Sage Tattoo and Art Gallery
“Having been a client and friend of Ian Rose since 2006, I can confidently say he is an absolute legend in the Ottawa tattoo community. With over 45 years in the industry, including his legacy running Universal Tattoo, following him into this exciting new chapter at Sage Tattoo & Art Gallery was a no-brainer.
Ian has done almost all my major work over the years, including both sleeves and my chest piece. We just wrapped up a massive full-leg custom piece aimed for the upcoming 2026 Ottawa/Gatineau Tattoo Convention - a grueling 25+ hour marathon across three back-to-back days.
Sage Tattoo & Art Gallery is an incredible space: clean, bright, professional, and visually stunning. Whether you’ve been getting tattooed by Ian for decades or are looking for a world-class artist for your next project, you will find him and many others at Sage. Excited to be part of Ian’s new chapter here, and I already look forward to the next project we do together!
A huge shoutout to Alex as well, who constantly checked in on me during brutal sitting hours, making sure I was comfortable, hydrated, and keeping me supported.
Massive props to Jordan as well. What impressed me most was the post-session review process. After 25+ hours when we thought we were done, Jordan brought Ian and the digital photos into the glass studio to review contrast, grayscale, and fine highlights. Pushing for that extra 5% perfection before a client walks out the door shows true dedication to quality control and artist growth. We also had a minor miscommunication on quote details at payment, but Jordan handled it with complete class and epic professionalism post-session, showing that Sage is built on genuine integrity.”
