I’ll start with this, I never do online reviews, but I felt this one was absolutely necessary.Jake did an AMAZING job on my tattoo! I normally am not a “small talk” person, but he was so easy to talk to that I felt like I was talking to an old friend. He was very professional and asked for my input on the design. The only negative I could say is that his work makes my other tattoo look like it was done by an amateur 😆 My husband and I are now fighting over who gets to go first for our next tattoo. I’ll be back soon!

I was taken care of by Alaska, he was so awesome and encouraged my input. The colors are funominal, I couldnt ask for anything more!

Got a new cross tattoo and had another tattoo re-worked by Caleb/Alaska. Love what he came up with for the cross and the flowers on my other one now look exactly like I had hoped. (He corrected another guys work.) Thanks Alaska for taking the time to make a customer happy!!

Absolutely phenomenal tattoo experience! My artist, Alaska, did an incredible job of transferring a very personal and meaningful sketch, that my oldest daughter created, onto my forearm. At my request, he also added his expert artistic interpretation and skill to create a piece that far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend allowing the tattoo artist the freedom to put their personal touch on any tattoo idea - they know what will look great on skin! The entire staff is very welcoming and clearly love what they do. The books and scrolling screen images of their work blew me away. And I can’t say enough positive things about Brandy - such an engaging young woman that makes you feel like family and ensures everything is taken care of. This place easily earned my loyalty and I will be returning. Thanks again Alaska - you killed it bro!

Alaska did my first *real* tattoo. I told him to do whatever he thought would look cool after showing him an idea, and he came back with a way cooler design. It turned out beautiful. I had a great experience & I am definitely coming back for more!!

Jake and Ryan have done amazing work, with amazing service at a great price.

Awesome staff!!!! I took my son in for his first tattoo...loved my son’s so much my wife and I went back for matching tattoos!!!!ALASKA IS THE MAN!!! Very creative and innovative guy!!! Gets it right the first time.Will definitely be backDJ

The most fun I’ve had getting a tattoo. Alaska our tattoo artist was Amazing! Never laughed so much definitely going back for my next tattoo

Very professional. I had a great experience. I brought in my idea and they made it a reality. I would recommend anyone who is local to come here.

First tattoo experience here was stellar! Brian was my artist and he was very professional, experienced, knowledgable, and highly skilled. Awesome to converse with through the process as well. Felt very comfortable and taken care of here. 10/10 would definitely return for another sesh!

If I could leave Alex 10 stars I absolutely would. He is a phenomenal artist, professional, clean and took what I wanted and made it better then I ever could have imagined. The kind of work I am proud to carry with me every day. Well worth the wait and I wont go to anyone but Alex again!

Very happy with my results getting an old tattoo removed by laser. It worked extremely well compared to other laser removal I have used in the past.

I had an awesome experience getting a 4 hour St Michael Tatto by Alex. My first time there and am looking forward to going back in November. I had it done 3 days ago and I’ve yet to have any swelling or negative side effects. I would recommend Alex to anyone! Thanks a lot Alex! Looking forward to seeing you in November!

I couldnt be more pleased with my work done by Ryan Cactus Jack. I came in with a simple design and he put his creative mind to work. His knowledge about traditional work crossed over in the this tattoo. Besides his amazing artwork, his customer service is excellent. Always greeting me with a smile and making sure I was comfortable. I would highly recommend these folks for any new work, piercings, and laser hair or tattoo removal! Thank you again Ryan!

The ONLY reason Im giving Alex Meekin from Castle Rock Tattoo five stars is because I cant give him six! I sat with Alex for an 8 hour session recently, kicking off an extensive piece that will be built out over time, and now I dont want anyone else BUT Alex working on it. From consult to healing, Alex was nothing short of an artist and a true professional. He takes his work VERY seriously, offers some tough yet much needed design advice, and makes every piece portfolio-worthy. The shop itself is great, clean, and the staff friendly...but I simply cant recommend Alex enough.

Just got my led zeppelin tattoo done here! Absolutely the best place I’ve been too after looking around. Alex did an amazing job and definitely made me feel welcome. I will for sure be getting all my next tattoos done here and I recommend you do as well!

Brian did an amazing job on my simple, yet meaningful tattoo today. Very friendly, welcoming, and overall dope environment. Highly recommended this shop to anyone looking to get great local work done.

