We had the good fortune of connecting with Jeff Terrell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jeff, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
It was always something I had in my mind since I was a little kid, I just feel like I need to be drawing or painting , tattooing it’s just in my blood I guess

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It is everything to me I can’t think or imagine anything else I would be doing or really would rather be doing , it’s my outlet when I’m stressed, if I won a million dollars I would still be tattooing and painting, i truly am in love with it and in love with making people smile! Tattooing gives me that instant gratification when I get to see someone so stoked on a new tattoo,

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well denver is such an amazing city so much to do and see! For food , kikes red tacos , stromans food truck , bubbas cheese cake , for starters are my fav spots here so far, definitely would have to hit a show maybe red rocks or mission ballroom are awesome venues , I’m kind of a homebody to be honest tho so that and some good chill time at home is always needed , maybe a mountain get away would be fun too! So many options and room for activities!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would first need to shoutout my dad for really getting my passion for art started , other than that I want to shoutout my best friend and co worker BJ storms for constantly motivating me to be better along with everyone else at title tattoo studios
