Bolder Ink

Lane T is an incredible human as well as tattoo artist. He did my DIL peony tatoo. Brian did free style waves for me. SOOOO many compliments!

Love Bolder Ink. Wish I could go more often! Only place I will ever go! Edited based on last experience.. (dropped from 5 stars) I've been to Bolder Ink three times over the years. I have always expressed how great they are and that I wouldn't ever get a tattoo anywhere else. But when I was there a couple weeks ago I was highly let down. The work was amazing. I'm happy with how my tattoo turned out. But, I felt very unwelcome. I felt like my idea wasn't seen. Maybe even joked about. I felt like there was not a ton of respect for me. Definitely a let down because their work is really good, and the price is exactly what you should expect to pay for the work.

Second tattoo here and will go back if I ever want another. Everyone was welcoming and gave honest feedback on my desired design that improved it.

I see. Wow. I thought 1 star reviews was haters but nope they're telling the truth. One of artist, i not bother to ask his name but he mock my face when i say price are extreme overpriced try to reduce the price. That when i decide to take my business to somewhere. Your loss , my gain. **And they very mean to deaf people because of my poor grammar **

I had my 3rd experience at Bolder Ink today with Lance and couldn’t be more psyched. Bolder Ink has 5 star service and a 5 star crew. If you’re looking for amazing, talented artists that will design and deliver one of a kind pieces - this is your place!

No. I won't come back again. Overpriced for small simple dime size tattoo for over 100 dollar wow what a rip off. Thankful i didn't get tattoo from them. That save my money whew!

Good experience

Aaron is THE BEST.

Went to Bolder Ink for my first tattoo, and am very glad I did. Aaron did an amazing job on the tattoo and took time to walk me though all the aftercare steps. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be getting more tattoos from them in the future.

Joel Long is amazing. He does fantastic work. If you don't know him you should get to know him.

Came here for my 3rd (and biggest) piece on a whim. Frankie was phenomenal in scheduling my walk in, and PeeWee was an outstanding artist! He brought my (very scatter brained) vision to life and was a pleasure to sit for. I plan on coming back here for another piece!

Francesca truly is an amazing artist. Everyone at the shop is so nice and considerate. The music is killer. 10/10.

Currently have several tattoos. Was interested in getting more here in Boulder. Called and spoke with Frankie, who was generally nice. He told me to send an email with pictures, info, and more explaining what I was looking for and that they would get back to me. Sent that day. Followed up with a phone call to confirm he got it. Then followed up via email a week later, followed by even another phone call. No response and they seemed pretty disinterested in me. Went to Inksmith Tattoos and met someone who was super responsive, cared about the work I wanted to get done, and I felt welcomed. I would give this one star but did two only because Frankie seemed nice over the phone.

Call ahead to make an appointment because walk-ins are hard to get. I highly highly recommend this tattoo parlor. Aaron is my guy!

Aaron at Bolder Ink was excellent! Very patient with all my questions for this newbie. He took my inspiration photos and came up with a great tattoo. He's very talented and knows his stuff, from how well types of tattoos will age and after care. Highly recommend!

My friend and I came in for a walk-in tattoo as we make it tradition anytime he visits we get a tattoo together. I got paired up with Jodie. She was super nice and friendly, showed me her line work as I was interested in getting an American Traditional rose in color to be similar to the one I have in black and grey on my right leg. Jodie took her time to make sure all the shading and coloring was filled in right. She also changed up the leaves she had originally on her line drawing of the rose. I loved what it ended up looking like, and will definitely come back for more of her stuff she has!

I got my first tattoo at bolder ink. Aaron did an amazing job. The tattoo looks great. They were really nice. Highly recommend.

my sister and i went in with a friend and PeeWee was so great! everything from sizing to having awesome recommendations. he custom drew my sternum piece and it is AMAZING! seriously the detail and clean lines. thin lines, thicker lines, dot shading, it’s beautiful. i even had an idea to add some words and he told me that wasn’t his strong suit anymore which i a thousand percent respected the honesty, and now looking at it the way it is, i wouldn’t want it any other way.

Seriously every tattoo shop I’ve ever been to has felt like a death metal hospital. Cold, grungy, and they just push people through to make money but Bolder ink is the exact opposite I felt like I walked in to longtime friends. the atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and everyone there is awesome and super kind! Brian is doing my sleeve and I wouldn’t have it any other way thank you bolder ink! Will never enter another death metal hospital again thanks to y’all

Easily the best place to get inked in Boulder. They know their stuff have an incredible group of artists and always put out amazing work. These guys have been here for years and once you go you'll see why. Trust them and you won't be disappointed.
