At first, my partner and I would have given this place 5-stars. After going back for our touch-ups, we will NEVER go here again. The tattoo was originally overpriced, but we weren't surprised by this. In fact one of our friends recommended this place to us... Unfortunately, in our most recent experience the tattoo shading was uneven, lines were not straight, and our artists rushed through the original tattoo because they had b2b appointments. We thought no big deal because they can fix it... well not completely. When my partner and I came in for our touch ups, we were very dissatisfied with a part of the design once it healed. We asked if they could just shade the dime-sized area that we didn't like with black while they were doing the touch up. They said they would charge us $100 each to do this, even though they were already touching up our tattoos. They said it's a new piece on top of the original and it's "store policy" to charge $100 each. After paying $300 each for a tiny tattoo (and tipping the artists each $50), we were not going to pay them another $100 each to fix the part of tattoo design that they drew. In the beginning, they drew it and the tattoo looked better on the iPad. It looked very different on our skin and we were dissatisfied with this small part of the original design. They didn't care and were still going to charge the $100 each. I want to point out that we weren't necessarily upset with having to pay something for the small shading; however, we were upset by their lack of caring and their "take it or leave it attitude" when we told them that we disagreed with having to pay another combined $200 for dime sized shading in the tattoo that we were getting touched up. They said "we guarantee our work and if there's anything you don't like we will fix it during your touch up" when we first got them.  Obviously this wasn't true... Luckily, we did get quoted elsewhere at $50 each to get the shading that you refused to do for less than $100 each despite already having the equipment, needles, ink, etc. out for our touch ups. You literally just lost thousands of dollars of future business because of poor customer service and "store policy". We each have 10 tattoos planned for this year - one of which is a sleeve each. Maybe next time be more customer centric and care more when customers are dissatisfied with the work that they get there. Read Less

I'd been wanting this tattoo for a while but couldn't find anyone who said they could tattoo the small, delicate letters without the ink blending. Heard about Tribe from a friend, and Erik was able to get me in that night. The tattoo seems simple, but few artists can do the clean lines of the tiny lettering like Erik did. I'm stoked at the finished art and can't wait to add more! Also, everyone at the shop was super nice and accommodating! Read Less

They have very poor policies.  I emailed them to make an appointment, they told me to come in on the weekend to do a design.  When I came in for the appointment, we didn't design anything, but was told that John would just do the design the day of the actual tattoo appointment.  I put my $100 deposit down.  I called the week before the actual appointment to see if there was a way to let someone else use my deposit because I wasn't sure if I wanted the tattoo.  I was told that wasn't part of their policy, cause the artist has put time into the design.  When I told them that it hadn't been designed yet, they said that the appointment for the actual tattoo could have been used for booking other people.  They allow you to reschedule whenever though, so it's contradictory to say that the artist is losing out on this if they also allow you to reschedule.  I also called a week in advanced, which seems like plenty of time to find someone else.  I would completely understand if we sat down and did a design of the tattoo, cause the artist needs to get paid for their time and effort, but we didn't.  I ended up losing $100 and didn't receive anything.

I don't even know where to start with this review. I worked exclusively with Violetta but sat with her almost 8 hours one day and interacted with a few of the artists then and I have to say-- this place is probably one of the best in Denver. The artists are so personable and amenable to working with you to come up with your perfect tattoo! The experience from the moment I walked in the first day, to the consult, to the sitting was always professional and comfortable. I haven't finished my tattoo with Violetta yet but I can't wait to sit back down with her and see the finished product! She's so incredibly talented and just so sweet. Don't settle for less-- get your ink done at Tribe. Read Less

