Black Kraken Tattoo Studio — Local services in Longmont

My husband set up my octopus tattoo appointment with Mick for my birthday, and I am so grateful that we have made this new connection. First off, Mick and his wife Tasha are some of the coolest and realest people you will ever meet. I have an immense respect and appreciation for their craft and the dedication that they put into the work they do. You can tell how passionate and caring they are and how they weave their natural talents into the art they create. I wanted my octopus tattoo for a few years now, but hadn’t found an artist that truly captured the idea that I had in my head. When we met Mick, the stars just aligned and made it happen! Sorry for the long post, but I am so happy to meet them and work with them, and I’m already working with Tasha on designing my next pieces :) Mick and Tasha are the owners of Black Kraken, so by giving them your business, you are directly supporting them, the community, and real people, not just a corporation or a chain. Many many thanks, and I can’t wait to come back...

By the time I was done, I had forgotten there was even another tat under there! So pleased and you should do yourself a favor and get some ink from @Joshuastarketatoo at Black Kraken Tatoo Studio. P.S. Mik, the owner, has created a space for adults and a space for families to share in the experience together if you like. So come shoot a game of pool, chill with a movie and get some ink at the...

ANT did a beautiful job on my two impulse tattoo ideas! He was great for the entire process - from communication to make the final arrangements, listening to my thoughts about the design, ensured I would be happy with what I would have on my body forever, was comfortable the entirety of the time. He is an over all ge uine person and I recommend him for someone looking for an artist who is new to the area! Their website is easy to use and set something up. The owner Mick was present while I was there as well. He is kind and honest about any work you are looking to get done. All around a great shop to go to. Great vibes and amazing music!! Looking forward to going back to get...
