Erik Dennis

With over 20 years of professional tattooing experience, Erik has worked in respected studios across the country, including Think Tank South, before opening Adorned Tattoo Collective in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Outside of the studio, he’s a dedicated family man who values balance, connection, and bringing that same grounded energy into his work.

Known for clean, intentional tattoo work and a versatile approach, Erik works across a range of styles with a focus on color tattoos, neo-traditional tattooing, lettering tattoos, ornamental tattoos, blackout tattoos, and cover-up tattoos.

He is currently accepting new clients in Highlands Ranch and the greater Denver area for projects of all sizes, from smaller custom pieces to large-scale, multi-session work.
