About Us – 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’ve been putting ink to skin since 2004, when our owner and lead artist Don Davis opened the doors with one goal: to create a tattoo shop where every client feels welcome, every tattoo is custom, and every experience is unforgettable.
Our Story
Don has been tattooing for over 34 years, and along the way he’s built a team of skilled, down-to-earth artists who can handle any style you throw at them — from delicate fine-line florals to bold full-color backpieces.
We’ve been proud to call Colorado Springs home since day one, and over the years, we’ve tattooed just about everyone — military service members, college students, first-timers, collectors, and everyone in between. Whether you’re here for a meaningful memorial piece, a spontaneous walk-in design, or a full custom sleeve you’ve been dreaming about for years, we’ve got you covered.
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 keep things professional where it counts (health department-approved, clean, safe environment), but we’re not the “quiet, stuffy” tattoo shop type. 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 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.
