Peter Tat2

Would definitely recommend this place and will be going back! Dan is the man! We went in for our mother/​daughter tattoos and he hooked us up, we love them!

Had a great experience with Dan. My boyfriend went in and got a tattoo today and it came out great and we were overall impressed with how easy and hasslefree it was to get it done quickly. They were friendly and greeted us right away and helped us get a tattoo drawn up and finished it the next day.

My artist was really friendly and gave me ideas about what I should do. Very clean work and created a piece that I proud to have on my body. Thanks to Peter Tattoo I have a great price of art forever! I would definitely recommend this place 100%! Not as expensive as some other places I have been and the tattoo healed nicely! Thanks again!

Awesome people, awesome atmosphere. I enjoy going to that shop more than any shop I’ve previously been in. Jeff always does a killer job and is the greatest to talk to while getting tattooed.

I’m a buttoned-​down exec. Never even contemplated a tattoo. When life changed that … I was interested and curious but un-​informed and concerned … mostly about doing something dumb and the permanent nature of the decision.
I wandered into Peter Tat2, met owner Colin. He is a complete stud. Artist? clearly. Very professional? yes. Runs a tight shop? check. But he’s also just a great, down-​to-​earth, approachable guy. Never did I feel dissed for being a novice, not having a clue, or asking ‘dumb’ questions. Quite the contrary, he was excited to introduce me to his world.
I wanted a small tattoo, Colin taught me about «bold will hold.» I got the advice I sought, we developed the design together, he helped me think about things I never would have considered. And the result is … now I have an incredible piece on my forearm. My nephew (who has his own body art) couldn’t believe it was real — that’s how clean the lines are. Can’t recommend Colin/​Peter Tat2 enough.

Colin B (who is also the shop owner) does an amazing job! I’ve been getting work from him for 3 almost 4 years about. He’s amazing at color work and pretty much a badass all around artist. I mean seriously check out his paintings in there you’ll see what I mean.
I have multiple thigh pieces, one on my side stomach ish area, we’re working on my sleeve now and are getting pretty close to finishing it. My chest is done too and I have a few things one other shoulder. Oh and he’s done my wings on my back.
If you’re looking to find a badass artist who can do pretty much anything and make it 10 283 018 292 times more awesome than what you thought it would look like in your head, then go see Colin Benson. He’s the shit, the end.

I’m giving the tattoo studio 3 stars bc I saw definite potential in the work of the other artists that were there when I was. However, my experience was definitely not very good.
About 2 months ago I took my young cousin in to get her first, very small tattoo. I have several and wanted another, also a small very plain piece. We were assigned to Steve who was none too happy with the tattoos we wanted and made it very clear.
From the very beginning, had I been alone, I would have walked out but my cousin had her heart set on getting her first ink while she was visiting. He stomped around and tried to talk us out of what we wanted (variations of cats). He said to me, «do you even have any tattoos?» When I showed him two fairly large colorful pieces he quipped, «so you know what a good tattoo looks like, why are you trying to make me do this?» Um… bc it’s my body and I have a right to want whatever I want on it?
The tattoo I got was about the size of a silver dollar, all black. Again, I have several pieces, I know how it’s supposed to feel. He dug into my skin with such vigor that my skin looked like ground meat when we left. Also 2/3’s of the color (black) is already out of it so I’ll be repaying to have it fixed elsewhere.
While he was tattooing the tiny piece on my cousin he commented that he wouldn’t mind doing a penis or a swastikas if it looked good but basically he was pretty unhappy about wasting his talent on us.
She was charged the minimum bc it was so small. To me he said, «I’ll charge you X bc I assume you’ll be tipping». Which I did and have regretted ever since.
Being new to the area I was excited about all the excellent reviews, but I know I’ll have to continue to search for a good ink shop.

Felix is awesome he is clean, professional and straight forward about his work. My tat is as black as it gets, bold and beautiful the lines are clean and I will surly be back for more. not to mention the demonic barbies and pulverized pony toys are very cool. worth a look see no joking.

These tattoo artist are worthy of Michelangelo and da Vinci himself they come up with the most creative tattoos and if you have an idea just give it to them and they will make it better, Colin is one of the best tattooist around he knows his craft

LOVE these guys! Everyone knows what they are doing & they are super friendly & fun at the same time. Basically, ditto to all the good reviews :)

Hands down– best tattoo experience yet!!! I walked in, was immediately warmly greeted. After being introduced to Colin (who is also the shop owner) we started discussing my vision. I supplied some tear sheets to better give him an idea of what I was thinking. He asked me to give him a few hours to draw something up, and exactly two hours later he introduced me to his artistic and very well intercepted creation of what I was looking for. That evening I walked away with the piece of art I wanted for so long, permanently embedded into my skin. The entire experience was professional, relaxing, and very enjoyable. I have yet to have this type of experience at any tattoo shop, and highly encourage, and recommend you pay these guys a visit! Thanks Colin! I am looking forward to working with you again on my next piece!

