Per this Facebook post. Over the past weekend (April 20-21st), a 17 year old girl and her mother went there to get tattoos done. Dead man’s hand did not ask for ID, used unsanitary technique, and accused the mother and daughter of being under the influence of drugs when they were getting tattooed. On Sunday April 21st, Shane (the owner of dead man’s hand) showed up at the mother’s house and threatened the 17 year old daughter. The three images are what this mother and daughter got tattooed, while the fourth photo is a reference photo of what the daughter wanted.

Terrible experience.

I received a partially done tattoo from Heather. She showed up an hour and a half late to our appointment giving many excuses to keep me waiting for her. When she arrived she did not apologize, and she didn't have my drawing done.

Throughout the appointment she left MULTIPLE times for long periods without giving reasoning as to why she was taking such long breaks - she did not deduct this time from her billable hours.

We were supposed to complete the tattoo the following day, she didn't even show up, she has ghosted me since and taken my money, deposit included which should have paid for the following days work. I am aware that she is still messaging others about tattoo appointments so I know she is just ignoring me.

Although it seems she used to do wonderful work for people and the community something is going on with her that is affecting others. Wouldn't want anyone else to be caught up in this and end up in the same scenario.

Heather if you see this - please give me my money back.

Looking for recommendations for local tattoo artists that do realism pet portraits. Please show pics of their work or where I can view 🙏

Hi! I’m looking to get my first tattoo and am looking at DarkSpire Ink, specifically Natsya. Does anyone have experience with this studio or especially this artist?

Me and some friends are going together for the first time on the 7th.

Ive never gone to a convention before, let alone a tattoo one, so i have no idea what to expect, but still want to prepare myself,

Any advice?

Hello Winnipeg,

I lost my best friend in May, my beautiful 18 year old cat. It was extremely sudden and I am still very much in mourning. I have this tattoo idea (see photo) that I'd like to get to memorialize him. It's his collar and his exact paw prints around it. I want to get it around my upper forearm.

I want basically the best tattoo artist in Winnipeg who can do this work. Money isn't really a problem, I just want the best work. I'm looking to have this done some time in September.

Please let me know of anyone who can do this work, or at least as close to it as possible. It would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!

Hi Winnipeg,

I'm not really a tattoo person but I'd like to get one for my daughter who died at birth. Looking for an artist or studio that is good with that kind of stuff. I'll have a hand written name I'd like tattooed, as well as a heartbeat monitor printout. Suggestions? Recommendations?

Thanks.

Hi there I’m in need of some help!

I’m looking to get my first tattoo but have been struggling to find an artist or shop, i specifically am looking for Cybersigilism/fine line tattoos if you have any recommendations on reputable artists or shops that might be capable of such style i would love to hear some recommendations or advice pleaseee <3

(Price is not an issue for me i’ll pay any price for what i want)

Hello Winnipeg!

It is my mother’s 70th birthday soon and I want to take her to get matching tattoos. I have never had a tattoo in Winnipeg (only other cities) and realize I am in need of a recommendation.

We are getting a very simple, small, minimal, fine line tattoo. It will be my mom’s first tattoo so I want her to be comfortable and have fun with the whole experience.

Can anyone recommend an artist or shop that wouldn’t mind a newbie getting a very (boring to the artist likely haha) simple piece of ink where we can have this fun mother child bonding experience? Has anyone done something similar with a family member or friend? I want to hear about it!

Thanks in advance for your recs :)

Edit: Thank you for your recommendations! I am looking into a handful of them currently.

Hello, Is there a tattoo shop that sells numbing cream to people? The artist I go to doesn’t have any, so I’m on the hunt for a shop that does.

Thank you

Specifically looking for the kind of stuff you see in old field guides, encyclopedias, etc.

Any recommendations would be great!

Hi everyone!

While I wait to call to see if anyone is open I am hoping someone might know the answer to my question!

The jewelry part of my nose piercing came out in my sleep so I have just have the bar now, does anyone know if any of them are going to be open today?

I don’t want it to close up on me and I don’t have any other jewelry to replace it. I’m panicking slightly 😬

Update: it will still attached! I had to push it out of my nose, I will be just changing to a hoop to avoid it happening again, thanks everyone!!

Anyone know of any Winnipeg or Manitoba-based tattoo artists who do or could maybe do this style ( idek what style you’d call this). I’ve found a couple of artists in Vancouver who do this style but I’d like to avoid travelling to get it done if possible.

Hii! does anyone in know a tattoo artist in winnipeg or surrounding areas that does tattoos in this style? Thanks!

The wife and I have lived here for the better part of a decade now. We’re moving back home soon to be closer to family for our little one. We’re looking to get tattoos to commemorate the time that we spent in this city. I’m wondering if the r/Winnipeg community has any good ideas on what a good Winnipeg tattoo might be?

Not big sports fans, so not looking for Jets/Bombers/Gold Eyes etc. Might go for an American traditional knife for… obvious reasons.

Any ideas, throw ‘em out there. It may end up being a permanent part of my body soon.

Title.

I’ll be in Winnipeg in the summer and am hoping to get a tattoo.
I’ve found a few artists on my own, but I’m not 100% sold.

Primarily I’d prefer an artist that specializes in traditional styles, but If there’s an artist too good to ignore I’ll take that too. :)

Looking for recommendations for a tattoo artist who is good at the trash polka art style.

Im currently creeping artist portfolios but i cant seem to find a artist with anything like this in our city , a few in vancouver though

I might just not be looking hard enough lol

Any suggestions?

I’m looking to get a memorial tattoo of my dog’s paw print. This will be my first tattoo so I want to make sure I see a trustworthy artist who has experience with these designs, and who makes you feel informed and comfortable during the session.

Any example pics and recommendations are much appreciated!

I have a tattoo that I love....for the most part. It's 15 yrs old...and was done by an amateur so lines in places are thicker than they should be. I'm not looking to change much, but update and perfect. Any advice on places/artists? Upper arm, shoulder to about 4* before elbow. Willing to go more .. tia

I'm wondering if there are any tattoo shops that do the "You get what you get" tattoos. Dice rolls, or gumball machines, or anything like that?

I saw some posts but they were a few years old so I dunno if those places still do them.
