We buy old tattoo stuff! Spiritual Transformation Tattooing, 7 days a week! Our sanctum was founded by "Calamity" Jane Nemhauser in the late 1970s, having her first shop in the tiny Colorado town of Meeker. Over the next 35+ years she opened up western Colorado to a quality previously unavailable to the area. She was trained by, worked beside and collected from Ed Hardy, Bob Roberts, Bob Shaw, Good Time Charlie, Zeke Owen, and many more, and is the only woman to have held a spot as a tattooer at Bert Grimm's on the Pike. Her background allowed her to bring a new standard of tattooing to the area, and with her success in Meeker she opened up shops in Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, and Grand Junction. Jane passed away in 2012 and left her shop and extensive historical collection of original tattoo flash and equipment to Aaron LeGore, the shop's current owner. Today we continue Jane's tradition of offering excellent, life-lasting tattoo art at fair prices, with the client's needs in mind.

Who wants to trade some good honest work or home furnishings for Tattoo work?

When I went all in on the business here, I didn’t initially realize how much I’d be unable to do other things. I guess there really is only so much of us to go around 🤷

If you know how to make a house a home, and want to trade skills, feel free to send a DM so we can talk.

And either way, I’m always down to draw a custom tattoo or do walk-ins whenever I (Aaron) am here Tuesday through Saturday. Here’s my page Aaron LeGore

Tattoo artist Jayson Hoggan Jay Hoggan is in shop Weds-Sun, off Mon & Tues

Tattoo artist Nathan Wirtz is in shop every day except Sundays & Wednesdays

To get tattooed, just come down to the shop at 8th & North whenever. If we can’t do a walk-in, we at least can do a consultation to draw your custom tattoo exactly how you want it.

Piercer Jacintah is also a mental health professional - she just got a new gig! She will be piercing still though. Your best bet is to DM her directly on TikTok or on FB or IG Jacintah Abernathy, or you can book with her online at www.janestattooandpiercings.com

I know, I’m sorry fo more politics in your feed - but my only agenda here is to encourage you to take advantage of living in a democracy, and vote. It’s not a perfect system, not by far - but YOU CAN BE AN AGENT OF CHANGE - even if it is in a small way. And that’s always worthwhile :)

With local elections, it seems like a vote can make a pretty immediate difference, especially in a town the size of Grand Junction or even smaller :)

There is still plenty of time to see what’s on the ballot. And how you think you want to vote. Here is a voters guide - none are independent truly so do your research
