When not drawing lil weird critters, Patty Templeton writes strange stories. Her first novel is an 1880s ghost story called “There Is No Lovely End.” Chat with her over by instagram.com/pattytempleton.
Just above the long scar on Bill Peoples’ upper right arm is the image of a man keeled over and hurling up the contents of his stomach. Above the scar is a tattoo of a man holding a shotgun in the direction of the viewer, a woman spinning around a pole, and above that is the name of the strip club Peoples worked at for more...
Every tattoo artist has a unique way of sinking their needle into someone’s skin. Different styles. Different focuses on detail. Different interpretations. Still, most artists work with the same goals in mind: to make the customer happy and create a good piece of art.
We spoke to local artists about what they believe is...
Look. We’ve all made mistakes, and many of us have made bad decisions when it comes to permanently inking ourselves in a tattoo shop. Or a basement. Or a garage. Hey, we don’t know where you like to get your tattoos.
Unfortunately, sometimes you have to live with those forehead-slapping tattoos for a while. On the other...
It’s hard to imagine a tattoo artist who isn’t covered in tattoos. Just try it. Can’t do it? Neither can we.
Tattoo artists are usually covered nearly from head to toe in an amalgam of colorful ink, and local artists are no exception.

Virgil Jerry Riggs was just 8 years old in 1950, but the young boy became one of the witnesses to see hundreds of saucer-shaped objects appear in the sky over Farmington, New Mexico.
The mass sighting, later known as the Farmington Armada incident, took place as the young child played outside during recess at Aztec...
Attention, readers with bad tattoos. Are you tired of staring at that hideous spider with the mutant legs and want to win a consultation and two FREE laser removal sessions from Durango Dermatology?
Or, perhaps you just want to cover it up with something cooler? Well, how about a FREE badass cover-up from Robert Smith...
The site of the 1948 UFO crash sits just north of Aztec, New Mexico, and it’s not an easy place to find. It’s hidden inside a barren desert landscape and surrounded by rugged dirt roads, eerie rock formations, and arid shrub life along County Road 2770.
The Aztec UFO incident is a tale we hadn’t heard until a couple of...
Patty Templeton once was almost arrested for dancing by herself in a parking lot after midnight. So it goes. Find her over on Twitter at @PattyTempleton.
The UFO Watchtower isn’t just a good spot for catching a glimpse of extraterrestrials. It’s also a place where you can talk about your alien or UFO encounter without getting laughed out of Colorado, which, according to owner Judy Messoline, is a conversation that happens regularly at the alien-enthusiast hot spot.
