Hello! They call me Jimbo and I have always had a passion for art. I attended both Sheridan and George Brown Colleges in the hopes of further developing my skills as an artist. I decided soon after to pursue tattooing. I began my tattoo career in 2018 and opened Lover’s Peril Tattoo in 2021. I enjoy drawing and tattooing a wide variety of styles.

What I love most about tattooing is when a client expresses that their tattoo made them feel even more like them, as though it was always meant to be there. Making people even more comfortable in their own skin is what I live for.

Salutations, my name is Adonis, I was born and raised in Toronto but have come to love small town life in Stratford. I hope to embody the soul of tradition and the weight of legacy in my work. From solid American traditional, powerful tribal, cultural ornamental, clean expressive lettering, every piece is built on solid foundations and designed to last.

In the time between tattoos I enjoy tinkering with coils machines, chasing that perfect hum, learning the heartbeat of machines the same way I learn the stories of the people who sit in my chair. Every tattoo is personal, no shortcuts, just timeless work drawn from tradition and grounded in authenticity.

Hey there! I’m Tiffany, from a young age I’ve always loved art including drawing, colouring and painting. With that came the love of tattoos, going to tattoo appointments with my mom as a child to getting my first tattoo with her at the age of 16. The love kept growing, I’m passionate about blending tradition with individuality. I’ve lived in Stratford my whole life, I can be quite chatty, I love watching scary movies, reading manga, rabbit holing on the internet, talking about the most random things and listening to all kinds of music.

I’m drawn to art and artists rich in history, such Ed Hardy and Sailor Jerry. Styles I enjoy include American & Japanese traditional, floral, dotwork and ornamental. My goal is to create tattoos that honour history, flow naturally with the body, and feel uniquely personal to each client.

Hi, I’m Leah MacAlpine. As much as I have discovered a passion for tattooing, my art experience has mainly been in other Mediums. I attended Connestoga College and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Animation . I spent hundreds of hours practicing and improving my art. I know that in a design, every line, every detail matters; every choice you make conveys something different to an audience.

Now, I am applying my experience onto a new medium, tattooing. A medium that offers things that my past pursuits have not, such as connection. The opportunity to work directly with my clients and see the impact my work has on them. Freedom to pursue my own style and artistic direction and perhaps-s most importantly, community.
