Immerse yourself in a world where your skin becomes a masterpiece!
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 man/tattoo 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.
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.
