Guest Artist: Trevor Goodwin






















That's right, the well travelled and hugely talented Trevor Goodwin will be tattooing out of Neon Crab Tattoos & Piercing in London for a very short engagement. he will be taking appointments between March 20th and April 1st 2012. So don't miss out, come on in or give us a call and book your space today, before time runs out!
Trevor Goodwin decided to apprentice in a custom shop after spending 15 years painting graffiti in the streets of Toronto under the handles 'Wymp' and 'Horus'. (recently gaining the nickname 'Trevvy Mettal')
His mentor passed along a deep reverence for tattooing as a craft, and that seriousness can be seen when he works. But like most tattooists, he also has a sharp wit and loves meeting eccentric new co-workers and clients.
Finding creatice challenges in tattooing is what drives him to perfection now. Having worked in Toronto for a few years, he's begun to travel to do guest spots and is looking forward to a stint in Calgary next, before he heads to Vancouver and then back to Toronto. Specializing in script, Japanese, and American traditional, he spent the last few months in the Maritimes getting back to his family roots and studying nautical references first hand.
Trevor says: "I want to work, everywhere. - Every shop, every co-worker, and every client will teach you something...One day I'll open my own studio, but for now I'm a sponge, out to learn as much as I can, and become a respected artist worthy of one day passing down as much knowledge as I have been able to earn"
Attracted to bold colour, but also the ultimate contrast of black work, Trevor has developed his own tribal style that fits the body and accentuates forms in a flattering way that can only be described as badass! Hot rods and pinup girls are subjects he's hoping to do more of in the future, and script...always more script!
