The space

Inside the studio

The studio sits on the second floor at 93 Dunlop Street East, above the downtown strip. It is a private room rather than a storefront, so a session is not shared with a waiting room full of people.

Apollonia Ink also opens the space for private bookings, birthdays and group nights, and hosts drag brunches and classes through the year.
