Tuan Nguyen
Hi, my name is T, originally from a small fishing village in Vietnam, I've been tattooing nature-inspired Realism work and Japanese- Asian style tattoos for over 7 years.
I focus on larger custom pieces, working in both black and grey and colour. I believe in having an open dialogue with my clients to understand the narrative behind each project, allowing me to create a tattoo that not only brings their vision to life but also compliment's my overall body of work.
I strive to focus on details, textures and composition of the designs bringing spectacular art pieces on bodies. I’m always happy to take on new clients and offer consultations for projects of all sizes. Please reach out to me at: Gmail: t.ottawa.tattoo@gmail.com

James here! I found my love for art back home in a small village, surrounded by the rigid mountains of Cymru (Wales). From hobbyist to illustrator to now tattooing at my first shop: the 18th ink, my passion for art has guided me throughout.
Specializing in illustration, I take inspiration from a range of historical art from medieval manuscripts to 20th-century children’s books. I love combining elements of line-work, dot-work, and cross-hatching to create pieces that balance depth and visual storytelling.

Celina Phan
Hey there, I’m Celina. My experience as an animator & watercolour artist has led me to develop a versatile skill set with the ability to tattoo a variety of styles and subjects. I have a special love for micro realism and fine line, but I'm happy to work with clients to bring a wide range of ideas to life. I enjoy working with clients to create original, unique tattoo designs that hold special meaning for them.
I strive to create a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable tattooing experience for all of my clients because I believe the best art can only be created when everyone can express themselves openly.
