About Ink City
Aurora Tattoo Shop
Ink City is a locally owned tattoo and piercing studio serving Aurora, Colorado, and the surrounding areas. Our shop was built on a simple principle: create high-quality, custom work in a clean, professional environment where every client feels comfortable and confident. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your next large piece, our goal is to deliver artwork you’re proud to wear for life.
Tattoo Consultation Process
At Ink City, every tattoo starts with a consultation to ensure the best possible result. Consultations give our artists the opportunity to understand your idea, discuss design details, and recommend proper sizing and placement. Whether you arrive with reference images or just a general concept, we work with you to refine the design so it fits your vision and your body.
During the consultation, we discuss style preferences, placement, timeline, and any questions you may have about the tattoo process. This step helps set clear expectations and ensures both the artist and client are aligned before scheduling. For larger or more detailed pieces, consultations allow us to properly plan multi-session work and deliver a well-executed final result.
Why Ink City
At Ink City, we maintain a welcoming and professional studio designed to meet the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. We follow strict sterilization practices, use high-quality equipment and materials, and take the time to ensure every client understands the process from start to finish. Walk-ins are welcome, and consultations are always encouraged so we can fully understand your vision before any work begins.
Studio Standards & Safety
Ink City maintains a clean, professional studio and follows strict health and safety standards for every tattoo and piercing. All equipment is properly sterilized, single-use materials are disposed of after each client, and our artists follow industry-standard hygiene practices throughout the entire process. We use high-quality inks, needles, and supplies to ensure both safety and long-term results.
Client comfort and safety are always our top priority. Our team takes the time to explain procedures, answer questions, and provide clear aftercare instructions to support proper healing. From your first visit to your final session, Ink City is committed to maintaining a safe, professional, and welcoming environment.
