He has tattooed in Kamloops since 2009 following a three-year apprenticeship, and also paints canvases and murals. The studio says realism is a strong point of his work, which he applies to custom pieces using forced perspective, negative space and body flow. His own portfolio captions explicitly attribute black and grey, watercolour, new school, cover-up, floral, lettering, portrait and biomechanical work to him.

Devon Coppin is a current Zen Tattoo Studio artist with an exact individual profile.

Vancouver · BC
Dmitriy is labelled senior artist on his Van Tattoo profile page, which lists fine line and black and grey realism as his specialties and a rate of $180 per hour. His roster entry states that he has worked exclusively in black and grey since 2011 and enumerates his own sub-specialties, naming black and grey realism, portraits, micro realism, and work with geometric and font elements. He also runs tattoo education and courses, and his biography records work across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Poland before Vancouver.
Saskatoon · SK
Dominique has tattooed regularly since spring 2022 after starting an apprenticeship in November 2020. The Honey Bee profile names neo-traditional, traditional, and portrait work, with a preference for heavier lines, and directs inquiries and bookings to a professional website.
Sainte-Catherine · QC
The current official page identifies Don as a tattoo artist; each retained style is explicitly attributed to this person.
Gander · NL
Dream Deep Ink is a Gander studio currently documented at Town Square, 73 Elizabeth Drive. Its primary Squarespace domain has expired, but a live UENI business page, a recent open-map record, and activity tied to its Google profile corroborate continued operation; UENI's older 71 address and an old directory phone number are not retained. Recently indexed official sources confirm Justin Anstey, Sid Stead, and Haley Skinner as tattoo practitioners, with different client-access terms by artist. Reviews, reviewer identities, and aggregates are not copied, and no imagery is retained until the former galleries can be revalidated.
Bay Roberts · NL
Erik Sigurdson is named as a tattoo artist on Frontier's official Bay Roberts roster. His professional page explicitly describes black-and-grey work blending realism with abstract elements, including detailed portraits and minimalist designs; only black and grey, realism, portrait, and minimalist are therefore indexed as styles. No individual social profile or direct contact was confirmed, and his six works remain permission-required references to the official site.
Kelowna · BC
Evil Genius Tattoo Kelowna is a tattoo studio in Kelowna, British Columbia. Its official site mentions or presents work in anime and manga, black and grey, dotwork and fine line. A public booking link is available in the verified contact details.

Grande Prairie · AB
Fine Lines Tattoo Studio is a tattoo studio at 9810 102 Street in downtown Grande Prairie, Alberta, operating out of a 1918 heritage house. Its current website presents seven tattoo artists: founder and senior artist Ali Montgomery, senior artist Samantha Storey, artists Amber Schadeck, Jade Lypkie, Aimée Perry and Khloe Schnepf, and apprentice Patricia Taylor. Consultations run online through the studio's Facebook page or the individual artist's Instagram, a non-refundable deposit secures each appointment, and the studio states it does not take bookings by phone. The studio also says every artist holds a blood-borne pathogens certificate.
Bay Roberts · NL
Frontier Tattoo Studio is an appointment-only Bay Roberts shop currently listing tattoo artists Erik Sigurdson, Sara J, and Ri; Renee Sigurdson provides piercing and is therefore not added to the tattoo-artist roster. The official site publishes the address, contacts, team, and an attributed eighteen-work gallery. The Association of Professional Piercers locator lists Renee as a Business Member at this address, which is a professional piercing-association signal rather than regulatory approval of tattooing. Exact Google Maps and Facebook Recommendations destinations are retained without copying reviews or aggregates, and every gallery image requires permission before reuse.
Toronto · ON
Gaja combines illustration, botanicals, and anime culture. Her work uses precise fine lines and soft shading for florals, Ghibli-inspired scenes, and character portraits with a hand-drawn quality.

Gallery Custom Tattoo Shop is a tattoo studio in Ottawa, Ontario. Its official site mentions or presents work in black and grey and portrait. A public booking link is available in the verified contact details.
Toronto · ON
Geoffrey Wong is the only tattoo artist named on 46 Tattoo's current roster page, which titles his card owner and black-and-grey expert.

Consultations with him are requested through the studio's free-consultation page.
Toronto · ON
Hanok Studio is a tattoo studio at 59 Berkeley Street in Toronto. Current official sources confirm eight resident artists—47VOLT, O.ONE, ROKYEOM, MIGO, STEVEN, UMZII, MINTAE, and PINK MAYO—plus TAEGO and IRO as current artists without assigning them an unconfirmed resident status. Explicitly attributed specialties across this team include blackwork, black and grey, realism, geometric work, fine line, micro realism, portrait, illustrative, anime, and colour. Toronto BodySafe published a Pass result dated February 17, 2026, and the website provides public booking and consultation paths.
Toronto · ON
Heartless Ink is a tattoo studio in unit 122 at 171 East Liberty Street in Toronto. Its current website advertises black and grey realism, colour realism, cover-ups, Japanese, micro realism, floral and fine line tattoos, and offers free design consultations. General navigation points to the Book Now consultation page, while the current team page names seven tattoo artists — Esteban, Danny, Daga, Daniel, Cayms, Hoscar and Tommy — each with a dedicated booking route. Older pages that remain published retain historical names, but they predate the mutually consistent current surfaces. Six operations staff are presented separately and are not counted as tattoo artists. No piercing or permanent makeup is advertised. A separate page outside the current navigation also offers in-house laser tattoo removal, which is recorded as a note rather than as a directory service.
Vancouver · BC
Heather Drew's official profile lists her on the current team and describes realism and portrait work, including animal portraits. It also mentions refined micro tattoos, technical wording that is not converted into a `micro_realism` specialty.
