A Fresh Chapter for Certified Tattoo Studios: Our New Website
Certified Tattoo Studios, Lakewood, CO
At Certified Tattoo Studios, we’ve always believed that evolution is part of the game. Whether it’s perfecting a shading technique, experimenting with a new style, or finding better ways to connect with our clients, we’re always pushing forward. That’s why we’re beyond excited to unveil our latest milestone: a brand-new website that’s as fresh, bold, and unique as the tattoos we ink every day.
This isn’t just a quick refresh or a cosmetic update—it’s a reflection of where we are as a studio and how far we’ve come. We’ve grown a lot over the years, and our online presence has had to keep pace. Today, we’re proud to say that Certified Tattoo Studios ranks among the top tattoo websites in North America. That’s no small feat in an industry as vibrant and competitive as ours, and we didn’t get here alone. A huge shoutout goes to our longtime partners at Rathcore Marketing, who’ve been with us every step of the way, shaping our digital identity with skill and care.
A Partnership Built on Trust
Our journey with Rathcore Marketing started over eight years ago. Back then, we were a growing studio with big dreams and a decent-but-not-amazing website. We knew we needed to stand out online, but we weren’t sure where to start. That’s when Rathcore stepped in, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer ever since. For more than eight years, they’ve handled 100% of our SEO—search engine optimization, for those who aren’t in the know—which is basically the magic that helps people find us when they Google “best tattoo shops near me” or “custom tattoos in North America.”
SEO isn’t glamorous, but it’s critical. It’s the behind-the-scenes work that’s turned us into a digital heavyweight in the tattoo world. Rathcore didn’t just set it and forget it, either. They’ve been hands-on, tweaking and refining our strategy as the internet—and our business—changed. When we started seeing crazy growth, they didn’t flinch. They kept our website running smoothly, maintained everything through the chaos, and made sure we stayed visible no matter how busy we got.
Keeping Up with the Times
One of the things we love most about working with Rathcore is how they keep us current. The online world moves fast—trends shift, tech evolves, and what worked a few years ago might look dated today. That’s why, every couple of years, Rathcore has built us a brand-new website from the ground up. Each one has been a step up, reflecting where we are as a studio and what our clients need. This latest site is no exception, and we’re pretty stoked about how it’s turned out.
Think of it like getting a new tattoo. You might love the one you got five years ago, but over time, your style changes, your story grows, and you’re ready for something that feels more “you” now. That’s what these website updates are like for us. Rathcore’s web design team has a knack for taking what we’re about—our vibe, our art, our connection with clients—and turning it into a digital space that feels authentic. This new site is sleek, easy to navigate, and packed with everything you’d want: artist portfolios, booking info, aftercare tips, and a gallery of our latest work. It’s not just a website—it’s a window into who we are.
Why a Great Website Matters
You might wonder why a tattoo shop cares so much about its website. Isn’t it all about the ink? Well, sure—the art is the heart of what we do. But in 2025, the way people find us, learn about us, and decide to trust us with their skin often starts online. A killer website isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a tool that bridges the gap between our studio and the people who walk through our doors (or hit us up for a consult).
When someone’s thinking about their first tattoo, they’re not just picking an artist—they’re picking a vibe, a place they feel good about. Our site has to capture that. It’s got to show off our work, sure, but also our personality. Are we the kind of shop that blasts punk rock and thrives on walk-ins, or the kind that’s all about precision and custom designs? (Spoiler: we’re a little of both, depending on the day.) Rathcore gets that, and they’ve built us a site that doesn’t just list services—it tells our story.
The Growth We Didn’t See Coming
Looking back, the past eight years have been wild. We’ve gone from a solid local spot to a name that people across North America recognize. That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident, and it’s put some serious demands on our online presence. There were times when our old sites couldn’t keep up—pages loading slow, booking forms glitching, or just not enough space to show off everything we were doing. Rathcore was there through it all, not just maintaining what we had but anticipating what we’d need next.
During our busiest stretches, when we were juggling more clients than ever and expanding our team, they kept the digital side of things humming. They’d roll out updates, fix bugs before we even noticed them, and make sure our SEO stayed on point. It’s the kind of support that lets us focus on what we do best: creating tattoos that people love and remember.
What’s New with the New Site
So, what’s different this time around? Without getting too techy, this new site is faster, cleaner, and more “us” than ever. The layout’s intuitive—whether you’re on your phone or a laptop, you can find what you need without digging. We’ve got a beefed-up gallery section because, let’s be real, the work speaks for itself. There’s better integration with our booking system, so you can snag a spot with your favorite artist in a few clicks. And we’ve added some fresh content—like artist spotlights and a blog (hey, you’re reading it!)—to give you a peek behind the scenes.
It’s subtle stuff, but it adds up. The design’s got a little edge to it, just like our shop, but it’s not overwhelming. We wanted something that feels welcoming, whether you’re a tattoo veteran or someone still sketching out their first idea. Rathcore nailed that balance, and we’re proud to have it as the face of Certified Tattoo Studios online.
Here’s to What’s Next
This new website feels like a milestone, but it’s also a starting point. We’re not slowing down—neither in the shop nor online. With Rathcore in our corner, we know our digital game will keep evolving right alongside our art. So, take a spin through the new site. Check out the latest pieces, read up on our crew, or drop us a line to book your next session. Let us know what you think—we’re always up for feedback.
At the end of the day, Certified Tattoo Studios is about creating something lasting, whether it’s on your skin or in the digital world. This new site is proof of that, and we’re grateful to Rathcore Marketing for helping us make it happen. Here’s to new ink, new stories, and a digital home that’s ready for whatever comes next.
