Our Story

Founded in 2021 , Love You Tattoo is here with hopes to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and loved! Getting tattooed shouldn’t feel intimidating or scary! We want you to feel comfy cozy while...ya know…getting poked by needles…

This shop is the creation and brain child of Cori James - with LOTS of help from her amazingly handy and very patient husband, Jason Krutzky.

Cori started her career working in what some may call “stereotypical” tattoo shops - loud, chaotic, intimidating, overwhelming, male dominated…you know the drill. After years of feeling like that was the only kind of shop that existed, she started to desperately dream of a shop where SHE felt comfortable as an artist, but also her clients!

She dreamed of a shop where she could ensure her clients felt comfortable. Not intimidated or overwhelmed, but comfortable and accepted.

Her day dreams of 70’s style stripes on the walls, disco balls everywhere, and a feeling of brightness and joy finally became a reality in 2021. After living in Boulder for 2 years and falling absolutely in love with the city, Cori knew this was where her dream could thrive. Nestled in the foothills in the most beautiful city around.

Love You Tattoo is a culmination of Cori’s love for tattooing and her deep desire to change the industry from the inside out. It’s not just for the “cool kids” anymore. Tattooing is for EVERYONE.

This wonderful shop wouldn’t exist without our incredible team of talented artists and the support from our amazing community of friends. We are FOREVER GRATEFUL to each and every one of them.

COME HAVE SOME FUN WITH US!
