About Pete

I’ve dedicated my life to tattooing and becoming the absolute best artist I can be. I grew up in Greeley Colorado where I started tattooing and decided to move to the Denver Metro area to find larger opportunities and be surrounded by more artists of a higher caliber. I’ve traveled to a few states to learn under some amazing artists to ensure I’m giving the best quality work I possibly can for anyone who sits in my chair.

Policies

Deposit Policy
Come the day of the appointment you’re only required to pay the remaining balance. Any and all deposits are non refundable. If your tattoo takes multiple sessions you will need to put down $200 for each session we secure. That deposit immediately goes towards the final price of the tattoo.
Cover-Up Policy
Not accepting cover-ups.
Rescheduling Policy
For rescheduling, I require at least a 72 hour notice or the deposit will then be forfeited. You are allowed one reschedule before the deposit is forfeited. As for cancellations; as stated before all deposits are non refundable.
Touch-Up Policy
After 6 weeks (when the tattoo is completely healed) we will know if it needs a touch up and schedule to do so immediately (if needed). This first touch up is free of charge. Anything after 3 months will be considered natural wear from the elements and I will charge a low flat rate based off the time needed to touch up the tattoo. If the tattoo appears to be neglected or healed irresponsibly for the initial healing stage of 6 weeks there will be a low flat rate based off the time needed to touch up the tattoo.
Late policy
My time is incredibly valuable just like yours. If you later than 15 minutes to the appointment you will be charged a $100 late fee. GPS is not always 100% on point with time so leave a little early if needed to avoid traffic.
No numbing cream
I do not allow numbing cream under any circumstances. Numbing cream messes with the quality of work as well as the healing process. This tattoo is on you forever and I want it to look and heal as good as possible. If you arrive and I see that numbing cream has been applied we will cancel the appointment immediately, the deposit will be forfeited, and if you would still like to get tattooed I will require another deposit.
Design process
I do not send out designs before the appointment. During your consultation (online or in person) I will ask the questions I need to get the best understanding in order to help create your vision. With the information gathered I will create a piece unique for you that not only fits and flows with your body but holds/ reads well over time. Come the day of your appointment we will sit down, you can see your design, and if any changes need to be made we can do so on the spot.
Payment
For payments, I accept cash, Zelle, Venmo, or Apple Pay. (No Cash App, no pay pal, or anything else not listed above)

FAQ

Do you charge by the hour or the piece
I charge by the piece. Basically half and full day to simplify everything. Half days are up to 5 hours and full days are up to 10 hours
