The shop

A collective, not a counter

Every tattoo tells a story — including ours. Yes Electric grew up on Queen West with one idea: a tattoo shop that feels like the city it lives in — electric, open, and built for everyone, whether it's your first piece or your fortieth.

We're not a one-chair studio. We're a collective — artists with their own styles and obsessions under one roof and one standard. Walk in for clean fine-line lettering and watch a full-colour sleeve take shape at the next station.

The Space
