My go to shop in Colorado Springs. All the artists are cool and good at their jobs, but I've only been tattooed by Squiggz. Super dope artist who is amazing at his job. Whether you want a piece stenciled on or drawn on, he can do it all. Especially amazing when it comes to shading and defining black lines. I've had a lot of bad projects done elsewhere fixed by him due to his great ability with tattooing precise lines. Shop is always clean and full of people. Music selection is always diverse and good imo. The shop is pretty small so prepare to feel a little cramped but I can't complain too much. The worst thing about the shop is that it's located in a very touristed location in old Colorado City, and finding parking is a pain in the a$$. I've had to park blocks away sometimes because the parking situation is horrible..... but you can't blame the shop for that. Pricing is fair for what it is.. I've come to expect 100$/ hour. There are a lot of things in life you can and should be cheap with, but tattoos are not one of them. Going cheap with tattoos will either leave you with a disease, or a crappy tattoo you have to live with for the rest of your life, or pay even more money to fix. Go to these guys, they are great. Saving money as I speak to go back for new projects. 4.8/5

Talk about the ultimate experience! I walked into the studio with ideas but no real plan for a sleeve. Gary took my ideas and transformed them into a sleeve and I love every single aspect of it. Doing a sleeve takes some time and the journey was just as special as the final product. His space is clean, relaxing and I felt at home. The quality of his work and his attention to detail is outstanding. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't complement me on his work and stop me to admire it. By far one of the greatest decisions I have made is to have Gary be the one to take my thoughts and make then reality. I'm not sure what my next piece will be yet but I am sure where I will have it done and who will be doing it!

I love this place! I waited a little over a month to get in my appointment with Austin, but it was so worth the wait! I wanted a half-sleeve with a sunflower and roses as well as butterfly stemming onto my back! It was perfect! More than I even expected! Highly recommend! The studio is super clean and the professionalism of all the artists makes you feel so comfortable! This was my second tattoo and I will definitely be back for more! If you guys hit up Steadfast ask for Austin! He is awesome! You won't regret it!

Austin was just great. I came in and discussed my idea with him and when I came back he had a picture drawn up; I wanted the size a bit larger and he was able to resize and draw it before we began on the tattoo. We were able to finish things up in one session and we was personable and quite adept in his work. Squiggz was working next to us and he also seemed quite friendly and it made for a great atmosphere while getting my first tattoo. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I have a 10+ year old lotus flower tattoo on my back that needed some work. I wanted brighter, bolder color, better lines, and an artistic/creative touch. After doing some research, I found Steadfast Tattoo Studio and made a consultation with Nikki. SMARTEST DECISION EVER! The studio is impeccably clean, professional, and has great energy. Nikki made me love my tattoo again and she is a blessing to work with. I had to reschedule my appointments several times and each time Nikki was quick to respond and accommodate my ridiculous schedule. Steadfast will be my choice tattoo studio as long as I'm in the Springs. Highly recommend!

I researched studios in CO looking for one that would ink my 16 year old. After careful research I chose Steadfast Tattoo. I worked with Austin over texts and when we arrived for our appointment he was ready for us. He was very diligent about age verification and making sure I was the actual parent. We brought every piece of paperwork he asked for and it was smooth sailing. He worked with my daughter on the designs and printed stencils. Made sure everything was perfect. He was fun, polite, respectful and an all around great guy. He ended up doing two tattoos on my daughter and I wish he was closer (we are from Minnesota) so that we could use him all the time. Before and after the tattooing he spent time going over after care, and making sure she was mentally ready for what came with getting a tattoo on your rib cage! Nikki and Savage were in the shop while Austin was working on my daughter. They were clearly dedicated to their business and their customers. They were fun and engaging as well. The place was spotless and I felt like we would be in great hands with any artist that works there. Total and complete thumbs up for STEADFAST TATTOO!

