    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!

    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).

    In a world filled with endless tattoo shops, World Tattoo is the shop that will end your search. I found this place by word of mouth(thanks Alex Kass at Electric Panther in SA, TX), explored Ian Lutz's work via Instagram, and knew I wanted him to create my upper back piece. I went in for a consultation to discuss ideas with Ian and then scheduled the session a few months following. My appointment began on time and we only took a few breaks throughout. We listened to some awesome music and had great conversation(I never know what you're supposed to do or say when being tattooed). I ended up with the most beautiful peonies. Ian made sure to stay true to my traditional desire while also implementing his unique, individual style. I am walking around with a beautiful piece of art on my body that is truly one of a kind and you can, too!

    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!

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 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.

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.

    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.
