These ladies are IT. Not only are all three of them incredibly professional and kind, they are some of the most talented women I have ever met. I have not had the pleasure of working with Kristy yet, but Destiny has done several pieces for me and Christa was a delight to work with too! They take the time to listen to what you want and make sure to deliver their best. They have shown SO much grace in the chaos that has been COVID, and I know have done their best to keep everyone safe. If you want an artist that cares more about what you put in their wallet than the effort they put into your piece, Im sure there is a shop up the road for you. If youre looking for QUALITY work, go to Blackbird

A women owned tattoo shop full of amazing talent! It’s a wonderful shop, clean and welcoming. Be sure to make an appointment as these ladies keep busy because they’re as good as they are! Photos are tattoos done by Lora Bird.

I was super nervous about getting my first tattoo but everyone at the shop was super caring. You can really tell everyone who works there enjoys what they do and genuinely cares about their customers. Destiny explained everything to me in a easy to understand way and made sure I was comfortable. The shop was very clean and cozy. My only problem is I don’t think I will ever be able to go to another shop because it simply wouldn’t compare. :) Will definitely return!

I had my first Tattoo done by Mick, I was in the Navy for 9 years and never got one. Mick had done one for my daughter and I thought it was great so I decided to finally get this done. I was very very happy I made the decision to have Mick do my first tat. I am very pleased with the result. Mick was very professional and the place is very clean. I am beyond pleased with this experience and would highly recommend this shop.

Everyone here is so lovely and welcoming and the shop is an incredibly pleasant place to be. Lora did an awesome job with my tattoo and was happy to do a quick touch up after it healed. I always love supporting women-run businesses and Blackbird is no exception! I will definitely be back for my next piece and have already recommended them to several friends.

ALL THREE OF THE ARTISTS ARE INCREDIBLE!! They have created a friendly and beautiful environment that avoids how uncomfortable it can be to try to enter some other shops. I have 2 tattoos from Destiny and 2 from Lora, I am getting one from Kirsty in just a few weeks.Its clean, great work, and welcoming.

My husband and I both got tattoos from Kristy this past Saturday. She was super easy to communicate with via email (which I appreciate for my work schedule), responded in a timely manner, and was super professional. Her shop is bright & neatly decorated, and super clean. The other tattoo artist that was there was also really happy and polite when we came in. Kristy made us feel comfortable & heard, and the tablet she uses for tattoo design is really cool. She did a great job and we are both super happy!

This was my first tattoo ever and it was a fantastic experience. My artist (Kristy York) was incredible, she visualised my design better than I even could have, put on my music to make me comfortable, and gave me a fantastic tattoo. There was a slight wait while another customer was getting finished up but the decor is so cool I didnt mind at all. Highly highly recommend.

My wife went in to get a piece of my art tattooed on her leg. They are both amazingly professional, and amazingly talented. The shop is very clean and Kirstie is a phenomenal artist to both work with and in terms of replicating a piece. I highly recommend them.

I got a tattoo from Kristy about a month ago and everything went incredibly smoothly. I was drawn to her shop because I really liked that it was owned and operated by a female in an industry that is traditionally male dominated and Im glad I chose Kristy! I already had a design drawn by someone close to me that I just wanted tattooed, so I cant speak much to her art skills, but by simply looking at her instagram and the drawings around the studio I can tell she has immense talent and would definitely consider getting an original piece from her in the future. The studio was clean, organized, and incredibly welcoming (I especially appreciated being able to pet her dog in the waiting area). Kristy was professional and easy to talk to and able to answer any questions I had. My tattoo has now healed incredibly well and I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a tattoo.

Highly recommend this studio. My artist (Mick Minyard) visualized the design I wanted perfectly, and executed it extremely well. He was also very patient with me regarding scheduling issues. Overall great place and people, would definitely come back for future tattoos.

I went in for their friday the 13th flash sale. The tattoo artists are so friendly and the place has a great atmosphere. Even with how busy the day was and how long they had been working for they remained cheerful. Cannot reccomend this place enough. My tattoo also turned out just the way I wanted.

We are traveling from Texas to see family and Kirsty was amazing. The studio is sterile and and in a nice area. We did not have exact photos of exactly what we wanted, but she drew it up and it turned out beautiful. She is super friendly and laid back. Her precious dog hangs out while she works. A great place. We will be back!! Thanks Kirsty!

I have had Holly work on my sleeve for well over a year now. She always treats me with the utmost respect and is very professional. I think her work is absolutely wonderful and she really puts all her heart into her work. I have other tattoo work done and she is by far the best artist I have worked with. Her shop is very clean and comfortable and Holly makes sure that you are getting exactly what you want. I would recommend her to anyone who would like to get a tattoo because she has a great artistic ability. I have never had an issue with healing and Holly makes sure its known that shes always available for questions. Bottom line; if you want a high quality tattoo and a pleasurable environment to get it done in, go to Big Buddha Ink.

Kirsty is such a sweetheart. We havent had the best experience in Colorado with locals but she turned it all around. From calling to see if she had time for a walk in, to laying on the table, she was the best. I cant believe she isnt packed open to close. I will update with a picture when it heals but I know this was great work and I cant wait to visit again. Her doggo Beau Jo makes the shop very fun to chill in. See you soon girl! Pet Beau for us!

Kirsty is a doll, and a talented young woman. Its always nice when an artist can visualize what youre looking for- she may as well have taken it right out of my head and put it on paper. And then made it better. Ill be coming back no doubt!

Review №31

All I gave Holly was a theme and a color pallet. She totally pulled my dreams out of my brain and put it on my entire back (top to bottom, along my spine across my shoulders, my ribs, down my rump and over my hips) neck, and upper arms. It was perfect. She covered a dated 15 year old tattoo while she was at it and fixed the previous work on the back of my neck. Did I mention she did it all freehand? Shes amazing.

Holly is the best tattoo artist I have been to! She is so artistically attuned and will give you more than you could imagine. I have received so many compliments from strangers around the world about how amazing the colors and line work are on my tattoos done by Holly. Highly highly highly recommend :)

I have gone to three different tattoo artists and Holly has been the best by far! She is very professional and knows exactly what shes doing. I refuse to go to any other tattoo artist! If youre looking for a fun and amazing tattoo artist Holly is your girl!!!

This is the BEST experience I have ever had with tattooing. Holly is doing an amazing job on a very large cover-up on my back and it looks flawless. If you want impeccable art by an incredibly imaginative and talented artist-Holly is your girl.

I went to Holly a few years after getting a really bad sugar skull tattoo when I was 17. I went in with all these grand ideas to not only fix the tattoo but to make it better and better as well. Holly talked me out of that and suggested that we get the tattoo fixed first, and then I can decide if I want to add to it. She was right, as now my tattoo is so much better and I dont feel the need to add anymore. Her shop is clean, and she is very professional and friendly. I highly recommend her to all my friends!
