Tattoo Work
I began studying the art form and tattooing in 1993. I Opened as New Graffiti Tattoo Studio, Essex Ontario in 2012 as a Health Unit Certified Tattoo Artist, and then moved to Amherstburg, Ontario (2016) and re-branded as Ink Artist Studio in 2019. Heartbreakingly, All my hard work to gain the level of success I had achieved was pretty much destroyed by covid when it hit. I had to close in 2020 to help stop the spread of Covid, and after a year with no revenue coming in, the losses were too great and I had to shut my TATTOO studio doors permanently.
I had every intention of re-opening after the covid and relocation dust cleared, but after breaking my wrist that has healed with arthritis, and due to ongoing sciatica issues ...
as of February 2024, I am officially a "RETIRED" Tattoo Artist. (???)
It was a good run. I enjoyed and loved many of the pieces I created.
Over and out.
(??? I am open to going back into business in a partnership setting with the right artist - because as they say, never say never)
