I had gotten a tree tattoo on my stomach 10 years ago from Kevin Powers, see image when I was pregnant. I ended up finding him after he bought his own shop and so thankful I did!!I had a vision to extend the tree up my back and down my leg. This tattoo means the world to me and keeps me going strong in sobriety. He did everything the exact way I wanted and then some...adding his Kevin aspects in. He truly made this into a masterpiece and I highly trust him to do anything and everything creating your vision.I also noticed during the 7 sessions I was there how PROFESSIONAL THE SHOP IS IN GENERAL! They dont mess around, they are super clean, get things done in a timely manner, respectful and - all in all wonderful staff. Had me laughing a bunch...such a fun environment.Thank you again Inksmith Tattoo and KEVIN POWERS, you are such an incredible artist!!! You all are awesome...more than 5 star experience!!!~Cassie Ressler
I got pierced by Jaycie who was super nice and really funny she made me feel comfortable the whole time. The whole place is cool from the second you walk in to seeing an open layout of the tattoo chairs is just awesome. The piercing wasnt that bad and neither was the jewelry in fact she was able to custom make the jewelry for my belly button piercing! It was so fast and she explained it so well about how to care for it and I just feel great about it! Would recommend if in Boulder area and looking for a piercing since its only a 15 min drive
Denise did a great job! She pierced both of my daughters’ ears. They are 5 & 6. She made them feel safe and calm during the process! I have recommended her several times to friends!Kevin did my first tattoo so far! He was amazing and did exactly what I wanted! I absolutely love my tattoo! I will only go back to him for my next one! Highly recommend!!
Visited Inksmith while on a girls trip for the weekend. Tattooed by Kevin & pierced by Denice. For someone who’s very picky about who tattoos me & pierces me, I give them 10 stars each if I could. Kevin is a great artist & Very good at his craft. He’s also friendly & kind while working on your tattoo. Good preparation & cleanliness is top notch.Denice is extremely knowledgeable about the jewelry they use, then walks you through every step before she does anything. I have extremely tiny ears so placement and jewelry is very important so it’s not overbearing in a small area. She made picking jewelry simple. She sent me home with everything I needed including after care since I’m out of state.I’m definitely coming back when I’m in the area! All of the staff was friendly, knowledgeable & fun. The entire place is bursting with a great energy. Highly recommend you book an appointment immediately with this great group of people!
Absolutely loved my experience here! Been going here since I got my first piercing a few years ago. Now have only gotten tattoos and piercings here. Everyone is very friendly and professional. Love the community they have and love the services! Their selection of piercing jewelry is incredible! And the tattoos come out fantastic!
Two of my daughters ( 16,11) have had their earlobes pierced by Denice. She is awesome! The piercing process is super hygienic (gloves, face mask worn by all, everything wiped down), very professional and informative. Denice spoke directly to my daughters and made sure they were happy with each decision that was made.One of my daughters started having some problems with lobe swelling about a month into the healing process. I contacted Denice and she had us in the same day to help relieve the problem. I love that! A simple change of earring style and my daughters ears are looking great with no more swelling!Amazing compassion and customer service for their clients. Highly recommend this business.
Denice was amazing. Super professional, calm and reassuring. I will never go anywhere else!
Denice helped me get great results with my lip piercing and nostril piercing! I have had bad experiences (at other shops) with my other attempts at having a lip piercing, but she helped me get the result I wanted. She took her time with marking to make sure I would have a better outcome this time around. She is super kind and I would highly recommend her to anyone because she takes the time to make sure you get what you want! ^__^
Amazing, good service and feels like a family. Dani was very patient and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
My 10 year old had her ears pierced here by Denise. Denise was so great at making my daughter feel comfortable and less nervous. She talked directly to her and answered all of her questions. They provide you with a cleaning kit after and give good instructions for care. Highly recommend!!
Ive been here before for a small walk in tattoo and everyone is always super friendly and personable. Its a great environment. Denice is wonderful with kiddos. She does an awesome job and my daughter had a wonderful experience getting her ears pierced by her.
