Jabink
My name is Jalen Butkus. I have been a lifelong artist but officially graduated from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in 2022. I majored in illustration with a focus in concept art. My goal artistically is to tell stories and create art that provokes emotion. Along with this artistic goal, I strive to create tattoos that are precise and as accurate as possible. I am originally from Washington State but mostly grew up in Northern Colorado. Outside of art I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, playing sports, and watching movies/tv shows. I look forward to working with you.

Booking
For booking/scheduling an appointment:
Please reach out to me through the form listed below, by email, or by instagram direct messaging. I will have you send over your tattoo concept and any photograph references of the tattoo you may be interested in getting. Once we have an idea of what you’d like to get done I can give you an approximate price range of what your tattoo may cost. I can then send you available dates for the an appointment. I do require a varying deposit that goes towards the total tattoo cost dependent on the size of the tattoo to secure the appointment on my calendar. We can also schedule for a consolation phone call or in person meeting if you would prefer. I do like to come prepared to the appointment. If the tattoo does require a pre-drawn design, I typically will be putting the design together during the week leading up to the appointment. When you arrive for the appointment, I can also make active adjustments to the design that may be necessary.

How to find the tattoo shop
The tattoo shop is located at 151 S College Ave in downtown Fort Collins. Our entrance is the double glass doors tucked between the First Bank and the Bar District Entrances. Through the glass doors you will head downstairs; the tattoo shop is located on the right hand side.
Downtown Fort Collins is also home to many great food places, shopping stores, and entertainment. If you haven’t checked it out before, I highly recommend it.
