Men's Health - Epic Tattoo Stories
|
February 17th 2021
We were surprised to see our studio name mentioned in the Feb edition of Men's Health Online. One of our clients had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and how his tattoo was his acceptance of what he had to go through. An amazing story from an amazing client! We were honored to be able to play a small part in his new found happiness and acceptance by giving him a tattoo that allowed him to finally feel at peace. Thanks Kevin Abraham for allowing us to be part of your journey and your story!! |

Documentary Photography Project on Tattoos
Current social trends and the people who've become part of it
Doug Currie Documentary Project
|
Sin on Skin Tattoo Studio was happy to take part in this fun and educational social media documentary photography project by Doug Currie. Doug came by the studio to spend some time with us and our clients, so he could get first-hand experience of the process of getting a tattoo and who was part of this explosive trend. He spent a few days with each artist and their clients, asking them to tell their story and what made them get the tattoo they were presently sitting for. Blaze a chef and musician, was getting his Phoenix rising from a frying pan on his chest. While Taylor was getting a piece to represent her past/childhood, a scenic tattoo showing the view from her childhood home. Every tattoo tells a different story, that's why we love our job so much!!! |
The Wolfville Grapevine ~ A local paper in Wolfville, NS ~ Dec 11th 2014 issue
When a new client told us she was approached by a writer for the local Wolfville paper; The Grapevine, we were thrilled for her. Cassaundra had just had a beautiful rose shoulder piece done by Eldrick and was sitting at a local cafe when approached. She was asked if she would mind telling her story and allowing them to take a few pictures for their "Show me your Ink" section on page 18 in the Dec 11th 2014 issue of the paper. After agreeing and having her picture taken ,she gave a quick interview for their upcoming issue. She was beyond happy with her soft pink roses and even happier to show them off for all to see.
Halifax Has A Heart
#Halifaxhasaheart duration of event Nov 2013-Dec 23rd 2013
Local Family needs your support this Holiday Season. Every year it gets harder and harder to provide the things your family may want and need during the Christmas season. We at Sin on Skin feel this time of year is hard enough without the added stress this poor local family now faces...
Imagine having your world turned upside down at Christmas by finding out your husband and family provider was just put on life support, you work a part time job with 3 mouths to feed and Christmas coming up as well as all the bills that go along with everyday life, knowing there's no way you can do it all.. On a part time income, she knows she can't give her 3 kids: a boy 12 and 2 girls 8 and 14, the Christmas she wants for them, so that's where Sin on Skin and YOU can step in.
Sin on Skin Tattoo Studio in Halifax is asking all the good people here to find it in their hearts to help this young family make it through this season and try to give them all something to smile about. A young mother with 3 children can't go without her husband and lose Christmas for her children on top of everything. We are excepting donations of FOOD, gift card's clothes/necessities, TOYS for the children, and of course a financial contribution if you can. We will be receiving items until Dec 23rd at 4:00 to ensure anyone who wishes to contribute will have time to do so. We've also received some beautiful handcrafted pieces of jewelry to auction off at the private event being held to raise money for the family in mid-Dec. We're open to any auction items you may want to donate to the upcoming event.
There has been over $500.00 raised for the family's debt, a few toys have been generously given by Cassandra Francis, one of our clients Kelly Baylis- Smith has donated $100.00's in household necessities items that the family will be so happy to receive and to top it off a wonderful local business has donated all the food needed for her and her family to have an amazing Christmas Dinner!!!!
Please contact us through our website, email, Facebook, or Twitter to go over any donations you may have or to arrange a pick up if needed. All items can be dropped off at our downtown Halifax Studio at 5239 Blowers Street- top floor unit, Monday-Saturday 12:00-6:00 daily.

We were so excited to see one of Kyle's clients in the BB house this year showing off his incredible work. Our client Emmett Blois was one of the house guests fighting for the title of Canada's first Big Brother winner. If you tuned in you'll know he almost made it to the end, final 3, before being evicted by Gary Glitter. Who ultimately lost the title to Emmett's showmance Gillian.
Check out the BB official web-page for Big Brother Canada info and news. Glad you brought so many tank tops to show off your work Emmett! |

CBC Radio Canada - May 16th 2012
We were contacted by CBC Radio with questions on medical tattoos and their popularity among Canadians. Medical bracelet tattoos are becoming very popular among those who suffer from metal allergies and can not wear the traditional bracelet. Also for those in the military, having your blood type tattooed can be a life saver in many over seas situations. Canadian Medical Journal - February 2012
Sin on Skin was contacted in February 2012 to take part in an upcoming article about medical tattoos.

Q104 Radio station ~ $25,000 contest
The boys all had fun with this contest. The first was Scott when he did a surprise piercing for one of the contestants - needless to say it was a long ride home on his scooter - very bumpy!
Mission #1 -Prince Albert "Scotty the Impaler"
Kyle's challenge was to create a tattoo for a contestant to get done - without ever seeing the tattoo of course! I think he may have been in shock when he first saw it - not the Q104 logo he was expecting.
Mission #8 - The Tramp Stamp "Kyle LeBlanc"
