Mile High Ink

Ben is an amazing artist that took my idea and ran with it. I couldn’t be happier and I’ve never gotten so many compliments on his work. I wouldn’t get a tattoo anywhere else in the country. I’d fly in from anywhere when I get more. Highly recommend. This review needs way more than 5 stars!!!

Ben and his staff were amazing! The experience was beyond! My husband and I came in from Lancaster SC and we wanted a wolf pack with mountains tattoo for my husband and mountains and a Buffalo for myself. We sent some preliminary ideas , and what Ben came up with , exceeded anything we could have imagined. Ben is not only super talented , he is down to earth, has amazing taste in music and so smart on every level! This made our trip and will be back for more l! We highly recommend Ben Elliot and Mike High Ink!

Jason is an amazing artist and honestly everyone in the shop is awesome. Very laid back feel, no pressure to get work done. Jason had the difficult task of adding to the void in my half sleeve. I sent a message and came in for a consultation. Jason had time that day to finish the front of my piece. He made 3 tattoos look like one piece of art. Highly recommended!

Great experience with a very welcoming staff and a very cool new tattoo. Caleb was awesome. Next time Im in town I just might go get another. Highly recommend!

Ben Elliot is a brilliant artist who did a beautiful custom designed masterpiece for me. His tattoo shop is exquisitely decorated and provides an excellent vibe during the experience. I highly recommend him as one of the number one tattoo artist in Denver. I will definitely be going back for more artwork very soon.

Ben and his staff are Amazing. I love this place, My first of many at this location I plan on getting. I have already referred two people who love my tattoo to them. How Ben has cared about what this meant to me I cant explain!. Thank you !!!!

My best friend and I got close to matching tattoos, it was my best friends first time and he eased her worries with a stress ball and jokes. Very talented! Loved the great music while you get tattooed. Would recommend him for sure!

Eilisha is so gentle. She did an amazing job on my daith piercing. She is very sweet! Ben once again did an incredible butterfly tattoo for my moms memories. Hes the best I have ever been to!! Seriously

I received a Tattoo and 5 Piercings from the shop. The tattoo artist, Ben did amazing work and brought my dream tattoo to life. The piercer, Tanya did 5 different piercings on my ear, including a Helix which is a very difficult one, and she NAILED it. My ears are so cute now and look the exact way I wanted. I definitely recommend going here for all your tattoo and piercing needs.

The woman that helped me was very friendly and helpful. Piercing was short and quick also pretty much painless and she even told me a story of how she got her belly piercing😂. Definitely recommend and definitely going back

Found this place with a simple a Google search and honestly this shop is awesome. Its so welcoming and inviting. The guy who did my piercing was super kind and made the experience really comfortable. I didnt get a tattoo but loved Sailors energy and def will have to get in touch for a tattoo.

Really disappointed with the lack of professionalism. I walked in and talked to someone (I won’t name who publicly) about my first tattoo that I wanted to get for my brother who had recently passed. At first the artist was very enthusiastic about the design, texts were exchanged and I believed it was going in the right direction. however I reached out on multiple occasions and while the artist said he had made progress on his concept and said he would reach out soon, I have received no other communication since ( this was October 2022). Disappointed to have to start the process over as they were recommended and close to my work, Guess I will have to get my tattoos somewhere else.

I want to commend the entire shop and Ben for a great experience being my first time getting a tattoo. I appreciate them working around my schedule and the work that Ben did. Super helpful and willing to sacrifice his personal time on his day off. I love my tattoo and would recommend him and Mile High Ink to everybody.

I had a great experience at Mile High Ink. My tattoo came out better than I imagined! I was a little nervous having my second tattoo be in a spot that I look at ALL the time but I absolutely love it. Jason did an amazing job! He was quick for how much detail was put into the design. Thanks for being a perfectionist! I would highly recommend him 😊

I made an appointment with Jason to get my first rib tattoo and he was very attentive to the details in the design I chose and drew it up beautifully! He did a wonderful job and made sure I felt comfortable on the table. I was surprised at how little it hurt! I absolutely love how the tattoo turned out.A few months later, I was tattooed by Caitlin who was very welcoming and sweet. She worked with me on choosing a font and size of the script I wanted. During the tattoo I got sweaty and lightheaded and she noticed and made sure to give me a break. She even got me a snack and some water! The tattoo turned out exactly how I envisioned and it’s by far my favorite tattoo I have.I would recommend Mile High Ink to anyone that wants an experience filled with good company, amazing artistry, professionalism, and cleanliness.

Recently got a tattoo at Mile High Ink by Ben. Ben was amazing at making sure I was as comfortable as possible. He is an amazing artist and well surpassed my expectations. Great communication about my ideas and what was possible and gave me various options on my tattoo. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for ink.

Jason is amazing. I’ve gotten 3 tattoos by him on 2 visits and they’ve all come out wonderfully. The healing is easy and no touch ups needed! Jason is great to converse with while getting tattooed and he’s actually taught me a lot of cool things unrelated haha. Will definitely be back on another trip to CO.

