Guest artists
We’re proud to open our doors to talented guest artists from around the world.
Work in Toronto’s Queer-friendly, COVID-conscious tattoo shop
At Sharpest Tool, located in the heart of Bloordale in Toronto, we’re more than just a studio — we’re a community. Our space is explicitly Queer & Trans-friendly, inclusive, and built on mutual respect and care. We prioritize a welcoming environment for both artists and clients, and that includes a continued commitment to being COVID-conscious.
We love collaborating with visiting tattooers who share our values and are looking for a clean, respectful, and community-oriented shop to work from during their time in the city.
Whether you’re traveling through Toronto or planning a longer stay, we’d love to hear from you.
Our commitment to fair treatment of our resident artists extends to guest artists, and we offer affordable flat rates, no commissions, and discounts for extended stays.
What we offer:
A bright, clean, and fully-equipped workstation
A supportive, friendly, and professional environment
Promotion of your guest spot on our social media
Flexibility with scheduling and setup
Accessibility information available upon request
What we’re looking for:
Artists of all backgrounds and styles who value inclusivity and client consent
COVID-conscious practices (we’ll share current shop protocols)
A portfolio or website/socials so we can get to know your work
