welcome to
dark light studios
Zach "dark light" Atlan started working as dark light 9 years into tattooing after discovering his love in his style, life, and what truly mattered most to him. Five years later, with the help of his light, partner, and manager Jessica Atlan, they opened the new location for dark light studios in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado.
We had a Tribe forming, making all dreams possible. Creating a new Light to this vision. Mark Blackard, a friend, and family to DarkLight, offered his services to help build the new studio and stepped in as Zach's new tattoo apprentice.
Here we want to provide professional, high-end tattooing, create beautiful works of art created to your vision, but more importantly, to inspire, heal, grow and love.
"Like in art, life is all about contrast. The dark moments that make the light seem brighter. This is that journey. We have all walked it, whether we know it or not. That struggle to strive for your light beyond all the dark. I want you to strive for you. I want to relate, inspire, and open the minds of everyone I meet. I want to help you find your light in the dark. Your night light."
-Zach Dark Light
A VERY special thank you to Ty Goedl, you are our friend our family, and without your hardwork and constant help, none of this would have been possible. You deserve more than a thank you, you deserve LIGHT.
