WELCOME TO
THE LEWIS FAMILY TATTOO COMPANY
by appointment only
Lewis Family Tattoo Company is owned and operated by veteran tattoo artist, Derek Lewis and his wife Christine. LFTC is located at 2235A Dundas St West, on the 2nd floor, just above the Roncesvalles Village in Toronto's west end and only a few blocks south of TTC Dundas West Station.
LFTC is a fully disposable studio which means needles and tubes are single use only. We have pigment options for those who are vegan or have specific allergies and we are the proud home of Better Butter Care, a limited ingredient body butter used before, during and after tattooing that aids in the healing process.
We proudly display our green BodySafe Pass and licence from the City of Toronto Public Health.
