I am proud to be tattooing in halifax, NS Canada. I graduated from the University of Calgary Fine Arts program in 2004, earning a BFA with honours, with a minor in history. I love nature, history, folklore, mythology, and culture, and these themes wind their way through most of my artistic work and practice. I love to tattoo in a fine line, engraving style using lines and dot work to create imagery reminiscent of historical copper plate engravings and illustrations; however I am always happy to take on colour, or other styles and projects.
I am quiet and shy, but strive to provide a welcoming and comfortable tattoo experience. All are welcome, and I am happy to try and accommodate any needs or requests if I am able to do so.
I love the planet and the animals, all my inks and set ups are of the highest quality, and are appropriately free from animal products and animal testing. Wherever possible I use biodegradable and compostable products in place of plastics. Kindness is brave; above all else, be kind.

Testimonials
“Hands down the best experience I’ve had getting tattooed. Toma is so down to earth, talented beyond words, and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. Not only did they design a piece that made my original vision come to life but she added on their own twist that was beyond my imagination! Her excitement was infectious. The hours flew by and I left the appointment with a tattoo I’m honoured to have on me forever. Already booking back with Tina for the next one ... and the next one! Thanks lady :)”
“Working with Toma on the concept creation and application of my tattoo was a joyful, and immensely comfortable experience. Their ability to understand the emotive and creative scope of my design was both efficient and impressive. I am extremely pleased with the end result, and would highly recommend them to those seeking a professional, collaborative and supportive experience”
“I got my first tattoo with Toma and it was a great experience. She is a careful listener and easy to work with when designing a tattoo. The end result is exactly what I wanted and really, really beautiful. As a first timer, I was a little nervous going in, but Tina has a very calming presence and made me feel so comfortable.”
