I had a great experience with Danny Sanchez at Certified Tattoo. He did matching seagull tattoos…read morefor me and my friends, and his talent and knowledge truly show in his work. Initially, I was concerned that my tattoo didn't look exactly like my friends', and I asked Danny if he could take a look and possibly touch it up. Once the aftercare tape was removed, I could clearly see how great it actually looked. Danny took the time to walk me through everything, explained that he could slightly thicken the wing if I wanted, but was honest about his hesitation--he didn't want to risk affecting the healing or compromising the quality of the tattoo. He even consulted another tattoo artist, who agreed the tattoo was flawless. I truly appreciated Danny's honesty, professionalism, and willingness to put quality over simply making a change because it was requested. Although he was open to doing what I asked, I valued his expert opinion and trusted his judgment, especially since the tattoo was still so new. Danny does exceptional work and is incredibly skilled in fine-line tattooing. I'm very grateful for the time he took with me and for his integrity as an artist. If you're considering a tattoo, I highly recommend seeing Danny at Certified Tattoo on Colfax Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado. You won't be disappointed.

I decided to get one with her and the experience could not have been better. Jolene at the front desk was so kind. She paired us with Damian who could not have been sweeter but his line work was spot on. We are both so happy with our tattoos! And even happier that they made it such a beautiful and memorable experience. Thank you !

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.

Fun! Despite my best efforts to drive her insane, she was the picture of professionalism throughout our session. She worked with me to ensure I was happy with the piece and it's placement, and answered all of my questions (including the half-dozen times I asked if I was moving too much). After going back to the drawing board twice to make adjustments to the design, Amanda did a beautiful job on my White Rabbit tattoo. Her line work is STUNNING! I will also say that she had a very light touch, and the experience was about as painless as it could be for an hour of needles being jabbed into my skin. Pricing was fair, and the booking process was easy. The shop was clean, and had a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. I'd come back for more work in the future, and would recommend Dead Drift to anyone who asks.

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.

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 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.
