For Sage Raul, tattooing isn’t just a craft. It’s his lifelong passion. In our Summit interview, he shared his excitement for an event that brings artists together and reignites creativity in Denver’s tattoo community. The Summit Invitational, he says, is about pushing art forward and building the kind of community that first inspired him to pick up the machine.
Join us and support the Summit Invitational as we bring Denver’s tattoo community together.

@darlgnau is more than a tattoo artist. He is a builder of community. In this interview he opens up about the vision behind the Summit Invitational, not as another convention but as a gathering rooted in purpose. For Darl, fulfillment does not come from competing for attention or from the commodification of art. It comes from lifting others up. He speaks about the joy of giving artists space to grow, to connect, and to share their craft.
What drives him is simple yet rare. He believes art thrives when it is nurtured. The Summit is his way of giving back to the community that shaped him, creating something that feels intimate, genuine, and alive with collaboration. In a world where tattoo conventions often feel transactional, Darl’s vision is about people, passion, and possibility. It is a reminder that the heart of tattooing has always been about connection.

Summit wasn’t just loud machines and crowded aisles. It was moments like this… the quiet focus, the craft, the stories etched one line at a time. A weekend full of artists in their element.

Was walking around DT today with my old camera and made this B&W inspired by @brucemichaelfilms stuff

None of this happens without the people who show up and make it real. The energy this weekend was unreal. Til next year.

What are you chasing?
This isn’t just a fashion short.
It’s a mirror. A cycle. A wound.
We become what we think the world wants, polished, productive, put-together.
And in the chase for success, money, status… we forget what we were really after.
She’s not just a thief.
She’s the dream you buried. The freedom you abandoned.
And you’ll give everything chasing her,
not realizing what you’re losing until it’s gone.
This project was born from restlessness, silence, and obsession.
It looped in my head until I made it real.
Every second was built to feel.
If it makes you feel something—
if it haunts you for just a moment—
then it did its job.
