Thank you for your interest in working together to create the best tattoo for you. I reside and tattoo in Vancouver, BC and make frequent trips to tattoo in my hometown of San Francisco, CA.
JUNE UPDATE: Many tattoo studios in Vancouver are open for business. I am choosing to wait a bit longer with respect to our health and safety and the evolving COVID-19 information. The health of both of us is my primary concern. I will update again at the end of June. Thank you for your support, and I hope you are all well. If you'd like to start planning a future tattoo, please email samtattoo@gmail.com.
Feel free to email any questions. samtattoo@gmail.com
