STUDIO DE TATOUAGE / TATTOO STUDIO
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.

A LOOK INTO THEIR WORLD
CREATIVE CONNECTIONS
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
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.

Chris Kelly primarily works in black-and-grey traditional tattooing and is presented for particularly clean linework, while also taking on colour pieces. Before joining Elite he tattooed in Marystown, and his current biography says he now returns there for guest trips.
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
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
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
Kyle Reid specializes in old-school traditional tattooing and, according to Elite, also has a strong eye for fine-line design. He apprenticed under Amelia Rice and draws on an arts background that also includes music.
St. John's · NL
Miguel Rowe appears on Elite's team page with an individual gallery and two professional Instagram accounts linked through the site's roster card and portfolio modal. Because that modal publishes no specialty biography, no style is inferred from the images.
St. John's · NL
Taylor Davis appears simultaneously on the current Perfection and Elite rosters in St. John's. Perfection describes dark, gothic-inspired blackwork and attributes fourteen works, an email, and @vile0ne to Taylor; Elite publishes ten additional references, roughly two years of practice, and @vile1ink. Both professional profiles remain attached to one identity without assuming that either affiliation or account replaced the other.
St. John's · NL
Vicki Stapleton has roughly two decades of tattooing experience according to her Elite profile. The studio highlights her ability to handle difficult cover-ups and her preference for bold, colourful anime and neo-traditional compositions.
St. John's · NL
Zahi Mzhr appears on Elite's current team page with a professional Instagram account and an attributed individual gallery. The site does not publish a written biography in the profile modal, so the record retains work references without inferring a specialty.
