Aren't you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter?

I'm going to be moving to Toronto within the next year and I don't really know the neighborhoods. Where is a good area that has a good tattoo community? My bf and I are heavily tattooed and looking to live in an area where that is common.
Hi, My name is John Alonzo. I work on Long Island, N.Y. at a shop. I have a friend his name is Cliff White. He's is one of the original tattooers on Long Island. He is also a collector of old tattoo signs, cards, machines, chairs, etc. He came across a card that read "Electric tattooing, 90 Queen St. W. Toronto." with the name "C. White" on it. He's interested in finding out about this person and the shop. Any help would be appreciated. Contact me at facebook.com/JCTheDamager. Thank you for your time...
Hey guys! So I will be getting my first tattoo (picture attached). It is of a feather but it's not exactly the same as what I am getting. I am having my wonderful sister draw it for me! It's the closest thing I can find. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on where to get it done in Toronto. It will be very intricate and means a lot of me. I am hoping to find not only a great artist but someone I feel comfortable with and can talk to. I have been wanting it for about a month and will wait around 3 more to make sure that I have done the proper research and that this is what I really want. It will be going from my side along my ribs and just end under my breast. (yes I know that is one of the more painful spots). Does anyone know roughly how long it will take?
So, I'm wondering if anyone can let me know if they've had experience with any of the following folks? (Or, if you've got some time on your hands, want to check out these portfolios and let me know what you think!)
Basically....I'd like someone who can do bold colours, flowers, stylized but semi-realistic birds, and, a stylized cat skeleton. I want it to look semi-day of the dead, semi-art nouveau.
And, well, I want someone that isn't a jerk. They don't have to be my BFF or even be talkative at all (I like quiet people!), but if I'm explaining my ideas, then spending 3-4 hours with someone, I need to feel comfortable.
Hi guys, im new to toronto and im just wondering could anyone recommend a good tattoo artist for japanese style work? The price is not an issue I just want to have work done by the best available! Thanks in advance!
I've heard from a friend that a person can get a UV Tattoo. I looked it up and thought that it looked really cool and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find a Tattoo artist who would be able to do UV tattooing for me. I've started emailing some places but they haven't gotten back to me yet -- any help you could give I would be greatful.
Hello! My younger brother and I are both looking to get our family crest done when he comes to visit in Mid February, so I'm thinking of booking the appointment for sometime around the 18th.
This is the design I'm currently working with, I 'm thinking we'll probably get it done three or four inches high. I really have no experience with Celtic designs so I'd like to be able to book it with someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to Celtic art, just in case there are any glaring errors with my design that a seasoned artist used to working with that kind of style would pick up on and be able to fix.
I'm looking at New Tribe currently, as I had a good number of recommendations for them, but none of their artists seem to have any of kind of Celtic styled stuff in their online portfolios.
Price wise, I don't want to break the bank, but I don't want to cheap out on it either. It's solid black, and as I said, about three inches high, but I'm not totally sure what to expect to pay to have a good job on it. About four or five years ago I was told it would be around $150, but more recently I heard it could be over $200. Does this sound like a job that could be less than $300, at least? I'm really not totally sure what to expect.
Any help would be huuuugely appreciated. Even as far as the design goes, if anyone knows if that's too detailed, or has any suggestions for how I could tweak it before I bring it to an artist I am totally willing to listen. Thanks much!
Can anyone tell me what the prices are like at Bobby Five? David Glantz is AMAZING but probably charges a ton! I'm getting a big flower piece on my ribs, about 5 colours..
Hi. I have a special situation here, and I figured I'd get a consensus before doing much more research.
I'm in Atlanta, and in four months I'm meeting up in Toronto with a friend who lives in Kitchener so we can spend some time together. While we're in Toronto, we'd like to get tattooed together. This would be my second tattoo, so I'm somewhat familiar with the process and I know what to look for and all that, but I'm definitely not a tattoo expert. I've also only been to Toronto once.
We don't want anything fancy, nothing huge or even big, nothing in crazy colors (I think mine will be all black). However, if possible, she (being very fair skinned) would like to get a white-ink tattoo (she's done the research). Again, though, it wouldn't be large.
So we've got some complicating factors here. I'm not sure how easy it will be for out-of-towners to book an appointment; though my friend knows people in Toronto, I'm not sure if having them come by will count. I'm totally willing to put down a deposit, anything along those lines. My friend's called and emailed Way Cool Uptown, and gotten no response; I guess they don't see it as a good risk. I'd like to contact New Tribe, but they might not be willing to do white ink, let alone the difficulty of us being out-of-towners. I think my friend would be willing to forgo the white ink if a place would book us otherwise. I don't know if it would be recommended or even possible to do a "walk in" situation (while it might be possible theoretically because the tattoos would be small, I'm not sure if reputable tattoo places do that), and I'm wondering if I could come by the day I arrive and book for a few days later before I leave, or what. My friend in Kitchener might be able to make the trip to Toronto to book if there's absolutely no other way in that regard.
If it doesn't look like a decent place will book us without both of us coming in in person months in advance, even with the small tattoos and even without the white ink, I'd like to know that for certain. Please advise! Thanks!
