My name is Dion Kaszas and I have been tattooing since 2009. My work has appeared in The New York Times, Skin Deep Magazine, The World Atlas of Tattoo, Tattoo Traditions of Native North America and most recently the television series Skindigenous which premiered in 2018 on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and USA Ink on the FOX Nation.
I have been an invited artist at international tattoo festivals in Spain, New Zealand, Samoa and across Canada.
I have a very diverse portfolio which stems from beginning my career in a small town street shop. My machine work includes dot work, fine line ornamental, cover-ups, black work, tribal, black out, water-colour, and black and grey. I am moving towards doing Blackwork and Blackout tattoos exclusively but currently taking on all projects represented in my portfolio.
I am most well known for using the traditional hand tattooing methods of my ancestors the Nlaka'pamux, these include skin stitching and hand poke.
I am always excited for a new project, big or small.
