I’ve been to quite a few tattoo shops in my life and I’ve got to say this place is top of my list. I feel like I have finally found my go-to shop and go-to artist. Martin, the owner, was super kind, which hey if you’ve been to other tattoo shops you know this is not always a common quality for a shop owner. My artist, Nick McQueen, was not only super detailed, reasonably priced and thorough in his work, he was also very kind and understanding. Kindness goes a LONG way in tattoo shops so THANK YOU guys for being awesome. I will definitely be back!!

Had a nose ring issue that ended up taking 15 minutes at another store. Summit told me to make an appointment for several hours later and they would see if they could help. (I dropped by first, there was one person in the store and 3 employees, this call was to cancel the appointment after I walked in a much busier business who helped me right away)

Just took my granddaughter for multiple piercings in her ears. Aimee was great! Easy Peasy! Consult for my next tat!! Cant wait.

LOVE THIS SHOP!! Nick, Joe and Aimee are Talented tattoo artists! They are professional, friendly and make you feel comfortable while getting tattooed. The shop is CLEAN and QUALIFIED!

Awesome shop with a great staff. A++++

Always a great experience here. Nick provides amazing work and is very thorough! I will keep coming back for my tattoos !

I love this place and Nick is awesome

Joe did another amazing tattoo!!!

Awesome shop! Great artists!

Nick McQueen is an amazing tattoo artist. I have gone to him for many of my projects and couldnt be more happyI recently went to Joe Blackstone and he is awesome as well! Hes down to earth and easy to talk to

I got my tongue peirced here a while back, and it was honestly the best experience. The people were very kind, answered all the questions I had, and gave me great information. I have actually recommended this place to many of my friends.

Awesome place! Always clean and the artist are very friendly and very very good at what they do!

Great shop, great people, excellent tattooing at a fair price.

Nick McQueen does beautiful work😍 Always getting compliments on these two pieces.

Nick was great!

Just realized Ive never left a review here and I have to fix that. Summit is THE best in Castle Rock. All but one of my tattoos have been done by the artists here, and my husbands as well. Amazing artists, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and great pricing.

Summit is the only tattoo shop I will ever visit! Every artist here is extremely talented, and is worth every penny.

I LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE!!! THE STAFF ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! FRIENDLY! WORTH EVERY MINUTE! THEY ALWAYS LAUGH AND JOKE AND JUST HAVE AN ALL AROUND GREAT TIME THERE! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP! THE ART IS BEAUTIFUL! I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS PLACE! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Awesome shop, they fit us in last minute for a couple of small tattoos that were a spur of the moment decision. Nick was super professional, a joy to talk to, and did exceptional work.

I go to Joe for my tattoos but both Cici and Nick are amazing artists as well. They all take time to figure out exactly what you want for your tattoo and are just great people to hang around. Its a very clean place and all of their needles and equipment are sanitized and cleaned properly. They are very professional and always welcoming into the shop. One of the best tattoo shops Ive been to!! Highly recommend!!

Dont listen to any of these 1 star reviews. Ive seen plenty of work come out of that shop and have also gotten work done there myself. EVERY artist is very talented and they all do awesome work. And the owner, one of the nicest guys I think Ive ever met! Definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again and again

I took my daughter in on her 18th birthday for her first tattoo and they we all so awesome to work with. Clean. Professional. Friendly. Awesome Artists. I highly recommend. Joe Blackstone is one heck of an artist. Thanks for the great experience!!!!

Summit Tattoo is the best! Joe did my tattoo for and I couldnt be happier. His work is phenomenal and so is the rest of the shops work! They are really nice and enjoyable to hangout with while youre being tattooed. Highly, recommend Summit!

Nick is an amazing artist I recommend him and every artist in the shop to everyone I can. All incredibly professional, great pricing, and the best part? They make it an awesome experience! You can get a tattoo anywhere, but if you want the best quality along with some great memories, this is your new go to place! Ask for Nick next time you’re in!

Stopped in to have a few piercings looked at that were done at other piercing shops due to concerns about barbells being too short and a nose ring becoming embedded. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped loosen the nose ring and offered advice on piercing aftercare in a professional manner and were all very respectful. Will go back in the future for other piercings!

Nick is awesome. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend

First off I want to say that Joe Blackstone was a true professional. He did a great job with the crappy picture I emailed him and I really love the tattoo he gave me. Joe took the time to listen and put up with all my changes until I felt comfortable with the finished product. I highly recommend him and anyone at Summit Tattoo. I would not only say they are the best in Castle Rock but probably one of the best in the state.

Amazing work and friendly people!! My husband and I were in town from Kansas for a little more then 24 hours. We wanted to get tattoos on a wimb and they got us in before we had to head back. We LOVE our tattoos that Nick drew up and will for sure be back!

Just stopped in, 2 of us got our ears pierced. Clean friendly and knowledgeable. The artists for tattoos have crazy talent go look through their books.

