Bold, thoughtful, unmistakably Aiden: a Fort Collins tattoo artist blending American traditional roots with strong lines, dark contrast, and timeless icons. Aiden Keller Aiden is a Fort Collins tattoo artist whose path to tattooing began in a Colorado State University dorm room — where he spent all day drawing. A lifelong artist from Boulder, Aiden dropped out of college after realizing all he really wanted was to make art. That decision led him to a fateful tattoo with JD, who would later become his boss at Solana, and then a tattoo by Matt, who ultimately became his mentor. After a successful apprenticeship and relentless practice, Aiden has developed a distinct style rooted in American traditional design but shaped by his own voice: bold, thoughtful, and instantly recognizable around town. Influenced by tattoo legends past and present, he blends strong lines, dark contrast, and timeless imagery into work that feels alive. “I love tattooing," he says. "I am so passionate about it; it’s all I can think about, honestly.” See Aiden’s work below.

Fort Collins' premier tattoo & piercing studio for micro, fine line, and minimalist tattoos. At Solana Tattoo Co., we craft delicate art that lasts. View our work and get inspired. Micro Tattoos in Fort Collins At Solana Tattoo Company, we believe tattoos should be as unique and personal as the people who wear them. Our artists specialize in micro tattoos and delicate, tiny, fine-line designs that highlight precision, detail, and artistry. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fiftieth, we make sure every client leaves with something they’ll love for life. What is a micro tattoo? A micro tattoo is a tiny, often finely detailed tattoo that focuses on precision and minimalism. Typically no larger than a few inches, these tattoos are created with single needles or tiny groupings to achieve crisp lines and delicate shading. Due to their scale, micro tattoos often feature simple designs, such as symbols, initials, flowers, or minimalist artwork; however, skilled artists can also create surprisingly detailed imagery in this style. Micro tattoos are an excellent choice for people who want something subtle, personal, and easily concealable if needed. They require a steady hand and a high level of technical skill, since even the smallest detail matters at such a small scale. Below are some examples of our micro tattoos.
