Reviews of Workhorse Tattoo Collective (Tattoo Shop)

Anthony Link

Just went in to swap to a larger ring for my favorite piercing. The store was clean and the staff was friendly. I'd certainly consider going back for some ink work or another piercing.

Holly Bell

I've been getting tattooed at Ink for the last 7 years and the artists that work there are always so professional. They treat me with courtesy and are always prompt with their services. Highly recommend this shop for a great tattoo and experience!

Jordan Monson

Wouldn't go any other place but Ink Tattoo! Leonard had done 90% of the ink on me, has done GREAT work, all of my friends and family go here.

Kennedy Cobain

Ink is a great establishment, fabulous customer service and communication. Josh has done most of my work in this shop and I've always been satisfied.

LUIS CHAVEZ

Best tattoo experience I have ever had. Beautiful work and great atmosphere. Leonard is the best.

amber howard

I have had 3 tattoos done at this shop and I love the experience, I love the family feeling I get, and how well I'm taking care of. All my tattoos have been awesome, the prices are great, and Leonards knowledge and creative thinking is beyond amazing! Definetely will continue getting my art done here it took me almost two years to find a tattoo shop and artist here in Colorado!

Erin Miller

Workhorse is the only place I will ever go! Clean, professional, fair pricing, and always a fun experience! Eric Bell has done 3 of 4 of my tattoos (1 cover up) over 8 years time and I am still just as happy with the quality as I was when I walked out of the shop. The creativity of the artist there, the care for their clients and what their clients want, and the atmosphere continue to blow me away. I send all of my friends and family to them and will continue to do so. Time for more ink for me, too!

liz joye

I've had several tattoos done by Leonard, I would not go anywhere else. They are talented aurora and very professional!

Student Alanna Bell

This shop is super kid friendly and open to what ever you want. All the artists there are super kind and will treat you with respect. They also do great work and you never leave with a bad tattoo. Love the shop and the people there.

Niko Godinez

Josh is an amazing Artist and takes pride in what he does, the prices are extremely fair and great art work.

Patrick Pepper

I have to say, I really like the atmosphere here. Most shops have just a wall of predefined tattoos to choose from, but Ink has a mural that all of the artists have contributed to, that is still a work in progress, and it looks great. I came to get my first chest tattoo and my artist was Josh. He was understanding to how much I could take and was entertaining, even while he was focused on creating an excellent piece. I had to go back in for color and touching up, and my experience was no different from the first. I was amazed with the quality of work and still am. I will go back for any future work, as the other guys are just as entertaining and awesome. I felt like I was just laughing and hanging out with friends, and not having high-speed needles dig into my chest. Excellent shop and I would go back to Josh for anything. He is amazing and will always have my business.

Vincent Vega

Great shop with awesome talent. All of my 20 tattoos have been done by these guys! Wont go anywhere else!!

Brandon Gonzales

I got my first and only piercing here and both of my tattoos at this shop. Leonard feels like family and the shop is a comfortable place to be. I have never felt unwelcome. They also care about what they are putting on you, every piece I have, and that my sister has gotten, had a ton of love and care put into them. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I look forward to visiting the shop again.

Tessa Harper

We love this place ...they do great work, have extremely nice and patient artists and always keep a clean shop. I always recommend Josh for anyone looking to get some work done; if he can put up with my whiny self then he can handle anyone.

Reid Young

I got a tattoo from Josh. It was the best experience I've had getting a tattoo and I have a few. We met and it was like we had known each other for awhile before. Very friendly and a good atmosphere.

ILeah Lathrop

My sister and I went in for matching tattoos for her 18th birthday and it was an awesome experience. The shop has a great atmosphere and Eric was very cool, he has great personality, and incredibly talented. He did an AMAZING job. I have many tattoos and his is one of my favorites. We love our tattoos. I don't want to go anywhere else ever for future tattoos.

Kal Krukowski

I had my piece done by Leonard and the whole experience was incredible. His work and prices are unbelievable. I will definitely be only using Leonard or the guys from Workhorse from now on.

Dominick B.

Josh really helped me out today! What a great guy so glad i stopped in. I was recommended by one of my buddies to stop in and I'll definitely be going back! He went out of his way to help me and it was highly appreciated! Shows alot about the shop as a whole with how well treated me. Tons of respect!

