Can you recommend a tattoo artist in Toronto?

October 14, 2015 1:12 PM

I'm planning on getting a new tattoo but it's been so long since my last one that I need to find a new artist. Does anyone have a recommendation for someone good in Toronto?

I'm thinking flowers and colour right now and would want some help with coming up with he design from reference material. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm currently Instagram-window shopping the work of Jennifer Lawes at Pearl Harbour Gift Shop pretty enthusiastically. I had work done there by India Amara a few years ago (she's now elsewhere I think) a few years ago and am still delighted by it & was happy with the Pearl as a space as well. jenniferlawes on Instagram, pearlharborgiftshop.com

Seven Crowns (specifically Matt Ellis) are always on the top of Listicles about Toronto Tattooists. My own (watercolour-style) tattoo by him is twenty years old and has not faded or distorted.

My very-inked coworker/friend goes to Matt at Sal's, College & Spadina. Her tats are very colourful and nicely executed--if he doesn't quite do the style you want, I'm sure he can recommend someone. (I've only met him once, he's doing mine once I get off my ass to get 'em done.)
