Episode 8 Erika Doyon

Erika Doyon, tattoo artist and owner of Studio Artease in Montréal, shares stories about the art of tattooing, mentoring artists, and her remarkable grandmother.

Getting tattooed puts people in a vulnerable state. In those moments she plays two roles, both tattoo artist and therapist, creating body art in her own style that delivers on client desires.

Her grandmother made a living as a painter from the age of 30. From a start studying illustration and design in school, Erika worked office jobs until jumping headlong into a tattoo apprenticeship. She continues to make abstract oil paintings when she can make the time for personal art, alongside running her tattoo studio.
