Claw and Talon Tattoo

First- Justin was amazing. Clean, knowledgeable, professional and some of the cleanest line work I've ever seen.
Second- Amazing pricing. Other shops wuoted me 40 to 60 more for the piece I wanted.
Third- Respectful team. I felt comfortable and relaxed and excited.
Highly suggest this place

I absolutely love Claw and Talon. I wish I could give it more than five stars, because it has earned a thousand in my book. Vinny was the artist I worked with most recently, but everyone in the shop is fantastic. Sam and Chelsea were so kind, and made conversation even though I wasn't their client this time. They both do very excellent work, but Vinny's personal style was what l was looking for in this particular piece. My latest piece was a cover up of several scars on my forearm. I've been embarrassed to wear anything but long sleeves for a long time, until Vinny helped me. I came into the shop at noon, and even though he was busy he drew the tattoo and got me in that night, working late to do the outline. While I was being tattooed Vinny let me sit how I was most comfortable (even if it would have been easier to have me sit a certain way). I spent my two hours chatting with Vinny and Sam, who made me feel totally welcome. The piece I have now is not done yet, but it looks incredible. Even with out the color to finish it yet, the art draws the eye away from the horrible scars I have. The crisp lines of my flowers are exactly the look I want. They are beautiful and feminine, and I feel like I can proudly show off my art work in a girly outfit instead of having people ask about the scars. Vinny helped me not only move on, but erase a chapter in my life that is not a part of who I am. He gave me something I can proudly show off to anyone. The shop is clean, with a warm atmosphere. Whichever artist you work with will give you a terrific tattoo, at a good price, with an environment that you don't find often. Thank you so much to the wonderful artists of Claw and Talon, especially Vinny! I will always come here, and recommend it to everyone I know. I can't say it enough, THANK YOU CLAW AND TALON!

Good prices. Doing COVID well enough. Lindsey did a great job and I will 100% be back to see her again. Their prices seem fair and they are quick to respond for appointments.

Called two days in advance to get a small quote done on my hip. I am not new to getting tattooed and wanted something small done, here in Boulder. Professional, quick and cleanly. I only had a small quote done, but from what I can tell, these guys are all very talented artists. I am very happy with how it turned out and will probably return here again in the future to get more!

I’ll say first that the artists in the shop were very down to earth and I felt like we got along really well right off the bat. I came in to just get some background/negative space filled in on my sleeve. I don’t even know what say. I’m planning on going somewhere else ASAP, hopefully find a better artist that can either salvage this or just black the whole section out as a cover-up piece. I hate to say this because the guy that tattooed me was a really likable guy, but after about 45 minutes in I realized that he was not a competent tattoo artist. He was very receptive to working with me, spending more time to blend colors and focus on details as we saw fit, very personable. But at the end of the day there was no real artistic talent or intuition from either of the guys there. The women next to me got a tattoo on her leg and did not seem excited about it.
This was an overall disappointing experience for me. I will not be returning. I honestly don’t think this is the place you want to have someone permanently draw on your body unless you’re a cheap college student and don’t care about making mistakes yet.
Cheap prices tho >.<

EDIT: I am the last person who wants to have to update this review, but I think it's necessary. It's been a month since I went to Claw and Talon and since have spoke with 3 other artists about fixing the tattoo I got here. All of them said I had significant scarring down my arm and one of them even knew the owner of the shop (the guy who tattooed me...) and said he should not be tattooing people. I sincerely agree. I have to wait at least 3-6 months to allow the scarring to hopefully heal.
If you want a small simple pre-sketched design I'm assuming this shop could help you, but my suggestion would be to look elsewhere. Sorry for the long post, I'm done now.

EDIT: Ok Vinny, here is one picture demonstrating the scarring still present after months (with applying vitamin E oil everyday). Please note that I just wanted to fill in the space between the owl and mandala tattoo. The poor shading and scarring alone is what was done here.

Wes was very friendly, thorough, and artistic! I would definitely come back to this place, everybody was friendly!! Cool vibe & great work, thank you Wes!!!

I've been tattooed by Morgan three times. Two walk ins, one planned. She's so easy to work with and will adapt her tattooing style to give you what you want but still add her own beautiful flair. You'll get a wonderful work of art and hang out with a wonderful lady!

I had a intense touch up on a beautiful piece, the touch up done by Vinnie. I can't blame him, only myself for not choosing the right artist. But I do wish he'd been like, "I'm not that talented, maybe you should go somewhere else." Instead of just going ahead and doing mediocre work.

Got my tattoo done by Mark Schwartzman, my second done by him at this shop. INCREDIBLE WORK. I was beyond happy with the results, it looks superb. Super friendly shop, easy going and very professional. Mark did an incredible job and I could not recommend this place any more!

Awful experience. I made an appointment with Nate 5 days in advance, and gave a $20 deposit. Not even 24 hours later I had a flight change that conflicted with the appointment, and had to cancel. I came in right away, and still with over 72 hours notice asked for my deposit back. Nate NEVER told me that this deposit was non-refundable, and was extremely rude and patronizing about the situation. He refused to give me my $20 back, claiming this out of the blue policy of non-refundable deposits. It was obvious he had pocketed and spent my money, and was unable to give it back in that moment. Please send $20 to my Venmo account @margaretlewis , I will delete this post.