Janessa Smith

I got my whole right arm sleeve done by Leonard recently. I love this place. This is the only place I will get tattooed. The staff is amazing. I feel safe and comfortable while I am being worked on. The staff / artists are completely skilled and have years of experience.

Kayla Schonebaum

Excellent service. Super friendly. Artist was amazing.

Hailey Harris

Josh is the only artist I will go to, I had two tattoos that were poorly done and the cover ups that he did were absolutely amazing! He's very professional and takes great care of his clients. Would definitely recommend!

Kayla Pearson

I have been going to this shop for almost 8 years. Leonard M is one of the best artist. not only is his art talented, but him as a person brings the whole experience to another level. The atmosphere is always a good vibe, people are always happy, and honest. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I've had maybe 10 of my friends go to this place and were not let down.

Monica Gonzales

I have been going to Ink Tattoo since I was 17. My mom had to sign off for my piercings and for my first tattoo, a portrait of my late father. Now I am 25 and will still only go to this shop for all of my tattoo needs. Leonard has done all 5 of my tattoos and he is an amazing artist. I bring my idea of the tattoo I want and he comes up with a beautiful one of a kind vision! Not only are they great at tattooing, they are also very personable. The shop is a comfortable place to be and for as long as I have been going, Leonard feels like family. It's a place where you can always come and know that you will be remembered and feel like they are happy to see you. I will never go anywhere else and am looking forward to my next session!

D C

Leonard is a true professional! I met Leonard on a walk in years ago and he is now a friend and the only artist I will go to for tattoos. I have met some of the other staff over the years and they all are professional and have great talent as well.

Ashley Albright

All of these guys do amazing work although Leonard is my artist. I would never trust another person to do any of my tattoos for the rest of my life! Great place to go!

Joslynn Nahrwold

Love Leonard. Everytime I come home my sister and I come in for some ink therapy. Keep up the good work.

Mark Windler

This place is amazing! I love the people the artwork is amazing and I'll never go anywhere ever again! If your smart you'll go.

Preston Cox

Josh and the crew Eric,Lenard, and little josh are the most fun upbeat guys I have had the pleasure of hanging with! With over 72 flawless hours of tattooing done by josh I'd say I have the right to tell folks about this joint. Take a look at how clean and precessional there studios are for your self. Wow great job guys. I tell everyone to do work here. And guess what they are now wearing it!!

Cherish Longaberger

Josh has done two of my tattoos and does a FANTASTIC job.

Rachel Wright

I have been going here for a couple of years. Every time that I go in the atmosphere is friendly and the work is great. Leonard makes my ideas come together and work. I had previous tattoos that I wanted added to and not only did he tell me he could (other artists in the area said it couldn't be done) but he exceeded my expectations. I have and will continue to recommend this shop to anyone and everyone. The shop is always clean and is family friendly with things for kids to draw with or to watch movies. I will never go anywhere else.

Katie Applehans

THE BEST SHOP! We went to several shops in the area and this one by far was the most clean, most friendly and most talented. I was impressed with the friendly and inviting atmosphere and they were Johnny on the spot with my ideas and drafting up a tattoo. I got work done by Leonard that same day and am more then pleased. This was a great experience and I look forward to going back soon. I am getting alot of compliments on my tattoo and telling everyone where I got it!

HazelStar666

Completely and utterly rude. I tried to call and make an appointment and they refused and told me to come in. When I did I was completely ignored until I was tired of waiting and I left. Would never recommend.

emily pontius

I always have the best time when I'm in the shop getting tattooed. It's such a great and friendly environment. All of the artist are nice and outgoing even if you just go there to see one specific artist. They all do great work but my personal go to is Leonard. The best expiernce I have ever had at a tattoo was at Ink. So I would HIGHLY recommend going there to get a snazzy tattoo!

Ariana Barton

Came in for one of my first tattoos a few years ago. Eric has kept me coming back. Fun environment, friendly people. Always a good experience and I love every single piece I have walked out of there with, all at reasonable prices.

Michael P

I'd recommend ink tattoo to anyone,m they are nothing but professional. By far the best artists and place I've had tattoos inked on me. All future tats will be done only at inked tattoo. Love their art work.

Jennene Chippas

Eric Bell is one of the most professional, talented tattoo artist I've ever had the pleasure to get work done. He made a piece I really wanted from the internet authentic and unique. The tattoo shop should pride themselves on being extremely clean. Almost seems like Eric Bell was preparing for surgery. I had three total tattoos by Eric and my husband had a big piece done by him and we will most definitely be back!

