Michael “Mike” Seymour is a Studio Maxx co-owner focused on large-scale custom black-and-grey work while taking on a broader range of projects. Two current official surfaces differ on his tenure—the studio roster says seventeen years, while his professional Instagram says twenty-three—so the record explicitly preserves that conflict.
Toronto · ON
Mika is named as a tattoo artist on the official artists page, which describes work rooted in black and grey tattooing with expressive line work alongside an interest in exploring colour within illustrative designs. Her profile also records a background in animation and film at OCAD University and a creative world deeply rooted in anime, pop culture and fandom aesthetics. The anime entry rests on that creative-influence statement and is flagged accordingly.

His roster card attributes realism, illustrative work, black work, fine line, anime, neo-traditional, cover-ups and colour realism to him, and his bio adds black-and-grey realism and says he is from Colombia and now works in Kelowna.
