Your New Favorite Tattoo Shop

Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fiftieth, our tattoo shop is here to make the process chill, creative, and 100% you.
Instead of cookie-cutter flash-wall stuff (unless that’s your thing), we focus on custom work—because your story deserves something original.
Walk-ins are welcome when we’re available; however, your best bet is to call to set an appointment with one of our talented artists.

Why People Keep Coming Back

Private, clean rooms

No crowded tattoo shop vibes. You get your own space, your own artist, your own vibe.

Artists who give a damn

We’re real people who want you to leave with something you’re proud of.

Locally owned & artist-run

It’s not about us — it’s about bringing your ideas to life in the best way possible.

We actually listen

Nervous? Not sure what you want? Cool. Let’s talk through it.

At Art In Motion Tattoos, we specialize in transforming your ideas into custom tattoos that tell your story. Whether you’re drawn to bold black and gray, vibrant color work, fine-line detail, or lifelike portrait tattoos. Or something completely different, our experienced artists are here to deliver exceptional results. Step into our private, clean tattoo studio in Colorado Springs and let us bring your vision to life—with a piece of art you’ll be proud to show off forever.

Black & Gray Tattoos

Timeless contrast, smooth shading, zero clutter. From small icons to full sleeves, these pieces age clean and read from across the room.

Realism & Portrait Tattoos

Photo-level detail with balanced light and shadow. Faces, animals, objects—bring crisp references, and we’ll map a design that looks alive.

Color & Comic Book Tattoos

Bold inks, crisp line work, and dynamic panels that jump off your skin. We adapt your favorite heroes and scenes into clean, body-friendly art.

Traditional & Neo-Traditional

Bold lines, iconic shapes, classic themes. Neo-trad adds sculpted shading and richer color without losing that punch.

Japanese Tattoos

Flowing koi, dragons, peonies, and waves designed to move with your body. Strong storytelling, smart negative space, powerful shape.

Anime & New School Tattoos

Big energy and clean line weight with vivid color. We adapt panels into body-friendly layouts so characters pop at a glance.

Floral & Nature Tattoos

Botanicals with soft gradients and crisp edges. Wrapped to your form so the piece feels natural—and stays elegant.

Cover-Ups & Reworks

Out with the old, in with the better. We use contrast, shape, and value to hide or refresh past work so eyes go to the art—not the history.

How do I pick the right tattoo artist and style?

Choose an artist whose portfolio matches the style you want (realism, watercolor, anime, etc.). At Art In Motion, we encourage consultations so you link up with the right artist and design from the start.

What’s the difference between walk-in and booked appointments?

Walk-ins are first-come, first-served for smaller pieces. For more complex tattoos (sleeves, cover-ups, full colour), booking ahead ensures you get the artist, time, and design you’re after.

What should I bring or do before my tattoo session?

Eat a full meal, stay hydrated, wear comfortable clothes, and bring references of what you want. You’ll feel more relaxed, which helps the artist do their best work.

How long will my tattoo take, and is there a deposit?

Tattoos vary by size and detail. At Art In Motion, we ask for a $100 deposit to reserve time and materials—this ensures your spot is held and your design gets the attention it deserves.

What happens if I want a cover-up or rework of an existing tattoo?

Bring your current tattoo and open to ideas. Our artists specialise in cover-ups and reworks—whether you’re refreshing colour, hiding an old piece, or evolving a design into something new.

Quit Thinking About It and Schedule your next tattoo

If you’re ready, hit us up. If you’re almost ready, hit us up anyway. We’re down to answer questions, brainstorm your idea, or just get something started.
