My boyfriend and I got tattoos with Erik, and we couldn't be happier!!! He did such an incredible job and was so patient and truly went above and beyond. I love the designs he did for both of us, I will definitely be coming back. It was such a great experience, I really recommend it.

I lost my baby boy a couple weeks ago, so I decided to have his right foot as my first tattoo. Arthur did an amazing job printing exactly what I was hoping to achieve. Thanks everyone for being kind and understanding what I wanted.

I recently had my first tattoo done here and it was a very easy experience for me. Daria, my tattoo artist, explained everything very thoroughly over private messages and helped arrange a time that could fit my schedule. Once I arrived I was shown what my actual tattoo would look like and she offered to make any changes if necessary but I found the design great as is. She also had multiple sized stencils to see what would fit the positioning the best. I was offered to take breaks whenever needed as well as complimentary drinks during my stay. Overall I would certainly come back here in the future if I wanted to get more tattoos and I thank the staff for their hospitality :)

Had a really nice tattoo artist named Alex for my first tattoo. He was really nice and understanding. The place is well lit, sanitary, clean and friendly.

I had my first tattoo with Diana today and I cannot recommend her enough! She was brilliant! She put me at ease and talked me through the process and really took the time to discuss the best options for me! I adore my tattoo. Diana really listened to what I wanted! I would highly recommend if you want a fine line tattoo book with Diana!!

My experience with Diana truly meant so much to me. She is unbelievably kind and thoughtful, even coming in on her day off just to make sure I was taken care of. She was gentle, patient, and so intentional with every detail, explaining all my options and making sure I felt completely comfortable and happy. The tattoo turned out beautiful, and the care she put into it really shows. A genuine 10/10 experience — I’m so grateful to have found my tattoo artist and can’t wait to return. 💖

Had a fine line tattoo with Diana! She was awesome, took creative leadership & gave me exactly what I envisioned!! I originally wanted the one flower but the two made the hand whole & I LOVE it, she also fixed a part of my snake that was already there. She is super considerate & friendly, can’t wait to go back!

I recently had a tattoo done by Diana at North Ink. From start to finish it was a great and easy experience! Diana was able to do my consultation virtually and schedule me during a tight window I had traveling for work through Vancouver. She had designed three different concepts for me to choose from or modify following our initial conversation, and all were beautiful—it was hard to choose. The actual tattooing went smoothly, and Diana was professional, provided guidance when I asked her opinion, answered all of my questions in detail, prioritized sanitization, checked in on me, and followed up with me after to ensure it was healing properly. She is very detail oriented, kind, flexible, funny, and and easy to work with! The studio was clean and comfortable, and the other staff were friendly and welcoming also. I would highly recommend choosing her as a tattoo artist and having ink done at North Ink!

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.…
Introduction This is going to be the ultimate tattoo healing instruction you’ll find anywhere on the web. We’ll touch on the fundamentals of a tattoo healing process and walk through different methods we can use these days to take proper care of our tattoos. Okay, let’s start with the boring stuff that you might already know, but we’ll repeat it anyway. Our main issue and the biggest topic related to tattoo healing is infections—because this is the biggest problem you…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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. So, if you’ve put significant effort into shaping your upper body, a chest tattoo can enhance your efforts to stand out. On the other hand, you always have the option to keep your chest tattoo hidden, as it can remain concealed under clothing…
