Best Tattoo Shops In Vancouver

“Just had my daughter's ears pierced and I can't say enough about the cleanliness, professionalism, and friendliness of the staff that we dealt with. Right from entering the shop, being warmly greeted, to choosing earrings that fit and look good, right through to the actual piercings. Will definitely recommend.
Thank you all ?“

“It was a great experience. Ashish has been very nice and made sure my nose piercing was done right and how I want it to be. Talked me through the fear and made me comfortable:) quick and efficient.“

“Had an amazing experience at Studio Kiku with Ailie - professional, attentive, and very helpful throughout. Highly recommend!“

“I've had multiple great experiences at Sacred Heart. My artist, Syd, has been so easy to work with, and has produced two stunning pieces. They do a great job of putting you at ease, making you feel welcome, and providing guidance about your art - I would recommend Syd to anyone. Their flash pieces seem really fun, but my pieces were custom and Syd really helped bring them to life.

The shop itself is clean, friendly, and has a great vibe. I would bet anyone from a newbie to a vet would be comfortable here. There are lots of shops in Vancouver, but I can't imagine going to a different one.“

“These guys are amazing! I have had uneven lobe piercings I have wanted fixed for years! They fit me in as a walk in on a very busy Canada Day/Fifa game day. Josh was absolutely amazing and super funny! Can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Have seen Amanda a few times for some skin treatments and I LOVE her! From the first moment I met her I felt comfortable and relaxed. She has such a friendly, laid-back vibe and I felt like I was visiting a friend. And my treatments were so pleasant, expertly done and totally helped my skin. She is my go-to skin girl from now on :)“

“Clara and the gang are awesome! I was a walk-in and had some time to kill but didn’t really know what I wanted. Within a few hours a design was made and I was done. A fine line sword! Really happy with the piece and Clara was truly the best. Will be getting something again the next time I’m in those parts. You can tell she loves her job as much as her pup! Thank you so much“

“Two of my friends and I decided to get last-minute piercings and chose this place after reading the reviews. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and not intimidating at all. The front desk staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions.
All three of us were pierced by Francis, and while I can't speak for the other piercers, I can confidently and highly recommend him. He was professional, skilled, efficient, and had a great sense of humor. As someone who gets nervous about piercings, I really appreciated how comfortable and relaxed I felt throughout the entire process. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely return.“

“Got my tattoo from Bronson, he was great to have a conversation with, very accommodating and did great and fast work! Very happy with my tattoo and absolutely problem-free in healing. The work on display at all of the stations was also very cool. Definitely looking forward to the next time I can convince my wife I should get more fictional pigs permanently added to my skin.“

“I wanted to get my first tattoo but was a little unsure. Evan was more than welcoming however after some thorough consultation I realized another day would be better especially considering I need to put some more thought into what I would really like.“

“From my first consultation with Marcus (Horiryu2) to the final tattoo session, the entire experience was nothing but positive.
During our consultation, I told him I wanted a full sleeve featuring koi and lotuses. He took the time to explain traditional Irezumi—how the background works, the symbolism, and the overall flow of the piece. He also mentioned that he wouldn’t show me the design until the day of the first session, which honestly made me a bit nervous. About a week before we started, he reached out to finalize some details, which really helped put me at ease.
When my first session arrived, I was both excited and nervous. Stepping into his studio immediately felt like walking into someone’s home—warm, welcoming, and calm. I even took my shoes off, and did so for all five sessions. Just like many other reviews mention, the space is spotless, quiet, and relaxing. There’s no loud music, it’s completely one-on-one, and there’s even a TV where you can watch your favourite shows while getting tattooed. All of that makes a huge difference, especially for longer sessions.
Trust the process—seriously. When Marcus showed me the design for the first time, it was far beyond anything I could have imagined. He took everything we talked about during the consultation and translated it perfectly onto paper. I was blown away and couldn’t have been happier.
We completed the sleeve over five sessions, booking every two weeks. Throughout the process, you could really see his focus and attention to detail. The sessions never felt boring—we had great conversations, and the time flew by.
His line work, shading, and colouring are absolutely amazing. After each session, the tattoo somehow kept getting better, and even now I continue to notice new details. I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the result.
I will definitely be going back for another piece and would 100% recommend Marcus to anyone considering a tattoo.“

“My experience with Shauna for my permanent eyeliner was truly exceptional. The procedure was completely painless, and her precision was remarkable — she even created a perfect, subtle wing that complements my mature eyelids beautifully. It was an honour to be treated by such a talented and innovative professional. Shauna used her advanced hybrid universal BI-Blade®, the first two-in-one manual tool on the market, which made the process both painless and incredibly precise. The healing process was effortless — I experienced no swelling, no irritation, and absolutely beautiful results.

With 17 years of experience, Shauna is not only a true master of her craft but also a generous mentor who has guided me on many occasions. As a fellow artist, I can genuinely say the BI-Blade® has been a game-changer — it’s easy on the body, provides unmatched control and comfort, and has truly supported the longevity of my career. I’m proud to now offer this exclusive eyeliner service at Vancouver Cosmetic Tattoo. Highly recommended tool! Thank you Shauna!?“

“Such a lovely little studio! Duygu did my tattoo and she was very nice. She did a lovely job on the tattoo. There was a part on my hand that was a cover up from an old stick and poke and she incorporated it into the rest of the tattoo and I’m super happy about it! Highly recommend“

“Miki was a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. Great communication from the get go after getting the request form in. Very detailed in terms how ho you want the tattoo and lots of questions asked to ensure you got the tattoo that you wanted. Studio was very clean and sanitary. Miki gave me some options on the day of my appointment and basically just gave me feedback and comments. Very happy with my new tattoo and definitely do not regret getting one!“
