Write Your Story In Ink With Tattoos Toronto

By Judy Sullivan


As many women as men sport tats nowadays. Your doctor and the businessman in suit and tie are often hiding a tat. Ink has become a fashion statement that tells a story. Today more tattoos Toronto are done as custom work than flash. Often flash is a starting point for a custom designed tattoo that tells a story.

Choose an artist that will create a work of art using your skin as the canvas. First visit the shop and talk to the artist. Many have art or graphic design degrees. Ask to see a portfolio of work the artist has done. Ask about experience and specialties. And of course, the store should be neat and clean.

Flash are pictures of pre-designed tats. Although sometimes derided as unoriginal, many have a timeless meaning that speaks to every generation. A heart with the name of a loved one written inside is a timeless symbol of love and devotion. A family tree celebrates family ties. Patriotic and cultural symbols bind a group together. An anchor is a symbol of stability throughout the storms of life. Other popular flash tats are the infinity symbol, a cross, a musical note, a zodiac sign. Butterflies, birds, and flowers can have different meanings to different cultural groups.

Memorials for a deceased loved one are a timeless favorite. Also popular today are script pieces expressing religion, faith, character traits, words of wisdom and inspiration on this strange journey of life. A recent favorite for men is a tat of the family name, usually written in Olde English script. Artistic tattooists can reproduce a realistic portrait as an ink tattoo.

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.

Why do people mark their body in such a permanent way? It can be for beauty, fashion, art, self-expression, memorialize a sentimental or sad event, sexual attraction, cultural affiliation. There's still the impulsive under the influence or friends night out that ends with a stop at the tattoo parlor. Many criminal gangs identify themselves with a tattoo, but there's also flash for corporate symbols like Harley Davidson, Budweiser, Corona, Apple, Chevrolet, Ford, Volkswagen.

Reality shows of tattoo artists and competitions have de-mystified the process. Every June, Northern Ink Xposure, also called the NIX show, assembles vendors and artists in Toronto for competition and a celebration of the art of tattooing. Only professional vendors are accepted. This is a good place to see artists in action, to see the process, and the possibilities.

When deciding on placement, remember, they're permanent. Many doctors and lawyers have tattoos hiding under their shirtsleeves. Many women are sporting a tat underneath that blouse and jacket. As acceptable as they are, not all workplaces want employees visibly flaunting their personal life journey at work. Choose a design that will have meaning for the rest of your life.

Tattoos Toronto are popular with businessmen and women, doctors, lawyers, college students, nurses. Fifteen percent of baby boomers sport a tattoo. Thirty-eight percent of the 18-29 year old crowd have at least 1 tat. The modern day rite of passage is 1st a driver's license, then a tat.
