Today, I went in to get a tattoo and Steve refused to do my tattoo.In depth, I made an appointment for 7/17 at 5pm. On the day of the appointment, I went in the shop and waited 15 minutes to find out that Steve was not in the shop due to a finger injury. Not a big deal at all. I understand that emergencies come up. I was a bit disappointed in how they communicated this with me because all I received was a missed call, 30 minutes prior to the appointment. I called the number right back, but no one answered, so I thought it was a spam call. There was no text message nor a voice message. I was told that the shop tried calling me a couple of times, but my phone records show otherwise. I had to reschedule the appointment for 7/20 at 6 pm. I went in at 5:40 to start the paper work, as I respect the artists time and wanted to make sure I was ready to go on time. I waited until 6:25 pm for Steve to start sketching my tattoo. Again, I didn't mind at all. I had previously gone in to the shop to explain to Steve the tattoo that I wanted and made a deposit when he agreed to do the tattoo for me. I respect that he has a busy schedule and understand that appointments can last longer. At 6:38 pm, he had finished my drawing. I had three minor changes that I wanted to make (more on this later). Was it wrong of me to ask the artist for minor changes on a drawing that will permanently be on my body? He then reached in his pocket and returned my $50 deposit. He told me that his next appointment was waiting and told me that I will never like the tattoo he draws. I guess small tattoos aren't worth the time and money. I am truly disappointed. My two friends got their first tattoo with Steve and I believed that Steve was truly caring about his work and his clients. These same friends were with me when this happened, and they were all disappointed in how we were treated. The pictures show the small minor changes that I asked for. The print out is what Steve originally created on the computer. The hand drawn picture is what he drew for his second sketch. The first 2 requests I had were to decrease the size of the paw and move it over towards the right. He proceeded to hand draw his second sketch after these two requests. After looking at the hand drawn sketch, I asked if he could make sure that the paw is centered to the stethoscope. I didn't even ask him to draw another sketch. You can clearly see the white background/square around the paw. He could have easily made these minor adjustments quickly on the computer. He wasted a couple hours out of my day (days...!), but he couldn't spend a few minutes to create a sketch that I was comfortable with. Why would you schedule appointments with so little time frame in between, if you, the artist cannot understand that some appointments will last longer than expected? I, the customer, was able to understand that appointments may get backed up at a tattoo shop, but I don't think Steve understood this. I believe that valuing your customers time and opinion is an important center of focus as a tattoo artist. I respected Steve's time, but Steve clearly did not respect my time. This is my 7th tattoo and I have never been so disappointed and felt disrespected.I ended up going to another tattoo shop this same day and the artist there quickly made the sketch in one go. He even took the time to fix the ECG to look like actual heart beats. After the sketch and paperwork, my tattoo took 30 minutes to finish.Steve canceled my first appointment, started the first sketch 25 minutes after the scheduled time, discriminated me for asking for small minor changes, was upset at me for being backed up, and made his own judgement about what I was thinking about his drawing. I am very disappointed. We all have bad days and maybe this was the case on this day. However, I hope that this is an experience no other customer will have to go through. Please be professional. There are many tattoo artists with amazing skills, but manners reflect how passionate they are about each, individual tattoo. I wish him well.

I moved to CO from CA about 2 years ago and I had an amazing artist back home. I was wanting to find one here and got a little worried and hesitant that I wouldn't find someone amazing. I got my tat done by Johnny. He was so friendly and made things more comfortable for me. It's not my first tattoo, but it is my first one in about 5 years. I told him I was nervous and he made small talk with me to distract me. Super helpful! Prior to this I came in for a consult and he was able to talk to me right away. Perfect timing. He quoted me about $80-$100 for my paw print tattoo with my dog's name on it. Since I have had tats before, I know how to take care of them. Johnny still went over everything with me just in case I forgot something. Thank you, Johnny, for my wonderful and memorable tattoo! I'll definitely be coming here more often.

