Abe’s Tattoo Parlour, also presented as Abe’s at Relic, is a tattoo business operated by Andy Griffin inside Relic Supply at 181 Water Street in St. John’s. The studio and Andy’s professional profiles continued to publish attributed work and availability in July and August 2026. No phone, style, or review aggregate is retained without current direct confirmation; the work remains reference-only Instagram links that require permission before reuse.
St. John's · NL
Adrian Sawyer is the other tattoo artist on Trouble Bound's currently deployed roster. The studio directly connects the name to the @steadysawyer709 professional portfolio; because the official source provides no biography or textual specialty, the record keeps that attribution without inferring a style from visual posts.
St. John's · NL
Aily Rose, called Aaliy in her official biography, has tattooed since 2009 and worked across Canada before returning to St. John's. Her work emphasizes bold neo-traditional compositions and rich colour palettes, and she also offers flash designs.
St. John's · NL
Amelia Rice is a tattoo artist on Elite's published team. Her official biography reports two and a half years of practice, a preference for black-and-grey realism and illustrative work, and a fine-line specialization; her collection of oddities also informs her flash designs.
St. John's · NL
Anchorless Tattoos serves clients from Unit 10 at 644 Topsail Road in St. John's, Monday through Saturday, with walk-in hours that may vary. Its current website, still under construction, accepts appointment requests and publishes the studio's contact details but names no tattoo artist, so the roster is deliberately left empty until a direct professional attribution is available.
St. John's · NL
Andy Griffin is the tattoo artist and operator publicly linked to Abe’s Tattoo Parlour inside Relic Supply in downtown St. John’s. His professional bio publishes the retained email, and posts from June and July 2026 confirm this workplace along with availability by message or walk-in. No style is assigned from visual interpretation alone; the work is retained only as provenance-linked references.
St. John's · NL
Bill Hiscock appears simultaneously on the current Perfection and Elite rosters in St. John's. Perfection attributes eleven works, a direct email, and black-and-grey and colour tattooing to him; Elite adds ten portfolio references and mentions realism. The two official biographies differ on experience length—more than twenty years at Perfection versus since 2007 at Elite—so the record preserves that conflict instead of choosing an arbitrary tenure.
St. John's · NL
Brian Amadi is listed as Brian on Elite's current professional link page. His identity and @amaditats account are cross-checked through a Canadian artist directory and a 2026 local discussion associating him with the studio; because no accessible first-party tattoo biography was found, no controlled style is assigned.
St. John's · NL
Chelsea Whidden Jones has tattooed since 2020 and works exclusively in black and grey. Her Skin City profile documents geometric, dotwork, neo-traditional, and realism work, with realism identified as her current primary focus.
St. John's · NL
Clara Dwyer is described as an apprentice in her first year of tattooing. Her Elite profile focuses on building her portfolio through flash and smaller custom pieces; no controlled style is added without a stated specialty.
St. John's · NL
Dane Silverthorn is presented as a new Skin City team member and is currently accepting projects. His practice is dedicated to American traditional tattooing, using bold outlines, saturated colour, and either classic-flash or custom compositions.
St. John's · NL
Dave Munro is one of the two tattoo artists named in Trouble Bound's currently deployed roster, which links directly to the @dave_munro professional portfolio. The official St. John's convention site also credits him with founding that event more than a decade ago; no controlled style is added from comments or images alone.
St. John's · NL
Don Callahan has more than ten years of experience and has returned to the Skin City team. He focuses on American traditional tattooing with bold lines, strong colour palettes, and classic imagery, and currently accepts appointments plus weekly walk-in availability.
St. John's · NL
Elite Tattoo Studios operates its permanent St. John's location at 685 Water Street, open daily for appointments and walk-ins. The record combines artists named on the official team page with Brian Amadi, who appears on the current professional link page; the difference between those two rosters is preserved as a quality-control signal rather than hidden.
St. John's · NL
Emily Murphy has tattooed since November 2019 and specializes in black-and-grey work. Her practice combines fine line, dotwork, ornamental, realism, and neo-traditional approaches across portraits, animals, insects, florals, skulls, and Gothic architecture.
St. John's · NL
Gerald Best is presented as a tattoo apprentice working under Bill Hiscock. His earlier art background includes portraiture and urban art made with brushes and spray paint; because the biography says he is still exploring techniques, no controlled tattoo style is assigned.
St. John's · NL
Grace Chafe brings delicate black-and-grey work to the Studio Maxx roster. The @tattooedbyg professional profile explicitly identifies her as a tattoo artist at the St. John's studio and directs inquiries to her dedicated email.
St. John's · NL
Gray Allen is a developing tattoo artist whom Perfection directly associates with black-and-grey work, clean lines, and smooth shading. The individual page publishes a twenty-two-work gallery, an email, and two social profiles; the “Grey Allen” spelling visible in its breadcrumb is retained as an alternate form.
St. John's · NL
Heir Jess, also known professionally as HeirJessTattoos, is a tattoo artist at Temperance Tattoo Studio, 122 Duckworth Street. Her personal site, updated in July 2026, says she has tattooed since 2019 and explicitly names black-and-grey realism, anime, fine line, and neo-traditional among her specialties. The official form and two professional emails are retained for inquiries, together with her exact Instagram and Facebook profiles. Older listings that still place her at Skin City, 325 Duckworth, are rejected, and the HeirJessTattoos map record is reclassified as an artist identity rather than a separate studio.
St. John's · NL
Hollie Fae appears on Temperance Tattoo Studio's current roster. Her official profile exists but remains marked “Coming soon” as of verification, so no style, individual contact, or portfolio is attributed prematurely.
St. John's · NL
Ilona Odrina has practiced tattooing and permanent makeup since 2019. Her official biography cites delicate floral designs and graphic work and traces a path from the start of her career in Ukraine to opening a studio in Warsaw before relocating to St. John's.
St. John's · NL
Kaitlyn Putt has tattooed since 2024 and focuses the Studio Maxx profile on black-and-grey botanical, wildlife, and nature subjects. Her Instagram confirms the affiliation and publishes the complete .com email; that value conservatively corrects the truncated .co roster link without hiding the source anomaly.
St. John's · NL
Kat Davis, also named Kathleen Davis on the studio's About page, began her Skin City apprenticeship in June 2022 after earning a Memorial University visual-arts degree in 2015. She works in neo-traditional, illustrative, fine-line, and realism styles, including nature and Newfoundland subjects.
St. John's · NL
Kayla Gilkinson has tattooed since 2017 and began at Skin City as an apprentice. She combines realism and fine line in colour or black and grey, with an interest in larger floral or botanical pieces, animals, and portraiture.
