Freaky's Smoke Shop & Tattoo

Freaky's Smoke Shop & Tattoo covers a lot more ground than the name might lead you to expect. Walk in and you'll find glass pipes and water pipes, vaporizers and vapes, rolling papers, and a good spread of smoking accessories, plus incense and even a rack of clothing. As one person who dropped in to ask about piercings put it, they had no idea the place was so much more than a smoke shop.

That's the charm of it. It's a compact spot, and locals will tell you to come early or be ready to circle the block if the small lot is full, especially if you're driving something big. The tattoo and piercing side of the house is where this shop really earns its loyal following in Colorado Springs.

Ask anyone who's sat in Lee Smith's chair and you'll hear the same thing: steady hands, easy to talk to, and work people are proud to show off. One parent came in for matching tattoos with their daughter and walked out thrilled enough to plan the next one. On the piercing side, Angeline has a real knack for putting nervous first-timers at ease, and she's trusted with the trickier jobs too, from industrials to nose piercings, done clean and done right.

The crew here gets a lot of credit for being friendly and genuinely knowledgeable, happy to walk you through your options without making you feel rushed. Between the smoke shop selection, the tattoo work, and the piercing station, it's a well-rounded little shop with a strong reputation around town. If you're looking for a smoke shop in Colorado Springs that can also send you home with fresh ink or a new piercing, Freaky's is an easy one to recommend.
