Tattoos have been part of human culture for thousands of years — from the 5,300-year-old Ötzi the Iceman’s therapeutic dots and lines to the meaningful art we create today. At Tribal Rites, we turn your ideas, memories, and milestones into lasting custom pieces across our four Colorado studios.
Since 1994 we’ve been the trusted name for professional custom tattoos in Boulder, Longmont, Westminster (Brentcross Center), and Loveland. Every design is created in-studio during a private consultation — no generic flash, just artwork built specifically for you.
Bold lines, vibrant colors, and playful modern twists.
Hyper-detailed black & grey or full color portraits and photo-realistic work.
Timeless bold lines, bright colors, and classic American imagery.
Delicate, elegant single-needle or micro-realism pieces.
Solid black, dotwork, mandalas, and sacred geometry.
Large-scale sleeves, backs, and fully collaborative original designs.
Every tattoo starts with a free in-studio consultation. Bring your ideas, reference images, or let our team help refine the concept. We create a custom stencil on the spot, walk you through placement and sizing, then begin the work in a comfortable salon style bed or massage table. We use only premium inks and needles, and every client receives detailed aftercare instructions tailored to Colorado’s dry climate.
Our base minimum is $100. Most of our artists work at $150/hr. Custom pieces are quoted in person based on size, detail, and time. Consultations are always free.
Yes! Walk-ins are welcome at all locations, subject to artist availability.
