Emma H is amazing, I was lucky in finding her here, she had done other work on me at a different shop. The other artists are super nice too, and this shop is great. It is roomy, not crowded like some shops I have seen. Check out their website, and again, Emma is amazing and super talented

Five star service and everything else because the employees were all really professional. This was my first big and color piece which took time. I was very comfortable during the entire process and enjoyed the great tunes to take my mind off the pen. I'm in awe of how intricate the detailing is of the pine trees and trout tail. The line work on the Dead quote is crisp.
A shout out to AJ and his wife for making this happen for me. I feel truly fortunate to wear your art.
Tight lines!

Check out Amanda Boik at Dead Drift if you want a beautiful tattoo and a friendly and professional artist. Her incredible work of animals is what initially drew me to her, as I was planning on an animal being my next tattoo. The piece she did for me is detailed and it came out perfect. I’m looking forward to seeing her again!

Anna is absolutely wonderful to work with! I came across her profile on instagram (@anna.figallo) and messaged her to set up an appt. When my appt came around, she had the stencils ready and took her time to adjust the position and fine tune the outline to fit around my knee perfectly. When she started tattooing she was so gentle and kept checking in to make sure I was comfortable. You can really tell she's passionate about what she does and wants you to have the best tattoo experience possible!
Thank you again!

I went to Amanda for a small fine line tattoo. It turned out perfectly! I really appreciated how she let me be very involved in getting the design exactly how I wanted it and placed exactly where I wanted it. She was SO patient and never made me feel rushed or bad as I was making decisions. Highly highly recommend!

Shop was clean, large, with a great aesthetic.
Felt compelled to write a review regarding @anna.figallo (insta) after her awesome accomodation and service. We messaged her the night before my friends and I wanted to get three matching line work wildflower tattoos (2 on ribs, 1 arm) ((pardon my bad tattoo etiquette, it was my last day of vacation here))
She stayed late for us the day of the appointment and had a beautiful custom drawing ready for us that we agreed upon immediately.
It was my friends first tattoo (rib placement) and Anna was so attentive and positive. She encouraged our feedback on placement and design. She was also super fun and kind!
Her line work was beautiful: perfect depth, precise, and super clean. She worked quickly and knocked out all 3. Her Instagram demonstrates that she can do a variety of styles, but she said she really loves doing flowers 🌼
We're all super happy with the whole experience and tattoo, my friend had an awesome first tattoo experience. I would highly recommend her work!
Matt Hamlet was unprepared and hard to work with, I honestly wouldn’t go back.
I had sent the details of what I was going to have done to him two weeks prior to our appointment, however on the day of the appointment he needed the pictures again and had not even looked at what I sent him.
then when drawing the tattoo, he stated that he couldn't do detail on one part of the tattoo which wasn't very small at all and wouldn't use a smaller needle.
Lastly he was just a hard person to talk to.

Dead Drift is full of incredible artists and they’re all such great humans. Highly recommend contacting them for a consultation. Had the pleasure of working with Matt Hamlet who was friendly, professional, and the piece turned out amazing. The detail is beyond what I imagined and I’m so happy with it. He made me feel comfortable the whole time and his work is fantastic. Thanks Matt and thanks Dead Drift! Will be back again soon. This picture is right after the session. Can’t wait to see it healed!

Matt Hamlet was my tattoo artist and he was incredible! I sent him a design for an idea and he augmented it perfectly. We talked through the whole design process and I could not be happier with the tattoo or the experience. I can't stop staring at it! Would recommend 100/10

Had an appointment with Jim and wanted tattoo that went into my hand. I said all this info over the phone and then was refused service at time of appointment all because I didn’t have a full sleeve and couldn’t hide the hand tattoo once I got it. I’m an ER nurse of 5 years. No one cares especially now whether I have tattoos. He didn’t ask my job or anything. Pretty bummed. Went to another shop and had no trouble.

AJ and the Dead Drift team are awesome! This is a very professional, friendly, clean shop. AJ nailed it by quickly honing in on what I was looking for and helped me through the best placement options. End result was perfect. Super high quality work that I’m getting tons of comments on…specifically how clean and detailed everything looks.
Put it this way…I have to fly in from out of state to see these guys. And the experience is so great I’m already looking at the next trip for more!

AJ at Dead Drift Tattoo is a amongst the most dedicated and professional tattoo artisans I have ever worked with in 25 years of getting tattooed in Denver. I would highly recommend anyone to see AJ or any artist at Dead Drift Tattoo. AJ sincerely cares about his clients, is very patient, and his artwork and attention to detail is amazing. Every tattoo is a huge deal to the person whose body it will be on for the rest of their lives, and AJ realizes this and makes every tattoo special for the customer. On a side note, go see AJ if you are thinking about any fly fishing or fishing related tattoos.

I’ve had the best tattoo experience at dead drift twice now. Galen is very gentle, polite, and so talented. The rest of the artists there seem really nice and are always complimentary of each others work. I definitely recommend booking with this shop if you’re in the market for some good tattoos in a good shop environment.

I have seen David twice now for 4 hours and 8 hours, and I cannot wait to come back to the shop. All of the artists are so kind and wonderful to work with. It is clean, safe, and always a great experience. My fiancé has seen AJ here as well and absolutely loved his experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get some sick custom tattoos.

Getting tattooed by Galen was a very memorable experience. She took very good care of me from the beginning and throughout the 3 sessions I spent with her, making sure I was comfortable and spending hours making sure the placement was right for my tattoo. It’s all healed now and the line work, dot work, and shading just exceeded all of my expectations. I truly have a beautiful one of a kind tattoo thanks to her! I especially loved working with her because of how profesional, talented, and kind she is. She has a very unique dark aesthetic that is unlike anything else. Her hard work and dedication are definitely shown through her artwork. I can’t wait to get another tattoo here. I would highly recommend anyone to visit this shop because of the wide variety of artists and styles and definitely book with Galen if she fits your aesthetic! You won’t be disappointed.
