On Saturday I went for my first tattoo in 22 years, two tattoos later, it was a new beginning . Doug, the owner, operator and tattooist at Hellbender Ink Village in smithville Ontario took some photos of my old crappy tattoos to work on a few cover ups for me, yay!!! , I am also going to get my Minnie Mouse tattoo fixed up too! I could see adding to both the feet as well it is still addictive! 22 years between tattoos and hooked again after two tiny tats! Thanks so again much to Doug from Hellbender Ink Village in Smithville. He is well spoken, well informed, very thorough and made sure we were aware of every step of the process which involved rigorous plastic wrapping of non disposable equipment like electricals cords and using all new surgically sealed equipment well within its use by date. Although the process was very sterile Doug is a pleasant and sociable man who quickly makes you feel as if you have known him for years and his shop is a clean, relaxed environment where you feel like you are spending time with an old friend. His work is exceptional, especially is animal/pet portraits and we were lucky enough to have the owner of one of those pet tattoos stop in while we were there so we could see Doug's other work first hand not just in photos or online.
