I had a few tattoos that I hated, mistakes from bring young and dumb. I spent years trying to find a shop and artist willing to tackle a couple of cover ups. Every shop I walked into acted like in was bothering them and had no interest in helping. I met Adam through a mutual friend, Adam was nice and willing to help from day one. The artistic ability out of this shop is ridiculous. Every artist is amazing, if you are looking for a specific piece I'm certain they have an artist for you. I would highly recommend Fallen Owl.

I can't say enough amazing things about fallen owl! All of their staff are amazing and insanely talented! I had the honor of working with Carly today and can't wait to have her do some more work! She did an amazing job on my piece! If your looking for great art work you should definitely check out fallen owl tattoo studio!!!!! Read Less

The staff at Fallen Owl are amazing. I've been working with Chris Hamilton on a sleeve for several months and I couldn't be happier. Chris has done excellent work and the staff at Fallen Owl have been professional and fun. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. If you want amazing art done in the most sanitary of environments I encourage you to go to Fallen Owl. Read Less

I wanted a full sleeve done and I wanted to make sure I got a good artist regardless of price. I found an article in which Fallen Owl ranked top 10 in Denver. My favorite tattoos are Japanese and out of all the shops Chris Hamilton came up. I made an appointment with him in which I discussed my ideas, provided him with samples and gave him my deposit. He said he would work on it and he made my first appointment for 2 months later. My first appointment he forgot what we were doing, he went to find the pictures I gave him and he asked me to wait until he came up with a small sample " just to get us started" my other 3 appointments went the same way, he was just winging my sleeve. Tattoos are permanent and depending on how good or bad they are, it dictates if I will be wearing long sleeves or short sleeves for the rest of my life and blame it on a drunken night. I allowed him to do my arm under the condition that he would finish a tattoo I had on my shoulder, he agreed to it and I was content with most of the work he did. On my 5th appointment I didn't get a call to remind me of my appointment. I called and spoke to the girl at the desk, she was rude even when I was willing to provide a printout of my in coming calls to prove I never received that call. I asked to speak to Chris and he said I had lost my deposit and I needed to provide him with more. I said ok and I waited to get a call for my next appointment. I never got one and months late Chris never bother to call me and see what was going on. Chris is good at doing backgrounds but his main pierces are mediocre. He is more interested in riding his bike. Tattooing for him seems to be his source of income but his passion for tattooing doesn't seem to be there. I can't speak in reference to other artists in the shop but it seems to me the reason why the shop is so popular is because of some hats the owner sells. My personal opinion I wouldn't recommend this shop. There are many other options in the Denver area. Read Less

Came here for a giant tribal cover up! Adam did an awesome job! I love it! The shop is very clean and everyone I met was super nice! Would definitely recommend if you want an awesome tattoo in a super clean environment! Read Less

The hubs and I just got back from a life changing, incredible trip to South Africa.  I wanted a simple line drawing tattoo of a giraffe as a reminder of the amazing experiences we had.  I haven't gotten a tattoo since I was 18 so let's just say it's been a while ;)  I found the staff to be really friendly when I called and set the appointment for the consultation.When I showed up for the consultation, Tony was available to do the tattoo right then which was great.  It was a simple, black and white, smaller sized tattoo on the outside of my ankle.  He was awesome and I really love the work he did! Read Less

I made an appointment with Jim on a recommendation from a friend.  When I first came in for a consultation, I was impressed with the shop right away. It was clean and professional and Jim took all my ideas seriously.  I went in for my first appointment yesterday  (I'm getting a half sleeve so there will be a few appointments) and I'm nothing but amazed. Jim and Lauren were both friendly and made the experience wonderful. And the work is amazing too.  I got the first piece of my half sleeve done and in just one day I've already gotten so many compliments! I can't wait to get more work done!! Read Less

Got brass knuckles with a caption. It was an old school style tattoo that Chris added his own style to. Took just over an hour and looks amazing. You would think that this tattoo took much longer then it did but there's a reason Chris has been tattooing as long as he has. Extremely happy and looking forward to more work in the future by Chris! Excellent work! Read Less

Angell did an amazing job on my newest piece!!  I've been looking around for a great artist in my area and Fallen Owl has popped up numerous times. I've done my research and really fell in love with Angell's work. I was a little nervous that being on my sternum would be incredibly painful. Being the master that Angell is, I could have almost fallen asleep in his chair. He was very gentle and super easy to talk to. I can't wait to have him do more work on me! Read Less

Awesome shop. Everyone that works there is professional, laid-back and accommodating. I got a full sleeve and a sock done by Adam Rose and am definitely happy I picked this shop. I wasn't really sure what I initially wanted, I had a general idea but no specifics. After the first initial general scheme I was impressed and the fill-in elements and background were awesome. Honestly after the first few sessions I trusted his creativity more than what I was envisioning. After my full sleeve I got my sock done and I couldn't be happier with that either. On top of that, he was really on top of the whole sterile technique situation and very careful about cleanliness. Everyone there is cool, the atmosphere is fun and I always had a good time hanging out even after 3 hours of burning. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the Denver area, highly recommend. Read Less

