I cannot say enough good things about this place. Nick did my tattoo and made the process so easy and memorable. I really feel like he actually cared about it and didn't see it as just another tattoo on another person. He took his time helping me design my vision and gave great advice and suggestions when I asked. I never felt he rushed any of it. It turned out even better than I could've imagined. This tattoo is in honor of my grandmother that unexpectedly passed, so it was going to be the most important tattoo I'd ever get. If you want a person that is going to listen to you and also genuinely care about you and the work they do, Nick is the guy! He's fabulous with colors. The shop itself is also clean and the owner is very friendly. I can't see myself ever going to anyone else in the future. read more

Engel gave me a wonderful dinosaur tattoo on my forearm. Clean shop. I went through 3 sessions with him: initial black outline, color and touch-up. Throughout the process he was very communicative on email and during the actual process. Light touch. It did not hurt that much for me. I love the whimsical style and color choices for my dinosaur. So cute! I have received a few compliments even from strangers. I would definitely recommend Engel for color tattoos with a fun twist. read more

My daughters and I popped in to this wonderful establishment on a Tuesday afternoon while on vacation. We were ever-so-lucky to have Kevin there to work on us as walk-ins. I was very impressed with the store, and I even met the owner who seemed super chill. I greatly appreciated Kevin's close attention to every detail. He explained everything from beginning to end very clearly. We all 3 felt very comfortable and were quite impressed with his artistry and clean lines. I would highly recommend making an appointment with Kevin!!!! I had wanted this fun, bruise type, tattoo for a while and I think he nailed it!! read more

One of my best tattoo experiences. The shop was clean and the people were really nice and helpful. Nick was an amazing artist. He was really intentional during the design session and created this incredible work of art in just 4 hours. Really personable and detailed with his work. Would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone looking to get a tattoo! read more

I came in for a walk-in tattoo on Sunday and had a great experience working with and getting tattooed by Cres. One thing I look for in tattoo shops/tattooers is positive energy and comfortability as well as good vibes in general and Cres was very positive and personable and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I feel like it's really important to get tattooed by someone who you feel positive energy from due to it's permanence. Cres also did an amazing job on the tattoo and ensuring the tattoo was the right kind of size and font to last well which I always appreciate that perspective. I got a couple of words tattooed behind my ear/onto my neck and Cres helped to ensure that it was the right tattoo for the placement when maybe some people may not put that consideration in. I would definitely recommend Urban Element and Cres for anyone looking for some new ink. read more

My husband and I both got tattoos. The experience was done with excellence. Savanna and Kevin were great artists to have. I did fine line and delicate and my husband had some graphic done for his. The place was clean and welcoming. Thank you for making this an enjoyable experience for the both of us. read more

Rocky did a tattoo for me and my best friend. I have to admit at first I was extremely nervous. I sent him a picture I had saved on Pinterest and was worried it was going to be a Pinterest fail, but it wasn't. He did a perfect job!! it's been a few months now, and my tattoo still looks amazing. I am beyond in love with it. If I am ever in Colorado again I will definitely call them. Rocky was awesome and the owner was friendly as well. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Got a great tattoo from Demian. He met with me during a walk in consultation on a Thursday and was able to book me for the coming Saturday so I was very happy with how soon the piece was able to be finished. When I came in he told me I was the only one booked for the day because he wanted to take his time with the piece I had requested and give me his full attention which I really appreciated. Demian was very helpful with making sure I was comfortable and able to sit well throughout the tattoo. If you are looking for a great shop definitely come check this place out! read more

Tattoo from PJ was great. Got me in for a custom on short notice and the place was very clean.

I do a random last minute tattoo every time I travel somewhere new. Today, I walked in to urban elemeand luckily got to have Coochie do my lion tattoo! He truly was the kindest man that has ever tattooed me. His line work is super clean and he was really fast as well. Thank you again so much Coochie!!! read more

They were amazing! My friend and I were both walk ins and were on vacation. Amanda did both of our tattoos and they came out amazing!