Thank you for making it super easy for me to run and slap a bunch of money on a card to surprise my friend with a tattoo for Christmas!!! I wanted to do something for her that she wouldn't do for herself! She's always helping her friends and family and the special needs kids she teaches in school, so what better way to show a little gratitude to her for being the amazing person she is! She got an appointment like 3 weeks later and chose to go with a yellow butterfly with her grandmothers signature in the wings and she loves it! I love it too! Her artist did an amazing job!Thank you for helping me on my mission to make the girl who never cries, cry tears of joy! ;)

Kristin T. did my nose piercing and I was EXTREMELY nervous because I'm not a fan of needles or pain but I really wanted my nose pierced. She was VERY good at distracting me throughout the whole procedure. Before she even started the process she explained everything that she was going to do, and everything that I would experience during the piercing process, and the healing process. She made sure I fully understood the aftercare and even offered to change my jewelry when it was fully healed. I would definitely recommend Kristin if you are looking to get a piercing especially if you're nervous about the whole thing like I was. She's very knowledgeable as well which put me at ease and hopefully it will put others at ease as well....Oh and I'll definitely be going back to see Kristin once I decide what I want pierced next!

I went today to get my nose pierced! Krysten was phenomenal! She put and kept me completely at ease. She explained what she was doing and was very knowledgeable about the likely reaction one may have to this particular piercing and took all necessary precautions to avoid them. She was detailed, clean and fast. And of course they have the most reasonable rates as well. No doubt any future piercings will be with Krysten!!

I love this shop and they do a great job piercing. Johnny B did my helix piercing and Krysten did my conch. They were both super nice and very knowledgeable about piercings and I loved them both. The shop itself is clean to and has the clean shop smell. It has that clean smell, is open, and the paint job is sweet. They have a great variety of earrings as well along with gauge sizes for earrings. I had made the initial mistake of getting my helix done at Claire's and they joked with me about that mistake but they both did a great job on both of my piercings. I definitely plan on coming here for my future piercings. I am bringing my friend here on Saturday because they rock!

BEWARE!!! I went here to get my belly button pierced as I recently recovered from a bad eating disorder and got a lot of strech marks as I gained weight and I wanted to get it to help me love my belly a bit more and it was the worst experience of my life. First off, it was pierced over a half inch to deep!! And that caused the standard belly jewelry to be way to tight causing severe impaction in my skin. I returned and they switched it out for a longer bar that was even worse! It constantly rubbed and got irritated. I asked her how long before it would heal and she said only a week!!! When it takes months. Go to clean slate instead. They know what they are doing and gave me an amazing septum piercing and told me right away to take my belly ring out, let it heal, and try again with them. Worst experience in my life and I have several other piercings that healed perfectly from clean slate. Not this nightmare that I put up with for three months before finally taking it out. So ashamed!! Get more educated piercers!!

Took my daughter in for her first tattoo and Steve took really good care of her. He gave her the exact design and location for her memory tattoo. The following week her sister got the matching half. I was nervous about my 16 year old getting such a permanent thing but with him stating that he didn’t do any tattoos below the elbow for younger clients and encouraging her to get her piece on her shoulder blade we were both extremely happy. I would recommend the shop and Steve especially!!! His way with younger clients is a true selling point as he truly has both parties in mind with his ideas and willingness to assist with a compromise everyone is happy with.

Laid back staff with a real positive energy and great sense of humor. You can really tell they love what they do and where they work. Me and my friend were walk ins, they gave us a quote ahead of time drew it up, making adjustments so it would look good in the future and not just today.

So let me start by saying I did my homework and checked around a few different tattoo shops before deciding on the electric crayon. Steve is great to work with, very down to Earth and professional. He even went the extra step to filling in a prior tattoo that had faded a little.. The pricing is very fair and the shop is clean. Don't go downtown and let other shops rip you off for the same quality of work.

I came in from out of state just to see what they had to offer. I got to talking to Piper and was comfortable with his work and confidence to give me something pretty to cover up an old tattoo that needed to go. After a little time with him I decided to get the cover up and one of his personal pieces of work. He took his time to make sure he was pleased with his work, digesting every small detail. Not only was he artistically talented but easy to talk to and good for a la...ugh or two. The whole shop in general were friendly. I have seen my share of shops (including a famous one in Texas) but Piper made me comfortable from the start until the end. Thank you Piper (aka Adam hahaha) you made me feel pretty. I am thankful that my jacked up tattoo is now pretty like the rest and I have a sexy girl on my leg. � I will be back next time I am in the area. Afficher la suite

Really disappointed with this place!!! I was visiting here for the weekend from Vegas. I stayed at Double Tree Hilton Hotel. Saw this tattoo shop, so decided to stop by. It was my first time getting a tattoo, this white chubby guy tatted my knuckles. He charged me $150 and took him about 20 25 minutes. Once he was done, at first I liked the tattoo, I even tipped him $10, but after 2-3 days the old skin started falling off and so did the ink inside my skin. Now I'm back in Vegas it's been barely 5 days and most of my tattoo is fading away, you can barely see what it says. Idk if the ink he used was dried up ink that's why it faded away or whatever it is he used, but it's faded away. Really disappointed with this shop. I followed all the procedures, I applied that A&D on it keeping it moisturize for one week, I avoided swimming and whatever he told me. And the tattoo it's almost completely gone. So disappointed with this guy! Now I have to go somewhere else in Vegas and get it retouched and pay more now.