I got two tattoos here about 4 months ago. It was an amazing experience. I was nervous going in even though it wasn’t my first time getting a tattoo and I was quickly put at ease. Ben did a phenomenal job on both of my tattoos and he will definitely be my first call when I am ready for another. Not only that but the shop was very clean, the after care instructions were very clear and easy to follow and the pricing was very reasonable. I would recommend this shop and Ben to anyone. Thank you!

Everything, from the very first consult, to the actual tattoo was amazing. Jason listened to what we wanted and put his own unique spin on it. The time he took on each of our tattoos made us feel like he wanted to do the very best he could for us. It was my nieces first tattoo, and he made her feel comfortable and relaxed, and for me, with it being one if several tattoos, it was everything I look for in a good place to go. I would highly recommend Jason at Mile High Ink, and will be going back for all future tattoos!

Called Mile High Ink to get a second opinion on my nose piercing (got it pierced at a different place) They confirmed it was a nickel allergy and got me in that evening. I was so unhappy with my piercing before seeing these guys, and the chick that changed it from steel to titanium was super sweet. The place is immaculate and Benjamin is a pro and super informative. My nose feels and looks 100x better and I am finally enjoying my piercing. I would recommend them to anybody and want to use them in the future for sure.

Im really disappointed today.I was hoping to get my second tattoo at this shop today, while visiting from out of town. I got an incredible tattoo done here previously and had a great experience. Healed the best of any tattoo Ive ever had. Photorealistic. Ive included a photo below of it I just took.I had an appointment with Ben at 1pm today. I texted yesterday to confirm and even called the shop just to try and make fully sure my appointment was booked. But he never showed up.I texted him and the other people working at the shop said they tried to reach out to him but didnt hear anything. I sat and waited an hour for a tattoo.Not sure what he had come up, but I still havent heard back from the artist. I know if I no called no showed for my tattoo appointment, I would be expected to pay some sort of fee. I understand that people have things happen but its just not very professional.I was really looking forward to this and had even planned part of my trip here from MO around it.Guess Ill have to find a new shop.

Amazing tattoo shop, Jason has done absolutely amazing work with all the tattoos hes has done for me. I got my first tattoo from Jason and he made me feel so comfortable and gave me new knowledge on the placement and everything. Tattoo came out way better than I imagined.Since then I have felt comfortable saying my idea and just let him take the wheel with i . I couldnt be more satisfied. My shoulder came out during a tattoo and they were all nice enough to let me calm down and get my body back on track, they even got me Jimmy Johns while I winded down. Best customer service I have ever had.

Was driving by and spotted this tattoo shop so scheduled a time as I was wanting a new tattoo as a treat to myself for Christmas. Very impressed with the staff, the owner, and quality of work. My new Wizard of Oz tattoo is perfect. Detailed and clear. I am proud to show it off. Thank you, Ben and staff for making my experience wonderful and fun. I have several tattoos and this was my best experience ever in a tattoo shop!

Ben Elliott is the most artistic artist Ive met. Hes done work on me and my family for years and I will never go anywhere else. Other then his amazing talent the shop is always clean and sanitary all the other artists are awesome to talk to! Love the new location of the shop as well!!!!

My sister and I went in for a walk-in tattoo yesterday and had such a great experience (especially since it was my first time). Jason was so nice and funny. He made it so enjoyable, gave us great input, and ultimately gave us the tattoo we were looking for. I can’t remember her name but their piercer also put in a new hoop for my sister after her previous nose ring fell out and her hole shrunk. She was quick and so nice. Thank you Mile High Ink!!! Highly recommended!

Ben Elliott, did an amazing job on my first tattoo. I literally in love, and wanting more! I love his work, Im so glad I didnt chicken out. Im glad he was the one to do it too, he was an amazing guy. He talked to me and kept me calm. It really was a great experience.

Got my tattoo here last summer. I had a great experience and love the artwork we came up with as a team. It needed a little touch up and I contacted the studio last week finding out the artist that did my work was no longer there. The owner Ben got back with me and stood by the work. He even came in on his day off to do the touch up work himself. It looks perfect now. Thanks guys, you have a lifelong customer.

Every person at Mile High Ink is super nice and friendly! This is very appreciated. Jason is a wonderful artist and tattooist. This was my 2nd tattoo from him. I did a tap out session with him and I am in love with my tattoo. I will be back soon! Thanks Jason!

My experience here was amazing. Jason made me feel very comfortable and he is an awesome artist. He pays close attention to detail, has passion for his work and is Very patient. I could not have asked for a better experience. I will be getting much more ink done with him!!!

I stopped in here two weeks ago for a couple of piercings, and they look and feel so great! Jay did an amazing job, made the entire experience wonderful and I felt so comfortable the whole time.So happy with the way they turned out! Definitely will be back.

Really liking this place!! I got a small tattoo with my firmed who was a tattoo virgin and they made it super calm and relaxing for her. A very happy experience overall. I recently got my naval pierced here and it was a very quick, clean, and fun experience. They talked with me about more than just the piercing. This place is so inviting. I would recommend to everyone honesty. And I will be coming back for another tattoo!!!

