Mission Statement
"I provide a clean, calm, and relaxed environment where clients can truly unwind and feel at ease. It's important to me that every person who walks through my door feels safe, comfortable, and part of the creative process.
Too often, I hear people say, 'The artist gave me this tattoo,' — but that's not how I work. Every tattoo I do is a collaborative experience. We're in this together. It's your body, your story, and your art. My role is to help bring your vision to life while making sure you feel seen, heard, and fully involved from start to finish."
What People Are Saying
Kirk has been excellent to work with- he takes the time to walk you through every step of the process and does such an amazing job. You can tell the employees really care about you and about their work. My tattoo recovery has been seamless and 2+ years later, still looks like new.
My wife and I wanted to get matching tattoos for our 20th anniversary. We had an incredible experience at sin on skin tattoo studio. We had a rough vision of what we wanted and Kirk turned it into a masterpiece that is now one of our most prized possessions. Kirk is not only an amazing artist, but he is one of the coolest souls I have ever met. He has the most amazing touch with the tattoo machine and goes above and beyond. He knows how to read his clients and reads their state of mind. Nicole did a great job getting us booked, providing a warm welcome and treating us like old friends. Thank you so much, Kirk. we will carry your artwork proudly wherever we go. Jim and Andrea.

Great vibes off the get go. Kirk did an amazing job on my tat and I love it! This was my 9th tat (all others done in the US) and working with him was the best experience I’ve had with an artist. I didn’t feel rushed, he gave me multiple options, was very informative… overall just a great experience and would highly recommend Kirk.

My wife and I were in Halifax for our 20th anniversary and while touring around the town we decided to get a tattoo. We drop by without an appointment when we met Kirk. He looked over his schedule and asked us to comeback in a couple of hours which we did. My wife selected a couple of poppies on a stem and I asked for a face-on portrait of our wee Frenchie. Kirk’s artistry was amazing - he is really gifted. My wife almost fell asleep while Kirk was applying his craft and my little Frenchie came out superbly. We are extremely happy with our tattoos. So, if you are considering a tattoo, we highly recommend you look up Kirk.
Kirk did a fine line clover tattoo for me! I am in love with my new tattoo. Very clean and bright place and knowledgeable experience for my first tattoo. Only good things to say, 10/10.
I got two of my tattoos with Kirk. Both times it was incredible work, attention to detail, excellent experience, very skillful and high amount professionalism. Both of my tattoos were small and fine line but absolutely still amazing to this day without needing touch ups.

Got my very first tattoo back in may with Kirk. What an amazing experience! He had an excellent bedside manor and was super kind and reassuring, especially because it was my first time and I was nervous
Will definitely be coming back for more!

As a first timer, was obviously nervous and wasn't really happy when I walked in and saw Kirk had already altered the design I gave him. But this guy is a LEGEND at what he does!! I left super happy with my final piece (which was his version of my design) and can't wait to travel back to Canada and turn my tattoo into a half sleeve! Would 10/10 recommend Kirk to anyone looking for a good tattoo in Halifax.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first tattoo. I went back and forth a bit on what I wanted beforehand, Kirk, my tattoo artist, was so patient and helpful. Kirk took the time to give me a consultation before I actually booked. I'm really happy with the final result - just what I was looking for and a sweet reminder of my Dad.
I got two of my tattoos with Kirk Martin. Both times it was incredible work, attention to detail, excellent experience, very skillful and high amount professionalism. Both of my tattoos were small and fine line but absolutely still amazing to this day without needing touch ups.

First, after experiencing the worst nightmare of my life of loosing my son to an overdose last year during Covid I wanted to to add a tattoo to signify the despair able loss that I was/and am feeling. I wanted this tattoo and asked if it could be expedited so I can travel to Ontario to receive his ashes.
Kirk provided an excellent upgrade to the drawing I provided and was very understanding of what I required. I accepted the drawing on the spot
The session was very cool. Kirk has great experiences in his travels and life experiences and provides a relaxing environment for any client.
Having the client leaving happy seemed to be the motto!
I can go on about my experience but can only say I have nothing but positivity about the way I was treated and to finish with a bonus!!!!
The result was amazing and I am happy!
