Ty has been doing my tattoos and he recently worked on this piece, did a great job and can't wait to finish it. everyone there is very friendly and welcoming

Septum piercing

My daughter recently went there to get her septum pierced and it was botched horribly. It was crooked and the jewelry was destroyed. They told my daughter they were trying a new technique and that it was crooked because her septum was deviated( it's not). We immediately went to a new piercer that same day and they said they pierced her cartilage not her "sweet spot" and that they literally could have deviated her septum they way they did it. They removed it and told her to come back in a few weeks to do it the right way and told her she's lucky she came when she did because the risk of infection was insanely high due to the poor job that was done

Tattoo of a love note

Kenny at tribal rites did a wonderful job on my first tattoo at the age of 68. He calm my nerves and made the whole experience enjoyable. Thank you Kenny.

I'm giving them 5 stars because of the artist I had. His name was Kenny and he did an absolutely wonderful job on my tattoo. He took his time to make sure it was what I wanted, placed where I wanted, and he even told me that if it didn't heal how I liked, I could come back and he would fix it as best as he could (for free). He was also very light handed, making the tattoo process so much more comfortable. Especially for the placement of the tattoo. The overall vibe of the shop was great, I was there late so it wasn't busy at all. It was just my artist, one of their body piercers, and the desk attendant. All of which were very welcoming and great to talk to! Definitely will be seeing Kenny again for another tattoo!

Is 7 stars possible?! If so, Mo and Tribal Rites deserves 7+ stars. I booked a last minute basic b*tch appointment and got my earlobes pierced with a second piercing. I walked into Tribal Rites and was honestly a little nervous. No idea sunk was nervous but I was. The three women that greeted me at the door when I walked in were honestly a little intimidating because they're so confident in themselves and owning their shit and I was like oh my God I've made a horrible mistake I am an imposter what am I doing here. But the second they actually spoke to me they were so welcoming and helpful and I didn't feel out of place. The appointment booking system was super easy and convenient. They were even helpful when I called the day before and asked a bunch of questions. And when I got there and MØ took me into the room she explained everything very quickly I might add I think she just speaks very fast but because I was nervous and I asked her to repeat things a couple times and she did very kindly. If I were to ever get another piercing I would wholeheartedly go back hands-down.

Eyebrow piercing

got my eyebrow pierced 2 weeks ago, and Avery was so lovely! she took her time and made sure i loved the placement while checking my anatomy. price was great, $40 TOTAL including jewelry (without tip). can't wait to go back in a couple months to get it downsized!

I got my first tattoo done back in april with dave! He did an amazing job and made me feel super comfortable for my first tattoo definitely recommend 100%!! Healed very good too!!

This is the morning after my 5 month old got her ears pierced. No swelling or redness. Liz was awesome!

Liz is the baby piercing expert/guru! I highly recommend her for babies and young kids. We got our 5 month old daughters ears pierced and Liz was so gentle, sweet, knowledgeable and comforting! The location is clean and the rest of the staff were very nice as well. I appreciated that both staff and clients wore face masks. So happy with our experience and it feels good supporting a local business!

Came in today to get a new ring for my septum, was getting tired of the horseshoe and just wanted one continuous ring. Girl behind the counter was super helpful and friendly (loved her Resident Evil shirt!). She pulled out two trays of different sized/gauged rings. I told her I didn't want a captive bead, and I'm super glad she didn't try to sell me on one! She held up one of the rings and offered it to me for me to look at, I double checked with her about holding it considering they have a sign right on the counter that says for your safety do not touch piercings or jewelry. I was given the okay so I picked it up and decided it was happy with that kind. My husband had gotten his brow done at the same time I'd done my septum (10-10-18), and he was getting infected. The girl behind the counter told us we could take a seat and the piercer would be right with us to swap out my ring and check out my husbands eyebrow. Lucky for us, it was Jake who was working this afternoon (same guy who pierced us in October 2018, was also super shocked he recognized us!) He was able to swap my rings out no problem- he is literally the only piercer I've ever interacted with at Tribal Rites that has swapped jewelry out for me the same day I purchase the jewelry. Every other time, i come in to buy jewelry, and then I'm told "have a nice day" and that's that. Jake advised my husband to remove his piercing because it looked like the beginning of a rejection and he could either pierce the other side whenever he wanted or he could wait a month or two and come back to have the same side re-pierced. Years ago, I would have told anyone and everyone to steer clear of Tribal Rites for piercings, but over the last year, I've been pleasantly surprised by the improvements they've made. Having Jake Collins work 5 days a week at the Westminster location is a great bonus for us, at least we always know we'll have an awesome, experienced and professional piercer to consult with and come to in the future! Seriously y'all, if you're looking to get a piercing (any kind), Jake is the guy to see! He knows what he's doing, what he's talking about, been there done that probably has the t-shirt. Super nice and friendly, and easy to talk to!

How much would a daith piercing cost including a nicer piece of jewelry? I don't plan on changing mine once I get it done so I'd like a nicer earring but I'm also a broke college student.

The basic piercing is $40 + jewelry. You can spend anywhere from $25 for something a little nicer - $150 or so for gold jewelry. If you are looking for a better deal my suggestion is to get a titanium ring and have it anodized to a nice color you… 

Do you have a "Single Eye "tat (small ") to go on forehead?

We can have an artist draw up anything you desire. I would bring in some reference or links to reference so an artist has an idea of what you want.…

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.