I love Mile High! I’ve got a couple tattoos done with Jason and he’s so detail oriented and spends as much time as needed on making sure he helps design the perfect tattoo for you. He’s very patient, funny, and I enjoy myself every time I’m in for a tattoo!Mile High is very clean and everyone there is great... Plus, it always smells amazing inside!

Awesome, clean, professional tattoo shop with a great group of down to earth people. Caleb did my tattoo and cant say enough positive things about my experience. He takes his work very seriously and its obvious it means just as much to him as it does you. I couldnt be happier with the finished product, hes crazy talented. Ill definitely be back for all of my future work.

Brought my daughter in to get her Septum pierced for her birthday, the atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff are wonderful. The entire place is spotlessly clean. We will definitely be coming back, probably for our mothermother-daughter tattoos.

This place is amazing. I took my 6 month old daughter here to get her ears pierced. They did not have 24 carrot gold earings the day I went in but Ben offered to go get some and I could come back the next day and we could get it done. Ben was just the best, he was so patient with her and did a great job. The shop is clean and has such a friendly environment. I will be going back to get a cartilage piercing of my own, once my baby is older. Great place!! Thank you so very much Ben for taking such good care of my baby girl!!

Called in the am to see if they had availability for today, they were able to schedule me for the afternoon. And I am simply blown away by these guys for their quality, professionalism, customer repor, and great talent they have here. I was scheduled with Jason, and he genuinely cared and took his time to listen to what I wanted. I came to them with an idea and Jason rendered his own unique version of it and completely blew it out of the water. Big thanks Jason, will %100 be back next time I want good quality ink.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Highly recommended!

I went in and asked for a butterfly outline on my forearm and Jason was AMAZING! Cleanest lines ever + the guy is super funny. I was nervous about the pain, but he had an extremely light touch. Would recommend 10/10 to get your next tattoo from Mile High Ink!

The piercer (Tanya) conducted bad piercings on me and blew it off as swelling when I commented on how far back they were. After getting home (several hours away) I inspected again and called to speak with a manager. The phone was handed to Ben, who instructed me to take pictures and promised to call me “Right back”. After calling a second time, and being blown off right before closing, the piercings were inspected at a local shop that verified they were done improperly for a woman and to remove the piercings before they caused permanent damage. The piercer also nicked my breast with the needle on the first, and the clamp slipped on the second. I still have not received a response from management.

My 9 ear old daughter got her ears pierced here. Loved every second of the experience. Super professional. Very kind. And was joking with her the entire time to put her mind at ease. Definitely must go for a clean ear piercing experience

Jason created a great design for me. He did an awesome job!! I was impressed with his creativity and color choices. He took my basic idea and made it into something that I will love for years to come. Great atmosphere! Highly recommend this place.

Ben is amazing! Me and my wife went in and both got work done.... He is a true artist... He knew what I needed better than I did!!! Not only is his work great but he is extremely nice and personable! We had an awesome time!

I had been wanting a belly button piercing for quite some time. On my way home from work I stopped to talk to someone. Jason stepped out to chat with me and said, “I can do this now”. 15 minutes later I walked out sporting a black opal belly ring. I love it! Jason was so skilled that I didn’t feel anything. A paper cut hurts more. I’m now considering my first tattoo! I highly recommend Mile High Ink. Clean, very professional, and an awesome staff!

Caitlin is an unbelievable tattoo artist! She matched the picture I brought in 100%. She was very friendly, played great music and always made sure I was doing ok. Plus she got me an appointment right away. Extremely pleased!

Ben and staff were all incredibly friendly. My daughters and I all got pierced. We love our piercings! Great selection of jewelry! The studio is spotless! Highly recommend! We will be back!

Jason did and AMAZING job on my tattoo. He did me and 3 of my friends, and I couldnt be happier with how it turned out! He was very relaxed, and professional. But also fun! Ill definitely be back for any future tattoo or piercing

I had an impeccable experience at Mile High Ink. All of the staff is incredibly friendly but Jason, who did my tattoo, was a perfectionist and could not have done a better job. He is incredibly talented. I wish I could give them 6 stars! Ive been to only one other tattoo place in Denver, and I will only ever go back to Mile High Ink.

A shop completely staffed with extremely talented artists, each of whom bringing their own unique set of skills & talents to the chair. Go in and talk with any one of them about your visions for your next beautiful piece and theyll help turn your dreams into reality. For me, Caleb is the man with a plan & I will absolutely continue trusting him with my right arm. Were only one session in with several to come and Im already catching myself and others staring at his work.

After scouting tattoo shops for months I came across Mile High Ink.... well I won’t be searching anymore as this is the only shop I will get work done at. Great group of artists, laid back and nice clean environment. Whether you have a design or picture or just an idea, they will draw it up and make sure it’s exactly what you want. I’ve had a few great pieces done here, each one was great experience, and a lot of skin left so I’ll be back!

Ive always had a hard time getting an appointment. I feel Ive been patient but how do people get an appointment? Ive called 3 times, sent 2 emails on their business website and sent a message to the owner. If Im not welcome, Id like to be told that rather than ignored for weeks. Ive had work done there before, so has my spouse, and even sent family here.

