Certified Tattoo Studios

Went to the Colorado Springs location and had a great experience with Danny Black. He did an excellent job with my tattoo and turned my inspiration photo into a work of art! Overall great experience. Looking forward to the next one.

I found John Saint through word of mouth after seeing his finished work on strangers. Saint touched up a black & white death wings and added some old english lettering. He's got a very soft hand and it came out gangster! The shop is way nice too. each artist has their own room so you get plenty of privacy. I'll be back for more!

Amazing tattoo studio! I decided to get my first tattoo here (a small colored flower bouquet on my ankle) and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Jacquelyn is an incredibly talented artist and does such a good job at offering a calm and professional atmosphere. She was very attentive to my requests and made the design confirmation process so easy, yet also made sure to remain clear and specific throughout every step. She did an amazing job at combining the two reference photos that I showed her I had in mind for my tattoo, and created a beautiful result. I absolutely love it!! Everyone I encountered at the studio throughout the process was very welcoming, supportive, kind, and professional. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a stellar service experience and attentive, talented staff. I’ll definitely be back in the future! 100/10!

It was a rocky start of the process but when everything got sorted I am more than satisfied. Tattoos are very personal and I am picky about artists. John Saint is the man!! He was as excited about doing the tat as I was about getting it. I will be back!!

Mike pierced my upper lobes (3rd hole) and he did a great job!! He took his time, made sure they were going in the right places, and was very clean. I felt very comfortable and felt confident in his abilities. He also talked with me about the forward helix piercings I want, suggesting I only do the 2 piercings today instead of trying to do 3. I highly recommend Mike and plan on coming back for my helix once these are healed.

I got my nose pierced by Mike and it was such a good experience. I’m a very indecisive person and something like picking out which piercing I want can be very anxiety inducing for me (feeling like I need to hurry up and choose but also wanting to pick something I like). Mike made sure I saw every possible option and that I felt 100% confident with it. The whole experience was smooth and easy and Mike has a very calming presence. My mom decided on a whim that she wanted an eyebrow piercing and Mike was very sweet and supportive about doing her piercing too and last minute. There was a beautiful selection of piercings to choose from too! My mom and I are definitely coming back soon :)

Update: I started to feel like the stud I chose wasn’t fitting my vibe and wanted to change it out. I reached out to Mike on instagram and he told me to come in in two days, he fit me in and had a stud that matched exactly what I wanted. It took less than 5 minutes and he was nothing but kind.

Fantastic service at a great price! I went in yesterday with cartilage piercings that were suffocating my ear - they were able to fit me in day of and swap them out in an efficient manner. Their prices were incredible for my rose gold hoops (roughly $40/earring) compared to places I've been to in Denver that charge $60-120 (Sol Tribe) for a single earring. Same quality grade and better service - highly recommend.

I chose certified studio because I have gone there in the past and I like their professionalism and their thorough vetting of artists. I got a large tattoo by John Saint yesterday. He did a fantastic job. He made a sick design, worked quickly and did the tattoo on a Sunday night to work around my work schedule. I will be going back for more as soon as I can. 10/10 would recommend.

*** After leaving this review the owner from Denver kindly reached out to hear my concern and was very kind to refund me. Hopefully this will not be an issue for others in the future :) She sounded genuinely concerned and apologetic so it was nice to know she cared in making other’s experiences better.
I have had some frustrating experiences with this location. I had gotten my septum jewelry changed as well as a removal of helix piercing jewelry which they pierced. Both times I encountered charges which were significantly higher than I was told at the beginning. I am mostly very frustrated with my piercing removal. It was a piercing that was done poorly and not done straight. The piercing exited extremely close to an existing piercing and did not allow it to heal well with the jewelry put in place. After months of trying to get the jewelry out I was unable to. When I went back to them to take it out I was told it would be $10. After they finally got it out they threw away the jewelry I had paid for when I originally pierced it without informing me. I was then met with a $20 charge without explanation. I will say they have great jewelry to purchase here but overall have been very disappointed with my experience.

Mike pierced by septum and industrial. He made the entire experience as comfortable as possible and made sure I knew everything I needed to know about aftercare. The entire staff was friendly and personable. I’m looking forward to going back to swap out jewelry when I’m ready. They have an incredible collection! I was very pleased with the selection so I didn’t have to get a giant stainless septum ring.
