About Art In Motion Tattoos
Where Creativity Meets Colorado Springs Vibes
Welcome to Art In Motion Tattoos, where art isn’t just on the walls — it’s in the air, on the skin, and in the stories we help you tell. We have been tattooing since 2004. Our owner and lead artist, Don Davis, started the shop with a clear goal. He wanted to create a place where every client feels welcome. He also aimed for every tattoo to be unique. Finally, he wanted every experience to be memorable.
Our Story
Don has been tattooing for over 34 years. He has built a team of skilled and friendly artists. They can handle any style you want. This includes delicate fine-line florals and bold full-color backpieces.
We’ve been proud to call Colorado Springs our home since the beginning. Over the years, we’ve tattooed many people — military members, college students, first-timers, collectors, and everyone else. Whether you want a special memorial tattoo, a quick walk-in design, or a custom sleeve you’ve dreamed of, we can help.
The Art in Our Motion
We believe tattoos are more than just ink — they’re wearable stories. Our artists take the time to listen, sketch, and collaborate so that every piece feels personal to you. No cookie-cutter flash-and-dash. No rushed work. Just custom designs you’ll love for life (and that your future self will still be proud to wear).
Our Shop Culture
We maintain a professional atmosphere where it matters. Our space is health department-approved, clean, and safe. However, we are not a “quiet, stuffy” tattoo shop. Expect music, laughter, and a friendly crew that treats you like part of the family. We’re serious about our craft, but we’re also serious about making sure you enjoy the process.

Posted on Matt WernerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love Fujiyama!Posted on Jeanie FLTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love this shop, I walked in with a friend who introduced me and they didn't require an appointment. They not only do great work and take amazing care of their clients, but they treat you like family. You can't go wrong getting inked here!Posted on Tiffany RodgersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don is absolutely amazing! I have been wanting to start a cover up for over a year and decided to walk in to Art of motion tattoo. I started talking to Don (the owner) and within an hour he was drawing up my tattoo. His work is absolutely insane and has over 30 years experience. He is now working on my second piece and now has a forever customer. Art of motion is awesome and I fully recommend walking in and giving them a try.Posted on Robert ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic shop. Very clean and professional. Igot my first (and more) tattoo with Shelley. She's a highly knowledgeable and talented artist. She guided me through design elements, making suggestions where needed for the tattoo to hold up and look great over time. I'm glad I researched many shops across the state and chose this one.Posted on Shy SotomayorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
