ABOUT US
A message from our founder, Wes Wood:
Welcome Brothers and Sisters of Tattoo!
Every tattoo line and dot is a proclamation: you own your body! Which means: You're not asking for permission; offer no excuses; make no justification to anyone. Your tattoos are what they are.
Meanings of tattoos to the viewer are read from the surface but have meaning well beyond the visible . They have memory of their creations as well as private feelings and emotions.
Tattoo is a category of its own. It is neither a cosmetic nor an art form, nor a self-inflicted wound in search of a cure.
Tattoo can only be defined as a permanent marking of the body beyond law, beyond custom practiced everywhere at every epoch. It belongs to no one to control. It is a human thing that we humans do- without anyone's permission.
Tats On Canal has a lineage of nearly 40 years...
Born from Sacred Tattoo (2006), Bowery Tattoo (2002),
Kaleidoscope and Raz-Ma-Taz (1992), Canal Street Tattoo (1990), and Unimax Supply Co. (1989).
Our location has always been in the center of downtown Manhattan, on Canal Street from West Broadway to Lafayette, the area bounded by TriBeCa, Soho, Chinatown and Little Italy, a step away from Wall Street and the Lower East Side.
We invite you to get tattooed here, with people who know these things. A relaxed, safe, clean and modern space, where trust is everything.
Hope to see you soon!
- Wes Wood

Wes Wood was asked to co-produce the First NYC Tattoo Convention in 1998 by Steve Bongi, Butch Garcia and Clayton Patterson.
Appointed by NY City to officially represent and implement the NYC Dept. of Health Regulations for the First NYC Tattoo Convention.
Wes, created and produced with his landlord, William Fong, the now famous Inked Magazine.
He also created most of the needle styles now used
in tattooing (over 100), created the first extensive set of colors (50) of ready-made inks.
Wes produced the first lines of sterile needles and sterile tubes (SS at the time) ,developed plastic tubes pre-sterilized with and without needles.
Box Baxter of Skin and Ink Magazine listed Wes as the 33rd most influential person in modern tattooing.
In 1994, Wes opened the first actual walk-in street level Tattoo Supply Store open to public in NYC.
For his contributions to tattoo, he received The Acker Award. Wes was also awarded by The Body Art Expo as Supplier of Excellence and by the NYC Tattoo Convention as Supplier.
PIERCING
Wes embraced Piercing in 1993 getting formal piercer training in 1996 by Gauntlet on 5th Ave NYC.
By the year 2000, he produced one of the first manuals of Piercing techniques, a complete selection of piercing equipment and a broad range of body jewelry that has become a hallmark in the USA.
We suggest getting initial piercings with Unimax famous highest quality Titanium Grade 23 jewelry, every piece sterilized by non-damaging EO gas. Hypoallergenic, light weight, the most resistant to deterioration.
