all on the same page. My appointment was pushed back which is fine don't mind if you have things to do we all have life things but I find it EXTREMELY disheartening and unprofessional when not even an hour and a half before my pushed back appointment the dude texts me and tell me "I don't think it's going to work I'm afraid over time it will look shitty" like why the hell didn't you tell me this when I went in for my consult? Ended up settling for some leaves which are nice but def not what I wanted and I probably should have used my better judgement and just cancelled the appointment. I'll come back to Fallen Owl maybe but not to Matt since a customer should get what they pay for and if I'm told you can do it and then you can't right before the appointment yeah I think I'll take my money to California and actually get the ink I want!! read more

Fallen Owl Tattoo - What I ended up getting - Tattoo Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

Chris was awesome! I can't wait to go back for another tattoo. I went to Chris with scattered ideas of what I wanted for a sleeve after seeing his amazing work online. He helped me make sense of what would look best. He was so helpful and enthusiastic. I spent many hours there, the conversation was great too. I really couldn't be happier. I get so many compliments too. I also appreciate the all-around experience I had at Fallen Owl. You walk in and it instantly feels like everyone there is your friend, joking around, sharing stories. They are very attentive and thoughtful. I've been to a lot of places for tattoos, in various states, and this is by far my favorite. I absolutely recommend both Fallen Owl and specifically Chris, but only if you want an absolutely fabulous tattoo! ;) read more

The first tattoo I got was nothing short of a VERY bad mistake. One that I looked at for 9+ years. When I finally took the plunge to get it covered up I was not going to go to just anyone for this endeavor. I searched many tattoo studios before landing upon Fallen Owl Tattoo. I could not find ONE SINGLE bad review about this place. After stopping in to schedule the appointment. I looked at the art work of Chris Hamilton and that is who I chose for my tattoo. My friend chose to use Angell Dominguez. His work was equally as good. We both went to schedule our appointments and they were booked further out then we may have thought. This might bother few people but this to me was a good sign of true artists. Chris Hamilton, my tattoo artist, took my loosely based idea and Pinterest picture and turned it into pure perfection. I was beyond pleased with what he created. I have to give Chris major props too, I am not a complete pussy, but I did my fair share of groaning and whining, so he was nice enough not to make me feel badly about it. If I wasn't trying to rap to Dr. Dre then I was singing the ABC's (might I add I thought this was in my head but everyone heard). He was good about keeping a conversation going when needed and silent when that was what was best to keep me calm and to keep my mind off the actual tattoo. He was funny and made me laugh. If I get another tattoo this is the only place I would do it. Overall this place is clean, professional and full of extremely talented artists so I feel its safe to say that these people know what they're doing. I would also like to point out that they were not elitist snobs unlike some other places you may wander into. I could not recommend this place more. I am absolutely head over heels in love with my tattoo...it more than exceeded my expectations! read more

Matt was fantastic! He was talkative, made sure I was happy with my tattoo throughout the whole process, and was so helpful/understanding when I felt faint after the tattoo was done. My tattoo of my grandmas handwriting turned out exactly as I imagined it would. read more

Fallen Owl Tattoo is absolutely wonderful. The service I've recieved from various employees throughout my tattoo scheduling, consultation, and design process was phenomenal. I don't have a single bad thing to say. The environment there is very fun and welcoming; the employees are all very helpful and not condescending at all, which is a breath of fresh air compared to other shops I have visited. Angell Dominguez was the one behind the work and design of my tattoo and I am absolutely amazed at his work. He is the newest artist there, but his portfolio is extremely impressive. After the initial consultation I came back a few days later for my appointment, he was able to fit me in quickly. When I got there he showed me the design and it was exactly what I had imagined and I LOVED it. The tattoo itself took about 3 1/2 hours and Angell made sure I was comfortable throughout and allowed for breaks whenever it was needed. He is extremely professional and a wonderful artist who will listen to your wants and needs very closely. I will absolutely be coming back to him for more work. read more

