tattoo Consultations in Vancouver
If you’re looking for a tattoo consultation in Vancouver, I offer free consults to chat through ideas, placement, and what kind of piece you’re after. I always recommend a consultation for back pieces and sleeves, but it can be super helpful for smaller custom tattoos too—especially when we’re working around existing pieces or filling in gaps. I also offer virtual consultations if you're not local and planning to travel in from out of town. It’s a chill, no-pressure convo to make sure we’re aligned before booking anything in.
-
We'll talk through what you’re thinking—ideas, references, placement, and any questions you have. I’ll then take a tracing of your body. It’s casual and collaborative.

Free!

Yes! If you’re not local, I offer virtual consults. This works well if you're coming in from places like Abbotsford, Langley, West Vancouver, Whistler, or even Bellingham. It gives us time to plan your visit and make sure we’re ready to go when you arrive at the parlour.
-
You don’t need anything, but if you have reference images or inspiration, feel free to bring them. Even a note on your phone works.
-
Just be open and honest about what you want (or don’t want). If you're unsure, we’ll figure it out together. Please be clear with budget as well.
-
Most are 15–30 minutes, depending on how much we need to go over.
-
Only if we’re booking your tattoo. Consults are free and no-pressure—just a way to make sure we’re aligned. After we finish the consult, if you decide you want to book in I take a $100 deposit to book.

This can change depending on the season, but I’ll always give you the most accurate timeline during our meeting. It’s typically 3 months out.

Bold, traditional tattoo designs look good on anyone. I work with clients of all genders and body types to create something that feels powerful and personal. Whether you're into colour or black and grey, more classic or more playful, a good tattoo starts with a sick idea—and that’s what these chats are for.

If you're planning a trip to Vancouver to get tattooed, it’s a good idea to schedule a virtual consult ahead of time. That way, we can go over everything and make sure the design and timing are locked in before your visit. Whether you’re coming from nearby spots like Victoria, Kelowna, or Seattle—or flying in from further out—I’ll work with your travel schedule to make it easy.
