Nicole- @Nicole_ElizabethArt

With a background in fine arts, Nicole began selling her abstract artwork long before transitioning into the world of tattooing. While she continues to explore her style, she is particularly drawn to traditional, illustrative, and fine linework designs. Passionate about merging her love for abstract art with tattooing, she's always looking for creative ways to bring something unique to each piece. When she’s not tattooing, you might find her at a local punk show- she's an emo kid at heart and a devoted Harry Potter fan.

Kera- @YumeKera.ink

Kera began her tattooing journey in 2021 after earning a degree in animation from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, USA. She enjoys working with a variety of subject matter, with a particular passion for anime, video games, cartoons, florals, and insects. When she’s not tattooing, she’s often immersed in fantasy worlds, playing games like Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, and Final Fantasy.

Keeley- @hykanari

Born and raised in Ottawa, Keeley first joined the shop as a co-op student looking to gain knowledge in the tattoo industry. They quickly became an integral part of the team and their passion and dedication led to an apprenticeship. Keeley specializes in tattooing animals, canines, bones, oddities, and anything with a gothic or edgy aesthetic. While they primarily work in black and grey, they hope to incorporate more colour into their tattooing, inspired by the vibrant hues in their non-tattoo artwork.
