Custom Tattoos Toronto For Your Personal Journey

By Judy Sullivan


Your body is the canvas at tattoos Toronto. Write your story in permanent ink. Whether you desire a discrete or demure flash tat, or a custom design, experienced artists are at your service. No longer the domain of criminals and deviants, as many women as men sport tats. Many a businessman or woman is hiding a unique and personal ink piece under that business styled shirt or blouse.

Tats are permanent art, so it's important to choose a tattooist who's an experienced artist. Many have graphic design or even fine art degrees. Visit the shop for a consultation. Bring your idea with you and ask the artist if he's experienced with this kind of work. Ask to see a portfolio of work the tattooist has done. Examine the shop for cleanliness and ask about health and safety precautions.

Flash are prepared tat designs. Although sometimes disdained as generic, there are literally hundreds to choose from. They do have a historical meaning. Some of them have different meanings to different cultural groups. A heart containing the name of a loved one is a timeless favorite. Other favorites include a cross, cultural or patriotic symbols, an anchor ( represents stability), birds, butterflies, musical notes, flowers, infinity symbol, a family tree.

Everyday folk are using their skin as the canvas of personal expression. Symbols of spiritual and religious devotion are popular. So are memorials to a loved one. Popular with men is a script tat, the family name written in Olde English style. Script tats can also express faith, inspiration, or words of wisdom. A good artist can turn a realistic portrait into skin art.

Ink is also used for cosmetic purposes to enhance lips, eyes, and eyebrows. A beautiful ink piece can cover a skin discoloration or a scar. Ink tattooing has been used to represent nipples on a reconstructed breast. Ask for a consultation. Choose an artist with experience with cosmetic work.

Motivations for wanting a tat include beauty, art, fashion, individual expression, personal narrative, cultural affiliation, and sexual attraction. Of course some are still the result of an impulsive act, especially when under the influence. Many gangs still sport tattoos to show affiliation. But there's also corporate logos including Harley Davidson, Budweiser, Corona, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, and Ford.

An explosion of tattoo related reality shows has de-mystified the process. The NIX show (Northern Ink Xposure) comes to Toronto in June. Tattoo artists gather to display their skills and compete for artistic recognition. Stop by the NIX show to see tattoo application in process, and meet the artists.

Tats are a permanent work of art, difficult to remove. Choose ink art that will have meaning to you all the days of your life. Increasingly acceptable, it's still best to pick a placement that can be hidden under a shirt or pants if there's any possibility you'll be working in a traditional field or environment.

No longer confined to the shady side of town, choose from over 100 shops in the greater metropolitan area. No need to hide your visit. Tattoos Toronto are popular with college students, nurses, doctors, lawyers, businessmen and women too. Even 15% of senior citizens have tats. For 18-29 year old's, that figure jumps to 38%.
