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 got my ears pierced (four lobe piercings) here a little over a month ago. I was having a lot of issues with my piercings being infected and painful, and when I reached out they never responded. The piercer was awesome, I passed out while he was working on me and he was so gentle (I wish I could remember his name but he was the dreadlocked dude with a ton of cool tattoos, a veteran I think. He rocks.). But the tattoo artists weren't wearing masks and there were quite a few of them in there. I think that should be a requirement for a place that involves open skin and bodily fluids during a pandemic but thats just me.

Was a wonderful experience. Highly knowledgeable, they were able to handle our walk in requests. Alex was patient and helped each of us make sure our tattoos we're perfect and placed correctly. Clean, professional, and will definitely be there again! Thanks guys!

I made an appt here so my wife could get some piercings and Javi did an amazing job, quick and proficient. Very friendly people and really good shop overall. If you want good piercings this is the place to go to.

I came here a few months ago to get a very simple tattoo. Unfortunately the artist, Steve I believe, rushed through my tattoo entirely. I’m now having to go get a touch up because he rushed through the lines so there are empty spaces in between them. Would have just gone somewhere that would have done it right the first time and save myself some money.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Tried to get a simple tattoo with Steve. Paid my deposit, paid my babysitter, drove out of my way, showed up at my scheduled time, waited and waited. Was told he was next door by many of his co-workers and then after waiting a half an hour, was told he had an emergency and they told me he would call me back to reschedule. After I left, I noticed next door was a bar. I am only to assume that he was drinking before a scheduled job. That didnt sit will with me. I tried contacting him several times (left name and number with three different staff members telling me he would call back) to reschedule and, after two weeks, never got a phone call back nor an email. Basically, Steve just robbed me. Took my deposit and ran. The facility was in wonderful condition and looked clean. The other staff was very friendly, however, I would tell anyone and everyone not to work with Steve - EVER!!! Waste of time, money, and effort!! If you want a great experience with wonderful communicative people, head over to Lady Luck in Aurora.

This is a great tattoo shop with some awesome artists. I wont go anywhere else ever again. The artists really take there time to create something that you are gonna want on your body forever. I would recommend that if you plan on going you make an appointment as they do get busy.

Great place to get tattoo!!! Johnny did a amazing job, I got a custom tattoo on my wrist and he redid the color on my foot tattoo. I had made an appointment, talked about what I was looking for. Made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Thank you so much Johnny I am so happy with them!!!!

HANDS DOWN the best shop in aurora . I got my family crest on the outside of my arm and Antonio the dude from Bolivia did it and the color is really bright and vibrant and he's fun to chat with. He has ranked number two in Bolivia county competitions and conventions . Their piercer is also one of the top ranked in Denver. Every artist there has a lot of talent and experience Id recommend it fo4$urr

I went to Electric Crayon Tattoo Co. for my nose piercing a couple years ago. I was super nervous cause a lady that pierced me in a shop in Lakewood did a horrible job, and left me traumatized. Long story short I was supposed to be pierced by a gal at Electric Crayon, but turns out she was busy at the moment so luckily I got the chance to meet an awesome guy named Javi ! He was Apprenticing at the time and for some reason his vibe came off super comfortable and professional and I just knew I was in great hands . My nose healed amazing an I can take my ring out without worrying about it closing on me. I recently visited Javi again to do my Medusa and let me tell you he once again KILLED IT ! Javi is beyond professional and so light handed. Very sterilized and very knowledgeable about what he is doing. The staff is beyond amazing at this location EVERYONE needs to check them out !!!!!!