Heather did so amazing with my tattoo! This is the first time I've ever seen her, and she answered any questions that I had, and made sure that I was comfortable throughout my tattoo. This is my 4th, and by far one of the easiest times I have sat in the chair. If you come get a tattoo, come here. The atmosphere is so wonderful, and tje people are so pleasant. read more

Fallen Owl Tattoo - The tattoo Heather Renyolds did - Tattoo Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

After doing some research, I chose Angell at Fallen Owl Tattoo for my cover up tattoo. His portfolio has some awesome cover-ups so I knew I would be in good hands. At my consultation, I was really vague about what I wanted - just a pretty flower(s) that would cover my old tattoo. On the day of my appointment, Angell drew my design directly on my body. After looking at it, I knew it was exactly what I wanted. We discussed colors and before I knew it, I was finished and completely amazed. He is a true artist. My before and after pictures are in the photos - before is a heart and the final is an amazing flower piece. I absolutely love my new tattoo. If you are debating where to go, pick Angell at Fallen Owl. His work is amazing! He books up a few months out so get in there now for your consult. I can't wait to go back! read more

Recently went to Fallen Owl to have a "cover up" piece done. I went with Jim Couturier for the work. We worked together a week before the process and Jim was great about really trying to get an idea of what I wanted. The piece I wanted had to cover an old tribal that I have had for over 22 years... I also wanted it to represent who am now and an emotional journey that I have recently been on in the forests of Yosemite & the Sequoias. I wanted mountains and pine trees. I showed Jim some pieces I had seen online and then he came up with a rendering that was incredible and all his own! Jim was professional, clean, fast, a joy to speak with for 2 hours - AND he is a fantastic artist! He covered my old tribal with a beautiful piece mountain/pine tree art work! I couldn't be more happier with my new tattoo! Fallen Owl is a well-run, clean, & professional establishment! The staff is great & easy to work with! I will definitely be heading back for my next tattoo at Fallen Owl! read more

Scheduled a tattoo with Dalis and put a deposit down. Emailed him a detailed art concept which he never bothered to do anything with. Emailed and called several times with zero attention or response from him or the office there. He just didn't care. Called the owner and he did send back the deposit. read more

I just completed my 6th tattoo with Chris. He is a total pro and I love working with him. He is personable and helped guide me into an amazing half sleeve. He gives you his opinion without being pushy. He took my vision and gave me some tattoos that I couldn't be more happy with. This shop is awesome and has none of the attitude that a lot of other tattoo shops come with. I would recommend fallen owl tattoo to anyone. read more

It has been quite some time since I had my tattoo done by Chris Hamilton at this shop, I've been meaning to get to this review out because my experience was awesome! Originally I was set to work with another artist, that artist left the shop between the first meeting and the time my appointment was supposed to take place, I got a call to tell me I could either take my deposit back or I can work with another artist. I chose to stay at the shop since I liked pretty much all the artist portfolios on the website. I met with Chris once to go over my idea, he told me he could have it done in one session and drew up something pretty cool. He finished my tattoo in just under 3 hours and i couldn't have been happier with the final product. It's been a little over a year and the colors are still bright, and i get compliments almost daily. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a professional, clean, friendly shop. read more

Fallen Owl Tattoo - 1 year after work was done! - Tattoo Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

