I had an appointment with Brady at noon, he didn’t show up til about 1235. Then he didn’t even start my tattoo until after 2pm. If I could have gotten my deposit back I would have and went somewhere else. But I know I will NEVER go back to Electric Crayon ever again!!!!!

This place was great! I came in to add some piercings to my ear but I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted. Bri was amazing and helped me map out my ears and choose the right jewelry. I was nervous but she made it a great experience and talked me through everything. Ended up adding an orbital and 2 helix and I’m so happy with them!

This shop is top notch. The artists are friendly and very professional. Brady is a outstanding tattooist and I will definitely be back. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking to get inked their prices are fair and the art is phenomenal. If I could give 10 stars I would.

I have been tatted there and I recently took my sister. The artists are amazing and professional. The work is awesome and they don't charge an arm and a leg!

Nice, clean and active space but the highlight of the shop is without a doubt the shining star of the shop is James. Enormously skilled artist, professional and OG tattooer, and an authentic and genuinely good man. I'm so blessed to have found someone of his caliber.

My friend and I came in to get a couple of piercings this weekend. Bri was amazing! We were really nervous and weren't sure what to get done at first. She helped us decide on our daith and helix piercings and did a great job of easing our anxiety! Our piercings turned out fabulous and everyone else in the shop was really nice. This is definetly our go to place now.

Went in to get my septum with a few friends. when getting the piercing, it hurt really bad. like so bad. the piercing was extremely low, and out of obvious concern i went to a different place because of how bad it was. turns out, bri (the piercer) went STRAIGHT through my nose cartilage. not even close to touching the actual part where your septum is supposed to go. out of curiousity my other friends wanted to make sure their piercing was in the right place. they weren’t! although closer to the actual spot they were still touching cartilage. don’t go here.

I went to get a tattoo with my boyfriend. We went in as walk ins. We both got our tattoos done by James. And his work is amazing. Not only is he very professional and kind. He takes his work serious and takes pride in it as well. He is very experienced and you can tell by his tattoo quality. He was very patient with regards of our tattoo size and answered all of our questions. This is by far my favorite tattoo. I would definitely recommend getting your tattoo here. We will be definitely going back.

Me and my friend got a tattoo done by Joel, not only did he screw it up, he didn't even offer a discount after screwing it up. we both have multiple tattoos and none have been done this poorly, or healed this badly. DO NOT go here.

I got a tattoo from Johnny B. Here not long ago. He had good pressure with the tattoo gun but at times he was heavy handed and there is a small blowout towards the top of my tattoo. This tattoo is all linework so it's fairly noticeable. Though I'm disappointed about the blowout the tattoo is still exactly what I asked for. I hope the blowout fades within time since it's not too pigmented.
I would have given 4.5 stars but majority of employees were also not wearing masks so I took of .5 for that.

My girlfriend and I went to get a tattoo today. They said all of their artists were all booked up for tomorrow but they had a walk in available for tonight so we went. When we got there we talked to Antonio and my girlfriend told him that she wanted a tattoo near her butt (which was part of why she wanted me to come in the first place: she felt slightly uncomfortable about it) and he insisted that he would not give her the tattoo unless I wasn't there. One might think this is because of the covid situation, but there was a group of 4 or 5 customers nearby in this small shop socializing (not

We have been going to the Electric Crayon for several years. My Husband has had several tattoos done. At the time they were nice. My Daughter got her nose pierced there. The girl who did it was so kind. The guy that answered the phone was beyond rude to my Daughter. Not just one time every time she called. I get it it's a tattoo shop, But never will we recommend or give business to them. Hopefully that guy can act professional next . Well doubt it . We won't EVER go back. Luckily my Daughter found a new place.

My brother and I went here for our first tattoos back in November. I came in with a drawing I made the night before and the next day we had an appointment. Javi and Steve made us feel welcome from the start. Before we showed up Steve was already working on my tattoo design for the stencil. He came out made sure everything was right for my liking and explained how it would come out and if something wasnt exactly how I designed it before. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He talked to me through out the tattoo and so did Javi. Even when my parents left to get dinner, they made sure I

I had a very horrible experience here. I called over the phone and scheduled a tattoo appointment for myself later that day. When I arrived 20 minutes early prior to my appointment, I was told by the very rude and dismissive lady at the front desk that they had given my appointment time away to a "walk in". I was very upset that they gave away my time slot to people who didn't even have an appointment, much less far before my appointment time. Had I been late to my appointment, that would've been understandable. This business does not value their customers or their opinions

I came in hoping to get my anti-tragus pierced, however, per the piercer's request he said that that area doesn't heal well. Following and trusting his advice, I wanted his creative opinion as to what other piercings he would recommend. He then recommended 3 flat backs.

I found a picture on Pinterest of 3 piercings that formed a triangle (seen in pic). Javi was friendly and patient as we lined everything up. When he marked everything, it looked perfect. But after enduring the 3 needles, I looked in the mirror and saw that two of the holes where much closer together. I expressed my concern

Did a walk-in with Steve and he was really friendly and professional. Only had to wait about 20 minutes for the stencils and then a few revisions to the stencils. I got 2 tattoos and the price was fair, not a cheapo place but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! My tattoos are PERFECT!! I've went to a few other tattoo shops nearby and although it was cheap the price tattoos were bad quality. Stop by and ask for Steve! For sure found my new Colorado tattoo shop! Thank you so so much, great work!

Today, I went in to get a tattoo and Steve refused to do my tattoo.

In depth, I made an appointment for 7/17 at 5pm. On the day of the appointment, I went in the shop and waited 15 minutes to find out that Steve was not in the shop due to a finger injury. Not a big deal at all. I understand that emergencies come up. I was a bit disappointed in how they communicated this with me because all I received was a missed call, 30 minutes prior to the appointment. I called the number right back, but no one answered, so I thought it was a spam call. There was no text message nor a voice message. I was told

Thank you for making it super easy for me to run and slap a bunch of money on a card to surprise my friend with a tattoo for Christmas!!!

I wanted to do something for her that she wouldn't do for herself! She's always helping her friends and family and the special needs kids she teaches in school, so what better way to show a little gratitude to her for being the amazing person she is!

She got an appointment like 3 weeks later and chose to go with a yellow butterfly with her grandmothers signature in the wings and she loves it! I love it too! Her artist did an amazing job!

Thank

I love this shop and they do a great job piercing. Johnny B did my helix piercing and Krysten did my conch. They were both super nice and very knowledgeable about piercings and I loved them both. The shop itself is clean to and has the clean shop smell. It has that clean smell, is open, and the paint job is sweet. They have a great variety of earrings as well along with gauge sizes for earrings. I had made the initial mistake of getting my helix done at Claire's and they joked with me about that mistake but they both did a great job on both of my piercings. I definitely plan on coming here
