I had been planning my last tattoo for over two years and I knew when I met Kat for our consultation that I had found my artist.  I had several concepts and visions of what I was wanting and Kat perfectly captures not only the design but utilized the perfect coloring to bring out the vision of a Phoenix rising from the ashes.  Her shop is clean and quiet as it is by appointment only and Kat let me bring my own playlist while we put the ink on.   Such a great experience, I will definitely be back for future ink and have already suggested Kat to my family and friends.   You will truly love the experience.

I got my first and second tattoo here with Katherine and she's simply amazing. She is patient and understanding. I say this with the utmost endearment -- Katherine had this "fun mom" vibe that put me at ease. She has a private little shop and only sees one client at a time so you get the cozy comfort of having Katherine's 100% attention without being distracted by other people. She is knowledgeable about her trade and is an artist at her core. I definitely recommend Katherine and Elegant Ink for those who may be on the fence about getting a tattoo or is nervous about any preconceived notion of what a tattoo shop is like. It was a very relaxing and comfortable environment. Now getting the tattoo itself is painful but I assume that's common knowledge. It was as bad as I expected, not any more than that. It was like a sunburn that is being scratched at -- eventually you get use to it and then it's just the buzzing of the equipment that might get annoying. Katherine has a TV with Netflix and Hulu+ to distract you from the noise, though. She does little sections at a time and then provides some relief; plus you get breaks whenever you want/needed and she only counts the time she actually spent working on the piece. It was definitely not that bad. I 100% recommend her. Read Less

I took my daughter for her first tattoo at Elegant Ink. Katherine was very welcoming and answered all of my questions. The shop was clean and organized I was extremely impressed with everything. And the tattoo looks absolutely amazing, and for a fair price. I would definitely recommend Elegant Ink to others. Read Less

Kat was very kind & chill. I Got a small simple tattoo for my first time & it came out cute. The pain wasn't too bad, kat put on Netflix & it helped keep my mind off the pain. Overall my experience was awesome! Highly recommend. Read Less

I had a great experience here ! I was having a memorial tattoo done for my wife who passed away in October. Kat worked with my idea and created a wonderful piece! I would recommend her 100% to anyone who is thinking about getting a tattoo 🐺 Read Less

If you're needing a tattoo look no further.  Kat does an excellent job. She is Friendly, has nice art work, a comfortable setting and a steady hand.  She recently did a Cover up on an old piece and made it look awesome.  I made another appointment right away. And will continue going back for any other work. Recommended for sure! Read Less

Katherine was so friendly and comforting. I had gotten my first tattoo last year on my shoulder blade. I'm coming back again to get one on my wrist. Very pleased with the results and the healing process is very easy with a clear bandage. Read Less

Kat is an amazing artist! I have never been so happy with a tattoo before and I have several others. I love the fact that she takes her business so seriously and makes it such a safe environment for all her clients, especially women. The shop environment is so inviting and different than any other place I have been. The fact that she sees one client per session is the greatest idea ever. I didn't have to be on display for everyone else to see. Overall, the best experience I have ever had when it comes to a tattoo. Not only that but I will definitely be returning for more to come and future cover ups. Read Less

This is the shop I have been waiting for!!!!! I have been wanting to cover up some work that was out dated (for my life as it is now) and quite frankly, ill conceived. I found Kat @ Elegant Ink. with google, after reading reviews and looking at her portfolio I thought I would reach out for her advice. Glad I did, not your typical shop, 1 person, no flash art and by appointment only. Awesome, no drunk 21 year old's wandering in. This is truly a shop for adults to get serious tattoo's done. I have had my first of about 3 2hour sessions done and am thrilled.If you have been turned off on getting work done by the typical shop/artist vibe call Elegant Ink. you will be glad you did.