I needed to do something rebellious in my old age *cough cough*. Krysten made the experience of piercing my nose seamless and with no discomfort! I suffer from severe anxiety, and I felt right at home at Electric Crayon. She made me feel very comfortable and she made it a truly enjoyable rebellious experience! Their facilities are impeccably clean and sterile, and they they really treat each customer with the utmost care as if you're really a friend or part of a family. I would recommend going here for any piercing! Krysten took the time to explain how to clean my piercing and let me know that if I had any problems or concerns to come back and they would help me. I couldn't be more happy with how it looks. I've already gotten several compliments and my teenager absolutely hates it and thinks it's totally embarrassing, so that's a bonus!

I've gotten two tattoos from two separate artists here and I am very pleased with both!!!!My first tattoo- I was in the mood to do something spontaneous so I thought what the hell. Why don't I stop by to see if they have any openings. I talked to Johnny B and scheduled an appointment for the following week. Because I couldn't shake the spontaneous mood I ended up getting my belly button pierced by him that same night too. Johnny is great! I had the idea of my tattoo forever I was just looking for the right artist to piece it together for me. I wanted a traditional Flash (the superhero) tattoo on my calf. When I told him my idea he custom made my design and it turned out beautiful!! And I am absolutely in love with it, the color is vibrant and the detail is incredible. The only bad thing is that the tattoo must've of been in a suuuuper tender spot because it hurt like a bitch and my leg hurt forever it felt like (a little over a week) And it wasn't my first tattoo. He definitely has a heavier hand. We didn't talk much because I was in so much pain but the experience was still great none the less.Now for my second tattoo.. I walked in on a super spontaneous mood again not being able to wait to get my tattoo from Johnny. I wanted one right away so I figured I might be able to stop in for a small bumble bee tattoo since that's always been my nickname from my mom and had a lot of meaning to me. I walked in and met piper. I was looking at random portfolios and happened to pick up his and talked to him about my bee. I went from wanting a small bee tattoo to getting this super bad ass Albert Einstein bee Armageddon tattoo the day before my appointment with Johnny. Piper is so creative! I was weird about interpreting a skull into my tattoo but it was totally worth it and it became my style!!! We put it on my arm and now I can't wait to add more to it!! I get tons of compliments on both tattoos! If you're looking for good quality unique tattoos from creative artists then this place is for you!! Decent pricing in my opinion as well but I also believe you get what you pay for. The shop is very clean and professional and set for a great tattoo and piercing environment. I will definitely be back to finish my sleeve once I get a chance!

I think under the circumstance that I did call and didn't know was not aware of the 24 hours notice and showing a great deal of interest. Zachary is arrogant and rude and He think he was able to keep my deposit ( I notify my bank to cancel my purchase with that company.

This is a super late review but this place is amazing. I had Zach as my artist. He did an incredible job. He had a lot of patience with me when working on the placement of my tattoo. Being that it was going on my ribs I wanted to make sure it was centered on them and didn't go too far onto my back or stomach. He did a great job of making the pain minimal; he would rub aquaphor (I believe) on the tattoo as he was going and it made the whole getting a tattoo process pretty easy. His work was clean and beautiful. I'm in love with my tattoo and I'm scheduling my next tattoo this week.

