walked in on a random tuesday. Tristan took very good care of me and my lady and gave us some amazing tattoos. shop was clean, professional and i would say a very chill spot to get inked. everyone in the building was very kind. all artists produce quality work. definitely will be back for more tattoos from Tristan ! read more

Conversing with my barber one day, I shared I was itching for my first tattoo, what of? she asked, the Millennium Falcon! She asked if I'd been to Ink Inertia and met Phil yet? No, but I soon did! Phil is so well met, busy w clients, but took five mins to hear what style tattooing I was looking for, alleviated my first time jitters and scheduled me six weeks out, first opening he had, another good sign of a good artist! Six weeks later, he was ready for me, had a plan that I loved! He got started, great conversation, took breaks when we both needed it, hammered a fine lined tattoo out in four hours. I was thrilled! The healing process was easy, looking to go back next month for the shading. I highly recommend Phil at Ink Inertia, solid guy and artist! read more

Ink Inertia - Fine line tattoo by Phil Meyer at Ink Inertia, May 2022. - Tattoo Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Phil is one of the best tattoo artists I've ever met. He's done quite a few of my tattoos, honestly, I've lost count. I'd recommend Phil specifically, as he knows what he's doing. If you lest him take creative control, he will pleasantly surprise you with his ideas and abilities to make your ideas reality. The studio is also really cool, with a million and one magazines and art pieces everywhere. Brownie points if you like Star Wars! read more

As soon as you walk into the shop, it has a great vibe. Low key but warm and welcoming - and CLEAN. Each artist's station is totally personalized and you get a good feel for their different styles. I had a decent idea of what I wanted, but Joel really tied it all together. I literally only showed him a few photos that were very different, and he proceeded to completely freehand my entire tattoo (see photos). It was meaningful to me and he made certain to include each different element. Along the way, he also paused so I could check the progress and he constantly made sure I wasn't too uncomfortable (I wasn't, I was a champ LOL). It turned out better than I imagined, and ai am blown away it was freehanded! There were multiple other people getting work done while I was there, and most of them were repeat clients. It's obvious from the conversations I heard that the artists put a lot into their client relationships and don't view them as just customers. To address the couple of negative reviews - I actually asked Joel about them and he explained the situation to me. If you are on the fence whatsoever about coming in, don't be! These guys are transparent, continue their training and education constantly, and are incredible artists. I'll be back for #2 soon! read more

Awesome shop, great atmosphere and friendly staff. I came in with 3 other people and was able to do a walk-in with Rain who did an amazing job on all 4 of the tattoos. I am here again to get a cover up! I would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. Thank you for the best tattoo experience! read more

This is the spot to go in the 719 for fantastic custom ink, knowledgeable staff and friendly artists who will give you a one of a kind piece. This was my second appointment with Erik, AKA "cynereo". He did this custom piece on me after I was touched deeply by the song "Elastic Heart" by Sia. I have struggled with self harm and suicidal thoughts for several years after a very traumatic experience giving birth to my son. I told him about the meaning of the song to me and he came up with this beautiful heart made of rubber bands. He is such a great artist, I am already working on several other custom pieces with him, to include a cover up of a massive (and horrible) 'tramp stamp' tribal butterfly that I got on my 18th birthday! Great shop. CLEAN, fair pricing. You won't be disappointed. Long wait for appointments, but that is to be expected for the best shop in Colorado Springs. Also, I would like to defend my artist. There is a one star review on here about him. Don't pay attention to that. Artists NEVER send the sketch for custom pieces to their new clients prior to appointments. It's not a thing. If they did, the client could then take that photo to another shop and have some other "artist" copy their work. (Please disregard that review.) read more

This is the review I left after I got a tattoo here by one of their artists and one of the owners asked if I would let him try to "fix" it. But he ended up effing it up more by adding a rock under the lions face. WTF? DO NOT COME HERE FOR A TATTOO! They will charge you a lot for a tattoo and mess it up and you will be stuck with it for the rest of your life. read more

Definitely will NEVER go back here!! The artist Ryn completely destroyed my first tattoo experience! Ryn never responded to any of my messages regarding getting my tattoos touched up... initially we were scheduled to finished my sleeve but she cancelled a couple of days prior and said she could only book me out a month from there. I told her that'll be hard since I'm back to work! I had messaged her for nearly two weeks and no reply. My tattoos look horrible! I brung my baby bearded dragon (whom passed away a few days after) to the shop for one of my sessions supposedly she got in trouble for that! If it was a problem I'm sure a higher up would've said something. Not let me sit there and take my money! She would never post any of my tats that supports my career in law enforcement like she's against it! I reached out to Phil one of the owners and he scheduled me in to fix her horrible mistakes, but after our first session, she sends me a nasty text message so I decided to reach out to the owner and let him know I will not be back.. Five tattoos later including a half of sleeve, I'm paying someone else AGAIN to fix her mistakes! So BEWARE!! BTW, my tattoos are only a few months old and they look 20 years old!!! read more