My Wife and I have debated for years the idea of getting "tattoos". Now that we are in our 60s, we decided that it was now or never. My Wife contacted Kat, sent Emails back and forth for our designs and we set a date to "get it done". October 18th rolled around and off we went.-Kat made us feel welcome, worked out the details (My Wife was getting a Phoenix and I, my family crest). The whole process was incredibly easy, very little to no pain and when done, we LOVED the work!!-To anyone who may be "sitting on the fence" - let me assure you - this lady does EXCELLENT work! I simply can not recommend "Elegant Ink" and Kat enough! Thanks again and we WILL be back in the future! Read Less

Kat is wonderful with interpreting and making desired modifications to design! The parlor is extremely comfortable and clean. Any work done in the future will be done here. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would, Kat deserves 10+ Read Less

I just got a tattoo at Elegant Ink and it was the best experience I ever had at a tattoo shop. Kat is very talented and did better then I could have emaganed. She is very personable and a joy to be around. I will never go anywhere else to get a tattoo. Thank you I love my tattoo!!!!!! Read Less

Kat is a delight and super talented! She is charming, a wicked perfectionist and will work with you to make sure it is exactly what you want. I have just returned from getting tattoo #2 from her and it is pure art. I will be back for another in May. Thank you, Kat! You rock! Read Less

This may be the best tattoo experience I've ever had, going back 20 years. I've had work done in shops in Australia, San Diego, and other places in Denver. The shop just has the one chair and artist, and is by appointment only so noone randomly wandering through. Very relaxed, at one point I may have snored. Cannot wait to get back in for my next one. Read Less

I found Elegant Ink searching for tattoo shops and reading the reviews. I was impressed by the reviews. After the consult, I left confident knowing that Kat understood what I wanted and that she could do the job. That was important to me because the art I wanted was drawn by my son. I also loved that she is a one client at a time shop. It was very relaxing not having to hear other machine or conversations going on at the same time. I am absolutely thrilled with the finished product. Kat managed to get every last detail my sone did on his original artwork. Many have found an artist they specifically go to for ink, I have now found mine! Thanks Kat. Read Less

My husband and I found Kat on Yelp and decided to give her a try based on her 5 star reviews. We were not disappointed! Although she is artistically known for her cover up tattoos, my husband and I wanted original tattoos together. During our consultation, she talked through our idea and helped us decide on a better option. She was very thorough in placing the outline of the tattoo to ensure it was in the right location. While we got our tattoos, we were able to watch Dexter on Netflix, which helped take our minds off the pain. Overall, Kat did an excellent job on our tattoos, and I highly recommend her services to novice or experienced tattoo enthusiasts. Read Less

The best ever! So far my number is three tattoos, the best, and I am going back in a few for more months...so excited! I will probably have 60 tattoos and I am sooooooo excited every single time I go! Read Less

On August 18th, 2016, my mom and I came in for both of our first tattoos! I had been planning out my tattoo for months and ended up drawing a floral sun that i absolutely adored. I met with Kat before the appointment and instantly felt comfortable! She has a very welcoming aura about her and made the who process not to intense or scary! My nerves completely vanished as did my moms. She was very concentrated throughout the hour and a half long tattoo and the final result showe...d it! My tattoo came out better than i could have even imagined, i am so grateful to have found her and will continue to have her as my artist! She is beyond fabulous when it comes to all aspects of a tattoo, she truly knows what she's doing and her enjoyment is contagious. Whether you are getting your first tattoo, a long tattoo or adding more to your collection, Kat is the best choice you could ever make! I cannot wait to come back in tomorrow for my second!!! :) Afficher la suite Read Less

I had such a great experience with Kat. She has created a very serene environment, I was very comfortable and at ease and that is very important to me and something that added to the experience. She worked with me to get just the right design... simple yet meaningful to me and I love it. Thank you Kat for your patience and I'm sure we will be back! : ) Read Less

Ok folks, Kat is the real deal! After doing a lot of research for tattoo artists north of Denver I contacted Kat after reading all the positive reviews she received. They weren't wrong. Kat is a super nice, fantastic person. She is also a consummate professional and a great artist. She runs a nice clean shop. We met to discuss a shark tattoo, I gave her my ideas and set a time for the tattoo. Several days before the appointment she sent me several design ideas and patiently worked with me until I got what I liked. The tattoo is beautiful. She did a great job and I couldn't be happier. If you live in the north Denver area, give her a call. You won't be disappointed. Read Less

