OUR STORY

-

Established in 2018, London Ontario Canada. With owners Brock Ryan and Stevie Boy starting up in Old East Village in the fall of 2018, they quickly expanded adding talented artists Matt Leroux and Cortney Foster to the crew. With Hunter Richards newly added and Shannon Rumble at the gate, the Nitty Gritty family continues to grow. With a motivated focus and creative drive matched by few, the shop is continually pushing artistically. The outcome being a unique and modern take on designs and artwork.

Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve had several sessions with Brock. He’s done my sleeve as well as cover up of an old tattoo. I’ve had nothing but great experience with Nitty Gritty Tattoo. Very clean shop, everyone is professional and courteous. I’m always made to feel comfortable during my sessions. I highly recommend Brock and team for quality, skills and talent for tattooing.

I made plans to get a matching tattoo with my sister and was looking for someone very special for such a special piece and Brock delivered! I am so happy with it and with his friendliness and professionalism, he really made me feel comfortable and the time flew by! The rest of the Nitty Gritty staff were so nice and I can’t wait to go back! Would definitely recommend to others!
