Artists
RJ
Owner/Tattoo Artist
RJ Poston is a UK born and bred tattoo artist spending most of his early years growing up in Manchester, England and has been tattooing since 2015! A musician by education RJ began his career in the tattoo industry at the age of 18 as a body piercer back home in ol’ Britannia! In his early 20s he made the move to Germany where he undertook his tattoo apprenticeship, whilst working as a full time piercer, and from that point his career was born.
RJ emigrated to Guelph from Chorley, England with his family mere weeks before the “great apocalypse of 2020”, weathered that storm and came out the other side in a glorious ray of sheer panic! RJ is an all rounder style wise, from fineline to new school and everything in between, however has a preference for black and grey realism!
Fun facts:
Although he has a funny accent he’s British not Australian 🙃
RJ is literally his first name
Enjoys Costco trips immensely
Garrett
Tattoo Artist
My name is Garrett, and I’m a tattoo artist with nearly six years of experience in the industry. I work in both colour and black and grey, with a passion for creating tattoos that are bold, detailed, and tailored to each client.
My work is influenced by a variety of styles, including neotraditional, traditional, illustrative, and surrealism. I especially enjoy working with subject matter ranging from flowers and animals to sci-fi, fantasy, and imaginative concepts that give me the opportunity to create something unique.
Outside of tattooing, family has always been an important part of who I am. I’m a proud father who raised my daughter on my own, and I’m also the proud owner of our golden retriever, Lulu—a name chosen by my daughter.
For me, tattooing is about more than creating artwork. It’s about connecting with people, bringing their ideas to life, and creating something meaningful that they’ll carry with them for years to come.
Brien
Tattoo Artist
Over the past 23 years Brien has been tattooing everything from traditional, Neo-traditional, realism (black and grey) and custom tattoos to suit the whim of the clients all across Ontario and occasionally BC, where he spent the 90's as a drum slut for such bands as Curious George, Little Joe, DOA, The Real McKenzies, The Bombshells and Bif Naked among others. His main focus is to try and bring the client’s vision to fruition within the bounds of the craft and reason. He is a graduate of Emily Carr College of Art and Design majoring in printmaking with a minor in sculpture and painting. In short, he welcomes all challenges so please, challenge him.
Steve
Tattoo Artist
Steve likes long walks on the beach, taking naps with his dog, and tattooing. He’s always been in the art world but finally took the leap to tattooing professionally in 2013 and started his apprenticeship. Gaming and media arts, comics and mangas, cartoons and animes are his influences. Steve works in an illustrative, comic style. Loves all things nerdy but has no issues admiring natural beauty to pull off clean dainty floral/decorative art. Colour is on the top of his list but can still create nice contrast working in black and grey pieces. Steve is a friend to all so all otaku, geeks and nerds, let him be your “tattoo guy”.
Steph
Tattoo Artist
Steph is one of our tattoo artist, originally from England, whose journey into the world of tattooing has been anything but conventional. Initially working as a veterinary nurse, she spent many years caring for animals, a role that gave her a unique sense of precision and attention to detail. Her passion for creativity, however, always lingered in the background, and in late 2019, she began immersing herself in the tattoo industry, learning and honing her skills as an apprentice, having RJ as her mentor.
After years of absorbing knowledge and refining her craft, Steph made the bold decision to fully commit to tattooing in 2023, leaving behind her career in veterinary nursing. Drawing inspiration from her diverse experiences, she brings a fresh, empathetic approach to her tattoo work, ensuring each piece is not only beautiful but deeply meaningful for her clients. Steph continues to grow in the tattoo industry. She is really enjoying colour along with blackwork/stipple shading.
