Black Sage Studio

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!

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.

They are very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to removing unwanted tattoos! Clean comfortable relaxing atmosphere! I will be back! Highly recommend!

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 😃

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!

Cody Awn is by far the best artist I have ever worked with, & I have worked with quite a few. Cody is insanely talented artistically because of his creativity, different styles he is able to achieve beautifully, beautiful placement which flows and fits the body perfectly, & originality you will never see a tattoo by him on anyone else. He truly does make your body a canvas which has always been my goal with the tattoo work I get. Not only is Cody an amazing artist, he is amazing to work with because of his great personality, great conversation which can be very hard to find in the industry & the ability to listen to what you want and make it even better than what you were in-visioning. After my many great experiences with Cody it's hard for me to even want to get tattooed by anyone else. I have plenty of work from different artists and Cody has always been the first one I recommended and send people too because he will never disappoint.

Outstanding artists, professional and very comfortable studio. Cody Awn designed and created an extremely beautiful half sleeve incorporating a large mastectomy chest piece. His work is beautiful, unique and I receive compliments all the time. Thank you Cody Awn, and all at Black Sage!

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!

Black Sage has such a nice vibe and good energy to the building and team for getting your body art done. I have been working with their artist Cody for years and he is such a talented and genuine guy I can trust to do great work every time!

Melissa is an exceptional artist & the most lovely human. Her studio is top-notch, always clean, smells good, is inviting & each artist has their own space with a door, this is brilliant. I love that there is a laser removal service to lighten up old tattoos for coverups; this was crucial for my piece. I am grateful for the hours shared with Melissa & not only will I be back, I refer everyone to her studio because if Melissa is not available, all the artists are as passionate about their work as Melissa & do amazing work as well. I know with full confidence anyone that steps into this studio will enjoy their experience as much as I did. Peace!

A great place to get a tattoo! Super fun, friendly and clean environment. All the artists are very talented. I'm very happy with the tattoo Melis gave me. Would recommend to anyone!

My husband and I have had some removal done and five tattoos over numerous sessions. When you find a place like Black Sage Studio that is so welcoming and professional you just keep going back. We drove from Texas because of the awesome, humble artists who really made us feel like we were making friends. All of this on top of the first rate talent and skill. We will be back! Melis is our lady!

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.

I've had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Melissa as well as had removal sessions with Jim. Everyone in this studio is so welcoming and the space is pristine. Even if you don't live near Evergreen it is absolutely worth the drive.

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.

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!

Absolutely love this studio, best group of artists in Colorado in my mind. Everyone is awesome and make your sessions memorable. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone, there are so many different styles between artists and all of the work is amazing! Top notch business and super duper clean too. Do yourself a favor and TREAT YO SELF!

Beautiful and clean studio with insanely talented artists. I was tattooed recently by Brian Henry and I couldn't be happier with the finished product.
