Greetings to all and information on tattoo shops, stores, artist and people in the tattoo and piercing community of Grande Prairie. I will not endorse the Chucksterofto; I am at present not tattooing in the city of GP and really feel that tattooing should be prepared in a professional store by proficient people making their capital with their obsession. I am only bringing the attention that they deserve. Lastly, any tattooist or piercing person can get a free listing here, because of my placement in Google and other search engines, it is worth it.
Lastly, I love doing spreads on artist through video and graphics and in time would love to do interviews . This applies to clients too!

The Chucksterofto: and experienced and knowledgeable tattooist who was named by The Wizard, Michael Belanger, a tattoo teacher. A world renowned tattooist, a leader in the tattoo community, this bio will never equal all of his achievements and acknowledgements. As he always states, "Learn the basics, then explore and push". His favorite style of tattooing is usually the current tattoo he is working on at the moment, meaning the most important thing on his mind is your tattoo. He is a tattooist who can do it all and give you a very rich experience by the tattoo bedside.|
A college diploma from Sheridan College, a degree from Trinity University and two semesters at So gang University in Seoul, South Korea. Numerous public and private art teachers, his passion was to be an oil painter like his aunt who uses a very bright palette when she paints. When you scrutinize his portfolio in color, it will bear evidence to this fact!
Arriving back from an extensive tour in South Korea and Japan, Chuckster saw an opportunity in the Mississauga Tattoo Market. With business partner Evel Evelyne, they developed a simple initiative to gain the upper edge. It worked and became widespread in the GTA area, particularly in the five and ten corners of Mississauga. As great things do come to an end, the business partners went their separate ways and Chuckster found himself making a tattoo store for his ex-wife and then back on tour in Northern Canada to support his family. He states, that Northern Canada and its people are some of the best people he has met to date.
Chuck has worked in and owned numerous stores over a 26 year career, from Cambridge Ontario to Kingston Ontario and all in between. Countries like Japan, Korea, Cuba, USA, and South America. There is not too much that this tattooist has not done, from magazines to competition awards to even being asked to judge a Korea Tattoo Competition in Seoul in 2010, he now finds more favor in leading a quieter life working in a tattoo shop and teaching this skill to aspiring tattooist. He is tried, true and tested!
A tattooist is a person who does a contract for a client; in reality, he is the employee of the client. There is no need for arrogance or name dropping of celebrities because ultimately, you are the celebrity and your tattoo defines who you are whether you are a known celebrity or not. This is a catchphrase that the Chuckster uses in the shop to less experience workers. Even though, he has a list of celebrities he has tattooed, he feels that his greatest accomplishments are the people he tattoos on a day to day basis, and weighs his creditability on this thought.
From a grade eight student walking into his first tattoo store and landing a job in the front, to set ups, tear downs, needle making, machine tuner, then builder, supplier, ink maker, tapping, computers, website design, teacher, there is so much more that can be listed. He states, that he does not want to list his accomplishments in this bio because he has a true belief that when you walk into The Dawn of Evel, you should feel comfortable, that all the tattooist are knowledgeable and skilled. What the client deserves! The Chuckster to this day, still takes in walk-ins as well as appointments. He can always free up time for a client in his busy schedule will work late and charge you a fair price.
