About Valerie (Val)
I am GTA born and raised, and I graduated HSTA in 2014 with a Visual and Creative Arts Diploma with a specialty in Drawing and Painting. With over six years of fulltime tattooing experience, my work is rooted in black and grey realism with a strong emphasis on mixing styles to create dynamic, custom pieces. From animals and skulls to organic and natural elements, I take pride in building tattoos that flow, hit hard, and hold up over time.
No matter the concept, my goal is always the same: clean design, strong execution, and turning your idea into something you are proud to wear.
