I think it would be cool if we could list our favourite artists and their websites (if they have one) in this great country.

I personally go to Arno at Totem et Tabou here in Montreal. There is a website : totemettabou.com

Ok, that's all.

        really? I know a Adam Skye owns one (if he still does), but there's three now, so I guess they're really doing well.

        I should meet your girlfriend, ha ha. ;)

            hmmm I'll have to look into that one.

            And if your gf worked at Anarchy Ink, perhaps she knows a girl who worked in the piercing shop adjacent to it. And of course I don't remember her name right now, GRRRR.

                i live in vernon bc canada, and i go to Genesis Designs...I posted a pic of my latest tat(the Shirow faerie)and they are fab. I am not just saying that because they do all of my work either, they are a great team....there are about 5 shops here in vernon with our population of only 55000, but it works...

                    This is probably off topic. I'm thinking of getting my first peircing (nipple). No idea where to go. Any suggestions in TO?

                I go to Chad at Sacred Heart, and used to go to Andrea at Electroladylux but she moved.

                I've also gone to Jamer at Next, who's sinced moved to Sacred Heart AND who I believe was from Toronto too.

      Sean Headley at Sacred Heart up at 10th & Alma did my dragon a few years ago. He was awesome. I'm planning on getting him to do the matching armband on my right bicep, starting work this Fall.

        Sure mang, burlington is close enough, and if you know anyone in the Kitchener area that would be cool too as I'll be moving there in the next 2 months.

      Hello fellow Canucks!!
      Well since I live here in Brampton there's only one place that I go to for my tats and that's Art Addictions. The owner's name is Matt and he's the only person I that inks me. I've been going there for about 5 years now to get my tats but I used to stop in and look at stuff years before I got anything done.
      Here's the link www.artaddictions.ca/
