If you're looking for a classic tattoo shop with talented artists, this is the place. Great conversation, great music, and great vibes. Phil knocks out work quickly without sacrificing quality, and the tattoos heal well and hold up over time. Definitely the spot in Boulder to go for traditional style tattoos, flash and custom work. Fair pricing, solid designs, and artists that know what makes a good tattoo. I'll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend

We called and he answered all of our questions quickly and it was evident he had a friendly demeanor. The shop is clean and gives off a classic tattoo parlor vibe.

We had a rough idea of what we wanted and Frank quickly put together an amazing design and was realistic with what would and would not look good. He was able to get both of us done quickly and the tattoos look phenomenal. His pricing was also very reasonable. Will definitely be back.

There was a tattoo I'd wanted that my friend wanted to match and we decided on the spot to see if we could get a couple of walk-in spots, and gave the shop a call. Long story short, we were able to snag a time with an artist named Tayler late in the afternoon, and she was such a joy to work with. The tattoos we got were fairly small (black and grey katanas about 3 and 4 inches between the two of us) and we were quoted 150 and 175, respectively, based on a size difference between the two. My friend also added on a small finger tattoo and had an old stick and poke refreshed for an extra $50. Tayler worked so quickly and her line work was excellent; I think she finished working with the both of us in a little under 1.5 hours. The shop's vibe is so welcoming and laid back, and the business itself, I learned, is women owned and operated, which I thought was super friggin cool! We felt unbelievably comfortable the whole time and will definitely keep them in mind for the next piece!! Thank you again, Tayler!!!