This review is late...but my experience here still bothers me. I went here in hopes of doing a cover up, obviously went because of reviews. I went in on a Thursday evening after calling ahead of time to see if anyone was available, they said yes come on by. I got there and set me up with piper, he looked at my tattoo & helped me brainstorm some ideas. It was getting late so we set an appointment for the next day. The next day, I went in, Piper the one I set the appointment with was busy...I understand tattoo sessions go over expected time frames of course. So I stayed in the area to keep myself occupied, they said they'll call when they were ready. Well it became 7pm and I got a call from a young lady who said they were ready for me. I wasn't far, drove over there to find out that piper was "gone for the day"....Not only was I pissed, i talked to piper about my schedule and he knew that I wouldn't be able to go in the following day. On top of that, I never received an apology, matter of fact, I never even received a PHONE CALL to reschedule. I understand businesses get busy especially working on commission but my time was wasted just as much as his. I gave this 2 stars because the brainstorming that piper did was cool & he drew up a tattoo that I absolutely fell in love with. But with his service, I went elsewhere unfortunately.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Tried to get a simple tattoo with Steve. Paid my deposit, paid my babysitter, drove out of my way, showed up at my scheduled time, waited and waited. Was told he was next door by many of his co-workers and then after waiting a half an hour, was told he had an emergency and they told me he would call me back to reschedule. After I left, I noticed next door was a bar. I am only to assume that he was drinking before a scheduled job. That didnt sit will... with me. I tried contacting him several times (left name and number with three different staff members telling me he would call back) to reschedule and, as of this point, never got a phone call back nor an email. Basically, Steve just ROBBED me. Took my deposit and ran. After reading these reviews, I was not the first nor will I be the last. I wish I would have read these before I headed over there. The facility was in wonderful condition and looked clean. The other staff was very friendly, however, I would tell anyone and everyone not to work with Steve - EVER!!! Waste of time, money, and effort!! If you want a great experience with wonderful communicative people, head over to Lady Luck in Aurora. Afficher la suite

Krysten knows what she's doing. She is also very sweet and I might get pierced with her from now on. I called in ahead of time and waited for a few 10 minutes, filled in the paperwork and saw the different jewelry she carried made me feel comfortable and excited. I thought she was corporative from the start. Very easy to talk to, she made me feel better about getting my septum re-pierced. I also got my nose pierced and she threw in an extra piercing for me too! How sweet! The process didn't take long, and the best part was that my piercing still sticks in my face and belly. The nose piercing has always been a problem for me because it'll never last, but this time, I've been in a rough road with it and it still stays in. I will be visiting again in a few weeks to get my dolphin septum ring pierced by Krysten.

I came here looking for a different artist (that is no longer there) and ended up speaking with Steve who bragged of his experience and talent. I need a tattoo cover and he agreed to provide ideas once I scheduled an appointment and paid him a $50 deposit. After coming in twice to the shop, paid the $50 and scheduled the appointment for almost 4 weeks later. He took a photo of my current tat and told me to text him ideas of what I liked and he was to send me ideas of what he could do for me. 11 texts and two phone calls from me but NOT ONE IDEA from him in over 2 weeks. Actually, I couldn't get him to respond to me until I called to cancel my appointment. When I asked for my deposit back and he said no!! I said I would dispute it with my cc company. His reply was 'Go ahead and dispute them. I will get 3x the amount plus bank fees.' He said the deposit is for the appointment and that he would have an idea for me then. WHAT??!!! I'm supposed to show up and have him show me an idea at the time of my appointment and then start marking me? That is NOT what he told me and my friends. DO NOT TRUST HIM - HE DOES NOT DO WHAT HE PROMISED AND THEN TRIES TO KEEP YOUR MONEY FOR DOING NOTHING!!! (I will post the entire text thread for anyone interested to review). I use YELP for reviews so I can avoid dishonest businesses. I asked for my $50 back. If he would have just given my money back since he DID NOT show me ANY work for my tattoo cover, I would have just walked away and not posted here.Found MANY of the same complaints on Facebook. Steve gets nasty and mean!

Zach did an phenomenal job on a piece of artwork that is deeply sentimental to me. He is truly a gifted artist. I will be returning to him for all of my future artwork.

I went in to get my nipples pierced here after my friend referred me. I was super pumped but extremely nervous when I went in. As soon as I saw Krysten pop out of the office, I was sold. She was so friendly and welcoming that I just felt extremely comfortable with her. She got me in and out with her super quick skills and I'm so glad I did it. Yes it hurt, but the pain was so worth it because I love my new piercings! She's absolutely precious and I know that if I ever wanted another piercing, I'd go back to her. The place looks super sterile, but also has the edge people look for in a shop. Check it out if you're looking for a piercer. Thanks, Krysten!

