Strange Magic Tattoo

Love this place! I’ve gotten 5 tattoos from Eric and he is the best. Super chill dude and always make it a good time. Teddy is the man as well, I’ve had the pleasure of getting 2 pieces from him and hope to get the finished soon but I’ve been slacking. Sorry teddy! This summer is no slack summer, I’ll be back!! Want to get a predator tattoo from Weston as well. All the peeps here are the best and can’t give them enough praise!!

Teddy was great to work with and helped me bring a quickly envisioned tattoo to life. Super clean shop. He was knowledgeable, made some good recommendations and offered some great conversation. Will definitely be back!

I got my very first tattoo done on Mother’s Day by Weston. He designed matching bats for my son and I and did an absolutely amazing job! Weston is such a talented artist and I can’t wait to go back for another one! The shop was very clean, calm and relaxing and the positive atmosphere put me at ease. I highly recommend Strange Magic Tattoo!

If you are looking for reliable tattoo artists, these boys wrote the book. They will be completely honest about how your tattoo is going to age. They will be completely honest about the placement And how it matters. They work with a budget if you need one. And they will make absolute sure that this is a tattoo that you actually want for the sake of its art. And that way you dont regret it later. And on top of that, they have thousands and thousands of pieces that is their original art that you can get tattooed to support their art. These guys are the definition of a reliable tattoo shop.

TOUGH tats from tough dudes! Chi did a great job, was clean, professional and the overall experience was great. Couldn’t recommend enough. 10/10

Came here for three tattoos on my Birthday last year. Eric and I discussed at length what I wanted up until the date. He’s a class act on how to communicate exactly what you want when it comes to permanent body work. Highly recommend him for his artistry as well. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future.

Eric is an amazing artist! Love his style & the piece I got by him! I wasnt sure what to get but he made excellent suggestions and fit the space perfectly. Will absolutely be back for more work by Eric! Thanks again yall @chi.tattoos @strangemagictats

Eric is the best! I’ve gotten five tattoos from him in the last year and they are all amazing. Super comfortable vibe when you go in, friendly staff, and a whole lot of talent in one shop!

The studio is clean, well-organized, and filled with impressive artwork. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Whether youre new to tattoos or have many, I highly recommend Eric Nguyen and Strange Magic Tattoo.

Best tattoo shop in Boulder. Everyone is super kind and all three tattoos that Weston has done for me have come out amazing. Great work at great prices- check them out for your next tattoo!

I have personally received 3 tattoos from Teddy. A small swirly dragon, a medium sized forearm tattoo of a crow holding a rose, and a large calf piece of a snake with a sword going through it. All have solid line work, bold colors, and smooth shading. I would highly recommend Teddy to anyone wanting to get a great tattoo!Note: I flew out all the way from Georgia to Colorado for the leg tattoo. I would do it all over again and more than likely will in the future. Thanks again, Teddy, for your great work and kind hospitality!

My man Eric is dope. I’ve gotten 6 tattoos from him and plan on getting more. He’ll let you know what can and can’t be done. Takes his time and works to the absolute best of his ability. Super professional and he’s chill like that. lol. 10/10 would recommend.

Super cool place! Eric helped me out with a Pokémon tattoo and I couldn’t have been happier with the result to this day, almost a year later. The atmosphere was chill and everyone was having a good time. Hit up my boy Eric!

This is the the best tattoo shop in boulder. Teddy, Eric, and weston are all very talented artists.. Eric gave me my first tattoo and it came out great.. I couldnt be happier.. the shop is clean and full of great artwork and decorations and has good feng shui.. if I get another tattoo, I will be going here again!

Great Tattoo shop! The vibe is super chill and the skills are super potent. Eric is awesome and thoughtful. Im looking forward to getting another tattoo from him soon.

Definitely go here for any and all tattoos you are trying to get! Weston is super talented and worked with me to make a design that I absolutely loved, the facilities were super clean and sanitary and he made it an amazing experience overall!

I’ve gotten quite a few tattoo’s from here. Eric is my go to guy, but everyone here can give ya some good tats. Hell I bet they could make a SoundCloud rapper look good.

