Hi, welcome to the blog, my name is Bram Adey, and I've been tattooing in Winnipeg for sixteen years. I make traditionally inspired black and grey tattoos. My work is often nature inspired, and specifically focused on the main species of flora and fauna of the area of Manitoba between the turtle mountains and the Winnipeg river.
You can find me at:
Ritual Winnipeg tattoo studio
420 - 70 Arthur street

Thanks a lot for checking out the tattoos, If you'd like to come get tattooed, or if you'd like to book a consultation to explore your tattoo ideas together, email me at bram_adey@hotmail.com to get the ball rolling.
Much of the work you see me post here or on my instagram comes from or is inspired by my in-progress flash collection "Our Wild World". Here are a few available designs I've been working on the last little while.
Barn Swallows
Butterflies
Red Admiral
White Admiral
Tiger Swallowtail
In Addition to Our Wild World, I've also been actively working on my collection of iconographic stick and poke designs "Signs and Symbols", and I'm currently working on some celestially inspored additions to the collection.
You can find me at my studio, Ritual Winnipeg, from Tuesday to Friday, 10am-6pm. I share the space with four other artists:
Alyssa May makes eclectic, nerdy tattoos in a variety of styles.
Lady Myes who makes tasteful western traditional tattoos both fine and bold.
Darny who makes fineline, microrealistic and gothic inspired black and grey tattoos
and
Abrielle, who makes both western and eastern inspired stick and poke tattoos.
Here are a few fun photos from around the studio.
On the First Friday of every month, you can stop by the studio from 5-9 for an open-studio and walk-in tattooing. You can meet the artists and peruse our portfolios, as well as getting to see the space and suss out the vibe.
Some tattoo flash portfolios on display for First-Fridays.
