Julie was awesome! I changed a few things at the last minute, and it took us a few tries to get the placent right. She just kept telling me to take my time and get it right. She spent three hours on my tat, and the conversation just flowed. When she was done, it was EXACTLY how I wanted it. I am so beyond impressed with her work, and couldn’t be happier with my new tattoo. Read Less

Derek is my artist and he’s pretty dope! I came in because I had gone to another shop and didn’t appreciate the poor customer service. Told Derek what I wanted and he was on it quick. I got a half sleeve done and I’m pretty satisfied with the work. He’s detailed and really smooth with the needle. I would highly recommend going to Celebrity. Read Less

I've been a customer of Celebrity Tattoo for longer than I'll admit. The staff is always friendly. The prices are reasonable and the artists have talent. I'm a piercing guy, ten so far, but I've seen the tattoos. NICE! No matter what you're there for, you won't be disappointed. Give 'em a go. I updated six pieces today and I'm not done yet. Read Less

Over the years I've gotten a few tattoos at Celebrity Tattoo all of them are absolutely beautiful I love them! my newest is pictured below (blood splatter orchids done by Anthony) I have to go back in and get the white touched up but I love them and get compliments on them all the time! I definitely plan on coming again! 5 stars Read Less

Super friend staff. This was my first tattoo and the team here was great. Julie my artist was amazing. She explained everything and did a great job. The shop was clean. The only complaint I have would be the music selection but I am not going to ding them for it. Read Less

Went in for a daith piercing today and Victoria was fantastic. She asked if it was looks or if I was doing as a migraine treatment. I told her it was for migraine treatment. She was very informative and talked to me and my friend the whole time. As soon as it was finished I felt instant migraine relief. Thank you for the awesome and friendly service!!! Read Less

Came here to get my daughter's lip pierced and I got a tattoo from Derek. He was super friendly and down for my little simple tattoo. Gave his thoughts about the size being too small which I totally respect. My simple gummy bear came out perfect. Thank you Read Less

Some of us lack artistry and have these wild ideas of how to put our soul on display. Julie listened to me, looked at some references, and came up with something dope and I could tell she had fun doing it too! The end result didn't look like what I pictured in my head, but I couldn't be happier and I'm proud to wear it. The shop was clean, staff were fun and interactive, and I had a blast working with Julie. 12/10, would do again!! Thanks, Julie! Read Less

I went in to get a Marylin piercing and I enjoyed the service Julie was up front and very kind and helpful while I waited and even answered some questions I had about tattoos. When it was my turn, Jasmine was very welcoming and helpful! She talked to me about my favorite bands and things to help keep me calm since it was my first lip piercing, which helped a lot. The outcome of my piercing has left me very satisfied and I enjoy the company as well! Read Less

Julie has done all of my son's memorial tattoos, she spent a lot of time making sure that they were what I wanted and made some wonderful suggestions as I had a hard time making a decision on some of them and let me take a few minutes when I needed. I am anxiously waiting for my appointment with her tomorrow. I will not go to anyone to anyone else. Read Less

Great place to get a tattoo! I got my first tattoo here and it was an awesome experience. They really work with you and try to make it as good of an experience as possible. Julie is a great tattoo artist with great line work who'll make sure you leave happy with your tattoo. She let's you take breaks and is super understanding and overall just fun to work with. Great shop, definitely coming back it the future! Read Less

I went in on a whim one night but I knew what I wanted. I got a very personal tattoo done from a picture and I wanted it to be great. I met Derek and he hooked me up. The tattoo looks better than i could of expected. I am very grateful he took the time and made sure it was right. I highly highly suggest this shop for tattoo and Derek is my guy if you want him. He did a great job and I am getting compliments left and right about it. I am very pleased with the shop overall and him as an artist. Read Less

Came in for a memorial tattoo for my father, they were awesome. Not only did Teodora do an awesome job with drawing up my idea of what I wanted but she did a terrific job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get work done! Can’t wait to come back for color to finish it up! Read Less

I have had several Tattoo's done at the Lakewood location and every time I go I am treated with the utmost respect by the Artists on hand. Last time I was in I had Julie and she worked with me to achieve the design I wanted. I can't say enough good things about Celebrity Tattoo! 5 star rating..... Read Less

Family oriented shop. Great for simply getting your ears pierced by a professional that definitely knows what they are doing. Very clean and hygienic... didn't even hurt. Highly recommend them! Ask for Jasmine...she does a great job. Read Less

