Choose Flash Or Custom Tattoos Toronto

By Judy Sullivan


As many women as men sport tats nowadays. Your doctor and the businessman in suit and tie are often hiding a tat. Ink has become a fashion statement that tells a story. Today more tattoos Toronto are done as custom work than flash. Often flash is a starting point for a custom designed tattoo that tells a story.

Stop by for a consultation before making a decision. This is especially important if you want an original piece of art permanently written on your skin. Ask about safety and health precautions. Ask the tattooer about his/her experience. Ask to see a portfolio of work the artist has already done.

Flash are the mass-produced, copyrighted designs. Stores will have these prominently displayed. Popular flash tats are a heart often including the name of someone special, a cross, an anchor (represents stability), zodiac signs, family tree, cultural and patriotic symbols, a butterfly, a bird, a musical note, a flower, the infinity symbol. Most have a meaning. Many have different meanings to different cultures.

Memorials for a deceased loved one are a timeless favorite. Also popular today are script pieces expressing religion, faith, character traits, words of wisdom and inspiration on this strange journey of life. A recent favorite for men is a tat of the family name, usually written in Olde English script. Artistic tattooists can reproduce a realistic portrait as an ink tattoo.

Tattoos can also be permanent makeup to enhance eyebrows, lips, or eyes. They can hide or neutralize skin discolorations. They cover surgical scars, burns, birthmarks, even recreate nipples on reconstructed breasts. Find an artist who has experience in the medical tatting you need.

Once primarily used to identify gang membership, tats today are just as often used to identify cultural affiliations and family sentiments. Some identify with lifestyle logos like Harley Davidson, Budweiser, Corona, Chevrolet, Ford, and Volkswagen. Some find tats sexually attractive. Tats can be an expression of a personal journey. For some they're a fashion statement and/or artistic expression. Some still get their 1st tat as an impulsive act of rebellion.

Reality shows of tattoo artists and competitions have de-mystified the process. Every June, Northern Ink Xposure, also called the NIX show, assembles vendors and artists in Toronto for competition and a celebration of the art of tattooing. Only professional vendors are accepted. This is a good place to see artists in action, to see the process, and the possibilities.

When designing and choosing placement of your tat, keep in mind that it's permanent. Choose symbols that will have a lifelong meaning. Many a tat can easily be hidden under a blouse or shirt. Tats placed visibly on knuckles and hands are often called "job stoppers". Too much visible individual expression can cause employers to question your "team skills".

Thirty-eight percent of 18-29 year old's have at least one tattoo. Even 15% of baby boomers have tattoos. It's almost become a rite of passage. Hundreds of stores offer tattoos Toronto. No longer dark dens only sailors and the criminal element enter, as many women as men sport ink pieces. Shops are visited by doctors, lawyers, businessmen and women, nurses, college students, even senior citizens.
