My name is

Mike Benton

Mike (aka Chip) has had a love for tattoos since a very young age. His Grandfather ignited Mike’s interest and passion in the tattoo industry, as he used to show Mike his tattoos and then proceed to tell him to never put identifying marks on his body. Obviously that never stopped him. He first started tattooing as a kid trying to hand poke tattoos with a needle and thread, until he heard that it was possible to make tattoo machines on his own. He then got to work and taught himself how to tattoo at the age of 15/16, and soon found his way into a shop. In the 30+ years that Mike has been tattooing, he has owned and worked in various shops all across Canada, where he has gained the experience to tattoo in pretty much any style, from Japanese, to realism, to colour, but he gravitates towards fine line and black and grey tattoos. “I eat, sleep, and breathe tattoos, and live the lifestyle to the fullest.”

.@theovon you truly are one of God`s children. Thank you for your words. ...

I can do an entire body part (3 exercises x 4 sets) in the same amount of time it takes some people to do a single exercise. I do two body parts in under an hour. If you’re spending more than an hour in the gym you are there way too long. Do every exercise to failure, 30-60 seconds rest. Don’t take it from me, take it from freak shows like Dorian Yates and Jay Cutler.

Yes I’m ranting because that was a machine I wanted to get on.
