Review of Electric Crayon Tattoo Co.
Electric Crayon Tattoo Co. is a tattoo and body piercing shop located in Aurora, Colorado. The shop offers a range of tattoo and piercing services, including custom designs and cover-ups. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere and is staffed by experienced tattoo artists and piercers.
The shop has received mixed reviews from customers. Some customers have praised the shop for its talented artists and quality work. One customer mentioned that they have been getting tattoos from Steve Smith since 2014 and hold the shop and Steve in a special place in their heart. They also mentioned that the shop has clean lines, beautiful work, and great vibes. Another customer praised Bri for being an amazing piercer who is kind and helpful.
However, other customers have had negative experiences at the shop. One customer mentioned that they received a sloppy and almost unreadable tattoo from Steve after being told it would take between 2-3 hours. They felt that Steve didn't care about their piece because it wasn't his original art. Another customer mentioned that they had a poor experience with their nose and daith piercings. They felt that the piercer didn't talk them through the daith piercing and their ear canal immediately filled with blood. They also mentioned that the shop recommended washing the piercings with soap on q-tips, which caused the skin around both piercings to become extremely dry and their piercings don't feel clean at all.
The shop's prices have also been a point of contention for some customers. One customer mentioned that they felt they were taken advantage of because they came in as a walk-in and were charged $250 for a tattoo that took less than an hour. Another customer mentioned that they felt the shop was overpriced for the work they received.
Overall, Electric Crayon Tattoo Co. has a range of talented artists and piercers, but customers should be aware of the mixed reviews and pricing concerns before choosing to get a tattoo or piercing at the shop.

Called on a Saturday night right before closing, and got an appointment with Steve. Met him and got started on my lower back cover up. He was AWESOME!! He laughed and joked with me so I wasnt thinking about the pain, and it was over in a flash. The conversation was fun, friendly, and just what I needed at the time. The price was just as awesome. The shop was super clean, and everyone was super nice. Steve did exactly, and beyond what I imagined, and I only had an idea of what I wanted. I can not say enough about it. Perfect, awesome, excellent, and more. I will be going back for all my cover ups, and every new tatt I get. THANKS AGAIN STEVE...

This is, and always will be, my go to place to get piercings. Staff is super friendly and experienced. It May be hard to catch them occasionally, but trust me it is worth waiting a day or two for this awesome staff. I have never had a bad experience here. Everything is always done quickly, patiently, and exactly how I want it to look with minimal pain. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Steve Smith is one of the best Tattoo artists that I've had a pleasure working with. He completed my tat within 3 1/2 hours and did a fabulous job. I definitely will be going back for other work.

I got my first tattoo there almost 5 years ago. At the time I thought it was well done, until I went to a different shop... firstly the guy there used a stick deodorant on my arm directly that he used on EVERY OTHER CLIENT. He had a very heavy hand, and the entire tattoo is a patch of rough, bumpy scar tissue. My friend at the time had 1 huge piece that had absolutely 0 scaring, but the small piece that this artist did on her also turned out very raised and scarred after healing.
Currently none of my other tattoos are like this, they're all smooth and have never irritated me. I use unscented lotions still as well as a cream my husband and son both use for eczema.
Wish I could remember the name of the artist, but I hope he found another passion.
On a positive I had my nose pierced there 5 years ago as well and the piercer was absolutely fantastic! 10/10 would recommend whoever she was.

Awesome! I went for my first tattoo today. Dennis was so very nice and engaging. I was very nervous walking in the door but the minute he spoke I felt calmed. I will definitely be going back to Dennis for more! It looks awesome and he made a perfect replica of my dogs paw print who passed away.

I had two tattoos done in the same day. One by Steven Jr. He did a fantastic job! And one by Steven. Quick, clean and the amount of detail is incredible. Everyone is professional and know what they are doing. I will be recommending them to everyone I know, and when I am in town again, I look forward to getting new ink!

I got two different tattoos from Piper. He does amazing work and is super friendly. He helped work with me to find a design I was happy with. HOWEVER, I had an appointment set up after work one day and I showed up, only to find out he was sick and left. I live in the Springs, so it's a two hour round trip drive for me. He didn't let me know he was leaving, I had to show up and waste that gas. I've tried messaging him on Facebook, I left my number at the shop for him to call me and reschedule. He's ignoring me.

Javi the Piercer is the coolest dude ever. He is patient kind and professional. He takes his time makes sure the placement is where you desire. The best part of him is that he’s doing this cause he likes it not just because it’s how he gets paid. If you want a passionate person who knows what they are doing and is trust worthy you should come here.