After relocating from WI, I researched artists and shops. After reading about John and the shop, stopping in and seeing some of their work firsthand, meeting Connie for a consult; I booked with Connie and have done so 8 more times since. Connie has done 9 small, delicate pieces for me now and all drawn up by hand - tiny tattoos and geometric designs - it's really impressive the detail on such small areas/as well as font/type. I've referred to her based on comments and complements from perfect strangers and friends. The shop itself is incredibly clean. Every time. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming - very come as you are and no judging. I've never felt uncomfortable, even when being topless/semi-covered for a sternum piece. There is street parking all around - it's never been difficult to park. Shop is also easy to find as it's on the street corner. Water is always offered, and shop carries all the after care items you need. Let me also add about Connie. 1. She is absolutely adorable and genuine. 2. Her last name is Eagle Horse. How bada$$ is that??? Like an automatic mic drop. You kinda know she's gonna be good. Read Less

Not the best for piercings. It looked like a very nice clean establishment, my helix piercing was done quickly with little pain till the piercer had to put the ball on and was struggling. She dropped the ball twice getting me a new one each time but for about 20 minutes was continually tugging on my new piercing trying to get the ball on. By time I was done my ear was throbbing and it was swollen around my piercing. My friends was done in less than three minutes. The piercers name was jasmine. Read Less

I have 7 tattoos, getting 1 per year from 2007 to 2012, all in different states from different artists.  After my niece passed away in May 2015, I decided to get my 7th tattoo after my brother and his wife wanted matching tattoos in memory of their daughter.  They came out to visit me in June 2015 and so we looked around to find a tattoo artist.  After a brief search, we decided to go with Ben Granillo because his story was that he liked to work with people and get to know the story.  Although short notice, he got my brother and his wife's tattoos done even though we showed up almost at closing time.  Ben made it a great experience, and I ended up working with him on the one year anniversary of my niece's death to get mine done.  He did an amazing job even through my giggling fits for the 5-6 hours it took to complete.  Although I have multiple tattoos, none of them were swollen quite like this one.  He was kind enough to tell me the signs of it being infected and put up with me sending him photos of the swelling.  I appreciated the additional assistance until the swelling finally went down.

I could not have been more satisfied with my experience here. When I first came to see Tanner, I did not have an easy task for him... I had two awful experiences with the tattoo on my ribcage before I finally found Tanner. Tanner was essentially tasked with putting a cover up tattoo over the cover up that was already there. Before Tanner helped me out, I was incredibly self conscious of my body and never wanted to wear anything that would reveal the tattoo on my ribcage, but Tanner helped me out more than I ever could have hoped for. He was super patient and helpful and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Read Less

The music was upbeat and the studio was very comfortable, which was so nice because it was my friend's first tattoo and the atmosphere helped keep the nerves at bay.

What a great place to have a tattoo done!! From the minute I walked in, Holly was super friendly and made me feel instantly comfortable. Because of the fact I was having a lower stomach tattoo done, I though I would be super uncomfortable all day, but all of the staff was super professional. I came in with a specific design in mind and Connie nailed it!! Not only did she create a drawing from pictures that I put together she had to cover a large scar on my lower stomach. We spent 6 1/2 hours working straight through and it turned out beautifully. I highly recommend Tribe Tattoo, not only for the cleanliness & professionalism but for Connie and her amazing design skill and talent! Read Less