My twin sister and I called around to see which shop we should attend to get our piercings done, Jay was the only one to answer with enthusiasm ,kindness and was very informative. When he performed my nose piercing and my sisters Medusa piercing it was fast, clean and almost painless. His work is amazing and I recommend everybody to come and see him for your piercing needs. Definitely will be coming back :-)

George is amazing. Everything about my visit was great, from his precision to his killer attitude! He made the environment super laid back (playing Misfits!!!) as he cleaned equipment, and talked to me and my friend as if we had known each other before. The shop is clean, and the vibe is great here. Would absolutely come back.

Stopped in one night with my girlfriend. We both wanted some tattoos and were set up with Ben. The man is an incredible artist and is very talented. Walked in wanting a tattoo and walked out with an awesome piece of art. He was very accommodating as well. I got mine on my ribs and it hurt like nothing Ive ever felt before but he dealt with needing breaks and was super nice. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I go to Mile High Ink for ALL my tattoos ever since I first walked in a few years ago. Genuine and friendly people, super clean shop, legit talented artists. Jason always works with me to get the best possible tattoo. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend this shop.

All the artists there are amazing, and listen to you and your idea. If you have a generic idea, they well blow your mind with what they see or interput. All of them are friendly and personable. My newest one Ben (owner) totally blew my mind with it. I am about a month, month and half out, and I still find a small detail, or something else.Cant go wrong here, and walk out beyond a happy camper.

Ben does INCREDIBLE work. Hes eye, honesty and phenomenal artistic ability blend together harmoniously and he was able to create my vision in several righteous tattoos. I love his meticulous work. The complements on my ink are overwhelming.

What an amazing Tattoo Shop! Ben is the best artist they have, but he has a loyal following so hes hardest to see. I have watched the other artists and they are still way above any others I have seen. The hubby has lots of tattoos and even though we now live in greeley, we will keep driving to see Ben! Clean, Fairly Priced, and Talented as can be!

Amazing place. I will never go to another artist ever again. George is great, he made my experience very personal and cared very much about his work. He didnt want to just draw something up and throw it on me. I told him what I wanted and he drew up several options and planned it out. Thats a very hard quality to find in an artist. A lot of artists just want your money, they make you feel intimated and lame. But George always gets super pumped and dedicated to every idea I have. Hes done about 6 tattoos for my family alone the last two months. I love my ink.

My husband and I were visiting Colorado and knew we wanted more tattoos while in town. We went to Mike High Ink because of their outstanding reviews. We shared our ideas with Caleb, and he created something much more awesome for both of us. (I remember looking at tons of examples of feathers online, and couldn’t quite find one I liked...until he freehanded a feather within 30 seconds and I was like, “Yes! that’s *exactly* what I had in mind!” He’s awesome!) We were extremely pleased with not only our new ink, but the atmosphere of this place is so inviting, the guys are all so welcoming and laid back. They take pride in their work, the cleanliness of the shop and their relationship with their clients. We were back in town last week and stopped in to say hi. I needed a minor touch up and Caleb got me right in and out. Hands downs the best place to go...from the Carolinas to the Mile High City...is this place! Thanks guys!! Looking forward to working with Caleb on my arm piece when we head back to CO next year!

Best place to go and get a tattoo and its the clean environment and very friendly place. They can do anything you want . Ben the owner is a great artist and Jason great to . They both can draw up the best art you can ask for. I have gone to other tattoos places and this is by far the most relax place with the cleanest artist awith an easy hand to get the line work done with little pain.

I visited Mile High Ink to have my current tattoo touched up. Ben was my tattoo artist. The result was truly impressive. My 12 year old tattoo looks super fresh now and I dont have to keep explaining to people what it is! The only reason Im not giving a 5 star review; and I could very well be uneducated about the process, is because I felt the follow up after the appointment was lacking. I havent had a tattoo done in a very long time and maybe my expectations are too high for that kind of thing. I dont know, but that was my experience. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends though. The product was well worth it.

My wife tried multiple times to get herself and me setup for a tattoo. Matt repeatedly told her that he would call back and never did. Very disappointing considering that my brother and my niece spoke very highly of them. After 6 weeks of trying to get something going we gave up and are going somewhere else. Very unprofessional company. Would not recommend going here.

I got a double forward helix piercing here and it was the best experience Ive ever had with a piercing. Ben took the time to educate me about the procedure, healing time and aftercare. He sent me home with an extra and some Epsom salts and made sure I knew what to do despite me already having many other piercings. When we were done, he brought me candy and water. Very patient, very clean, and very gentle. He even answered questions I had about the how to of various other piercings. I just moved to the area so all of that is a huge plus in my book. I will definitely be doing all my body piercings and probably tattoos here in the future.

I had my ears pierced and a few days later a tattoo. Simple but personal. they both did an amazing job. Ears are level and healed and the tat lines are clean and straight. Matthew, made sure I did not get an infection via my tattoo. I have a reaction to red ink and he figured something else out. Looking good!

