Summer is in full swing, and although you need to keep your fresh tattoos out of the water and away from direct sunlight while healing, we are still busy! I guess it's all the skin showing with this hot weather, people just want tattoos! I'm taking appts Tuesdays - Saturdays 10am - 6pm. Feel free to call the shop or email me to set something up. (check out the bio page for contact info)

Thanks for checking out my site... have a look around and feel free to send me an email if anything catches your eye. I disabled the blog link for now. My first two months at Permanent Ink have been going really well, and I want to thank my clients, both new and old for coming to visit! Spring has sprung, not only are things picking up at the shop, but the weather is great too! Come get your tattoos before summer!

My new machines just arrived this morning! So stoked! Big thanks to "T" at Electric Soul Tattoo in Ca for the handmade beauties :)
We're getting closer to the end of summer, and although that's sad (not so much since we have a humid heat wave at the moment)... that does mean I'll be getting back into bigger custom pieces come autumn!

Finally we're into the summer! After a trip to BC and Seattle, I'm back with lots of inspiration. And also check out the poster below for info on The Wee Show! I'll be showing 3 teeny tiny framed paintings of veggies (asparagus, eggplant & corn on the cob to be exact) at this group show in Vancouver next month. You can view the lil' paintings in my portfolio section :)

Happy new year dudes! I know I'm late but I've been busy. Lots of tattooing and painting, and new stuff added to the site almost regularly. I'll be in an upcoming art show in Vancouver entitled Blood Guts & Gore, opening Feb 6th at The Fall. It'll be up for a month so check it out, links below for more info. I wish I could be there in person I think it will be fun and bloody! Come get tattoo'd. This month is going to be busy.

Happy Holidays :D

So, I've started a tattoo apprenticeship out of Iron Ink Tattoo in Truro, Ns! It's something I've wanted to do for a very long time, and i'm stoked at the opportunity. I'm working on a Tattoo page in the portfolio section, so stay tuned for some examples coming soon :)

Also I'm very pleased to announce that I have a bunch of paintings up for show/sale in the awesome new zombie/rockabilly/goth store Fashionably Dead in downtown Halifax.

I've been feeling all official since i've printed some pretty rad business cards too!

Birthday month has been great :D

I just put this ugly scrolling box thing on here to make updating a little more efficient. Don't ask me how i managed to get it to work, but here it is!

I've started on some very creepy stuff, just in time for Halloween! Let's just say it involves black velvet ooOOo!

Thanks to Randy & the boys at Blind Mute Productions for putting me in their GEARBOX show in August at the last minute. Randy showed up with the vintage wine box and art supplies and we had a nice day of artmaking in a random park in Calgary! Just in time for the show

I'm working on a small series of paintings inspired by my love of old diner and motel signs. I have this soft spot for nastalgia that's not my own. It seems to belong to the kitschy americana age of the 1950s .. for those who travelled route 66, and went for sunday drives for no other reason then to get out and drive. maybe find a delicious piece of apple pie at a local diner, or catch a movie at the drive-in.
... the paintings will have skulls 'n stuff too though.