I will never get tattooed by any other shop. Ever. I took a week off from work and got tattooed by all three artists. First, I was killing time in the shop and opted to have Weston tattoo an unplanned spontaneous tiger. Within less than 2 hours, Weston came through with a phenomenal piece. I’d planned a multi-day session with Teddy to work on both of my arms. While waiting in between appointments, I then had Eric do three different pieces on my leg. I’d watched Weston and Eric both create amazing paintings while I was waiting and was instantly compelled to have them tattoo me. I’ve known Teddy for nearly 30 years. He’s done most of my work. Knowing he has taken great care in teaching Weston and Eric over the years, I had complete faith in all of them to do amazing work. Art aside, they’re all highly professional, considerate, and pay very close attention to detail as well as your comfort level. I could write a thesis on these guys. Seriously, book with them and you will not regret it.

Great shop. Lots of character. Teddy is a good dude, and great at what he does.

Eric is an awesome dude and wonderful artist! He drew me up an original idea and ended up turning out really sick! Definitely going back soon.

This shop is SICK!!! Ive gotten two pieces done by Eric that works here and he rocks. Everyone is nice but eric is really handsome. Ill be back next time i need some new ink💪

Extremely happy with my tattoo by Teddy. I contacted Teddy wanting to get a forearm tattoo and gave him little direction aside from AI Japanese Dragon with lots of color. I showed up to the appointment and Teddy had drawn exactly what I had in my head without me even knowing thats what I wanted. That first sitting was 5 hours long and he powered through most of it knowing I was on a time constraint. Through it all Teddy was constantly checking on me asking if I needed a break, water, etc. I was so pleased with the end result that I went back the following year and sleeved the rest of my forearm around the dragon, again with little direction Teddy nailed it. I get so many compliments on my forearm and wouldnt change a thing about it. I cant recommend Teddy Safarian and his work enough. If you are serious about getting a tattoo use a serious artist like Teddy, hes a real one.

This place is awesome!!!Eric makes you feel right at home, great environment and people. Got some of his flash. Will definitely be back!

Awesome shop! Always very clean and never let down every time I go. Weston is an awesome artist and would 10/10 recommend for some killer pieces!

Was finally able to get a tattoo from Eric and it was the most enjoyable tattoo experience I’ve had yet! Professional comfortable and skillful. Can’t wait for the next one

Super stand up guy, and super good work.. usually when I get tattooed by other people they are rough and I end up bleeding. But when I got tattooed by Teddy I didnt bleed at all. Its been a year since I got it and the lines came out clean and perfect.. highly recommend!

Super cool shop, great environment. Weston got me right with my first tattoo, and was real cool and responsive. fresh as hell. 10/10

This is my go to shop! everyone is super nice and chill, the atmosphere is super good, and the art is awesome. i’ve got many great tattoos from here!

What can I say, Teddy was amazing. I live in Jax FL and was visiting Boulder for a wedding and wanted to surprise my 5 yo daughter while I was gone. After some research I found Teddy and was very kind through email exchange and understood what I was looking for; and even scheduled me through my busy wedding plans. Teddy was extremely kind and professional, with the smoothest working hand in tattooing. My tattoo is exactly how I dreamed it and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Teddy, sincerely.

Eric Nguyen is a great tattoo artist! We did one of his flash tattoos and it turned out freaking amazing!

Got an awesome eagle tattoo done by teddy . Great work and even better conversations. He listened to every detail I wanted and executed it perfectly. Will definitely be coming back to get the rest of my tattoos here.

I got my tattoo done by Teddy today and I got to say I would recommend this tattoo shop to anybody its amazing!!!

Just got my second tat here done by Weston and it was magical as hell- All the tattoos are gaurenteed so he touched up my old one for free when I popped in- So hype, highly recommend!!

Chi is the man, great communication, awesome work and detail. Pick him for your next tattoo, you won’t regret it!

Had some work done by Eric and Im beyond stoked with how it turned out. Its my first shop tatt and I am already thinking of what I can get from him next. Thanks a ton!

