I've wanted a tat for a long time now but I'm not the type to just go get some weird tribal shit. I want to know who in Denver does the best photo realistic black and grey tattoo I would like to get the Johnny cash pic on my avitar on my left arm . Googling best tattoo artist in Denver doesn't seem to work
Van Baird, artist and owner at Dark Millennia Tattoo over on Broadway a mile or so south of Hampden. He's the only artist that's ever taken a needle to me, and that's how I intend to keep it. I've yet to see anybody else's work that compares (in person anyway), and I've known him for 5 years now.
I'm actually going in for some work tomorrow afternoon, come on by.
You mind sharing any pics.
I don't have any of mine on my phone, and I'm not about to get out of bed to take some lol... but here's his website, portfolio link is on the right, his stuff is in the album named "Van." His stuff looks better in person, IMO. I've gotten compliments on the quality of the shading, detail, etc. from random people.

Here's a good one...

Dave Allen at Preying Mantis Tattoo near Wadsworth & Colfax area.
He is phenomenal and has tattooed celebrities and has had national recognition.
Damn Dave is good
Needles make me poop my pants. Short of my death (even in the ER) I refuse needles. BAN NEEDLES.
The guys at Guilt by Association have done some pretty sweet work for some of my friends. http://www.gbatattoos.com/home.html
Stay far far away from the Smoky Banana on 120th.
Wow, I've never seen tat work like that!Quote:

Jef kopp @ think tank on broadway
Chris Terranami, owner of Junkyard Ink in Louisville (http://junkyardink.com/chris-galleries/tattoos/). Pretty damn good artist if you ask me.
Think Tank is a great place. I've had a lot of work done there by Patrick Shackley (now at Monarch Tattoo)Quote:

Anyhow, my recommendation is for Bolder Ink in Boulder:

Before taking my business there, I had seen their good work on friends and liked their portfolios out of all the places I visited (however, IMO even great tats can look kinda crappy in photos). Don't remember the name of my artist, but he was a nice guy and pulled off what I wanted. No complaints.
Edit:
I don't know what up with their website -- doesn't seem to go past the main image now, but there used to more. I think the guy who did mine was Darren Hall. I know Joel D. Long does great work too.

Dave Allen actually used to work for Van. He does some damn good portraits, but that's about it. If he doesn't have the image right in front of him, he can't do it. If you want a portrait he's great, but if not...
there's a gun on craigslist ...his add reads that it's $150 marathon seating. As long as you can sit in his chair, it's $150. I'm sure his work must be top notch[ROFL1]

Yeah I can't say that Van cat is a very good tattoo artist in my opinion. As long as the tattooee likes the ink they get then it doesn't matter though [Beer]
Does anyone know of a really good artist who can tie an existing tattoo into a sleeve design? I want to tie in a not so well done tattoo on my right bicep into a sleeve design...I just want to find a really awesome sleeve artist/designer. Nothing really portrait style (or I would call Dave Allen...I've never seen portrait work that well done before) or American traditional style...a more modern style type artist. Thanks in advance.

Wow...can't find a bad review for anyone at Landmark. Looks like that is where I am headed. Thanks Jim.