I came in for a small tattoo, just one word on my forearm. I had a rough idea of what I wanted the lettering to be like but didn't have the exact font. I worked with Polly to hand-write the letters and, after a few attempts, she seemed to get what I was going for. I'm not a very picky person (come to think of it, maybe that makes me harder to work with) but this is something that's going to be on me forever, so I did make a few tweaks and edits to what Polly drew up. This seems like a normal thing to me (not my first tattoo and I've never felt bad about it before), but I got the feeling that she thought I was just being a princess... Ultimately, I liked what we came up with and she made the stencil. When it came to placing it, she seemed a little annoyed when I asked to adjust the stencil a bit so it looked straighter to me. The place on my arm that I wanted it was tough for me to reach so it took me a couple of tries to get it right where I wanted it. Again, this is something I will see every day and, being the girl who usually won't tell my hair-stylist that I don't like something, I was worried about not speaking up and then being stuck with a mistake. In hind-sight, I shouldn't have felt bad about what she thought and just moved it till I was 1000% sure of the placement, because now it still looks a little crooked to me. Oh well, I'm OCD so it may just be me. After the stencil was placed, she went ahead with the tattooing. She did an awesome job with the needle - very steady hand - and it came out looking the way I wanted it to initially. It's been about 3 weeks and the tattoo is mostly healed, and now that the surface-level ink (you know, the ink that looks super bold but wears off as your skin heals) has sloughed off and healed over, there are big gaps in the tattoo lettering. I don't pretend to know anything about the actual art of tattooing, so I don't know if my skin reacted weird (though, it never got itchy or red after the initial tattooing), if she didn't ink deep enough, or what but it's definitely something I have to get redone. I'm sure I could go back to Polly and have her touch it up, but I live out of state and won't be back in CO till next year, so I will need to pay another artist to do it again. Ugh. All in all, the shop was very nice, accommodating, and reasonably priced. I didn't make an appointment (because I was just in from out of town and had heard good things about Fallen Owl) and they were awesome about squeezing me in as a walk-in. It's a very clean space and everyone was friendly. I am pretty bummed that I will have to get the tattoo fixed already (and pay for it again! Not their fault but still sucks.) and I would say that if I went back, it would only be with my design already sketched out. Polly did a nice job but I just kept feeling like I was inconveniencing her by making suggestions to the stencil/placement, so I wouldn't do that again. read more

Great place for a tat! I had the pleasure of having Jim as my artist. I had a cover up that I have been wanting for several years, he worked with me when I found what I wanted to cover this "name" up with, using his recommendations as far as contrast, size, etc. Jim did a fantastic job! My girl had a tat done by Jim a few weeks prior and he knocked her tat out of the park. Thank you Jim! read more

On June 24th, I went in for my second tattoo ever. I had made the appointment about 2 weeks earlier and talked with the artist Polly. I had a general idea of what I wanted and she had given me a quick sketch to help me out. I came in and she was very friendly and made me feel good about my decision. I hadn't had a tattoo that was this detailed or colored. I was there for about 2.5 hours and she even let my buddy watch (he was curious). When it came time to see the art I was extremely happy on the placement and how beautiful it turned out. She charged me for only 2 hours, even though it was longer. I would recommend Polly and the shop, the negative reports received recently are shocking to me but don't let those scare you off. read more

Awesome shop. Everyone that works there is professional, laid-back and accommodating. I got a full sleeve and a sock done by Adam Rose and am definitely happy I picked this shop. I wasn't really sure what I initially wanted, I had a general idea but no specifics. After the first initial general scheme I was impressed and the fill-in elements and background were awesome. Honestly after the first few sessions I trusted his creativity more than what I was envisioning. After my full sleeve I got my sock done and I couldn't be happier with that either. On top of that, he was really on top of the whole sterile technique situation and very careful about cleanliness. Everyone there is cool, the atmosphere is fun and I always had a good time hanging out even after 3 hours of burning. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the Denver area, highly recommend. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about this tattoo shop. My first first tattoo I sat for 5.5 hours. Angell Dominguez you are the man. If you want a tattoo done right this is your man. I promise he will not let you down. This was an amazing experience. Not only Did the tattoo come out perfect but I was able to bullshit and have a good time with both the artists tattooing at that time. Adam rose has set up a great shop with only the best artists. Thank you for making this first experience a great one. I will only get my work done from here on out. Thank you again. read more

You might have to wait to get in, but they are worth the wait! Adam did an original piece for my husband and I. We love it! He was kind and professional. The place is clean and everyone is friendly and inviting. Going in for more soon! read more