Teddy is an absolute gem of a human-being and one of the realest people you’ll ever meet, but you’re here to hear about the tattoos: FANTASTIC experience. I came at him with a custom idea. Teddy made sure that every aspect of the tattoo was exactly what I wanted while sketching it out, right down to the coloring in the tiniest areas. He nailed it on the first take - absolutely perfect. We easily chopped it up during the session and he made me feel welcome & at home. Mind you, I flew from Tampa SPECIFICALLY for him & I would do it again in a heartbeat. A wonderful artist, patient with his craft & a passion for what he does. What more could you ask for? You will not be disappointed.

Had a great experience at Strange Magic! Picked a tattoo from Teddy’s sketches and flash, came out clean, bold and bright! Efficient with time, fair with price, excellent work, friendly artists, what more could you ask for?

Ive been tattooed twice by Teddy. Both times on guest visits of his to Atlanta. Each experience was awesome. Teddy not only is an amazing artist and tattooer but he is also one of the nicest and most genuine dudes out there. Extremely excited to see his new shop. Def check him out if your in the market for a solid piece and some good convo to boot.

Teddy is a master of all styles! His passion shines in every piece of art he puts out. I had the pleasure of getting my second tattoo from Teddy in 2019 and he made the process so easy. He modified an already perfect design to add some more meaning to me, and has kickstarted my tattoo collection. Can’t wait to get another piece from him!

Teddy did an amazing job tattooing myself and 3 friends. He let us get an appointment last minute and all of our tattoos turned out wonderful! He’s also super cool to talk to. Definitely would come back again!

Teddy has done two tattoos for me both I gave him a couple things I want incorporated in the tattoo then he put his own style on was blown away! Phenomenal work attention to detail is amazing made me feel so comfortable can’t wait to get another honestly the only tattoo artist I will be getting work done with. 😁

Teddy was awesome to work with and was worth traveling to get worn done by him. I now have two big pieces that were done by him and looking to add a couple more!!!!

This shop is legit. The owner, Teddy is kind, talented, really patient and understanding. I expressed that I don’t sit for tattoos super well (low pain tolerance) and he was super good about making sure I felt comfortable the entire time. The tattoo we created is amazing and I will be coming back for my future tattoos.

Teddy is a professional tattoo wizard. He creates a very welcoming environment no matter where you meet with him. The dude is super chill and has a great sense of humor. The work he’s done is nothing short of amazing. I’m looking forward to the next time I get the chance to line his pockets with my cash in exchange for some totally unique and righteous body art.

Teddy is such a genuine dude, and an amazing artist. He did a wolf piece for me back in 2018, and to this day it is still my favorite tattoo. I told myself whenever I have the chance to make it back out to Colorado, I will definitely be getting more ink from him. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Eric was very professional and did some amazing work for me. Would highly recommend this shop!

Immaculate experience with Teddy at Strange Magic. I needed a cover up and Teddy turned it into a masterpiece. Super thankful for finding this place.

Teddy is one of the dopest dudes I know! I’ve had 2 pieces done by him and couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out! The guy genuinely enjoys his doing art/tattoos and you can see it in his work. I’ll be getting many more pieces from Teddy over the next few years and finishing out my leg sleeve.

Teddy has done 4 tattoos on me and every time I am blown away at the quality of his work! Not only is Teddy very professional but he is a great guy. If you are looking for some quality work that will hold up over the years Teddy is the guy!

Ted is extremely professional and talented. My appointment was on time, the atmosphere was clean and very hygienic, and Ted was fun to chat with while he tattooed. Healing process was super quick and easy. I love my piece too. One of the most experienced tattoo artists in all of Colorado.

Swirly Dragon Number 200 here! Being able to share ink with a group of people who appreciates an artist that has inspired me in a handful of ways is only part of how cool it was to meet Teddy & get a tattoo. Coolest person ever, easy to talk to. This man is a legend, if you know, you know. Caught my attention with his art 5 years ago, now Ill support for life. Get you some work, create some memories. If Teddy is involved, it is quality. Strange Magic!!

