Adorn Uptown — Local services in Vancouver

Let me start off by saying the environment at this studio was absolutely amazing, staff were very warm and welcoming. I got my first ever tattoo with Nina, her online form was very easy to fill out, so as a newbie, it didn’t feel like a big ol barrier or hassle. She was very adept at giving explanations and recommendations about parts of the tattoo that should be changed for a better product. I felt like she was very understanding and simply wanted me to have the best tattoo possible. She also recommended things to bring so that I was prepared for the entire processes, which again was very reassuring to someone who was getting their first tattoo. Aside from that, she was very understanding and reassuring during the entire process, she was very easy to talk to and very considerate. She would always check up on me throughout the processes and never pressured me into continuing the appointment if I wanted to call it a wrap for that day and come back, or if I wanted to power through. We took several small breaks throughout the appointment, which she recommended, and I very much felt as through that was why I was able to get the entire piece done in one appointment. After I had gotten it all done and she was getting me ready to go home, she explained what all of the steps to healing processes my tattoo would go through, which both prepared me and eased me when I arrived at those different stages. All in all, she is a brilliant artist and I think is perfect for anyone considering getting their first tattoo. If I had to get a first tattoo again, I would pick Nina...

Went in to get a piercing after booking online. I didn't see that i needed to bring my vaccine card but the information was online if you read up the fine print so i guess that's fine. The reason I'm giving it 1 star is the crazy surprise that the basic jewelry to get a piercing is $40 when the price online says $50 for the piercing. She said it's in addition to and says online but it doesn't say any of that when you book. So i went in thinking I would pay $50 plus a tip just to find it was $90+. I let her know she should make it clear that the basic jewelry starts at $40 so people aren't surprised and then she starts trying to sell me on the fact that it's the "best" available even though every shop carries titanium. When i let her know that it's definitely not that cost anywhere else I've been she proceeds to say that she understands if you're new to it that there may be a sticker shock like i didn't just tell her I've been to multiple places and i have 5 piercings in my ears and have other non facial piercings. I'm definitely not new to piercing prices. The fact I even considered it cause i was already there is why I'm so mad. It's obviously a ruse to lure people in with the guise of low prices at a quality place just to double it when you get there. Not ok, I'm definitely going to Chaotic good who is more expensive but COMES WITH the basic jewelry and has everything clearly stated online which is what a real...

I recently received a piercing from Luke at the Vancouver location. I intentionally waited a few days to ensure I was as pleased with the experience as I suspected I was. Turns out, I am MORE SO!

I initially went in hoping for an industrial, but suspected I did not have the correct anatomy to support it properly. Turns out that was indeed the case. I then asked Luke if there were anything similar I did have the anatomy for. He explained, that a straight bar wouldn't work, but if I were willing to allow him to customize a piece for me, he could bend the bar, and I could fully rock a unique, one of a kind, industrial. HELL YES!!!?!?!?

Talk to your piercer folks!!! There's so much variety they can do, that we would never even think of!

Luke was incredible. He thoroughly explained every thing he was doing. He was profesional, thoughtful and kind. He treated me like a friend, rather than just 1 of 100 customers he sees everyday. The folks at the front counter were profesional, friendly and hospitable. My overall experience was beyond pleasant. It truly felt like hanging out with and being taken care of by friends

Oh, and the entire place is IMACUALATELY CLEAN! It's like a sterile art gallery in there, rather than a typical dingy tattoo shop.

4 days in and my piercing is doing better than I could have hoped for. I am through the moon thrilled. I will be...