I’ll make this short and sweet — I live around the corner and have always walked passed Peter Tat2 and sort of got the vibe that it was either super skeezy, with cracked out artists schlepping hepatitis from one greasy person to the next, OR it was an old-​school parlor with an old-​school staff that knows exactly what they’re doing.
It was option 2! I walked in on my birthday this past Wednesday wanting to get a simple tattoo and knowing it may not happen as I didn’t have an appointment. (I have several tats and know the drill) I talked to Colin and he has got to be one of the most personable artists I’ve worked with. He immediately hooked me up with a time frame for THAT DAY, started working on my idea and waved goodbye with a smile as I hoofed it across the street to Fat Sully’s for some slices so I’d be all set for a tat.
I came back to find him still in a jovial mood, sketch ready, equipment set-​up, waiver form ready for photocopy. He did exactly what I asked, which was a simple design based on the Denver flag, executed it beautifully and made great conversation with my friend and I as I got tattooed. He is one of those artists who has really cultivated his craft but still understands that the tattooing business is a people business.
Colin informed he won’t be going anywhere any time soon, loves the shop and the location and is ready to help update the shop. I look forward to getting more work done by him in the future!

Went in without having a clue what I wanted in the way of a tribute to my brothers. After talking with the artist for a bit we came up with a bangin design that captured exactly what I didn’t even know I wanted. He was able to take my words and come up with a custom design that I will be proud to show off whenever possible.
The place is clean.
Staff is super friendly and professional.
Not only do they hear you but they LISTEN.
While I had an appointment they do take walk-​ins.
Hours are very convenient.
Parking can be a trick depending on the time of day (and day of the week). But, I was lucky enough to get the Suburban right in front! Woo hoo! The #15 bus stops wtihin 1 block and it runs frequently (every 15 to 30 minutes). Park at a lite rail — get downtown — get the bus. Pretty simple.
They don’t know it yet but I have a huge back piece planned for him to do (probably about 100 hours of work). Hope to see you there!

Rene is the best, he has done 4 tattoo’s for me so far (and fixed ones done elsewhere). his artwork is perfect, and when i brought him a design it was done exactly as i wanted it. this is the only shop that i will have anything done from anymore. even if i have to drive 70 miles past dozens of other shops, i will always come here.

I had a tattoo done by Michelle Cutler. I asked for a mix of a personal piece of art along with a poem and had her pick the font — my only advice was that I wanted it to look like wind. She did a fantastic job on my tattoo, staying true to the art I wanted and coming up with the most beautiful print I could imagine! The work was done fast, and very professionally, and healed quikcly and perfectly. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to get a tatttoo to visit Michelle or anyone else at Peter Tat-​2! I wish all my other tattoos were done by her, because I am more than pleased with the results!

Tattoo’s are very personal, and finding an artist that does amazing work is difficult. My wife and i both got cover-​ups, very very happy with the result.

So, I’m not actually the one who got tatt’d but I will have to live with it for the rest of my life. My husband recently got his leg sleeved by James. He endured 9 hours of pain for an AMAZING tattoo! The whole front of his leg is an angel looking up with her hands folded together, the side has my daughter’s name down it with shamrocks randomly placed among the letters, the back is my favorite, it is a portrait of our daughter’s face with her original feet prints from the hospital and «My Brown Eyed Girl» underneath. Next to Kat from L.A. Ink, there is nobody else that my husband (or myself) would trust doing portrait work. James has his work online and he is a brilliant portrait artist! Super high recommendation for James!!!
Oh, one more thing! We were out to dinner last week and an older gentleman noticed my husband’s tatt and said, «Must be Peter Tattoo»! That was awesome!

If you are up for a new tattoo — I HIGHTLY recommend James at Peter Tat 2.
I came in with some work already done (I was super unhappy with the shading that had been done originially) and James and I worked on «pulling» out some of the shading and deciding on colors and design to make the tat more «feminine». I am absolutely in love with the work he has done!
Not only is he a great artist, he is also just flat out a really great guy and I also thoroughly enjoy the entire staff. It is a small shop but those who work there are all super sweet, nice and just fun to talk with while getting work done.
I have had a number of back surgeries, hence a really wonderful tat to cover the scars and the work James has done after a number of surgeries is just amazing!
