Hey, I’m Matt. I’ve been tattooing for 13 years now and I’m originally from Queens, NY. Growing up in such a diverse and culturally rich place really shaped the way I approach art. After years of honing my skills, I made my way to Denver, where I now own the city’s only anime tattoo shop.

I specialize in vibrant, detailed tattoos that mix traditional techniques with the unique style of anime. Whether you want something bold or a more subtle design that nods to your favorite series, I’ve got you covered. I’m all about making each piece feel personal and special.

My shop isn’t just about tattoos; it’s a space where anime lovers and tattoo fans come together. I want every client to leave with something they’re excited to wear for life, and I’m committed to making that happen through creativity, precision, and great customer service. 

If you’ve got an idea you want to bring to life, let’s make it happen! I’m all about turning your vision into something you’ll love forever.

What’s up, homies! I’m Miguel. Dragon Ball and mechs are my main jam, but I’m all about RPGs, Star Wars, and cartoons in any shape or form. Tattooing, anime, comic books, gaming, and cyberpunk art are what I live for. I’m also looking to dive more into neo-traditional Japanese styles too. Let’s get you tattooed—it’s gonna be a vibe for sure!​

Hey, I’m Diz! I’ve been tattooing professionally for almost 3 years, but I’ve been a manga and anime fan for life! Some of my faves include JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Ranma 1/2, Nana, Studio Ghibli films, and of course Dragon Ball, among many others. Growing up, I actually dreamed of becoming a cel animator, so I absolutely love bringing those iconic characters we all grew up with to life in my tattoos. There’s something really special about giving someone a permanent piece of the things they love—it fills my weeb heart with so much joy!

When I’m not tattooing, I’m a proud mom of two amazing daughters. I also enjoy playing video games, cosplaying, going to conventions, painting, and drinking tea while reading in bed! I’m all about tattooing manga panels, neo-tribal designs, and comic book/video game characters (especially cute stuff like Sanrio and Kirby!). But I also love challenging myself and pushing my skills to grow as an artist.

I'm Hector! I’ve been tattooing for 6 years, starting back in 2018 right out of my room. It all began with giving free tattoos at social events in basements and practicing on friends who let me hone my craft. Fast forward to today, and I’m still here, blessed to be creating art that not only fuels my passion but supports my family and two kids.

My style is a blend of influences from both sides of my family. On one side, I was introduced to graffiti and lettering, which led me to start tagging and getting my name out there. On the other side, I grew up with a love for anime, fantasy, and sci-fi movies and shows. I merged the bold color combinations I learned from graffiti with the anime and character styles I’ve loved since I was a kid. This unique combination allows me to create designs you won’t find anywhere else.

I’m Ember! I started as an apprentice and am now an artist here at Illustrative Studios. I’m really into American traditional and neo-traditional tattoos—they’re my vibe! When I’m not tattooing, you can find me painting, hitting up raves, catching live music, or enjoying music festivals. Some of my favorite artists are Sublime, Svdden Death, Daily Bread, and Of The Trees. Can’t wait to work with you and bring your next tattoo idea to life!

Hey there! My name is Quinten Lee, I’m 30 years old, and I’ve been tattooing for six years now. Over the years, I’ve honed in on a few styles that really speak to me, and my main focus is on lettering, Japanese art, and anime artwork. There’s something about the precision and flow of lettering that I love, and combining that with the bold, vibrant nature of Japanese art and the dynamic energy of anime really lets me express myself in my work.

I feel incredibly lucky to be part of a team were we all share a passion for anime and Japanese-inspired art. If you’re looking to get some stunning Japanese tattoos, anime-inspired pieces, or even intricate calligraphy, I’m your guy! Whether it’s a full back piece, a sleeve, or a detailed script, I’m all about bringing your ideas to life with the highest level of detail and artistry.

If you're interested in working together or have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or the shop directly. I'd love to chat with you about your next tattoo!

I’m Ken The Girl! I’ve been tattooing professionally for over 9 years, and what I love most is seeing the look on my clients’ faces when they see their finished piece—it never gets old. I’m skilled in a wide range of styles, from photo realism to black and gray, color, new school, Japanese, Neo… you name it, I can do it. But my personal favorite is new school, especially because it’s perfect for bringing all our favorite nerdy characters and fun concepts to life.

When I’m not tattooing, you can find me catching up on my favorite shows, hitting the gym, or hanging out with my two goldfish. I’m also in grad school, working on my Master’s in Sustainability Sciences and aiming for a PhD. My goal is to use that knowledge to make a real difference in our communities. But don’t worry—tattooing will always be my passion, and I’ll be here to make your next tattoo dream a reality!

I’m Evan! I’m a tattoo artist with 7 years of experience, originally from Nebraska. I specialize in anime, neotraditional, and American traditional tattoos, and I’m comfortable working with both color and black and gray.

I’ve been drawing anime characters since I was a kid, starting with my own bootleg Dragon Ball Z comics that I’d make for friends. Outside of tattooing, I’m all about chess, video games, building Gunpla, and watching anime and movies. Some of my all-time favorite anime are Darling in the Franxx, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Aldnoah.Zero.

I love doing all kinds of tattoos, big or small, but my absolute favorite is creating large-scale, full-color epic anime scenes. Can’t wait to bring your ideas to life!
