Garrett is extremely talented and creative! My husband and I both gave him a concept and he designed each of ours perfectly! The detail and shading is exceptional and we are extremely happy with the finished product! The shop is very clean and comfortable and Garrett was really personable. We’ll undoubtedly be back when we’re ready for the next one!

I have loved every visit to R&G! Even making the drive from Denver didn’t bother me. The vibe is always welcoming, their shop is clean and respectful. Both Ricky and Garrett are incredibly talented artists and truly want to give you their best every time. And bonus there are both really good humans. I love those…

I got my first tattoo with Grace. The tattoo turned out better than I ever expected a tattoo to look on me. She really took her time and made sure the tattoo was absolutely perfect before I walked out of the studio. I keep getting compliments on it. I will be coming back to her for future work.

I have now gotten two pieces done by Grace and will be going to her exclusively for any future work. She’s very professional and incredibly talented. She genuinely cares about how the pieces turn out and gives personal tattoo care advice. She’s also super easy to schedule with and is very transparent about pricing…

I have been following the work of R&G and many other artists throughout NOCO before deciding who was going to tattoo me. After watching Ricky and his amazing skills and design work I chose him. (Photo to come at completion). I had a 4hr session today and I am beyond ecstatic for what this will look like finished.…

Had an awesome experience with Grace! Her tattoos are beautiful but on top of that she was also very kind and welcoming. I’ve never been so comfortable/relaxed getting tattoo. I plan to see her for all of my future tattoos!
