Inspo

I came to certified tattoo looking for a small fine line tattoo. I sent picture and was told that this artist could do it. Well, the first session was okay(ish). She printed out a stencil to trace over but even still she went a little rogue with her letters. Not so cool when it's a tattoo of a persons signature. Her hand was shaky, etc. However it wasn't too bad and I could live with it but I knew it would need a touch up. The touch up was WORSE. I asked her if she needed to see the name again or the stencil because parts of the letters hadn't taken deep enough into the skin. She assured me she didn't. SHE NEEDED IT. The D was not correct, the e wasn't correct, uneven lines, shaky hands, didn't trace exactly like she should've and once again certain parts of the tattoo didn't take because she don't apply the even pressure needed.So unhappy with something that was suppose to be a very intimate gesture for my 20 year anniversary.

They wanted to charge $300 for this tattoo about a quarter size behind the ear! Absolutely outrageous! I have thousands of dollars worth of work on my body, so I know tattoo pricing and how it works! This place is a ripoff! Receptionist was very snobby and rude! There was not a single person in the tattoo shop and now I know why.

...Unless we sell the company ...  and then you are out of luck.  Too bad.

LOVED Pens and Needles have gotten several tattoos (family members too - at my recommendation). New ownership is not honoring last year's Black Friday Sale deals which is hugely disappointing. The artists there may still be good - but I'll never know, because I won't be going there. Any other CO Springs shops interested in making good on their $400 in gift certificates?

Shame on me for not posting sooner. Not that they need my help. I got a tattoo from Jay. I was a referral. My hairdresser has a bad ass sleeve and chest piece and other stuff from him. He had a really great deal going on at the time, so I got the "tools of my trade" done for half off (can't beat that). I'm a writer. So, I got an ink pot with quill and a rose. And his design knocked it out of the park. He's a total professional that is really detailed and is a perfectionist about his trade. So appreciated. He also has a book and talked to me about the history about his style. The whole shop just reeks of antiseptic. Such a great sign. They're stringent on their cleanliness standards. He was also really quick and painless. Well, as painless as the process can be. People at the front desk are always awesome, too.

Pineapple!

My Wife and I recently got tattoo's here with Jenny as our artist. She was great, made more than a few changes to my pineapple drawing and never gave me grief about it! She was friendly and did a great job. Pens and Needles is a VERY CLEAN and Professional place. This is my first tattoo but my wife's fifth? We were both really impressed by the place. They came highly recommended and I can understand why. And FYI, they offer Military discount and dependent discounts.

Got a beautiful tattoo done by Mike! We provided him with some pieces we liked and he used them to create an entirely original design! This was my first tattoo and not only was both he and the front desk very personable but they also did wonderfully at putting me at ease throughout the entire process. Very professional business and I can't wait to go back!

Comfortable seating, many flat screens in the waiting area.

I lived in COS for 3 years and had four tattoos done right here at Heebee Jeebee's…read more The shop is clean and cared for. Chris is my favorite artist. I sat with him three separate times for my detailed, gorgeous thigh piece. He did a phenomenal job. On top of being ridiculously good, he's also super chill to sit with for hours at a time. I sat three times on my thigh (2hrs each time) and also had him do a rib tattoo for me. Every time he was professional, cool, and easy going. He's great at his job and incorporated everything I wanted into my thigh tattoo. Pro tip: they offer numbing cream. You can buy it by the tube or (if you're super cool) they will just apply some to your body before the tattoo for free. Cream has to go on and sit for about half an hour before the tattoo gets started so let them know ahead of time that you want it and you're going to show up early for it. After you get done getting poked, head to the joint right down the street and grab a super delicious taco! (Nom!) There are some things I wish they'd change. I loved that they had such an open space in their studio; fluid space, no big walls for the most part. I love the feeling of community, however, it also leaves you pretty exposed to anyone who walks past their large sun drenched windows and anyone who happens to walk in the front door. If you're in the middle of getting inked and your shorts are pulled really high or your shirt is pulled up, everyone will see it. Not so fun. Either way, they get a raving five stars from me. Thanks for all the fabulous tattoos, Heebee Jeebee's. Always a fan.

Rick worked some kind of magic on my floral piece and I left with something way cooler than I…read moreimagined. He turned a pretty standard flower request into something so cool and beautiful, I want to stare at it forever. My daughter also got her first tattoo (shoutout to Rachel!), so naturally, she was nervous and bracing for pain. But the whole team was so sweet and chill, they hyped her up like the rockstar she is and made her feel so comfortable. Seriously, the vibes were immaculate (her words). TLDR: If you're thinking about getting inked and want great artists and good energy, Heebee Jeebees is the place.

Artist made a remark that she wouldn't repeat to me. However her coworker relayed the message that…read moreshe didn't do what I was requesting. Though I felt that she had made a comment that was isolating or bias. That was the feeling that I felt so I left after that. Felt like a klan gathering I just left.

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!!!
