I am beyond pleased with my experience at this shop. Nick McQueen is the artist I chose to do my tattoo and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Originally I just tagged along with my boyfriend while he was getting his tattoo from CiCi and as I perused the artist's portfolios on the table in the waiting area, I realized that Nick was the man I needed to speak with regarding my next piece. After he was done with a client I spoke with him briefly about some of my ideas, put down $60 as a deposit for my next appointment, and afterwards I emailed him a handful of pictures that I'd had to match the long-winded description in said email. I think I spent 3 sessions with Nick, at about 4 hours each time. He was very easy to chat with and the conversation didn't seem to impact his ability to do his job, so that was reassuring too. I continue to get overwhelming compliments on my piece and I refer people to him any chance I can get. I can't wait to go back and get more work done by Nick. Read Less

Nick is so very talented, professional and kind. He's actually the best tattoo artist I have ever seen! Cici and Joe are also very talented but I haven't received tattoos from them yet! The inside of the shop is well decorated and the environment is calm. All the artists truly take their time to make sure you get the piece that you are looking for, and the price is very reasonable.

Fantastic people and even better artists. I took my daughter in for her 18th birthday and Joe really did an amazing job. She's gotten tons of complements on it and best of all she loves it. Thanks for the great experience!!!!! Read Less

I took my daughter in on her 18th birthday for her first tattoo and they we all so awesome to work with. Clean. Professional. Friendly. Awesome Artists. I highly recommend. Joe Blackstone is one heck of an artist. Thanks for the great experience!!!! Read Less

I had a pleasant visit. :) I was a walk in guest for a septum piercing, I was informed that the piercer was out getting lunch, but waiting wasn't a problem because I had to fill out paperwork anyways. Nick did my piercing; he was really nice, clean and friendly. The price was about 45 with jewelry. And they told me if anything happens to it, I can come back and get repierced for free. So that's pretty dang sweet. My only complaint is that the piercing was a little low in my nose, a slightly weird placement. Edit- decided to take down a star simply for the placement of the septum. It was placed too low and healed very painfully. Getting it done again properly realised how bad the placement made it. Read Less

i am 16 years old and i’m from minneapolis minnesota. i had a flight in to colorado to get this tattoo and my flight was about three hours late. i got to the shop at 6pm which was not nearly enough time to get a tattoo but Cici fit me in and got me in and out within 45 minutes. the staff was helpful enough to even suggest further tattoos based off the designs i already had. cici was very very efficient and someone who i will 10/10 consider to do all of my tattoos in the future. atmosphere was very cozy and you really feel appreciated there. more than pleased with my experience.

Cici was excellent!  My daughter got a simple, small tattoo on her wrist, she had a picture of what she wanted and Cici did it exactly, in like 5 minutes!  It's perfect, daughter loves it.  Thank you, Cici! Read Less

Don't listen to any of these 1 star reviews. I've seen plenty of work come out of that shop and have also gotten work done there myself. EVERY artist is very talented and they all do awesome work. And the owner, one of the nicest guys I think I've ever met! Definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again and again Read Less

I go to Joe for my tattoos but both Cici and Nick are amazing artists as well. They all take time to figure out exactly what you want for your tattoo and are just great people to hang around. It's a very clean place and all of their needles and equipment are sanitized and cleaned properly. They are very professional and always welcoming into the shop. One of the best tattoo shops I've been to!! Highly recommend!! Read Less

This shop is a hidden gem! The artists there put out some really amazing work. CiCi is my artist, and she's great! She is gentle, attentive, and very sweet. She has been my tattoo artist for 2 years now and I can not go anywhere without more than one person complimenting my half-sleeve. CiCi also sells her own personal art which I think is absolutely gorgeous. I really love that the shop has a female artist. More shops need them! The shop itself has a great vibe to it. Everyone there seems to get along great. The shop is always clean and so is their bathroom. They can get busy so it's always important to call ahead or make an appointment! To the people: Always remember to respect the artists. This is how they make a living. If you are rude or mean to them, do you really expect them to kiss your arse? I would hope not. Happy tattooing!

I am in love with my tattoo. My tattoo definitely cost more than what the original quote but well worth every cent. Cici did an amazing job not only did she meet my needs for a unique tattoo but it also covered my very scarred and maimed original tattoo. Staff has been nothing but helpful and pleasent. I would recommend her anyday. My tattoo did take very long, again it was colored and shaded to high standards (wouldn't you want an artist to take the time to make sure it's perfect and to a high quality standard?) Read Less

Great shop! Both my husband and I get our tattoos here. Joe is our artist and he is incredible but I have also seen both CiCi and Nick's artwork as well and they are all very talented artists. You are in great hands no matter who's chair you sit in. Trusting the artist that you go to makes all the difference in getting a true work of art on your body and Summit is the place to be.

Top notch! Summit Tattoo is the only place I will go. I would say that it is definitely one of the best shops I've been too! All the artists are amazing at their craft, true professionals, and I would recommend Summit Tattoo to anyone who wants to get a high quality Tattoo! The artists in the shop are very attentive to your thoughts and ideas, they make you feel comfortable, and they take their time and do amazing work! You will not leave disappointed! Read Less

Summit Tattoo is the best! Joe did my tattoo for and I couldn't be happier. His work is phenomenal and so is the rest of the shop's work! They are really nice and enjoyable to hangout with while you're being tattooed. Highly, recommend Summit! Read Less

Stopped in to have a few piercings looked at that were done at other piercing shops due to concerns about barbells being too short and a nose ring becoming embedded. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped loosen the nose ring and offered advice on piercing aftercare in a professional manner and were all very respectful. Will go back in the future for other piercings! Read Less

No no no!!!My husband came here for a tattoo and made a deal on price regardless of time. Was going to take a few sessions but guy wanted to be paid upfront. BAD DECISION on our part. When my husband called him to schedule next session he told my husband that he wants more money. They argued for a while, and we realized we got screwed. And we did not continue with them. Read Less

I had a 2 o'clock appointment today with Nick McQueen to get the Daith Piercing done in both my ears. Nick was so professional and talked me through the whole process and was even gracious enough to re-pierce my bellybutton at the same time even though it wasn't planned. before we even left the shop I felt the Daith piercings taking effect on my migraine which I had been dealing with for the last 2 and a half weeks. My fiance and I will both be returning to Summit when we want to get our tattoos and to get my fiances other piercings. Read Less

First off I want to say that Joe Blackstone was a true professional.  He did a great job with the crappy picture I emailed him and I really love the tattoo he gave me.  Joe took the time to listen and put up with all my changes until I felt comfortable with the finished product.  I highly recommend him and anyone at Summit Tattoo.  I would not only say they are the best in Castle Rock but probably one of the best in the state. Read Less

This is a great place to get a tattoo! I've gotten my fair share of work done at more than a few different shops and this by far has become my favorite! I just finished getting a rattlesnake on my calve (done by Nick). He is a very talented artist with many amazing pieces. I get compliments on my tattoo all of the time! This place is very clean and all of the staff is very professional. If you're considering getting your first tattoo this would be a perfect place to do it. Read Less

This is by far the best place in Colorado to get inked! They have 4 amazing artist that all have unique skills. I have like 4 tatts from here and they are by far the best ones I've ever gotten.  I recommend scheduling early because they seem to be always be to busy. Read Less
