Tribal Rites Tattoo Piercing and Fine Jewelry Celebrates 30 Years Fort Collins’ Oldest Tattoo and Piercing Studio Celebrates Three Decades by Giving Back to the Local Community

Tribal Rites Tattoo, Piercing, and Fine Jewelry is excited to celebrate their 30th year anniversary with a benefit for the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program (RMRP)! Tribal Rites will be donating 30% of all sales for the day to the RMRP. Select Tattoo Artists will be offering custom drawn designs on a first come first serve basis, and we will be open our normal business hours, 12-8 p.m. Piercings will be available by appointment, and we will do our best to take as many walk-ins as possible.

Tribal Rites will be hosting a few events to celebrate our anniversary, beginning with a charity day to support our favorite charity, Rocky Mountain Raptor Program an incredibly important institution in Northern Colorado, doing amazing work with local Raptors. On Saturday March 23rd, from 12-3, volunteers from the RMRP will be present to answer questions and talk about their favorite subject, Raptors!. Tattoo Artists will be offering custom drawn designs for the day’s event. The designs will not be alterable, and offered on a first come first serve basis.  Tribal Rites will donate 30% of the day’s sales to the RMRP. “Curtis and I have always felt that the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program does valuable work for the sustainability of Northern Colorado. Raptors are such an important and integral part of our ecosystem, not to mention fun and challenging to draw!” Said Chad, co-owner of Tribal Rites.

Our connection to the RMRP began over 10 years ago when Curtis, co- owner of Tribal Rites, began spending time at the Environmental Learning Center in Fort Collins, observing and drawing the birds that the RMRP had placed in enclosures there. Around that time Tribal Rites was celebrating our 20 year anniversary and we decided to do a benefit for the Raptor Program, which went really well, and the designs we created for the event became the inspiration for our current business logo! “We are so happy Tribal Rites has committed to another event! We had a really good time years ago for their 20th anniversary and we are really excited to be there again with some Ambassadors, and to share what we do and what makes the program special with their customers!” Said Jessica from RMRP.

At the forefront of the industry, Tribal Rites became Northern Colorado’s first Piercing studio to exclusively carry high-quality, American made jewelry, and to practice advanced and modern piercing techniques. Beginning in a humble small location just a few doors down from our current location, we have since grown to over 15 employees! Tribal Rites has been proud to serve the Fort Collins and Northern Colorado communities, and it is our intention to bring incredible, high-quality piercing, tattooing, and fine jewelry to Northern Colorado for years to come.
