Sin on Skin Tattoo Studio: in the Media, on TV shows and in Movie projects

Over the years, Kyle has been sought out by a wide range of media outlets—including CTV News, Global News, The Globe and Mail, and MuchMusic—for his expertise in the tattoo industry, his artistic talent, and his innovative temporary tattoo techniques. His work has also drawn attention from major entertainment companies like 20th Century Fox, reflecting the unique niche he has carved out in both art and film.

​

Most recently, Kyle was contacted by Kate Schroeder, an Emmy-nominated entertainment news producer with NBC. She is currently developing a book on the cultural legacy of Titanic, to be published by Simon & Schuster. As part of her research, she interviewed Kyle about his experience working on the film and his memories of collaborating with the late Bill Paxton. The project highlights the immense craftsmanship and behind-the-scenes effort that brought the film to life, and Kyle was honored to contribute his firsthand perspective.

In addition, Kyle has been in discussions with CANADALAND journalist Julian Abraham, who is investigating one of the strangest and most enduring mysteries tied to the production: the mass PCP drugging incident on set. Decades later, questions remain about who—or what—was responsible for the sabotage attempt during the making of Titanic, directed by James Cameron for 20th Century Fox.
