Events & pop-ups. I bring the tattoo chair to you. I take bookings for nights and events where the tattoo is part of what people came for.

A live tattoo station gives guests something they keep. Guests who sit down leave with a tattoo from your night.

I work one person at a time at a single station.

• Clubs and bars
• Conferences
• Small pop-ups
• Weddings

Brand activations are covered on the brand and corporate partnerships page.

I bring my own flash sheets to events, so there is always a set of finished designs on the table for guests to choose from. I tattoo flash by appointment in my chair in Toronto as well, whenever someone wants a piece straight off a sheet.

I worked a flash day for Oz fest with the jewellery brand Clocks and Colours. They asked for designs drawn to their brand, and I tattooed for an eight-hour day.

Fine line traditional is my main style choice. Realism and blackwork sit behind it, and all of my work is black and grey.

At events I keep designs readable at small scale, with clean line weight and strong shapes.

Bring me ideas or a rough direction. If you hand me a reference, I will not copy it line for line. I use it as a starting point and build something that suits the person wearing it.

Events are booked at a day rate. Over an eight-hour day I can tattoo 20 to 30 people. Anything outside Toronto carries a travel fee on top.

I need two weeks' notice as a minimum. A $500 deposit holds the date.

I bring an assistant with me, so the line keeps moving while I tattoo. I carry insurance for off-site work, and my public health inspection covers tattooing at events.

What I need from the venue:

• Power at the station
• A table
• Lighting I can work under
• Enough space for me, the guest and the person waiting
• Somewhere to dispose of sharps safely

The setup is one table with the machine and the inks within reach, plus a chair for the guest.

Guests come by to look through the flash and ask questions. I talk through placement and size with each person before I start on them. Everyone getting tattooed has to be 18 or over with government photo ID.

People can watch while I work. At the end of the night I break the station down.

Some guests will be getting a first tattoo.

I prep the skin and apply the stencil. If someone needs a minute to think, they get it.

Each person walks away with a finished tattoo from one visit to the station, and anyone with questions later can email me.

I am bloodborne pathogens certified. Needles are single-use and tubes are disposable.

I have been tattooing for six years in Toronto.

The details change what is realistic on the day.

On the call I will ask about:

• Date, hours and location
• Rough guest count
• Whether tattooing is central to the event or running alongside it
• Any venue restrictions or approvals you already have in place

With those answers I can tell you how the day would be structured and which designs I would bring.

When someone at an event wants something larger or more personal, I book them into my chair at 1800 Davenport Rd, Unit 6, Toronto, where there is time for the piece.

Event enquiries come to me by email at mitchbold.ink@gmail.com.

Send me the date and the venue, with a line or two about what you have in mind. I will come back with a few times for a short call so we can work out whether it is a fit.

If you are unsure whether your event fits, tell me what you are planning. I will be straight with you if the timeline is too tight or if tattoos are the wrong call for the room.