After doing some research, I chose Angell at Fallen Owl Tattoo for my cover up tattoo. His portfolio has some awesome cover-ups so I knew I would be in good hands. At my consultation, I was really vague about what I wanted - just a pretty flower(s) that would cover my old tattoo. On the day of my appointment, Angell drew my design directly on my body. After looking at it, I knew it was exactly what I wanted. We discussed colors and before I knew it, I was finished and completely amazed. He is a true artist. My before and after pictures are in the photos - before is a heart and the final is an amazing flower piece. I absolutely love my new tattoo. If you are debating where to go, pick Angell at Fallen Owl. His work is amazing! He books up a few months out so get in there now for your consult. I can't wait to go back! Read Less

My first tattoo here and Polly made it an amazing experience.  Patience with me being figgity and talkative.  Tattoo is amazing,  I have been getting compliments since the day I got my ink.  Cannot wait for my next appointment, I AM addicted and thnx to their awesome attitudes, I will keep coming back.

On June 24th, I went in for my second tattoo ever. I had made the appointment about 2 weeks earlier and talked with the artist Polly. I had a general idea of what I wanted and she had given me a quick sketch to help me out. I came in and she was very friendly and made me feel good about my decision. I hadn't had a tattoo that was this detailed or colored. I was there for about 2.5 hours and she even let my buddy watch (he was curious). When it came time to see the art I was extremely happy on the placement and how beautiful it turned out. She charged me for only 2 hours, even though it was longer. I would recommend Polly and the shop, the negative reports received recently are shocking to me but don't let those scare you off. Read Less

I came in for a small tattoo, just one word on my forearm. I had a rough idea of what I wanted the lettering to be like but didn't have the exact font. I worked with Polly to hand-write the letters and, after a few attempts, she seemed to get what I was going for. I'm not a very picky person (come to think of it, maybe that makes me harder to work with) but this is something that's going to be on me forever, so I did make a few tweaks and edits to what Polly drew up. This seems like a normal thing to me (not my first tattoo and I've never felt bad about it before), but I got the feeling that she thought I was just being a princess... Ultimately, I liked what we came up with and she made the stencil. When it came to placing it, she seemed a little annoyed when I asked to adjust the stencil a bit so it looked straighter to me. The place on my arm that I wanted it was tough for me to reach so it took me a couple of tries to get it right where I wanted it. Again, this is something I will see every day and, being the girl who usually won't tell my hair-stylist that I don't like something, I was worried about not speaking up and then being stuck with a mistake. In hind-sight, I shouldn't have felt bad about what she thought and just moved it till I was 1000% sure of the placement, because now it still looks a little crooked to me. Oh well, I'm OCD so it may just be me. After the stencil was placed, she went ahead with the tattooing. She did an awesome job with the needle - very steady hand - and it came out looking the way I wanted it to initially. It's been about 3 weeks and the tattoo is mostly healed, and now that the surface-level ink (you know, the ink that looks super bold but wears off as your skin heals) has sloughed off and healed over, there are big gaps in the tattoo lettering. I don't pretend to know anything about the actual art of tattooing, so I don't know if my skin reacted weird (though, it never got itchy or red after the initial tattooing), if she didn't ink deep enough, or what but it's definitely something I have to get redone. I'm sure I could go back to Polly and have her touch it up, but I live out of state and won't be back in CO till next year, so I will need to pay another artist to do it again. Ugh. All in all, the shop was very nice, accommodating, and reasonably priced. I didn't make an appointment (because I was just in from out of town and had heard good things about Fallen Owl) and they were awesome about squeezing me in as a walk-in. It's a very clean space and everyone was friendly. I am pretty bummed that I will have to get the tattoo fixed already (and pay for it again! Not their fault but still sucks.) and I would say that if I went back, it would only be with my design already sketched out. Polly did a nice job but I just kept feeling like I was inconveniencing her by making suggestions to the stencil/placement, so I wouldn't do that again. Read Less

Great place for a tat!  I had the pleasure of having Jim as my artist.  I had a cover up that I have been wanting for several years, he worked with me when I found what I wanted to cover this "name" up with, using his recommendations as far as contrast, size, etc.  Jim did a fantastic job!  My girl had a tat done by Jim a few weeks prior and he knocked her tat out of the park.  Thank you Jim!

