Chris founded Torchlight Tattoo in 2014 with the intention of cultivating a welcoming and peaceful creative space where clients could expect to receive the highest quality of service with compassion and kindness. Over the years his attention to detail, peaceful demeanor, collaborative spirit, and commitment to meaningful connection with his clients have placed him in a unique position of leadership within his industry. Chris has helped to shape the development of dozens of tattoo artists in the Kitchener/Waterloo area, while providing a new standard for what the tattoo experience can be.

Preferring monochromatic mediums, Chris works with ink, pencil, charcoal, fumage, and black & grey tattoo ink. His work explores themes of our connection to the living world, transformation, acceptance/surrender, gratitude, love, and the beauty that springs up at the intersection of life, death, and our connection to God.
