Outcast Ink sets up shop on North

Third location lucky for local tattoo artists

Posted by Carsten Knox on Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 4:00 AM

They used to be up on Titus in Fairview, then they moved to 152 Portland in Dartmouth, but that wasn’t quite the right fit for Outcast Ink. “Business wasn’t as good,” says Matt McNamara, an apprentice tattooist at the studio. “We had a lot of clientele, but this is a better spot. It’s a prime location.” The shop is now at 5682 North Street, just a few doors down from the corner of North and Agricola, on the south side of North. On a sunny Friday afternoon there’s plenty of pedestrian traffic, plus it’s filled with tattooed folks, draped over comfy chairs and each other, while a gentleman with a dagger on his arm gets the work touched up by proprietor and artist Chris Weagle. “Actually, it’s my wife that owns the place,” he says with a smile, before outlining his specialties: “Custom work, the more custom the better. Cover-ups, anything black and grey.” He has two other artists in the shop, including McNamara, and a piercer, if you’ve got a nipple, septum or labia that needs an ornament. They’re open noon to six, Monday to Saturday, with a phone and sign coming next week… find them on Facebook for more information.

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.