My friend and I came in with our little babies and the staff didn’t mind at all. They were so friendly and everyone was very knowledgeable letting my friend and I know about the tattoo/ placement of what we were getting and how it would turn out. Teodora did my tattoo and she did AMAZING! I let her know what I would want to do next with it at a later date and she made sure everything would flow and still look nice when I added to it. I’ve gotten all of my tattoos and piercings at celebrity and I don’t plan on stopping! These guys and gals are always the best! Read Less

My husband and I came in as walk-ins which we were kinda nervous about because we'd gone to a tattoo shop closer to our house earlier in the day.. And they wouldn't take us. So when we came into Celebrity tattoo, they welcomed us both to get our tattoo's done right away! Norman was my artist and his vibe is so chill. He had my sketch done right away and I loved it! Now I have a beautiful tattoo that I am so very excited about. I'm in love with it, and we will only come here for the rest of our work <3 Thank you Read Less

I like this place alot. The artist Julie took a lot of time working with me she asked me a lot of questions about what I wanted was actually about hearing what I had In mind took her time looking at pictures trying to help with my brain thought we talked about a lot of stuff while she spent the time on my arm we had a great convo about our life stories lol short but fun I would definitely come back here and let julie and other artists work on me and finish what I have in mind Read Less

Walked in yesterday (Sunday) and showed Norman the picture of the tattoo that I wanted he took it to the back and made it his own. Norman did a great job definitely will go back when I'm ready for another tattoo. Thanks Norman keep up the good work. Read Less

They are amazing! Rachel did my nipple piercings and was professional, friendly and made sure it was done right. And Sarah did me and my girlfriends tattoos, and they were what we wanted and were spot on, and turned out better that we could have imagined. If your looking for quality and professionals, celebrity is your place Read Less

I have had my nose and cupid's bow pierced by Rachael, and those healed perfectly. The piercings were a standard price and they had lots of jewelry to choose from. The piercing room is intimate, clean, and comfortable. I've also been tattooed here with a friend, and we were tattooed by Fish and Monica. We love our tattoos and I'm scheduled to get more tattoos from Fish next month. I also went in today and was tattooed on my hands by Julie, and those turned out amazing as well. All of my lines are super clean, and the blackwork on my tattoos are very solid. Their prices are reasonable and the staff is super kind. I'm really excited to get more done.Read Less

We brought our son in to get his ears pierced for his 7th birthday. We called ahead to ask questions and decided to bring him in. I believe it was Rachel who did his piercing and she didn't rush him at all. She was honest with her answers to him and explained everything clearly. He was a little nervous and she was very understanding of that. He cried a little bit after the first ear was done, but she reassured him that she'd wait until he calmed down to do the next one. She showed him how the first one looked, which helped, and the second one went even smoother than the first. We got to talk to Julie, who was as pleasant as could be. We will certainly come back for a tattoo consult. Read Less

I get a majority of my work done by fisch and as always he does an amazing job with all I throw at him...but I know most of the crew there and must say they are all not only great artists but truely great people!! Always friendly and insure my visits to be fun and upbeat!! Read Less

Great Shop, Crappy Music.My wife has been waiting to get a tattoo for a while. She researched several places but ended up going here because they were open until Midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, which work great with her schedule. Walked in the door and they weren't all douchey like some tattoo shops we've been to. They actually greet you and talk to you like the hundreds of dollars you are about to spend are worth it. Very creative group of artist and helped my wife come up with ideas as well as help me put together some ideas as well. The shop is clean and the artist areas are clean. They use new clean items as well as sanitize areas. Good environment and reasonably priced. These guys were very skilled and walked out feeling like we didn't get ripped off. I really enjoyed that place and will be back. Minus the music I was happy overall. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was because of the music they play there. It just was not  "tattoo" music. It was more like ... rub oils on a dudes shoulders in an alley while tears build up in your eyes from the shame because you like women, but 20 bucks is 20 bucks ... kind of music. If they could fix the soundtrack to your tattoo that would be great. Instead I have look down at a wickedly awesome tattoo but then I get taken back to the dark moment of the soundtrack of my tattoo. Felt like I was in the gay bar, the Blue Oyster, from the movie called Police Academy. Shop Rocks, Artist Rock... let the effin' music rock! Read Less

After much thought and deliberation and design thoughts, I decided to get my 1st tattoo on Sunday. I saw Derek and he sat down with me and put my tattoo onto paper (it was a design I'd been thinking about for a long time) and it was EXACTLY what I'd been looking for!!  He did an amazing job and if I ever get the bug to get another one, he'll be the one I go to!!Thank you Derek!! Read Less