I got a small piece done in October by Joseph and he did a good job overall. The color faded quickly and already needs touched up, but has healed up just fine.However, I made an appointment with Nick two days later for a simple septum and was immediately disappointed. The whole process felt rushed, probably because it was later in the evening. It was pierced too low and hurting way more than it should have. Two weeks later, I ended up going to Phantom 8 in Englewood (which was recommended to me by an employee at Summit) and they confirmed that it was pierced in the thickest part of the cartilage, and that’s what was causing the pain. So I took it out, let it close up, and got the proper part of my septum pierced out there.I’ll stick to the more versatile shops closer to Denver.

Joe was the best tattoo guy ever. I was a little nervous for my first tattoo and got it in a bit of a painful place. Joe was super patient and his dad kept me extremely distracted from the pain. My tattoo had a lot of sentimental meaning and it turned out amazing. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Best place to get inked up! Nick is an amazing artist

I had my upper arm done from shoulder to elbow. Its a tribal Piece meaning family, lifes journeys etc so it cant be anything but perfect.Marty hand drew everything exactly the way it should be, I couldnt of been more happy with his work. His line work is the best Ive seen in my 5 years in the states. If you want a tattoo, I recommend Summit Tattoo and Piercings.A clean environment, great conversation, affordable prices, and amazing artistry from all the staff, what more do you need.Thank you Summit Tattoo, I will never forget my experience and wear my tattoo with pride.

I took my daughter in for her first tattoo. The staff was extremely attentive and really seemed focused on letting my her know what to expect and how the tattoo process would go. The tattoo artist adjusted my daughters drawing so it would fit in the space she wanted. Super pleased with our experience and am looking forward to getting a full sleeve for myself in the near future. Thanks again Summit, Patti

Absolutely the best! Traveled from a far, totally worth it! personable, artistic, honest and above all talented!! Thanks Sean!!

WORST TATTOO SHOP IN COLORADO!!!Save your money and go to a shop that actually has talent, let alone good employees and owners.I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

WHAT A GREAT SHOP!!! I have been tattooed by two artists here and would recomend any of them to do a great job on any tattoo. Not only am I a happy customer with some exceptional ink, I have a very fun time if I am getting worked on, or just stopping in to say hi. Thank you guys!

Nick McQueen has been my familys tattoo artist and piercer for 8 years and we wont go to anyone else. Summit Tattoo is the best shop around and more than worth the trip to Castle Rock every time.

Dylan is a great piercer. Was quick and there was little to no pain. Definitely recommend.

I was very pleased with the cleanliness of this shop. The stuff was so pleasant. I will definitely be back for more ink. Patti

These people do not care about their customers or their time. You can make an appointment but they can choose not to honor it. Also I have gotten 2 tats from them ( very basic ones,) and I have had to go back acouple of times for each one for touch ups. The people there will even tell you that it wasnt their work ( until you pull out a receipt to remind them) They never remember you... Move on to another shop they are not worth your time or money.

This shop is a hidden gem!The artists there put out some really amazing work.CiCi is my artist, and shes great! She is gentle, attentive, and very sweet. She has been my tattoo artist for 2 years now and I can not go anywhere without more than one person complimenting my half-sleeve.CiCi also sells her own personal art which I think is absolutely gorgeous.I really love that the shop has a female artist. More shops need them!The shop itself has a great vibe to it. Everyone there seems to get along great. The shop is always clean and so is their bathroom.They can get busy so its always important to call ahead or make an appointment!To the people: Always remember to respect the artists. This is how they make a living. If you are rude or mean to them, do you really expect them to kiss your arse? I would hope not.Happy tattooing!

The owner was definitely drugged out of his mind, my tattoo artist Cici was a Total crazy B##$. Not Only did she screw up my tattoo beyond fixing but she was also a crazy lunatic. They did absolutely nothing to fix the situation not did they even try. They just said Oh well, sometimes they dont turn out how they should, goodbye and they practically pushed me out the door.I would never recommend this place. And if your smart do not even attempt to go into that place. Go somewhere else where they will treat you with respect and customer service let alone a non drugged out place!

Another great tattoo. Thanks Nick!

Love this place! Great artists! Recommend them to all my friends.

A little pricey but very good design ideas and graphics

I had a pleasant visit. :) I was a walk in guest for a septum piercing, I was informed that the piercer was out getting lunch, but waiting wasnt a problem because I had to fill out paperwork anyways. Nick did my piercing; he was really nice, clean and friendly. The price was about 45 with jewelry. And they told me if anything happens to it, I can come back and get repierced for free. So thats pretty dang sweet.My only complaint is that the piercing was a little low in my nose, a slightly weird placement.Edit- decided to take down a star simply for the placement of the septum. It was placed too low and healed very painfully. Getting it done again properly realised how bad the placement made it.

I am a huge fan of the two pieces that Joe has done for me, and I look forward to coming back to him with more plans. Hes a true artist and a genuinely good person -- Im very thankful to have found him!

Joe did a wonderful job on my arm tattoo! I highly recommend this shop!!

Cici is a wonderful artist. She has been my tattoo artist for a couple years now and I couldnt be happier with her work. It is always great to have a connection with your artist and she by far has that down! Whenever I want a tattoo I instantly get in contact with her! Here is to many more tattoos done by cici!

