Abby Shelley

Abby Shelley is named as a tattoo artist on Blackgate Tattoo Collective's current artist page and has her own profile page. That profile describes a fine-art background — a bachelor's degree in fine art and a certificate in museum and curatorial studies — alongside a long-standing interest in painting, drawing, and photography, and says she began tattooing within the past year. No tattoo style is explicitly stated, so no normalised style is recorded. She publishes a professional email address and the Instagram profile @inkby_abbygale.

Blackgate Tattoo Collective

Blackgate Tattoo Collective is a tattoo and piercing studio at 63 Front Street West in Strathroy, Ontario. Its current official site names five tattoo artists — Jay Slaven, Ricky Vieira, Abby Shelley, Lance Pfaff, and Tony Kilmer — each with an individual profile page and a linked professional profile. The site publishes opening hours of Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, and directs tattoo consultations either to [email protected] or to messaging the chosen artist on their professional profile. Piercer Jaison and the co-located laser and IPL business Twin Sign Esthetics are kept outside the tattoo roster.
