Hey there tattoo fans, the Neon Crab wishes to extend to you and yours, the very warmest wishes for a happy holiday. Unfortunately, this Christmas brings with it further Covid-19 restrictions. We know that your Facebook, twitter and Instagram feeds have been filled with coronavirus panic for weeks, and we certainly do not wish to add to the panic in any way. However we know that with growing case numbers and outbreaks in our communities comes anxiety and high tension in th...ese uncertain times.. So we wish to thank our clients for your patience and support, as we navigate through this ever changing landscape.. And we want to let you know that the Neon Crab is working to ensure our approach to the outbreak of Covid-19 and its resulting repercussions on our clients, our team members and our local community is handled with care and consideration. Based on the guidance of the provincial and federal governments, along with the Chief Medical Officer of Canada, the Neon Crab is temporarily closed until further notice as per the provincial order issued by Premiere Doug Ford. Again we wish to thank you for your patience during this trying time, and know that we are still here for you. Feel free to email, or message us, and we will do our best to answer all of your questions. Stay tuned for updates, and in the meantime be healthy, be safe, and be kind to one another. We will get through this together. See more

Hey everyone, just wanted to put out a reminder that Hamilton is still in the red zone! This means that with the current restrictions in place, we are unable to perform any services that require the removal of a mask (nose piercings, etc.). Until those restrictions are removed, we are happy to continue providing all other services. If you have any questions about the current restrictions or if you would like to book your next tattoo/piercing, give us a call at the shop (905-930-8666) or send us a message! We are here 11am-7pm daily from Tuesday through Saturday. Thank you all for your patience in these difficult times!

Times are changing, and Covid is throwing us challenges, but we are still growing!! As such, the Neon Crab in Stoney Creek is looking to add a new talented artist to our crew. We offer competitive pay, medical/dental benefits, no chair rental or supplies costs, travel opportunities and more, all in a laid back fun atmosphere. We are looking for a hard working, reliable, team player, who LOVES tattooing. If that's you, let us know! Email the owner directly at [email protected]

How Kyle is spending Halloween

Ok I know what you are thinking..Ink Buffet season is here!!!!! And we couldn’t be more excited. That is until Covid decided to drop in and ruin our whole year. Now it’s true, there are a whole host of new regulations and protocols that we have in place to fight the spread of the virus and keep us all safe. And we must adhere to the guidelines and emergency orders put in place by the provincial government and the municipal Health Unit. So sadly many of the community ...fundraisers and anniversary events that we host had to be cancelled. We cannot encourage gathering, and we are no longer permitted to accept deposits. But the last thing we wanted to do was cancel our annual Ink Buffet event. We know that our clients love it, and many of you look forward to this event every year. And we very much enjoy doing something to give back to our clients during the holiday season. So we all put our heads together, and we think we have found a way to still hold the Ink Buffet event safely, although it will be in a slightly different format in order to adhere to all of the new measures and guidelines that are now in place. So here is what is the same. You will still be able to book an entire 8 hour day with the artist of your choice to get as much ink done as you can take. And yes, you can still split that day between friends if you choose. What will be changing If you are splitting up your day between a couple of people, that’s fine, but unfortunately only one client will be permitted in with the artist at a time. No friends or family are allowed to be sharing the same space while you are getting tattooed. So we’ll have to call or text the next one in your group when it’s their time to swap spaces with you. We will not be allowed to collect payment in advance in order to secure your day as we have in the past. So instead what we will be doing, is allowing anyone to book a full day at our regular year-round price of $800. But if you book your day in December, when you do come in for your day to get tattooed, we will give you $200 in gift certificates back on the spot, that you can use for your self for a future appointment, or gift to someone else for Christmas. We know it’s not quite the same Ink Buffet you all remember, but it does seem to check off all of the safety boxes, and we still get to offer a SUPER great deal to our clients for Christmas so that they can get some really amazing work done. Assuming you have the pain tolerance to sit through a whole day of tattooing!! So hurry, these days are limited in quantity and book up quickly as each artist only has a select amount of days available for buffets (and we have Christmas holidays during December as well). So save your nickels, and pop in after November 1st to book yourself an ink buffet! Booking begins NOVEMBER 1st! For more details, shoot us a message or give us a call! See more

Happy spooktober! We’ll be having a flash sale for the last week of this month and kyle will be offering black and grey portraits of horror characters for $200 all month long
