ANDY FERRIER - Shop Owner/Tattooer

Andy started tattooing at The Fall on Gottingen St. in Halifax with Paul Tynes in 1999. After bringing tattooing to Utility in 2003, he quickly established himself as one of Halifax’s favourite tattooers, winning many "best tattoo artist/best tattoo shop" awards in The Coast.  

Andy now spends his time running the studio, while taking on a lighter tattooing schedule that focuses on large-scale and one off traditional Japanese tattoos.
