Vanity Ink is a custom tattoo studio in Wheat Ridge for anyone who takes pride in how they look. Everything here, from the work to the room, comes back to that pride.
The name Vanity Ink came from the idea that there's nothing wrong with wanting to look and feel your best. Tattoos are deeply personal: they can express who you are, celebrate where you've been, or help you feel more confident in your own skin. Vanity Ink stands for self-expression, confidence, and creating beautiful, meaningful artwork that you're proud to wear.
The artist who tattoos you is the person you'll spend every hour of your session with, and their way of drawing is something your tattoo will carry for good. Each of our artists has a style of their own, so let their work guide your choice: look through their tattoos, find the pieces that feel closest to what you're imagining, and you'll know whose chair to sit in.
Our philosophy is that a tattoo should be more than something that simply looks good on the day it's finished.
We work out the design properly before anything else happens and plan it for the place it will go, so it suits your body and follows its shape the way good clothes do.
Every piece is applied with patience, precision and care, so that it remains something you're proud to wear for years to come, not only on the day you leave the studio.
We've always held consultations and taken deposits in person, so we can talk everything through before the first line goes on and never treat your tattoo as one more booking.
A large tattoo can take several long sessions, so the room you spend those hours in matters. Our layout was planned to give you a more relaxed, personal experience without the cramped or chaotic feeling of a traditional tattoo shop, and every detail, from the artwork and lighting to the finishes and client areas, was chosen to make you feel comfortable, confident and excited to be there.
The front desk greets you at the entrance, where the purple marbled floor runs back to the workstations.
Black leather benches line the front windows, a comfortable place to sit before your session begins.
At each workstation, a black tattoo chair sits under ring lights against stenciled black walls.
One of our private tattoo rooms, set up for a session under a hexagon-shaped ceiling light.
Framed tattoo work hangs along the walls, so your eyes have somewhere to wander during a long sitting.
Awards and trophies for tattoo work line the shelves along the purple honeycomb wall.
Cleanliness and safety are a major priority. Our sterilization area, procedures and workspaces are designed around professional infection-control standards.
One guest can come along and sit with you for as long as your session runs.
Our Wheat Ridge studio sits in a strip mall on Kipling Street, with free parking right outside.
Request a consultation and tell us what you're hoping for. A few pictures you've saved are plenty to start with, and we'll shape the design with you from there.
