Summertime is upon on us in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). For many, the balmy days of June, July, August, and early September denote wedding season. As someone with a romantic union on the near horizon as well, you’re making plans to make yours a memorable occasion not just for you and your beloved, but for members of the wedding party and perhaps a few special guests. One thing that comes to mind, are tattoos! That’s right, hiring a tattoo artist for a wedding party has become a popular concept over the last decade. It offers those who are closest to you (as a couple) an opportunity to take with them a permanent keepsake that they will smile upon fondly for their lives. Below is a quick look at everything couples (or wedding planners) need to know prior to booking a studio or tattoo artist for your wedding.
What Couples (or wedding planners) Need to Know When Seeking a Tattoo Artist for a Wedding Party in Toronto
Best Tattoo Studio for Your Wedding Party
While it may seem like a fun idea to have a tattoo artist at your wedding reception, there is generally a larger cost to do so, when compared to the alternative. They must bring all of their equipment with them and ensure that the space abides by all health and safety requirements set forth by the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario as they apply to tattooing. And if you want a half-dozen or more people in your wedding party (and/or guests) to have the opportunity to get a tattoo during the reception, you will need to hire more than one artist (who must each bring their own equipment, et cetera) which increases the cost even further. It’s viable (see below) BUT have you considered pre-booking tattoos for members of your wedding party (who opt in) at a studio to take place one or two days before the wedding? This is generally a preferred route, as it gives the gift of a tattoo to loved ones, without disrupting the wedding party. Remember, you can’t drink alcohol prior to getting a tattoo.
Adrenaline Toronto is the ideal studio for wedding party tattoos. We have a large space with private rooms on the second floor which can be booked out for your wedding party. We also have a large staff of tattoo artists (view bios) who can accommodate small and medium sized wedding parties alike, as long as you book well enough in advance.

Best Type of Tattoo for Wedding Parties
Minimalism fine-line tattoos are the best option for wedding party tattoos. Pre-selected designs can be completed in one hour per person. This has a low cost (our minimum)of $100 for small and simple wedding party tattoos. We recommend working with Adrenaline Toronto in advance to come up with a small variety of simple flash designs that members of your party can choose from. Great examples that celebrate love but are general enough that they will be appealing to nearly anyone include the following:
- Fine line heart tattoo
- Fine line flower tattoo
- Fine line wine glass or champagne flute tattoo
- Fine line diamond/gem tattoo
- Fine line harp tattoo
- Fine line swans (or other “love birds”) tattoo
- Other (whatever may be unique to you and your loved ones)