Got tattooed by Brian today and it looks AWESOME. He was super professional, talked through the his art with me first, and did an amazing job. (He even let me pick the music). I received compliments on it minutes after leaving the shop. Another artist, Alex, also hung out with us for awhile which was really cool. A very welcoming, clean shop; would highly recommend.

I love this place, honestly. Everyone is super friendly. I was super nervous for my first big tattoo and Alex reassured me. He made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted and gave me breaks when I felt I needed them. He does his best to minimize pain, while still creating beautiful pieces of art. Their apprentice, TJ, (Ive gotten two tattoos from him) has been amazing. Hes dedicated to learning and is learning fast. Hes a bit heavier handed, since hes learning, but his work looks great! I highly recommend this place!

This place is awesome! Ryan was so detailed and very attentive. He took my idea and turned it into something beautiful. He is truly an amazing artist. Very nice atmosphere, and great people! I am very pleased and will be coming back!

Brian has been doing my Japanese Sleeve and I couldn’t be happier... all the artists at this shop are great and it’s the most welcoming shop I’ve ever been in! No stigma and great art going on here!

Top notch place just got my very first tattoo there today. Was nervous but excited and Brian Billmaier was as good as they come. Talked me through the process and was explained what everything was. I dont know if anymore tattoos are in my future but if I do get more I will for sure be going back to Brian.

A few weeks back I traveled from NY to get work done by Ryan. By far, one of the best experiences Ive had with any artist. Hes very professional, passionate and has an amazing talent! Ill definitely be making another trip to Colorado for work in the future. His shop is clean, the staff I was able too meet are friendly and skillful in their own areas. I Highly recommend Ryan!!

This is an amazing shop, clean friendly and down to earth, amazing quality and affordable removal!!! All the services plus donating time and dedicates towards helping Operation Tattooing Freedom by helping veterans dealing with traumas of war and their service. Amazing all around!!! Come one,come all!!!

Jana did an amazing job on my wife’s and my latest tattoos. Very professional, talented, and made it a nice experience for us both. She’s a great artist and was able to take my idea and make it much better. The other artists seem to have some mad skill, as well, so I’d highly recommend these guys!

This is HANDS DOWN the best tattoo shop that I have ever been to! The shop is welcoming, and inviting, instead of being creepy, and intimidating, like some shops. I have (personally) used their tattoo, and laser, services and HIGHLY recommend both. Ryan is an amazing, and talented, (beyond talented) tattoo artist, and Jorie is a great laser tech! 10 STARS.

Brain was an amazing artist. He did me and my mom on a walk in and free hand the sketches. He was so patient and thoroughly explained what he was doing.

The way a tattoo shop should be, clean, personable, and professional! I have been getting my tattoos from Castle Rock Tattoo and Laser Removal Co. for over two years now and every appointment I walk away with the feeling of belonging to a family and personal art that I take pride in showing off!Thank you Castle Rock Tattoo and Laser Removal Co.! See you at my next appointment!

As somebody new to the idea of a tattoo Iam absolutely and completely satisfied with the results of my tattoo. Brian was more than professional, clean artistic and couldnt have done a better job! The establishment is very nice and makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. Jeff, the owner, is very friendly and was kind in my first conversation about my tattoo. People looking for their first tattoo will feel the trust and professionalism I felt during my experience. And for those that know about tattoos, youll be amazed at all of their work. Definitely check them out!

BE AWARE...They will tell you they can tattoo a design, take your money and then on the day of your appointment you find out they cant do the design. Very disappointed. My daughter and I took a picture of a tattoo that we wanted into the shop. They very clearly said Yes, we can do that We proceeded to put down our retainer that was very clearly communicated to us that if we missed our appointment, we would forfeit the money. We showed up for our appointment on time and had every intention to have the tattoo done. Alex said sit down here and pick a font...WHAT. I very clearly gave him a picture of exactly what we wanted. I expected him to at least go try and draw it up to get close to what we wanted. Isnt what what a tattoo artist does? Long story very short, Alex was not able/or willing to tattoo the design we took him, AND HE ALSO KEPT OUR RETAINER. I was hoping that they would do the right thing and refund our deposit, but his email was very clear that was not an option.

