Best shop in the four corners! Highly recommend Robbyn Banks. The location is convenient and private. Great atmosphere.

Before I moved, I stopped in at Your Flesh to take advantage of their Friday the 13th tattoo special. I was one of the first people in line, so I got a coupon for a free tattoo! Unbelievable! So I got a koi fish on the small of my back. Yes, I have a fish tramp stamp. Woo hoo. The tattooist did a fantastic job! I was nervous with all the people watching - and even a local news writer there. I was asked a few questions about my tattoos and why I was getting the fish. I was in the newspaper. Kinda cool... a very small town-y thing to do. So, there was another Friday the 13th special, and again, I showed up early... but not early enough for a freebie. Oh well, it was still super cheap and I tipped well anyway. This time, I got a lotus blossom near an existing tattoo. Let me tell you that whatever ink they use... it's permanent! The two tattoos that I had done here are the only ones I have that aren't fading already (and I have 23 and counting). The reds are vibrant, the whites pop, and the yellow... yes, it's still yellow. Oh, and the black is BLACK, not kinda black, kinda gray. AWESOME TATTOO SHOP!!!!!! I wish tattoo parlors in Chicago had deals like they did! read more

I had a fantastic experience at Your Flesh. Brian was great to work with and I absolutely loved the design that he came up with. Everything about the process was professional and made me feel very comfortable. The end result was amazing! I love my tattoo so much. read more

Your Flesh Tattooing - Tattoo Near Me - Durango, Colorado

The first out of about 5 places I found who were willing to do a white-ink tattoo on me. Plus, they don't have any flash which is something I really find redeemable in a tattoo shop---sets them apart from cheap churning-out -identical-tats stores. You usually have to make a reservation in person to get a tattoo, but I had some time to kill so after meeting with them I came back in an hour and got it done. They were all so cool and wanted me to send in pictures of how my tattoo turned out, which I still need to do, oops! The only downside to this place is that it makes me want to get more tattoos! read more

Man, I am so disappointed in my experience with this shop. I live in Farmington, and since I was going to be in town yesterday I asked if I could drop by to get a consultation on a tattoo from an artist in another state that I would like reworked. I have heard great, great things about this shop, and the vibe inside of the shop is wonderful. Having browsed through the portfolios online, I sent the shop a Facebook message asking if I set up a time to talk with either Nic or Bob. Both of those artists had work in their portfolio similar to what I was looking for. Ty responded to my facebook message and told me to swing by the shop, so I let him know I'd be there between 4 and 5. The gist of our conversation was this: despite having left work an hour early so that I could get to the shop in time, there weren't any artists around to talk to me. According to Ty, Bob was busy tattooing and Nic had bolted once his appointment was done. Since there weren't any artists around, I couldn't get a price quote. If I wanted a sketch done, I'd need to leave a $100 deposit. The deposit is non-refundable. But what if I don't like what the artist draws up? "We're not going to give you a tattoo unless you're totally stoked about it." But the deposit is non-refundable? "Yeah, it holds your appointment." But I haven't even talked to an artist yet. "I can show them what you e-mailed me and then they can take over e-mailing you." No way, dude. Leaving a non-refundable $100 deposit when I can't even meet a tattoo artist or talk to him or her about the artwork? The whole reason I went to the shop was so that an artist could see the current tattoo in person. Did I miss something here? How on earth does that make sense? Mainly I just feel jipped because everyone else raves about their experience with this shop, but I left feeling like they didn't particularly care to have my business. read more

Dallas is a wonderful piercer. There isn't anyone in Durango that I will go to or trust more than him. He's excellent and knows what he's doing. read more

To say Your Flesh Tattoo is a first class tattoo shop is a massive understatement. From the shop's decor to the music that the artists play to the incredible talent of the artists, Your Flesh will impress you. I've been getting tattooed there for years. Tom Kipp is my artist. We have worked together on two arm sleeves and one leg sleeve. My artistic abilities are lack luster at best, all I need to do is bring an idea and Mr. Kipp does the rest. Over the years of working together on my tattoos, Tom and I have actually become friends not just artist-client relations. That's the type of shop Your Flesh is. I work in the office of a large corporation and I get constant compliments from my coworkers, who are by no means "tattoo" people. In summary, Your Flesh turns out quality every time. read more

I have had migraines for over 20 years. I had heard about daith piercings in your ear for relief. 9 weeks ago I had Dallas, at Your Flesh pierce my left ear (daith). Since that time I have only had one small migraine on the left. So yesterday I had Dallas pierce my right ear in hopes of alleviating my headaches completely. I haven't had my ears pierced since I did my own 45 years ago. I was beyond anxious when I first went in. Dallas was so professional in all aspects. His bedside manner put me at ease and I was able to get through the procedure with a minimum amount of stress. I trusted him enough to have him repeat the procedure yesterday on my other ear. This man is amazing at what he does and if I could give him a higher rating I would! read more