Today, I went in to get a tattoo and Steve refused to do my tattoo.In depth, I made an appointment for 7/17 at 5pm. On the day of the appointment, I went in the shop and waited 15 minutes to find out that Steve was not in the shop due to a finger injury. Not a big deal at all. I understand that emergencies come up. I was a bit disappointed in how they communicated this with me because all I received was a missed call, 30 minutes prior to the appointment. I called the number right back, but no one answered, so I thought it was a spam call. There was no text message nor a voice message. I was told that the shop tried calling me a couple of times, but my phone records show otherwise. I had to reschedule the appointment for 7/20 at 6 pm. I went in at 5:40 to start the paper work, as I respect the artists time and wanted to make sure I was ready to go on time. I waited until 6:25 pm for Steve to start sketching my tattoo. Again, I didn't mind at all. I had previously gone in to the shop to explain to Steve the tattoo that I wanted and made a deposit when he agreed to do the tattoo for me. I respect that he has a busy schedule and understand that appointments can last longer. At 6:38 pm, he had finished my drawing. I had three minor changes that I wanted to make (more on this later). Was it wrong of me to ask the artist for minor changes on a drawing that will permanently be on my body? He then reached in his pocket and returned my $50 deposit. He told me that his next appointment was waiting and told me that I will never like the tattoo he draws. I guess small tattoos aren't worth the time and money. I am truly disappointed. My two friends got their first tattoo with Steve and I believed that Steve was truly caring about his work and his clients. These same friends were with me when this happened, and they were all disappointed in how we were treated. The pictures show the small minor changes that I asked for. The print out is what Steve originally created on the computer. The hand drawn picture is what he drew for his second sketch. The first 2 requests I had were to decrease the size of the paw and move it over towards the right. He proceeded to hand draw his second sketch after these two requests. After looking at the hand drawn sketch, I asked if he could make sure that the paw is centered to the stethoscope. I didn't even ask him to draw another sketch. You can clearly see the white background/square around the paw. He could have easily made these minor adjustments quickly on the computer. He wasted a couple hours out of my day (days...!), but he couldn't spend a few minutes to create a sketch that I was comfortable with. Why would you schedule appointments with so little time frame in between, if you, the artist cannot understand that some appointments will last longer than expected? I, the customer, was able to understand that appointments may get backed up at a tattoo shop, but I don't think Steve understood this. I believe that valuing your customers time and opinion is an important center of focus as a tattoo artist. I respected Steve's time, but Steve clearly did not respect my time. This is my 7th tattoo and I have never been so disappointed and felt disrespected.I ended up going to another tattoo shop this same day and the artist there quickly made the sketch in one go. He even took the time to fix the ECG to look like actual heart beats. After the sketch and paperwork, my tattoo took 30 minutes to finish.Steve canceled my first appointment, started the first sketch 25 minutes after the scheduled time, discriminated me for asking for small minor changes, was upset at me for being backed up, and made his own judgement about what I was thinking about his drawing. I am very disappointed. We all have bad days and maybe this was the case on this day. However, I hope that this is an experience no other customer will have to go through. Please be professional. There are many tattoo artists with amazing skills, but manners reflect how passionate they are about each, individual tattoo. I wish him well.

I moved to CO from CA about 2 years ago and I had an amazing artist back home. I was wanting to find one here and got a little worried and hesitant that I wouldn't find someone amazing. I got my tat done by Johnny. He was so friendly and made things more comfortable for me. It's not my first tattoo, but it is my first one in about 5 years. I told him I was nervous and he made small talk with me to distract me. Super helpful! Prior to this I came in for a consult and he was able to talk to me right away. Perfect timing. He quoted me about $80-$100 for my paw print tattoo with my dog's name on it. Since I have had tats before, I know how to take care of them. Johnny still went over everything with me just in case I forgot something. Thank you, Johnny, for my wonderful and memorable tattoo! I'll definitely be coming here more often.

Thank you for making it super easy for me to run and slap a bunch of money on a card to surprise my friend with a tattoo for Christmas!!! I wanted to do something for her that she wouldn't do for herself! She's always helping her friends and family and the special needs kids she teaches in school, so what better way to show a little gratitude to her for being the amazing person she is! She got an appointment like 3 weeks later and chose to go with a yellow butterfly with her grandmothers signature in the wings and she loves it! I love it too! Her artist did an amazing job!Thank you for helping me on my mission to make the girl who never cries, cry tears of joy! ;)

Kristin T. did my nose piercing and I was EXTREMELY nervous because I'm not a fan of needles or pain but I really wanted my nose pierced. She was VERY good at distracting me throughout the whole procedure. Before she even started the process she explained everything that she was going to do, and everything that I would experience during the piercing process, and the healing process. She made sure I fully understood the aftercare and even offered to change my jewelry when it was fully healed. I would definitely recommend Kristin if you are looking to get a piercing especially if you're nervous about the whole thing like I was. She's very knowledgeable as well which put me at ease and hopefully it will put others at ease as well....Oh and I'll definitely be going back to see Kristin once I decide what I want pierced next!

