Realism Tattoos
Our realism tattoos capture intricate details and lifelike imagery, from portraits to nature scenes. Using advanced shading and color blending, we create tattoos that mirror reality with precision. Clients receive custom designs tailored to their vision, ensuring each piece tells a unique story through hyper-realistic artistry.
Fine Line Tattoos
Fine line tattoos feature ultra-thin, precise lines for minimalist and detailed designs. Our artists use specialized needles to achieve soft, subtle patterns that emphasize elegance and simplicity. This style suits those seeking understated yet intricate body art with a focus on clean, refined lines.
Sleeve Tattoos
Sleeve tattoos transform arms into cohesive, storytelling canvases. We design full or partial sleeves that integrate themes, colors, and elements into flowing compositions. Our artists ensure seamless transitions and detailed work across multiple sessions, creating bold, immersive body art that reflects personal narratives.
Portrait Tattoos
Portrait tattoos immortalize loved ones or icons with lifelike precision. Our lead artist Nestor Acevedo specializes in capturing facial details and expressions through meticulous shading and realism. Clients collaborate on reference photos to ensure accurate, emotionally resonant tributes that honor significant figures in their lives.
Cover-Up Tattoos
Cover-up tattoos transform existing ink into fresh, personalized designs. We assess original tattoos to create bold, creative solutions that conceal or repurpose outdated work. Our artists prioritize client preferences, ensuring the new piece aligns with their style while maintaining high-quality execution and hygiene standards.

The studio is very nice, and they follow Covid-19 protocols- making everyone feel safe. The owner is very friendly and relatable, not to mention he did the best job on my first portrait tattoo. Nestor is undoubtedly one of the best artists in Canada, so go see him, you won't be disappointed!

Had an amazing experience at Silver Bones Tattoo. Nestor and his team are very friendly and welcoming. I am so happy I did my research before getting my portrait done.

I worked with Nestor on one of my sleeves and recently booked again to work on my back piece to connect both. Working with Nestor is great, he is not shy to let you know when things work or don't work. He knows how to create pieces that last and his detail is amazing. The way he also makes pieces connect always makes sense. Great Artist, I recommend him with out a doubt.

Nestor is a versatile and extremely talented creative artist who is also good to work with. I also thought it was interesting how the different artists specialize in various styles of tattoos. Plan on getting plenty more done here. Super nice shop. I enjoyed the location since there is a variety of different places to eat, shop, & more around.