Angell did an amazing job on my newest piece!! I've been looking around for a great artist in my area and Fallen Owl has popped up numerous times. I've done my research and really fell in love with Angell's work. I was a little nervous that being on my sternum would be incredibly painful. Being the master that Angell is, I could have almost fallen asleep in his chair. He was very gentle and super easy to talk to. I can't wait to have him do more work on me! read more

Sometimes in life we may take a chance and hit a jackpot. Well this is an understatement for the tattoo I got today from Heather. Visiting from out of state, I took a chance at Fallen Owl just by driving past the saloon and then looking at other reviews. From my 1st email just inquiring about "possibly" getting a tattoo to the second I walked out of the saloon, I was treated with the upmost positive care and beyond beautiful artwork! Not only was the saloon extremely clean; taking every possible precaution with the current pandemic, the owner/artist (Adam) and Heather made me feel like I have been a client there for years. Let's just say that anytime in my future I want another one, I will fly the 5 hours just to have the best of the best experience! Thank you again Heather for your professionalism and articulate hand & artistic creation!!!! read more

Been here 3 long sessions so far. Angell Dominguez did a sick Cello/tree on my wife's back a few months ago. He's been working on my fantasy world collage of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones(chest n arm.) Nothing but genius from him. His vision is frightening, almost alien like. Love this place, everyone I see come in walks out with sick pieces of art! read more

I was a fan when they used to be Body Graffix tattoo, but the new shop looks even better!!! Awesome group of artists! You can't ask for a better, more comfortable shop to get your tattoo at!

Polly is probably one of the best tattoo artists in the Denver area. We looked at a lot of artists work and her's really caught my husband's eye. My husband recently got a military tattoo done by her and it looks absolutely amazing and I'm not normally one for tattoos at all. When he came home with the finished product (2 sessions) I was blown away by the color and the detail within the tattoo, never seen one like it before. He had nothing but positive things to say about her and the shop. I told him he could never get more tattoos, but now I might let him get one more... Thanks for making my husband happy and I'm really impressed with the work. read more

Fantastic experience. I received two cover up/RE-work pieces from two different artists here. The first from Kayden DiGiovanni. I was so thrilled I came back shortly after but he was no longer there. Instead Angell Dominguez really took care of the the second time and thoroughly won me over!! He is such a kind, talented guy! I now feel like I have a true piece of art on my body instead of a slapped on tattoo. I am so grateful I found this shop and no doubt will be back. One warning, always a couple months out always but so very worth it! read more

I had been wanting a crab tattoo for a long time but just kept putting it off. I am so glad I did because now I have Polly doing my tattoo. Two of my friends have work by her and the tattoos look amazing. Her reaction when I mentioned to her I was interested in getting a crab, told me I had the right person. I gave her my ideas and left it in her hands. When I went back she had created an amazing piece. I didn't have to change a thing. We are halfway through and I can't wait to see the finished tattoo. read more

Got a micro tattoo here last night. Yes, my tattoo was very simple - a tiny roman numeral - but Kayden totally rocked it! My friend and I, same tattoo, different locations, are so, so happy. We were both first time tattooees and super nervous. Everyone from the front desk to the tattoo artist to the owner made us feel reassured. Very clean, very thorough. As anxious newbies, we wanted our design, again so simple, to be changed multiple times. Kayden showed us nothing but patience. Thank you everyone!!!! read more

I LOVE this place!!!! I went in with 3 tattoos on my leg and foot, all by different artists at different times in my life. Adam thoughtfully looked at them and gave me some ideas of how he could make them look more cohesive. He is an amazing artist and I am so happy with how it turned out! Everyone at the shop was wonderful from the minute I walked in. They were friendly, professional and fun to be around. The shop is clean and very comfortable to be in. I can't imagine a better experience!! In my opinion this is by far the BEST shop in Denver!!! read more
