Calico Queen Tattoo

Candice Bradley has spent fifteen years shaping skin in Crested Butte, turning the Calico Queen Tattoo studio into a destination for both scheduled art and spontaneous ink. Her portfolio spans Neo-Traditional, American Traditional, Black and Gray, and nature styles, allowing her to craft custom pieces that fit each client’s vision. Walk-in tattoos are always welcome, while appointments require an email request and a deposit to secure your spot. Beyond the needle, we offer comprehensive body piercing services available via walk-in on most Saturdays. The menu covers everything from standard earlobes and cartilage to advanced septum, bridge, industrial, and genital piercings. We use implant-grade jewelry for initial piercings, with prices starting around $28 per piece, and handle all jewelry installation to ensure proper sizing. Surface piercings are not offered, but anatomy-dependent discretion ensures every placement is sound. Candice also travels for custom work and tattoo conventions, bringing her expertise beyond the local mountains. Bold traditional designs and delicate nature pieces alike find a welcoming space in our studio. We accept credit cards and offer wheelchair accessibility with available parking, making it easy to visit us in Crested Butte.