We walked into Big Easy Tattoo in Broomfield looking for a cover-up. We talked with Greg (the…read moretattoo artist) and Isaac (the owner and piercer), and both of them were incredibly easy to talk to. No ego, no pressure, just real conversation and genuine interest in getting the design right. They listened carefully, asked the right questions, and fully understood the look we were going for. Greg absolutely delivered. The level of detail in the work is what really stood out, it wasn't just "good," it was precise. Every line, every shade, every element matched the original design exactly the way it was supposed to look. And somehow, he made it stand out even more on skin than it did in the reference. You would never know it was a cover-up. That alone says everything. On top of that, the pricing was very competitive for the level of talent and detail you're getting. This isn't rushed or average work, this is skilled, intentional artistry. The shop itself is spotless, calm, and comfortable. It has a relaxed atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. Also, Isaac does the piercings, and his custom jewelry designs are seriously next-level, super intricate, unique, and not something you see everywhere. We'll 100% be repeat customers. If you want quality, detail, and people who actually care about getting it right, go check them out.

Everything was completely sterilized, and we had a chance to checkout the placement of our marked piercings (my old piercer at a different shop didnt let me, so I appreciated that). The piercings were $50 each, including the titanium hypoallergenic jewlery. The piercer was super friendly, and gave us the proper care and cleaning instructions. Perfect placement, very quick with the needle, and almost completely painless! Would definitely recommend.

So, I really wanted this tattoo. I walked into old world tattoo and the gentleman that was working…read morethere (I suppose he was the owner)... Was completely rude and standoffish. I had a printout of the image I wanted. The owner decided to be a little rude and finish whatever he was working on.... (Rolling up a banner) 10 minutes later, noticed that I was waiting for him... You have to realize I've been in the service industry for 15 years. Regardless if I was gay or not, I want to spend some money on the tattoo I want. I'm ready to drop some cash! The owner was completely offset on the idea I wanted and in fact said that it wasn't possible... So I found another option. I now have EXACTLY what I wanted! Including the UV tattoo I was looking to get. I spent $1500 in the process, but have an INK MASTER tattoo that I've always dreamed of. This is the point. If you want an artist style tattoo, do not visit old world tattoo. The store is not usually open, 6 chairs are usually empty, and the service is below par. You will get rude service, and you won't get what you really looking for. Judging by his own tattoos, I would've fired the artist that worked on him. (A very clear sign that you don't want this guy) If I am going to spend 8 hours, in a chair, with a guy that isn't sociable, I'd rather not. Maybe this is a sign that he shouldn't be in business. Fortunately, I found and international renowned artist named Ritchie Street who could take on the project I wanted. He was not only honest about what could be done, he exceeded my expectations by a million. We watched movies the whole day, joked around, and hung out like we had been buddies forever. This is the service I am looking for. Whatever old world has to offer, I do not accept. Because I am in the neighborhood, I have stopped by a couple times, just to show him what he missed out on on. He is usually closed (or out of the shop) This, to me is SO unprofessional, and talking to him made my decision in a nano-second. DO NOT VISIT THE SHOP

I would never let anyone I know go here!!! My teenage…read moredaughter and I, got matching tattoos on our wrist. A VERY simple, 10 minute tattoo. We have both gotten them fixed elsewhere as the simple infinity symbol was shaky and messed up!!! Unbelievable! I have 4 other, much larger, more intricate tattoos that I am thoroughly pleased with so I am not a newby. Horrible, rude service and terrible work!!!!!! Don't go!

REVIEW for ANDRES ACEVEDO--supremely talented, amazingly detail-oriented, incredibly intelligent,…read moreand yet remarkably humble. He did a COVER-UP for me of a very old tattoo and there is NO TRACE of the original. He hand-drew over my old tattoo when we first met--and his drawing skills are remarkable. More importantly, he listened closely to what I wanted, made me feel at ease, and talked to me when I got tired (my tattoo took a full-day and a 3/4-day session). Andres is not your average tattoo artist and not your average person. He thinks deeply about art and knows a lot about many different topics: philosophy, politics, literature, and art history, to name a few. He is a great artist who works in the medium of flesh, flourishing his tattoo pen with aplomb. Certified Tattoo, however, is not the best home for an artist of Andres' caliber. The appointment/sales team is overly friendly in a manner that felt disingenuous. The front desk staff was not friendly; they did not say hello when I walked in and kept me waiting without acknowledging my presence (this happened during both of my visits). The main studio at the Yale office is very open and loud, full of male tattoo artists with stereotypical swagger (and too much testosterone). The secondary studio where Andres works is much quieter, but there is no privacy and no concern for the client experience. They did not ask me what type of music I wanted to listen to, for example, and I was forced to listen to 8+ hours of Matchbox Twenty. The lighting is harsh with very blue light. People came and went as I was being tattooed--without saying hello or goodbye. I was face down, so I couldn't see anyone and every time I felt someone hovering over Andres, it made me feel uncomfortable. The building itself has a beautiful mural, which I appreciate. However, the interior decor is all bright white with harsh gold. The cement floors are cool, but otherwise the decor is overwhelmingly stark. I think a tattoo studio should be beautiful inside--especially because clients are necessarily forced to spend a lot of time there. It's a case of form following function: a place where people make art should itself be artistic. The stars are for ANDRES, who deserves a whole galaxy!

Great work, but an extreme rip-off. You pay for a tattoo and a touch up with an artist. You get the…read moretattoo, but their artists have a huge turnover. So you end up paying for the "free" touch up twice. Then they just rip you off with their "hourly rate". They will claim that they need 4 hours $1000) then rush your tattoo get it done in 2 1/2 hours and still charge you the $1000. They do nice work, but other tattoo studios do just as good quality work, and don't screw over their clients