I had 3 piercings done by Jay, I believe is his name, and it was an AMAZING experience. He is SOO professional, and made it all very comfortable for me. I was a walk in client and from start to finish, it was an easy process. He answered every question without judgment. I’ve recommended this place quite a few times since my first visit (early 2019) and I’ll continue to recommend Mile High Ink/Jay forever! Haha :)

I have gotten two separate piercings from Mile High Ink and couldn’t be more pleased.I got my nose repierced and an industrial done. The service was exceptional!They ensured I knew everything that was involved pre-piercing, during piercing and post piercing. This was very helpful and kept me calm!Additionally Ben was so kind. He didn’t perform the first piecing but made sure all my needs were handled. He did my industrial piercing and was just above and beyond my expectations. He is truly a hands on owner that cares about everyone that walks into his shop.I also witnessed this with other customers when I was there.Not sure if I plan any more piercings or potential tattoos, but if I do, I would only choose Mile High Ink!

Ben gave me the greatest, most amazing divorce tattoo ever! His gentle touch and spot on detail was far beyond anything Ive ever had. He is truly a superior artist! And he plays fantastic music 😁

Got 2 piercings here a while back. The appearance of the shop itself was very nice and the piercer, and woman at the front were very nice overall, but the actual job of piercing was horrid. She couldnt have been an apprentice because there was no one else in the room when she pierced me. The lip piercing came out THROUGH my lip rather than under, so I took it out like a day later.. waste of money, and now I have a huge piece of scar tissue there. She also did my daith which she used a hoop for and from what two of my friends who are piercers have told me, it is never recommended to use hoops when piercing when you have the option of using a horseshoe, barbell, stud, etc. The prices they charged were also much higher than any of shop Ive been to.

I went in to get my helix pierced and I had a very less than ideal piercing experience. The piercer - we didnt even get his name - seemed like he was just trying to get me in and out of the place. He was really careless with placement on my ear and was basically ready to pierce me before my approval..It did get in the correct spot because I did speak up and get it moved a little lower. But the piercing itself felt forceful and careless, especially during jewelry placement and cleanup (yes i know piercings hurt because I already have some, but this was unreal). I spent about 20 minutes total in the shop but it was honestly kind of horrifying the way he did everything. I love how my piercing turned out, but Ill never refer or go back to this guy.

This place is the best. All of the artists are so talented and genuinely awesome people, but Ben is my go-to guy. The shop is super clean. Definitely the spot I go to for all my tattoo and piercing needs.

I’ve been going to jimmy Vegas to get my tattoos since I’ve moved back to Colorado. He does awesome work and I am super happy with the place he is at now, Mile High Ink. I met the owner and one of the other residence, they were amazing and friendly... making it easy to get my tattoo worked on.

They were all such lovely employees and a great environment. They went above and beyond in keeping me comfortable. I got snake bites done and they look great, they handled it with such care. Definitely coming back here!

Matt Hennagir is one of the best in the business. Took special care of all of his tools and work area, cleanliness was clearly important to him. My wife and I went in with tattoo ideas that we wanted, he took them and morphed them into a pieces of art we will carry with us forever. Drove from Illinois to Denver for our honeymoon and Matt helped make it a memory we will never forget. Thank you Matt and the Mile High Ink parlor.

Im kind of a nerdy researcher (even with tattoos) so it took me months to finally land on an artist and shop that I felt like was a good fit for the art I wanted on my arm. There were several factors that went into my decision-making process and I could go on and on about what I looked for and how I happened upon Mile High Ink but here is what youre probably most interested in:(1) Cleanliness: 5/5 - Mile High Ink was extremely clean, professional, and obviously concerned about exceeding health standards. We had a group of three people that got tattoos and Ben took the time to properly set up, break down, clean, and sanitize the entire space before we started, between sit-downs, and after we were done. I was highly impressed and didnt feel dirty or unsafe for even a second.(2) Professionalism: 5/5 - I reached out to Ben via Facebook Message several days before our arrival in Denver from Dallas to give him an idea of what we were looking for and to see if he had any availability. He wrote back within hours and was very kind, professional, and accommodating. He moved some things around in his schedule to clear several hours for us to come to the shop for our art and never made me feel like an inconvenience for messaging instead of calling or coming in. Once we got there, he immediately made us all feel comfortable, gave us some snacks, turned on some music from the band we had travelled to see at Red Rocks, and just made us feel welcome, comfortable, and at home. I never felt weird, out of my element, or judged in his shop.(3) Artwork: 5/5 - I came to Ben with a vague idea of what I was looking for and sent him 3-4 samples that I wanted to somehow meld together and integrate into a tattoo as well as a song with lyrics that specifically related to what I was looking for. Within hours he messaged me back with a rough draft of what he had in mind and it blew me away - it was exactly what I had in mind and was as if he reached into my brain and pulled out the details and artistry that I couldnt quite put into words. We didnt even have to edit it - we went entirely with his sketch and it was perfect. The number of compliments I have had on it is unreal.(4) Price: 5/5 - I hesitate to even rate on price because it is so subjective. You get what you pay for and if youre shopping for a tattoo based on price you may want to reconsider whether youre looking for a piece of art or a good deal and what your good deal may end up looking like in 20 years. That said, my husband and I both sat for an hour each (tattoos are priced based on an hourly rate) and I expected to pay significantly more than what we did based on the level of professionalism and how awesome the art was. I would have happily paid it, too.Bottom line: 5/5 - I would highly, highly recommend Ben and Mile High Ink if you have high standards and are looking for a quality piece of art. The shop is clean, the owner is accommodating, and the artistry was top-notch. I wouldnt hesitate to go back.

