Custom Tattoos Toronto For Your Personal Journey

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 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.

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.

Tattoos can also be permanent makeup to enhance eyebrows, lips, or eyes. They can hide or neutralize skin discolorations. They cover surgical scars, burns, birthmarks, even recreate nipples on reconstructed breasts. Find an artist who has experience in the medical tatting you need.

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.

Ink as art has been popularized by the new reality shows of tattoo artists and tattoo competitions. Toronto is home to Northern Ink Xposure (the NIX show), a gathering of artists and vendors that includes artistic competitions. Visit the NIX show to see the process and the possibilities.

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.

Thirty-eight percent of 18-29 year old's have at least one tattoo. Even 15% of baby boomers have tattoos. It's almost become a rite of passage. Hundreds of stores offer tattoos Toronto. No longer dark dens only sailors and the criminal element enter, as many women as men sport ink pieces. Shops are visited by doctors, lawyers, businessmen and women, nurses, college students, even senior citizens.