I went to Celebrity Tattoo yesterday and met with Derek. I've had a tattoo in mind for a while now, but was so nervous about explaining what I was looking for...but he worked with me to figure it out and he drew EXACTLY what I wanted. It is so beautiful. I was so impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. I am proud to have his art on my body. Thank you so much Derek!! Read Less

Horrible. My friend came sadly 2 times to get lettering. One across her forearm of ambitious. It came out so spotted and the lines were shaky. When it gets to cold or to hot the tattoo rises and you can feel every bit of it. None of her other tattoos do this so it cant be her fault. and her wrist she got her moms name. Again spotted shaky and also rises. Im not sure if its the ink or they scared her up in some crazy way but bad bad bad. My personal experience I have not been tattooed here but I did try to apprentice. Horrible. Its no wonder they cant find people to stay. No offense to the staff. He expected me to work full time even told me that I could not have another job because I would be there all the time. Not only that but still expected me to pay him 5,000 dollars and still get my own equipment. Once I told him that's not possible he said my father could do free landscaping work for him in order to lower the price. RIDICULOUS!! Aside from this, he asked me to make sure I show cleavage for my interview and at work. Goes to show what his values are like. Guess its not about art there its about business and anything to bring in customer right not even respectable one at that. There is so many other options for affordable and very well done tattoos all around Denver. It is not worth coming here. Read Less

I've been getting tattooed by Carl for 15+ years. He is an exceptional artist and does amazing custom tattoos! Finished a back piece last year and working on a full leg piece now and couldn't be happier with his work. If your wanting a great tattoo go see Carl, you won't be disappointed! Read Less

Dont go to this place! The owner is a scumbag who exploits artists and even outright steals from them . He is greedy and shamelessly hits on his female clientel no matter their age. The artist barely get paid...most only get 30-40% per tattoo...and are expexcted to rush through tattoos as fast as they can to get more people in the door...at the expense of any creativity or real art. Dont give your money to this evil empire...its as bad as walmart. Go to an artist run shop...support your local artist! NOT THE PEOPLE EXPLOITING THEM! Read Less

Ok so my lady and I go in to get a price on a cover up and to get some ideas the artist there says he can't do anything for us because his back hurts. Ok we didn't want work done we were looking for a price and ideas he looked at the tattoo and says he surprized she ant sick. His cow coworker working with him was actually laughing about that. Worst experaince in a tattoo shop. It will be awhile before I can find an artist to trust. Read Less

My wife and I stopped in for some new ink today (I already had two pieces done at this Celebrity location in the past). Their posted operating hours were 12pm -10pm today, but by 12:45pm they still weren't open. (Parking was $15.00, so that was a bit frustrating.) Still, wanted to use Celebrity so we went to their Golden location, which had posted hours opening at 10:30am. Also closed, with a sign on the door indicating they'd be back at 2:40pm. So, quick Google and we went to Faith Tattoo in old town Golden...which turned out to be an awesome place, with fantastic customer service, extremely talented artists...and Faith became our new regular tattoo joint... Read Less

I've had 5 tattoos done at Celebrity over the last 3 years & would not go ANYWHERE else! Thor & Felix are both incredible artists & all-around cool guys. They take the time to listen to my ideas, talk about what I want & give great suggestions. There's no pressure to do things ""their way"" (as I've had at other shops) and they are honest about the realities of tattooing (for example, telling a customer that a tattoo on the toe will need a lot of touch ups). I'm always impressed with the work I see when I go into the shop. The professionalism at the Lodo shop is second to none. The shop is super clean. I would (and have!) recommend this shop to anyone. I have a total of 11 tattoos done at 6 different shops so I have a little experience in this area ;) I cannot say enough how awesome these guys (and their work) are. Celebrity Lodo is the only shop to get your tattoo! Read Less

They did a great job on my tat....the lady stayed later then she had too..she didn't rush and took her time..it came out better then what i was hopping...there were issues at start..but they handle it professionally. The store was super clean. The owner ( I think it was the owner) walked around to make sure everything was in place..I seen him move some pics just a little so they can be perfect..that tells me he cares about appearance..Next tat I get, I am deff going back to this place.

