Rock Star M.

Every experience at this shop has been superior A+! Cleanliness, professionalism, and artistic genius! Considering how many hours I've been here in the past few years (45 hours and counting)....I've earned the opportunity to review and comment with some authority. If you live anywhere in Colorado, its worth the trip....afterall, a tattoo last forever...so quality, care, and experience does matter! A little about me: I'm a late bloomer tattoo recipient. ..Meaning, I got my first at over 40, and I'm a professional female real estate agent. The best part about the experiences I've had (and those whom I've referred) is that the level of professionalism is mind blowing. Plus, the conversations are vastly intelligent, funny, and often I leave with great book titles, documentary and travel recommendations....never a dull moment in the chair here. Fritz really listens at the consult, and if waiting to see the drawing till the appointment concerns you... DON'T WORRY... as shocking as this may sound....Fritz always delivers by bringing concepts to life. It's his gift. All of my tattoos are by Fritz, and I'm loyal, but I've had plenty of interaction with Emily (the piercing queen), and Chad who's also an exceptional artist and all around great guy. Everyone has always made me feel at home. My husband and our adult kids both see Fritz loyally as well. Highly recommended!

Thank you Jesse! \m/

I worked with Jesse for a tattoo. My mind is blown by how cool his design is!! When he said we could combine two elements, a barcode/numeral setup and a logo design, I did not imagine how fabulous it could turn out. He took his time and made the design when I got there for the 1pm appointment. Probably 30 minutes is all it took him to come up with it. Putting the ink took an hour. So this ended up costing less than I was targeting. Tip your artists, people! They deserve it! 5 stars isn't enough.

Day I got my nose pierced :)

Got my nose pierced here and it was my first piercing *not* at Claire's so I was definitely a little scared. However, Emily was so kind and accommodating. She answered all of mine and my mom's questions about the process, everything was sterilized, and the procedure was quick and relatively painless. I wanted something small and minimalist to start out with, and that's exactly the jewelry I got. I LOVE my nose piercing and had no infection and minimal pain/scabbing around the area. I'm very happy with it :)

Memorial to my grandparents and I couldn't have asked for more, Aaron is awesome! Book an appointment with him today!

This place is awesome! Very clean and the artists are great! Aaron Flores is super artistic and very detailed and wants every tattoo to be a masterpiece, big or small. He came up with several ideas for my 1/2 sleeve that I never would have thought of and it made the piece SOO much better. Everytime I was there(almost 45hours total over several sessions) I never saw anything that would warrant a negative review for the tattoo artists, although the piercer seemed to not be there very often, that doesn't take away from the tattoo artists.

I have several tattoos from alternative arts, the majority from Fritz. I will never go anywhere else, he is a true artist.

I had a tattoo done by Josh and I have to say, I love it! He was amazing. I went in knowing what I wanted, but didn't have it drawn out. I told him what I wanted and the color I wanted and he got it perfect. It was like he read my mind when he drew it out. I won't be going to anyone else for a tattoo!

Fritz is amazing. I couldn't be happier with my piece. I know who I'm coming to for future work!

Fritz is amazing. Not only is he a really genuine guy, but his artwork is amazing. I went from a simple heart tattoo on my wrist that took all of 5 minutes to getting a huge side piece that took 4.5 hours. He was patient and extremely professional. He made what could have been a super painful experience and made it as painless as possible. His mandalas and pointillism are amazing and I couldn't be happier with my piece. I know who I'm coming to for all future work! Thanks fritz!!

Had a large tribal tattoo done years ago by someone who didn't know what they were doing. Came to alternative arts tattoo and had consult with artist Chad. Scheduled tattoo for my left side to fix old tattoo and in compass new one as well. He was patient with me as I went through the stencil process changing my mind frequently. I'm so pleased with the out come. His lines were crisp and perfect. He also figured out a way to work with the disaster I had and grow off of it. He changed my tattoo from bad to bad ass. I was stupid to try someone else years ago. Now having one done by a professional changed not only my outlook on my own tattoo but I won't go anywhere else now. I have another session to fill in flowers.

