Hey internet folks, it’s us over at Slanted, here to chat more about queer owned businesses. Here in Montana, we have a vibrant and ever growing queer community that we want to see thrive for years to come. One way we can ensure this community continues to grow is to support queer-owned businesses. These are real, hard working LGBTQ+ identifying folks who are not only running their own businesses, they are creating safe spaces and safe employment opportunities for other LGBTQ+ people in our community. Next time you need to get your bike tuned up, are looking to schedule a photoshoot, or want to grab a cup of coffee, consider taking your business to one of these queer owned spaces. ALSO, this is not a definite list. If you or someone you know is an LGBTQ+ identifying person and owns a business here in Montana, let us know!

Aether Tattoo Club

Aether Tattoo Club is a queer owned business near and dear to our heart. In addition to having some of the most talented artists in the region, Aether Tattoo is committed to creating an environment that is safe and inviting to all clients regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or religious creed. Tattooing is an industry that can often perpetuate a culture that excludes people of marginalized identities. We are so proud to call Aether a client, and hope you consider them for your next tattoo. Check out the website we built for them, and support this shop today!
