Nick, tattoo artist at Birch Ave Tattoos

About

Red is earned, never assigned.

Ten years into tattooing, working out of Birch Ave Tattoos in 100 Mile House, BC. Trad Polka Fusion is a style I built myself — American Traditional structure, Trash Polka texture, and black & grey realism, forced into one discipline with a strict rule: red is reserved as a crown element, never handed out freely.

On the road for guest spots and conventions across BC, Alberta, and Ontario most of the year — check the schedule if you want to catch a piece somewhere specific.

Outside the shop: co-hosting Talking with Tugboats, building tools for tattoo artists, and running a weekly emo night at Jake's Pub under the name DJ Nick War.