I've been pierced and tattooed at Electric Crayon, and I've never had any problems! In mid-August…read more2023, I got my right and left nostrils pierced along with a helix piercing on my left ear, since there was a 3 piercings for $100 sale. All 3 piercings have healed beautifully! I followed the aftercare instructions to a T. Neither nostril formed an irritation bump, even after I switched the jewelry to hoops. The pain went away after like a week and a half, and after having them for a month I couldn't even feel them anymore. Changing them now is easy. I've accidentally brushed my face a few times, which caused the stud to fall out, but I've always just quickly disinfected the jewelry and wiped the piercing with saline before putting it back in. I don't remember the name of my piercer, but he was very nice and made the entire experience easy. This was not recommended by my piercer, but I've found it super helpful when it comes to healing piercings. On amazon, they have saline solution aftercare swabs (I have the Dr Piercing Aftercare brand ones). I carried those around with me for the entire time my piercings were healing and they made my life SO MUCH EASIER. Anyway. On February 10th, 2024, I came to this studio for their Valentine's Day flash tattoo sale. I got there around 1pm, and they let me know that it'd be a 3-4 hour wait. The girls at the front were so sweet and they had me write my name and phone number on a list so that I wouldn't have to wait at the shop the entire time. I got a call right at 5pm, drove over, did the paperwork and got the tattoos I wanted within the hour! Hailee Roach was my artist. She was awesome. She made the experience super relaxing, and answered all of my questions patiently. She mentioned that she does free touch ups, which is super considerate and I plan on going to her for the tattoos I plan on getting in the future! When I was getting tattooed, I could tell that the people working there genuinely enjoyed each other's company. The artists were talking and laughing together. The vibe is a little intimidating (at least for me) when you first walk in, but the staff is so friendly and I couldn't recommend this place more!

I was referred to the electric crayon by a associate. They have great customer service and support…read more They have flexible scheduling. The artist are attentive to detail and they work to deliver masterpieces. The environment is clean and orderly and the artist are professional.

I've had this wacky idea in the back of my head for years. I wanted to combine realistic landscape…read moreart with colored pixel art. When I decided it was time to just do it, I felt like finding the right artist who could take this idea on was going to be difficult. I mass emailed a ton of tattoo parlors with my idea and only got one artist who was excited to take on the idea: Trina. She not only wanted to do it, but was legitimately excited to. What resulted was an amazing work and something I'm so genuinely in love with. As we went along, I kept wanting to add, add, and add! The final result is incredible. I'm so happy. Definitely will be getting another one from Trina as soon as the right idea pops in my head again.

For me life is never a straight line...it is complicated, messy, convoluted, and never as planned…read more Such is the case with getting my half sleeve at Ikonik. I used Instagram to find the artist who I found to match my taste and quality. Went in met with him paid the upfront fee and set a date...Welp a few days before my artwork I get a DM saying he doesn't want to do the work...I was sort of devastated to say the least ( If you are reading this it is all good and I have nothing but love and respect for you and I understand). I reached out to Maira and she was amazing...gave me options to pick another artist. I chose Dany and was really impressed by how talented and dedicated he is to his art. Arrived at 11:30 am and left at 10:30 pm... Dany worked his butt off and he put his heart and soul into my piece. It came out AMAZINGLY. I cannot thank and recommend enough Ikonik Tattoo for their love and patience. All of the people that work there are phenomenally talented artists. Don't let their tough exterior fool you once you get to know them they are great people.

I had the BEST experience with Nina today!!…read more I went in without much of a plan on what kind of earring jewelry I really wanted. Nina not only walked me through all of the options with a pricing sheet in front of me, she helped me measure what size hoop would fit my conch best (an issue I've had for YEARS and never had solved which resulted in me never having jewelry in that piercing) and talked me through why certain jewelry wouldn't work well with my anatomy! She gave me time to look through all of the options and helped whenever I needed. I explained some issues I've had with buying crappy jewelry in the past and she didn't shame me about it, but instead offered advice on how to keep my piercings healthy while not using the greatest quality jewelry until i'm able to upgrade it to better stuff in the future. While the jewelry is expensive, the quality is amazing and the pieces are beautiful. If you're going to buy real gold pieces that are going to last, you'll have to know it's going to be a bit more pricey. Regardless of this, Nina never made me feel pressured to buy anything and made me feel so comfortable the entire process. She's extremely personable and kind, and I had a great time chatting with her throughout the process. I would recommend this place to ANYONE looking for good, quality jewelry from an extremely kind person!!! I genuinely cannot wait to go back and continue adding jewelry to my earring stack.
