At the Well Tattoo

At the Well Tattoo is a private tattoo studio in Thunder Bay, Ontario, working by appointment only. The studio specializes in large scale custom tattoos, with an approach centered on designing art that is both unique and timeless. It is owned and operated by Ray Atwood, a visual artist born, educated, and based in Thunder Bay, who has spent the past several years building a reputation for ambitious, large-scale custom work since establishing the studio in 2020.

Ray is a graduate of Lakehead University's Fine Art Program, where his early practice centered on painting in oil and acrylic, producing both representational and abstract mixed-media pieces. That background continues to inform the studio's tattoo work, which carries recurring themes of solitude, impermanence, dwelling, and perception, drawn from an ongoing interest in nature and abandoned, dilapidated spaces. Prospective clients can view examples of tattoo work, design, and painting on the studio's site and book a consultation directly to begin a custom piece.
