Part street shop, part museum
Denver City is a shop unlike any other street shop: antique machines, walls lined with flash, and a crew that shares the love of Denver's tattoo history.
The lineage
Taught by the hands that taught Denver
Nik Pew learned the trade from his mentor Greg Skibo, who was taught by Peter Tat-2. Three decades on, that line runs straight through the shop — an illustrative style rooted in traditional American and Japanese tattooing, with a love for motorcycles and hot rods carried in from Nik's upbringing around his father's paint work.
The walls
Flash from the '50s and further back
Browse troves of tattoo flash — designs from the '80s, '70s, '60s, '50s, and earlier, including work by legends Peter Tat-2, Wally Eagle, and Denver Don. Walk in with an open eye; the classics are on the wall for a reason, and the artists are always willing to refashion one.
The tattoos here are full of horsepower, and the walls are full of love.
See it in person
The walls are worth the trip.
Come browse the flash — no appointment, no pressure. Noon to 10PM, every day.
