I scheduled an appointment with Noel and was able to get an immediate booking that day (I found out a few hours later possibly why he was available the same day and not booked out like most artists in the area). I spoke with him on the phone and explained what I was looking for and sent a picture of my wifes existing tattoo that I was wanting him to cover up. I was hoping to surprise my wife with something shed been asking for. I also sent pictures of what we were hoping he could cover up with. I called him back and reviewed the email that I had sent him (over the phone) He agreed to the work, it seemed like a pretty straightforward job. Upon our arrival he quickly became argumentative and generally rude. It seemed that he did not have the confidence and experience to tackle work that I know to require average skill level. I cannot speak for the whole shop, others in the place seemed cool. He bragged on his $150 an hour pay rate and generally said he didnt want to do the work. Noel needs to learn what being professional means and I would not recommend him. Due to the higher ratings of this business (and him not being listed on the business Web site) I am guessing he may not last long there.

I was in town on a bit of an escape and needed a tattoo. I checked out two other shops in town and just didnt get the right feel from anyone I talked to. I walked into this place and had a good felling, then I met Greg and knew for sure I was in the right place. I cannot say enough about my overall experience (including my tattoo which turned out better than Id imagined). I HIGHLY recommend Greg, his work is awesome and is a super nice guy (from what i know). I was actually his first tattoo at this shop, which added to the experience tremendously Im sure. Anyway, Im from Milwaukee and will probably just factor the cost of flight and hotel into my next tattoo - my experience was that good.

Dont do it! My fiance and I walked in and because we didnt have appointments they werent going to take us. The place was empty and the artists were standing around out front...??? Anyhow they decided to hand us over to what seemed like the apprentice because he was a nervous wreck. That shouldve been our first sign to RUN out. Yet with all the great reviews I thought we were in good hands. Whelp no we werent! They charge us 240 for 3 small, simple finger tats & the newbie botched us! When I called back 3 wks after, once healed, the guy that answered was rude & unconcerned. To top if off they wanted us to pay cash and said we could walk to an ATM... Wow

Ive literally spent thousands of dollars at this shop among a few different artists. The positive- an abundance of talent. The not so good- recently hiring a cocky artist who only cares about the money. It was a rework on an existing tattoo. Never once did he ask me if I liked what his plan was or what I liked/didnt like about the existing tattoo. So now after spending $1200 with him, I get to go spend more money on tattoo removal. The 1st tattoo with him was awesome, so I trusted him on the 2nd time. Big mistake. I hate what he did with his line work and when I let him know I wasnt liking it, guess what- no response.

I had the luck of getting Zach as my artist today. I brought in a few scattered sketches, and he was able to quickly turn my ideas into a great design. The snake in the back of the shop was creepy (no offense, Rositat), but Zach was amazing. I dont want to give him a big head or anything, but he really did a great job. Plus, he was pretty hilarious. He answered my questions, and was quick and precise. My friend got her first tattoo at the same time, and also had a great experience. I will definitely return to Zach for more ink in the future. Loved everything about today. Thank you!

I called and got an appointment to come in same day. It took Kyle about 30 minutes to see what I wanted, to actual drawn out design. He was super friendly and meticulous. Not to mention he did a fantastic job with my tattoo! It turned out better than I hoped. He even spent the last 10 or so minutes of our session, making sure there wasnt the littlest spot left of my piece looking unfinished. Ive only had this newest tattoo for a few days and Ive already received MANY comments on how great his line work is! I will definitely be going back to Kyle soon!

First time in Denver - girls weekend, what can we do...TATTOOS! We got here at 2pm hoping theyd accept 3 walk- ins, they suggested we come around 3pm - I sat down to get started at 3:20. This place was AWESOME! The guys were super friendly & funny. All our tats were done in less than 20 mins. Zack Brunner was great! He was able to fix a tattoo I got last year that didnt turn out right. This place stays busy, so if you really need to get a tat, call ahead & set an appointment.

Zach did both mine and my husbands tattoos, and they are AMAZING. He is lighter handed, and his lines are perfect and consistent, with or without shading. In addition, he is friendly and patient, and wants you to get the best tattoo for you. While I have not been tattooed by the rest of the artists at this location, I have seen them at work, and their tats are amazing as well! Everyone is incredibly friendly and makes you feel comfortable. We will most definitely be back.

I walked into the shop today and was greated with excellent customer service. The shop has a very unique display of items throughout and was very clean and well kept. The owner (Dread) was very curtious and professional as well as taking the time to understand what I wanted. In the end it was a great tattoo and a great experience. I will continue going there in the future and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get their next or first tattoo! James Webb (Denver)

Followed Babs here from her old location and am so glad I did. Ive done two 5+hr sessions for my rib tattoo and have 1 or 2 more. She puts so much into her work, the result is more than I couldve hoped for. She is kind and as gentle as one could be while stabbing your skin with tiny needles haha. When I save more and am ready for my next one I hope shes the one to do it! Would recommend Clean shop, good prices, great people Will post pictures when finished :)

I recommend going to another tattoo parlor if you want professional courtesy. I met with Noel on a Monday and he was very friendly and responsive with the work I wanted done. He said he would have my design ready to go by the following Wednesday. It has been 4 weeks now and I have not heard back from anyone at the shop. I called twice but was told that Noel was out of the shop both times. I do not suggest this shop to anyone...
