Tribal Rites Tattoo & Piercing

I was a walk-in customer and Tawfaz did amazing and walked me through the whole process! Super reasonable prices and great environment! This is my second tattoo and my biggest one! So happy I went here!

DO NOT GET A TATTOO HERE.

My friends and I called ahead to see if they had openings for the day and they told us to come in, so we did. Each of us were getting small tattoos so they said they could get it done in 2 hours before the artists next appointment. After 2.5 hours of stenciling and the artist spending more time talking to their co-workers, we started placing the stencils. The artist was adamant that two of us should not get the designs on our arms, so the placement was changed to the back of the neck - in the moment, we trusted his recommendation. He had the two neck tattoos lay face down on the table instead of doing it standing up... End result - The two pieces DO NOT look like the stencils AT ALL. They are completely disformed and WAY too much ink was used. First of all the shape is incorrect, but now the tattoo lines are bleeding into one another. He also mentioned being high to the receptionist when tatting the last person? NOT OKAY AT ALL. Lastly, he bandaged one of the neck tats up before we could see it.

We gave the shop a call and they blamed it on us "moving" and not sitting still which was not the case at all. All of us have multiple tattoos and know the drill. They said there was nothing they can do and it was our choice to do them and to give it two weeks / were very rude on the phone.

Fast forward 8 days - We all went to different tattoo artists just to take a look and hopefully provide comfort, however not the case. High level feedback from the new artists were: 1 Back of the neck tats should not be done laying down. 2 A significant amount of extra ink was used and the needle was pushed too deep in the skin. 3 We are better off scratching at / picking off the tattoos as they heal for any chance of being able to cover it up because the lines are too heavy.

Overall, extremely disappointed and would never recommend this place to anyone. We were denied a refund or any kind of help for these disasters.

Got my septum pierced by Mo and I love it, she was very professional and had a great kick back vibe, took all the nerves away with confident reassurance. I look soo cute!! I was in a really bad mood walking in, and left in the best mood ever.

I've gotten several piercings and Tatts here, they're the only place on the hill I trust. I got a big spine piece and my artist Kenny was so patient since it was my first big one. He did a super clean job and I couldn't be happier with it!

Came here for a basic earlobe piercing, and received great service and results! Mo was a great help, and did great work. Will definitely recommend, and reach out whenever in need of more work.

I went in to get a tattoo with Taphas on my wrist. The tattoo is fully healed now and is patchy, too deep in some places, not deep enough in others to where it’s already fading. I went to a different place to get it covered and my new artist said it would be illegible in 2 months.

My sister and I are in town from NY and we wanted to get matching tattoos. We both have other tattoos and have a very high standard as to who we let put ink on our body. Right when we walked in the door we knew it was a good place, VERY clean and other tattoo artists and the front desk staff were awesome. Nate was AMAZING. Considering booking a trip back to finish my half sleeve with him. Alot of times people just tattoo for the money but his passion is unbelievable. To anyone in COLORADO or anywhere looking to get tattooed I would recommend Nate over and over. He made us so comfortable. Stayed late with us and made sure everything was perfect. He is very easy going but will make sure you get exactly what you want. He sat down with us and really listened to what we desired. Thank you so much Nate, good luck to you and everyone else in that shop. Hope to see you all soon!!!

I absolutely love Tribal Rites! I went in to get my first ever tattoos on both wrists and loved the entire experience from start to finish, Everyone there was super kind, laidback, supportive, and professional. Zac (the artist) is absolutely incredible at his work and creates beautiful artworks, I couldn’t be happier! Special shout-out to Zac, Lacy, and Ben! I absolutely recommend Tribal Rites to anyone (both newcomers and experienced veterans) looking for a Grade A tattoo to go to Tribal Rites! I promise you will not be disappointed. Thanks again guys! Much love ✌️😊

Just got another two amazing artworks from my friend Kenny at Tribal Rites, he is Amazing! From start to finish I barely felt a thing! And I am beyond words for how much I love my new additions! Kenny is THE guy to go to if you’re interested in getting some fresh ink, incredibly professional, kind, courteous, and has a Midas touch, I barely felt these additions due to Kenny’s expert hand. Thank you Kenny!! Couldn’t be more grateful and proud to have your work on me man! Much love to everyone at the shop! ❤️☮️😊

Got some fresh ink from Cres at the shop! He absolutely nailed the design and the intricate coloring! I couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for this artists work! He’s absolutely fantastic and he’s just one of the many artists that I’d absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo. Thank you Cres!! I’m so happy with this ink!! 😁🙌

Got a couple small tattoos from Taphas, super sweet guy, amazing linework, just overall an awesome experience!

I went in on a Monday evening to try to get a few new pieces of body jewelry before leaving for a trip. Tribal rites is always a little more expensive than I expect but, I'm always happy to pay for a good service and convenience. I didn't have time to get any jewelry before my trip online so I stopped in assuming I could get something. I stood in the lobby for ten minutes without even being greeted or acknowledged. The employees seemed more interested in chatting with each other than helping a customer. My partner and I were there for at least five pieces of jewelry and would have happily spent our money in this store. I've had a few mixed experiences before however this will be my last visit. They will not get my business again.