I am a cancer and a bone marrow transplant survivor. Spring 2017 I was diagnosed with a lung illness that has no cure. I decided to cover my entire chest with a meaningful tattoo. I wanted Nicole to tattoo me because I've seen her work and liked it. I contacted Tribe & Nicole and was ready to fly to Denver as soon as I could. There were issues. I didn't know what I wanted and we spent weeks figuring it out. The skin on my chest is severely damaged by radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. We'd have to go slow. All these issues were laid out openly before I flew to Denver. Nicole was willing to work with me.        I flew in for 3 days & got the 1st part of the tattoo. We agreed I'd have to come back to finish another time. My skin was difficult to tattoo and my body couldn't handle more than few hours of tattooing at a time. My skin needed to heal before we proceeded. Nicole and I talked the whole time I was being tattooed. I got a feeling that she wasn't crazy about working at Tribe. She wasn't happy with how things operated and with how much money was taken from artists. She wasn't happy that artists were made to sit at Tribe even when they had no appointments and walk-ins are very rare in that location. I was worried she'd leave Tribe by the time I came back but she assured me that she just moved to Denver and even if she left this shop, she'd still be around. We left on great terms.       Fast forward few months... I am on a trial chemo drug & my lungs stabilized for now. I was flying to Boulder to visit my sister Dec, 2017. I had very little notice and was only there for 4 days. I contacted Nicole to see if she's willing to finish my tattoo or at least touch it up. It badly needed touch up. I was told Nicole left Tribe & she moved to another state. I was shocked. Her style is unique and I wanted her to finish. Touch ups are free from the artist who tattooed you. A different artist would charge more money. Before leaving, I gave Nicole a large tip that we agreed would go partially towards finishing the piece. Because of a large percentage that the owner took from his artists, I was charged less 'officially' but tipped a lot, so more cash would directly go to Nicole. I couldn't believe I'd have no way of getting a free touch up. The tattoo is large and going elsewhere would cost me a lot.       My first instinct was to speak with the owner. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but I didn't know what else to do. I needed some acknowledgement. I wanted to see what happened in cases like these. I just didn't know whom else to call. I had no expectations, but I was upset over this. I asked to speak to the owner, John. I was asked for the reason of my call, so I briefly explained. I was told John would be in tomorrow, so he will call me. Tomorrow came but John didn't call. I called back. Same conversation with a different person. Was asked why I'm calling. I described quickly & was annoyed that I was repeating this. I was again told that John would call me the next day. Next day he didn't call and I was frustrated to say the least. I felt like he was avoiding me & that I didn't matter to him at all, even if I was his customer and he profited from my tattoo. I called again and again. Each time they asked for reason of my call & each time they promised that John would call back. Because I've talked to so many people and had to retell the story, people started getting my words twisted. I got a text message from Nicole one day, "...Tribe just gave me a call to tell me you are demanding free work from them....". The message went on, admonishing me for words I never said. I was stunned. I wanted one thing... for the owner to call me. Acknowledge that what happened to me sucked and just apologize. One lady apologized on John's behalf. She agreed that John was wrong for not taking the time to call me & said that she'd talk to him.        Few days passed when a woman called me. She said she was John's wife and he hasn't been able to call me because he rarely comes to the shop. I thought it odd, as a call can be made from any location nowadays. First and foremost she started explaining that no one will be tattooing me for free. Again, I made it clear that I never asked for that. She was demeaning, rude, sarcastic, and patronizing. She seemed very annoyed to be talking to me. After talking to her, I knew I'd never hear from John. He just doesn't have respect for his clients.       A bit later, the wife calls back saying that some artists volunteered to touch up my tattoo for free. I don't know why after all this an offer for a free touch up was offered to me. I never even asked for it. I said 'no thanks'.        I will never visit this place again. John cares nothing about his artists or the clients who come to his shop. I think to John, its all about greed. People mean nothing.      I got bullying messages from John's wife who called me "crazy", "ungrateful" &  "delusional" after this review was posted. Read Less

Wonderful experience at Tribe Tattoo this past Saturday.  This was what people tell me is my "first" tattoo. My friends with tattoos seem to think I won't be able to stop at one, lol! Kevin Seawall was my artist, and I love, love, love my tattoo. The design he came up with, after looking at the references and descriptions I sent, resonated with me so completely! And the result is wonderful; such great detail, the colors are rich, the shading fantastic. Kevin was wonderful to work with; he clearly loves what he is doing, and takes great care.The shop itself is a fun and relaxing place to be. Super clean, safety protocol is absolutely followed, and the atmosphere is great. The artists seem relaxed and friendly not just with customers but with each other, which is always a good sign.

