Review of Blackbird Ink
Blackbird Ink: A Unique Tattoo Shop and Art Gallery
Blackbird Ink is a tattoo shop and art gallery located in Longmont, Colorado. The shop is owned and operated by women, which is a unique feature in the tattoo industry. The shop has a cool vibe and is very clean and professional. The aesthetics of the shop are unlike any other tattoo parlor you have seen. The walls are not covered in generic flash, but instead, they have a gorgeous taxidermied mountain goat right when you walk in. The shop is very quaint and personal, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.
The shop offers a variety of tattoo styles, and the artists are very talented. Kirsty, Destiny, and Kira are the three artists who work at Blackbird Ink. Kirsty's work puts other tattoos to shame, according to one customer review. Destiny is an amazing artist and person, and she makes customers feel respected, supported, and empowered to make their own decisions. Kira's style is unique and clean, and she takes her time to make sure the tattoo is exactly what the customer wants.
The shop is not only a tattoo shop but also an art gallery. The shop showcases the artists' work, and the art is available for purchase. The shop also hosts events, such as art shows and pop-up shops.
If you are looking for a unique tattoo experience, Blackbird Ink is the place to go. The shop is beautifully clean and sterile, and the artists are fantastic people with dope skills. The shop is highly recommended by its customers, and it is definitely worth checking out.

I had my first Tattoo done by Mick, I was in the Navy for 9 years and never got one. Mick had done one for my daughter and I thought it was great so I decided to finally get this done. I was very very happy I made the decision to have Mick do my first tat. I am very pleased with the result. Mick was very professional and the place is very clean. I am beyond pleased with this experience and would highly recommend this shop.

This was my first tattoo ever and it was a fantastic experience. My artist (Kristy York) was incredible, she visualised my design better than I even could have, put on my music to make me comfortable, and gave me a fantastic tattoo. There was a slight wait while another customer was getting finished up but the decor is so cool I didn't mind at all. Highly highly recommend.

My wife went in to get a piece of my art tattooed on her leg. They are both amazingly professional, and amazingly talented. The shop is very clean and Kirstie is a phenomenal artist to both work with and in terms of replicating a piece. I highly recommend them.

I have gone to three different tattoo artists and Holly has been the best by far! She is very professional and knows exactly what she's doing. I refuse to go to any other tattoo artist! If you're looking for a fun and amazing tattoo artist Holly is your girl!!!

This is the BEST experience I have ever had with tattooing. Holly is doing an amazing job on a very large cover-up on my back and it looks flawless. If you want impeccable art by an incredibly imaginative and talented artist-Holly is your girl.

I went to Holly a few years after getting a really bad sugar skull tattoo when I was 17. I went in with all these grand ideas to not only fix the tattoo but to make it better and better as well. Holly talked me out of that and suggested that we get the tattoo fixed first, and then I can decide if I want to add to it. She was right, as now my tattoo is so much better and I don't feel the need to add anymore. Her shop is clean, and she is very professional and friendly. I highly recommend her to all my friends!

Absolutely love Holly. Ive come in for 2 custom tattoos i designed and cared so much about, she allowed me to pick every color and went over all the details. Plus the work is great! Cant wait to go back to her

We are traveling from Texas to see family and Kirsty was amazing. The studio is sterile and and in a nice area. We did not have exact photos of exactly what we wanted, but she drew it up and it turned out beautiful. She is super friendly and laid back. Her precious dog hangs out while she works. A great place. We will be back!! Thanks Kirsty!

Highly recommend this studio. My artist (Mick Minyard) visualized the design I wanted perfectly, and executed it extremely well. He was also very patient with me regarding scheduling issues. Overall great place and people, would definitely come back for future tattoos.

All I gave Holly was a theme and a color pallet. She totally pulled my dreams out of my brain and put it on my entire back (top to bottom, along my spine across my shoulders, my ribs, down my rump and over my hips) neck, and upper arms. It was perfect. She covered a dated 15 year old tattoo while she was at it and fixed the previous work on the back of my neck. Did I mention she did it all freehand? She's amazing.
