A private studio in northern Québec, yours by the day or by the week.
I run a solo studio in Chibougamau — the last town before James Bay territory, about seven hours north of Montréal. When I'm not tattooing, the space sits empty. If you travel, it can be yours.
You won't find walk-in crowds here. What you'll find is demand nobody is serving — I work handpoke, and this region asks for large machine work I don't take on. I keep a waitlist of those requests. I'd rather send it to a good guest than keep people waiting.
The space
The whole studio, not a corner of someone's shop
One station — bed, lighting, power, handwashing station. You work your own book, your own hours. Access code, house manual, a checklist at the station: the space runs itself whether I'm around or not.
I announce every guest on the site, the Google listing, and Facebook — that reaches the people here who are actually looking.
HEADS UP!
The studio runs fully disposable: there is no autoclave.
Cartridges and disposable grips only. Nothing gets reprocessed on site.
What I ask
A portfolio
Your bloodborne pathogens certificate
You book your own clients, take your own deposits, handle your own taxes.
After you leave, your clients' healing questions stay yours; touch-ups wait for your next visit.
Supplies
I stock the disposables
Barriers

Gloves, razors
Ink caps
Rinse cups
Green soap
Stencil paper
Paper towel.
You bring your machine, cartridges, inks, and ointments.
Rates
$100 a day. $400 a week. Supplies included.
A deposit holds your dates and comes off the total.
Getting here
Most people drive — it's a real road trip, and that's part of it.
There are regional flights if you'd rather not. I can point you to lodging once dates are set.
WELCOME to Chibougamau!