Austin was very helpful and he really pays attention to detail. He was working with my budget and I couldn't be any happier. This will definitely be my go-to tattoo shop in Colorado Springs! I was super happy with how my tattoo turned out and Austin is really understanding with my budget. I feel like they price their artwork very fairly. Austin contacted me pretty quickly and I was impressed. Before my tattoo Austin made sure I was aware all the needles and his supplies were sanitary and sterilized. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and you get that good vibe. I felt really comfortable. Thanks to all the wonderful artists here!

Steadfast is amazing. I work with Savage mainly but every single artist in that studio has amazing talent and does unimaginable work. If you're going for a tattoo, be prepared for not just a great tattoo, but an amazing experience. The environment in the shop is entertaining. I think it's also important to be able to trust your artist. All of the work that I've seen in this shop has been 100 percent. They put their hearts into the work they do and that has earned them trust and respect. If you're looking for the best place in Colorado Springs to get a tattoo, it's here!!

Amazing shop and fantastic atmosphere. Savage worked with me, listened, provided feedback and options, gave his input, and just generally made it a great experience from the consult to the finished product. He took his time and really cared about his art instead of rushing to get to the next client. These people care as much about your tattoo as you do and truly take pride in their artwork while taking care of the client and their wants/needs. I can't say enough to convey just how amazing my experience with this shop was, I will definitely be returning.

Gary at Steadfast is an amazing artist!! He does not rush his work no matter how big or small the tattoo is. He treats everyone with respect and genuine care and concern. He also takes extreme care in making sure he and his staff follow safety procedures. I have had bad experiences in the past with tattoo artists and I was hesitant to step back into a tattoo parlor. Gary was patient and kind and eased all concerns and worries. Not only is his work my favorite, I had him touch up the work of other artists. I'm a client for life!I also interacted with Nikki who was just as passionate about tattooing. I have seen her work and you can't go wrong picking either one of them for your next masterpiece!

My experience here was amazing! I went to Austin with a very specific tattoo in mind and some pictures and he nailed it! Austin is an extremely talented artist and I would recommend him to anyone. He works meticulously and takes great pride in his work. I've waited a very long time to get this tattoo and I'm glad I trusted the job to Austin. And from what I saw while there the whole crew at Steadfast will go above and beyond to create the perfect tattoo for you. Their thought process and detail before, during and after is what makes each tattoo special. You cannot go wrong with this studio. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Thanks Austin for this amazing piece of art. I will wear it proudly!

Gary and Nikki are great. I received my tattoo from Nikki and it turned out fantastic. Mind you it was a cover up and it was awesome can't even see the old tat. Both Gary and Nikki are very passionate about their work and take pride in what they do. They make sure you are getting exactly what you want and take the time to explain the details of your tattoo to you. I witnessed several clients come in and want a quick tattoo. There is no such thing as a quick tattoo unless you want crap and they will not give it to you. Make a consultation appointment figure out what you want and set a date to get it done. Don't come in and expect to get a big elaborate piece now because most likely these artists are busy with their appointments and would love for you to make one too. Top artists great place honest and quality. Remember you get what you pay for.

My boyfriend and I went into their shop expecting it to be like every other shop, sterile, non-customer friendly, and basically just have a bunch of artists not really giving a crap just looking for our money. But we were wrong! Steadfast was decorated so that we were comfortable and not intimidated and their employee's surprised us by being super friendly, cooperative, and caring. They listened to what we wanted for our tattoos and did a fantastic job. Both of our pieces are solid and what I would consider to be perfect. If I could I would hug all of them for the great work they did!

My mom and I decided last minute to get a tattoo while we were here on vacation. We called Steadfast and Nikki accommodated us walking in. She was amazing and professional. She has amazing talent as well. She gave us some suggestions for our tattoos so they would be better than we originally planned. Thank you Nikki for having us and being an amazing artist!

