Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

Upcoming Tender Touch delves into Victoria’s tattoo community. In recent years, the industry has grown, with more and more queer and BIPOC artists beginning their career and opening their own tattoo shops Alternatives to the traditional western tattoo scene, these spaces are bastions for many seeking to adorn themselves with ink. Contemporary tattoo artists show their work and explain their connection to tattooing as an art practice. Curated by Mel Granley. Participating artists: Brianna Chatwin, Simran Dhaliwal, Mason Larose, Kaman Lu, Mina Malahah Raposo, Stephanie Papik, and Grae Salisbury.
