Artists

Amelia Rice (@tattoosbyamelia) has been tattooing for two and a half years, with a preference for black and grey realism and illustrative, specialising in fineline tattooing. Amelia is also a collector of oddities, which shows in a lot of her flash designs.

Vicki Stapleton (she.tattoos.709) has been a tattoo artist for 20 years this coming april, and has been called the Cover-Up Queen for her ability to cover just about anything. Her preference, however, is for bold and colourful anime and neo-traditional tattoos.

Gerald (@gbest193) is a true artist at heart, he has a rich background in creating stunning portraits and urban art with spray paint and brushwork. Now, he’s diving into the world of tattooing, experimenting with various styles and techniques to find his unique artistic voice. He’s been tattooing under the expert guidance of Bill for the past year as an apprentice.

Bill (@grumpy_wizard_arts) has been tattooing since 2007. He specializes in jaw-dropping black and grey realism, with a dash of color occasionally. When he’s not in the studio, you’ll find him painting epic figurative and mythological scenes.

Chris (@scabbombs)specializes in Black and Grey traditional tattoos. He is known for his extremely clean lines. While he prefers black and grey work, he does thrive with color work, too! He has been with us almost two years, before he had been tattooing solo in his hometown of Marystown where he now does guest trips!

Kyle (@ruckreid) specializes in old school traditional tattoo style. He apprenticed under Amelia and has an amazing eye for fine line design as well. Kyle has a long list of artists backgrounds from art to music. He tends to favor the traditional tattoos and would love to do more of those types of projects in the near future.

Clara (@hexatats) is a newer apprentice with Elite. She is in her first year of tattooing. Working to build her portfolio, she offers tons of great flash deals as well as does smaller custom tattoos.

Ilona (@odri.tattoo.st.johns) is a passionate tattoo and permanent makeup artist who has been perfecting her craft since 2019. Known for her delicate floral designs and refined graphic work, Ilona’s tattoos beautifully capture elegance and subtlety. In her approach to permanent makeup, she values a natural aesthetic, enhancing her clients’ unique beauty with skill and care.

Ilona began her career in Ukraine, where she spent her first three years mastering her art. When the war started, she relocated to Warsaw, Poland, where she opened her first studio. After 2.5 years of success and growth there, Ilona made the decision to embark on a new chapter and moved to St. John’s, Canada, where she now continues her journey, bringing her artistry and passion to a fresh audience.
