Cas’ personal Halloween flash drop is here! All details for this event (except individual tattoo pricing) are listed above in the carrousel.
We’ll see you at 141 Victoria St. South, Kitchener on October 30 and 31st.

I’m looking forward to seeing and tattooing as many of you as I can during these two days and I’m excited to help give back to the Renal Clinic at our own Waterloo Regional Health Network with your support.

The flash pictured is lineart versions but there will be blackwork or colour versions to choose from and even some more fall/ spooky flash from our 90s and 2000s vault flash pages.

I (Cas) will be using this Halloween to host a special charity flash event!
Tattoos will be $80-$150 each. Flash release to come.
The total cost of your flash tattoo with me will be donated to the Renal Clinic (for kidney healthcare) at WRHN (formally called Grand River Hospital).
I’m so excited to help contribute to a cause that is helping so many families in the region, including my own.

This event will be a walk-in only, first come first serve event from 10 am-8pm (maybe later) on October 30 & 31.
I’m only one person, but I hope that I get to see and tattoo as many of you as possible in these two days.
If you can’t make it either of these days but still want any of the flash pieces released, I’m happy to book you an appointment for a separate date.
