Certified Tattoo Studios

Sean T is AMAZINGLY talented and so nice. He completely transformed an old tattoo of mine. Highly recommend him and everyone at the shop is super nice! Clean and professional shop!

My friend and I went in for a walk in and Justin at the front was super nice and got us with Ryan Rish to start designing our tattoos. Ryan designed both of our tattoos and made them just how we wanted. He was quick and very helpful. Will definitely be coming back.

My mom wanted to get her first tattoo and do a very fine line heart with some script. The booking process was very seamless. I booked an appointment online, had someone reach out within 24 hours and help me book a date and time with an artist that specializes in that. Mike did a great job with my mom! Very chill and made her feel comfortable the entire process. Easy to talk to and ultimately a great artist! Highly recommend Fine Line Mike. It was also Christmas Eve and the team at the studio were just incredibly nice and made my mom feel welcomed.

Twenty five years of tattooing and I have never had a better experience getting a color piece than I did with Sean T.

Starting with Luis making booking an absolute breeze, moving to Chastity at check in having paperwork ready to go and ending with Sean T. not only going above and beyond with care during my appointment, but going out of his way to make sure I was safe.

I have cancer and am the definition of immunocompromised. Sean T. made sure everything was wiped down twice, that I was always comfortable in my positioning and he afforded me as many breaks as I needed for my pain and nausea. He won't like me saying it, but he is a rock star for how he makes his clients feel.

My tattoo is perfection - the shading, the coloring, the linework - explicitly what I envisioned and it is thanks to Sean T. and the rest of the staff at Certified Tattoo Studios that I now proudly wear my artwork.

Thanks Sean T.

After a troubled tattoo experience of an artist who created a cool concept but never saw it through, was unreliable, was a sketchy character, etc., I went to Certified Tattoo Studios. I told the consultant on the phone about my situation, he was really pleasant, helpful, and ultimately very accurate in recommending me to Soda Pop for finishing the other artist's work (which has to be commended as an amazing quality of character, can-do-attitude, and versatility as tattoo artists usually aren't keen on this) with his expertise in full color and even color realism at that to finish my piece. Through the whole process from the front desk through Soda Pop and all of the artists I met in between, this shop honestly opened my eyes to what a tattoo shop can be with its professionalism, welcoming atmosphere, warm culture, and expansive options for tattoos. But most specifically why I vouch so much for this shop based on my experience, it was my time with friendly, considerate, flexible, respectful, empathetic, and artistically excellent Soda Pop. He took on a difficult challenge and one that some other artists may not be considerate, open-minded, and opportunistic enough to handle and handle with great decency to the client. And not only considering this specific context, but just in general it is easy to intuit Soda's character and enjoy his light-heartedness, humor, pro-client, and even just pro-people attitude. All of this is to say that whether you are talking specifically about Soda Pop (which you should seriously think about if his wide range of style is suitable for you!) in his character and excellent craft or the shop in general from consulting, front desk, through the artists, I could not recommend Certified Studios and Soda Pop enough!

As soon as Justin got there and other artist he welcomed me in, I was a walk in and he made sure I got the right artist for the tattoo I was getting. It all happened very fast, the artists seem very reliable, fun, and overall the entire shop gives off a great vibe (which I loved). My artist was John Harden, he made sure to inform me about his experience so I felt comfortable and he even sat down with me to sketch/ clean up my personal design I had brought in with no unasked changes. I would’ve originally been charged $800 but he dropped it down to my budget $500 which I am super duper great full for. Had a great laugh, felt super comfortable, and overall his work is amazing and I will definitely be coming back. THANK YOU EVERYONE AT CERTIFIED TATTOO!!

After contemplating getting a tattoo over the past year, I decided the time had come to make an appointment. I attempted to get a consult at two different studios in the area. Neither of these studios returned my calls despite even stopping in to one and getting the artist's cell phone number. Based on Google review ratings, I decided to make one last attempt and called Certified Tattoo. My experience was completely different with Certified! A representative actually answered my call and walked me through the process. I was able to get an appointment within a week. As I entered the W. Colfax location, I was greeted by Zane. He was a friendly guy and got me checked in. I then met the artist - Sean T. Sean reviewed the draft stencil with me and we agreed on the design and color, He walked me through what to expect during and after the process. His work is OUTSTANDING! Wow, he is one talented guy! I had such a positive experience that three days later I booked another appointment with Sean T. for my second tat. The operation is extremely well run, very clean, and committed to quality artistry. Bottom line, you simply can't go wrong with Certified Tattoo!

This tattoo studio is incredible. Housed in a used-to-be bowling alley this place is massive and covered in wall-to-wall art. Justin was very kind and professional receiving me at the desk and William did an incredible job with my tattoo. I got a pretty big tattoo so the whole experience lasted around 5 hours but I was very comfortable the whole time. The studio was clean, played excellent music, and was exactly what I was looking for in a tattoo studio. 10/10 would go back for another!

I came in for a tattoo with my friend and Mike was absolutely amazing. It was my first one, and he was super helpful and receptive to my questions and requests. He took his time and really made it super special! I would recommend him to anyone!

When we walked in the lobby was hopping but the guy working reception acknowledged us & got us situated right away. Gretchen was outstanding. She talked us through every step of the piercing process explaining the how and why behind everything she was doing. She was super sweet and personable & really made my needle phobic daughter feel comfortable. I appreciated watching her sterile technique too. Great experience all around…
