Corey Miller in the back room at Stoney's.

Last night, Tuaca brought Corey Miller (think L.A. Ink -- and if you've seen that show, then you know how talented he is) to Stoney's Bar and Grill to play with his band, Powerflex 5. We caught up with Miller before the show (while he placed the finishing touches on the drum seen above) to talk about his Tuaca bottle design, life post-L.A. Ink, traveling and tattooing.

Sublime's "Santeria" is playing over the speakers at Fallen Owl Tattoo when owner and artist Adam Rose introduces himself, his shop and his mission: "We're a solid old-school shop, and we have old-school values. We're very focused on the children." In the flier for the West Colfax studio's latest project, that idea is depicted literally: Two toddlers play with a toy train while showing off full-body tats.

It's a little unsettling, but its heart -- Rose's heart -- is in the right place.

Cold beer, crispy tacos and badass skull art was the trifecta of treats last night at El Diablo. The restaurant at 101 Broadway was packed wall-to-wall for the third annual Dia de los Muertos Tattoo Artist Skull Show & Charity Auction, and the only thing better than the Day of the Dead art was the cause it was benefiting:all proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to Mi Casa Resource Center, committed to advancing the economic success of Latino and low-income families.

Best tattoo ever? Or the worst?

The sun finally came out this weekend after a long run of wild summer weather -- remember the hail and flooding last week? And yes, the wait was worth it. So what better way to spend a hot Saturday than at the pool? By going one bigger: Water World.

Apparently most of Denver had the same notion, as Water World was packed with people, lines and sunburns.And tattoos. Holy moly, there was a lot of ink. Some tattoos made us cringe, while others had us staring for more than just a second or two. Actually, we've been thinking about getting a tattoo for some time, and now we are certain which designs we don't want inked on our skin, thanks to these five Water World-goers. Check 'em out.

It's hard to think of a more legit way to rep your city than by getting it permanently tattooed on you. And if you're going to get it permanently tattooed on you, it's hard to think of a better place to do it than Th'ink Tank, one of Denver's most highly regarded tattoo shops -- Th'ink Tank artists routinely get booked over a year out. Starting tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m., you can do both at a discounted rate thanks to the shop's first 303 Party (because -- get it? -- the date is 3/03), which it's aiming to make a yearly event. And what's more legit than being there for the first one?

An overflow of bodies was spilling out onto the street of 609 East 13th Avenue on Saturday, toasting the night in celebration of the opening of the long awaited Landmark: Electric Ghost Tattooing. The co-op is a venture put together by four colleagues of the Denver tattoo scene, whose combined sixty years of experience led them to develop a coalition of professional skin-ink artists that can finally do things their way. Seth Brown, Nikolas Pew, Jher Clark and Ben Thompson enjoyed a raucous party on Saturday night, but are ready to get down to work on their own experiment come tomorrow morning, when the shop opens for business.
