Doesn't get any better than Jenny Lee at Monarch Tattoo in Denver. I've been getting work done by Jenny for the past five years. She's done my last three large pieces and each time I have been completely satisfied by her superior artistry and customer service. Her professionalism and fair pricing for the high quality of work is what sets her apart from other artists in the business. Jenny's eye for detail and her superior technique means that my tattoos are complimented nearly every day. She's always been responsive to what I have communicated to her and she's committed to getting the designs the way that I want before she begins tattooing. That being said, with her expertise, I always trust her suggestions about what makes a great tattoo and she's never steered me wrong; she's that damn good. I've sadly moved away from Denver to NYC but I honestly can't bring myself to go about finding a new artist here. I plan to fly back to Denver just to get tattooed by Jenny, that's how amazing she is and how one-of-a-kind her work and skills are. If you can't already tell, I highly recommend Jenny Lee and Monarch Tattoo for the smallest or largest tattoos you're looking to have done. She's known throughout Denver as an incredible artist and a fantastic person. Her reputation precedes her and I have recommended her to my friends consistently for the last 5 years. Did I mention she's one of the few female artists in the business in Denver? Pretty amazing to have amassed a reputation like hers in what is still so much a "boys club." She's humble, she works hard, she charges a fair price and she does the best work. What's not to love? read more

I LOVE MONARCH! Welcoming, clean, professional. Jenny and Patrick are the best! I look forward to and count the days and hours to each appointment because it's truly a great experience to be around such kind and creative individuals. Getting tattooed is as much about the experience as it is about the finished product and there is no one in the world I would rather share that experience with than the lovely Miss Jenny Lee. When I moved to Denver in 2011 I was nervous about finding the perfect tattoo studio. I researched for a couple of years and spent a lot of time comparing shops and portfolios. I saw Jenny's art beautifully displayed on a new friend and knew that I found what I was looking for. I made my consultation appointment the next day. Jenny listened to what I wanted (which was admittedly very vague) and somehow conceptualized exactly who I am and what would look best in a matter of minutes. She is an incredibly talented artist and very insightful when it comes to personalities and how to make a cohesive and beautiful piece while honoring the client's (sometimes misguided or vague) wishes. I get stopped on the street constantly by people admiring my artwork but the thing I love most is when my friends and family members see it for the first time and say, "it's just so you!". I sat with Jenny on Wednesday and she started the outline and shading for a 3/4 sleeve on my left arm and I absolutely love it! I can't stop staring at it! I could go on and on about how much I love and appreciate Jenny Lee and Patrick. I HIGHLY recommend Monarch Studios! read more

Wow. This place is incredible. I started with one tattoo by Jenny Lee 5 years ago and thought that would be the only one I ever got. I enjoyed sitting with her so much and adored the art she placed on my shoulder. I'm here now with SEVERAL tattoos done by her and plan on getting many more! I Recieve endless compliments and am always so impressed when people tell me that the tattoo I got 5 years ago still looks brand new. I refer all of my friends to her and all of them are always impressed. I have followed her to this little shop that her and Patrick now reside and I LOVE IT. It is the only shop that I've ever been to where no one is bickering with other shop employees, no tension in the air and no one is fighting to do some quick scrap work on the next walk in customer. Jenny Lee and Patrick are professional ARTISTS. Their work is one of a kind and beautiful through and through. The shop is quaint, clean and quiet which makes the experience beautiful and satisfying. Thank you Monarch Tattoo studio for by beautiful memories, experiences, and most of all, tattoos! read more

Jenny Lee is not only a technically skilled, experienced, and creative artist, but a great person to work with. We have been working on a half sleeve (almost done!) and she has been accommodating and professional throughout the entire process. From the very beginning she was dedicated to my own vision of what I wanted, while still lending her experienced guidance as the artist. I get so many compliments on the work she has done, and am already planning to have her do my next several tattoos in spite of previously being a steadfast patron of a larger, more "popular" tattoo shop in Denver. Because of the skill and flexibility I've already seen, I know that she could take any concept I throw at her and do a fantastic job. This shop is great, and both Patrick and Jenny are wonderful people on top of being stellar artists. I would recommend Monarch to anyone looking for exceptional tattoo artistry in a more intimate and less corporate setting. They have a lifelong client in me! read more

Jenny has been my artist for the last 6 years. The last piece she did for me was a combination of 2 photos I took in Yellowstone. I emailed them and we discussed what I wanted. I saw the work the morning I arrived and it was exactly what I wanted. She has consistently delivered the best service and top quality work. I've recommended her to numerous friends and family and have done so every time without any hesitation. Her goal is that you are happy with the work and she has great skill to make that a reality. I will go to no one else as long as she is working and available. I told her on my last visit that I'm almost willing to book time, give her the blank canvas and let her do what she wants with it. That takes a ton of trust and I have that in Jenny. I've not had work done by Patrick, but he's always been professional and friendly when I've been in and seems to also do a great job with plenty of very satisfied customers. read more

