Hidden in the heart of Ottawa’s Byward Market, Virtue Tattoo is a private studio dedicated to offering inspired, creative tattooing with a focus on illustrative, botanical and ornamental subject matter.

Our work reflects a range of style, from delicate to bold, traditional to contemporary.

We consider this studio to be our home in many ways, and in our house we value Respect, Kindness and Community above all else.

Small Studio. Big Heart.

All are welcome here.
