REVIEWS
Arthur was very professional and made my experience truly special. It was my first tattoo and in memory of my mom, and he understood that perfectly and captured the best of my mom’s eyes. The aftercare instructions were clear, and when I had a question and reached out to him, he responded promptly. I would definitely recommend North Ink and Arthur.

My mother, sister and I went here over the weekend to get matching tattoos. We settled on 2-3 designs Artur S had drawn up.It was for my mom's 60th birthday, she got her first tattoo and the experience here was 10/10.Artur did a 100/10 job, would 100% go back again.The staff overall were so wonderful and friendly, very professional. We really enjoyed our experience!Thank you again :)

Such a fantastic shop. Really nice environment and all the artists were lovely. The artist I went with was Kenny, he done some work for me in Ireland and I loved it so I had to come back for more. I’d highly recommended him, from the initial consultation to his patience with the stencil process he’s a pleasure to work with.

I recently had a few sessions with Alex and I'm super happy with the way it turned out. I also want to note that a ton of it was free handed which shows how talented he is. Not just him though, the other artists work that I witnessed was phenomenal. The vibes are also great, it's very welcoming and every time I go it doesn't even feel like I'm going to get a tattoo, just to chill with my peeps...besides having my skin needles thousands of times and missing my dog.

How to Get a Tattoo You Won’t Regret
Most people get their first tattoo 'wrong.' Not because it looks bad, but because they haven't learned how to work with an artist yet. I’ve been tattooing since 2013, and I want to help you skip the 'beginner' phase and get straight to the magic. The Beginner Usually it goes like this. The first tattoo is something small and simple. Pain is a concern, commitment feels scary, so people play it safe. Then, gradually, tattoos get bigger and more complex.…

When a tattoo starts peeling?
Why Tattoos Peel After a Few Days After you get a tattoo, a few days later, it starts peeling. Why does it happen, and what should you do? Let’s go back to some fundamentals: Our skin is layered and grows from the inside. Skin cells are generated on the inner levels, they’re quite watery and full of fluids, and slowly they move up and dry out. The top layer of our skin is basically dead skin cells. It’s like a…

The Concept Behind North Ink Tattoo
When I tell people I own a tattoo shop, they assume it’s because of my love for tattoos. The truth? I’m obsessed with building great businesses. Tattoos are an amazing product, but what excites me the most is creating a shop that runs smoothly, serves clients well, and gives artists a great place to work. Although I started my first shop six years ago as a tattoo artist, I quickly realized that while doing tattoos is fun, my real passion…

My Perspective on Tattoo Pricing in Vancouver
When I moved to Vancouver and started tattooing here, I found the concept of hourly rates a bit unusual. It’s not just tattoo artists—plumbers, electricians, and basically anyone working in a trade often charges hourly. On one hand, I understand the logic behind it. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel; as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” However, I’m currently in a position where I don’t have to build my business from scratch or…

The Road to Our Business License
A Rollercoaster of Challenges and Lessons We did it! We finally got our business license. Wohoo! But man, the road to this milestone wasn’t easy. As my first blog post, I want to share the journey with you — raw, real, and maybe a bit ridiculous. Migrating to Canada? Challenging. Migrating to Canada and opening a business at the same time? You’d have to be an idiot like me to try it. Looking back, I probably should’ve waited a bit…

Chest Tattoos
A large chest tattoo has become very popular among those who invest effort in building a muscular and toned body. There’s no doubt that a great chest tattoo draws people’s eyes to the chest, abdomen, and shoulders.