Desiree Myhre

I've been to Ink for my last 3 tattoos to see Leonard, and will continue going back for more! Love the shop and the people, and Leonard is absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommended!!

Bryanna Kelley

Josh D. Is hands down the best artist to go too in Colorado. His done all my pieces and there hasn’t been one person asking who has done it, where I got it. Always stopping and looking. His prices are amazing for the work he does, and he will just sit and talk to you the entire time really making it a comfortable experience.

Heather Hail

I drove from oklahoma to get a piece finished and start a new one! Awesome experience. Clean shop, and great artists.

Snow 451

Only place I'll get any pieces done

Jerod Slivka

Leonard and the rest of the guys there are honestly the best in the biz! They put heart into their work and it shows! I wouldn't go anywhere else for a tattoo in Denver, unless you want trash on your body!!

Samantha Adams

I have had a great experience every time I've been here and I love my art! I've also recommended others going and they too have had an excellent experience! Great shop, clean, comfortable atmosphere! I will defintely be back!

Damisha Edwards

By far the best shop around! Eric, Josh and Leonard all do amazing work! Went in without an appointment and we were treated like royalty, I would definitely recommend this shop! Thanks guys!

Sacha Young

Four of us went to get teal butterfly tattoos for cervical cancer due to one of our party being terminal with Stage IV. Leonard you treated my friend with the utmost patience, respect, empathy, and care possible and enabled her to complete the tattoo process in comfort and with dignity. Your artwork is outstanding but you the man are even more outstanding. I believe you have the gift of healing. Thank you for supporting a very special time for us and nurturing us throughout. The laughs were great too! Leonard this is a Maori proverb I'd like to share with you. "Ui mai koe ki ahau he aha te mea nui o te ao Maku e ki atu he tangata, he tangata, he tangata!" "Ask me, what is the greatest thing in the world, I will reply, It is people, it is people, it is people!" Be blessed Leonard and thank you xx

Diego Madrid

I got my first tattoo here and I absolutely loved it! Great artist and very fun to talk to, highly recommend them to anyone!

Olivia Bannister

Love this place! All the artists are super talented. Eric is amazing and always delivers the crazy ideas in my head. Highly recommend to everyone. You get what you pay for.

TRAVIS Penna

I have had many good tattoos done in my life, but this shop has been my best expirience yet. The owners treat their clients like friends and not just a canvas.

Lesli Gosselin

Started going to INK when I was 16 (26 now) (parent consent) Eric is probably the nicest shop owner I've ever met. The shop itself is awesome, clean and friendly. I've gotten 90% of my tattoos from this shop and 1 piercing. I will continue to go to Ink and Leonard (best tattoo artist out there) for all my needs. Best shop in Aurora ❤️

jeffrey howard

Got a great tattoo at a reasonable price. On top of getting some amazing work I had a real good conversation with my artist Leonard. It is a very freindly inviting environment as well. I definitely will be going back for more work.

Samantha Nielsen

Love love looovveee this place! Eric Bell is my go-to guy for all my ink, his style and super awesome personality make the process easy and everything comes out looking and healing great. Everyone there is super friendly and you can tell they do what they LOVE and LOVE what they do! I recommend Workhorse to everyone who asks because it’s literally that great!!!

Madeline Folsom

I've known Eric for 15+ years and I can't tell you how great he is! His work is great! He cares for each of his clients making sure they are comfortable from beginning to end. He is a true professional.

virgil ghant

Leonard did a portrait of my beloved pit that died from bone cancer, i wouldnt have had anyone else do the job and he knocked it out the park, 100% on all levels , if i lived closer id have alot more work by him!!

King Z

Workhorse is a phenomenal place to get your imagination going! Eric Bell is my artist and he has provided me with nothing but the best quality work. Friendly, outgoing, and honest. He takes your ideas and gives them a little twist and every time I’ve loved the idea! He gets to know his clients, which is the greatest thing about him and workhorse overall. Josh and Leonard are outstandinging artists as well! Great atmosphere and a good way to cheer up your day because all of them are funny as hell! I’ve been going over a year there because I know I will get high quality Ink. 12/10 recommend 110%! Can’t wait to go again! - Jason

Veronica Ashford

Been getting my tats here since I was 18 now 26. Not a single one of my tattoos average. And all healed amazingly! All the Artists are amazing some I even consider family. The environment is always laid back and there's plenty of humor to go around, i always enjoy my time spent here I even go just to say hi!

