have been going to Main Street Tattoo for 10 years, and I would not go anywhere else. I refer all my friends their because its the only place around that provides quality work along with the right price. They are so flexible and willing to work with the client. You can bring in your own work or work with an artist si that you piece is exactly the way you want it. I am currently being tattooed by Mike, Stevie, Russ, and recently by Santos. Stevie: Stevie has been tattooing me since the day she started tattooing. I have her first piece on me as well as about 15 or more pieces. Her attention to detail is amazing and her skill level keeps improving. When I go in she is always their with a smile on her face and a new piece that I cant turn down! She is top on my list and I will follower her wherever she goes! Russ: I have also been going to Russ since day one. The pieces that he comes up with are phenomenal Maybe you want some free hand stuff done or a piece that you have created, Russ is able to listen to your needs and create an amazing piece that you will love. Mike: Mike is the owner and one of the nicest men I have met. His tattoos are perfect and his attention to detail is priceless. He knows how to run a shop and is the perfect artist for anything you need. Needless to say I am a MST girl for life. I get compliments every day on the work they do and will never go anywhere else!!! This is the shop you need to go to I promise you will be happy and continue to go back.

I had started my tattoo with Russ and he did a killer job, had a second appointment planned to get the finishing touches before he moved and he no longer works there... The shop never contacted me to inform me of this. Luckily I called the day before and found out before I drove all that way for my "appointment". They wouldnt tell me why he left early, or what the deal was and would not give contact info for Russ. Main Street had me finish my tattoo with another artist, Jamie. I went in for my appointment and he spoke vaguely about what he would be doing and he quoted about a $200 sess to finish the piece. He probably did about 45 mins of tattooing straight color and zero detail. Im normally comfortable with artists discretion when it comes to tattoos, but this wasnt a professionals artwork, Basically imagine a child and a coloring book. After the tattooing was finished, which was waaayy shorter than anticipated, I assume he was bored of coloring, I was charged $70 for the session and couldnt be more upset. I may not have shown it to the staff but Im pissed. The shop had my respect in the beginning but have certainly lost it after that experience.

Once I left California three years ago, I never dreamed I would find someone (anyone) who could do fine line art, piercings and in a cool, sanitary and loving environment. I have had people grab the half sleeve Stevie Jean has done for me and just keep gushing "fresh ink, fresh inK" I keep running out of her business cards. Between her, Russ and Mike the owner I have never felt so happy, comfortable and well cared for in a totally clean and sanitary environment. These guys arent into stencils and tracing work, they are TRUE artists who will draw on my body, ask me if I like it and do the work. Anyone can do a copy of someone elses work, but these people are true artists, I have had several cover up pieces done, by Stevie Jean and Russ is working on an amazing dragon for me. Both are gentle, kind and major professionals. The owner, Mike, is an amazing guy, very laid back, hope one day I can get some work done by him. You will NEVER go wrong walking into this shop....

When I was 17 I went to main street to get my first tattoo, I had it done by someone named Dave. He was really pushy and I did not feel like I really had a say in what I was putting on my body. I was young and too scared to stop him and ever since then I have regretted it. I decided I wanted to get more added on to my tattoo to try to make it better a couple months ago (I did not have high hopes). I was also a little scared to go back to main street but all I hear around town is that they are the best. I went back and found out that they had fired Dave a long time ago, this made me feel a lot better about getting my tattoo done here. I talked to the owner about this issue I had and he made me feel so much better about it and assured me that he could make it into something cooler! Mike made the tattoo I didn’t really like into something I now love and was super nice to me during the process! I will never go anywhere else that is for damn sure!

I wish I never went here. I have gotten three tattoos here and only am satisfied with one of them. I dont know why I went back the next two times. I went to two different artists, both of which are very full of themselves and rude. When I mentioned I was unhappy with my tattoos, they scoffed as if no one could ever be unhappy with their "masterpieces." For one of my tattoos I had made two suggestions when asked what color I would like and both suggestions were shot down with "It doesnt work like that, this is MY art." Well you know what? This is MY skin and Im stuck with something I hate for the rest of my life. THANKS. The only good thing about this place is the sweet girl who does piercings. I have no idea what her name is or if she even works there anymore. I hope for her sake she has moved somewhere better with better coworkers.

My experience at Main Street Tattoo was similar to standing in line at the the DMV. I found a couple of the employees to be quite rude or stand-offish and seemed to not want to, nor take the time to get my artwork drawn the way I wanted. I was then told, in as few words as possible that my design was "stupid" and "wouldnt look good as a tattoo"....so I left it to the professionals being that this is my first tattoo and their reputation bettered that of the other local shops. After an uncomfortable hour or so, I then walked out feeling as if I was cheated out of my money and even more so, robbed of the experience of memorializing my mother with a tattoo. With great regret Im sad to say I wish after 46 years, I had opted not to get tattooed!

I have had several pieces done by Dave and I can honestly say that his work is amazing! He is currently working on a sleeve on my right arm and it is turning out awesome. My girlfriend just got her first tattoo from Dave and is unbelievably happy with it and loved the experience. Maybe Mr. "I wish I hadnt" is better off somewhere else anyway. I have known almost everyone at the shop a while now and they are all cool and care about the work they put out there. I would recommend that if you love tattoos, this is up there with one of the best shops in Colorado.