I recently went to see Kat after doing a lot of research on where to go and get a tattoo. I've had some before but this was much different than lining. All the reviews said she had a nice shop that made everyone feel at home. I decided to schedule an appointment and was so excited to finally be getting the piece I had wanted for a while. She helped me pick the size I wanted and made sure the placement was just right. She sat me down and had Netflix running for me to watch! I had never had anything like this before, so that made it so much better to get my mind off of the pain. The finished product was amazing. It's still healing but I love it so much! I'll definitely be going back to get a touch up from her and to be getting a few others I want as well. P.S. The carnation was done by Kat, the lettering was done somewhere else a little over a year ago. Read Less

Had a great experience getting a tattoo at elegant ink with Kat. The shop is small, cozy and very clean. She has a little coffee/tea area which is always nice. Will be coming back for another tattoo for sure. Thanks again Kat! Read Less

I was not too happy with how my first piece of artwork came out on my arm and I went to her since my boyfriend recommended her and I like the work she did on him and she did an excellent job I'm in love and I'm so excited to go back and have her finish my arm ! Read Less

Just like art is unique and diverse, so are tattoo parlors. Katherine is an amazing artist on many levels and those of us looking to get a tattoo for the first time, or to fix an old one, or to add to our collection are lucky to have her. Had a very relaxed and laid back experience. There were never any concerns from the moment I got there. For those not familiar with the area, don't let the location fool you. It's a well put together parlor with plenty of sitting room and a comfortable feel. Would definitely go back again. Read Less

Kat was patient and so helpful in getting the design I wanted just right. She adapted a design for 3 different tattoos for family members. Her business is clean and comfortable. She locks the door so there is no worry about anyone walking in. Her prices are very affordable and work is excellent - a true artist. Read Less

What an amazing experience.  Not only is Katherine an amazing artist but the atmosphere is also amazing.  I haven't been proud to show my are for a while and today I am walking around with short sleeves.  Too bad it's cold!  Hands down I will go no where else and will recommend Elegant Ink to anyone who is interested in body art. Read Less

I'm so glad I stumbled upon Kat! I purchased a groupon after making sure her reviews were good, and got two tattoos from her. She will be my go-to from here on out. She was able to put together my ideas onto paper and then skin. Totally professional, super clean shop - I watched 3 episodes of Grey's Anatomy on Netflix while she worked on me! I have another one planned in the not so distant future and I will be returning to her. Fair prices and high quality work. Read Less

Kat was super patient and thoughtful with me when it came to designing my tattoo. This was my very first one so I was extremely nervous. The whole process took about a month to design while emailing back and forth and the tattoo itself took two and a half hours. Kat was very professional, thoughtful, and kind throughout everything! I would definitely recommend Elegant Ink! Read Less

Kat is nothing short of a true artist! Her shop is a hidden gem in a tiny random strip mall- blink and you'll miss it. I love that she is by appointment only and and locks the door when she's in session with you to assure no interruptions. Her "shop" is no such thing. It's a gallery of her art on canvas, her jewelry and her personality. It is the best and most comfortable place I have ever been inked. Not only does Kat do excellent technical work, but she actually care about you as a person! I had a simple wrist tattoo yesterday and she has checked in to make sure I am doing well and how you're healing. She's humble with a sense of humor. Her rate is totally reasonable and her work is impeccable. The amount of detail she achieved in my ink is impressive and I have tons of amazed comments. Whether it's your first ink or you're filling in that last square inch on your body, Kat's your gal. 100% recommend her with zero hesitation. Read Less

Kat is AWESOME!! I can't say enough good things about her and her work. When I was younger I got a terrible tattoo that I needed to get covered, I thought it was going to be nearly impossible to do but she absolutely killed it. We communicated via email which was nice because I could take my time sending her ideas back and forth, she didn't make me feel rushed. She is so willing to do anything, listens to all of my ideas, and ultimately helped me make the best decisions as far as the designs and placements.  I feel like most tattoo artists are pushy and try to change your ideas a little too much, Kat isn't that way. Her shop is super clean and I love the decor. She has wall hangings of her own work! And for the icing on the cake-- she doesn't charge an arm and a leg. She is very reasonable. Since my cover up I have had three other tattoos from her. I highly recommend her to anyone. Read Less

