Sinfulltration: This unassuming little West Colfax shop houses a small staff with large talent, including husband-wife team Chad and Amanda Martin. Fun fact: When he's not creating epidermal art, you can catch Chad with his band Colfax Cowboys."7004 W. Colfax Ave., Lakewood; 303-232-9289
Faith: Faith refers to itself as a tattoo gallery, and its eclectic décor -- including a keyhole-shaped walkway -- and skilled artists certainly supports that claim. Located northwest of town in Golden, the immaculate shop and quality work makes it well worth the extra few minutes' drive from downtown.809 13th St., Golden; 303-278-2296
Th'ink Tank: This vibrant South Broadway body art mecca often has upwards of nine artists and guest artists on hand. In addition to tats, Th'ink Tank hosts revolving curated shows featuring art from local tattoo artists.172 S Broadway; 720-932-0124
