Had the best experience with Diana! It was my first tattoo, and she was calm, extremely professional and supportive from the first moment. She made me feel very comfortable all throughout the process. She took the inspo pics I gave her and made the most beautiful custom design for me, perfectly capturing the exact idea I had in mind. Safe to say, I'll definitely be rebooking with her for some more ink in the future! 🥰 The whole atmosphere in the studio is very relaxed, supportive and professional. Thank you to the whole team running the studio, you guys are awesome! 🤍

I got a tattoo from Diana today and she was honestly amazing! From the consultation, she totally got what I was going for, and the final design actually exceeded my expectations. She blended it perfectly with my other tattoos while still adding her own touch — which I love. It was a long appointment, but she made it such a comfortable experience. She checked in often and made sure we took breaks when needed, which I really appreciated. Already excited to go back for more and I’ll absolutely be recommending her to friends! <3

DIANA❤️ did my first ever tattoo and I had such a great experience. She was incredibly kind and patient, really listened to what we wanted, and took the time to adjust the design multiple times without ever rushing us. She also added her own artistic touch, which made the final piece even more beautiful. The whole process felt smooth and comfortable, and I’m so happy with the result.

I went to North Ink Tattoo and it really stuck with me because it felt like more than just getting inked. Right away I saw how clean and bright the studio is and how everyone working there seemed like they actually liked what they do. I had a free consultation with one of the artists and it felt like chatting with a friend who knew how to draw exactly what I had in my head. They helped me pick where my piece would look best and even showed me how it might look on my skin before we started. I almost forgot I was there for a tattoo because the whole time felt easy and relaxed, almost like we were just creating something together. The artist was calm and careful and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. When it was done I looked in the mirror and couldn’t stop smiling because it was exactly what I pictured. I would tell anyone who wants a tattoo in Vancouver to check them out if they want someone who listens and makes tattooing feel fun and special.

From the very first contact, my experience with North Ink was great. I booked a consultation with Alex, and he completely understood what I wanted and respected my vision for the tattoo. He was amazing during the session. We talked a lot, laughed, and the whole experience felt very relaxed. Alex is truly great. If you’re looking for high-quality work without unnecessary pain, I definitely recommend him.

What a great studio! Everyone was chatting and laughing, enjoying their job (which is SO refreshing!) Diana was so patient but honest with me. Being an anxious minded person, she gave me multiple options for my ideas that would translate into the best long term pieces. Her script work is super clean and she definitely knows her stuff. Very happy with her red ink work as well. Would definitely recommend her and these folks!

Diana did a phenomenal job with a text tattoo!! She worked with me every step of the way and was receptive to me wanting changes. I have over 15 tattoos and can hands down say this was one of the best tattoo experiences I have ever had. I will 100% be returning to Diana for my future tattoos! Thank you! ❤️ (No pic posted because it's still under the second skin and would not be an accurate depiction of the cleanliness of the lines and tattoo)

I had Diana as my artist and she was amazing! She gave me exactly what I wanted! And she made my first tattoo experience very seamless. She’s extremely talented and very nice as well.

Got my first tattoo done by Arthur and I couldn’t be happier, checked with me plenty if the stencil was exactly how I wanted it to be, and also continually check on me during the tattoo. Did a great job on the small details, I was in awe looking at the tattoo afterwards. Will definitely be coming back

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…