The artist, Art, I had, had done my tattoo and did well for someone that has tattooed for 2 years, but after charging 100$/hour and finishing after 3, I had paid and informed him that I wanted to pay the tip in cash but had to run home and grab it, once leaving he had informed me that he would rather do it the next day (which I worked) and then once not receiving a NOT obligated tip since changing times and having work, he proceeded to contact my unit and leadership threatening to contact CSPD to which. Very Unprofessional. read more

I've been getting tattooed at Ink Inertia for years. All of the artists are amazing. They do clean, quality, custom work that you won't find anywhere else. They are attentive and not pretentious and help keep you smiling and comfortable through the whole process from drawing to tattooing to aftercare. I highly recommend Ink Inertia. My personal artist is Joel Hart, but I've also met and seen work by all of the other artists and would recommend any of them. read more

Great shop! Each artist has there own personalized private space! Carlos always does amazing work

I walked in here to get a piercing and was a bit disappointed to find out that they do not currently have a piercing employee, but I will say that the customer service was fantastic. I was given a lot of attention for my questions to be answered and for some small talk, even though I wasn't getting anything done or making a purchase. I was given a recommendation on a place to go for piercings and that also turned out to be a great experience. Therefore, I really do appreciate the time and customer service that I received today from Ink Inertia and will be looking at this business for my next tattoo. read more

I would like to say that this facility was a great one initially when I came in to have a consulte with Eric regarding a tattoo that I wanted, which was custom also a design that I song online. Based on the pictures and the ideas that I had, i came in for consult due to the complexity of the tattoo I wanted. he took pictures of the current tattoo I had because the idea was to incorporate what I had into the new tattoo. he explained to me he could do it! So we scheduled me for an appointment 2 months out and told me he would be able to provide me with a sketch of the tattoo a week prior to my appointment. that never happened. I had to call him and text him asking him when I would see the sketch? He then told me that he had back-to-back appointments and that he could not stop doing other people's work that had appointments before mine just to provide me the sketch. Mind you this was now one day before my appointment. He then went on to say he would work on my design the night before and I would see it the day of my appt. When I came in to see what he had drawn he never incorporated the tattoo that we originally discussed, he pretty much drew up what he wanted, said it looked really nice to him and that it went with what I already had on my body. When I explain to him this is not what I told him I wanted or showed him during our consultation he began to make up MORE excuses when I asked him why he did not use the original piece that I told him I wanted. He said that he did not feel comfortable because the design was tribal and had some aztec and henna designs that he did not feel comfortable doing because he did not know the meaning behind them. I explained to him what it meant and that I don't get random tattoos on my body simply because they look nice. I requested My deposit back at which he was hesitant at doing when he said this is a part of him doing the sketches when in the text the night before, he disgruntly told me he does not get paid for sketching, he gets paid for the actual work he does on his clients. Which was another lie and excuse to not refund me my deposit. At the end of the day this this was supposed to be an exciting experience. Looked forward to and waited over a month for. In all that time Of waiting there could have been many discussions and clarification about this tattoo. Ultimately this turned out being a nightmare! This individual is unprofessional. I will not speak to the facility as a whole because I do not know how others there operate, But Eric had one too many excuses, chances To verify and clarify what I wanted, Was very rude, Lied to me about his comfort level in doing this tattoo for me, And missed his deadline. I provided him so many references there were so many times that I could have came in between the 2 months prior to my appointment to get clarification but because he was so busy that never happen. With this guy proceed at your own risk, be very specific about what you want, and ask him about his comfort level in doing certain work Because at the end of the day you may end up with something completely different that you wanted in the 1st place. If You're reading this Eric just know how tacky and unprofessional you were with me. Bad news travels faster than good news. I hope this is a learning experience for you as it was for me. read more

This was a very clean shop tucked away in a corner. Jimi was amazing. He worked with my husband and created exactly what we envisioned. The waiting area had comfortable furniture. read more

I've had this mushroom tattoo since I was fifteen and it was time to cover it up. I sought out Erick Olano to do my cover up. I have him the concept of what I wanted and he hit every aspect of what I was after. From the moment you walk in the door to the moment u finish these guys are great. I highly recommend getting your work done here read more

Joel is an amazing artist! The space is clean, neat, and uncluttered. I definitely recommend.

My 17 yr old son wanted a small tattoo to capture the bond he has with his brothers. The artists at Ink Inertia came highly recommended. We scheduled an appointment. We were told upfront that we would need not only our IDs but his birth certificate to ensure I had the authority to consent to the tattoo. When we arrived what struck me first is that the shop is super clean. Each sectioned off work space is open enough allow others to observe while still offering privacy. It was immediately apparent that all of the artist take pride in their work spaces. Judah Monjure was my son's tattoo artist. He was clean and professional in his appearance. He was friendly and courteous. Judah made sure the design was what my son wanted. He showed my son different placement options to ensure that my son would be happy with the outcome. He completely explained what was going to happen and how it would work out. He made my son feel comfortable and made me, as an observer, feel welcome. I would absolutely recommend the shop and there is no question that I would recommend Judah to anyone wanting ink! read more
