After trying to find a consistent and talented artist dedicated to their craft over the last 5 years I’ve been in the Denver Metro area, I am incredibly grateful to have found Rob here at Modern Ink. Back in 2024, I first met Rob whenever he was finishing up his apprenticeship and am still a current client—his professionalism and eagerness to grow in his career is unmatched. Having his first piece he did for me two years ago (IT-inspired red balloon) next to the most recent piece he completed a few weeks ago (custom Bulbasaur) right next to each other on the same leg goes to show how he has shifted into his true calling and art style. As a previous tattoo apprentice myself turned licensed bodyworker, Rob’s attention to detail from start-to-finish with cleanliness, empathy towards needing breaks to move around or get food/water and being fully present to how the skin reacts in real time and educating the client on aftercare instructions has made each experience getting tattooed very comfortable. I have incredibly sensitive skin and he has been able to pinpoint whenever certain areas are irritated and knows the limit of when to fully let the tattoo heal before booking out a follow-up appointment for free touch ups or progressing further in the piece. I have both of my arm sleeves done and multiple other big colorful pieces from other artists both from Colorado and Texas. Rob has been the most knowledgeable about aftercare instructions tailored to your skin type and encourages communication throughout and after the healing process of every piece to ensure the best results for longevity of the tattoo and happiness of the client with the healed pieces. All in all, if you are looking for a trip down memory lane with custom cartoon pieces, matching set of tattoos with loved ones or anything far and in between, come check out Rob for your next tattoo at Modern Ink!
