Meet Michael Miller, an experienced tattoo artist in Fort Collins. Book your free consultation at Solana Tattoo Co. Michael Miller Michael is a versatile artist who can do it all, from fine-line to traditional to realism, cartoons, watercolor, you name it. As the legend goes, he was … born into darkness and raised in the violent underground Bulgarian tattoo pits. Though only a boy of thirteen, he rose through the ranks to become the fiercest tattooer in the tattoo hive. After defeating all who dared challenge him, he grew bored. While lounging in his doldrums one day, he suddenly heard the sirens call on a light sea breeze and set his sights on escaping the pits. A daring escape plan was hatched and executed flawlessly. At only three and twenty years of age, Michael was finally free to roam the seven seas, tattooing skulls and eagles on whales and Kraken. After years of seafaring took its toll on his body, it was time to step foot on dry land again. Two weeks later, his ship, the Bold Liner, made port in the Americas. For years he toiled in the badlands of Orange County California, and wrangled tornadoes in Oklahoma before forging his legacy in the frozen bosom of the Rockies. True story (probably). See some of his work below. See more at instagram.com/mllr_tattoo/

He followed his passion for design to college, studying both engineering and graphic design. That unique blend of knowledge prepared him to return full circle back to his childhood dream of tattooing, which demands both the artistic eye of a designer and the technical precision of an engineer. Corey moved to Colorado to fully pursue his tattoo education under the mentorship of Solana’s Matt Phillips and graduated from Solana’s rigorous apprenticeship program. He especially enjoys doing American traditional and Japanese traditional tattoos. See some of Corey's work below. See more at www.instagram.com/theoriginalcorndog.

Solana Tattoo offers neotraditional tattoos, a modern evolution of traditional tattoos, combining bold outlines & strong colors with detail, depth, & shading. Neotraditional Tattoos in Fort Collins What is a neotraditional tattoo? Neotraditional tattoos are a modern evolution of traditional tattooing, combining bold outlines and strong, saturated colors with more detail, depth, shading, and artistic complexity. The style keeps the recognizable, timeless quality of traditional tattoos while giving artists more freedom to create dimensional and highly personalized designs. Popular neotraditional subjects include flowers, animals, portraits, snakes, birds, and mythical creatures -- but you can take a neotrad approach to a ton of other subjects. Designs often feature dramatic compositions, rich color palettes, intricate linework, and layered shading. Whether vibrant and whimsical or dark and dramatic, neotraditional tattoos offer a versatile approach for anyone who loves the boldness of traditional tattooing but wants more detail and dimension. Below are some examples of Solana's neotraditional tattoos. See more tattoos on our Instagram page .
