I am in need of a good tattoo artist in denver.

I'm getting a back piece in honor of my brother, from a picture he took during his first tour. Pencilized, no color except for the flag and the purple fox, with his name, rank and dates below it. The cut off portion of the helicopter will need to be added, some other little items need to be addressed.

My coworker gets all of his work done at the Think Tank (http://www.thinktanktattoo.com/) in Denver. From what I've seen they do really good work.

I'll post up the specific artist's name tomorrow.

I can give a recommendation for Paul @ Mantra Tattoo in Lakewood. He just finished this dragon on my arm. All the artists there are very good and I'm sure at least one of them would be willing to do the piece you are wanting. In fact they are currently leading the Channel 7 poll for the best tattoo shop in Denver. Check out the descriptions of each shop and see if one sounds more appealing to you.

I'd recommend the guy that did the dragon on my arm but he's dead. He was probably one of the best portrait artists I've ever seen. Other then that would be Twisted Sol and there's a wait list so..

I'm sorry for your loss Man, I don't know what I'd do if I lost my brother. I guess that's why mine keeps telling me to come home. I'm coming back from where he was very soon. If there's anything you need from me, just let me know.

Semper Fi,

Sgt Hansen, J.G.

I went by mantra, they have some good artists, but not in the style that i want. Ben's stuff seemed to fit my thought's the best out of the ones there, but he didn't have alot of portrait type to show off. I did see a 502 tattoo that someone had done there though.

I then went to think tank, they have some damn good artists! I put my name on Jef Kopp's list, but he's booked till june. He had the best black shading i've seen so far.

I'll continue to look, if i find an artist elsewhere i'll cancel the apointment.

RU Tattoed here in the Springs is the best here is there web site

The do some of the best work I have ever seen and they are also great guy's and sportbike riders. If you are willing to do a little travel I think they could really give you the tattoo your brother and you deserve.

Chicago and Baby Tim are the best!!!

If you talk to em tell them Bash's sent you!!!

Good luck and by the way what a great and fitting tribute to one of are fallin soldiers and obviously a deeply missed brother!!!

I hope this helps and when you get it done post it should be sweet!!!
