This place is great – totally worth the trek downtown if you don’t live nearby. I went in today to get my 5th and 6th tattoos. I have been to several other shops in the past, but this was by far the best experience I’ve had anywhere. I was a walk-in, but I was welcomed warmly and accommodated quickly. There were two artists free, so I looked through their portfolios to choose which I would work with. While they both had exceptional work, I chose Vinny because he had some very impressive examples of geometric line work, which is what I was looking for. The two pieces I was getting today were small and relatively simple, but I felt like Vinny gave my design the same level of thought and consideration as someone there to spend several hours and several hundred/thousand dollars on a larger piece. Vinny was able to modify a larger design to the size I wanted, and his design was beautiful. He did an awesome job with the new pieces, and he even touched up two of my existing tattoos in the same area for free! He had a skillful and gentle touch – the most painless work I’ve ever had. I am confident they will heal beautifully. The price was less than expected, $50 apiece for two small black ink designs about the size of 50 cent pieces. I’ve been charged as much as $70 for similar work that was not of this caliber. I was able to pay with a card, which is always nice (some places are cash-only). Vinny said if I ever need a touchup at any time in the future he would take care of it free of charge. Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. Clean and modern facility, welcoming staff, talented artist, great work, and a guarantee for future touchups (which I doubt I’ll need for a while, but very small black ink tats do looks best when freshened up from time to time). I would highly recommend Tribe and especially Vinny. Five stars for sure!!

From the first communication I had with John and Holly at Tribe Tattoo, I have been impressed by their shop. As a newbie, I had no idea where to start. Holly was great in entertaining my ideas for a custom piece and arranged for a consultation with John, the shop owner. He listened to what I had to say and came up with a great design. I got to see the design a few weeks before my session and that was a great opportunity to give any input. Before my first session, I had a few questions - I e-mailed the shop and got a response the same day - with very detailed instructions for the day-of. I was pretty nervous when I arrived for my appointment, but everyone was so laid-back and yet professional, it really put me at ease. John was great - he talked me through everything and boy was he FAST! The piece was finished after about 2 hours - and I didnt really even notice the passage of time. It has been 5 days since I got the tattoo and it is healing perfectly. I think their aftercare instructions are great. I have gotten so many compliments on my new back piece - someone even said, "Wow, those lines are so perfect - is it real?" I have recommended John to everyone from friends to family and would go no where else to get ink. I cannot recommend Tribe Tattoo highly enough. Many thanks!

Tribe is the BEST! I have gotten both pierced and tattooed at Tribe and I have loved all of my experiences! I have been to quite a few shops all around the U.S. and can honestly say that Tribe is most definitely my favorite. Not only have my experiences been extremely professional, but very comfortable and a lot of fun! Every shop Ive ever been to has had at least one person, if not the entire staff, act pretentious, cocky and overall unfriendly, which obviously did not translate into an enjoyable time. But at Tribe, customer service is actually a huge part of what they strive for, as it should be! The artists are talented, the place is super clean, (not to mention full of awesome art/decor to look at), and the act of getting something as important as a tattoo or piercing has always ended up being special and fulfilling. I recommend Tribe to all my friends and family members and am glad to have finally ended my search for an awesome shop!!!

After doing some research on the surrounding shops i decided to use Tribe and couldnt be happier i made that call. From the start the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Working with Dennis has been great, i came to him with an idea and he took that idea and turned it something better than i could have ever imagined. Once we settled on the design it was time to put that work in. After 4 hours in the chair the artwork came out incredible. Ive had nothing but great comments on not only the awesome design, but the quality and precision of lines as well. All in all i cannot recommend this shop high enough. A great group of people who have a passion for what they are doing and i cant wait to get back and get some color on this bad boy. Make this your first stop if your new to Denver and looking for Tattoo shop. Dan

On May 10th, 2006 I got my first tattoo ever! I chose John Slaughter of Tribe Tattoo to be the artist to put permanent ink on my skin... I had seen his work on dozens of my friends in the past and had always been a fan of his work. That day changed my life! Since then, I have spent many hours in his chair getting amazing work and incredible customer service! People are constantly stopping me on the street, grocery store, gym and everywhere else to compliment my tattoos and ask where I had them done. I no longer live in Denver, but I still travel back for one reason... the incredible work and friendship of Mr. Slaughter and his crew. I will be a Tribe Tattoo customer for life!

Kristie did my tattoo about 8 months ago, it turned out to be incredible. I went in with some rather terrible sketches about what I wanted, and she turned it into a piece that I can display proudly. The shop is incredibly clean, and everybody in there treats you kindly. Kristie was, and continues to be, very patient with me when discussing my tattoos and ideas. I plan on going back in the next month or so hopefully to have her do my next piece, and I cant wait. I definitely recommend going here. Some people say that its expensive, but Im more than willing to pay a little extra when I know that Im getting a fantastic, clean, quality tattoo thats sure to last me a life time.

I find all the reviews surprising. I had the single worst experience at this establishment. The artist was Kenny. The work was inferior. I was treated poorly when I had come in for a touch up. I was told to come back, so I made an appointment for my touch up. I came in as scheduled, was told I had no appointment; waited an hour to sit for the touch up. He rushed through as if I was an inconvenience. It still looks awful. and .... for the small amount of work and horrible execution, was charged $220 for A tattoo I am currently seeking to cover over. The hand poke I got in prison is better quality! Very dissatisfied. I would tread careful at this studio.