Best place to get tattooed!! Ben is an amazing artist! Gave me the most beautiful tattoo. The atmosphere is so relaxed and comfortable. I will definitely go back to him for more work.

I love going here for my tattoos the artists are great (I wont put my guys name in dont need you stealing my time lol). Everyone is friendly 😁 the work is beautifully done. They are very clean. I will continue to go back again and again.

My son found Jasons work online and insisted that he must do our tattos. (We did them the same day for his birthday) Jason is not only incredibly talented in his art and tattoos, he was funny and made it a really fun experience. We both love our tattoos and plan on going back soon to do more.

About 2 weeks ago I went in for a piercing with one of my friends, she getting a helix and I went in for a septum.In the beginning it was fine, everyone at the front was really nice and they had all the precautions of a normal tattoo parlor.Then it was time for the actual piercing. The piercer was late (which was fine, we can wait) but when it got to the actual piercing, she not only rushed through my friends piercing but messed up mine.My septum was pierced too low (I went to another parlor to get a second opinion), she was shaking as she was piercing me, and pierced me before I started breathing in on the common breathe in/breathe out procedure that happens when you get pierced.I ended up taking it out a day later because of placement and overall pain. I dont know what the tattooing is like there (Ive hear good things) but if you are planning on getting something pierced, Id suggest going somewhere else.

This shop is awesome!!! The vibe is great!!! I got my nose pierced by Tanya and I absolutely love it!!! This is the 3rd time having my nose pierced. Highly recommend this shop for piercings and tattoos!!!

I got my cartridge pierced by jess and I had another piercer look at it and it is so visibly crooked. I didn’t go in for a cartridge but got talked into one after being told the industrial wasn’t doable. Do not trust her she says she has experience but she does not. She claims to be a professional and an expert however doesn’t have the skill to prove it. Her space is unorganized and dirty. If you don’t believe me just ask her to pierce with a hoop, pierce a difficult piercing and she will try to talk you out of it to try to hide the fact she can’t.

My friend and I went the other day and the man who did ours did not know what he was doing nor what he was talking about. He took an hour and a half for piercings that should’ve taken tops 30 min. He also gave really bad advice about after care.

Such an amazing experience today. Got a very beautiful sunflower, by Ben. He did such an amazing job, I love it so much. Everyone was so nice, great customer service!! Will definitely be making this my permanent shop. 😊

I came in on a whim to get my rook pierced and my piercer was extremely quiet and never even told me his name. It seemed like he was either having a bad day or her really didn’t want to be there. On top of that, I felt like he was in a hurry to get me in and out, so the piercing felt forceful. He didn’t mark the piercing beforehand and ask me if I was ok with the placement. He didn’t offer me any other options for jewelry or size. On top of that he pinched my ear so hard with the pliers that he cut the inside of my ear. Then he didn’t even bother explaining to me any aftercare instructions. I got in and out in about 20 minutes, but I have to say it’s probably the worst piercing experience I’ve ever had.

It was bad. I like my tattoo regardless, but Id recommend going somewhere else. I got small cross on my wrist here. The artist I had barely communicated with me and just seemed like he wanted me in and out of there as soon as possible. He rushed my tattoo and didnt give a whole lot of information on how to care for it after getting it. (This was my first tattoo and I had mentioned that). Despite this I took good care of it, but it turned out spotty, because my skin was scarred in two spots from his work. So I went and got a free touch up as soon as I could which was nice, but because of his abrasive, sloppy work initially; it is still lighter in some areas because of my indented skin.

Just went here to get a new septum ring. Im pretty unfamiliar with tattoo shops so I was a little nervous but everyone in the shop was friendly and approachable. I didnt feel rushed or unwelcome, as I did with my initial experience in Boulder. I will definitely be purchasing more jewelry here in the future. Thank you for the great service!

Went here for my first tattoo and I love it. Everyone was nice and the artist (Ben) made sure I got what I wanted. They were very efficient and nailed the tattoo.

Ben is definitely one of the best at what he does. Very helpful and makes getting ink a very comfortable experience even for first timers. Every tattoo Ive gotten over the past 3 years has been at mile high ink and even after moving to a different state i still come back to have ben do all of my ink. 5 stars…awesome shop

Not only did Jason do an amazing job on my tattoo, he even did some extra research on his own to make sure I knew what I was getting. The place is super clean, not too expensive, and overall a place I will definitely be returning for my next tattoos!

My guy looked at my concept and made it way better than I envisioned. He walked me through his thoughts, had a dope studio, and his ink is sharp, clean and bold. Better than I hoped. The cherry on top was he noticed I’m a vet without me mentioning it and applied a fat discount. I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Ben was wonderful with my 5 year old, and shes extremely excited to have pierced ears. Great place, clean and comfortable inside. Google failed at directions - the entrance is not off Moss, but off a little side street just west of Moss that doesnt show up on the map.

