Sadly not anymore.. I work full time in construction in the weeks.
I keep myself some few availabilities to tattoo on the weekend .
Now, I book 2 Saturday per month. You can book your appointment in advance.
If you want to be notified when I have new availability, you can subscribe to my waiting list. Basically, I contact the people in the list other when I have new spot open.
What I strongly suggest to my clients, is to :
- bring snack and liquid so you stay hydrated and feed through the session
-Wear cloths that you're comfortable and easy access for the tattoo. Something warm too, in case you get cold (it's happened often, an commun respond of your body)
-Bring something that helps you to deal with stress. And truly, bring anything that make you feel comfortable!.
I tattoo at the amazing studio Grey Market, on Ontario Street.
The studio is at the third floor, first door next to the elevator!
the code of the door is 3003. You can buzz in!
The address is 3115 Ontario East, Montreal
You can come by car (free parking in the street around)
or by subway (green line Préfontaine) super easy to access
Several factors influence my pricing: execution time, placement, project size, complexity, etc.
Generally, my prices are around:
- $150 per inch for fine line tattoos
- $250 per inch for shading tattoos
The prices displayed on the website (in flash format) are estimates based on a minimum size and typical placement (arm, leg).
For Freehand/Freeball tattoos:
Starting at $300. After that, I charge $110 per hour. These tattoos are more expensive due to the time required for preparation and freehand stencil work.
You can always email me for a more precise price estimate. I can provide one once we've discussed all the factors.
You can book a tattoo with me, custom and flash, through my website!
You go on the section : how to book.
You scroll down and will see the link to the form (it's the small enveloppe). There one in French and one in English.
In this form, you will have the general information that everyone needs to answered and after that a section for the custom request and another one for the flash. Fill the section of your request only!
For the freehand project, you can fill the section for custom tattoos and write in the description you want a freehand process.
You're always welcome to write me a message if you have question with your booking :)
Deposits are valid for one year and for a maximum of two appointments changes. I require 72 hours' notice to reschedule an appointment; otherwise, the deposit will be forfeited.
I can be understanding about emergency rescheduling, but I have a very busy schedule and limited availability for tattooing. Therefore, it's important to me that you are certain and serious when booking your appointment.
You can email me directly if you have an emergency. On the day of your appointment, if you have a deposit for two flash designs but decide to only get one, the second deposit will be forfeited unless you reschedule for another date.
Please note that in this case, you must still notify me 72 hours in advance.
What I suggest to ALL my client when they freshly get a tattoo done with me, it's a pretty simple and easy to take care routine: You change your second skin 2 times in a row.
You will do all your healing process with second skin. When the wound is finally closed, that's the moment you stop putting second skin and start hydrate it everyday.
The Step:
Remove the second skin 3-4 days after the appointment. Do it under the shower to make it less rash for your skin (and it hurts less!).
Wash it with a soap (whiteout perfume, skin sensitive) and dry it with a scoot towel.
Apply a new second skin and keep it for 4-5 day
redo the step before if you see the wound isn't closed.
If you see the tattoo is peeling and crusty, you can stop the second skin process and hydrated it. You do it 2 times a day. You can wash time to time to make sur its clean.

★ Nextcare : easy to find in drug stores. Perfect for small and medium tattoos.
★FYT brand : you can get it at their store in MTL
★Tegaderme : it's the medical grade, you can find it on amazon
Soap (you can find them at the drug store)
★Castille pur soap : you can take the vitamine E bottle!
★Marseille soap
★ Dove without perfume and sensitive
Hydratation (you can find them at the drug store)
★ Coconut oil : it's my favourite natural product to use. Plus it's have antibacterial effects
★Shia Butter : supper good when the scarification is complete! make the skin more smooth
★ Eucerin cream : supper good brand for healing the skin!
Ideally, send me an email with a photo of your healed tattoo attached, and let me know what kind of touch-up you'd like.
Touch-ups are free and included for six months after your tattoo appointment, or if you're coming back for another tattoo the following year, we can do it at the same time.
Please note that if you don't follow my aftercare instructions, I may refuse to do a free touch-up (for example, if you went to the spa the day after your tattoo and got an infection). I also reserve the right to refuse a touch-up if you make disrespectful remarks or inappropriate gestures towards me or any other member of the studio. (This has never happened to me, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll continue on this positive note.)
When you get a new tattoo, you need to wait at least 3 weeks before going in :
★Sauna, spa, Jacuzzi
★Pool, river, lake
If you go swing in those kind of water, you might get your tattoo infected and make the tattoo healed bad.
Don't worry, you can take showers without stress, but I will not take bath (for the still water)
Basically, until the wound isn't close, you avoid those things.
Until the tattoo is fully healed, you want to avoid at maximum any sun exposition on it.
That doesn't mean you need to be now a vampire and don't see the sun light hahah. ç
You can wear clothing that will cover it ( clothe that are opaque). You can wear scarf, bandage on the tattoo.
When your tattoo is fully healed, wear has much sunscreen you can when it's expose to the sun. Even after, the sun is bad for the tattoo quality.
Yes I can tattoo other design than mines, if :
★ It's a design that you brought from another artist with is consent. I need a prove of the buying and a confirmation of the consent of the artist.
☆It's your own original design. In this condition I often redraw your concept to fit more my style and fit to be tattoo. You need to keep that in mind that I will never redo 100% your design . But rest assured, I valide each step with you and keep the authenticity of the design :)
★Other tattoo artist design from a far country : that again consent to it :)
Yes ABSOLUTELY, and love it honestly.
I have a special service for POC. You have a 15% discount if you take the Brown Ink session.
What is the Brown Ink Session?
It's a theory that I'm working on, that I use brown ink instead of black to match better the skin colour warmness. Basically, black ink have a cold after tone and doesn't match with warm POC skin. That's the after grey tone we can see in healed tattoos. But when I use brown ink and different tones, it's make the tattoo look more natural on the skin and healed more naturally too.
if you're interested to have a brown ink, important to let me know in the description section form when you book your tattoo :)
