Rich Handford is a tattoo artist working out of Kapala Tattoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He has owned the shop since 2003 and has a great team working at the shop, and his own experience as a tattooer dates back to 1999.


Rich specializes in Japanese but also does great neo-traditional and occasional American traditional work. On his Instagram page you’ll find mainly colour work, but if you’re in the market for a piece without colour Rich can handle that for you as well.


Rich’s portfolio is full of mainly large scale work such as sleeves and back pieces, but if you’re looking for something smaller he can take care of it.


In addition to owning and operating Kapala Tattoo, Rich has been instrumental in getting the Red River Exhibition Park Tattoo Convention up and running, taking place every summer.


If you’re in the area or are passing through Winnipeg Rich is a must-see artist at a great shop.