Teddy is a class act. He’ll make all your wildest tattoo dreams come true. His attention to detail is so far beyond that of any other artists I’ve worked with in the past. I flew from Minnesota to Las Vegas to work with him and now will not hesitate to fly to Colorado to do the same. If you’re looking for good vibes, good conversation, and the cleanest lines on your skin, this is the spot!

Teddys work is top notch! Hit up Strange Magic for some excellent artistry and a good time vibing with a truly humble dude. Hes an experienced vet in the game and it shows in his art. Cant wait to make it back to the shop and get some more work done.

I’ve been tattooed by Teddy before in Atlanta and he does a great job! The tattoo is awesome and had a good convo the whole time, dudes 100% a great artist and his new shop Strange magic looks awesome and you’ll definitely get a great tattoo with great experience here

First time being tattooed by Teddy went VERY well. The communication throughout the process was phenomenal as well as his down to earth disposition made me very comfortable. The cleanliness of his shop should be used as an example to all. Cannot wait to finish the rest of the project and start even more!

(Dragon done by Teddy, Kanji done by another artist)Teddy is an amazing artist. Dude is full of wisdom and good conversation. My roughly 5 hour session went by fast as I was comfortable and engaged. I learned that day why they call it “ink therapy”. 10/10 would work with Teddy again & my highest recommendation. GO GET TATTOOED TODAY!

Been a fan of the work done for many years and had the opportunity to get my first tattoo done by teddy. From the first time messaging him about what I wanted he was very helpful and supportive of my ideas. Even during the tattoo process he would ask for my well being and was a great host as well.

Teddy was reccomend to me by the homie Jacob Starr. His work is incredible and worth every dollar. I personally love Teds Japanese Dragon work. There is something about his style and technique that stand out from others in the field. Thank you Ted I am looking forward to seeing more of your art.

Very inviting place! got my tattoo from Eric and he did a great job!

Teddy is an amazing artist. One of the best experiences getting tattood Ive had. His style of tattooing is incredibly unique and you cant find another artist that does what he does.

Eric absolutely killed the tattoo he gave me, 10/10 would recommend.

Can’t say enough about Teddy! Always made getting tattooed super easy and incredibly comfortable! If I was closer to Colorado I would definitely be making frequent trips to get more ink! 10/10 !

Amazing Tattoo parlor! Eric does great work I highly recommend him! Very professional and informative on aftercare. I am very happy with my Tattoo.

My first tattoo ever was done by Teddy. That tattoo quickly turned in to a sleeve lol. You wont be disappointed with his work.

To start off teddy Safarian as a person is un like most, he will go to great lengths to make you comfortable in his space and make it feel like your own. Over the last six years I’ve traveled with Ted place to place guest spot to guest spot getting my art done. He’s made me feel like family through the years mentoring me molding me into a better person. This new spot it’s going to be epic to say the least, I’ve seen the progress behind the scenes and I can’t wait to make my way out.

My first time getting Tattooed and Teddy was great at keeping things light and fun. Session took about an hour and the results came out wonderfully. Exactly what i wanted. Will definitely come back for another piece.

I’ve had 3 tattoos done by teddy and couldn’t be happier. Everytime I walk in it’s always a good experience; nice guy who makes solid tattoos.

One of the most polite and talented artists Iv gotten tattooed by!

I’ve been inked by teddy on 4 different occasions. His art skill are out of this world. My dragon piece from him was hand drawn on me in the moment and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. I plan on getting many more from him. Be sure to join the swirly dragon gang when you see him!

I got a tattoo from Ted and he was nothing but professional. Using the best products and being super clean, I felt really comfortable and his work is great. I can’t wait to visit Strange Magic to get tatted once again.

