🖤 20 YEARS OF TATTOOING. ONE HELL OF A JOURNEY.

Where did the time go?! 😅

In 2027, I’ll be celebrating 20 years of professional tattooing, and honestly, it’s hard to put into words what that milestone means to me.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of tattooing so many incredible people, hearing your stories, creating meaningful pieces, working through challenging cover-ups, and helping bring ideas to life that sometimes started as nothing more than a little sketch or a thought.

Johanimation Tattooing wouldn’t be what it is today without every single person who has trusted me with their ideas, their stories, and their skin.

So, to celebrate 20 years of doing what I love, I wanted to give something back. 🖤

🔥 INTRODUCING THE JOHANIMATION 20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL! 🔥

For tattoo appointments scheduled in JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2027:

🎉 BOOK 3 HOURS OF TATTOOING — GET THE 4TH HOUR FREE! 🎉

That means more time to work on that custom piece, continue an existing project, tackle a cover-up, or bring more of your ideas to life.

A few important details:

▪️ A $114 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment.
▪️ Appointments must be scheduled for January or February 2027 to qualify.
▪️ If you need to reschedule, at least 48 hours' notice is required to transfer your deposit; late changes or missed appointments may result in forfeiture.
▪️ Availability is limited, so plan ahead!

Whether you've been collecting tattoos from me for years or you've been thinking about getting your first piece at Johanimation Tattooing, I'd love to help you bring your next idea to life.

This isn't just about celebrating a number. It's about celebrating the people, the stories, the artwork, and the relationships that have made these 20 years possible.

Thank you for being part of the journey. Here's to the next chapter! 🖤

Sometimes a cover-up isn't about hiding the past — it's about creating something new from it.

This Daruma was a really rewarding cover-up to work on.

The Japanese Daruma is traditionally associated with perseverance, determination, resilience, and achieving your goals — and I think that makes it a pretty fitting symbol for a piece like this.

Cover-ups can be challenging. You're working with something that's already there, figuring out what can be incorporated, what needs to disappear, and how to create a new design that feels intentional rather than simply covering what's underneath.

BUT..... that's also what makes them so satisfying.
Taking an old tattoo that someone may have grown tired of or no longer connected with, and turning it into something they're excited to look at again, is one of the things I really enjoy about tattooing.

This is one of those pieces where the before and after really tell the story.

If you've got an old tattoo you've been thinking about covering, don't assume it can't be done. Every situation is different, and sometimes it just takes the right concept and some creative planning.
And if you've been thinking about getting something new this month, my August Customer Appreciation Giveaway is still running.

Some tattoos are more than just tattoos.

Every memorial piece tells a story that deserves to be treated with care and respect.

Whether it's a portrait of someone you've lost, a handwritten note, a meaningful date,a paw print🐾, or a symbol that keeps their memory close, these tattoos often become some of the most important pieces I'll ever create.

It's a privilege to be trusted with something so personal. I know these aren't just images—they represent love, loss, memories, and the people who helped shape our lives.
Its an honour to be a a part of their healing peocess.

These are a few memorial tattoos I've had the honour of creating over the years, and each one carries its own unique story. Please scroll through.

If you've been thinking about creating a memorial tattoo but aren't sure where to start, I'm always happy to sit down, listen to your ideas, and help design something meaningful that you'll be proud to wear for a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with these deeply personal pieces. It truly means more than you know.

Back from my first tattoo convention… and what a weekend it was.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth, watched me work, shared a conversation, or trusted me with a tattoo. It was an incredible experience meeting so many talented artists and amazing clients, and I'm grateful to have been a part of the Maiden Cape Breton Tattoo Expo.

Now it's time to get back to the studio.

I've opened up August appointments, and to celebrate the support from the convention and everyone who's continued to support Johanimation Tattooing over the years, every tattoo appointment booked during August will automatically be entered into my Client Appreciation Giveaway.

🎉 One lucky client will receive 2 HOURS OF TATTOO TIME (approximately a $350 value).

No extra steps. Simply book your appointment during August and you're entered.

Whether you're ready to start a large custom piece, add to an existing project, or finally get that tattoo you've been planning, I'd love to help bring your idea to life.

Thank you again for the continued support. It truly means the world.

I'm heading to my first tattoo convention this week, and I couldn't be more excited.

I'm honoured to be attending the Maiden Cape Breton Tattoo Expo and sharing a booth with my friend and fellow artist, Jamie MacKay of Sacred Temple Tattoos. It's an incredible opportunity to connect with talented artists, meet amazing people, and continue learning and growing in the craft I love.

If you're attending the expo, stop by and say hello—I always enjoy meeting new faces, talking tattoos, and connecting with the community.

When I return home, I'll have a limited number of appointments available before the end of July. If you've been thinking about starting a new piece or finally booking that tattoo you've been planning, this is a great opportunity before my August schedule fills up.

At Johanimation Tattooing, every tattoo begins with listening. My goal is to create artwork you'll be proud to wear while making sure you feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely valued throughout the entire experience.

I look forward to seeing some of you this weekend—and when I get back, let's create something meaningful together.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up about a recent experience. I completed a tattoo for a client last week who has not paid the remaining balance after their deposit. I've reached out several times over the past week to resolve the issue, but I've received conflicting explanations and the balance still hasn't been paid.

I'm sharing this simply to make other artists aware and hopefully prevent someone else from ending up in the same situation. We all work hard for our craft and deserve to be paid for the time, effort, and skill we put into our work.
This is how I feed my family, pay my bills. I hoped it wouldn't come to this but im at a loss on what to do, and I wouldn't want other artists to get ripped off either.

Clients name was Chris Caldwell (from Kentville area)

Important Update Regarding Appointments & Payments

Due to a recent situation where a completed tattoo has still not been paid for beyond the initial deposit, I have made the difficult decision to update my booking policy.

Effective immediately, all appointments booked through my online booking system will require a valid credit card or Visa Debit card to secure the appointment. Your card will not be charged at the time of booking. It will only be used if required deposits or outstanding balances are not paid in accordance with my booking policy.

This is not a change I wanted to make. Unfortunately, situations like this have made it necessary to better protect my business. Using a card processing service also comes with additional costs, but it is a step I now need to take.

As a self-employed tattoo artist operating a private studio, this is my livelihood. My business is how I support myself and my family, pay my bills, and continue providing a safe, professional, and welcoming experience for every client. Just as you wouldn't leave another business without paying for the services or products you've received, I ask that the same respect be shown here.

To all of my amazing clients who have supported me over the years and have always respected my policies—thank you. Your trust and support mean more than you know.

I appreciate everyone's understanding as I continue doing what's necessary to protect my business while providing the best possible experience for every client.
