Review of Electric Crayon Tattoo Co.
Electric Crayon Tattoo Co. is a tattoo and body piercing shop located in Aurora, Colorado. The shop offers a range of tattoo and piercing services, including custom designs and cover-ups. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere and is staffed by experienced tattoo artists and piercers.
The shop has received mixed reviews from customers. Some customers have praised the shop for its talented artists and quality work. One customer mentioned that they have been getting tattoos from Steve Smith since 2014 and hold the shop and Steve in a special place in their heart. They also mentioned that the shop has clean lines, beautiful work, and great vibes. Another customer praised Bri for being an amazing piercer who is kind and helpful.
However, other customers have had negative experiences at the shop. One customer mentioned that they received a sloppy and almost unreadable tattoo from Steve after being told it would take between 2-3 hours. They felt that Steve didn't care about their piece because it wasn't his original art. Another customer mentioned that they had a poor experience with their nose and daith piercings. They felt that the piercer didn't talk them through the daith piercing and their ear canal immediately filled with blood. They also mentioned that the shop recommended washing the piercings with soap on q-tips, which caused the skin around both piercings to become extremely dry and their piercings don't feel clean at all.
The shop's prices have also been a point of contention for some customers. One customer mentioned that they felt they were taken advantage of because they came in as a walk-in and were charged $250 for a tattoo that took less than an hour. Another customer mentioned that they felt the shop was overpriced for the work they received.
Overall, Electric Crayon Tattoo Co. has a range of talented artists and piercers, but customers should be aware of the mixed reviews and pricing concerns before choosing to get a tattoo or piercing at the shop.

I went to get a tattoo with my boyfriend. We went in as walk ins. We both got our tattoos done by James. And his work is amazing. Not only is he very professional and kind. He takes his work serious and takes pride in it as well. He is very experienced and you can tell by his tattoo quality. He was very patient with regards of our tattoo size and answered all of our questions. This is by far my favorite tattoo. I would definitely recommend getting your tattoo here. We will be definitely going back.

I called inquiring about a walk in and explained that while I had gotten one half of a tattoo done (two separate dates), I hadn't gotten the other half. I had a stencil and everything. Joel was very professional about getting me in and out quickly while still doing a fantastic job, and he even touched up the first half that I had gotten years ago, all of this at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this place to others and I will be coming back!

The establishment is amazing do not get me wrong. The piercer in the shop who goes by Bri, is terrible. She is very unsanitary and unprofessional. I watched her give my friend a piercing on a Saturday. One that generally should not hurt, and she had my friend in tears and my friend pain tolerance is very high. The after care instructions were total trash we knew from experience of having so many piercings. My friend also took that piercing out because as we suspected it was done wrong. I do not recommend anyone to go to her and I also feel she should be fired and not have anyone else go through this.

This place is great. It's clean, professional and the staff is friendly. Zach explained everything he did and triple checked my design to make sure I was getting what I wanted. He made sure I know everything was sterile and clean. He was friendly and talkative while he worked. He went over the take home instructions in detailed and encouraged me to call if I had any questions or concerns. This is my first tattoo but I felt very comfortable. Highly recommended!

Went to see Carli to get a piece done on the forearm and she was perfect! Amazing shading, straight lines, and an amazingly light hand.

Had big Steve tattoo my son so long story short followed the rules it got infected came right back to ask him about it he said it wasn't infected we went to the ER of course it was infected came back to ask what they do for this type of situation u would think since I paid a $50 deposit for an appointment time he was late for and 250 for an infected tattoo he would be concerned he was not and said they do nothing I asked for a copy of the contract he refused which is illegal they are unprofessional and nasty don't get ink here

This shop is top notch. The artists are friendly and very professional. Brady is a outstanding tattooist and I will definitely be back. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking to get inked their prices are fair and the art is phenomenal. If I could give 10 stars I would.

went in to get my septum with a few friends. when getting the piercing, it hurt really bad. like so bad. the piercing was extremely low, and out of obvious concern i went to a different place because of how bad it was. turns out, bri (the piercer) went STRAIGHT through my nose cartilage. not even close to touching the actual part where your septum is supposed to go. out of curiousity my other friends wanted to make sure their piercing was in the right place. they weren’t! although closer to the actual spot they were still touching cartilage. don’t go here.

I got my industrial piercing done over a month ago and noticed a few weeks after that there were bumps starting to form. Javi pierced my ear and recommended an aspirin rinse treatment. I tried that but the bumps got worse. Had another piercer take a look and said it had to be taken out due to the placement of the piercing. Ended up taking the bar out and my ear is healing great with the bumps going away as well. Tried to message Electric Crayon to see if we would be able to resolve the issue, but I never got a message back either. Very disappointed since I usually go to Johnny to get tattoos done.

Definitely recommend Javi for all your piercing needs!! Found him by chance and he has become my go too for all my piercing needs. Very nice, patient and knowledgeable of his work. He’s done like two or three of my piercings and we are not done yet.! 10/10!!
