ABOUT BSSC
Black Sheep Social Club. Formally known as Tiffany's Tattoos & Fine Art or Tiffany Tattoos Stratford. This shop started small in it's original location at 148 St. Patrick Street in August of 2016 with a team of just one artist, Tiffany Bridges, and one receptionist, Matt Campbell. In January of 2018, Tiffany's took up residence in its new, permanent home at 150 St. Patrick Street in beautiful, downtown Stratford, Ontario. In April of 2018, Tiffany's re-branded and officially re-opened as Black Sheep Social Club.
​
With tripling the space of Tiffany's original location, owner and tattoo artist, Tiffany Bridges decided to expand its services, and her team. She welcomed another full-time artist, Jeff Holmes, a former tattoo shop owner in Sarnia, Ontario. Joining the tattoo team on our popular "Walk-In Wednesdays" is also Cher Rettinger, an experienced tattoo artist and shop owner in St. Mary's, Ontario. Coming this summer to BSSC, we will be offering professional body piercing by Jax Balfour with high quality body jewellery from reputable companies.
We now offer a new, spacious layout for paint nights, and we expanded the store front to carry and display our consignment items from a variety of local consignors, as well as our future jewellery displays. We invite you to visit our new space and check it out for yourself!