Talk about the ultimate experience! I walked into the studio with ideas but no real plan for a sleeve. Gary took my ideas and transformed them into a sleeve and I love every single aspect of it. Doing a sleeve takes some time and the journey was just as special as the final product. His space is clean, relaxing and I felt at home. The quality of his work and his attention to detail is outstanding. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't complement me on his work and stop me to admire it. By far one of the greatest decisions I have made is to have Gary be the one to take my thoughts and make then reality. I'm not sure what my next piece will be yet but I am sure where I will have it done and who will be doing it!

I love this place! I waited a little over a month to get in my appointment with Austin, but it was so worth the wait! I wanted a half-sleeve with a sunflower and roses as well as butterfly stemming onto my back! It was perfect! More than I even expected! Highly recommend! The studio is super clean and the professionalism of all the artists makes you feel so comfortable! This was my second tattoo and I will definitely be back for more! If you guys hit up Steadfast ask for Austin! He is awesome! You won't regret it!

Austin was just great. I came in and discussed my idea with him and when I came back he had a picture drawn up; I wanted the size a bit larger and he was able to resize and draw it before we began on the tattoo. We were able to finish things up in one session and we was personable and quite adept in his work. Squiggz was working next to us and he also seemed quite friendly and it made for a great atmosphere while getting my first tattoo. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Just finished my second session with Gary (Savage) and I continue to be blown away with his work! He is a crazy talented artist and a super nice guy. In fact, everything about Steadfast is just flat-out awesome...ultra clean, chill, and the rest of the artists are amazing too. You can tell that they all really enjoy what they do and it makes for a great experience. I'll never go anywhere else!

I have a 10+ year old lotus flower tattoo on my back that needed some work. I wanted brighter, bolder color, better lines, and an artistic/creative touch. After doing some research, I found Steadfast Tattoo Studio and made a consultation with Nikki. SMARTEST DECISION EVER! The studio is impeccably clean, professional, and has great energy. Nikki made me love my tattoo again and she is a blessing to work with. I had to reschedule my appointments several times and each time Nikki was quick to respond and accommodate my ridiculous schedule. Steadfast will be my choice tattoo studio as long as I'm in the Springs. Highly recommend!

Are you ready to sit back and have your mind blown with some crazy ass spectacular ink injected into your epidermis to form what will be know the rest of your life as a living breathing embodiment of radiance itself? Get your life together and come see these illusionists of ink, these sorcerers of skin, these occultists of your outer layers. Buckle up buttercups cuz they got no time for bitches so bring your big boy pants and get some magic.

Jaime Faith did an excellent job. Took my weird idea and made it something beautiful and feminine. She took her time, was gentle, and was very patient even though I asked to try the outline in multiple positions on my arm. Tattoo is now healing very easily.Shop has a great atmosphere, very clean and professional feel.

I researched studios in CO looking for one that would ink my 16 year old. After careful research I chose Steadfast Tattoo. I worked with Austin over texts and when we arrived for our appointment he was ready for us. He was very diligent about age verification and making sure I was the actual parent. We brought every piece of paperwork he asked for and it was smooth sailing. He worked with my daughter on the designs and printed stencils. Made sure everything was perfect. He was fun, polite, respectful and an all around great guy. He ended up doing two tattoos on my daughter and I wish he was closer (we are from Minnesota) so that we could use him all the time. Before and after the tattooing he spent time going over after care, and making sure she was mentally ready for what came with getting a tattoo on your rib cage! Nikki and Savage were in the shop while Austin was working on my daughter. They were clearly dedicated to their business and their customers. They were fun and engaging as well. The place was spotless and I felt like we would be in great hands with any artist that works there. Total and complete thumbs up for STEADFAST TATTOO!

Austin was very helpful and he really pays attention to detail. He was working with my budget and I couldn't be any happier. This will definitely be my go-to tattoo shop in Colorado Springs! I was super happy with how my tattoo turned out and Austin is really understanding with my budget. I feel like they price their artwork very fairly. Austin contacted me pretty quickly and I was impressed. Before my tattoo Austin made sure I was aware all the needles and his supplies were sanitary and sterilized. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and you get that good vibe. I felt really comfortable. Thanks to all the wonderful artists here!

