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.

    Funhouse Tattoo is great! The artists are just that. Artists! They are also really great people. I have never had a bad experience there and am confident that I won’t.
    Thank you Art for your talent and wit.

    We walked in, looking for something while visiting the city. The shop was very clean! Staff was professional and the vibes were great. Both of us left very impressed with our tattoos and the artists. Daniel and the young lady did an absolutely wonderful job

    Nestor is an amazing artist. He was attentive to details from beginning to end and the crew is super friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend them for your next tattoo.

    I was recommended to go here from my friend and I’m so glad I listened to her. I went here and got my boyfriend’s ear piercings, my nostril, and our friend came as a walk in. This was his birthday gift from me! They took us all in and the lady (Jenny i believe?) made us all feel so comfortable and made us laugh in between piercings. She was extremely professional and understanding of my fear of needles and made sure I was comfy before going through with the piercing. I will be recommending this establishment to my friends from now on. Thank you all so much!

    Went there to get my lobes pierced for the very first time! The staff and environment were very open and friendly. My piercer made sure I was very comfortable and happy with the placements. Lots of options available for first time studs! Pricing is fair and decent too. Definitely recommend if you are unfamiliar with ear piercings

    Olivia is a gifted artist. After a brief discussion about what I was hoping for, she drew a freehand design on my arm that was perfect, and then began the tattoo. The finished product is better than I could have hoped, and I am thrilled that it is mine. I could not recommend her or the studio more highly; it is a clean, professional space in which I felt very comfortable. Because of the high demand for Olivia’s work, I waited several months before I was able to schedule my appointment with her, but it was well worth the wait.

    I usually don’t make reviews on anything but I went to strictly tattoos and couldn’t have had a better experience! This was indeed my first tattoo ever and my artist was Eric. Amazing person. He gave me a great experience talked me through what he was doing throughout the tattoo making sure i was ok and checking in on my constantly. I was even late for my third session and he was very understandable. Words don’t justify the experience I had! 10/10 would recommend strictly tattoo as well as the tattoo artist Eric, thanks for the great experience and hopefully i can finish the sleeve soon!

    I got my first and only tattoo at strictly tattoo. I had been searching for a tattoo artist for years and had never found anyone trustworthy of placing something permanent on my body, until I met Horiryu 1. He’s a master class traditional artist and is absolutely lovely and humble in person. I did a total of 32 hours with him and felt completely at ease in the whole process. The staff was also very attending and welcoming and made sure I got whatever I needed in the process. I highly recommend this place for anyone who’s interested in authentic Japapene irezumi. You will not find a better place!

    Went in with a few friends on Saturday for some matching tattoos, we must’ve lucked out because we got in right away. I wish I got our artist’s name, but he did great work, was friendly (not super talkative but that’s a plus to some people) and had a sketch drawn up quickly! My friend mentioned he is super light handed which is always a bonus. We were quoted $120-$140 each, and the final price was $160. Which still isn’t bad, I’m thinking he maybe thought we wouldn’t tip which is why the price was bumped up but either way we walked out happy. Will be back for more tattoos in the future!

    This place is great, I walked in and asked if I could get a tattoo done, I got in right away. My artist drew out the tattoo I wanted and made a stencil. His space was very clean and he was professional. After the tattoo was done he carefully went over aftercare tips and answered all my questions. He also offered to give me an another piece of “second skin” to bring home with me just in case the one he put on fell off. (the tattoo is on my neck, an awkward place for second skin) He was very professional and took his time. I wish I had gotten his name!