Seriously can't say enough praise about Tribe Tattoo 🙌🏻 I had such a great experience from the moment I walked in - everyone was not only helpful but incredibly friendly and the overall atmosphere was really fun while I waited. I walked in for my first tattoo, and even though I came in nervous with a ton of scattered ideas/pictures, Ben worked with me to sketch and plan out a tattoo perfect to all of my requests (even though I was a overly particular pain in the ass 🙂) I left with a GORGEOUS tattoo and happier than I could have imagined. Thanks Ben and Tribe! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Denver. Read Less

My husband and I came here to get tattoos- seconds for each of us, first time here.Our artists were Connie and Nicole who both do excellent work. My husband's tattoo was done by Connie and is a blacked out eagle, globe and anchor (USMC) tattoo which came out great. Connie does great line work and did an awesome job on his. The placement is perfect and the size for his arm is ideal; she had a couple different sizes stenciled out which was nice because we were able to see what worked best for his arm size.My tattoo that was done by Nicole and is a small forearm black piece that is the perfect minimalist design I was after. Her suggestion on placement was spot on.  I will continue to see her in the future for some other ideas I have.I think you are in good hands with all of the artists here. During my husband's session a few oft the other artists were checking in, looking at the work done, which is cool because you can tell hey have a good work environment here where everyone is collaborative on the work going on. That tells me this is a great shop in terms of custom work because they can put their heads together if needed and come up with something awesome for you. Scheduling with Holly is a breeze and they are very accommodating schedule wise. I really like this place and will recommend to my family and friends. Sister and I will probably make a visit to here on her next visit to Denver to get some sissy tattoos. :-) Read Less

Yesterday, I got my first tattoo done by Ben and I couldn't be happier. The parlor is clean and well run. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. They truly care about their customers and run a quality establishment. I felt comfortable the moment I walked in. I walked in without an appointment and Ben was there and open for the next hour. He sat down with me and discussed my design. Even better, he gave me feedback and told me what would work well and what he would recommend. His advice was excellent and top notch. He ended up simplifying my design into a more cohesive piece. He looked online and found better options for my idea and then created something that was unique and perfect for what I wanted. He was kind, funny, and a pleasure to work with. In all, I spent 2 hours in the shop creating my design and then getting it tattooed (45 minutes). I will definitely go back to see Ben, again!

Tribe Tattoo is the best all arounf shop that you have in the metro area. All piercings can be done, and no tattoo will go untouched. If you've gone to a shop and tried to pay for something for $50 and it came out bad, have John or Joe fix or cover it up for you.

The friendliest service in the metro area, and a 100% full custom shop. You won't be over charged, you will not get bad work, you will have the friendliness you expect at any business you walk into, and most importantly an environment that is cleaner than 99% of all hospitals in the metro area.

At first, my partner and I would have given this place 5-stars. After going back for our touch-ups, we will NEVER go here again. The tattoo was originally overpriced, but we weren't surprised by this. In fact one of our friends recommended this place to us... Unfortunately, in our most recent experience the tattoo shading was uneven, lines were not straight, and our artists rushed through the original tattoo because they had b2b appointments. We thought no big deal because they can fix it... well not completely. When my partner and I came in for our touch ups, we were very dissatisfied with a part of the design once it healed. We asked if they could just shade the dime-sized area that we didn't like with black while they were doing the touch up. They said they would charge us $100 each to do this, even though they were already touching up our tattoos. They said it's a new piece on top of the original and it's "store policy" to charge $100 each. After paying $300 each for a tiny tattoo (and tipping the artists each $50), we were not going to pay them another $100 each to fix the part of tattoo design that they drew. In the beginning, they drew it and the tattoo looked better on the iPad. It looked very different on our skin and we were dissatisfied with this small part of the original design. They didn't care and were still going to charge the $100 each. I want to point out that we weren't necessarily upset with having to pay something for the small shading; however, we were upset by their lack of caring and their "take it or leave it attitude" when we told them that we disagreed with having to pay another combined $200 for dime sized shading in the tattoo that we were getting touched up. They said "we guarantee our work and if there's anything you don't like we will fix it during your touch up" when we first got them.  Obviously this wasn't true... Luckily, we did get quoted elsewhere at $50 each to get the shading that you refused to do for less than $100 each despite already having the equipment, needles, ink, etc. out for our touch ups. You literally just lost thousands of dollars of future business because of poor customer service and "store policy". We each have 10 tattoos planned for this year - one of which is a sleeve each. Maybe next time be more customer centric and care more when customers are dissatisfied with the work that they get there. Read Less