I got my ears pierced there for the first time. They were very professional, very knowledgeable, and takes sanitation very seriously. They were very clear on instructions for after-care.I returned after accidentally pulling my earstuds out. They put in a new one flawlessly and without any additional charge.10/10, will definitely recommend to any newcomers.

This place is awesome! Caleb is an amazing tattoo artist and his line work is fabulous! Plus this place is supppper clean, all the staff is super cool and polite. Rates are pretty good too! I recommend!

I needed a new earring put in my cartilage piercing, so I stopped by here. The friendly piercer was available right away, so I was in and out in 15 minutes. The price was very reasonable. Will definitely be going back to this shop for my next piercing and/or ink.

My three friends and I needed a last minute appointment before we had to go to the airport and Mike High Ink accommodated us with 3 tattoo appointments and a piercing with 0 problems. Everyone there was so friendly and the environment was great. I would definitely go there again.

Always go here for all my daughters piercings. Great experience, all the people have been amazing to her. Highly recommend.

Recently saw Benjamin Elliott as a walk in to get my right nostril pierced. Great experience! No discomfort, nor is there any pain afterwards. Was in and out of there within 15 minutes. Thank you!

Matt was great, super nice he designed that tattoo just how I wanted and it turned out beautiful. I went with 2 friends and all out designs were fairly simple and they turned out awesome. Also very reasonably priced.

Tymbo is a great artist I always leave with a smile some great artwork and a sense of balance the ink therapy is always a great way to zen out all the bs of life

November of last year, snowy day, ended up getting some work done on my sleeve. Laid back place, Ben (owner) was super helpful and really made my sleeve looks more like a sleeve, not just a pieced up arm fest. Thumbs up!

Had my motorcycle break down late at night. I asked the shop owner if I could leave my bike in the lot overnight he was like of course. For a guy whom Ive never met to just be that cool was super awesome. My stress level went from 10 to 0. Thanks Ben, I appreciate it!Tim

Great place, clean, everyone is super friendly. Had a tattoo done with Ben about 4 weeks ago. Easy process from scheduling to getting the tattoo and its a great location! Thanks Ben!

Got a couple piercings last night, and it was very professional, the owner was super nice and made sure I knew all the aftercare. Will definitely be going again! Hopefully for a tattoo next time!

Extremely friendly and professional artists here. Non judgmental environment, very clean, and they make you feel right at home. Thorough work, non rushed. Down to earth artists, you won’t feel out of place here. I would highly recommend!

Amazing g experience even better work will definitely recommend to all my tattoo lovers frome here to California

I’ve always loved this place, I got my first tattoo here and I recently went back w my boyfriend to see Caleb last minute one night and he took us and was so cool and did a great job! We love our pieces and had such a great time getting to know Caleb ‘

Mile High Ink was definitely the best place I could have gone for my nostril piercing! I am new to Golden and was weary of where to go for my piercing so I asked some friends who all recommended Mile High Ink. Everyone I asked was definitely right - everyone at Mile High Ink is friendly, helpful, quick, and very cleanly!

Everyone was super nice and my experience a pleasant one. I got my cartilage pierced and would definitely return to get any more piercings or tattoos. Highly recommend!

Maya was absolutely wonderful and did a fantastic job with my piercings. The tattoo artist that I talked to was very friendly and knowledgeable about the water color tattoo I had asked about.

My nose piercing is healed and I still have an issue with its placement 👎. It is too far back and looks weird to me when I look straight at the mirror. From the side it looks okay but I wanted a dainty accessorie. The guage is too big for me. The diameter is too large. I wanted to later insert a dainty hoop nose ring but its too far back for jewel to look good on me.Overall, I dont recommend them if you want a piercing cause they dont care about your opinion about the placement and the size. The guy who did mine seemed to be in a bad mood and in a rush to get this done. I paid a lot of money to end up with a piercing I dont like and I could have taken it out but I already spent the money and because the guage is so big that is gonna leave a lasting scar. I would rather cover it up with a nose ring instead.

I got a cartilage piercing in October and my experience was great! Everyone was very nice and the piercing was quick, easy, and painless. Definitely would recommend Mike High Ink!

Super friendly and professional! I have never had anything short of an amazing experience here with Jason, and my siblings have even been here to have piercings fixed! Highly recommend

Absolutely love the guys down at Mile High Ink. Professional, talented and fun shop in Golden! Couldnt recommend anywhere better for a new custom tattoo or piercing! Check them out.

Great experience with Jason!!! So nice and make me feel very welcomed. Everyone here was so cool and I love my tattoo!!!

The shop is very beautiful. Jason is very kind, informative, and has good energy. Thank you for my new tattoo! I can’t wait to go back for my other pieces:)

Great people. Great atmosphere. Very helpful and tentative to clients. Love the work they do. Recommend them to anyone. Caleb will be my artist for a long time.

