Collection: COLIN O

Get to Know the Artist

Colin O (Colin Cej he/him) is a Canadian tattoo artist who splits his time between Vancouver and several major US Cities. Colin has been tattooing since 2014, and has been featured both Nationally and Internationally in print and digital publications on the art form. Prior to his current Vocation, Colin worked as an illustrator and exhibited net.art in multiple galleries both in Vancouver and abroad.
Born in the endless sprawl of suburban central Canada, Colins work is a reflection of the disenfranchised late stage capitalist void that has raised so many of us in the Western Nations.
Life, death, fear, boredom and a desperate attachment to pop-culture, have shaped a body of work that can be fun and friendly, while also feeling visceral and contemplative. There is an interstice, where social media, 80s anime, damaged computer code, consumption and the natural world meet. This is the landscape that Colin uses to produce his work.
Although Colin is not a 'self taught' tattoo artist, he is a self taught visual artist. He has no post-secondary education in fine arts. Despite being allergic, Colin spends most of his life with cats that seem largely indifferent to him.