They have very poor policies.  I emailed them to make an appointment, they told me to come in on the weekend to do a design.  When I came in for the appointment, we didn't design anything, but was told that John would just do the design the day of the actual tattoo appointment.  I put my $100 deposit down.  I called the week before the actual appointment to see if there was a way to let someone else use my deposit because I wasn't sure if I wanted the tattoo.  I was told that wasn't part of their policy, cause the artist has put time into the design.  When I told them that it hadn't been designed yet, they said that the appointment for the actual tattoo could have been used for booking other people.  They allow you to reschedule whenever though, so it's contradictory to say that the artist is losing out on this if they also allow you to reschedule.  I also called a week in advanced, which seems like plenty of time to find someone else.  I would completely understand if we sat down and did a design of the tattoo, cause the artist needs to get paid for their time and effort, but we didn't.  I ended up losing $100 and didn't receive anything.

After relocating from WI, I researched artists and shops. After reading about John and the shop, stopping in and seeing some of their work firsthand, meeting Connie for a consult; I booked with Connie and have done so 8 more times since. Connie has done 9 small, delicate pieces for me now and all drawn up by hand - tiny tattoos and geometric designs - it's really impressive the detail on such small areas/as well as font/type. I've referred to her based on comments and complements from perfect strangers and friends. The shop itself is incredibly clean. Every time. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming - very come as you are and no judging. I've never felt uncomfortable, even when being topless/semi-covered for a sternum piece. There is street parking all around - it's never been difficult to park. Shop is also easy to find as it's on the street corner. Water is always offered, and shop carries all the after care items you need. Let me also add about Connie. 1. She is absolutely adorable and genuine. 2. Her last name is Eagle Horse.

I have 7 tattoos, getting 1 per year from 2007 to 2012, all in different states from different artists.  After my niece passed away in May 2015, I decided to get my 7th tattoo after my brother and his wife wanted matching tattoos in memory of their daughter.  They came out to visit me in June 2015 and so we looked around to find a tattoo artist.  After a brief search, we decided to go with Ben Granillo because his story was that he liked to work with people and get to know the story.  Although short notice, he got my brother and his wife's tattoos done even though we showed up almost at closing time.  Ben made it a great experience, and I ended up working with him on the one year anniversary of my niece's death to get mine done.  He did an amazing job even through my giggling fits for the 5-6 hours it took to complete.  Although I have multiple tattoos, none of them were swollen quite like this one.  He was kind enough to tell me the signs of it being infected and put up with me sending him photos of the swelling.  I appreciated the additional assistance until the swelling finally went down.

It came out way better than I had hoped and it is a very meaningful piece for me. I will 100% go back to Ben for more! We are even going to expand this recent tattoo. His ideas are on point and he is also the man! Big fan of Ben and the Tribe Tattoo team! Read Less

I could not have been more satisfied with my experience here. When I first came to see Tanner, I did not have an easy task for him... I had two awful experiences with the tattoo on my ribcage before I finally found Tanner. Tanner was essentially tasked with putting a cover up tattoo over the cover up that was already there. Before Tanner helped me out, I was incredibly self conscious of my body and never wanted to wear anything that would reveal the tattoo on my ribcage, but Tanner helped me out more than I ever could have hoped for. He was super patient and helpful and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Read Less

What a great place to have a tattoo done!! From the minute I walked in, Holly was super friendly and made me feel instantly comfortable. Because of the fact I was having a lower stomach tattoo done, I though I would be super uncomfortable all day, but all of the staff was super professional. I came in with a specific design in mind and Connie nailed it!! Not only did she create a drawing from pictures that I put together she had to cover a large scar on my lower stomach. We spent 6 1/2 hours working straight through and it turned out beautifully. I highly recommend Tribe Tattoo, not only for the cleanliness & professionalism but for Connie and her amazing design skill and talent! Read Less

