Daemon Rowanchilde
began tattooing in 1983, before attending and completing a program in Experimental and Fine Art at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto. Daemon studied Experimental Art, sculpture and jewelry design to loosen up his creativity and stimulate his imagination, and Fine Art to learn discipline and how to portray the human form in various media. It was during his time at OCA that Daemon developed the idea of tattooing as body design. He was fascinated by the dynamics of the human body in motion and how these dynamics could be enhanced by a skillfully placed and well executed design. Today, Daemon's art and body design explore universal energy patterns perceived by shamans and reflected in the art and healing rituals of diverse cultures across time and space. His wife Raven Rowanchilde is his "amusing muse" as Daemon puts it, and is his partner in business and life. She is a certified yoga instructor and energy worker, and they offer classes and workshops at their beautiful historic retreat in Fergus, Ontario.