I have gotten most of my piercings here and Dallas is the absolute best person ever! He always does the best job and is extremely professional read more

All in all, the staff at Your Flesh is well-informed and confident about their work, and I would recommend going there to ANYONE. With piercings, you can typically get in if you walk-in, but tattoos seem to be strictly by appointment. My body has been beautified, and I couldn't be happier. read more

My husband and I have traveled to Durango regularly, and we have gotten tattoos done on our last two trips at Your Flesh. Both tattoos were of the straight line variety, which can be difficult to do well, but both Matt and Brian did great jobs on our tattoos. This may be our tattoo place even though it's far from home! read more

Wow wow wow! Dallas is the most amazing piercer I've ever come across! Such a gentleman, he creates a space that is safe and calm. Highly educated and very professional. My piercing had minimal discomfort. I had both nipples done. I almost wish I had a desire to pierce something else bc he's so good. Thank you so much Dallas. Much love to you and your art. read more

I went in there for a black and grey back piece tat and a PLAIN, NO COLOR, NO NOTHING OUTLINE of a Harley-Davidson bar and shield on my neck. Before I knew it, my black and grey back piece was FULL of color and there were little scratchy looking things inside of the bar and shield on my neck that the artist said looked like chrome. It hardly looked like chrome -- it looked more like a five-year-old had gotten ahold of a tat gun and went nuts with it. I went back and told him to go ahead and color it in with orange to try to cover up those scratchy marks so he colored it in with BLUE. Unbelievable. I was quoted $700 and it ended up costing me $1400, too. There's nothing I can do about the color on my supposed-to-be grey and black back piece but I was able to get the not-so-plain, scratchy looking bar and shield covered up by a great artist -- unfortunately, it's MUCH larger than I really had wanted it to be but my only other choice was to have that ugly scratchy looking thing on my neck removed. I would NEVER go there EVER again. read more

We were coming from a visit in Pagosa Springs and decided to take a stop in Durango to eat. We came across this place because I saw 3 local chicks with great earings (the wood crazy beautiful type) and asked someone where they got them... We went up these great stairs to one of the most original looking tattoo shops I have seen. They had every type and style of body jewelry you can imagine. The manager was super nice and helpful. So were the other guys working there for that matter. So many dudes at some shops have that Im cool shitty attitude which was nowhere to be found in this shop. I loved it. Next time we head out there we will have to stop long enough for one of us to get some ink. read more

I went with my friend to get her nipples pierced and it was the best piercing experience! The moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and it jut got better from there. The piercing artist, Dallas, was more than kind and informative. He made sure that my friend was completely at ease and explained everything he was doing from the way he used new and sanitized piercing instruments along with how he very carefully and delicately free handed her piercings. The way he explained the care and hygiene afterwards was executed beautifully, and you could tell that he genuinely cared, as opposed to just doing his job. My friend, with her new and bitchin nipple piercings, even insisted we do a Yelp review (something she's never felt a need to do). 8/8 gr8 m8! read more

Super expensive for no reason they have the most expensive jewelry just to rip you off. They do not care about the customer experience they care about making money on the piercings. I lost a ball off my lip ring got my piercing within two weeks and they tried to charge me for the ball ($10) because they made me get a $30 piece of jewelry since "it's the best man". Would not recommend getting a piercing here. read more

Why say open when you are not taking appointments. Lazy and lame. Bad business ethic.

Marcus Aday, Your Flesh's newest tattoo artist, is exceptionally good at his craft. He was able to conceptualize my tattoo ideas (which were vague and not very cohesive) and created a masterpiece. He expanded off of and reworked an older tattoo I had and creatively converged the the differing concepts of the tattoos and made them flow into a beautifully unified piece of art. He is truly talented and experienced. There is no wonder why such a reputable tattoo shop hired him on! Since he is newer to Durango, he is building his clientele and reputation. spread the word about him!! read more

Your Flesh Tattooing - Marcus Aday - Tattoo Near Me - Durango, Colorado

So amazing! What a great place to simply see some beautiful artwork. They have all kinds of art displayed throughout their shop instead of flash plastered on the walls. The shop itself is even neat to see....it's a victorian steampunk mix of items. I've also gotten tattooed here as well. Professional, clean, and always above and beyond my expectations. The staff seems really friendly and very well educated about their professions. I don't have a ton of piercings, but their selection of jewelry is huge and it's fun to look at the decorative pieces. Can't wait to get more work done here! read more