Sarah D.

Three friends and I came to Leonard to get matching teal butterflies to honor our sisterhood and love for each other. One of our group has stage IV cervical cancer. Leonard was so kind and compassionate with her. He did everything he could to help her be comfortable, and he took his time with her tattoo so her anxiety never got out of control. Leonard was able to put her at ease quickly and talk her through her reactions to the process. Three of us were first-timers, and Leonard was amazing with each of us. We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Leonard. He was wonderful every step of the way! I'm definitely coming back, and I think you should go to him too.

Kristina Trujillo

I can't say enough wonderful things about Leonard. Leonard made me feel really wonderful about the cause behind the tattoos my friends and I got yesterday. I have Stage IV terminal cervical cancer so these tattoos hold very special meaning for us all. Leonard was very understanding, warm, patient, and concerned about my comfort and anxiety level. I couldn't have asked for a better first time tattooing experience. Thank you Leonard for making this special time even more special.

Bj Brown

Leonard Martinez is the man

Daniel Gustafson

Awesome place to get a tattoo. Leonard is awesome, you give him an idea of what you want and he will draw it up in minutes. This is the only place I will get my work done at.

Jasmine Townsend

I absolutely love INK tattoo! Josh Deeds has done all of my work! He is an incredible artist and very great with customer service. Everyone at the shop shows me mad love when I come. Leonard is going to be doing a couple of portraits for me. I wouldn't recommend any other place, other than INK tattoo! Such great artist!

Rebecca Best

Absolutely amazing shop and artists. I love the work I've had done by Leonard and get compliments on it all the time. Shop is clean and employees are friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone wanting quality ink.

bunni crawford

Have had a cover up and a custom done by Josh. Clean, professional, patient, (I am a wimpy). Highly recommend!

Hallie Linnebur

I always search for the best tattoo artist and stick with them. Eric is by far the best I have ever found. Always makes great conversation to keep your mind busy. Fantastic artist and has a way with executing any idea I bring to him. This shop is wonderful!

Micah Mondragon

The guys at Ink Tattoo are the best in the business. I've had a full sleeve, and an entire chest piece done with Josh, and he has become a good friend of mine in the process. The whole staff are experts in their field, absolutely reasonably priced, and I have and will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone! You bring them your ideas, and they'll create an artistic vision, and make that vision a reality. Again, can't praise this shop enough.

Janelle Engelbrecht

I absolutely love getting my tattoos done at Ink tattoo. Everyone is always so friendly and funny, we always have a good time! Not only is it a great experience, their work is so amazing! Leonard has done all of my tattoos and I wouldn't ever go to anyone else! My sisters and my friends go to him as well and everyone is always SO impressed. You can tell the guys are extremely passionate about what they do and it shows in their art!

Gabrielle Stinson

I’ve been going here for a long time and every time the experience is great. Eric has always been great helping me incorporate my ideas even if I’m not sure what I want. I’ve recommended several friends to go see him and will always tell them to see Eric, but everyone there is friendly and talented. Don’t let the location fool you, The shop is clean and kept up very well (always important with needles!). I won’t go anywhere else.

Justin Hanson

I gotta say hands down josh is the best artist I have ever delt with. He's honest,caring, and has a way of making you feel comfortable. The shop is always clean and best of all they never try to rip you off on the price of the art work. I would definitely recommend going to their shop in a heartbeat!

Madison Bartelmey

Still my favorite tattoo. I won't go anywhere else for a very long time!

Trista Alberts

Had a small tattoo done in October, the letter O is not even close to being symmetrical and is not filled in fully. Went back to have it touched up, sent me away because the guy who did it wasn't in. I didn't want the guy who did it originally to touch it up anyways because he was the one who messed it up in the first place.. would have taken five minutes to fix.

