My daughter and I were visiting Colorado springs and I wanted to get a tattoo while we were there. Neither tattoo was super intricate and they were able to fit us in that day which was very generous of them. Very cool vibe. The location of it is also really cool as theres a lot of shopping and restaurants. I would definitely recommend.
I think the shops atmosphere is a great tattoo atmosphere. The big windows in the shop face towards Colorado Ave, so while waiting to get a tattoo, you can watch everything going on in Old Colorado City. Everyone I have talked to you here at the shop is very friendly and you get good vibes all around. I I worked with Noah, and he is great! Super friendly and patient. I got tattooed with my brother while he was visiting and at the time my brother was a little indecisive about what he wanted, so Noah made sure to give my brother plenty of time to think about his decision. My wife also got a tattoo with Noah and is planning to finish her sleeve with him!Definitely recommend checking this place out !!
Doug Fisher has done several pieces on me over the years, and has been my go-to artist for custom tattoo work. His level of professionalism is unmatched, as well as his ability to make his clients feel comfortable. Doug knows his craft, and I would highly recommend him for bold, traditional tattoos that will hold up over the years.
Had an awesome experience getting a cover up tattoo from Troy. He was super friendly and professional. The consultation proces was so easy and made me feel really comfortable with what I was getting.I will definitely be back in the future!
This place was awesome as a walkin. Abigail was veryyyy awesome. Amazing artwork and personality. Best tattoo I have so far and also such great creativity from her! Couldn’t have asked for a better last minute walk in tattooing! She turned a minimalistic line tattoo idea into a traditional work of art.
Got the last half of my sleeve done and Doug did an amazing job. He asked questions, was very professional, and is a master at his craft. I will definitely be coming back for any new pieces or touch up work.
Doug was really great to work with and designed a piece I love, I felt I could trust him and that he cared about getting it right. I would not hesitate to recommend him, super nice guy and a fun shop.
I have had the most incredible experience!! Troy is exceptional and a blast to sit with. Everyone in the shop is so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is comfy and white glove clean! Im so grateful to have found you. This tattoo has been so healing for me. I love it so much!!
This is the best tattoo shop ive been to. The shop itself is clean and inviting and the artists are welcoming, and professional. They are willing to work with you to help turn your tattoo idea into a piece of living art.
Andre has been great, and every other artist in the shop is very friendly. Everything Andre has done for me has been killer and the experience in shop has been great.
Andre kills it! Gorgeous clean and solid lines and he’s super friendly. His original work is fantastic and he also does a great job on commissions as well. Go get some ink!
My bridesmaids and I made a spontaneous decision to get tattoos while visiting...these guys are great. Not bad on the eyes either...LOL! The atmosphere is fun. Will 100% be coming back in an further trips. Andre did a great job on one of my favorite cats (crazy cat lady here, no shame). I hope I can make it back soon!
Best tattoo shop in town, hands down. Every artist in there is extremely talented. They always treat me like family and make me feel welcomed. Troy has been tattooing me for about 8 years now and continues to exceed my expectations. I’ll never go anywhere else!
Andre was excellent! Will definitely be back for more!
Colorado Springs seem to have a ratio of 1:1 for coffee shops and tattoo parlors.This makes it possible to get a walk in. I called El Dorado in the morning and by noon we were sitting there getting inked.I feel bad that I have already forgotten the names of our artists but they were both very friendly and professional! Ive only ever got one other tattoo in my early 20s, but given the pricing, the professionalism, and the work we got done I would 💯% come back here.Obviously if you want something super ornate and huge you should probably book a consultation, but if youre just passing by the city and you feel the urge to get a quirky pokemon tattoo, do it here! 😁
Troy is not only an amazing artist, hes one of the best guys Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting. Im confident that anyone who works in his shop will provide clean, innovative, quality tattoo work. And this review has nothing to do with the fact that were swim trunk eskimo brothers. Thats simply a bonus.
Chill vibes. Ready to help walk inside or sit with me while we talk about larger pieces.
My sister and I came in for a walk in. We wanted to do a sister tattoo because I am moving out of state for the first time. It as well was her first tattoo. Josh took us in, did an amazing job on both! Really brought the meaning and memories behind it! Thank you so much Josh!
Wonderful shop, friendly and very talented staff! Great location to grab food or go shopping after a tattoo! Dont hesitate to visit!!
Came to The Springs for a weekend trip with friends & stopped for a walk-in. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Andre to do an amethyst piece on my wrist. He was so personable, paid attention to detail, took his time (which I loved) & he was stoked to do it on me.The parlour was great, everyone was super friendly, place was clean, I would definitely come back for another tattoo at this shop whenever I come back.
I really love this place! Makayla was awesome! I’ve gotten tattooed by her twice now. She has great art, is fast with the whole process and also fun to talk to! I will definitely be referring all of my friends and I already planned my next visit!
Makayla has done my last three tattoos, and I have loved ALL of them. Not only is her art work amazing, she’s a great human to spend time with getting a tattoo. Really really looking forward to more art by her!
I have had the priviledge of working with Troy Sedlacek on 6 of my tattoos. Working with him is always a great experience. All of my pieces have been custom drawn by him for me. He listens to what I want and translates my vision with his artistic twist. The shop is always spotless, and he sets up in front of me so I know everything is only used once. He is calm and courteous while tattooing, making sure to talk to me and take breaks as needed. He covers after care with me every time and encourages me to call with any questions. I wouldnt hesitate to send him anyone that I know (or dont know lol). Although I havent had a chance to work with any of the other artists in the shop a chance I have seen their work. All of them are amazing. Give the shop a chance, you wont regret it!
