Tribal Rites Tattoo & Piercing

My husband and I were both walk in tattoos, and Tommy (who did my husband's tattoo) and Amanda (who did mine) were both so helpful, friendly, and amazing artists. We were in and out in about 2hrs. The work done is absolutely amazing. The next time we come to Boulder, we'll be visiting them again.

The best tattoo experience that I have ever had! I walked in as a walk in client. They were super easy to talk to and the environment was super comfortable. After talking for a bit and I had told them I had 16 tattoos in total, they asked to see all of them and then I showed them a really poorly done peace sign on the back of my neck that I knew was bad but all my friends kept assuring me that it wasn’t as bad as I thought. They made me feel less crazy by saying that it was a really poorly done tattoo & that they would do everything that they could to fix it. I was almost in tears by the time that I had looked at the fixed tattoo because it was SO incredible how Andrew managed to fix it. So not only did they fix the worst tattoo I’ve ever had and made it exactly what I wanted in the first place, Andrew also gave me the most amazing tattoo of a few mountains and matched it exactly to the style I like and kept it consistent with the style of my other tattoos. I HIGHLY recommend Tribal Rites tattoo shop.

A group of us scheduled memorial tattoos for a dearly departed sister. The guys at Tribal Rites did a great job and were professional, especially dealing with covid precautions. I love my tattoo and highly recommend this location.

This was my second attempt with this shop and dear god it’s always been a let down. As someone who has multiple tattoos already, I had a friend recommend Amanda and when going in to talk and collaborate on my tattoo I got resistance, not just resistance but it felt like even after me showing her photos there was a lack of actually wanting to do it. I figured it was we aren’t on the same page kind of deal so in hopes it would work out I held a spot.... well I just happened to find an artist who was way more confident in what I was wanting and was wanting to collaborate.... two days before my tattoo Amanda was informed I wasn’t going to be coming in and I may not get my Deposit back even though there was two days notice. I wasn’t sure if I was going to the right artist or not as all my original artists have left Denver. So I gave it a try as others have recommended her but alas lots of resistanc and a lack of collaboration is what made me switch.... me finding someone who was stepping forward with the best foot is important and I know I am at fault of even holding a spot but she was highly recommended by a dear friend. I truly believe tattoo artist should collaborate and step outside their zones some times and I was def let down. I have high standards so maybe that’s part of it but being a massage therapist who understands this kind of trade and money I get it but don’t just take my money when you may not feel confident or aren’t going to put forth your best foot.

I just started my sleeve, I've been working with Tommy, and I would highly recommend anyone interested in getting a tattoo to come see him. Very knowledgeable great to work with and he does great work. As does the rest of the tribal rites artists. I Highly recommended them if you are looking for a tattoo or piercings.

I appreciate the patience & expertise of the staff, but I wasn't asked about piercing placement (I didn't even realize we had moved from marker to needle) and I've ended up wasting time and money on a piercing with a placement I don't like :/ if you go here, make sure you ask before you get marked, I guess.

*Update. Ended up unable to be ok with the piercing, went somewhere reputable to get it taken out. Weirdly enough it just felt wrong to have a body mod that I felt I had my say taken away from. Your piercer should ALWAYS ask, people

My girlfriend and I came in as walk-ins on a Sunday, and Carlos fit us in to his schedule and even stayed late. He was very courteous, knowledgeable in helping us develop our ideas, and he executed the work fantastically. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much Carlos.

P.S. Great recommendation on the post-tattoo meal (Cosmos Pizza)

Tribal rites was a great place for first tattoo. Tommy worked with me to figure out the perfect design and was a great partner in the process (and an overall chill dude). Tattoo was finished no more than a couple hours after my consultation

I’ve been to the boulder one and Westminster location and the staff at both locations are always so nice. I’ve done all my piercings through them and will come back anytime I need to get something done.

I went into the store with a friend to get a price quote on the tattoos that we wanted. We were really excited, but as soon as we walked in the guy we spoke with was very offputting. He was slumped over and was more concerned about eating his orange than answering our questions. When we asked how long it would take he told us that it would be "quick" and then got even more annoyed when we clarified if that meant 5 minutes or 30 minutes. We left the shop not only feeling like our business was unwanted, but feeling like we didn't want to get our tattoos at Tribal Rites anymore.