Couldn't say better things about this shop! Recently got tattooed by Elaine, and not only did she capture the design I wanted perfectly, she was extremely organized and quick with follow up. (She uses a system that sends you text reminders about your appointment.) She is also thorough with aftercare instructions. Seriously...check her out on IG @electricelaine. My fiancé got tattooed by Rowell not too long ago and he gets SO many compliments on his tattoo. I would highly recommend Urban Element! read more

I hate the fact I'm not a Denver native because I found the perfect shop/artist. Engel was AMAZING. Yes that is my knee but he was so gentle. It was a 6/10 pain wise and being a tattoo veteran, some of the pain is caused by the artist. It could have been so much worse but it wasn't. This is my new favorite. I love everything about it and it was soooo affordable. I wish I could give more stars. I'm so happy I was able to get tattooed by such a talented professional and I will be hitting him up whenever I go back to Denver. Engel is THE BEST. read more

Rowell and his crew are simply the best in the biz. I've been traveling from Southern California to Colorado for 10 years just for his expertise! The shop is spotless and their equipment always looks brand new. I've been in healthcare for over 20 years and their shop is hospital grade clean. I am and will always be a loyal customer. Keep up the great work Urban Element! read more

Kyle and Chase at Urban Element Tattoo are fantastic. My friends and I were calling around tattoo shops and Kyle immediately differentiated himself by texting us after the call and getting more details about what work we wanted. He was thorough, detailed, and understanding when we had to cancel our first appointment due to a scheduling issue. Kyle drew out my friends tattoo flawlessly and redrew it a few times to fit what she wanted. This was by far the best tattoo experience any of us have ever had (total of 6 experiences). Thank you Kyle and Chase for your time and the best tattoos!!!!! read more

Rowell is an AMAZING artist and human being. He was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. He already had the drawing done when I got there and it was exactly what I wanted. His shop is awesome and I couldn't recommend it more. I am so happy that I even made an appointment for another tattoo with him. He's terrific. read more

Tattoo was well done but my artist Cres was pushy and made me feel uncomfortable about paying. Ink was spilled on me and not cleaned, a little disappointed. My friend was given second-skin, but I was given a cotton pad and tape. read more

I was in Colorado for a couple days and reached out to Rowell to schedule a quick appointment. He responded very quickly and set me up with Demian the same day. I sent them my design and they had it all sketched out by the time I got there. Demian was so great and my tattoo came out perfectly! He also answered all my questions. The shop is super cool and everyone is really nice. I totally recommend! read more

This business likes to delete reviews they don't agree with. That's fine, I have time. Kate Walker is an extremely unprofessional tattoo artist. She had the audacity to blacklist a client from her books because Kate couldn't be bothered to refund a deposit for 3 MONTHS for an appointment Kate herself cancelled. If you say anything about Kate they will leave a snarky reply and delete your comment. They clearly support unprofessionalism and hoarding clients' money. Be better. read more

Let's face it getting a tattoo is a huge deal. It's personal and on your person. I have a general vibe and aesthetic going on and I wanted to make sure that my tattoos reflect me. Something that looked less like a tattoo and more like a sketch. I found Katie's work on instagram @katieinkorporated and was OBSESSED. Some tattoo artists just show their huge pieces but no examples of their more subtle work (the kind of tattoos I wanted). I scheduled an app with her, we worked through my idea. I loved how she thought it through! She elevated it so much! I love it so much more than what I originally came up with. The final product is amazingggggggggg, I get complimented on it literally every time someone sees it in public. Hands down, she's my go to rec for tats. I can't say enough good things about her. She's truly an artist and has the steadiest hands (and also hilarious? not a requirement but a fun perk lol) read more

My husband and I were in Colorado for about a week and wanted to get tattoos commemorating our wedding a couple years ago, which was also in CO. We reached out the UE online and got a response very quickly. We worked with Kyle! He did a fantastic job. Drew up or design idea until we had it perfect, even adding in things we didn't think of and we loved! Kyle was very personable and offered a clean, comfortable environment! The tattoo itself was virtually painless. Healing in record time, too! Excellent COVID protocols in place. Thanks for taking the risk on letting a couple of out-of-towners in! Next time we're in CO we will definitely come back! read more