This is the only place I will go to for piercings and tattoos. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. I am happy with all the tattoos and piercings I’ve gotten there. I recommend all my friends to go here for all their piercing and tattooing needs. You all are awesome!
I will always recommend them for any piecing or tattoo. I have gotten all three of my tattoos here with two different people and all of them are amazing. They listened to what I want and my vision and made it happen while exploring different options with me.Always willing to help with piercings and even three years later after getting my helix pierced they still with change the jewelry for a minimal charge.10/10 experience every time I go in.
Denice is the piercer/one of the owners, and knows what the f she’s doing! I have a bleeding disorder and have been turned down from some places in the past, but we discussed what was going down before the actual piercing and she took me right in.She pierced my septum yesterday, and I’m not in pain. This was much less painful than my ears (which were NOT done by Denice), and I even got a sweet gold ring for a great price. We even briefly discussed the possibility of some repairs, where Denice was super honest about what she was comfortable with doing.The shop was super busy, but that’s an awesome sign for a tattoo/piercing spot. Denice’s honesty was another great sign. I will 150% be back (hopefully soon), for both another piercing and some artwork. Can’t wait!
The process was easy from beginning to end. They offer a follow up (nostril piercing) and answer questions thoroughly! Clean & friendly!
I scheduled a tattoo and sent them an exact image of what i wanted. When it came time to actually get the tattoo, the artist took his own creative liberties without asking me. The tattoo still ended up looking good so thats why Im not giving one star, but he really shouldve talked with me to make sure I wanted the added detail. Its on me forever, youd think thered be a little more communication.
I have had two nose piercings done by Denise, and a tattoo by Leo. Both experiences were amazing. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. My only regret is not having more work done here while in Colorado.
I would like to thank you all at the shop for your awesome services your kind hearts i will travel again to get my work done..and I will be telling all my friends and family to come as well love.. your all are awesome and appreciated
My 8 year old had her ears pierced by Denise. She took her time and explained everything so there were no questions or rush. My daughter was comfortable with the whole experience, and her ear piercings look great! Very clear instructions on how to do after care as well. Thank you!
My first encounter with Inksmith was remarkable. I wanted a piercing on a whim and Jaycie got me in right away! My piercing healed well and the aftercare instructions were thorough. I found Danny on their Instagram page and made an appointment for a tattoo almost immediately. He kills it when it comes to detail! I highly recommend Inksmith for all piercings and tattoos. Their crew is fun, kind, professional and very clean.
Inksmith was suggested to me by a close friend for a tattoo, and she specifically recommended Kevin. I went in for my consultation with half an idea of what I was looking for, and what he designed is phenomenal. With just that 10 minute consultation he created a piece of art that I am so honored to wear, pulling in all the feelings and ideas I didnt know how to articulate let alone incorporate into the design. I was blown away. Thank you Kevin!The other staff and artists in the shop are also awesome - I spent my four hours in the chair talking about everything from travel, to opera, to life....you name it. I felt welcome, and would spend the day with this crew any time.P.S. Inksmith strictly adheres to the COVID protocols, and they made the process super easy. Just follow their email, text, and voicemail with the guidelines and you will be just fine :) Anyone who wrote otherwise in a review was looking - and looking hard - for something to complain about.
I actually came here because I needed piercings replaced after an mri. I went to a different place in Longmont to have them removed when I couldnt do it, and I knew I needed a cleaner, more professional shop to put them back.Denise was so nice, cleaned my old bars and helped me pick new ones. We even chatted about doing lobes on minors and Im so excited to take my daughters here when theyre ready.
Got my third tattoo from Danny today out six total tattoos I have! Even after I moved out of Louisville I keep coming back. Great shop 👌
I was extremely happy with myservice. The owners and there staff are very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it to everyone. U would not be disappointed.
My daughter has visited Inksmith for ear piercings twice now and both experiences were top notch. Denice is wonderful!!!