I have been going to Celebrity Tattoo since June 2000, I stayed at the Lakewood store up until January 2011 because I had finally had enough! (almost 11 years!!!!) Before I write anything I do want to say that the review titled ""Dirty Drunks"" is not even close to accurate though! Celebrity Tattoo is one of the cleanest tattoo shops in the Denver Metro area, and I can say that about all of their locations. I think that Zeke has done a good job at setting high standards of making sure that his shops are clean. So when it comes to any worry about that, I have NEVER felt that I needed to be concerned about safety or cleanliness when I go there and I have a very low tolerance for anthying that even looks like it might be unsanitary..So I think that review is BS, and probably was written by another shop or someone with a 7th grade education (at best) BUT having said that, I did quit going to the Lakewood location because the bullsh*t there is just too much...They have had a few really good artists leave over the last few years and I still stuck it out going there (and I average 2-3 tattoos a year) its not Zeke that is the problem....Its the manager Natalie, that is the issue...IF you are a female and you walk into that shop, she is the most rude disrespectful human being I have ever had to deal with. She might be that way with the males that walk in there, but i've never seen her try it.. She will make your entire stay there so uncomfortable with her nasty looks and ""sh*t talking"" that is within earshot, that it is misreable being there. And unfortunatly it has created a severe ""high school"" feel in there and sadly isnt just limited to her but other artists as well. Your tattoo will look fine, if you feel like fighting about it with the artist untill they ""give in"" to doing it the way YOU want... There is a new level of arrogance in that place that just sucks....I made the decision to stay with Celebrity though, because like I said, I do appreciate the ""clean"" feel in a Celebrity shop. I went downtown to the location on Market and had a GREAT experience, there were only 2 artists in there when I walked in, and I ended up having Thor do my tattoo touch-up that day and he did an amazing job! Since then I have been back twice and everyone that has been in there while I was there had great work done, but more importantly the atmosphere DIDNT suck!!! I think the Market St location is the better location to get your work done...I hate drama and BS when im getting tattooed and I dont see that happening there. There is no ""manager"" on duty there, but with how worthless the one at Lakewood is, i'm not sure there would be a difference (except for caddy garbage being added) Thor is awesome (he will actually take the time to sit down with you and come up with something you like, and give an OPINION on something that WILL work if he feels what you wanted wont work) and he never came close to ""talking down"" to anyone that I saw him interact with. I am married with kids and really appreciate that he was professional and I could enjoy my time that I get to myself without drama, I am moving out of state but you can bet when I come back Market St is where I will go Read Less

I needed an ugly jail-house tat covered up (in-my-youth), I told the artist Thor to do whatever he thought was kewl.... He did a very good job of covering-up what could be covered and enhanced what was way to obvious. >4 hibiscus connecting a tribal around my ankle (2 pt tat). The next 1 was 4"" tribal fire surrounding a pentagram... Sweet!!! Once again Thor is amazing artist and over-all good dude. Management was very kewl, great tunes played in the back-ground, customer service is high quality, place is very clean & sanitary which to me is the most important thing in that kind of environment. Over-all great experience.. going back next month for another> ask for Thor the man! Read Less

I got an awesome tattoo from Adam at the Lowell location! I guess they had a staff turnover recently there because I didn't recoginize anyone. I've been to a lot of shops in the Metro area and this was one of the best experiences for me. Clean, friendly, fun environment...superior artists! Read Less

I have a full back piece (and I have a low pain tolerance, so its taking a lot of trips). Everytime I walk into celebrity I know im going to enjoy the experince (which says a lot to over ride the pain of any tattoo) reguardless of if im getting work myself or just hand holding. The artists are great, they are SO excited about whatever it is you may want. They offer suggestions but will stick with whatever you want if you say no. Its very clean and inviting. And a special thanks to my artist Lady, tattoo artist and therapest (while your under the needle anyhow). I wouldn't let anyone else work on my ink. Read Less

I can't believe that Celebrity Tattoo can stay in business with such a rude woman working at the front. Shelly? Susan? Simone? Can't remember her name - but she has short dark hair and a rude attitude. She acted like she was loaded, too. What kind of place is that? I heard that the artists are top notch, but my friends and I won't go back until we get wind that she's gone. Way too much attitude and rudeness for us to deal with. There are more than enough places to get our tats w/o the lousy attitude. Read Less

Celebrity Tattoo was very kind and courteous to me. I was very unsure as to what tattoo I was going to get, seeing how it was my first, but I was not rushed. On the contrary, they custom designed a graphic that I knew was a one-of-a-kind. They walked me though the process of what they were going to do and I knew I had gone to the right place. The atmosphere was welcoming and their facility was spotless. I have shown all of my friends what great work they did and if I ever need another tattoo I will not hesitate going back. Read Less

I have been going to Celebrity Tattoo for years. The owner Zeke has become a great friend of mine, and he is one of, if not, the most kind and courteous individuals I have encountered. From my understanding a previous comment by California Girl was unwarranted. I would never call into question the character of any of the employees, and even more so the character of the owner Zeke. I would never go to any other tattoo shop. Celebrity Tattoo is by far the best and cleanest tattoo shop in Colorado. Read Less