Excellent tattoo experience! The establishment is very clean, the owner utilizes the most advanced equipment and the after-care/healing protocols are very progressive (Saniderm process). This is the only shop I have come to trust in this area.

Amazing shop! Got great looking crisp tattoos and a piercing, all while feeling right at home. Clean shop, great vibes and an awesome experience! You need to get your tattoo or piercing here!

Great clean shop. Incredibly talented artists. My new ink looks incredible and when we were done I went right upstairs to the phoenix bar and had a cold one. What more could you ask for?

This place is corrupt, they have poor quality work and a total lack of business ethics. Don’t be their next victim. Don’t be fooled by the fake persona you are presented by the owner or any of the meaningless awards they display.

I just got my nose and industrial pierced here. The staff is so nice and sweet. It was super affordable and I love my piercings. I highly recommend, the people are great!!

I had my daith pierced by Ben,It was my first piercing other than my lobe. I was nervous, Ben was knowledgeable and understanding, I had a great experience. I highly recommend Mile High Ink.

Matt was super friendly and very attentive to detail. He was the best tattoo artist I’ve ever had. I will return to get any future tattoos!

Got my nose pierced by Harrison!! He was great! He took his time to prepare and clean up! He also explained how to clean the piercing!! Would highly recommend Harrison!!

I’ve gotten two tattoos from Jason and they both look absolutely amazing!! I will be going back and have referred multiple friends there as well!

I love my tattoo. I was able to get in within the hour and it’s better than imagined! If I’m ever back in the Denver area I’ll be back!!

Ben is fantastic. I have not had a better piercing experience. Knowledgeable, personable, and a fantastic parlor. Absolutely returning for all future work!

Awesome shop! Stopped in from out of town for a tattoo and Caleb was awesome. I love my new piece and everyone in the shop was friendly and welcoming.

Again another great experience with a 2nd tattoo, love this place

Got my ears re-pierced here and was very impressed. Extremely professional and careful about placement. Wish I had taken my daughter here to get her ears done rather than going to the mall.

Absolutely love the piercer he was awesome he made it very smooth and a very good experience but had a few questions for one of the tattoo artist and he was very rude looking to go somewhere else for a tattoo but other than that I would recommend to get it piercing there any time

Kassidy Quinn is an absolutely amazing piercer. She is very informative and straight forward! She explains things really well!! She did great on my lip and nipples!

The atmosphere, artists, location, everything about this place is on point. If you are looking for black, gray, or white check out Matt Hennagir. Solid work for a fair price. Couldnt recommend this place more.

I absolutely love my tattoo, it was a clean place, good price, and did not take too much time. It was great, highly recommend.

Ben did an amazing job, as always, on my new tat... Great attention to detail, fast, cheap, and clean. Not much more you could ask for!

Jason at Mile High has done all my tattoos and is one of the nicest dudes I know. He has killed all my tattoos and I don’t see myself going to anyone else in the future!

Amazing service, very friendly staff, comfortable to sit through getting a tattoo, and amazing work. Satisfied doesnt even begin to describe how happy I am with their work

Best tattoo studio in Denver! Ben does my work, Jason does my wifes work, and we couldnt be happier with the results.

Jason was amazing, there was 4 of us getting first time tatoos and he did great work on all of us. Highly recommended

Top of the Line! Talented, patient, and intuitive! Best shop in the Metro. The staff is professional, casual, and up front throughout. The price is affordable and you still get the best results!

I don’t know how to delete a review - so I gave this place 3 stars because I had a bad experience here, but Ben, the owner, was so nice and understanding and was able to resolve the issue. I appreciate their willingness to make their customers happy and to correct their mistakes.

Jason has had my idea for a tattoo for well over a month and has yet to call or text to check in with me. I have messaged him once but thats it far as the communication goes.

Great experience. Clean facility, knowledgeable people, and quality art for a great price. Looking forward to getting my next tattoo with Mile High Ink.

I have gotten two tattoos from here so far and I love the detail and Quality of both of them and I will definitely go back and get more from them

Ben is a one of his kind. From my free lip piercing, breakfast and lunch. One time after ben did a all day tap out tat session he drove me home.... to blackhawk 45mins away this man has my business hands down

I had a tapout session done here and the employees and management were all great.good music playing all day, Im going back in april and have already referred some friends to come here for the quality service.

My tattoo is clear and colored! It has not faded or bled like my other ones. I want to go back and have my other ones cleaned up by the artist who did my foot.

Ben Elliot and Matt Hennagir doth do great work. Next time in Denver and looking for more ink will definatly get back to this shop.

Great place Ben did a great job on my piercins. I am so glad that I came to Mile High Ink, the atmosphere was nice, very clean, and the people here are so helpful great place all around.

First time getting a tat and let me tell you....Jason was amazing and made me feel at ease the ENTIRE time. Give Jason a raise because we need more people like him in the world

Great shop with great people; very accommodating, friendly, and skillful. Will definitely be going back!

Feeling that need to get a tattoo craving? Look no further!! Ben and crew are WONDERFUL!! Something simple? Something intricate? This is your team!!

Caitlin is an amazing artist with a very calming presence and made me feel completely at ease during my experience!