Kevin consistently blows me away! Very professional, personable...I gave him my thoughts and he created a Masterpiece!! I have tons of trust in him and the shop has great vibes, everyone so personable. So pleased with my tattoo and will be back for more! Thanks Kevin...incredible artist!
Denise was amazing for my Medusa piercing. She is very precise with everything I’ll be seeing her soon for a new one after this one heals!!!
I got a ships wheel with a detailed sail boat and wave in the middle with a compass rose within the wheel tattoo done by Kevin. He made me comfortable (this was my first tattoo experience). The quality was so much more than I could have imagined and Kevin knew exactly how to approach the wording and colors in the way I wanted. Had such a good experience and Kevin clearly knows what he’s doing. Will definitely be going back.
I have got a few tattoos done here at InkSmith and it is a great spot, with polite and hard working artists. Kevin, the owner and my artist, always does great work and is super cool!
As always staff was friendly and helpful. We love this place. Myself and my family all go here for piercing and tats.
Very friendly and helpful staff! Got a piercing from Denice, she’s very sweet and was walking me through everything I needed to know!
Great experience taking my daughter to get her ears pierced.
Awesome! Jaycie was gentle and did a great and quick job with my piercings.
I just got my second tattoo from Danny, and I can confidently say that I will go to your shop for every and any tattoo I get in the future. You guys rock!!
Wow. The moment you walk in you’re welcomed by Amy with such an inviting personality. I had Danny as my artist and he did an amazing job. He listened to exactly what I wanted and didn’t try to push any other ideas. He was open to suggestions and really listened to what I wanted. Such a clean place and I saw them clean everything constantly. Such a good feeling during these times! I’ll be back and I can’t wait to recommend them to others!
This place has some talented artists. Im taking my daughter here to get her ears pierced for her 4th bday. 💜
My sister and I walked in with ideas for our tattoos, they turned out amazing, and were done quickly. Definitely gonna make another visit at a later date 😁
Danny was awesome. Great design work and solid, great ink work.
Had a wonderful experience from design to production/tattoo with Danny Argote.
Danny is the best! Go here for all piercing and tattoo needs.
Staff were super friendly, Jaycie was so patient and helpful to show me a variety of options in store and ordering. I will definitely be back for more gear.
Super dope shop Leo G did my ink and I’m stoked Much Respect Everyone there had cool vibes I’’m definitely coming back for more This is what a tattoo shop is supposed to be like in my opinion
Went today to get a septum piercing and had an incredible experience. I was pierced by Denice and she was awesome! Super professional, knowledgeable and made the experience comfortable. I will definitely be recommending all my friends to get pierced here!
Love Kevin and his crew. Great shop and great artists.
Kevin at InkSmith was amazing! I would highly recommend going to him! My daughters and I got a total of 6 tattoos, all different and Kevin made all of them perfectly. One of mine need to be hand drawn around my arm and it turned out amazing! Thank you Kevin!!!!
After a mishap at tribal rites in Boulder I immediately called Inksmith, they scheduled me for a last minute appointment and saved me from a really uncomfortable piercing that definitely could have gotten bad quickly without help. Denice took great care of me, she was kind, helpful, and clearly knew her stuff. They also had great covid precautions in place, I felt very safe. Each employee I talked to was also super nice. It is a great environment, you will definitely be in good hands here.
Took my 8yo to get her ear lobes pierced with Denise. The whole place is taking COVID precautions seriously. The shop is super clean, staff is friendly, and Denise was awesome with my kiddo, explaining the process and aftercare clearly and answering all my daughters questions. We even went back to have the lobes checked to make sure they were healing properly and I couldnt ask for a better experience. Highly recommend Denise for piercings!I will absolutely go back to support InkSmith for piercings and tattoos
I had a great experience getting my nose pierced yesterday by Denise. She got it done very quick and was super informative. Will definitely come back for any future piercings.