I had a horrible experience at your flesh tattoo. I went in to get a consultation and had a lot of questions, not completely sure what I wanted but wanted to talk it through and start the conversation. I did have a few different ideas and some photos of styles I liked. The gentleman tattoo artist mostly acted like I was an annoyance to him, seemed preoccupied and I felt he didn't care and wasn't engaged in the process. He came in wearing a leg boot because he had recently broken a bone and I thought maybe he was in pain and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I went home and became more clear on what I wanted and emailed him my decision (which is what he told me to do) and attached some photos again of styles I liked. In my naivety, I thought we would go back and forth on a design until it was something I wanted to have permanently tattooed on my body, but was told I could come in for an art check a week prior to my scheduled tattoo session and if there were any "tweaks" he would have the week to make it happen. I go in for my art check, expecting to see my tattoo that might need a tweak or two and he tosses (literally tosses) an outline my way, of something not at all resembling what I wanted, no detail at all, literally a one minute outline that my 6 year old could have drawn better. It was so bad, embarrassingly bad. My first thought was "wtf is this"?? My second thought was is this a joke, he's going to pull out his real drawing and we will both have a laugh. But no, that was the drawing. He pointed me to some mirrors and told me to figure out the placement, not even attempting to help me or talk with me. He didn't offer to sit down and talk about details. I continued to be nice even though he was one of the rudest people I have ever met, and tried to talk about it all with him, asking him about possible details etc, wondering why it didn't even resemble the mammal I wanted. He told me I needed to tell him what I wanted, that I didn't even know what I wanted when I came in for my consultation etc... even though I emailed exactly what I wanted and was told I could come see his art magic this day. I asked if I could have another art check and he rudely responded "if you need one" and walked away.....ummm never mind. I would NEVER let you tattoo me. I'll fly to Portland or timbuktu for that matter and pay double to have a real tattoo artist work on me, I'll find someone who cares, and who can draw. Thanks but no thanks. ps a narwhal doesn't have a top fin, nor is it shaped like the whale you traced and tried to throw a too fat horn on. Look it up. read more

Very nice people and place. I went in for my first tattoo and they were great. I got exactly what I wanted. Zach was my artist and was awesome. They also got me in fast and explained everything so I would know exactly what to expect when I got home. I will visit again when I return to Durango! ; read more

Fantastic. Everyone there is super experienced and my piercing didn't hurt at all. Best place in Durango by far.

I went to Your Flesh Tattoo last year for my first piercing that was not my lobes. Dallas (the piercer) was very informative and helped to calm me down. He walked me through the whole process from beginning to end. I have now gotten five piercings by him (Rook, Conch, Tragus, Tongue and Belly Button). Every time the service is just as excellent. He also checks all of my piercings when I go in to get a new one. It is obvious that he cares about the people that walk through the door and not just about the money. The shop itself is in a cool Victorian Era house. It is always clean and it has a friendly atmosphere. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants to get any body piercings done. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Completely disappointed. I read reviews and heard good things about this place. First of all, not a welcoming entrance at all. When the guy who had dreads finally said hello, I told him what I wanted. Which was an M on my wedding ring finger and told him that I would want the M to be able to be covered up by my wedding ring and band (so the width) which is a pretty big size because my ring and band cover a big portion of my finger where it sits. He said, "I don't want to do a finger tattoo on a young girl, who has no visible tattoos regardless of what your profession is." I told him I have four. My foot, ear, left rib, and my right rib cage is completely covered from top to bottom. He didn't care whatsoever. The girl sitting at the computer said, "we can get you in on July 9th with (I forget what name she said, starts with a B) who is comfortable doing that." Really, after being profiled for looking young and because you can't see any of my tattoos, you won't tattoo me, like I would ever in my right mind consider coming back to you guys. Your loss. The reason why you can't see any of my tattoos except my foot at the time is because I had my hair down and a shirt on, the point exactly, if I want my tattoos hidden then easy and if I want to show them off, easy as well. I get some tattoo artist are uncomfortable doing certain tattoos but judging and profiling someone because of the way they look is pathetic. Anyway, I went to another shop in Durango and they did it no problem and it looks perfect. Again, your loss. read more

Got my first tattoo today! I'm a student at Fort Lewis College and I really wanted a tattoo and have wanted one for a while. Anyways, Marcus was my tattoo artist today and he was amazing, he was fast yet precise, he made me feel confident with it being my first tattoo. I highly recommend this shop, everyone is so extremely friendly and they do great work! read more

I just got my very first tattoo done here earlier today and I absolutely could not be happier. I came in over the summer to get one but was not yet 18 so I couldn't get one then; however, the staff was so honest, helpful and friendly that, even though I live in California and only come to Durango for vacation, I decided to come back to Your Flesh after I turned 18 to get my tattoo because the customer service was so wonderful. So today, I had Gabriel as my artist and I am absolutely thrilled with not only the beautiful tattoo, but the overall wonderful treatment I received. Gabriel was very patient and helpful to me as this was my first tattoo, and he made me feel very at ease and comfortable as I came in both excited and nervous. Every staff member I have met from YFT has been absolutely wonderful. My tattoo turned out better than I ever imagined and I am beyond ecstatic. When getting future tattoos I will not choose to bring my business to anywhere but YFT!! read more
