Montréal, a charming metropolis set on an island in the Saint Lawrence River, is Canada’s cultural jewel. This city effortlessly combines European elegance with North American energy, giving it a unique allure. With its French-speaking heart and vibrant arts scene, Montréal embodies a creative spirit that reverberates through its cobblestone streets, sprawling markets, cutting-edge galleries, and lively festivals.
At the core of Montréal’s identity is its celebration of individuality, seen in everything from the eclectic Plateau district to the vibrant murals adorning the city walls. This ethos extends to its dynamic tattoo culture. With premier tattoo shops found across the city, from Saint-Henri to Mile End, Montréal has become a sanctuary for those looking to express their stories through the art of tattooing.
Its tattoo scene is a mirror of the city itself – a blend of old-world charm and contemporary innovation, making Montréal an exciting canvas for those in search of unique and artistic self-expression.

BODKIN TATTOO
Vinnie was an amazing artist, he helped us come up with different designs we were both happy with while listening to exactly what we wanted. It was my son’s first tattoo and he couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The piece turned out better than I could have hoped considering how much line work there is, and the colours are packed in solid…
The picture doesn’t even do it justice, since they are both already bandaged when it was taken.
Overall a great place, with great service, and even better work!! I’ve been tattooed at many great places in different countries, and this place ranks right up there with the rest! Can’t recommend Bodkin or Vinnie enough!
Amanda WI had a great experience with Dominique. She’s very calm and professional. She took the time to insure every step for the success of her art and stayed available throughout the healing process as well. Very cozy vibe and decor in the shop as well. Looking forward to the next masterpieces! 🙂
