Ben Parker, DBA Branded Tramp, has been tattooing since 2000, and in his free time loves to paint and party with his two dogs. His art has been commissioned for clothing, album covers, and donated in charity events. He splits his time between Denver, CO working at Illustrated Gypsy Tattoo and Albuquerque, NM working at Made Sacred Tattoo. He is experienced in all styles of tattooing, but American Traditional and Japanese inspired tattoos are a specialty of his, he enjoys combining the two styles in his series titled "Imposter Syndrome." Please book an in-person consultation in Denver or ABQ or email brandedtramp@gmail.com with your design requests and/or painting commissions.

Very thankful for the thousands of people who have trusted me to create beautiful art on their bodies for the past 20 years.

Here are a few words from a handful of them.

“I have 3 pieces by Ben Parker. He is an incredible artist. Professional, laid back, gentle handed. Everywhere I go, when I travel, people ask me who did my amazing art work. His line work, color, and detail is impeccable.”
— Elena D.
“I needed a tattoo covered up last minute and met with Ben Parker. He was able to get me in within a week, he drew a flower freehand and the resulting tattoo was amazing. He spent a lot of time on it and gave me a great price. I have had a lot of compliments on it, one person even told me that it they have never seen a tattoo that fit someone more. I highly recommend Ben Parker for tattoos, he is the sh*t.”
— Johanna S.
“Ben Parker is an an amazing tattooist! I love his professionalism and humor, as someone who has quite a bit of experience in tattoo shops around the country I can honestly say Ben is the best artist I’ve gotten work from. ”
— Courtney B.
“All my ink is done by Ben. Even though he moved to New Mexico and I’m moving to New York, his skill is worth me traveling to let him continue putting art on my body. Once you go Ben, you never go back. It might not rhyme, but it’s definitely true.”
— Ashleigh S.
“Ben Parker is the best artist I’ve ever been to. I will support his business and his art until the day he retires! Plus he doesn’t deserve a canvas of fixes after I’ve carried one of the worst into his shop years ago. To my forever artist and the truest friend! You’re the best!”
— Allison M.
“Ben Parker is amazing!! I’ve been to a couple different shops in Denver but wanted to find a place and artist that could design and do a full sleeve. I sent him some pictures of tattoos I liked and went in with no set design. We talked about different ideas and then he drew on my arm the design. I’ve been there three time for about 10 hours and have much more to do, but I love the direction it is heading in. Ben’s line work is amazing, I have had random strangers comment on how great he did. I definitely recommend him to all my friends and clients. Go, you won’t be disappointed! ”
— Toby A.
“Ben Parker has been doing my tattoos for years, he used to be in Denver but now I travel to ABQ to see him, he is so good at what he does, truly a phenomenal artist. Can’t wait to head down again soon for another session!”
