Denver/Boulder Area Tattoo Artist? - 6/16/2011 7:28:35 AM

Not really sure which forum to post this in. My apologies, if I choose incorrectly.

Recently, I have decided to add another piece of body art to my flesh. The two I have, acquired over the space of 10 years, while well thought out, were not well planned out. By this, I mean I did not seek out a reputable shop, or a skilled artist.

Because of the nature of the tattoo (being M/s related), the placement (on my breast), and my overall age (much more of a planner these days), I would like to put in time and energy to find the best artist for me. And that folks, is why I am here, hoping that someone will be able to recommend a tattoo shop in the Denver/Boulder area. I'm either looking for a personal recommendation or one based on your familiarity with their work.

Thanks for the help!

Let me ask around some. I know a lot of local kinksters, and some are inksters as well.

Radiant, dont always go by reviews,

The only place i go where im at in pa, they have some bad reviews because the people who went didnt like the pricing, so they trashed the reputation... dont take internet reviews as your deciding factor, Go to the shops ask the people who are there, usually if the place is good they will have lots of return visitors, ask the general questions, do you have samples of your work, what is your pricing, what is your cleaning habits.
