Tattooing Experience & Approach
As a young artist during his apprenticeship years, Kyle travelled the tattoo circuit every summer with his first mentors. Watching, learning, and constantly improving on what they taught him. He did work with other mediums other than tattooing, but always came back to what he loved. He spent time designing stained glass windows for churches, illustrations for novels/books, got into sculpture, clay, acrylic and watercolor painting, and did prosthetics (prosthetic props and special effects) for movies/TV. Working his way up while paying his dues taught him a true respect for this industry. He soon surpassed his mentor's talent level, so he was taken under the wing of Dave Long, who is one of the greatest artists left. In 2003, Kyle left his previous studio, Skintastic Tattoo, and Sin on Skin Tattoo Studio was born. Moving upstairs from the previous location on the main level, the studio is now found on the top floor. As one of Halifax's original and longest-running artists, he has been tattooing in the area since the early '90s.
With over 32 years of creating art, Kyle is one of the original artists who broke through stereotypes here in Halifax. He has a design process that has allowed him to create masterpieces that not only fit the body perfectly, but also last for your lifetime! He creates most of his work while you're here; he finds it gives him a better fit and flow when he has his canvas in front of him.

Tattooing in Halifax at Sin on Skin
His numerous radio spots, TV shows, and newspaper articles throughout Canada helped to answer questions about the tattoo process, the industry, sterilization and the art form itself. Many contacted him because his was the 1st and only shop in the Halifax area to be Board of Health Inspected & Recommended. Unfortunately, after the amalgamation, the city no longer performs inspections. Since the beginning, he has ensured his studio held itself up to a higher standard than the Board of Health expected or required. 22 years later, he still holds those same standards true, going above and beyond what's required.
Kyle has spent the last 30 years growing and building the studio into a place clients want to travel to and strive to see when in our beautiful city of Halifax or just visiting the East Coast in general. He has made sure that we've always:

Media, TV shows and Movie projects
Over the years, Kyle has been contacted frequently by media sources like: CTV news, Live at Five, Maritimes Today, Much Music, Global, Chronicle Herald, The Globe and Mail, 20th Century Fox (see Movies & TV) and Q104. Usually, regarding his knowledge of the tattoo industry, artistic ability and his unique temporary tattoo techniques.
Most recently, he was contacted by Kate Schroeder, an Emmy-nominated entertainment news producer from NBC. She is currently working on a separate project, a book detailing the cultural legacy of the Titanic (Publisher: Simon & Schuster). As a part of her research, she wanted to have a conversation with Kyle about his time working with the production and the wonderful Bill Paxton! This book celebrates all of the incredible, detailed work that went into making the film, and we were grateful to give his perspective on it.
Kyle has also been speaking with Julian Abraham, from CANADALAND, trying to figure out WHO or WHAT was behind the mass PCP drugging on the Titanic movie set. We hope he can break the case and finally figure out who was trying to sabotage the 20th Century movie by James Cameron.
