"Gorgeous George"
George is a Kingston institution. Over two decades of tattooing have earned him a deeply loyal client base — people who return again and again because the work holds. Not just on day one, but on year five, year ten, year twenty.
He gives honest advice when an idea needs refining, makes first-timers feel completely at ease, and produces bold, enduring colour work with a technical discipline that separates truly great tattoos from everything else. This studio is built on trust, and trust is built one outstanding tattoo at a time.
Every shop claims to be bold and bright, but Inner Harbour Tattoo truly does this right. People assume I have fresh ink and are surprised to learn they're 20 years old.
George was able to work a miracle and come up with something I just love. We wandered in off the street and walked out with a cover-up I'm proud of.
From my first tattoo about 20 years ago, to covering my neck recently, George has and continues to do amazing work that keeps me coming back.
Every great tattoo starts with a conversation. Bring your idea — fully formed or just a feeling — and George will give you honest, experienced guidance on what will look extraordinary for a lifetime.
📞 Call (613) 766-7275Tell George what you have in mind and he'll get back to you.
George's reputation is built on straight talk. These are the things clients ask most — answered the same way he'd tell you in the studio.
Call Us DirectlyGeorge does accept walk-ins when the schedule allows — one couple wandered in at 4:30 and left with a completed cover-up. That said, booking ahead ensures you get the time and focus your piece deserves.
Cover-ups are one of George's strengths. Bring in a photo of what you have and he'll give you an honest assessment of what's possible — he's been described as working miracles on 30-year-old ink.
Absolutely. George is known for making first-timers feel comfortable, having real conversations about what will look best, and steering clients toward choices they'll love for life rather than just saying yes to every idea.
George provides aftercare instructions specific to your piece at the end of every session. Follow them closely — proper healing in the first two weeks is what sets the foundation for ink that lasts decades.
That's exactly what the consultation is for. George will look at your skin tone, placement, and what you're drawn to, and give you an honest recommendation — his priority is always what will look best long-term, not just on day one.
