Mike (aka Chip) has had a love for tattoos since a very young age. His Grandfather ignited Mike’s interest and passion in the tattoo industry, as he used to show Mike his tattoos and then proceed to tell him to never put identifying marks on his body. Obviously that never stopped him.
He first started tattooing as a kid trying to hand poke tattoos with a needle and thread, until he heard that it was possible to make tattoo machines on his own. He then got to work and taught himself how to tattoo at the age of 15/16, and soon found his way into a shop.
In the 30+ years that Mike has been tattooing, he has owned and worked in various shops all across Canada, where he has gained the experience to tattoo in pretty much any style, from Japanese, to realism, to colour, but he gravitates towards fine line and black and grey tattoos.
“I eat, sleep, and breathe tattoos, and live the lifestyle to the fullest.”