I am a cancer and a bone marrow transplant survivor. Spring 2017 I was diagnosed with a lung illness that has no cure. I decided to cover my entire chest with a meaningful tattoo. I wanted Nicole to tattoo me because I've seen her work and liked it. I contacted Tribe & Nicole and was ready to fly to Denver as soon as I could. There were issues. I didn't know what I wanted and we spent weeks figuring it out. The skin on my chest is severely damaged by radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. We'd have to go slow. All these issues were laid out openly before I flew to Denver. Nicole was willing to work with me.        I flew in for 3 days & got the 1st part of the tattoo. We agreed I'd have to come back to finish another time. My skin was difficult to tattoo and my body couldn't handle more than few hours of tattooing at a time. My skin needed to heal before we proceeded. Nicole and I talked the whole time I was being tattooed. I got a feeling that she wasn't crazy about working at Tribe. She wasn't happy with how things operated and with how much money was taken from artists. She wasn't happy that artists were made to sit at Tribe even when they had no appointments and walk-ins are very rare in that location. I was worried she'd leave Tribe by the time I came back but she assured me that she just moved to Denver and even if she left this shop, she'd still be around. We left on great terms.       Fast forward few months... I am on a trial chemo drug & my lungs stabilized for now. I was flying to Boulder to visit my sister Dec, 2017. I had very little notice and was only there for 4 days. I contacted Nicole to see if she's willing to finish my tattoo or at least touch it up. It badly needed touch up. I was told Nicole left Tribe & she moved to another state. I was shocked. Her style is unique and I wanted her to finish. Touch ups are free from the artist who tattooed you. A different artist would charge more money. Before leaving, I gave Nicole a large tip that we agreed would go partially towards finishing the piece. Because of a large percentage that the owner took from his artists, I was charged less 'officially' but tipped a lot, so more cash would directly go to Nicole. I couldn't believe I'd have no way of getting a free touch up. The tattoo is large and going elsewhere would cost me a lot.       My first instinct was to speak with the owner. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but I didn't know what else to do. I needed some acknowledgement. I wanted to see what happened in cases like these. I just didn't know whom else to call. I had no expectations, but I was upset over this. I asked to speak to the owner, John. I was asked for the reason of my call, so I briefly explained. I was told John would be in tomorrow, so he will call me. Tomorrow came but John didn't call. I called back. Same conversation with a different person. Was asked why I'm calling. I described quickly & was annoyed that I was repeating this. I was again told that John would call me the next day. Next day he didn't call and I was frustrated to say the least. I felt like he was avoiding me & that I didn't matter to him at all, even if I was his customer and he profited from my tattoo. I called again and again. Each time they asked for reason of my call & each time they promised that John would call back. Because I've talked to so many people and had to retell the story, people started getting my words twisted. I got a text message from Nicole one day, "...Tribe just gave me a call to tell me you are demanding free work from them....". The message went on, admonishing me for words I never said. I was stunned. I wanted one thing... for the owner to call me. Acknowledge that what happened to me sucked and just apologize. One lady apologized on John's behalf. She agreed that John was wrong for not taking the time to call me & said that she'd talk to him.        Few days passed when a woman called me. She said she was John's wife and he hasn't been able to call me because he rarely comes to the shop. I thought it odd, as a call can be made from any location nowadays. First and foremost she started explaining that no one will be tattooing me for free. Again, I made it clear that I never asked for that. She was demeaning, rude, sarcastic, and patronizing. She seemed very annoyed to be talking to me. After talking to her, I knew I'd never hear from John. He just doesn't have respect for his clients.       A bit later, the wife calls back saying that some artists volunteered to touch up my tattoo for free. I don't know why after all this an offer for a free touch up was offered to me. I never even asked for it. I said 'no thanks'.        I will never visit this place again. John cares nothing about his artists or the clients who come to his shop. I think to John, its all about greed. People mean nothing.      I got bullying messages from John's wife who called me "crazy", "ungrateful" &  "delusional" after this review was posted. Read Less

