Before it all, I worked in the medical field as a lab technician and nursing assistant. Not to mention also being a mom to my energetic 12 year old son, Seven Pain. I enjoyed working in the medical field but I knew my life needed more excitement, and more family time. 12 years ago i remember siting in our living room with Kelly, brain storming on ideas to start a tattoo and piercing studio. Not long after, we decided to open up Pleasure and Pain in our home. It worked for a bit, but we knew we needed a store front.

It didn’t take long before Kelly and I realized that this was going to be big. We found a location and started pushing PnP Ink even harder. This has become my life, a far cry from being a shy and reserved girl Kelly corrupted, opening up new horizons for me. Piercings and tattoos are now my life . I can truly say that PnP Ink has come a long way. Through the rough and tough roads, Kelly and I have always remained strong, and still going stronger then ever today. The friends that we have made is a family for life, present, and past . I truly honor Kelly for what he has created and for what is yet to come.

I will always cherish Pleasure & Pain Ink.

It all started when I was 7, when it became evident I like to hurt people… Especially at that early age my parents recognized my extreme abundance of energy, so they bought me a drum set and I took it all the way to a professional platform. I still play to this present day. Along my crazy path I was enrolled in CUBS, Boy Scouts and Navy Cadets, becoming a lead snare drummer for the corporation and excelling in numerous competitions.

Following all that I found myself as the master of ceremonies for Larry Flint of Hustler Magazine with a following of huge porn stars. I’ve been involved with too many crazy events for any one website to describe. Life was good, and life was hectic. After 16 years in that industry I realized that these were just not my caliber of people, spurring me into a new search… I did my diligence and after some homework began a new journey to my inner evil side, exploring “body modification”.

Tattoo’s & Piercings aren’t only cool but they hurt. *evil laugh*

As it stands, there is still no counseling available for me.

I’m a body piercer and the owner of Pleasure and Pain Ink. I started my journey at 12, cleaning the shop and watching my father pierce people. Growing up in the industry, I learned intricate piercings and the art of connecting with people. I started piercing friends and family, continuing the craft after school. Over the years, I’ve expanded my skills, creating a fun, clean, and safe environment.

My goal is to change perceptions about tattoos and piercings, making our shop a welcoming space. I’ve had clients express gratitude for the positive experience. Outside of the shop, I explored various industries, traveled globally, and learned forex trading during COVID. Now, I’ve returned to the family business, combining my passion for piercing with financial freedom. I aim to continue serving the community, making every day at Pleasure and Pain Ink an enjoyable experience.

My name is Dino, and tattooing has been my life for over 18 years. I was born and raised in Hungary, where I discovered my love for art at a very young age. Drawing was always my escape. It gave me hope, direction, and something to believe in when life was not easy. From the moment I learned about tattooing, I knew this was what I was meant to do. I spent years practicing every single day, teaching myself, pushing myself, and never giving up on my dream. I dreamed of coming to Canada and building a life through my art. I saved everything I could, took a leap of faith, and moved across the world to chase the future I always believed was possible.

When I arrived in Canada, I searched for a place that felt like home — somewhere that respected the art, the artists, and the people who walk through the door. That search led me to Pleasure and Pain Ink, where I was welcomed with open arms and given the opportunity to grow, create, and truly belong. For me, tattooing is about more than ink on skin. It is about trust, connection, and turning someone’s story into something they will carry forever. I put my heart into every tattoo I create, because I know how meaningful these moments are for my clients. Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone smile when they look at their tattoo for the first time. That feeling is everything to me. This is not just my job. This is my passion, my purpose, and my life. I am grateful every day for every client who trusts me with their skin and their story.