I started going to Monarch Tattoo when Jenny Lee moved there. She has been doing all my work for the last 6 years. I've not had Patrick do any work for me but he's friendly, professional and seems to have plenty of satisfied customers. Jenny is awesome. She has great talent and I've learned to really trust her judgement. I send her my ideas and after a bit of discussion, she delivers exactly what I was hoping for. I've even tossed around the idea of giving her the blank canvas and letting her do what she wants with it. I have that trust in her as my artist. That's the best recommendation I can give her. Would never have trusted any of the previous artists that have worked on me to do the same. Communicate clearly what you want then let Jenny do what she does best. read more

I've gotten several tattoo's from Jenny Lee and I recommend her work frequently. If you want top notch professional tattoo work, Monarch Tattoo is the place to go. Patrick and Jenny both do amazing work, and they are not limited to certain styles. They can tattoo just about everything! Both are also very accomplished "artists" and create masterful original paintings and drawings. I own a print shop and I'm honored to duplicate their art and make "Fine Art Giclee Prints" for them as well. There's a lot that goes into a good tattoo! And these folks don't miss any of those important steps. Attention to detail is their middle name! They do it right! They do it clean. They are top notch professionals. Thank you Jenny Lee for the awesome tattoos you have given me! read more

Jenny Lee is an amazing artist and she always goes above and beyond what I could have ever imagined with her talent. I can't imagine going to any other tattoo artist and every time I leave Monarch Tattoo I'm thinking of the next piece I could get done. I will be returning for my 3rd large piece this month! From the first consultation to the final sitting, Jenny is always professional and my time in the shop is always filled with great conversation and brilliant artistry. I receive compliments on my tattoos all the time and would recommend Jenny and Patrick to anyone! Jenny's eye for detail and expertise always result in the most amazing tattoos and I'm so glad I have found such an amazing artist to work with. read more

As someone who's very particular, I had a hard time finding a tattoo artist when I moved to Denver six years ago. I found Jenny at Think Tank and she's done brilliant and beautiful artwork. I remember our consultation, she took my idea and made it flesh. Couldn't have been happier with her work. She's so charming and sweet, I feel like tattoo appointments are more like reunions between friends. Patrick is always so much fun and very thoughtful, I love when we can all joke around during an appointment. Jenny has a wide range of styles and can tattoo anything, from the eerily grotesque to the fantastic to the delicately beautiful. I'm sticking with her. read more

Jenny Lee has been granting my tattoo wishes for years. Every time I come to her with an idea, she creates something for me that is more perfect than I could have ever dreamed up on my own. When it comes to the actual tattoo experience, she is so careful to make sure that I am comfortable and that all of her equipment is set up professionally. Every step of the way, she includes me in her process. On top of it all, she's the nicest. She is so chill and easy to talk to. The hours pass so quickly! I have sent my sister and my best friend to Jenny, and they are both clients for life now. When it comes down to it, there's simply no one better! read more

Jenny is absolutely amazing!! She exceeds my expectations every time. People will stop me in public to take a closer look to see all the amazing detail Jenny put into my tattoos. I had her do a portrait of my dog and it was amazing how she captured all of my dogs quirks and personality. Everything was so detailed even down to her tiny crooked teeth! Her work is versatile and she does a wonderful job consulting your individual style. You might have to wait a little for an appointment but you will not be disappointed!! If you're looking for a friendly and professional environment, go to monarch! read more

So far, Sooo Good. Ive been using the same tattoo artist for 3 years who does amazing work but came to Jenny because it was time for a change and had heard nothing but great things about her. She did not disappoint. She has done work on several of my friends and they are equally satisfied. The studio is super clean and has a great energy. What more can I say? - GO GET YOUR INK ON AT MONARCH. Oh and she gives great stock tips :) - Tom Brown read more

Jenny is an excellent artist with unique style and expert talent. The entire experience from art consultation to chatting during tattoo sessions is professional and fun. Jenny has done a complete half sleeve, that merged up perfectly with my existing artwork. Jenny has also done touch up on an older piece and it looks better than ever. I cant wait to get my next inspiration to have some more work done at Monarch. read more

I've been getting work done by Jenny Lee for 5 years now, she's AMAZING! Jenny and Patrick are not only exceptional artists but great people as well! I cherish the art I wear proudly on my skin every day as well as the conversations we have while I'm getting work done. I constantly get asked about my tattoos and always recommend they get on their calendar! You guys rock! - Jonathan Taylor read more

Jenny Lee is so talented and really listens to what you want. She is the most creative artist, and can take your idea and turn it into exactly what you had invisioned. Jenny is the only tattoo artist I have ever seen and will continue to see in the future! My husband has had a huge piece done by Jenny, and it looks amazing. read more