Jeffery lester is a fantastic artist. He has down two pieces for me and I couldnt be happier. His attention to detail is outstanding. He will make sure to understand what you want and will be sure you leave happy. All around great artist. I would recommend from black a grey to full color.

You know how you can imagine something you want, see it in your mind, and if youre not an artist it can be difficult to present that to someone else to create for you? Well, Jana took my *very* rough ideas and came up with EXACTLY what I wanted, but even better. My tattoo turned out so perfect I cant believe it. Ive got several others so I know to steel myself for the inevitable slight disappointment in the final result - this is better than what I expected and I cant stop looking at it.She gave her artistic input but in the end deferred to me without making me feel pressured to do or like anything. She kept me in the loop during the entire drawing process and just made the experience a really good/ cooperative one. Plus she was super cool and it was a great time. I will for sure be going back for more work soon. Five stars all the way around.

Great tattoo shop! Friendly, clean and courteous environment. The best tattoo shop in Castle Rock and maybe the whole Denver area. My wife and I both got tattoos and love them.Keep up the great work, will recommend!

Love this place!! Everyone is so nice and kind! I got an updo of an old tattoo by Ryan and he did AMAZING! I love showing people before and after pictures!

Just had my first ever laser hair removal. The shop was so clean and professional! Ryan was super quick, too! I will absolutely be returning and highly recommend them.

Clean, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Incredible talent in Ryan, his work is flawless! They offer laser tattoo removal too, all in one place. Yabuco does beautiful work as well. The staff is friendly, and they run promotions that support our Military and First Responders, as well as local charities. Go see them, you wont be disappointed!

I flew in from Washington state to have floral work done on my arm. Ryan is patient, incredibly talented, detail oriented, and keeps a clean workplace. My experience was well worth the cost of the flight and I will be returning. Highly recommended.

Jana did an amazing job on my first tat. Highly recommend going to her for your tattoos. Made my tattoo exactly how I want it. Thank you Jana

Super pleased with my laser hair removal! Would recommend it to anyone. So worth it....Jorie is amazing also.

Ive been more than impressed by this shop and everyone Ive encountered. Ive had tattoo laser removal done and as well as piercings and have had multiple good experiences. Great job CRTLR!

I am getting my tattoo lasered off with Ryan and Im so excited to see it come off completely! This process makes me feel sooo much better because I see how fast its going. The Pain is worth it.! I really recommend coming here if you need to remove a unwanted tattoo! They are very friendly. I have also seen amazing cover ups and tattoos on their instagram so make sure you check them out!

Jeff did my tattoo this week and it turned out amazing! Very professional and precise. I would highly recommend this establishment!

Really cool environment and great service! Jana was great her lettering is amazing, certainly going to come back again.

Cleanest shop that Ive ever visited. Fantastic artists! Made me feel welcome and worked with me to find a great solution for covering up a piece that had been done badly (to say the least) at another studio in town. Id hated my ink for 2 years. I loved having the option of removing or working it over. We opted to work it over and the results are amazing. Gaddiel Yabuco is new to Colorado, but has been tattooing for over 10 years. I felt very honored to be his first repeat client here in Castle Rock. His vision and talent are spectacular. Gentle hand and easy going spirit! I will be back!! :)

Very professional and clean shop, great service, super welcoming. Alex Meekin was wonderful, did some great tattoos on my friends and I. Would definitely recommend a visit for some custom work!

Best experience ive ever had at a tattoo shop.

Extremely profession tattoo shop. Staff is highly trained, very clean, and friendly. Highly recommend to anyone needing a new tat, a cover up or laser removal of that tattoo you got on a bet.

Its a clean and professional place. The artists are great and do an awesome job. This is my go to place to get my tattoos

Great staff and awesome looking tattoos. Id recommend coming here.

Ryan is the best ... he does quality work and takes pride in his art work!!!

Amazing artists and friendly faces. I love the variety of services they offer.

This place it the best to get great tattoos and there high quality

Alex Meekin did an awesome job on my tattoo!

Love love love the staff! The artists are amazing!

I do not appreciate the attitude i got when i call. Never going there. So disrespectful!

Laser tattoo removal hurts like sh * t, but Ryan is so patient, nice, competent, he explaines everything and somehow thanks to him I am able to go through the sessions. Thank you Ryan.

Great artists and they do removals on site as well! No more dark cover ups!!!

Great people .amazing artists

Good price, great artwork, very friendly
