Thank you for your interest in working together to create the best tattoo for you.
I reside in Vancouver, BC and tattoo in both Vancouver and my hometown of San Francisco, CA.
ElectroLadyLux Tattoo Studio on Commercial Drive is now closed. With over 25 years running the shop, Teresa was ready to scale down and tattoo from a private studio. A giant thanks to Teresa for hosting me these past 3+ years, and all the best on her next endeavours.
