So many celebrities have used their body as a canvas for tattoos — and even more, have restored their bodies by utilizing tattoo removal services.
Have you ever wondered who the tattoo experts are who inked (and in some cases re-inked) some of your favourite celebrities?
The tattoo artists trusted by celebrities are masters of their craft, which is why we love to follow them on Instagram. They never fail to post pictures of their work – including the work they do on the bodies of notable A-listers.
These artists will fill your Instagram feed with intricate, detailed tattoos that will probably inspire you to get some new ink of your own, or even remove an old tattoo to provide a fresh slate for some new art.
At Baywood Laser & Cosmetic Clinic in downtown Toronto, we understand the significance of tattoos – and why you may want one removed. Whether you are looking to erase your tattoo to make room for a new one, or just want it off altogether, we’re happy to offer tattoo removal services.

A New Tattoo Trend?
Yup. You knew it had to come. Celebrity tattoo artists? Out. Celebrity Television Series Tattoo shops? In! A new tattoo shop is opening up in London, and you guessed it! It’s Game of Thrones themed from top to bottom. Wonder if this is the start of a new trend? We could have a Sons of Anarchy Tattoo shop – lots of ideas from that show. Or Breaking Bad? Jesse had some cool tats! It sounds like a fun idea, a bit like the Big Lebowski themed bar in Iceland. Hey that’s where Game of Thrones was filmed!
But as we always warn patients, be careful when choosing an actual tattoo design based on something that’s currently in fashion – a tv show or an entertainer, for example. Because what’s in today can easily be out tomorrow. You know, like the guy down the street with the huge Mr. Spock tattoo on his back!
