Meet Don- If You Can Think It, He Can Ink It
Don Davis has been tattooing for over 34 years and opened Art In Motion Tattoos in 2004 with one goal — to create a shop where the artists love what they do, the clients feel at home, and every tattoo is custom, one-of-a-kind artwork.
Don believes that being a tattoo artist starts with being an artist first. Every artist at Art In Motion learned to master their craft with a pencil, brush, or other traditional art tools long before ever picking up a tattoo machine. That foundation is what makes this shop capable of doing any style you can dream up — and Don leads by example.
Tattoo Styles Don Excels In
Don’s known for his ability to master almost every tattoo style. His specialties include:
- Realism & Portrait Tattoos – jaw-dropping lifelike detail, from animals to people.
- Black & Gray Tattoos – timeless shading for a classic look.
- Full Color Tattoos – bold, vibrant ink that lasts.
- Traditional & Neo-Traditional – clean lines, rich colors, and timeless designs.
- Japanese Tattoos – koi fish, dragons, and more in stunning detail.
- Anime & New School Tattoos – bold characters and creative designs.
- Floral & Nature Tattoos – from delicate roses to full landscapes.
- Bio-Organic & Bio-Mechanical Tattoos – futuristic and otherworldly concepts.
- Watercolor & Surrealism – artistic and unconventional.
From sleeves and backpieces to small, meaningful tattoos, Don treats each piece with the same passion and precision.
What Inspires Don’s Work
Outside the shop, Don’s passions keep his creativity fueled. He’s a dedicated gym rat, an avid fisherman, and loves spending time outdoors. He’s also a skilled photographer, and his eye for composition, light, and detail translates directly into his tattoo work.
Whether he’s out on the water at sunrise, hiking Colorado’s mountain trails, or capturing the perfect photograph, those moments inspire the depth, realism, and bold natural imagery you see in his designs.
