Wright Ink & Artwork
From the artist;
I've been a tattoo artist since 2015. After 2 years in an apprenticeship, I was offered to take over Full Circle Tattoos in Regina, SK as our artists shifted. Since then, I've been a shop owner, launching Wright Ink & Artwork, in August of 2018.
Through the years, with my home base being Thunder Bay, I traveled back and forth, helping artists build their careers, and keeping the shop afloat.
My first year back home, I rented a room from Creation, which helped me build a clientele list. Then in 2018, I turned my home into a private studio. It wasn't until 2022 did I take on more artists, launching a move to a larger downtown location- from there Metsä began November 2022.
However, as Wright Ink & Artwork’s shop in Regina has already been re-branded to Black Bog so I can search for heart and home, it is time to forge a new pathway in Thunder Bay.
Starting October 17th, 2024 I will be returning to my private home studio, and for the first time in 7 years, operating as a solo artist, and as an apprentice into new skill-sets.
Thank you to every single client, to every single artist that came through my doors, and for every gift, every lesson, and for every new level of growth.
