In my work, and in what I’ve done, there is a real magic in the ritual of tattooing. Scott Campbell
History
2025
Korl Tattoo opened in 2025 in Denver, CO. Founded by Nikolay Kibkalo, the studio specializes in large-scale, color-driven work that flows with the body—and is growing with artists who share that vision.
The idea
Design with anatomy first and clarity always. Big, readable shapes, refined color, and fully custom layouts crafted in focused 6–8 hour sessions so every detail heals clean and lasts.
Mission
Create tattoos that enhance the body and age beautifully while delivering a calm, sterile, and transparent client experience—from first concept to final aftercare.
As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition.A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye.
Korl Ink
Nikolay Kibkalo opened Korl Tattoo in 2005, which has since expanded to include six other tattoo artists.
"Nice tattoos."
— Katya PokhilchukIt was a pleasure to work with Nikolay! He is very patient and considerate. He listened to my ideas very carefully and came up with a stunning design. His suggestions were amazing and the tattoo turned out great! I also had absolutely zero issues with healing. I did half a sleeve but am coming back to do a full sleeve -the place is very clean and cozy, the company is great, and the results are worth showing off!
