Tattoo shops in Denver
A tattoo is a permanent decision made in a room you'll spend hours in, so the studio matters as much as the artist. Denver, CO has 76 tattoo shops mapped right now. All 76 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns.
This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Denver (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Timeless Tattoo and Pangea Tattoo, plus Tribal Rites. If a studio's missing from Denver's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Denver
24 of the 76 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.
31 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.
There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on 1332 East Colfax Avenue, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
1 of the studios are also tagged for piercings, handy if you're after both in one visit.
The Denver tattoo shop tour
The efficient Denver tattoo shop tour strings these together: Timeless Tattoo, Pangea Tattoo on 707 South Public Road, Tribal Rites on 1309 College Avenue, Chakra Tattoo on 609 22nd Street, The Rune Tattoo Studio on 1037 Lincoln Street, Iris Body Piercing on 216 East 13th Avenue, Tribe Tattoo on 698 Santa Fe Drive, and Kitchens' Ink on 757 Santa Fe Drive — 76 stops, one logical order. 68 more are listed below.
Tattoo tips for Denver
A few things worth knowing before you work through Denver's tattoo shops:
- Match the artist to the style at Timeless Tattoo. Fine line, blackwork, traditional, realism — artists specialise. The best studio in town is the wrong one if the style's off.
- Walk-ins mean flash, usually at Pangea Tattoo. If you want custom work, book ahead. Walk-in slots are for flash designs and small pieces.
- Keep the bandage on as directed. Second-skin or cling wrap timelines vary by artist. Follow theirs, not a forum's.
- Be honest about your pain tolerance. Ribs, feet and inner arms hurt more. A good artist will tell you straight and plan breaks.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Denver — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Denver can take a while to appear. The 76 above are only as current as the community map. A tattoo shop that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.
If you run one of the 76 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Tattoo shop listings for Denver: 76 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
