Montgomery Ink is the name of an extended romance series universe created by Carrie Ann Ryan, centering on the Montgomery family and their tattoo parlor in Denver, Colorado. The universe has expanded significantly since the first book, Ink Inspired, was published in 2013, and now covers multiple spinoff series set in Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins, as well as a legacy series following the next generation of Montgomerys. As of 2026, the combined catalog runs to over 50 titles.
The family ensemble structure means readers can often find a natural starting point based on which character interests them most, though the original Montgomery Ink series establishes the world and its recurring cast most fully. Ryan writes warm, character-driven contemporary romance with emphasis on family bonds, community, and second chances. The tattoo parlor setting appears throughout the series as both a literal location and a symbol of the creative, close-knit world the Montgomerys inhabit.
