Black Sage Studio

Had a piece done yesterday by Cody Awn- he is such a dope artist. He incorporated multiple sizes of needles for different detailed elements and was pretty gentle even with some dark shaded areas. The studio is in a gorgeous location and is clean and a nice layout with the individual rooms. Wish I found this place sooner- but already booked my next session 😃

Nathan Adler has been wonderful to work with. His art work and tattoo skills are the best in Colorado. The shop is in a beautiful location. And every other artist there has been very respectful. The work that I personally see from other artists in the shop is always great quality.

So grateful to Jim, for making a somewhat unpleasant, albeit brief experience a pleasure! I love taking a short scenic trip once a month to enjoy conversation and to get rid of my old tattoo mistakes. I can’t wait to get my coverup from Melis! Thank you so much! ⚡️ goodbye to “supposed to bee” & hello to “used to bee”

Jim is WONDERFUL!! He’s so open and honest about the whole process, answering any and all questions! Right after my consultation I was able to start the process of my removal, same day. The office is clean and professional. I’m happy to have found this place!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Black Sage is THE BEST tattoo shop I've seen or stepped foot into. Bonus that it's located in a beautiful area in the foothills of Colorado. It's clean and bright, the artist's artwork on the walls are fantastic, and each and every artist is extremely professional and super friendly. I have seen all of their work, they all have different styles, and their talent is absolutely top-notch. I've been going to the shop since Aug. 2021 as Cody Awn has been tattooing a full color, full sleeve for me. The style I chose for my sleeve doesn't necessarily fit perfectly into the style that Cody typically does, but he's taken all of my ideas and implemented them into his own design. His linework, colorwork, placement, light handedness...all are what make him incredibly talented and great to work with. I also had no hesitation entrusting him to tattoo a tribute tattoo on my 18-year-old daughter for her first tattoo!

Black Sage Studio is the best for your laser needs! I love that the consult for your laser treatment is free. You can meet the laser specialist, Jim, who is professional and friendly, and make your decision whether or not treatment starts that day. I started my treatment same day and am well on my way towards my laser goals. I even added more tattoos to remove/lighten, after receiving feedback from a laser perspective, about covering up/adding colour to brighten my sleeve. I love the laser machine they use; it can specifically remove certain colours without damaging surrounding tattoo colouring. They offer a numbing cream too, if the pain is unbearable. Jim, is well educated with the laser machine and tattoo removal. I have never had a skin reaction. Thorough post op instructions are given after your first laser treatment and Jim is available if you have questions after treatment. I always look forward to my appointments at Black Sage Studio and am looking forward to feeling good in my own skin again after my laser treatment is finished. I love their motto- Keep the tattoos you love and remove the ones you don’t! Simple and non judgemental. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! If you are on the fence about getting laser, I would hop off and book your consult appointment; you won’t be disappointed. It was the best decision I made for my skin!

I have no intentions of getting tattooed anywhere else again. I absolutely love Black Sage. Beautiful location, studio design is awesome and the talent level of the artists is incredible! I have worked with Cody Awn for a few years now and I hope to never work with another artist! He is incredibly talented, creative and just a solid dude to boot! Our sessions fly by because he is so personable and easy going! I have had to push/reschedule on him in the past and he his only concerns where my and my family's well being nothing else. I recommend Black Sage to anyone and everyone looking to get ink!

Have to start by saying I won an Instagram contest (didn’t think that was a thing, either!). I was flown out to Evergreen and treated like a celebrity. I was guided through the process by Melissa and Sharon, her apprentice, and sat for 7.5 hours that I wish would have lasted another day. It was such a great experience, and I will gladly pay my own way to get back out there for more gorgeous ink! You will be very happy if you make an appointment at Black Sage! Cheers!

Incredible shop and home to some of the best artists around. Melis is wonderful and makes me feel more comfortable during my tattoo than any other artist I've been to. Her attention to detail is superb and one thing I especially appreciate is her honesty about whether an idea will work properly or not. Some artists will just take your money and tattoo anything but she is truly about the craft and creating a beautiful one of a kind piece. I could go on for awhile but seriously this shop is top tier and if you're considering any shop I HIGHLY recommend Black Sage Studio. I will definitely be back.

I cannot recommend this studio highly enough. When you walk in you're greeted with a clean, professional, and welcoming atmosphere. There are private spaces for each artist/client, but the shop maintains a wonderfully collaborative environment where the artists exchange opinions and get input from one another about placement, flow, etc so the clients get nothing short of an amazing tattoo. I've had the pleasure of working with Melissa for a sleeve and a hand piece. She absolutely radiates good vibes and creative energy. She has always been very communicative, flexible with scheduling, and has done a masterful job of turning my concepts into bold and beautiful works of art. I've had truly wonderful experiences at this top notch establishment and will undoubtedly be returning in the future.
