I am so happy with my new tattoos.

Good atmosphere and I do recommend people to go herePosted on Google Jamie KrakowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After an 18 month battle with a blood cancer and a bone marrow transplant, during which my family kept reminding me I was Wonder Woman, and now cancer free, I decided to get a tattoo to remind and inspire me. The red in the ribbon represents blood cancers and the green bone marrow transplants. Keith was amazing to work with, creating the exact image I hoped for, and was fantastic creating the tattoo. I felt very comfortable at MT Collective (I need to ensure the facility is super sanitary due to my medically compromised condition). Highly recommend!Posted on Google Kai MerrittTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great staff, very friendly. They bought me food for my appointment were all nicePosted on Google Gina PutnamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Momo Gunes is the best black and grey tattoo artist!!! I always have the best experiences when getting tattooed by him. He's meticulous in every aspect of his craft, from helping choose your design, placement, tattoo process, and making sure you're happy with the end result. Every tattoo I have from Momo is a work of art and I get compliments from all ages. I always look forward to my next appointment and will continue to be tattooed by him until I run out of free space!!!
“Melek’s new studio is beautiful, bright and amazing. Just got a touch up on a neon heart piece she did for me last year and couldn’t be happier. They don’t call her the ‘Neon Queen’ for nothing.”
Tattoo Client
MT Tattoo Collective is a contemporary tattoo and art collective in Denver, founded by internationally renowned artist Melek Taştekin.
This is not a traditional tattoo studio.
Here, art comes first.
Artists are equals.
Egos stay outside.
Every tattoo is approached as a personal collaboration — designed with intention, executed with precision, and created to last a lifetime.
Whether you’re collecting your first piece or expanding an existing body of work, you’ll experience tattooing as it should be: respectful, expressive, and deeply personal.
At MT Tattoo Collective, tattooing goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about storytelling, identity, and creative freedom. Our artists work across multiple styles, always respecting the individuality of each client and the integrity of the artwork.


Highly detailed, expressive realism that captures emotion, depth, and character with technical mastery.


Modern realism with bold contrast, light effects, and artistic reinterpretation.


Dynamic, story-driven designs inspired by animation, manga, and pop culture — reimagined as timeless tattoos.


Traditional foundations blended with modern composition, symbolism, and powerful visual storytelling.


Art-forward tattoos with painterly flow, strong composition, and vibrant color harmony.


Dark, expressive designs rooted in contrast, symbolism, and bold black composition.


Delicate single-needle work — minimalist botanicals, script, micro-realism, and precise detail.


Photorealism in grayscale — portraits, wildlife, and cinematic compositions in tonal depth.
