Seeking great illustration tattoo artists in Toronto/GTA

December 1, 2019 4:12 PM

I am researching tattoo artists in Toronto/the GTA for a tattoo idea I've been incubating for a while. All recommendations (even if you haven't been personally tattooed by them) are welcome. Tattoo style: illustration (color OR black & gray); bonus points if they are experienced with botanical or scientific illustrations.

Prefer links to Instagrams, Flickr or personal websites where possible. Thank you!

I have not been tattooed by any of these artists, but these three came to mind from my insta follows:


Ash Timlin
E.K. Chan
Kat Gomboc (although I think they're moving to Hamilton)

I was tattooed almost 25 years ago by Rev Matt Ellis (now at Seven Crowns). My colours are still incredibly vibrant (I have had no touch ups or even any speacial care for it since I got it). I am sure his skill has improved in the decades since. He recently moved to Orangeville but I believe he has a guest chair in toronto once a week.

I have been following JoJo at Chronic Ink but have no personal experience.