I went here to get a piece done that I have wanted for a long time. Kevin is a master of his craft, a great artist and a true professional. The shop is super clean with a great vibe and amazing people. every employee that I met over my three sessions was outstandingly warm, real and friendly; it was like hanging out with family. As I sat in the chair I watched as the lead piercer, Denice saw client after client of ages young and well, not so young. I watched and listened as she welcomed people over to her station and guided customers through the intricacies of proper care and maintenance of their piercings. She made every one of her clients super comfortable but at the same time was stern and real with her instructions; like a mom teaching her kids how to do thing the right way. The whole staff at Inksmith deserves a round of applause and one hell of a thank you from this old Mop Jockey. I will only be recommending Inksmith Tattoo and piercing to everyone I know.
Cant believe I havent posted here, as I have 3 tattoos that I love from Danny. I have a whole group of friends who goes to Danny for tattoos. The other people who work here are great, everyone seems to get along and its relaxing.
So nice and helpful. Always a pleasure to come here !
Everything about this shop is amazing! I’ve been pierced by Denise and tattooed by Kevin and they are both incredible.
My wife and I have had a many pieces done here by Kevin, Danny, and Ivanna. The are all incredible artists and just the best. Ive also been pierced by Denice and Jaycie and they are smooth and have a great eye for placement. The shop is great equal parts cool and sanitary with fantastic art work. The wonderful humans that work at the shop are very nice and wickedly cool. Definitely will be coming here for a while. 10/10 would get repeatedly stabbed in my skin here again.
Okay this is going to be long so TLDR: another shop did me wrong with an industrial and Inksmith fixed it. All the staff was professional and kind. Jaycie was gentle, educated, and I had a great experience.I went to this shop after getting an industrial piercing elsewhere that pierced me with jewelry that was way too big. I was hoping to downsize and they were able to get me in quickly. When I made the appointment they were helpful and very nice from the get go and the good experience continued all the way through! As far as COVID everything was very clean and they took good precautions.Jaycie was able to answer my questions and was extremely gentle. I still have some swelling and soreness and I didnt feel her change the jewelry.. like at all. This was a welcome change as the original piercing was pretty painful with no numbing gel. They were able to get me a proper sized bar, confirmed the correct size (she caught that the original shop I went to told me the incorrect gauge too) and I was able to get jewelry I actually liked. It looks way better now and making those changes really made me love my piercing.I see that a couple people mentioned that jewelry is expensive. In my opinion this is indicative of quality jewelry and thats what I found here. It is titanium as and has internal threads (another fault of the original shop, they used externally threaded). The ends are very pretty and look almost like opals. While I agree that is pricey, it is partially the nature of the jewelry and I dont think thats something the shop should be faulted for.Finally, to end my novel I just want to reiterate how professional I felt everyone I interacted with was. As someone with anxiety, feeling comfortable is huge and I wasnt uncomfortable at any point. Jaycie was able to educate me and corrected something I said that was wrong in a way that wasnt rude at all. I plan to come back for one more downsize once healing progresses more and hope to get future piercings done here, thank you for a great experience!The picture with all silver jewelry was right after the original piercing with large jewelry (that looked even larger once the swelling went down) from the different shop. The other picture is the new jewelry from Inksmith that fits and looks much better.
I just took my daughter to get her ears pierced here recently. It was such a great experience. Denise put my daughter right at ease and explained everything with kindness and professionalism. Everyone in the shop was friendly and helpful. Would for sure recommend for anyone looking for a positive piercing experience.
I got a tattoo done by Danny and it was amazing! They were super sanitary, it was quick and easy. The Tattoo looks amazing! Would highly recommend inksmiths to everyone!
Denice is absolutely awesome. Professional, expert advice, extremely knowledgeable, the highest quality jewelry. Definitely the best piercer in the business. I love my rose gold nose ring it’s perfect thank you Denice.
What an amazing shop. Kevin made a good tattoo i had great! It now has dimensions and looks perfect. The shop is clean and everyone is so nice. I recomend this place to everyone, even my mom.
I love InkSmith! I get all my tattoos and piercings here! Danny is always really nice and clean and getting my tattoos have all been a blast! I would highly recommend getting a Tattoo by Danny or Kevin. They both do amazing work and are always very welcoming. Jacie pierced my septum and she was extremely friendly and clean! Love InkSmith!