Great experience with Kat. She worked with designing a custom tattoo that was exactly what I wanted.  She was a pleasure to work with and the price was reasonable, especially with all the time she spent sending me design ideas and making changes until we had the perfect design. Read Less

Kat is exceptional!  Her studio is inviting, clean and peaceful. She was prepared with the designs we had discussed via email. The piece she did was a coverup from a tat that didn't turn out as planned. She did a lovely job. Thank you!!!! Read Less

Katherine was a joy to work with. From the first email collaborating on what I wanted to the day I had it done.  The whole process was easy, Her shop is clean, full of her one of a kind art. You don't have the constant interruptions that you do in some of the bigger shops. When you're in her chair its all about you. Her work is beautiful, the quality is second to none. I had my wrist done a week ago and it's healing beautifully, no color variations or  blotches. Highly recommend. Read Less

A truly amazing little spot. The owner/artist, Katharine Anne, is a charming and caring woman with a wicked hand for ink. She helped me design a custom tattoo as a memorial for my son and it is everything I could have imagined. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for good ink and good company. She is thorough, sterile, speedy and relatively cheap. The studio looks like a hole in the wall in a little strip next to a liquor store but don't let the exterior fool you. Inside the parlor is colorful, well decorated, warm, and full of her paintings (she started as a painter). So give her a try. It's a wait to get in (she is by appointment only) but in my opinion, totally worth it. Read Less

Katherine is the best! She such a great listener and always up for anything. I feel I have some strange ideas but she always comes through and works with me on the perfect design. my opinion of tattoo artist use to be there were so cocky and rude but I dont get that at all with Katherine. Super sweet and excellent artist. I love how she generally does not use black outline making the tat look very real and unique just like a painting. Shes excellent with realism or anything your heart desires. I have several tats from Katherine and plan on using her for life. Dont waist your time looking around, seriously, or if you do she does cover ups too:) Read Less

My experience at Elegant Ink was fantastic. I was instantly comfortable with Katherine. She is easy going, no sales pressure and listened to me. I've been to other shops and the attitudes of the artists are egotistical, and they try to intimidate you. Elegant Ink is where I will always go for my tattoos. Read Less

I had an old tattoo that I wanted covered up. I went to several tattoo shops to get ideas. Every place I went told me nothing could be done. I was at my wits end. I went to Elegant Ink and Katherine told me "There's always something that can be done." She took a photo of it, and came up with a couple ideas. I am so happy that I do not have to look at that ugly tattoo anymore. Thank you thank you thank you!! Read Less

Katherine at Elegant Ink is an incredible artist with an extremely unique shop. The tattoo shops I have visited before often left me feeling out of place. Elegant Ink is comfortable, intimate and full of Katherine's fine art and jewelry, all of which are beautiful. She has done two tribute tattoos for me and was so kind and patient when I was being picky. I absolutely love her work and will never go to anyone else! Read Less

Katherine is fabulous! She listened to my vision and then helped interpret it. Her consultations and attention to detail combined with her pure creativity and artistic ability make her the best at her craft! We love you Katherine thanks for everything! Read Less

90% of my tatooes are from kath. Were even currently working on more peices! The shop is very clean and I love the style. She truely is an artist. I really like her unique outlining technique. Her work really looks like a painting right off the canvas. Kath is a great listener and is excellent at helping you come up with any kind of custimizations. I drive all the way from Aurora to see her! They have great massages too! Read Less

My husband and myself have gotten several tattoos from Katherine and love all of them!! I told her my ideas and turned them all into beautiful works of art for my body!! I have referred several people to the shop she has yet to disappoint!!! If you are looking for a professional clean and affordable shop for body art look no further you found it!!! Read Less

Katherine is WONDERFUL!! She did my first tattoo and she has me ADDICTED!! She is very attentive and listens to what YOU want, not what SHE wants. It is not a "skull and crossbones" shop. She's done more then 7 tattoos on my body,and will do more.....providing my husband lets me. All kidding aside she is a great artist and I have reffered many friends who wanted work done,and there have been no disappointments!! THANKS KAT!! Read Less
