Well. I got this tattoo on vacation. Once I pulled off the second skin at home, it was apparent my…read moreline tattoo wasn't symmetrical. Very apparent. If I hadn't been on vacation and noticed it then, I would have gone back to have it fixed. Not sure what they could have done with it, but I would have requested a refund. Now I have a poorly drawn tattoo on my arm. He seemed way more interested in another customer and stopped to take pictures of the other guy. But my tattoo was so simple, it didn't bother me. It should have. I won't be returning and everyone I was visiting is aware of the mistake and won't go here for future work. Don't go here.

Every artist here is as the brand suggests SELF MADE and they all specialize in something specific!…read moreI had an appointment with Tye Youmans and I chose him because of his ability to provide realism with abstract and vibrant color!!! Not only did Tye execute my vision beyond my imagination, it was a COVER UP! A lot of artists refuse to touch or cover someone else's work, but when I reached out to Tye about a different tattoo during the consultation we both agreed that his work next to my current tattoo would make it look even more ugly than it already was. I wasn't for what I found, but I'm so glad I started following Self Made Tattoo Colorado two years ago and Tye moved back 6 months ago. I'm glad I was finally able to sit in sit in his chair. I also was able to get squeezed in by the life of the party piercer Mike! I got the 3rd piercing to complete a triple lobe and an orbitalin my left ear. Mike was able to get me in and out within 7 minutes! I'm so glad I found a tattoo artist who not only delivered beyond expectations, but was extremely transparent and wanted the art to speak for itself. I'm honored to have been pierced and tattooed in this dynamic environment. Definitely looking forward to more artwork to come!!!

We got 3 matching tattoos from Marcel today commemorating our trip back home to Colorado…read more Marcel is an absolutely incredible tattoo artist. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel comfortable and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. His attention to detail and precision are truly unmatched. The entire experience was professional, relaxed, and enjoyable. Marcel's line work is flawless, and the final result exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a talented, friendly artist who genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in his work, I cannot recommend Marcel highly enough. I am beyond happy with my tattoo!!

Inside this large shop it really looks like LA Ink with the decor and vibe. Staff was really friendly, you can tell they all are great friends, a tight crew. I believe tattoo artists should be given as much free reign so as to not stifle their artistic mojo. I told Makai I wanted to cover my chemo port scar with a peony and movement bands in the asian theme. He did a great job and was a pleasure to work with.

His work was so nice, my mom and dad both went back for another tattoo. Amazing shop, and we will definitely be coming back next visit.
