Support Nick Payne – A Local Artist & Business Owner Facing Cancer

We’re reaching out to support an incredible man, husband, father, and artist—Nick Payne, a 46-year-old tattoo artist from Hagersville, Ontario, who has recently been diagnosed with colon cancer and a lesion on his liver. This life-altering news has deeply impacted his family, friends, and the tight-knit community he’s served for years.

Born and raised in Jarvis, Ontario, Nick has been a part of the Hagersville community since 2010, when he started working at a small local shop. Through hard work, passion, and dedication to his craft, Nick became the proud owner of South Coast Tattoo, turning it into a staple in the community. For over a decade, he’s built lasting connections through his artistry, creating meaningful tattoos and memories for thousands of clients.

Nick has been married to his beautiful wife for 23 years, and together they’re raising two wonderful children. His family is his greatest pride, and they’re now facing an incredibly difficult journey together.

As a small business owner, Nick doesn’t have the safety net that many others do. With upcoming treatments, recovery time, and the physical toll of battling cancer, Nick will need to step away from South Coast Tattoo for a while. Without any backup income or benefits, this time away from work will be incredibly challenging financially.

Over the years, Nick has generously donated to countless causes, always showing up for his community. Now, it’s our turn to show up for him.

Every donation—no matter how small—will go directly toward helping Nick and his family cover medical expenses, basic living costs, and giving him the peace of mind he needs to focus on healing.

Let’s rally behind a man who has given so much of himself to others. Please consider donating and sharing this page to help Nick Payne through the fight of his life.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.