Ahhh where do I even begin... Jordan is amazing! She's done about 12 of my tattoos & being a collector, it was nerve-wracking finding a new artist when I moved here. So glad I found Jordan! The shop is amazing, very clean, and the owner, Ro, truly cares about his staff & the shop itself. If you're looking for a black & grey artist, look no further than Jordan Rose! read more

I 100% recommend getting your next tattoo here! The staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The shop was clean and had a nice overall vibe. Rowell had great communication and did an amazing beautiful job and I will definitely be coming back next time I visit Denver! read more

Urban Element tattoo is the least professional organization in Denver, with regards to tattoo and body art. They are rude, and condescending, and my art is terrible. I would never in a million years recommend this studio to anyone; there is a plethora of other places in the Greater Denver Area that conduct themselves in a professional manner, as well as offering great customer experience. 0/10 - would never recommend. read more

Stephanie M. made an incredible piece of art for me to enjoy forever. Her artistic talent is incredible. I asked her to do a moose head and antlers looking straight on. She created the design by looking at photos of moose. She accommodated all my little tweaks to the antler shape, eye position, etc. She was professional and the whole process was comfortable. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

My review is for Jacob. He's a super nice lovable person, however, his professionalism is highly lacking and my time was thoroughly wasted. I messaged Jacob via email and instagram (since i wasn't sure of preferred method of communication) March 20th. We set up a consultation for the next day, March 21st, however that didn't happen due to me oversleeping. I called immediately, same day, to apologize and we then decided that i can text over my ideas. I do this and i don't hear back from him until March 29th. We talk back and forth for a few minutes on the 29th, then he asks when I'm looking to start the design. I told him in May and then he's a ghost. I was hoping between then we could discuss more of the design, but he had different ideas and I don't hear back from him until May 11th! I was then offered an opportunity to come in May 31st. Fine, okay, I'll wait. May 31st comes around, and I'm not in love with the design he had created. (Yea obviously, we never really discussed it.) I let him free-hand on my arm for a little and nothing comes of it. Jacob just spewed out more ideas of what could go on my arm. This appointment turns into a consultation. He told him to give him until June 5th, and i agree. After the consultation I send over a bunch of imagery that could help with his design and mine, so they can come together. I hear nothing back from him. Today, June 3rd, Jacob has decided he is not the artist for this project..... This must be some kind of sick joke. Thank you for the $15 sushi, but that does not come close to the two months I could've spent looking for a more dedicated artist. I DO NOT recommend Jacob as an artist. read more

I have gotten 2 tattoos from Katie at this shop and I have unfortunately moved away from denver since then but if I hadn't I would still be going to her! She is professional, clean, and a true artist! Her script tattoos are phenomenal, expertly done! She is careful, detail oriented and concise. Her artwork and style is unmatched. She makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable in the shop. Can't say enough good things about her! read more

Katie is absolutely amazing. She accomplished exactly what I wanted. My friend and I got matching tattoos and she helped up with placement and matching the spots perfectly. Will be back for more ink!! read more

Johnny hooked me up with exactly what I was looking for while here on a work trip to Denver. Comfortable atmosphere, GREAT music playing. The staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable. The neighborhood the shop is located in is super funky with unique shops, studios and architecture. Parking may be hard to come by, check side roads and definitely arrive early and plan on walking a block or 3. Overall awesome experience and super happy with my tattoo!!! read more

I researched around Denver looking for a good cover up tattoo artist. After looking at Rowell's portfolio, I was hooked! I have a few words on my back that I needed covered up and explained my idea to him. First of all, book in advance because I had to wait almost 4 months for an appointment, he's a busy guy! Secondly, I put a lot of trust into his abilities to give me what I was looking for and it turned out amazing! Not the best at answering emails and I got a preview of my tattoo the night before my appointment. Just a few tiny touch ups though and it was ready to go! It took about 2.5 hours and although it's my third tattoo, it was much longer than my previous 2. He was great while the tattoo was getting down and I was ecstatic when it was over! I definitely recommended Rowell, go check out Rino and stop by the shop! read more
