Meet The Team

Tattooer Greg Woodrow was born in Oshawa and has been living around this area all of his life. His father worked at General Motors and instilled a pride of Oshawa in Greg. As Greg grew older, he knew he wanted to become a tattooer and pursued that until he finally landed an apprenticeship. Greg has been tattooing for more than ten years. While capable of many styles, many people seek Greg out for his traditional or cover-up tattoos and he has developed a reputation of creating bold, long-lasting tattoos.

Jesse started as a tattooer in 2013 after being inspired by family members tattooing.  He worked at some shops before settling in at Taunton Tattoo Company.  Jesse does well with a variety of styles, whether it be new school or traditional, and he is great at preparing custom lettering.  Jesse takes time to meet with each of his customers and ensure they are getting the best tattoo possible from their ideas. When he’s not tattooing or drawing, Jesse enjoys music.  He likes going to shows, collecting records, and playing drums.  He lives in Toronto with his wife and their two cats

Carl joined the Taunton Tattoo Company crew in early 2016.  He has been a tattoo artist for many, many years and he first started working in professional shops in 1993.  His years of experience have made Carl incredibly knowledgeable and he is able to work with any customer to create a custom and quality piece.  Carl used to work at the original Way Cool Tattoos on Queen St. where he acquired a following of customers.

When not tattooing, Carl likes oi music, bull terriers, and movies.