Steadfast is amazing. I work with Savage mainly but every single artist in that studio has amazing talent and does unimaginable work. If you're going for a tattoo, be prepared for not just a great tattoo, but an amazing experience. The environment in the shop is entertaining. I think it's also important to be able to trust your artist. All of the work that I've seen in this shop has been 100 percent. They put their hearts into the work they do and that has earned them trust and respect. If you're looking for the best place in Colorado Springs to get a tattoo, it's here!!

Amazing shop and fantastic atmosphere. Savage worked with me, listened, provided feedback and options, gave his input, and just generally made it a great experience from the consult to the finished product. He took his time and really cared about his art instead of rushing to get to the next client. These people care as much about your tattoo as you do and truly take pride in their artwork while taking care of the client and their wants/needs. I can't say enough to convey just how amazing my experience with this shop was, I will definitely be returning.

Gary at Steadfast is an amazing artist!! He does not rush his work no matter how big or small the tattoo is. He treats everyone with respect and genuine care and concern. He also takes extreme care in making sure he and his staff follow safety procedures. I have had bad experiences in the past with tattoo artists and I was hesitant to step back into a tattoo parlor. Gary was patient and kind and eased all concerns and worries. Not only is his work my favorite, I had him touch up the work of other artists. I'm a client for life!I also interacted with Nikki who was just as passionate about tattooing. I have seen her work and you can't go wrong picking either one of them for your next masterpiece!

My experience here was amazing! I went to Austin with a very specific tattoo in mind and some pictures and he nailed it! Austin is an extremely talented artist and I would recommend him to anyone. He works meticulously and takes great pride in his work. I've waited a very long time to get this tattoo and I'm glad I trusted the job to Austin. And from what I saw while there the whole crew at Steadfast will go above and beyond to create the perfect tattoo for you. Their thought process and detail before, during and after is what makes each tattoo special. You cannot go wrong with this studio. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Thanks Austin for this amazing piece of art. I will wear it proudly!

Gary and Nikki are great. I received my tattoo from Nikki and it turned out fantastic. Mind you it was a cover up and it was awesome can't even see the old tat. Both Gary and Nikki are very passionate about their work and take pride in what they do. They make sure you are getting exactly what you want and take the time to explain the details of your tattoo to you. I witnessed several clients come in and want a quick tattoo. There is no such thing as a quick tattoo unless you want crap and they will not give it to you. Make a consultation appointment figure out what you want and set a date to get it done. Don't come in and expect to get a big elaborate piece now because most likely these artists are busy with their appointments and would love for you to make one too. Top artists great place honest and quality. Remember you get what you pay for.

I have been blown away with the artists at Steadfast Tattoo. It's so refreshing to work with someone so passionate about what they do and Gary and Nikki are just that. They know their industry inside and out and share their knowledge in such a humble way, you respect them instantly. They are constantly striving to offer the best in customer service, and I have never seen them fail! The artwork from the artists is more than impressive--I've never known such talent or been so honored to wear it. I'm grateful to have been referred to Steadfast and now get to share their name with everyone I know!

My boyfriend and I went into their shop expecting it to be like every other shop, sterile, non-customer friendly, and basically just have a bunch of artists not really giving a crap just looking for our money. But we were wrong! Steadfast was decorated so that we were comfortable and not intimidated and their employee's surprised us by being super friendly, cooperative, and caring. They listened to what we wanted for our tattoos and did a fantastic job. Both of our pieces are solid and what I would consider to be perfect. If I could I would hug all of them for the great work they did!

Squiggz did my TARDIS on my neck and I am absolutely in love with it! The quality of work and attention to the small detail is great! Nikki, Gary and Squiggz are all wonderful people. Never made me feel silly if I asked an obvious question and encouraged me to come back with any concerns I had as well. I plan on spending as much time there was I possibly can getting all the tattoos I've been wanting to get. I'm extremely pleased to have found such a wonderful place to go to, after so long of not being able to find the perfect tattoo parlor!
