A new tattoo shop called Gemstone Tattoo & Piercing is now open in Grand Junction.

First Street Tattoo at 1119 N 1st Street is having their grand opening party tomorrow through Saturday.

Grand Junction is tatted up and here is the proof. Take a look at Grand Junction showing off their tattoos.

The Mesa County Health Department has seen an increase in body artists operating without a certificate of inspection which may put them and their customers at risk of infection.

Here's a lesson in not putting the cart before the horse.

Grand Junction has a ton of tattoo shops and we're on the search for the areas best one, do you have an artist we need to know?

Before you decide to get a tattoo, it's a good idea to know what you you're getting yourself into. If you already have ink, then you'll learn what your body really thinks of that art.

I don’t have any tattoos. I have trouble committing to a pair of shoes in the morning; committing to something that would stay on my body for the rest of my life would be impossible. Maybe that’s why I’m in awe of movie tattoos, and the lengths some folks go to to show their love of film. Forever! You’ve got to be a pretty big fan of a movie to plaster it across your chest for eternity. What if your tastes change? When I was 14, I was really into Police Academy. Can you imagine if 20 years later my wife woke up every morning to this etched into my back?

Wow. Just...wow. Meet Victor Thompson, who you'll never have to ask what NFL team he follows.