New to the area, so I’ve been having a tough time finding quality body jewelry. I called ahead and their staff was able to confirm over the phone that they had what I was looking for. Price was good. Service was good. Would recommend.
Danny is the man! Amy was great too. Great vibes and righteous music playing. Stay grateful yall!
Very friendly and professional joint. Did everything to accommodate my daughter and myself for her first tattoo.We will definitely return for more work.
Great place to go for piercings
Got my lip pierced by Jaycie Lee here.The place is super clean and everyones really professional, definitely going back for future piercings
My tattoo experience here has been the best out of all my tattoos
I have known Kevin and Denice for over 15 years and only come here for my piercings!! Kevin is also an amazing tattoo artist!! They make you feel so welcome and the atmosphere makes you feel warm and welcome.
Had work done here multiple times and highly recommend them, especially Daniel Argote.
I’ve been here 3 times in the past couple years. I got my nose stud pierced by Denice, my septum piercing by Jaycie, and a tattoo from Danny. Staff are very kind and respectful! Each time I’ve gone in I’ve had a pleasant experience and left satisfied. Would definitely recommend!
I got some amazing tattoo work done by Danny and couldnt be happier! Cant wait for my shading session! The whole crew there is super friendly and welcoming!
I scheduled out my tattoo with an artist by the name of Daniel Argote and i was completely disappointed with the process of getting it done. Our original conversation entailed getting a couple sketches of the art work prior to getting me tattoo, Unfortunately things took a turn south because Daniel was very unprofessional about the promise he held with me. I had my tattoo arranged to be done a week in advance and he didnt get back to me with any sketches of the work i wanted done throughout the entire week. He basically thought he was going to get away with drawing me something last minute and call it good. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. YOU WILL WASTE YOUR TIME AND DEPOSIT MONEY. THEY ARE LOOKING TO SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY DEPENDING ON WHETHER THEY LIKE YOU OR NOT BY THE TIME YOU LEAVE THERE SHOP FOR A CONSULTATION.
The entire staff is so friendly and welcoming.Danny. Unbelievable. Everything he does turns out beautiful and he will always be my go to guy
Professional best in Colorado
Ink Smith is the best piercing and tattoo studio I have EVER been to!! They are so clean and every single person there is so kind hearted and just amazing! I have gone here for all of my piercing and tattoo needs and I recommend them a thousand percent! They are the best ever and such amazing artists!!!
Denise and her tandem piercing partner were great with my daughter. They were clean, explained things to a 3 years old well, and they were quick. Overall I am satisfied with the choice I made. I was in and out in 10 minutes. No tears from my daughter. Couldnt be happier.
I’ve lived in the area for a long time and finally got around to popping in this place last week for a small tattoo and some piercings. Their Covid protocol was excellent, and the staff was very professional regarding Covid and otherwise. I saw a maybe questionable review about the prices Inksmith charges, but it’s a tattoo shop. If you want somewhere with a $30 tattoo minimum, this is not your place. Having said that, I don’t think any place should be charging less than Inksmith. I think the prices are VERY reasonable, and they do a great job. Staff is very warm and friendly, and honestly I just don’t have anything bad to say about my experience. Thanks, guys! A true treasure of the area.
Ive been to Inksmith for tattoos and piercings and each experience has been wonderful. Kaitlin did 2 of my tattoos and she is amazing! I went to see Jaycie for my nose piercing and she was so helpful and awesome! I would recommend going here.
Got my first tattoo by Danny and i couldnt have asked for a better experience, everyone was so kind and accommodating and i absolutely love how my tattoo turned out. Thanks guys !
Daughter got her ears pierced here. They were great she didnt cry or anything. Would highly recommend
We would not recommend this place if you are looking for a customer friendly environment. We did not feel well taken care of and when we addressed our frustrations we were met with hostile attitude from one of the owners. Instead of communicating and asking how they could potentially address our concerns we were told we were incompetent customers and they didn’t want our business. While reading other reviews many people enjoy their services so I have no doubt they can do a great job (one of the reasons we wanted to go there in the first place) but we did not enjoy our interactions or experience with this place.