The shop itself is clean to and has the clean shop smell. It has that clean smell, is open, and the paint job is sweet. They have a great variety of earrings as well along with gauge sizes for earrings. I had made the initial mistake of getting my helix done at Claire's and they joked with me about that mistake but they both did a great job on both of my piercings. I definitely plan on coming here for my future piercings. I am bringing my friend here on Saturday because they rock!

BEWARE!!! I went here to get my belly button pierced as I recently recovered from a bad eating disorder and got a lot of strech marks as I gained weight and I wanted to get it to help me love my belly a bit more and it was the worst experience of my life. First off, it was pierced over a half inch to deep!! And that caused the standard belly jewelry to be way to tight causing severe impaction in my skin. I returned and they switched it out for a longer bar that was even worse! It constantly rubbed and got irritated. I asked her how long before it would heal and she said only a week!!! When it takes months. Go to clean slate instead. They know what they are doing and gave me an amazing septum piercing and told me right away to take my belly ring out, let it heal, and try again with them. Worst experience in my life and I have several other piercings that healed perfectly from clean slate. Not this nightmare that I put up with for three months before finally taking it out. So ashamed!! Get more educated piercers!!

Took my daughter in for her first tattoo and Steve took really good care of her. He gave her the exact design and location for her memory tattoo. The following week her sister got the matching half. I was nervous about my 16 year old getting such a permanent thing but with him stating that he didn’t do any tattoos below the elbow for younger clients and encouraging her to get her piece on her shoulder blade we were both extremely happy. I would recommend the shop and Steve especially!!! His way with younger clients is a true selling point as he truly has both parties in mind with his ideas and willingness to assist with a compromise everyone is happy with.

So let me start by saying I did my homework and checked around a few different tattoo shops before deciding on the electric crayon. Steve is great to work with, very down to Earth and professional. He even went the extra step to filling in a prior tattoo that had faded a little.. The pricing is very fair and the shop is clean. Don't go downtown and let other shops rip you off for the same quality of work.

The least he could have done is mute the phone. What a bunch of assholes who will never get our business and should never get anyone else's business. No respect for customers.

I came in from out of state just to see what they had to offer. I got to talking to Piper and was comfortable with his work and confidence to give me something pretty to cover up an old tattoo that needed to go. After a little time with him I decided to get the cover up and one of his personal pieces of work. He took his time to make sure he was pleased with his work, digesting every small detail. Not only was he artistically talented but easy to talk to and good for a la...ugh or two. The whole shop in general were friendly. I have seen my share of shops (including a famous one in Texas) but Piper made me comfortable from the start until the end. Thank you Piper (aka Adam hahaha) you made me feel pretty.

Really disappointed with this place!!! I was visiting here for the weekend from Vegas. I stayed at Double Tree Hilton Hotel. Saw this tattoo shop, so decided to stop by. It was my first time getting a tattoo, this white chubby guy tatted my knuckles. He charged me $150 and took him about 20 25 minutes. Once he was done, at first I liked the tattoo, I even tipped him $10, but after 2-3 days the old skin started falling off and so did the ink inside my skin. Now I'm back in Vegas it's been barely 5 days and most of my tattoo is fading away, you can barely see what it says. Idk if the ink he used was dried up ink that's why it faded away or whatever it is he used, but it's faded away. Really disappointed with this shop. I followed all the procedures, I applied that A&D on it keeping it moisturize for one week, I avoided swimming and whatever he told me. And the tattoo it's almost completely gone. So disappointed with this guy! Now I have to go somewhere else in Vegas and get it retouched and pay more now.

AWESOME SHOP. Great people, cool environment, awesome artists that are passionate about what they do and helping customers leave more than happy with what they got. Steve did my first and second tattoo, and I constantly have people asking where I got my work done, including other tattoo artists. Highly recommend!!

Steve was AMAZING. I had an idea in my head and he was able to draw it out exactly how I wanted it. He is a truly talented artist and I'd recommend him to all my friends!

