Chalk, also known as Bodychalk, is the visionary founder of Port City Tattoos in Halifax, Nova Scotia. With a career spanning nearly two decades since 2006, Chalk has consistently demonstrated ingenuity and relentless creativity, famously building his first tattoo machine from unconventional materials. In 2017, they revolutionized the craft by inventing the world’s first Two-Needle Tattoo Machine, a custom device capable of alternating between bold and fine needles to create a distinctive parallel line effect. This innovation results in a striking, one-of-a-kind style characterized by clean, graphic designs often infused with a playful, storybook-like charm. Chalk’s diverse portfolio ranges from expressive novelty-style tattoos to high-skill black and grey pieces, all executed with technical precision. Known for originality and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of modern tattooing, Chalk continues to craft art that is both meticulously made and proudly worn.
