so, who is inez?

 Inez is a Collingwood legend of times past and great-grandmother to INEZ TATTOO's founder, Montana Inez.
With Montana's middle name and the studio both being namesakes, Inez's local legacy lives on!

Born and raised, Inez is a fondly remembered character of the Collingwood scene of times past. The whole family's history is rooted in the neighbourhood, so the creative hub has always held a precious place in Montana’s heart – which is why settling the studio here after 10 years feels so special. 

The lady behind the inspiration lived in Collingwood from 1922 and stuck around her whole life. Working in many of the local factories, one even being on the very same street that INEZ TATTOO now resides – how's that for a full circle moment?

A battler of breast cancer, Inez's journey touched Montana deeply and fostered her dedication to enriching the lives of breast cancer survivors.