My husband and I came here to get tattoos- seconds for each of us, first time here.Our artists were Connie and Nicole who both do excellent work. My husband's tattoo was done by Connie and is a blacked out eagle, globe and anchor (USMC) tattoo which came out great. Connie does great line work and did an awesome job on his. The placement is perfect and the size for his arm is ideal; she had a couple different sizes stenciled out which was nice because we were able to see what worked best for his arm size.My tattoo that was done by Nicole and is a small forearm black piece that is the perfect minimalist design I was after. Her suggestion on placement was spot on.  I will continue to see her in the future for some other ideas I have.I think you are in good hands with all of the artists here. During my husband's session a few oft the other artists were checking in, looking at the work done, which is cool because you can tell hey have a good work environment here where everyone is collaborative on the work going on. That tells me this is a great shop in terms of custom work because they can put their heads together if needed and come up with something awesome for you. Scheduling with Holly is a breeze and they are very accommodating schedule wise. I really like this place and will recommend to my family and friends. Sister and I will probably make a visit to here on her next visit to Denver to get some sissy tattoos. :-) Read Less

He ended up simplifying my design into a more cohesive piece. He looked online and found better options for my idea and then created something that was unique and perfect for what I wanted. He was kind, funny, and a pleasure to work with. In all, I spent 2 hours in the shop creating my design and then getting it tattooed (45 minutes). I will definitely go back to see Ben, again!

""Graelston (false)"" vs. ""graelston (true)"" i just logged into my facebook today, and saw that i had apparently left a good comment for tribe tattoo. i was immediately infuriated, as this meant i had either been hacked, or someone i used to work with stole my picture and screen name, and wrote this review for me. as a former employee, i cant say i'd ever recommend anyone to go to tribe. i have never been so badly treated as an employee anywhere i'd ever worked, especially for under the table wages. still looking for my tax papers from last year, slaughter...

Its been around a while but that doesnt mean they do good work. The owner is not a very ethical person at all, which forces away anybody of talent thats ever worked there over the years, leaving him to employ inexperiened individuals who, more than likely, couldnt get a job elsewhere. Just one mans opinion, but I would definetly go eslse where, especially since theres four other shops just blocks away Read Less

i've been a client at tribe tattoo for going on almost 9 years now, and this is by far and away the best shop i've been to. ever. there are many reasons why i've come to tribe tattoo over the years, but the fact remains: this is the cleanest shop i've ever been to, the set up is nicely eclectic, and simply- they have the best staff i've encountered. Joe Miller is my personal tattoo artist, and i will never, NEVER change artists, or shops. Read Less

Tribe Tattoo is the best all arounf shop that you have in the metro area. All piercings can be done, and no tattoo will go untouched. If you've gone to a shop and tried to pay for something for $50 and it came out bad, have John or Joe fix or cover it up for you. Other shops in Denver that have been around for the same 9 years Tribe has, have either faltered or have closed up. Tribe Tattoo stands tall and will do so for years to come. The friendliest service in the metro area, and a 100% full custom shop. You won't be over charged, you will not get bad work, you will have the friendliness you expect at any business you walk into, and most importantly an environment that is cleaner than 99% of all hospitals in the metro area. Take a friend. Sit on the couch, talk shop, watch some TV, but most of all, go for the best work in the area HANDS DOWN. I would give 10 stars, but I can't. Read Less

I went out to Denver for a small vacation with a friend. We decided to go get Tattoos and I had found Tribe Tattoo online and thought it was a good place. All I wanted to get was the first two bars of a song that means a lot to me. We went in and found out they were booked up for the day, but they were able to squeeze us in. It was our last day there, I will say that was very nice of them. Anyways, John did my friends and mine tattoo. It looked nice from a far and didn't think to look up close because it was a simple design. We got to the hotel to find out that the notes are wrong and im missing two of the three sharp notes and didnt close the bars. DONT GO TO TRIBE!!! Read Less
