Canadian tattoo shops

2006-04-13T20:08:57Z

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.

New fella with new and semi new work...

2004-11-04T07:39:22Z

Hey Folks,

Thought I'd say "hey" and drop a couple of pix of my work.

http://c.myspace.com/00026/81/77/26917718_l.gif
ABOUT IMAGE #1:
The BANG! gun tattoo is of my own design, and the tattoo itself was done by Trevor Shea at SACRED HEART TATTOOS in vancouver, BC.

At the VAN TAT convention (which I also emceed) I recieved a tattooed signature from Captain Don Leslie, reading "Capt. Don" underlined by a dagger. I also purchased a painting from him which now hangs alongside work by internationally acclaimed banner painter and dear friend of mine Kevin House.

Captain Don is perhaps one of the most informed people in North America, if not the world, on the topic of true traditional sideshow history as he is a living, breathing piece of it himself. It is safe to say that of all of the sword swallowers in North America today, Don Leslie either trained, or they were trained by a student of his at some point at the beggining of their carreers.

ABOUT IMAGE #2:
My newest tattoo by my Cuban pal, Hans!

http://c.myspace.com/00026/48/67/26917684_l.gif
ABOUT IMAGE #3:
Myself and Captain Don Leslie, Mr. Sideshow, a sword swallower, fire-eater, human blockhead and tattooed circus man, at the Van Tat Convention.

Wyrvex tat...

2004-08-17T19:37:40Z

NB: Also posted in Tatheadz

Hey all....I'm looking about getting my 3rd tat...and this one would be rather more substantial than my others...its of a wyrvex that I've drawn...you can see it on one of the last pages in my photo gallery (there aren't many to go through in any case).

I'm thinking of placement on the right hip with wings possibly wrapping over the top of the hip in front and back. What I'm looking for would be colour suggestions, tho I do have an idea....and more importantly, the name of a good place/artist in the Ottawa-Renfrew (Canada) area where I'm currently living....

Thanks in advance! :)

horror story

2004-05-09T01:25:19Z

Im posting this here instead of the other tattoo tribes because it directly relates to a canadian tattooist.

In 2002, I went to get work done at a place called Unlimited Ink in London Ontario. The tattooist Mark had a good rep and a solid portfolio of highly detailed pieces. So I booked an appointment. In the discussions of what I wanted done, he became less and less interested. Then after 3 horrible sessions where, I'm convinced he was doing a shitty job on purpose, my arm was so badly damaged I considered calling the police. He went over old lines that were fine and made them scars, the scabs took WEEKS to heal. The color was blotchy, muddy, and unfinished in many areas. The absolute worst part of it though was the agony I went through. I have been tattooed by 6 different people. Ive never experienced pain like I did with him. Everyone told me to call the police or have his legs broken.

But I didnt. I was too ashamed. I felt so... seriously... violated. So instead, I paid a real tattooist here in Toronto to help me fix it up. 5 sessions and $700.00 later it still looks like shit. You can see some of the blocthy color in the pic in my profile.

I have no idea why this m#therf*cker wanted to damage me so badly. I had never met him before and never had any run-ins with anyone he could have known. I had known approx 5 ppl in that town and only been there a few months. Regardless, Im now scarred for life. My new tattooist who is a professional and monster talent, suggests I cover the entire forearm in black. My entire forearm...

I just want all of you to watch out for this !@$$%#. His name is Mark he worked for Unlimited Ink on Richmond in London Ontario. I have a picture of him that I may yet post here and everywhere I can.

I will never EVER sit down with someone I dont know again.

Peace.
