It was a great convention, and I’m thrilled to brag that I picked up 1st place realism with a portrait of James Dean

I had a great time and am already looking forward to going back next year. And a big thank you to Jamie MacKay for getting me out there in the first place. Loved working with you dude!

Hello hello! It’s finally Spring! (though looking out the window today you’d never be able to tell I’m pretty excited to shed the winter hermiting and be outside taking in some fresh air. Soon!

So I’ve got a small line up planned for anyone who’s into the convention circuits and who might like to get tattooed at one.
-I’ll be At Nephty’s in Sherbrooke doing a guest spot April 13th/14th. I believe there’s still some time available if anyone in that neck of the woods would like some work.
-Looking forward to the Halifax Tattoo Convention in May, where I’ll be sharing a booth with one of my favourite portrait artists Jamie MacKay! So excited for that weekend, it’s looking like an amazing line-up of artists will be at this one! More details here: http://www.maritimetattoofestival.com/
-And of course, the ever wonderful Montreal Tattoo Convention coming up in September. http://www.arttattoomontreal.com/

So with summer just around the corner I’m getting busier but if your looking to get some art done here in Montreal, shoot me an email or give me a call at 514-768-7598 and I’d be thrilled to sit down for a personal one on one consultation with you to go over your future art piece and of course answer any questions you may have

p.s I’m sad to say I will not be taking new consultation in Ottawa for the foreseeable future. If you have a piece thats unfinished and would like continued I will of course slot you in but keep in mind I do need a bit of advanced notice as my bookings are currently in to June there on my monthly guest spot slots.

Hey everyone. Happy belated holidays in passing! It was a nice one for me, quiet and family and friends filled. Best kind

So I’m really excited and proud to post this! My Boris Vallejo tattoo I completed last September made it’s way to BME!

Woo!! Really proud of that, and I hope it’ll bring some more fun pieces out of the wood works. I’d love to do more pieces like this.

As for whats coming, I’ve got some plans in the works, but for now look forward to some new pieces being posted soon, and some changes to the site. Lots of good things in the works

So it’s been a few months, and I can happily update that it’s been a fun and interesting transition!
I’m settled in and enjoying working. And happy to report that though I am booked here and there, I still have lots of time available for anyone looking to get tattooed If your here in Montreal or willing to travel, no more three month wait for an appointment!

The Montreal Convention was a great time and I’m already looking forward to next year. Got to finish up a piece I’ve really enjoyed working on. To see it just go to my Colour Tattoos and it’s the first in the list, entitled Boris. It’s a reproduction of a fantasy illustration by Boris Vallejo called “Forever Moments”.

I’m currently traveling around working at Nephty Tattoo in Sherbrooke, and still at Living Colour in Ottawa, and of course here in Montreal. Really enjoying working with so many different artists, and all great people

Well, thats it for now… Shoot me an email for an appointment, it’ll be my pleasure to discuss your future tattoo~

Hey everyone

Thanks for being so patient, I finally have things more figured out so I can give some legitimate and useful updates!

So as of July I’ll be working in Montreal city itself. I’m really going to miss always being at LC but I’m pretty stoked for the changes.

I also now have a contact email for anyone who wants to book appointments, though again, I’ll only be booking appointments as of June 1st for July onwards.  Phone numbers will follow soon.  But feel free to shoot me an email in the meantime at tattoosbyerika@gmail.com

And lastly I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the support and well wishes.  I’m excited for the future changes, but I’ll always makes myself available for anyone who really wants to get tattooed by me, be it in Montreal or Ottawa.  And once I get my current projects finished up in Ottawa I’ll be happy to take new appointments on the dates I’ll be popping by Living Colour!  So just keep an eye on this page for more updates!

p.s. I’ll be adding a bunch of new pictures soon, and a few new galleries, including an In-Progress page, and a mixed media art gallery!

It’s time to go public. It’s been an amazing 5 years but it’s time to uproot once again. In July I’ll be moving back to Montreal. I’m working full time at Living Colour until the end of June, and I have May and June  still open so if you want to get tattooed, nows the time!

I’ll be working in and around Montreal, as well as working 6 days a month back here at Living colour, but I unfortunately won’t be taking new customers on as of mid April in Ottawa.   For any of my past and current customers, all pieces will be finished and of course if you would like to book after June I will be listing the dates I’ll be working in Ottawa in advance.
Check back here to see where and when I’ll be tattooing in Ottawa/Montreal/conventions.

Well, the holidays are finally over and I have 5 minutes to say thank you to everyone who made it to the sale, it was a fun day and I think it’s safe to say we all had a great time putting it together.  Looking forward to another one next year!  :)
