    Thigh tattoo of Quetzalcoatl in an ouroboros shape.

    I got tattooed by Ian Lutz, he's very fast with great solid line work. The shop is very cool and comfortable. The other artists are friendly and do good work as well!

    Mark at World Tattoo is my top pick for tattoos in Denver. This shop has a relaxed feel and great artist.

    Ian broke my trust in him as a tattoo artist. He turned my Julia Roblin tattoo into a disgusting joke. He may be a great artist but you don't mess with someone else's skin for your own amusement. Getting this fixed as soon as it heals but wanted to let everyone know Ian can seem like a good guy but he will take advantage of your trust in his integrity.

    A friend and I wanted to get tattoos but wanted to make sure everything was vegan and emil made sure everything was and accepted our walk ins when we had just called about 10 minutes prior. He was super fast, efficient and nice. His line work is also awesome! Highly recommend emil at world tattoo studio!

    I moved to Denver in September and was searching so hard to find a great tattoo shop that I could rely on for consistent quality work. I met Amy Shapiro at World through mutual friends and scheduled a consultation and we hit it off instantly. Amy has the incredible ability to interpret and express your ideas and suggestions in a creative and beautiful way and is so receptive to feedback and new ideas. It's gotten to the point where I trust Amy so much I've gone into sessions without any real idea of what we're doing to fill a space but know it's gonna be good. We've been having appointments since February and I've gotten an entire sleeve done with absolutely no regrets. Soft hands, clean lines, the recognition to tailor tattoos to the space they are in and an absolute pleasure to be tattooed by. Although I'm incredibly partial to Amy through the tattooing experience I've seen the work done by Al, Matt, and Ian as well as the rest of the staff and can say without a doubt that working with an artist at World Tattoo is a unique tailored and comfortable experience for anyone. I'll go on to add that I was one of Worlds first customers after their covid reopening. I was a little nervous at first to get a tattoo especially with the health crisis but World has put all of my worries to rest. Stations were already cleaned and properly sanitized by staff members but they've implemented so many procedures to make tattooing feel more safe. Masks are strictly enforced and rooms are limited to the artist and the canvas only. If there is a tattooer within a close proximity I was even given the opportunity to reschedule to a later date where I would be the only one in that room. Don't hesitate to trust anyone here with your ideas, health, ink, and money. This is truly the best tattoo shop in Denver!

    I randomly walked in to World Tattoo after driving by on my way to get work done on my car. I had planned to go to Dedication Tattoo to talk about an idea I had, but was on foot, so thought I'd try a much closer studio. I'm super glad I did. I was pretty nervous. My first tattoo at 36 yo and it was a solo adventure. Chris was super nice. My idea of a realistic oak tree might have been out of his normal wheelhouse and he did a good job of ensuring my expectations were realistic. In about 20 minutes he drew up an outline that was perfect. Throughout the process, he checked in with me to see how I was doing and let me know the progress. He clearly has been tattooing a long time and is an expert. My tattoo is beautiful and I couldn't be happier!

    My fresh thigh piece!
    Vanessa U.

    I had the most pleasant experience at World Tattoo! I have been dreaming of getting a piece done by Ian for a few years and when I heard he moved back to Denver I immediately sent him an email. He replied quickly and got me in for a consult in just about a week or so. He was so friendly and knowledgeable as we spoke about my thigh piece, we finished by making an appointment about a month out. He drew up my tattoo in about an hour and we spent a lot of time making it perfect after we stenciled it on my thigh. He put a lot of concentration and focus into making sure it was aligned appropriately! The tattoo took a little over 3 hours with a couple of breaks. Ian was super friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire experience! I HIGHLY recommend you check out the shop whether you see Ian or you see Chris, his business partner. Both are swimming in talent, I'm honored to carry this beautiful piece on my thigh forever! I can't wait to build on it!

    Amy Shapiro-Esswein is my go to for tattoos here in Denver! She's done 3 custom pieces on me now, one being a cover up, and I'm in love with them all! Super easy to work with, open to suggestions, understands my need to not talk and just listen when it starts to hurt haha (I'm a wimp).

    WOW! Loved our experience at DT! We took our daughter in for her first tattoo (18th birthday…read morepresent) and couldn't be happier. Clean, professional, kind, personable and highly skilled artists. I would highly recommend! Special shout out to our artist Aaron - he is amazing!! Not only did he do a perfect tattoo for our daughter but he was so nice, chill, loves what he does and it shows. We really appreciate that! He made our daughter's first tattoo experience super special. Thank you Aaron!

    Dedication is a traditional tattoo shop on South Broadway.They're open 7 days a week. You can…read morerequest a free consultation and make an appointment, or if you can walk in on a whim. 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!

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.

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.

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.
