Don't try and walk in, appointment only. The good news is it's worth the wait, they have the best artists in Colorado! I have had tons of work done there, as has my wife. It's a clean, fun environment near down town, owned by one of the best artists in the entire industry. I would not go any place elce.

Got a butterfly tattoo done in 2019 by Paul, clean lines solid work but I didn't feel comfortable in the atmosphere and I didn't feel like I got the design I really was looking for but I didn't necessarily hate what I was left with. Good art just be prepared to really speak up for yourself and what you're looking for. Also During my tattoo there was a lot of breaks which didn't seem necessary in my opinion (3 hour appointment which turned into a 4 hour appointment for a simple butterfly) especially since you're causing someone pain.
I didn't ask for a break but I understand the artist could need one but I've also had an 8 hour session somewhere else and there was not near as many breaks as I had here. I didn't appreciate the fact that his focus seemed to be more into talking to the attractive coworker about partying and past stripping jobs than my tattoo. Seems like she purposely engages and distracted the artist because I was being charged by the hour too.
I've waited a while to post this because I've been trying to love my tattoo but it's really nothing special and I thought I could grow to love it more but it's been the same distaste I've had for it since I've got it. Life lesson learned the hard way.

Had an appointment with Jeffery and he did an amazing job. Told him what I wanted and the design he had was better than I could have imagined myself, even for a simple tattoo. The finished tattoo looks amazing. Another guy was getting something much more complex at the time and I was blown away by how good it looked. The tattoo artists at Elysium are some of the best in the area. You may have to wait a bit for an appointment, but the quality is well worth it.

Positive:Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value Brandon did a lyric from my dad and I's favorite Beatles song on a watercolor background and it turned out amazing on both of us! Not only are the tattoos amazing but Brandon was friendly, professional and patient. Plus everything was really clean and the environment was beautiful. Would recommend!

Paul Lunetta just finished up a very special memorial portrait of my dad for me. I still can't even believe how amazing the tattoo came out. Paul does incredible work and is very good at communicating his ideas and listening to your ideas throughout the entire process. I will definitely be back to have him do more work. All the artists there have incredible talent and it is very cool to see how they each genuinely care about what each other are working on. I'd recommend Paul or any of the artists at Elysium to anyone!

One of the best in the west. The whole shop is filled with awesome artists. They are professional and friendly. I am working with Paul on an epic back piece and can't wait to finish. Will definitely be a return client. Do your research and you'll see this is a place you should trust with your body. Price doesn't matter when your putting something on you for life.

I had a 2 day appointment on Friday with Arlo. I'm not sure what people expect out of an artist but I've watched stuff he posted and 100% new what to expect. Tesla, the shop manager is awesome. She responded to emails and took calls instantly, which is refreshing when you asume it is going to take a while because they are so well known. I was selected to get a tattoo done by Arlo and she worked with me on the date and I SUPER appreciated it I was so excited to be accepted, had a date in mind, but needed a week to make sure I could do it and she was nice enough to give me that week!
Her intro email told me to bring all the food and drinks I would need for the time there and that Arlo will stay until 3 am some days. Having had previous long day tattoos I showed up with two meals, a ton of snacks, gatorade and a drink. I put them in the fridge and every time we took a break, grabbed something. As for Arlo, I knew he likes to tattoo with earbuds in and not much convo, which I'm totally ok with.
I showed with my ipad filled with Dexter and I watched while he tattooed. Long story short, it hurt like a bitch but was every bit worth it! Day two, we were there until 5 am the next morning. His perfectionism shows through his work, which is amazing. My brother was sooooooo jealous. My husband is a super fangirl of Arlo, Ryan, and Tesla and requested a picture with the four of us.
They were happy to oblige and my husband is a happy camper (considering he didnt come on this trip!) Would I do this again? You bet your ass. Arlo is and ARTIST. I am thrilled to have his work on my arm! Next up, Ryan;)

I've been tattooed by multiple artists at this shop and every time has been an absolute amazing experience. I couldnt be happier with the work done by the artists, the atmosphere and over all experience while at this studio. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful. Getting in that first time was a bit of a wait, which is to be accepted with such high demand artists, but the process besides that was easy and rescheduling is never a problem always get back on the books pretty quick. I recommend all my friends and family here and wouldnt go anywhere else

I had a appointment schedule for 8hours of work. I change my mind on the tatoo. And ask him if i can do 2-3 small tatoo instead of the piece. And told me that the tatoo that literally a dig pad maybe take 8hours. What a joke? For sure, you can lose your deposit like that. Because even if i do 1 hour i have to pay for a full day! You can keep the $100. That won't make you lucky to do staff like that! Adam is when i was talking to him was very snobby and rude with me. Do not recommend!

You need to hire better front desk staff. I texted twice, sent a Facebook message, and then finally was able to get her to answer the phone. When she found out that the artist couldn't accommodate us, she didn't even bother calling me back. I finally had to call again just to find out an answer. HORRIBLE SERVICE!

What a great place! Above and beyond what you'd ever expect from a tattoo studio or any other professional business. It was such an amazing experience for me. Arlo is of course my dude, but all the artist there are world class and very friendly. Tesla, the studio manager is top notch and super kind. Communication was a breeze and I couldn't have asked for things to go any smoother.
The studio also has a very unique design with some of the coolest furniture and the place is kept spotless. Overall my experience here was spectacular and I am looking forward to my next visit and getting another one of a kind piece of art.
