I’m a Christian tattoo artist specializing in black and grey realism, with a strong focus on western and horse-inspired work. I completed my apprenticeship in Toronto, Ontario, and have been tattooing professionally for the past five years. Alongside tattooing, I create detailed pencil portraits of horses and pets, bringing the same realism and care into every piece I make.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really disappointing experience with Gena. Unfortunately, my skin was left scarred from the tattoo and the area is now raised and damaged. I gave it plenty of time to fully heal before judging the result, but it’s clear the damage is permanent and I’m now going to have to look into having it corrected by someone else. I trusted her with my skin and I’m genuinely upset with how it turned out. I would not recommend her based on my experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am not one to write reviews. However, after my experience with these guys I had to.

Came for a tattoo with somewhat of an idea of what I wanted and Gena made it come to life better than I had originally hoped. Super easy to work with. The owner Jim also was great and made me feel like family.

Many tattoo shops have the ego or the ‘too cool for you’ type attitude. This shop is nothing like that.

I look forward to the next time I’m in town and get to come back and see these guys.

❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came in with a vague idea of what I wanted and a difficult schedule to work around, and Michael went above and beyond, taking time from his day off to accommodate me, and turning my idea into art, true passion for his work.
