This story contains uses of hate speech that may be disturbing to some readers.
Partners in life and business, Jess and Ryane Rose have owned the Wolf Den Tattoo studio and gallery in Denver for five years. Earlier this year, the business they worked so hard to build was hacked on Instagram.
The couple filed a report with Denver Police in February, but Jess and Ryane told Denver7 Investigates their clients are still being taken advantage of daily after Instagram failed to shut down the overseas hacker who took over their business account.
The owners now say Instagram’s lack of action has given the hacker more of a license to steal from their customers and escalate his attack on their clientele using hate speech.
The hacker operates by direct messaging their clients for a deposit up to $499 for a tattoo they’ll never get.
