Second floor, slow pace
Climb the stairs off Queen West and the street noise drops away. Big windows, soft light, music on, and artists who take the time to talk through your idea before a single line goes on skin.
Whether it's your first tattoo or your fifteenth, a delicate script or a full scene from your favourite film, the idea is the same: you should feel at ease the whole way through, from the first message to the last wipe of the session.
What we tattoo
Every piece starts as a conversation. Here's the kind of work people come up the stairs for.
Custom designs
Bring a reference, a memory or just a feeling. Your artist sketches an original piece around your idea, your body and your style.
Fine line
Thin, precise linework for small, delicate pieces that sit softly on the skin.
Colour & watercolour
Soft gradients and rich colour, from pet portraits to botanical pieces.
Script & lettering
Names, dates and words that matter, with lettering drawn to fit you.
Illustrative & fan art
Characters and scenes from the films, shows and books you love, in your own take.
First tattoos
Nervous? Good. We'll walk you through placement, size and aftercare, step by step.
Touch-ups & additions
Refresh an older piece or build around it with new elements.
Fresh from the chair
A peek at the studio and recent work. Ask about the artist whose style fits your idea.
How to book
Send us your idea
Message us on WhatsApp with a short description, references, size and where on the body you're thinking.
Shape it together
We match you with an artist, talk through the design and details, and find a time that works for you.
Come up the stairs
On the day, we finalize the stencil, get you comfortable and tattoo. You leave with aftercare tips in hand.
"I walked into Hon Tattoo on Queen without an appointment and had an amazing experience! We were greeted right away and matched with artists almost instantly.…"
"I had an amazing experience at Flow Tattoo. From the sound of the piano on the stairs to walking out of the studio with my finished tattoo. My artist, Enoch, is an apprentice there and was so kind and attentive with my request for a script tattoo.…"
"It was my first time at Flow Tattoo, but I've kept coming back to Alice for a few Studio Ghibli-inspired tattoos.…"
"Angélica is amazing! She designed my first tattoo with such ease. Very respectful and professional. Flow has a laid-back vibe that makes for a great experience."
Good questions
Don't see yours? Send us a message, we're happy to chat it through.
Do I need a design ready before I reach out?
Not at all. A rough idea, a few reference images or even a mood is enough to start. Your artist will help turn it into a finished design.
How much will my tattoo cost?
It depends on size, detail, placement and the time it takes. Send us your idea on WhatsApp and we'll give you an estimate for your specific piece.
Can I walk in, or should I book?
Availability changes day to day, so the best move is to message us first. We'll let you know what's possible and when.
It's my first tattoo. Anything I should know?
Eat beforehand, stay hydrated, wear comfy clothes that give easy access to the area, and ask anything you like. We'll explain each step and go over aftercare before you leave.
Is the studio accessible?
Yes, the studio has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and wheelchair-accessible parking. If you have other needs, let us know in advance and we'll plan around them.
