In less than a month, Twenty Twenty Tattoo Studio is set to open in Niverville—by April 1, after Niverville’s town council approved their conditional use application in mid-February.
Twenty Twenty’s owner, Jason Majury, is a graduate of the Red River College Business Administration program who has been running a successful tattoo shop in the south end of Winnipeg for the last seven years.
Although not a Niverville resident himself, Majury and his family have lived in the surrounding area for many years. He feels he can better serve the southeast Manitoba area clientele who had already been coming to Winnipeg for services by opening up a shop in Niverville.
“Over the last 13 years, I’ve managed to build a strong clientele from many of the southern rural communities,” says Majury. “Niverville is a young, vibrant town and a hotbed for growth in southern Manitoba. I felt that bringing my services to Niverville would not only diversify the growing business community, but would be an excellent opportunity to add to its economic development by attracting many of the surrounding communities, including Winnipeg.”
Twenty Twenty will offer services in laser tattoo lightening and tattoo removal, but custom designed tattoos is where the business will primarily focus.
“Designing custom tattoos makes up about 90 percent of what I do,” says Majury. “But I do have a book of my own pre-drawn designs to choose from and am always open to tattooing flash designs or specific images the client has in mind. I try my absolute best to give my clients something unique or put my own spin on things so that they receive something one-of-a-kind.”
Choosing a tattoo, and choosing the right artist to apply it, is highly personal. So getting to know your tattoo artist can really help. Majury’s passion for the art of tattoo keeps him dedicated to being on the cutting edge of his profession.
“Besides studying the different styles of tattooing over the years, I draw a lot of inspiration from everyday life, and the world around us,” he adds. “The wonders of nature and the outdoors specifically hold so much beauty and inspire me endlessly. I get very excited whenever I have the opportunity to incorporate organic elements into my designs, or creating a natural flow within the subject matter to truly compliment the person wearing the design. There are so many great styles of tattoos that I love and appreciate, including Japanese- or Asian-influenced designs, to American Traditional and everything in between. I really enjoy the challenge of coverups, and making the possible out of the impossible.”
As a tattoo artist, Majury also sports multiple tattoos himself. When asked about how many tattoos he has on his body, he says, “Too many to count! I am pretty close to full coverage and am working on completing my body suit.”
Twenty Twenty will be located at 226 Main Street, using the side entrance next to Anya’s Hair Studio. Bookings can be made by appointment by contacting Twenty Twenty through the email address listed on their website.
“We are currently taking pre-bookings, and anyone who mentions our article in The Citizen can take advantage of our promotional rate for 2020,” Majury says.
If you’re interested in a tattoo, there’s one main piece of advice Majury would like you to know: “Outside of researching your artist and making sure they are the right fit, being open to your artist interpreting your ideas and taking them to the next level for you is very important. An experienced artist will make sure that your idea will not only fit and move with you properly but will ensure that you get something unique that will stand the test of time.”