Joe Thompson

I've been getting tattoos for 18 years and this I by far my favorite shop to go to. I have recommended it to many people And will continue to

Stephanie Farman

I lived in Colorado for 5 years. My best friend recommended Ink Tattoo when I was looking for a tattoo artist. Leonard did mine and they were amazing. He made sure that each one was placed in the best spot to highlight the art. When I came in to finally get my half-sleeve, I was open to ideas. Leonard and Josh sat and brainstormed with me until we came up with an awesome design. I get so many compliments. Over the time I lived there, I got 5 tattoos. Leonard did 4 of them and his apprentice did one. All at the same shop. The first time I'd gone back to the same shop for multiple tattoos. The experience was that good. I also got a few piercings. I'm really happy with them as well. I have since moved to another state and really miss all of the guys. I was never just a payment to them. It's like a family. And if I get to go back to visit, you can bet that I'll be back in the chair again. It's hard to find a new tattoo place that has more professional, talented, and great guys with great service than this one.

Ben Perez

Great work

Michelle Davis

Love love love these guys!! I won't go anywhere else. I get so many compliments on my work. Clean, professional, and personal. Top notch!! Thanks, Leonard!! You're amazing!! Got my taxes back. Hope to see you soon.

Jacob Archer

My whole family goes here, the whole crew is extremely talented and they are super family friendly. It was where I got my first tattoo, and where my little brother got his, and my parents and older sister both go here.

Sarah Albright

Leonard is the absolute best!! He has been my tattoo artist for the last several years and has done many pieces on me. His shop is clean and comfortable as well as is family friendly. They also have a great area for my son to draw and watch TV while I have my session. Workhorse tattoo is the only place I trust and I reccomend them to all my friends!!

Ariana Hoyt

Leonard is an incredible artist. I had my first tattoo of my daughters name done by him 5 years ago and the quality of his work is amazing. Since then I have received 3 larger tattoos from him, on of which is a cover up in progress! Every tattoo he has done for me has proven how great of an artist he truly is! I will continue to come to Leonard and only him! I trust his judgement, if he doesn't like something on a drawing or idea I present him, he lets me know and gives me a different idea. Not only is he a great artist, the environment of WTC is amazing!

RileyUSMC05

GREAT Leonard did my first tattoo over 18 years ago and he is the only one allowed to touch the ink on my body... Would not trust another! Class act, serious artist! Thank you bud and I am semper fidelis to you

Antonio Aguilar

Very rude and unprofessional.

Chris White

I highly recommend this place. I could not be happier with the work. Clean, professional and a great atmosphere. Josh did a great job!! I can't wait for the next one!

Jordan Neill

Great place. I get all my work done here.

Came here to get a tattoo with my brother, my tattoo artist Eric was very friendly and professional and did an awesome job on my tattoo. The prices are very reasonable and the artists know what they are doing.

kevin Syrstad

I have had nothing but great experiences since I have gone. I have gotten an amazing back tattoo piece and have a sleeve in progress. You bring the idea they make it happen.

Ramiro Mier

Been going here for years and nothing but the best service and professionalism. Leonard is hands down the best in town. But all do great work.

Amanda Marosy

I had an amazing experience at this shop. Especially with Josh. The shop was clean, the staff was professional and the art was beautiful. Josh worked with me ahead of time to design my work, was patient during the process and even listened to me talk for two hours straight during the experience to keep me calm. He is passionate about his craft and I will never go to another shop again.

adam cosgrove

There's no where else I'd go for ink. Been going for 9 years so far. Always a good laugh and welcoming atmosphere.

Drunken Tennos

I have been going here for years. I've had little-E do several of my tattoos and he was nothing but professional. If your nervous or scared I highly suggest this place.they will engage in conversation to distract you and some of the stories I heard were a great distraction and kept my mind busy the whole time. They are amazing. I even brought my daughter and the artist turned on a kid show for her while I got ink. And finally the art. The peices I have received there were amazing. They took my idea and made it into beautiful artwork. The peices have held up great through the years. And the variety of art styles they can do will make sure you get your peices the exact way you want it. Much love for this shop if I could do 6 stars out of 5 I would

Karlee Wamsley

Got my tattoo done today with my husband. Absolutely love my new ink. All the staff is amazing and so much fun, laughed way to much ;-) Leonard did such a great job and listened to what I wanted! Highly recommended this shop to anyone..

Arnell Dunlap

Coo place

Brad Smith

I have been to this shop on many occasions and have had nothing but the best service. The staff is friendly, the shop is clean and they take their love of tattooing very seriously. I've never been forced out or rushed with my appointments even if someone has an appointment following mine. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get quality work done.

Jackie Landry

I have been going to this shop for years now and I am very happy with everything I have gotten done there. Very friendly and professional staff with every aspect focused on the art. Will definitely be coming back hear for more tattoos in the future.
