BEST EVER-----WOW! I cant say enough good things about Aliza Ink Tattoo Company and Jenna, Chaz and the rest of the crew over there. When I first walked in, I was blown away with the atmosphere, the cleanliness and the people who greeted me. This is place is upscale atmosphere without the upscale attitude that you find in alot of shops in town. From the time I came in and Jenna welcomed me, until I left with my tat, I was made to feel like I was the most important person that had ever come through the door. Chaz and the crew worked with me to make my idea into a reality-- and that says alot when you are as fussy and picky as I am about the artwork I get or the people I will let work on me. Chaz is a genius with that tattoo gun of his and can make it do amazing work. I have never seen such clean and uniform lines from an artist-- and I have seen alot of them as I have traveled and shown at different shows from west to east coast. When I watch Chaz working, it is like watching a Master who truly loves his work bringing the art to life on skin. He is one of the kindest , funniest men I have had work on me and is truly concerned and cares about his customers. He will work on a piece-- large or small-- until the customer is happy with the art. Every piece is as important to him as if he were doing it to his own flesh and blood. I have been in the shop when he has been reworking pieces that he has done previously, or fixing things from years of abuse and neglect-- and have seen him bring back to life art that is 20-30-40years old. If you truly want fantastic service, people that care about you and your art, and are willing to work with you as long as it takes to get your work the way that you want it, you HAVE to go to Aliza Ink and see the crew over there. They treat you right, have a clean shop with great atmosphere (that you can bring Grandma to) and make your experience totally awesome. No way will you leave unhappy-- as long as you communicate with them. They are THERE FOR YOU!!!!

I was shocked at just how absoultely horrible my work turned out. The reviews were great, the art I had seen done, equally so. Yet, what I left with was absolutely atrocious!!! So bad was it, the next day I visited a new shop and immediately made an appointment to have it "fixed" for when I healed. It literally looked like a 3rd grader had drawn on me. Maybe Chaz does good work, all I know is he mailed it in on me & for that I would tell anyone who asks... "STAY AWAY"!!!!!!!! In response to the "manager". I find it interesting that you go months with very little reviews then suddenly I post a bad review and just after you reply, a stream of great reviews pop up from people who never posted before! My name is Rob, Chaz did a tattoo on my right arm that was to be representative of my daughter (Amy Brown with a touch of Virgo for her zodiac sign). I e-mailed him my art as requested. When I came in he did not even know he had an appointment, never saw my e-mail, and then could not print it. One of your other "artists" drew something up and Chaz tattoed me. I should have left when I saw the "drawing" but thought Chaz would clean it up and use his skill to make an amazing piece for me. So many things sat poorly with me & I should have just left. My bad! But that does not change that the work was absolutely HORRIBLE. Many people who saw it thought I had a scratcher do the work. NOT an AWARD WINNING ARTIST!!! The last thing I would ever do is have someone who performed as poorly as this, touch me with a needle again. I would rather pay a professional to do it right, then risk it getting worse. I am AMAZINGLY HAPPY with the work the "other" shop did. I have gone back since and am going back in another week. As I said in my previous review. Maybe Chaz is great... on this day he WAS NOT!!!! I wish you nothing but the best, my review is just my experience and can be taken for what it is worth by whomever so choses.. but at least it is a REAL review! I would post a picture if that feature existed!

I decided to pick Aliza for my tattoos based off of reviews. I wish I had done more research. I wanted a very simple Mickey silhouette tattoo on my wrist and wanted to talk to them about getting a large arm piece. When I was told the shop minimum I decided to get two small tattoos, Mickey and Minnie, one on each wrist. The tattoo "artist" Chris found two silhouettes online and made the transfers. Mickey was the first tattoo and I have minor complaints. His ears are not exactly round and if he was the only tattoo I could live with it. Now Minnie on the other hand... She is larger then Mickey, and seems to have been stretched during the process. Her ears are not even the same shape. Before I left the shop I pointed out that her ears were not the same and was told it was swelling and once that went down it would be okay. I knew as soon as I got home and some of the swelling had gone down that he was wrong. I have lived with the tattoos for a week now and decided to return to the shop and see how hard it would be to fix Minnie. Right away Chris got defensive and told me that it was "physically impossible" for them to be different sizes. Then tried to tell me that it was an optical illusion and that Minnie only LOOKED bigger because of her bow. All I was looking for was a simple touch up. Probably could have taken 15 minutes tops. I wasnt looking for an apology or refund. The fact that he still tried to tell me that there was nothing wrong with it, I will never trust him to touch my skin again. Update: I did go and have the tattoos covered with larger versions by a different artist in the shop. The tattoos had to triple in size. They are not what I wanted but at least they are presentable.

I have noticed the mixed reviews on your site so I need to put my opinion out there. I personally had a tattoo from AZ that I wasnt happy with. It was covering a large scar (which is hard to cover) Chaz redid my tattoo and added a second tattoo and I am extremely happy with it and now dont mind showing it off. Jenna also did a tattoo for me that represented my children and I love it too. I have 2 adult sons who have had many tattoos completed by Aliza Ink. My husband has had 2 half sleeves completed here and loves them more than anything. I have referred a lot of friends and family to this shop and they love them. The other day I ran into a hairstylist I referred and she said this is the only place she will go now. I will continue to tell everyone I know that this is the ONLY PLACE TO GO! It is rare for a satisfied customer to refer a product or place but more common for a dissatisfied customer to tell everyone they know. So for everyone out there reading this just know this is the cleanest shop, best work, and a gem to be found in Colorado. I would know I have lived all of there United States and have had friends that owned shops in several states so I was impressed with Aliza Ink and the work they did cleaning up a tattoo that I had completed by an owner of an award winning shop in AZ who was a friend of mine.Thank you Aliza Ink for your talent and sharing it with my family and friends!
