After years of working for outdated shops and employers, Kelly Pain opened a studio that would better reflect his visions of the industry. Tired of the intimidating old fashioned "tattoo shop", he was eager to revamp the attitudes, etiquette and image of the scene.

 

A place that would reflect an open mind, and the diversity of the community.  

 

 

Alongside some of the youngest up and coming tattoo artists from all over the cultural spectrum, Pleasure & Pain Ink Tattoo and Piercing Studio was established in the heart of Mississauga, at Dundas & Hurontario st.

​

A year after opening the shop, Pleasure and Pain ink Inc was selected among three other candidates to tattoo Chris Bosh, former captain of the Toronto Raptors for a documentary titled ‘First Ink’.

​

After a devastating fire destroyed the studio in February 2017,

Pleasure and Pain Ink moved to it's new home in Port Credit.

​

Since opening the new studio, P&P has been Voted #1 Tattoo and Piercing Studio

in Mississauga for 2 years in a row by The Mississauaga Newspaper

Readers Choice Awards,

and has been featured on Threebestrated.com for the last three years

after a 50 point inspection process

There is still a long way to go,

there is no appreciation.   

​

Without pain,

there is no pleasure.