Teddy Safarian is not only the most down to earth guy I have met, but someone I look up to! From all the tattoos Im seen on friends/ relatives, mine still looks as crispy as it did on the first day! There should be no doubt to go see Ted at Strange Magic Tattoo and be one of the masses to say you got your fresh ink by the man #swirlygang134

Teddy tattooed me about five years ago he did a great job I came in with rough ideas and he used his creativity to give me great tattoos that still look great today. Very professional and friendly

Drove up 6 hours from where I live to get work done by teddy. Well worth it, beyond satisfied with the samurai predator done. Gave him my idea and let him run with it and I’m glad I did because it came out awesome! Will be coming back to get my arm finished by him!

Teddy is a top notch guy who I was proud to have had done my first tattoo. Could not recommend his artistry and personality enough!

Teddy drew a custom one of a kind koi for the start of my Japanese theme sleeve. He did an excellent job and healed it still looks amazing. Highly recommend!!!

Teddy is fantastic! My sister and I traveled from Georgia to Colorado just to get work done by him. Super laidback yet professional. Looking forward to getting more work done by him in the future!

Teddy and the crew are absolute professionals. The art and vibes are great. Teddy really makes everyone who walks in feel like family. Can’t wait to go back!!

Teddy is an amazing guy and his art is just as amazing. You won’t be disappointed, he listens to his customers and genuinely enjoys what he does! Go here and you won’t be disappointed!

Been following his work for years now and man being able to get a tattoo by teddy was just sick. He was very professional and passionate about his work. Took his time and was able to give me the exact thing i wanted. 10/10

Have twice been tattooed by Teddy and he has impressed both times. Always great conversation and makes you feel right at home. Would recommend 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, Teddy gave me my favorite tattoo to date! I will be driving to his shop from now on to get my others! ❤️‍🔥 I encourage others to do the same.

I told Teddy I wanted 3 roses w metal petals he took my idea and created a masterpiece - he is my 1st option when It comes to tattoos - excellent work and customer service would recommend 10/10

My lady and I have both been tattooed by Teddy and his work is phenomenal!!! Hands down the best tattoo artist in Boulder!

I got tattooed by Teddy Back in June of 2021. id been debating getting a tattoo for years. i was sitting at work and i had seen that teddy tweeted out he had someone drop there appointment. i asked to get the slot and he let me slide in last minute. i got a quick swirly dragon, his signature piece, and Ive never been happier. he freehanded the whole thing as a couple people from the shop watched in awe, it was a dope experience. hes truly a talented artist, the quality of his work shows how passionate he is about his art. i am so hyped every day i see it knowing teddy gave me this sick piece of art to walk around with and show off. ill definitely be making the trip out to the new shop for another when i make up my mind.

Teddy is extremely talented and is fair with pricing as well. I look forward to getting another tattoo done by him in the near future!

Teddy does excellent work. I had a (very) rough idea for a half sleeve and he fleshed it out into a masterpiece. Strange Magic. Swirly Gang. Forever.

Couldnt have asked for a better tattoo cherry popper! Great vibes, clean, safe space. I felt at ease and before I knew it, it was done! Thanks Teddy!

Had the pleasure of getting an amazing chest piece by Mr.Safarian.Which I am absolutely in love with, I could not have asked for a more beautiful tattoo. Great communication, Amazing work. Just overall an amazing experience

This was the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had Mr. Safarian made sure everything was perfect from start to finish and he made sure I also was comfortable every step of the process I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Teddy did an amazing job on all of my tattoos I’ve gotten from him. Will be coming back fo sho

Teddy is the man, have been a fan for years was a great experience getting my first tattoo from him.

When I travel places I like to get tattoos instead of keychains and he did an amazing job on my moth. 20/10 recommend stopping in and getting some dope work done.

Teddy did a large piece on my back for me. He was a pleasure to work with. Do not pass up the chance to work with him!

If you ain’t getting at least one piece done by Teddy then you ain’t tattooed enough. Hard work pays off and Strange magic tattoo is the Definition of that. 📈

Amazing artist with an amazing personality! Traveled 6 hours one way to get tattooed by teddy and it was 100% worth it!

The most professional, and outgoing tattoo artist I have ever had the pleasure of getting work from!

Teddy’s work is fantastic!

Great experienceGet lots of complimentsGentle hand

He is a amazing man with amazing wisdom and talent.