My boyfriend and I have spent the last few weekends at Summit getting some work done and I couldnt be happier with the artist, Cici, the atmosphere, the owner Marty and the cleanliness. All of the employees are very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Ive gotten three tattoos over the last few months that I am very pleased with. My boyfriend has also gotten quite a few, including some custom designs and a very complicated cover up, all from Camillia. All of the artists seem to have great resumes and Ive been impressed with the work that Ive seen them do while Ive been in there. I have an appointment with the shops piercing specialist, Nick, coming up and am super excited. I would recommend the shop to anyone in the area, I have spent many hours there as of late and dont have any complaints. Thank you guys for providing such a great experience.

I highly recommend all of the artists at this shop as I will be tattooed by them all. For now, I have only been tattooed by Nick and am very happy with the portrait he did on me, Thank you Summit Tattoo!!

Nick did an awesome job on my tattoo. It was my first time getting a tattoo and he made the experience very comfortable and reassuring!

I am in love with my tattoo. My tattoo definitely cost more than what the original quote but well worth every cent. Cici did an amazing job not only did she meet my needs for a unique tattoo but it also covered my very scarred and maimed original tattoo. Staff has been nothing but helpful and pleasent. I would recommend her anyday. My tattoo did take very long, again it was colored and shaded to high standards (wouldnt you want an artist to take the time to make sure its perfect and to a high quality standard?)

Horrible experience with piercings. My daughter and I both got our tragus done, and it was done crooked. So had to get it taken out for the infection to heal and went to bonaroo. Then to top it off, my daughters 3rd was to close to edge and ripped right off her ear. I would suggest going to Bonaroo. Very clean, very very experienced and professional.

Marty just started a big biomechanical tattoo on me and I could not be more happy with it! Thanks for the great time and bad ass work bro! Still Lookin GREAT!

Nick McQueen is the best artist whose ever touched thus canvas ! His work is stunning & I get compliments from everyone ! I moved to Washington, but make sure when I come to are family I book an appointment with him ! #bestincolorado !! Love my ink!!

Such an amazing place to get my fort tattoo- Cici is an amazing artist and did a great job helping me feel comfortable and confident

These guys are talented Id recommend them

Cici is the worst tattoo artist I know. She completely messed up my tattoo and I had to go to another artist to have it fixed. She cannot even do the simplest of tattoos.Do Not Go Here, you will regret it just like I did. I wish I knew how poorly run this place was Before I decided to put something permanent on my body.The owner did absolutely nothing to fix the issue and I guarantee he was on something when I tried talking to him about my tattoo.Go somewhere else to get a tattoo done, tattoos last forever and you will regret your time here.

Best Tattoo shop ever! Thank you for the great times and great tattoos guys!

Great tattoo shop.

Best tattoo place iv ever been at. owner is the best

CiCi is hands down one of the most talented artists out there! She has done quite a bit of work on me, and I get more compliments on the work she has done, than the work I have had done elsewhere. She is professional, hard working and really strives to please her customer! The shop itself is clean and the other artists that work there are just as professional and talented as she is!CiCi does a lot of custom work, and can design most anything that you are looking for! Her work is original and amazing! If you are wanting to get quality work done, I cant recommend Summit Tattoo and CiCi enough!My whole family has had work done by CiCi now, and we wont go anywhere else for our tattoos!

I have been going to summit since I was 18 Ive never had better work done anywhere else they are extremely friendly and relaxed I had a full half sleeve done by cici and Ive never been happier with a tattoo in my life my opinion is if youre ever looking to get a tattoo in the castle rock area you have to hit them up

Best shop ever!

Best lowkey shop in denver area no questions asked. Started going when CiCi was an apprentice and never looked back.They know their trade amd you cant ask for a better expieience. You bring in a sketch and ask how much, they give you an answer in about 20 seconds...they dont just quote you the hour price. If you know anything at all about tattoos, that alone says alot about their expieience and knowledge.

Hands down one of the best tattoo parolors I have been into. Ive had the pleasure to have multiple tattoos done by ci ci all of which I couldnt be more pleased with. She was able to pull off a cover up on one of my older tattoos that I thought was beyond repair making it look crisp and like something Im proud to have on my body for the rest of my life. I have also been lucky enough to have some of her coustom art work tattooed on me and if you havent seen what she can wip up you need to take a look at her portfolio. Not only is summit a clean and professional environment they have great artist working there. Between Cici Joe Nick and Marty you cant find a better place to go. Thanks guys for letting us spend way to much time at the shop and thanks cici for all the hard work and amazing tattoos I cant wait to keep coming back

Horrible. Dont waste your time with CICI or the Owner. Worst Tattoo shop in Denver.

Martin is great, we really yuk it up, love this place!

Absolutely Terrible! This company is run extremely un professional. The owner is extremely rude. DO NOT GO HERE! Worst tattoo place ever.

Very nice people.

Worst art work ive seen...on every one.

Great work, good people

Staff is the rudest and unorganized place I have ever been too!

Awesome place