I needed to do something rebellious in my old age *cough cough*. Krysten made the experience of piercing my nose seamless and with no discomfort! I suffer from severe anxiety, and I felt right at home at Electric Crayon. She made me feel very comfortable and she made it a truly enjoyable rebellious experience! Their facilities are impeccably clean and sterile, and they they really treat each customer with the utmost care as if you're really a friend or part of a family. I would recommend going here for any piercing! Krysten took the time to explain how to clean my piercing and let me know that if I had any problems or concerns to come back and they would help me. I couldn't be more happy with how it looks. I've already gotten several compliments and my teenager absolutely hates it and thinks it's totally embarrassing, so that's a bonus!

I've gotten two tattoos from two separate artists here and I am very pleased with both!!!!My first tattoo- I was in the mood to do something spontaneous so I thought what the hell. Why don't I stop by to see if they have any openings. I talked to Johnny B and scheduled an appointment for the following week. Because I couldn't shake the spontaneous mood I ended up getting my belly button pierced by him that same night too. Johnny is great! I had the idea of my tattoo forever I was just looking for the right artist to piece it together for me. I wanted a traditional Flash (the superhero) tattoo on my calf. When I told him my idea he custom made my design and it turned out beautiful!! And I am absolutely in love with it, the color is vibrant and the detail is incredible. The only bad thing is that the tattoo must've of been in a suuuuper tender spot because it hurt like a bitch and my leg hurt forever it felt like (a little over a week) And it wasn't my first tattoo. He definitely has a heavier hand. We didn't talk much because I was in so much pain but the experience was still great none the less.Now for my second tattoo.. I walked in on a super spontaneous mood again not being able to wait to get my tattoo from Johnny. I wanted one right away so I figured I might be able to stop in for a small bumble bee tattoo since that's always been my nickname from my mom and had a lot of meaning to me. I walked in and met piper. I was looking at random portfolios and happened to pick up his and talked to him about my bee. I went from wanting a small bee tattoo to getting this super bad ass Albert Einstein bee Armageddon tattoo the day before my appointment with Johnny. Piper is so creative! I was weird about interpreting a skull into my tattoo but it was totally worth it and it became my style!!! We put it on my arm and now I can't wait to add more to it!! I get tons of compliments on both tattoos! If you're looking for good quality unique tattoos from creative artists then this place is for you!! Decent pricing in my opinion as well but I also believe you get what you pay for. The shop is very clean and professional and set for a great tattoo and piercing environment. I will definitely be back to finish my sleeve once I get a chance!

I made an appointment with Zachary and I needed to cancel my appointment. I didn't realized it needed 24 hours notice to cancel. I called and spoke with Zachary. he said he was booked until the 7th of June and that the would call me back to reschedule. I called several times and left messages. Zachary has ignored all my voice message and he cant even return calls. I think under the circumstance that I did call and didn't know was not aware of the 24 hours notice and showing a great deal of interest. Zachary is arrogant and rude and He think he was able to keep my deposit ( I notify my bank to cancel my purchase with that company. I had hernia surgery and cant take laying still for 2.5 hours and he was not sympathetic to my situation and just want me to know he was book solid.

This place is great. It's clean, professional and the staff is friendly. Zach explained everything he did and triple checked my design to make sure I was getting what I wanted. He made sure I know everything was sterile and clean. He was friendly and talkative while he worked. He went over the take home instructions in detailed and encouraged me to call if I had any questions or concerns. This is my first tattoo but I felt very comfortable. Highly recommended!

This is a super late review but this place is amazing. I had Zach as my artist. He did an incredible job. He had a lot of patience with me when working on the placement of my tattoo. Being that it was going on my ribs I wanted to make sure it was centered on them and didn't go too far onto my back or stomach. He did a great job of making the pain minimal; he would rub aquaphor (I believe) on the tattoo as he was going and it made the whole getting a tattoo process pretty easy. His work was clean and beautiful. I'm in love with my tattoo and I'm scheduling my next tattoo this week.

