Gunpla (ガンプラ Ganpura), a portmanteau of "Gundam plastic model", is the common name for plastic model kits depicting the vehicles and characters of the fictional Gundam universe by Bandai. These kits have become popular among mecha anime fans and model enthusiasts in Japan and in other nearby Asian countries since the 1980s. Gundam modeling spread in the 1990s with North America and Europe being exposed to Gundam through television, video and manga

The word diorama (/ˌdaɪəˈrɑːmə/) can either refer to, in modern usage, a three-dimensional full-size or miniature model, sometimes enclosed in a glass showcase for a museum. Dioramas are often built by hobbyists as part of related hobbies such as military vehicle modeling, miniature figure modeling, or aircraft modeling

 

I combine these two areas of scale model building to create unique and custom creative environments and characters…I have competed in modelling competitions online and at local events.  but mostly I just build as an escape from the useal 2d forms of painting and drawing I do for work. Everybody needs a hobby. And this is mine. Commissions are a possibility

A tattoo artist is only as good as his reputation. Here are some of the nice things people have said about me over the years.

 

I have had at least five sessions with Trevor over the past 3 years, and he has gone above and beyond of what I have expected out of my tattoos. He made my tattoos original, and absolutely gorgeous, which in turn has made me feel amazing about my body. He has also done amazing tattoos for my husband, sister, and best friend, all of which were done in totally different styles. He is a very professional and lovely person, and I hope to be working with him for many years to come!

I had my first tattoo done by Trevor in March 2019 and have had 7 more done to date. I keep returning, not only because I think he's a great artist, but because always been great at conceptualizing my ideas and turning them into great tattoos. Always a pleasure and always good vibes!

Trevor is amazing! Back in late August of 2019, I started my research on where to get my first tattoo. My hairdresser told me she got all of her tattoos at Red9 on Danforth and Woodbine, so I looked into it. After reading up on them, they seemed like a perfect fit. I walked in, expecting to go over what I wanted and to schedule an appointment, but Trevor was available for walk-ins then. I was terrified, but Trevor made my first tattoo experience a great one! 11 tattoos later, and every session with Trevor starts off with a smile and ends with a pleasant conversation. I look forward to continuing my tattoo journey with him!

I just wanted to say that you are hands down one of my favourite humans. Thank you so much for doing this beautiful piece for me yesterday and thank you for giving me an extremely fair price. I am forever grateful to you 🙏🏼 Also, I didn’t know you before the start of your journey but talking to you yesterday and seeing how much someone can try to shift their life in a positive direction inspired me. Not only do I love my tattoo but having it done by you was a truly amazing experience, it makes me appreciate my tattoo even more. I won’t forget this experience and I will definitely be back. Keep going down this amazing path and being the best version of yourself! People like you are a very rare breed. Have an amazing day and thank you again for making me so happy in a bit of a dark time in my life, I really appreciate you!!

Trevor has done phenomenal work on me and my friends. From old school black and white, to watercolour, to my awesome cross hatch shoulder piece, the work is always great. The tattoos heal well and he is always available for any follow up questions. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get a quality tattoo.

FAQ’s

what is “Print on Demand”

print on demand, also known as dropshipping,  refers to the online sales process where a product is designed on a third party website using my artwork. The products are produced when your order is placed and then shipped to tuffytats, where we package your order along with the occasional free sticker or goodie.

since these products are made to order, this takes time. Once your order is received at our location we will send it off to you within a weeks time   

*I have ordered products from these services to check for quality but am unable to provide real photos of all of them.. The test samples I have received were all good quality and passed my personal review as ‘Fit to Sell’.

For some, tattoos are a spur of the moment event. For others, they are a life changing decision. Whichever road you travel I'm sure you have questions. This is where you can find answer's to some of the most frequently asked questions. If the answer's you seek are not here, feel free to contact me directly.

 

Does it hurt?

Short answer: yep! Long answer: Not as much as people lead you to believe. Every person's pain tolerance is different but across the board the human body is very similar. Anything on the torso is more sensitive than the arms and legs. It has less to do with the proximity of bones than it does the concentration of nerve endings in a given area. In over a decade of tattooing; I’ve seen everyone from 100 lb sorority girls to 400 lb construction workers and they all sit about the same. If you come in asking ‘is this going to be the worst thing I’ve ever experienced?’ Then it just might be.. If you come with the attitude of ‘This is exciting I can’t wait’ -then you’ll probably have an okay time. Both clients feel the same, the only difference is your perception of it… So sit back, relax and enjoy the process, it might feel like a ‘cat scratch on a sunburn’ but when it’s over you get to go home with something new about you and isn't that worth a little pain?

How do I heal it?

Once at home remove the bandage and shower washing off any blood, plasma or Vaseline. Lightly dry the tattoo using a clean towel. Wear loose fitting clothes and allow the tattoo to air-dry before getting into bed(clean sheets). Around 24 hours after the tattoo session the skin should have dried and formed a barrier layer. If the tattoo is dry to the touch you can start applying a small dab of UNSCENTED LOTION a few times a day as needed. LESS IS MORE! The lotion serves to moisturize the tattoo as it builds new skin cells allowing the new fragile skin to stretch rather than crack. Do not use Vaseline or Polysporin. If you have any doubts, concerns or questions: ALWAYS ASK YOUR ARTIST FIRST! Even if your friend Katie is a tattoo artist and has great advice for you. I still care about your tattoo and have the most interest in its well being next to you…

Deposits

Deposits are required for ALL TATTOO APPOINTMENTS (no exceptions) All deposits are non refundable. When you pay a deposit you are booking appointment time - Not the tattoo. A deposit is deducted from the ‘final’ session of that tattoo. Meaning, if the tattoo lasts for three sessions that deposit is deducted from the third session price, not the first. The deposit covers the cost of disposable setup materials AND affords the artist some compensation in the event of a no-show or cancellation and they are unable to rebook that time. If you need to reschedule an appointment 48 hours notice is required to keep your deposit. Otherwise another deposit will be required and another appointment must be made
