Artist: Rhys Baerwald-Simard

They/Them

Hand-poke artist. Queer creative. Soft rebel with sharp needles.

Rhys is the founder of Colligo Ink and a self taught hand-poke tattoo artist who believes that tattoos are more than just art – they are connection, ritual, and self-celebration. Their style incorporates anything from bold design, to delicate detail, but always with deep respect to the person behind the piece.

Bio

As a queer artist Rhys holds space for every body and every story. Their work is rooted in care, consent, and community – whether it is your first tattoo ever, your first hand-poke, reclaiming your skin, or simply wanting something that feels magical.

Not only can you expect a calm and wholesome vibe with curious conversation, and most importantly to be a part of a creative process that feels less like an appointment and more like an experience.

Queer owned, self growth, and here to poke with a purpose.
