Event Summary
About The Exhibit
The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) is thrilled to announce the opening of Colorado Nick: A Legacy of Tattoo Art in Colorado Springs on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
Housed in the AJ Smith Gallery on the CSPM’s third floor, this fascinating exhibit was developed in partnership with Scott and Kayla Boyer, founders of Yellow Beak Press, a publishing company based in Colorado Springs focused on preserving and promoting tattoo history.
“This exhibit aims to bring the hidden history forward. The early tattooers featured here were key figures who shaped the craft in Colorado Springs, but their stories were scattered, forgotten, or never recorded at all,” stated by co-curator Scott Boyer.
Featuring a vibrant range of tattoo art known as flash, tools of the trade, and stories highlighting the history and legacy of Colorado Nick along with a host of others, this unique exhibit highlights the little-known but important cultural history of tattooing.
The CSPM in partnership with Scott and Kayla Boyer invite the community to celebrate this special exhibit opening from 10 am – 5 pm.