This review is late...but my experience here still bothers me. I went here in hopes of doing a cover up, obviously went because of reviews. I went in on a Thursday evening after calling ahead of time to see if anyone was available, they said yes come on by. I got there and set me up with piper, he looked at my tattoo & helped me brainstorm some ideas. It was getting late so we set an appointment for the next day. The next day, I went in, Piper the one I set the appointment with was busy...I understand tattoo sessions go over expected time frames of course. So I stayed in the area to keep myself occupied, they said they'll call when they were ready. Well it became 7pm and I got a call from a young lady who said they were ready for me. I wasn't far, drove over there to find out that piper was "gone for the day"....Not only was I pissed, i talked to piper about my schedule and he knew that I wouldn't be able to go in the following day. On top of that, I never received an apology, matter of fact, I never even received a PHONE CALL to reschedule. I understand businesses get busy especially working on commission but my time was wasted just as much as his. I gave this 2 stars because the brainstorming that piper did was cool & he drew up a tattoo that I absolutely fell in love with. But with his service, I went elsewhere unfortunately.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Tried to get a simple tattoo with Steve. Paid my deposit, paid my babysitter, drove out of my way, showed up at my scheduled time, waited and waited. Was told he was next door by many of his co-workers and then after waiting a half an hour, was told he had an emergency and they told me he would call me back to reschedule. After I left, I noticed next door was a bar. I am only to assume that he was drinking before a scheduled job. That didnt sit will... with me. I tried contacting him several times (left name and number with three different staff members telling me he would call back) to reschedule and, as of this point, never got a phone call back nor an email. Basically, Steve just ROBBED me. Took my deposit and ran. After reading these reviews, I was not the first nor will I be the last. I wish I would have read these before I headed over there. The facility was in wonderful condition and looked clean. The other staff was very friendly, however, I would tell anyone and everyone not to work with Steve - EVER!!! Waste of time, money, and effort!! If you want a great experience with wonderful communicative people, head over to Lady Luck in Aurora. Afficher la suite

Krysten knows what she's doing. She is also very sweet and I might get pierced with her from now on. I called in ahead of time and waited for a few 10 minutes, filled in the paperwork and saw the different jewelry she carried made me feel comfortable and excited. I thought she was corporative from the start. Very easy to talk to, she made me feel better about getting my septum re-pierced. I also got my nose pierced and she threw in an extra piercing for me too! How sweet! The process didn't take long, and the best part was that my piercing still sticks in my face and belly. The nose piercing has always been a problem for me because it'll never last, but this time, I've been in a rough road with it and it still stays in. I will be visiting again in a few weeks to get my dolphin septum ring pierced by Krysten.

I came here looking for a different artist (that is no longer there) and ended up speaking with Steve who bragged of his experience and talent. I need a tattoo cover and he agreed to provide ideas once I scheduled an appointment and paid him a $50 deposit. After coming in twice to the shop, paid the $50 and scheduled the appointment for almost 4 weeks later. He took a photo of my current tat and told me to text him ideas of what I liked and he was to send me ideas of what he could do for me. 11 texts and two phone calls from me but NOT ONE IDEA from him in over 2 weeks. Actually, I couldn't get him to respond to me until I called to cancel my appointment. When I asked for my deposit back and he said no!! I said I would dispute it with my cc company. His reply was 'Go ahead and dispute them. I will get 3x the amount plus bank fees.' He said the deposit is for the appointment and that he would have an idea for me then. WHAT??!!! I'm supposed to show up and have him show me an idea at the time of my appointment and then start marking me? That is NOT what he told me and my friends. DO NOT TRUST HIM - HE DOES NOT DO WHAT HE PROMISED AND THEN TRIES TO KEEP YOUR MONEY FOR DOING NOTHING!!! (I will post the entire text thread for anyone interested to review). I use YELP for reviews so I can avoid dishonest businesses. I asked for my $50 back. If he would have just given my money back since he DID NOT show me ANY work for my tattoo cover, I would have just walked away and not posted here.Found MANY of the same complaints on Facebook. Steve gets nasty and mean!

Zach did an phenomenal job on a piece of artwork that is deeply sentimental to me. He is truly a gifted artist. I will be returning to him for all of my future artwork. I highly recommend Zach as well as the rest of the artist at The Electric Crayon. My entire experience was meaningful, memorable and thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish!

I went in to get my nipples pierced here after my friend referred me. I was super pumped but extremely nervous when I went in. As soon as I saw Krysten pop out of the office, I was sold. She was so friendly and welcoming that I just felt extremely comfortable with her. She got me in and out with her super quick skills and I'm so glad I did it. Yes it hurt, but the pain was so worth it because I love my new piercings! She's absolutely precious and I know that if I ever wanted another piercing, I'd go back to her. The place looks super sterile, but also has the edge people look for in a shop. Check it out if you're looking for a piercer. Thanks, Krysten!
