Riverton resident Jason Keen is an artist of many trades – tattooing, bladesmithing, and sign making just to name a few. His work can be spotted not only in Fremont County but across the U.S. And recently, he had four knives make their debut on a TV show. Jason has done metalwork for as long as he can remember, he noted. However, he started forged knife-making around 2014 after spending nearly 15 years serving in the U.S. Navy. Jason only makes knives when he has the time, so you can generally find him at his tattoo shop, Pure Quill Tattoo, located on Webbwood in Riverton. In addition to tattooing and knife making, he has built tattoo machines since about 2005 and has been making signs for many years as well. He also does gold gilding on windows.
You can check out Jason’s work on Instagram and County 10.

My name is Jeremy Larkey, 28, and from Fremont county. Born and raised. Finding an interest in art and tattooing during my military service, Pure Quill Tattoo was the perfect shop to find my creative outlet. Jason, being a veteran as well and sharing common interests through tattooing and other craftsmanships, took me under a very traditional apprenticeship. A constant learning, and humbling environment has helped pave a path to a promising career doing what I love. Click Here to see my work.
