Mel
Body Piercer/Co-Owner“After studying nursing at Nippissing University I took an interest in business management. I became a general manager shortly after. After a few years of this I decided to combine my nursing and business knowledge and began my piercing apprenticeship. Now I am a professional piercer and co-owner of Free World Tattoo.”
Kurt
Owner / Tattoo Artist“I started doing graffiti and street art in 2000 as a result of my love for hip-hop and inspiration from talented friends surrounding me at that period of my life. This escalated into large murals for the city and private commissions. Many art shows later I picked up a tattoo machine moved out of the city and started to learn this great trade, the rest is history.”