The first tattoo I got was nothing short of a VERY bad mistake.  One that I looked at for 9+ years.  When I finally took the plunge to get it covered up I was not going to go to just anyone for this endeavor.  I searched many tattoo studios before landing upon Fallen Owl Tattoo.  I could not find ONE SINGLE bad review about this place.  After stopping in to schedule the appointment.  I looked at the art work of Chris Hamilton and that is who I chose for my tattoo.  My friend chose to use Angell Dominguez.  His work was equally as good.  We both went to schedule our appointments and they were booked further out then we may have thought.  This might bother few people but this to me was a good sign of true artists.  Chris Hamilton, my tattoo artist, took my loosely based idea and Pinterest picture and turned it into pure perfection. I was beyond pleased with what he created. I have to give Chris major props too, I am not a complete pussy, but I did my fair share of groaning and whining, so he was nice enough not to make me feel badly about it.  If I wasn't trying to rap to Dr. Dre then I was singing the ABC's (might I add I thought this was in my head but everyone heard).  He was good about keeping a conversation going when needed and silent when that was what was best to keep me calm and to keep my mind off the actual tattoo. He was funny and made me laugh.  If I get another tattoo this is the only place I would do it.Overall this place is clean, professional and full of extremely talented artists  so I feel its safe to say that these people know what they're doing. I would also like to point out that they were not elitist snobs unlike some other places you may wander into.I could not recommend this place more. I am absolutely head over heels in love with my tattoo...it more than exceeded my expectations! Read Less

I've been to several Tattoo Shops and Fallen Owl is by far the best shop I've got work done at. All the artists are full of talent and all make you feel welcome. Freddie was my artist and am very satisfied with the final piece. Fallen Owl is a Custom shop. No flash, which I think makes the place 100 times better than a lot of places. Tattoos should be meaningful and not just something you pick out of a book. Being an artist myself makes me respect their ways of doing business. The Deposite locks in your spot so no one else can take it and the money goes towards your piece anyway. So many people bail out on getting any type of art done so being an artist you need some kind of guaranty your client won't bail on you last minute. Like I said it goes towards your tattoo so its not like you loose out on your money. Plus if you didn't get paid till the day of your appointment just wait another week... Anyway, check them out! Take a look at all their portfolios and see for yourself! :D Read Less

I stoped in to see about getting a tat on my shoulder, they couldn't do it that day so I told them I had to check my schulde and get back with them, I called them and asked to make an appt. for thurs, (my day off and when I get paid) they would not make a phone appt, they wanted a $50.00 deposit. I told them I didn't get paid till thurs and was told well then come in a make the deposit then! I was quoted a price by fallen owl of $150 to $190 for about a 3X3 no color tat. I stoped in True Blue Tattoo and they were more then happy to make me an appt. for thurs with no deposit! And it is going to cost me around $80 (I found out that my parents got their work done at true blue and they have had beautiful work done). My advise to you is SHOP AROUND A BIT before you schedule your appointment at Fallen Owl. I hope this helps. Read Less

I've been to a few shops and I have to say that by far Fallen Owl is the cleanest, most unique shop with the most awesome and respectable people. Tabitha did my anchor piercings and I was amazed at how comfortable she made it. I will definitely be going back, in fact I have an appointment to get a tattoo from Adam. :-) Read Less

I have several piercings and Tabitha is by far the best piercer I have ever had. She made my experience with dermal piercings so comfortable and painless. The shop is so clean and unique and everyone was just awesome. I will be going back for sure! Read Less

I have numerous tattoos from Fallen Owl. The reason is that they have the friendliest and the most professional artists I have ever dealt with. I am highly satisfied with the work I have and will continue to go back on a regular basis. Fallen Owl has my vote. I would recommend that everyone to check it out if given the opportunity. Let them design you something custom...you will not be disappointed. Read Less

Best custom shop in Denver. If your looking for a very relaxed, clean and professional shop that prides itself in custom work this is the place for you! I've been going here for almost two years and they have made me a customer for life. Check them out online or head into the shop and meet the artists, look through the portfolios, check out all the paintings on the walls because they pretty much speak for themselves! Read Less

My wife & I came in looking for symbolic tattoos to represent our 10 year anniversary. We didn't really know what we wanted other then something matching but not the same. The guys sat down with us & brain stormed a few ideas. Jesse ended up whipping out an amazing drawing on the spot. The skill in that pool is deep! We now have tattoos we both love. Look forward to seeing these guys for our 20th Read Less

What a great shop! I just got tattooed by Jesse. I'm an old Navy guy & was looking for some traditional work, after seeing his portfolio I knew he was my guy. Very humble, & nothing but nice... he just lets his artwork do the talking. Can't wait to come back & get the rest of my sleeve finished up Read Less

I have been a loyal client with Fallen Owl Tattoo for the past year...they have just recruited a new piercer to round out their stellar team. Tabitha has been in the business for years, and it shows...it awesome to be able to have all my body modification needs taken care of in one place! Read Less

I recently relocated to the Denver area, and after much research and recommendations, found Fallen Owl Tattoo.The shop is immaculately clean and the staff super friendly! They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and help me to create the perfect tattoo for me. Thanks Adam! Read Less

A close friend recommended Fallen Owl Tattoo to me after I expressed interest in getting a memorial tattoo for my father. Knowing little about the tattoo culture I admit that I was very nervous, but the artists there are extremely kind and informative! My father's memorial piece was custom designed and tattooed by not only a true artist, but one of the shop's owners! Talk about quality service! Read Less

My daughter and I decided to get our first tattoos together, and after some research we found Fallen Owl Tattoo Studio. I was extremely nervous, but the design the artist drew up for us was incredible and the actual pain was more irritating than anything else. Now every time I miss my girl I just look at my beautiful tattoo! I wish I hadn't waited so long! Read Less
