Update: we liked the service so much that we came back to get the girls cartilage done too. However…read morethe tipping option is very misleading. It says "18%, 20%..." etc as options but they are calculating based on the ENTIRE price which includes jewelry, saline, etc...and that shouldn't be how they do that. It should be a certain percentage of the service, not products. The piercing was 45 and I ended up tipping 37 dollars. That is excessive and they need to make that more clear. John is great at his job and I still recommend him, but I think a nearly 100% tip is over the top. Be aware when you're looking at the final cost. They do not itemize. That is partially on me for not asking. Buyer beware!

I told him when I'm ready I'll let him know as I'm not good with pain. Fast forward I notified him that I was ready. He said he'd create something. Admittedly I was nervous especially around the face. As we discussed the face makes it. To my wonderment I was pleasantly surprised. Being that I'm more of the expert on Blade we made minor adjustments and it came out beautifully. We changed some nuances so my art ink was run of the mill Blade. The shop was very clean and decorated like a total tattoo shop. James vibe was there from the beginning when my niece and I went to him the first time.

The ladies at the front is a different story, especially the one dressed in mostly black. The attitude is atrocious. And there were a few times where I came as a walk in and they let a walk in who came in later on before me even when I had an appointment and then they lied to my face about it. So maybe they could learn to be fair and honest about that. Also didn't care to hear and was grossed out hearing them discussing their genital piercings. Otherwise Patrick is great.

I always feel like I have my own personal stylist/jeweler with me when I go here. I came in for a real gold nose hoop, and left with 3 new piercings and 11 new pieces of "Forever" jewelry. The "flat" chain piece in the ear cartilage & the green/gold earlobe pieces were pierced at Sage and the jewelry you see is what went in with the piercings same day. No messing with any piercing posts or changing it out after healing, it's beautiful real gold "Forever" jewelry that can go in Day 1 and stay in. Amazing customer service, super clean shop, beautiful selection, and great vibes in a cute historic downtown area. Been looking for a place like this for a decade!

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.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Nick did my tattoo and made the process so easy…read moreand 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.

Back when the owner of Ikonik worked for another shop, I followed his work for quite some time…read more When he announced, he opened his own shop. I was excited to see what kind of artists would become a part of the team. My daughter wanted a nose piercing when she was 15, and I took her to Ikonik. We were so pleased with how quickly they got us in and the level of professionalism and quality of the piercing. By the next year, she wanted to go back to get the other side of her nose pierced, followed by a couple of more ear piercings. Of course we went to Ikonik. Fast-forward another year, my daughter decided she wanted her first tattoo. We came back and visited Diego, who took his time and had lots of patience for the changes she was looking for in design. Her tattoo healed beautifully and she was on the next one the next year. This time the shop ran a Valentine's Day special. During their specials, the shop typically has select designs you can choose from in order to be charged the special rate. My daughter, once again, wanted a slight change to the design and was met with professionalism and ease. Salvador completed this tattoo and it still looks amazing and he healed well. I have nothing but great things to say about this shop and those who run it and work there. I have yet to have a negative experience and will keep going back and recommending Ikonik to friends and family.

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.

After a few weeks of healing, I'm writing this review of Rowan's ear piercing service. We took our…read moresix-month-old daughter there in late January for her first ear piercing. The staff was incredibly accommodating and patient, which made the experience much smoother than we had anticipated. The location is conveniently situated in Cherry Creek North, but be prepared for potential parking issues. However, our overall experience was fantastic from the moment we walked in. They have a nice selection of earrings for the piercing devices, and they don't recommend or perform needle piercings for babies. The pricing was competitive, and the staff, including the nurse, was very patient and kind. The aftercare instructions were easy to follow, and we're keeping our daughter's ears clean, and they're healing wonderfully. One thing to note for parents considering getting their baby's ears pierced is that there's some aftercare involved to ensure proper healing. Overall, I found their prices to be quite competitive with the pediatrician's office for piercing, and their hours are great for working parents.

I got a two word phrase, "Let God" the process of choosing where I want it and how went perfectly, but once he was done and I looked in the mirror the letters were a bit wonky and uneven. This was my first tattoo experience so I was a bit nervous to speak up about my doubts, but I asked another artist if he noticed what I did. He agreed with me and said he'll tell the artist to fix it for me. My artist, Matt, came over and proceeded to fix it as best he could. He was a bit sassy with me... I asked if he noticed the L in "Let" he said "what about it". I then told him i think making the bottom of the "L" line a bit thicker would maybe fix it. I asked him if he thinks so and he replied with "I don't know, we'll see". His attitude and demeanor towards me after I spoke up about my tattoo just wasn't great. Overall, I am glad I got my tattoo, I do like it, but the experience and outcome of it could have been much better.

I only have a few tattoos, and usually the ones I have some type of significance. When my grandpa passed a few years ago, I knew I wanted to get something to honor him. He taught me how to drive, owned over 100 cars, and loved driving more than anything, so I figured a car would be a great way to memorialize him. Matty was the artist to bring my idea to life. He designed a mid to late 60's mustang with florals and a silhouette of my grandpa in the driver's seat. I was in love with the design as soon as he unveiled it. Based on the placement I wanted the piece on my arm I had to lay down in an awkward position, but Matty worked quickly and tattooed delicately. I couldn't be any happier with the finished product! As far as the shop is concerned, everyone was super polite. It can be intimidating walking into a tattoo shop, and you can tell they cultivated an environment for all here. I would get tattooed by Matty any day and will recommend Dedication to anyone I know looking for some new ink!

Friendly, helpful and willing to answer any questions you might have. As you can tell I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Modified Madness.
