Does Toronto Ontario hold a special place in your heart? It does in ours, which is why we’re located in the heart of the city! Whether you’re still a resident or you’ve moved away to follow a career or romantic path (etc.) you want to honor your affinity for our fine city with a work of body art. However, you’re a little stuck for concepts. Below are some Toronto tattoo ideas that will show your appreciation for the 6ix!
Cool Tattoo Concepts to Convey Your Love for Toronto ON
Black & Grey Skyline of Toronto
You can’t go wrong with a big city skyline tattoo done in the black & grey style. This Adrenaline piece is shown against a mirror to make it seem as if the skyline is reflecting off of Lake Ontario.
Unique Skyline of Toronto
This unique take on the Toronto skyline was done by Adrenaline’s watercolor expert Jony Somoza (view bio) which really captures the vibrant character of the city. Speaking of unique ways to convey downtown Toronto’s distinguishing skyline, check out the image below which captures two GTA themes in one very well done project!
416 Area Code
While there are 647 and 437 (and probably more to come) Toronto’s best known area code is 416, which works exquisitely as a tattoo when paired with some other GTA identifier such as the skyline. This blackwork piece was also done by our own Jony Somoza.
Toronto Airspace or GPS Coordinates
The above delineates the airspace over Toronto, which works great as a tattoo concept. Another option to consider in this vein are GPS coordinates, done in a style/font that you like best. For your convenience, the GPS coordinates for downtown Toronto are 43.6548° N, 79.3883° W. Although, if you really want to dial into this concept while honoring exactly where you have come to get your tattoo (Adrenaline) you can use our downtown Toronto tattoo studio’s GPS coordinates which are 43.6505° N, -79.3880° W.
License Plate
While it’s technically for Ontario, if your plates were insured in Toronto and associated with a meaningful vehicle (your first, or the family car, etc.) this is a really cool concept. The piece above (like the rest) was also done at Adrenaline on Queen Street West.
Toronto Sports Team Logo/s
One obvious but always popular option is to get one or more of your favorite Toronto sports teams’ logos done as a tattoo. The NBA’s Toronto Raptors logo is tailor-made for a cartoon/animated style of tattooing. The fact that they won the NBA Championship relatively recently (2019) adds value. Meanwhile, the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs logo could work well as a fine line style of tattoo. Who cares if they currently hold the longest championship drought in league history? The MLB’s Toronto Blue Jays logo also works well, as their two World Series titles (1992, 1993) are still remembered by the older crowd, Then there’s the logo for the Toronto Argonauts, who have won 18 Grey Cup championships, with the most recent one coming in 2022.
