About Me
Nick Appolon
I’m a 34 year old artist and I’m been a professional tattoo artist for 8 years! I started my journey in Ottawa in 2015 as an apprentice and then moved to Toronto in 2017 to pursue tattooing full-time. I ended up working at a few tattoo studios in the city over the years, and that valuable industry experience helped mold my career into what it is today.
I have had a passion for art ever since I can remember. I grew up drawing and painting constantly and I loved experimenting with new artistic mediums. Considering my background in the arts, the transition into the world of tattooing felt as natural as can be.
I specialize in black & grey realism and illustrative tattoos. These are styles that I gravitated towards during my illustration and painting days as a youth and I developed a true passion for it. Although those are styles that I love to specialize is, I do consider myself a very versatile and well-rounded artist when it comes to other tattoo styles as well.
My main workspace is based downtown Toronto at a private studio, and I constantly travel to Ottawa as well to tattoo every two months. For all bookings and inquiries you can go to the “Tattoo Booking” navigation tab to get in contact. You can expect 24-48 hours for a response from me or my assistant, and from there a zoom consultation will be set up. I look forward to hearing from you and working towards making your vision a reality!
