Dan was really bad communication over the phone think ill passPosted on Kristin VoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve visited Denver a few times now and this time around for my 23rd birthday my friend gifted me my first tattoo. Upon entry, we were greeted in such a welcoming matter. Landon got the honors to give me my first tattoo ever, and from giving him the idea, to me expressing a change, he took it all very kindly, and he was very open to my inputs and it made the experience so memorable. He did such a wonderful job at replicating what I wanted. If I ever want another tattoo Landon is going to be my go to guy. He even let me witness my friend get a piercing before me getting a tattoo!! LANDON IS THE BEST :)!! Thank you for making my first tattoo so memorable and a calm experience.Posted on Kenzie MontagnaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the best experience tonight doing a walk in tattoo! I had a very specific idea for some little dots on my face and Dan absolutely killed it, and he was just so sweet. It was a super comfortable experience. The shop itself was also so cute and super clean. Will absolutely be back for more art!Posted on Inked_FatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went in on Friday the 13th to get a tattoo but they were already shutting it down for the night, but im giving full stars for the customer service, clean shop, professionalism, and the fact they still took my sons girl friend to get her belly pierced and the piercer was very professional, clean, and fast.

Professional Piercers Always on Standby — Denver & Lakewood
Walk in any day of the week and there’s a piercer here. That’s not something most piercing shops in Denver can say — a lot of them are appointment only, or they only have one piercer who works certain days. At Mantra we have piercers at both our South Broadway Denver location and our Lakewood location, open every single day from 11am to 9pm. You don’t need to plan ahead. You just show up.
We’ve been doing this since 2006 and we’ve pierced thousands of people in Denver and the surrounding area. First-timers who were nervous walking in and relaxed walking out. People who’d had bad experiences elsewhere and needed it done right for once. Clients who’ve been coming back to us for years every time they want something new. The one thing they all have in common is they didn’t get an infection, the piercing healed clean, and the jewelry still looks good.
That last part isn’t an accident. We only use implant-grade titanium or solid gold for initial piercings — never surgical steel, never plated metal, never anything that’ll irritate your skin and slow down healing. Cheap jewelry is the number one reason piercings go wrong. We don’t use it. We also use single-use sterile needles on every single client, no exceptions, and our studios are fully health board inspected. When we say clean and safe, we mean it in the actual clinical sense — not just as a selling point.
Most piercings take less than 15 minutes start to finish. We’ll check your anatomy, talk you through placement, let you pick your jewelry, and answer any questions before we start. You leave with written aftercare instructions and our number. If something comes up during healing — swelling, irritation, questions about downsizing — you can call or text us. We don’t disappear after you pay.
Every Type of Piercing — Walk-Ins Welcome Every Day
We do it all. Ear piercings, nose piercings, septum piercings, facial piercings, body piercings — if you’ve seen it, we’ve done it. Here’s the full list:
– Ear Piercings — lobe, second & third lobe, helix, double helix, flat, tragus, anti-tragus, daith, rook, conch, industrial, forward helix, snug, orbital
– Nose Piercings — nostril, septum, high nostril, bridge
– Facial Piercings — eyebrow, medusa, lip, Monroe, labret, Ashley, cheek
– Body Piercings — belly button, nipple, dermal/microdermal, surface, VCH, frenum, sternum
– Oral Piercings — tongue, smiley, snake bites, frowney
– Kids & Teen Ear Piercings — with a parent or guardian, needles only, never guns
Tattoo Shop Denver — Walk-Ins Daily, Custom Work Done Right
Here’s the thing about a tattoo that holds up. It’s not luck and it’s not just good ink — it’s the artist understanding needle depth, skin type, how a design is going to age, and where on the body a certain style works and where it doesn’t. A fine line tattoo done too shallow fades in two years. A traditional piece packed too heavy blurs. Our artists know this stuff because they’ve been doing it long enough to see their own work age — and they adjust accordingly.
We have 20+ tattoo artists across our Denver and Lakewood studios. That’s not a number we throw out to sound impressive — it means that on any given day, multiple styles are available for walk-ins without a wait. Fine line, black and grey realism, traditional, Japanese, neo-traditional, blackwork, anime, watercolor, cover-ups — it’s all here, and there’s an artist who actually specializes in each one rather than someone who’ll attempt anything.
Walk in for smaller pieces, flash designs, or anything you already have a clear idea about. For custom work — larger pieces, sleeves, anything that needs a consultation — fill out a quote request and an artist will get back to you within 24 hours.
We’re open seven days a week until 9pm. Most tattoo shops in Denver close at 6 or 8. We stay open later because most people work during the day and shouldn’t have to take time off to get tattooed.
Not sure what you want? Come in and talk to a piercer. They’ll look at your anatomy and show you what works for your face, your ears, your body. No pressure, no upselling — just honest advice.
Custom Tattoos Denver — From Concept to Finished Piece
Bring us anything. A photo of something you saw online. A sketch on your phone. Three words that describe a feeling. We’ve worked with all of it and turned it into tattoos people are still showing off ten years later.
Custom work starts with a conversation. Your artist will talk through sizing, placement, how the design fits your body’s contours, what style makes sense for what you want, and what’s going to look good long-term — not just in the photo you take the day you get it. That honest back-and-forth is why our clients come back. They got a tattoo that was built for them, not a design pulled off a wall and resized.
With 20+ artists between both studios, there’s someone available for whatever style you’re after.
– Fine Line & Script Tattoos
– Black & Grey Realism
– Traditional & Neo-Traditional
– Japanese / Irezumi
– Blackwork & Geometric
– Anime & Pop Culture
– Watercolor & Color Tattoos
– Cover-Up Tattoos
