About Me

Francis Hagendorn is a professional tattoo artist locally grown in the west end of Toronto. After finding her own style she made a home at the private studio Tuff Cat Tattoo.

A homebody at heart, she has done guest spots in New Zealand and Halifax, Nova Scotia. She enjoys traveling and hopes to explore other guest spot opportunities in the future.

Over the last 6 years of her career, she has spent that time honing her skills by taking classes in academic art, and attending seminars and drawing in her spare time.

Academically, Francis attended the University of Toronto for Art History and Sheridan College studying studio art, specializing in Drawing and Sculpture. After graduating in 2013, she did an artist residency in Glasgow, Scotland and worked in dog day cares before pursuing her passion in tattooing. 

Francis specializes in black and gray tattoos with a particular fondness of portraits, dogs, filigree, large scale projects, and florals.
