What to look for in a Halifax Tattoo Studio?

When searching for the best tattoo studios and tattoo artists in Halifax, look for work that holds up over time, experienced artists, professional sterilization practices, and strong client reviews. Don't rely solely on what you read - hear online when choosing a tattoo studio. Photos can be filtered, reviews are bought and falsified, and not all post-work reflects the artist who shares it. The best way to know you're making the right decision is to visit the studio in person, see the space, meet the artist, ask questions and judge the quality for yourself.

In the Community....

​We've built a strong connection & presence within our community, becoming involved with events, auctions, schools, government and local businesses.  Our biggest event was our work with the local Sheriffs for  "Justice Scores for Wishes" and "Pitches for Wishes".  These events raise money for local "Make a Wish" children in need, held twice annually. We were also lucky enough to come on board when they did their "Justice for the Cure" (breast cancer) events. Altogether, we helped these events raise over $107,000.00 and sent many more children to live their dreams than we ever could have hoped for. 

Since 2011, we've been able to help struggling local families during the Christmas season. Whether it be from the loss of a job or loved one, illness, or just hard times,  we let our families know that through our #HalifaxHasAHeart Christmas Campaign. Taking some of the stress of Christmas off their shoulders allows them to concentrate on what's most important to them. We take donations of food, money, gift cards, clothing, toys, as well as personal and household items. All items go to local families in need. We also put up a BIG thank you to all who help us each year on our social media and our website.
