One of the most irritating things experienced by someone who is eager to get a quality tattoo is a lack of availability. Talented tattooists at a given shop may be booked up months in advance, or schedules simply don’t align with theirs (yours). Consequently, you end up having to put off getting the tattoo. This is a bummer because life can get in the way and you may not have the time or budget at a later date to get it done. Either that or you’re only in town for a little while on vacation. For these reasons you’re online and searching for local tattoo shops with availability. We’re glad you ..read more

Or, their kid may want to stop by mid-session to say “hi” and grab cash to go shopping at the nearby mall. And in nearly every case, their child is super excited to see the end result of the tattoo session, as soon as it has been completed. If you’re among this lot, then you may be searching for a family friendly tattoo shop near you. If located in the Greater Vancouver BC area you have found wh ..read more

Among tattoo ideas for parents, is one of our all-time favorites. A tattoo for your kid’s drawing, namely one that was made for you, is a means to freezing a point in time when your child wanted nothing more than to make you proud. It also gave them the opportunity to release their creativity and humor with the intent-and-purpose of scoring that coveted spot on the refrigerator door. It’s a concept that will forever make you and onlookers smile. We can say for certain that no tattoo removal expert has ever been tasked to remove a tattoo of a kid’s drawing.

Wrist tattoos have become increasingly popular as people in our evolved society (such as it is) are no longer afraid to wear their heart on the sleeve via a work of body art. While a smaller part of the body compared to larger canvases such as the chest, back, or thigh, a wrist tattoo provides you with something to admire whenever you desire to look upon it. Doing so is as easy as checking the time on your watch or phone. For this reason you should get a design about something that you’re most passionate about, something that takes you away from the mundane and puts you in a happy place. For m ..read more

In our recent summary of Vancouver tattoo ideas we admittedly neglected to name one very obvious idea – the East Van Cross. You likely know it from the 57 foot landmark that stands along Clark Drive at the corner of East 6th avenue, although you may not be familiar with the background. The monument to East Vancouver by conceptual artist Ken Lum was erected in 2010. While Lum’s website claims that the concept was developed from graffiti of the same vein that had circulated around East Vancouver for decades, it (the structure and graffiti prior) was clearly adopted from the Dogtown Cross in Los ..read more
