ARTIST PICKS 2025

Each month we ask artists to dig through their favourites lists and pick the products they can’t live without.

Who the F@#K is

Justin Coe

Meet Justin Coe, one of the newer faces at Cottage13 in Hamilton ON. Justin is one of the artists joining the shop to help fill the gap left when one of our all time favourite tattooers (Jen Stewart) retired last year (but we won't hold that against him or her). 

Tattooing for 6 years now, Justin describes his style as Neo-Traditional/Illustrative, but he also enjoys tapping into black and grey Realism from time to time. When talking about his favourite products, Justin says that any day he gets to use his trusty Sol Nova Unlimited machine to lay in some Fusion Ink Brick Red, or Solid Ink’s El Dorado, is a good day. 

When he’s not in the shop, Justin can be found cycling the Hammer or further scratching that creative itch via his side hustle: wood burning, and mirror carving. You can check out some of his work at @burnsnscratches.

Thanks for sharing man!

Who the F@#K is

Katie Leith

You’ll find Katie working at epitaphtattoo in Binbrook, a small shop in a small town… with BIG TALENT. Thanks to her generous hashtags we’ve been able to drool all over her work for a while now, and we’re stoked that she agreed to share some of her favourite products with us.

Now 7 years in, Katie is known for her bright and bold Neo-Traditional style which is heavily influenced by movies and Halloween imagery. When she’s not on the road or in the shop, you’ll often find her with a brush in her hand as she works to master another art form; Realism oil painting. As a self-described sneaker geek (ok, my words not hers), she’d get along great with our warehouse overlord Bob who’s been known to hoard a shoe box or two, and even has some custom painted ones! Something to think about Katie…

Thanks for sharing your picks!
