New tattoos and flash designs, June 2026. Monarch butterflies, White-tailed Deer and Conifers.

Hi, Welcome to my blog!  My name is Bram, and I've been tattooing in winnipeg for the last sixteen years, and own Ritual Winnipeg Tattoo Studio in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.  I make traditionally inspired black and grey tattoos, mostly nature inspired, with a little dose of esoterica thrown in the mix.

I am working on a big body of tattoo flash designs right now called "Our Wild World", all about Manitoba wildlife, and the iconic species/specimens and phenomena that make up our natural world.

One of the more complete sheets spreads from "Our Wild World" so far.

All of these and many more are available to be tattooed any time, just send me an email and I'd love to book you in.  Custom designs are also always available, email me with your hopes and dreams for your next tattoo and I'd be glad to consider them!

Keeping organized throughout the process.

I always put in an hour or two of creative time here at my dining room table first thing in the morning.

Then I unburden myself...

...and give thanks for the new day with a few Sun salutes.













Thanks for looking.
All the best,

Bram
