The items in the Terrorium Shop were all handcrafted by the owners, a taxidermist and a gardener. Choose from oddities such as coyote-tooth earrings, a decorated skunk skull, a custom-made diorama attuned to your vibe, or a ready-to-mount domestic canary. No creature was killed to create your new treasure; all specimens were ethically sourced and arrived post-mortem.
4416 Yates StreetWant to pamper a little one without resorting to some huge eatertainment complex? Little Bird Denver offers high-quality clothing (some of which is gender-neutral), as well as games, jewelry, books, shoes and special-occasion outfits.

2200 Kearney StreetA great tattoo studio is the first step to a great tattoo.

From fine-line tattoos to elaborate, custom illustrations, this is the place to go if you want to make your mark.
6640 East Colfax AvenueThe Enigma, a former mainstay of the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, moved here last summer and keeps a (relatively) low profile as a tattoo artist at the Freakys on East Colfax. But the man famous for his world-record full-body tattoo of 2,123 blue puzzle pieces still likes to get up on stage and swallow swords, something he's been doing since he became interested in circus performance as a teenager growing up in the Seattle suburbs. You can catch him doing his act, which includes shoving a condom out of his nose, at such events as the Mile High Horror Film Festival and Colorado Festival of Horror.
