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

Hi Shawn, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
To be happy and create a place for like minded driven individuals to accomplish their goals!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
After lifetimes of working in going to and hearing about tattoo parlors, I have built my business on the goal of not being everything everyone dislikes and hates in the industry. I have built a home for creative minds to come and go as they please with all the freedom they wish to have. A studio they love coming into to work and vibe with a talented team! It took me a lot of failures, believing in the wrong people, and a lot of listening over the years to dial it in and become what Solstice Ink has become today. Anything worth achieving is never easy and being an owner you have to accept you have no days off. Solstice Ink isn’t just tattoos it’s an experience. From the accommodations, shop visuals and conversations you’ll be family at the end of your session!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I am an old homebody nowadays. I do a lot of car shows events and track racing. If I were to recommend things I like, I would say a show at red rocks, hiking our beautiful hills, drives through the mountains, Cheyenne zoo, seven Falls or a brisk night walk down east Colfax.!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Id love to shout out Lucky Valenzuela, watching this man’s growth over the years he’s been by my side is admirable! His love of the entrepreneurial jump at any opportunity is motivating and amazing to witness!
