Hi, I'm Tober!

Hey there, my name is Tober Carton and I am the face behind Compost.Smash. I am a local artist born and raised in treaty 6 territory. 

 

I love a good adventure and creative projects. My previous undertakings have included running a vegan meal delivery service, and building/living in an off grid tiny home for 6 years.

 

When I’m not tattooing, you can find me spending time in nature with my dog (and my girlfriends dogs) rock climbing, or taking something apart and trying to fix it.

I acknowledge that I am on Amiskwacîwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ , Treaty 6 territory which covers Western Alberta, Saskatchewan and into Manitoba. Composed of people Including the Dene Suliné, Cree, Nakota Sioux and Saulteaux  and Métis region 4 of Alberta. I want to acknowledge the sacred history of tattooing in this territory and to indigenous peoples around the world. 

I understand my privilege as a white settler and use that privilege to support communities in decolonizing tattooing. These efforts include tattooing all skin types, identities, and bodies. I refuse to benefit from the monetizing of indigenous culture and identity. I take it seriously as a white person on stolen lands to pay out to these communities when I can in the form of donations, tattoo fundraisers and using my platform to amplify indigenous voices. 

I want to express my gratitude to the First Nations, Inuit and Métis who have put in time and energy to educate me and the settler community. Thank you.
