The Best Vancouver Tattoo Shops

  • July 12, 2023
  • Bryan

Vancouver, a coastal gem nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the soaring peaks of the North Shore Mountains, is a city brimming with natural beauty and urban sophistication.

Known for its thriving arts scene, world-class dining, and diverse cultural heritage, Vancouver gracefully weaves the comfort of urban living with the serenity of its surrounding wilderness. Whether you’re exploring the bustling historic districts or the tranquil rainforest parks, you’ll find a city steeped in creativity and a love for the outdoors.

This fusion of nature and culture also manifests in Vancouver’s flourishing tattoo scene. As diverse as the cityscape itself, Vancouver’s tattoo studios, scattered from Gastown to Kitsilano, offer a canvas for those seeking to tell their unique stories through the art of tattooing.

Blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs, these tattoo artists echo the city’s spirit — a harmonious blend of historic roots and forward-thinking innovation. Just like Vancouver, the tattoo culture here offers a rich tapestry of artistic expression, each design as unique and vibrant as the city it graces.

Our favorite tattoo studios

There are a lot of studios out there, some better than others. We created this list by searching the internet for the highest-rated tattoo shops based on their Google ratings, which should give you an honest representation of some of the best.

    From start to finish my experience at Love More was top notch. This studio has a chill vibe surrounded by interesting art. I was having a large piece across my chest to cover/beautify mastectomy scars. I had an idea of what I wanted and Tia designed a stunning piece that exceeded my expectations! I wanted something bold, yet feminine, check and check. Andrei (owner of the studio) is warm, welcoming and uber talented as well.The tattoos I watched him work on while I was there were mind blowing. I have found my studio!! Thank you. These guys are hard working and really know their craft.

    I cannot tell you how much I am in LOVE with my new tattoo by Jamie. Her studio was so cute, clean, and comfy. This was my second tattoo ever, and she made the process so easy and laidback. I asked her for a couple small revisions to her vision and she was so patient and professional about it. She is a delight to work with and so easy to talk to. Also, she was fast! I 150% recommend Jamie.

    Amazing experience! I asked Jamie to design me something that included: The Earth, the sun, mountains, ocean, trees, stars and incorporated geometry somehow. (I thought this was a crazy ask, so much stuff!) I gave her two reference images but said neither were what I wanted… She absolutely nailed the design! Better than I could have imagined and I absolutely love it. So happy with the result! Jamie is awesome. So talented, super creative, chatty, friendly, kind and fun. I will definitely be going back to her for future tattoos! I highly recommend. Thank you Jamie!!

    I’ve had multiple compliments on my lips, eyeliner and eyebrows done by Angela. She made the perfect blend for my lips to naturally match my skin tone. Her space is clean, she is professional and thorough in terms of after care. I had a great experience and I’d recommend her to anyone who is interested in getting those same services.

    I recently had the pleasure of flying from Calgary to visit Studio Artisphere for my birthday, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. The studio was impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and hygienic environment. The decor was trending and thoughtfully designed, adding to the overall vibe of the space.

    I braved the permanent eyeliner service and also had my eyebrows done. Angela was not only highly skilled but also incredibly friendly and attentive. She took the time to understand my preferences and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the entire process.

    My eyeliner and eyebrows results were nothing short of amazing. Angela displayed exceptional precision and artistry, leaving me with beautifully enhanced features that looked incredibly natural. Angela is a true artist and the best in her field.

    I highly recommend Studio Artisphere to anyone in search of a clean, trendy and high end experience. I’ll definitely be returning to Vancouver for future services!

    Had a great time as a walk-in! Some friends from out of town wanted to get tattoos, and another shop recommended that we go to Rain City. I really appreciate the way they took time consulting us and making us feel comfortable. All the staff were friendly! I saw Tania, and we shared a fun chat about astrology while she worked on my tattoo. I’m loving my tattoo! Thanks again!!

    I have been twice to see Lena for tattoos. The first time I had two friends join me. Lena did excellent work on all of our tattoos, so much so that I came again two weeks later with my son and we both got tattoos! She is a very skilled artist who does exceptional work. I can highly recommend her and Raincity. cheers, RA

    Reception, artists, and customers were all in an accommodating vibe. I got to work with Paul (that freehanded) and finally got a rose on my hand like I’ve always wanted but better than I imagined! Will be back for the other hand soon!

    Cerin is AMAZING ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

    Met for consultation in January, told her I wanted to get a lower sleeve done; loosely envisioned a chinese dragon with some floral design. We booked an appointment for Feb and Cerin took some pictures of my arm to do the design.

    On the day of: she sent me the design beforehand and I was very impressed already. We tried the stencil and Cerin made sure it’s well-sized and balanced with my upper sleeve.

    The outline took about 3.5 hours and Cerin started the shading. In total it was 4.5 hours and by then my whole body was aching and in pain (not Cerin’s fault, i am very sensitive to pain, ironic that I go for tattoos 🥲). We arranged for the next appointment to continue the shading + space fillers.

    I am so excited to continue this piece. Cerin is absolutely wonderful. It’s one of the best tattoo experience i’ve had (and i’ve had quite a few). I am happy with both the design, the service, and the pricing. 💖

    My experience with Horisekai was wonderful. Not only did he listen carefully to my expression and ideas, Horisekai took on this special project with true professionalism and with the utmost care.

    I do genuinely know and feel that Horisekai went out of his way to help me have the best experience while completing the art with precision. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the result. I would happily pursue more collection of Horisekai’s beautiful artworks. Thank you so much.

    Horishi, I can’t even begin to describe my amazing experience with you. From the moment I walked into your studio for a consultation, you greeted me with warmth and friendliness, and a genuine interest in what I had to say. I immediately felt comfortable and at home in your space. Throughout the process, you artistically incorporated all of my ideas and desires while utilizing your expertise to create a truly stunning art piece. It exceeded my expectations by far.

    To me personally, your craft, skills, and wisdom are the epitome of Western Canada’s traditional Irezumi culture – precise, bold, modern, yet calm and collected. What truly stood out was the knowledge and wisdom I gained during our journey. You understand that tattooing, especially the Irezumi at your studio is not just about getting inked; it’s a journey of trust and respect based on integrity. By the end of it, I didn’t just leave with a beautiful art piece, but also a newfound brother in you, Horishi. I am proud to have both.

    Thank you,

    Dusanth