The staff here are very friendly in both conversation as well as in giving their consultations for work! Fair priced, and welcoming environment! Makayla has done the majority of my work and I’ve found my home shop through her. Amazing work!
If you’re looking for some of the most solid traditional work in the springs for an incredible price Lauren is your gal!! she’s tattooed friends of mine and i’ve always loved her work! highly highly recommended. (@nurse.vaughan on instagram!)
I have work by both Makayla and Lauren and honestly have a hard time going to anyone else. Their passion for tattoos is unmatched and I’m glad to have their artwork on my body. Highly recommend!!!
Dez is my go to guy for tattoos. He is a true professional and really cares about the quality of his work. He believes in cleanliness and customer service. I have multiple tattoos from him and will continue to recommend Dez and El Dorado Tattoo.
Troy did my first tattoo and Ive been hooked since! His shop is clean and his staff is always kind and professional. Im excited to see this new location grow within the neighborhood!
Great experience with makayla! She works so fast and I really did get my money’s worth. Everyone in the shop is so nice (they even bought me Taco Bell). I will definitely be a return customer, can’t wait to go back for more!
I followed Lauren aka Nurse Vaughan over from a different shop and it was SO worth it. This shop has plenty of space and is a great location right on Colorado Avenue in Old Colorado City. There is a lot just south of the building for parking and its free. Plenty of light and in a great neighborhood.Lauren does traditional with her own artistic interpretation. I love her art and her tattooing has reflected her eye for fluid lines and beautiful coloration. She tries to stick to traditional tattooing practices so your piece will look as good as it did new, whether its been 1 month or 25 years. Its taken some understanding on my part, but I know Im in well educated, capable hands.El Dorado has several artists that specialize in all sorts of different styles. Like I said I like Laurens and her Traditional/ Neo-Traditional style, but if you live for dot mandalas or really anything else, there is likely an artist in the shop who has experience doing what you want or can educated you to develope the concept you want.
Best tattoo shop in Colorado! Everyone is super talented and personable. Troy is the best, and has done the majority of my tattoos for years. The shop is clean, and comfortable.
Literally LOVE Makayla her work speaks for itself, her personality is undoubtedly the most unique and rad, and she is so flexible. I couldnt recommend her enough, if you want a sick tattoo, a great conversation, and a killer artist go to El Dorado Tattoo!!!
Dez is an incredible artist and takes a lot of pride in his work. I’m constantly getting compliments on my tattoos. Now my son has started going to him for work. I wouldn’t let my child get tattooed by Dez if I didn’t have complete faith in his skill and professionalism. I cannot recommend Dez and El Dorado enough.
Makayla is an amazing artist! She always gives high quality work. The shop is nice. If youre wanting a truly good tattoo, I highly recommend Makayla!
Always a pleasure, great art, amazing artists, 🔥🔥🔥💯
Makayla is a long time friend and incredible artist. Her shading, dot work and line work is outstanding. I cant wait to get so many more tattoos done by her.
These guys made me & my friends feel so comfortable & they were so very sweet. such cuties. also did a great job on our tats!! xoxo. -kailey
Great guys! We had a great experience and will definitely go back. Thank you Andre for a great tattoo for my sons 18th birthday, its amazing!
Amazing place. I have 2 beautiful tattoos done by doug and another amazing one by dez. I get compliments on them all the time. They both do amazing work and have wonderful personalities
Dez did an awesome job! He was professional and friendly, and the quality of my tat is great! Will definitely be seeing him again!
Amazing parlour great artists great atmosphere.
My new favorite place! Had Doug do a couple for me at his old location and just had Dez touch up an old tattoo one for me. Great place and Ill definitely be back!
Fast on the outline. Then kept repeatedly canceling and postponing my coloring. Would take days to reschedule. I really liked the work but the schedule keeping is a mess. I gave one pass because of covid but was canceled one three other times.
Doug has done all of me and my husbands tattoos. We wont let anyone else do it! Doug it an amazing artist and this is the place to go!
Lauren was great..she created original, meaningful art for both my daughter and myself. Super excited to have such an amazing piece...and great memories!
Walked in with a few friends and only one artist (Doug) in the shop. He made each of our pieces look amazing. Very professional.
Awesome shop, took me and my wife as a walk in and did small tats that no other shop in the area would bother with. Great work, chill environment, amazing staff. 🤘🤙
Amazing stuff, so incredibly friendly. Nothing short of amazing work leaves there. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly laid back environment full of incredibly talented artists!
Super professional shop with a bunch of cool artists. Troy is the man! I wouldnt hesitate to get tattooed here again.
Noah Brewer is an amazing tattoo artist!
Amazing customer service. Incredible work. Friendly staff. If my mom wanted a tattoo, I would bring her here. 10/10
P.J. Dez is such an amazing artist. He was patient with our requests, and as always our tattoos turned out perfectly!
I have 4 pieces by Doug and plan to get many more! Troy does stellar work and I hope one day to get a piece by him as well!
Amazing artists and clean shop. Doug Fisher specializes in old school Americana style tattooing and design.
Clean, professional, excellent work, open comfortable environment. An excellent experience which lasts a lifetime. Thank you El Dorado!
Artists were all super talented and friendly. Very happy with the pieces my neice and I got today,
Great parlor, great energy, great tattoos. Andre hooked me up, definitely going back!
