At Jackalope we want tattoos to be accessible and inclusive for everyone!
Our mission for Jackalope tattoo is to provide an inclusive space for both clients and artists to feel free to express themselves! We are continuously working on growing as Artists, Active Community members, and as Human beings.
As human beings, we are giving space to learn and educate as much as we can to cultivate a space that is foremost:
Anti-racist, anti-misogyny, trauma informed, disability and neurodivergent accessible.
With these foundations and connections to the community, we hope to help positively impact the tattoo industry as a whole. To create an industry that is safe and accessible for both artists and clients alike.
Current Practices for Accessibility

Artists* offering free color tests for BIPOC clients to see how the pigment settles and heals on their skin.

Continued use of masks for both Artists and Clients
Up to date vaccines when applicable*
Vigilant and upfront consent for symptoms of illness for both Clients and Artists
Rescheduling as necessary due to illness
Our shop is Accessible and built in compliance with ADA standards

Privacy curtains for each station
Current Community Involvement!
As a shop, we donate and get involved as much as we can with our community!
We regularly donate gift cards, merch, art prints and cash, to direct, mutual aid funds, and community fundraiser events. We regularly promote and patron local businesses. Our artists* are also regularly involved with the community, and their own advocacy/ educational work.
We also use our social media platform to help share community needs, fundraising campaigns and education.
To align with our goals, we are always looking for ways to be more involved in the community.
Please reach out to us at contact@jackalopetattoo.com with any suggestions or donation needs.
Accountability Practices
We always want to hold ourselves accountable! Jackalope welcomes feedback, advice and criticisms you may have. We do our best to stay knowledgeable, educated and informed and available to educate when necessary. However, we also acknowledge that as a mostly white and able-bodied shop, there will always be more work to do.
Trust us in knowing that we operate on good faith, inclusivity and continuous learning. We are a collection of humans doing our best.
If you experience an issue with any of our artists, or staff; see anything we could improve on; or just want to say Hi!
