Custom tattoos in Winnipeg by Sahil. Sleeves, script, realism, fine line & cover-ups — designed from scratch, drawn to last a lifetime.
The Artist
I'm Sahil — a Winnipeg-based tattoo artist obsessed with detail. I don't do stencils off a wall. Every piece I ink is drawn from scratch, designed for the person wearing it, and built to age beautifully.
From full sleeves and script to hyperreal portraits and fine line, my range is wide but the standard is one: it has to be worth wearing for life.
Sterile, private studio. Zero rush. Every client walks out with a story they can't wait to tell.
My Work
Full and half sleeves — flowing compositions built to wrap the body.
Aftercare
Your tattoo is an investment and a piece of art. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure correct healing, vibrant color retention, and long-lasting results. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
Keep the bandage or second skin on for 4-5 days. This protects your tattoo from bacteria, friction, and contamination. When removing it, wash your hands thoroughly first and slowly peel it off under lukewarm water to reduce irritation.
Gently wash the tattoo using antibacterial, fragrance-free soap and clean lukewarm water. Do not scrub. Pat dry with a clean paper towel or allow it to air dry. Do not use cloth towels. Clean your tattoo 2-3 times daily until it is fully healed.
Apply a very thin layer of recommended tattoo moisturizer after each wash. Moisturize 2-3 times per day during healing. Continue light moisturizing even after healing to keep the skin healthy and the ink vibrant.
Avoid gym, heavy workouts, sports, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 7 days. Avoid alcohol, smoking, and substances that may slow healing. Wear loose, clean clothing and avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds until fully healed.
Mild redness, swelling, and soreness are normal in the first few days. Peeling, flaking, and light itching may occur as the tattoo heals. Do not scratch, pick, or peel the tattoo. Healing typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on size and placement.
Eat nutritious meals rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Good nutrition supports faster healing and better tattoo results.
If you experience excessive pain, swelling, redness, discharge, or signs of infection, seek medical attention immediately or contact Winnipeg Tattooz for guidance.