Jarrod Ray, gave me my tattoo and I could not be more happy! I told him a few things I wanted in my tattoo and he completely handcrafted his own original piece that I love! He was great at conversation, but didnt talk too much (a PERFECT mix). The service is friendly, and I 10/10 recommend!
Love it! Clean! Polite! Friendly! Thx!
I just had my septum pierced here by Jaycie. It was an amazing experience. She was very nice and explained every step of the process to me. Everything was very clean and the prices are very reasonable. The whole experience was positive and I would definitely recommend anyone to get their piercings done at Inksmith.
Danny Argote is the best! He is so creative and talented. he takes any idea I have and transforms it into a masterpiece. I live in FL and have traveled to get tattooed by him. Inksmith is such a clean, comfortable shop - you just feel right at home. Denice pierced my nose and matched it perfectly to my other piercing. Her selection of jewelry is so beautiful and unique. Can’t wait to go back!
Kevin was my tattoo artist and was fantastic! He listened to what I wanted and drafted up a fantastic design for me. I will definitely be returning to Kevin for future tattoos
I had a really negative experience at Inksmith. I do not recommend anybody come here, rather, I implore you to find somewhere with work that’s just as good if not better, but with staff that’ll actually treat you like a human being? because you won’t get that here.I had been browsing around different tattoo parlors, and liked the work I saw on Inksmith’s google review photos. Against my better judgment, I made an appointment with them despite the many negative reviews I saw detailing how bad they treat people and their lack of punctuality. Not to mention how unprofessional it is for them to argue back with people leaving them constructive criticism.I made an appt for a consultation on Tuesday, Dec 1st at 3pm. fun fact my appointment was randomly changed to 3:30 which I did not want but did not complain about. So fast forward to the first, I show up at 3:30 with my ID in hand. The door is locked, so I tell the woman inside (through the door) that I’m here for the 3:30 appointment. She points at their telephone number, but my phone was dead, so I let her know and I repeat once again that I am here for the appointment at 03:30. I mean how many could you have right? so she... disappears? and I’m waiting, and waiting. mind you there’s nobody inside but the tattoo artist and who he’s finishing up with. there is nobody. else. inside. through the mail slot, I said “hey I’m very cold, think I could come inside, I’m here for my appointment,” etc. and he just looks at me and ignores me lol. Great start. When the woman comes back she goes right to her desk. At this point it’s like 3:35 and I was starting to get annoyed at how they’re just leaving me to stand outside, so again through the mail slot I said “since we’re cutting into my time should I reschedule?” finally she comes out, but then she is rude upon coming out, telling me THEY are the ones doing ME a favor about the piercing I called freaking out about, and I’m like ?? lady i have no idea what you’re talking about that is not me.. I’m here for a consult abt a sleeve.I said, calmly, that there are many Tattoo places around (to which she couldn’t help herself but cut me off to say that I should go there instead).. I’m like please don’t interrupt me.. there are many tattoo places around but I came here because I like the work I saw online, but I think it’s really distasteful and impersonal to keep someone standing outside in 30 degree weather, not even letting them know what’s going on, when they are planning on spending their money here. but she just kept arguing with me so I told her no problem I’ll go elsewhere. she couldn’t even leave it at that either, she had to let out a sarcastic snarky *bYe* as I’m walking away lol just overall a very childish interaction.really nasty experience overall, don’t recommend in the slightest. thinking about coming here? DON’T.
We had a great experience here piercing my daughters ears. My 8 yr. old has been wearing stick on earrings for weeks, yet was very nervous about actually getting them pierced. She is also shy, but Denise talked to her and asked her questions and made the whole thing less scary. Mari said it hurt less than she thought it would and is in love with the little star earrings she chose. I also liked how clear and comprehensive the after care instructions were.
Jaycie is one of the best piercers I have ever gone to. She was extremely gentle and amazing at what she does! I highly recommend this place.
